Chapter 87

hiss!

Qin Yu's words made the official who had just spoken gasp!

Just now they were in the position of justice and righteousness, but with just a few words from Qin Yu, the situation was turned upside down, and they became traitors who committed treason!

"The weapons and equipment of the Red Flame Iron Cavalry have always been worth 100,000 taels of silver. Zhao Feikun actually dared to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for 200,000 taels of silver. He is deliberately deceiving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Humph! Even if the Red Flame Iron Cavalry's weapons were made of ice iron, they would never be worth more than 1.5 million taels of silver. How dare Zhao Feikun demand 3 million taels of silver from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Your Majesty! This Zhao Feikun is so audacious! He clearly thinks Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't understand the ins and outs of this, so he's deliberately deceiving Your Highness!"

"A mere noble from aristocratic family actually dared to commit treason and threaten the Crown Prince. This is a heinous crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan!"

After hearing what Qin Yu said, the military officers headed by Chen Zhong spoke out one after another, and when they looked at Zhao Feikun, their eyes were full of murderous intent!

Since all the military equipment of the imperial court was obtained through cooperation with the Zhao family, the Zhao family's sky-high prices of hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels had long caused dissatisfaction among the military officers!

They didn't expect that Zhao Feikun was so greedy that he dared to ask Qin Yu for double the price. Even if Qin Yu beat him to death, he deserved it!

"This...this! This is unfair! I didn't threaten His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! No!"

Zhao Feikun's expression changed drastically.

He originally thought that with Qin Mang and the civil servants helping him, suing Qin Yu would definitely make Qin Yu pay. Who would have thought that Qin Yu's words would completely turn the situation around!

Chen Zhong is the Marquis of Flying Tiger, and those who spoke just now are all important military generals in the court. If these people want him dead, the entire Zhao family is doomed to be executed!

"Haha! Are you saying that this prince is spouting nonsense in this court and framing you?"

Qin Yu asked Zhao Feikun with a sneer.

Now, Zhao Feikun's crime is only to deceive himself, the prince. If anyone dares to say that he framed him, it would be the crime of framing the prince of an entire country. Not only will the entire Zhao family be executed, but none of the nine clans will survive!

"This... I dare not! I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Zhao Feikun quickly admitted his mistake.

He regrets it very much now. If he had known the result would be like this, he would never have gone to the palace to complain even if he was beaten to death!

"Father! My sixth brother is clearly being sharp-tongued and confusing right and wrong!"

Qin Mang gritted his teeth and said that he would never watch Qin Yu turn the situation around!

"Your Majesty! His Highness Qin Mang is right. Putting aside the question of whether the 200,000 or 3,000,000 taels of silver His Highness the Crown Prince claimed were true, even if Patriarch Zhao really did want that much, His Highness the Crown Prince could easily go to the Ministry of War to verify it and demand that the Zhao family sell their armaments at a reasonable price. Beating someone half to death is unacceptable!"

"Furthermore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince secretly recruited blacksmiths in the Crown Prince's residence to forge weapons and equipment. In this case, how can the Ministry of War regulate it? Who can know how many weapons and equipment His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has forged?"

"Your Highness, as the Crown Prince, can't you even understand such a simple truth?"

Shangguan Xiong stood up and said in a cold voice.

Qin Yu looked at Shangguan Xiong coldly. As expected, the old ones are still the wisest!

Avoid the important and take the easy!

He didn't say a word about Zhao Feikun's rebellion and deceiving himself, the prince, but instead accused him of beating people and secretly making weapons!

In this case, don’t blame me for being ruthless. The entire Zhao family will be executed!

You, the Prime Minister, will also have to pay a price!
