We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

Hearing Li Che's words, Qin Sheng almost fell off his horse.

This thief's mouth is really unforgiving. Not only did he sell Wang Bingyi as a slave in public.

The head of the Wang family, the current head of a thousand-year-old family, is only worth a copper coin?

This kind of humiliation is truly heart-wrenching. What hatred or grudge could have led to this?!

At this time, Wang Bingyi looked ashen and could no longer speak.

He knew that even if he didn't die at Li Che's hands today, he would not be able to sit on the position of the head of the family.

The Wang family is a thousand-year-old family. How could they allow the head of the family to suffer such a great humiliation?

"Is it not possible?" Li Che still had a smile on his face, "Sir, we are a small business, we really can't lower the price any lower."

Phew——

When Wang Sanchun, who was standing next to him, heard this, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Heart Road:

Since we followed His Highness, have we ever done any small business?

It has always been a business with no capital!

Qin Sheng's face was grim. "Wait a minute! Release Patriarch Wang first. We can discuss the ransom."

"No, since you are not sincere in your offer, this 'goods' will be wasted."

Li Che raised the sword in his hand.

"I don't have any extra food for this pig. If Lord Qin doesn't want to, then let him die!"

After saying that, he didn't even pause, and thrust his sword straight out without the slightest hesitation.

"Wait!" Qin Sheng shouted.

Li Che turned his wrist and the tip of the sword stopped just in front of Wang Bingyi's chest. If it moved forward half an inch, it would have pierced his flesh.

"I'll buy it for a copper coin. Don't kill him!"

A drop of sweat fell from Qin Sheng's forehead.

In the current situation, Wang Bingyi’s face is no longer a concern.

If the head of the Wang family died here, his career as a county magistrate would be over.

puff--

Hearing Qin Sheng's words, Wang Bingyi felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Qin Sheng...you..."

Qin Sheng didn't even look at him. He took out a copper coin from his pocket and threw it at Li Che.

"Here are the coins, release them immediately!"

Li Che raised his hand to catch the copper coin, played with it in his hand for a while, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your patronage."

"Aqiang, give the goods to them."

Hu Qiang nodded and swung his arm to throw Wang Bingyi out.

Qin Sheng was so frightened that he kept screaming, "Slow down, slow down, I want a living person!"

Li Che patted Hu Qiang's hard biceps: "Just put it on the ground and let them take it themselves."

Hu Qiang nodded and threw Wang Bingyi away as if he were throwing away a piece of tattered clothing.

Wang Bingyi rolled on the ground several times like a dead dog.

"Quickly invite Patriarch Wang over." Qin Sheng quickly ordered his attendants.

Several soldiers moved upon hearing the order. Li Che waved his hand to signal his personal guards to make way, and then they carried the dying Wang Bingyi out.

Qin Sheng dismounted immediately to check on Wang Bingyi's condition.

He was covered in filth, his skin was purple and blue, and his two leg bones were completely broken. He looked like a disabled person.

Qin Sheng raised his head, his eyes gleaming coldly at Li Che: "Catch him for me!"

The surrounding soldiers and yamen runners drew their swords, and a cold light flashed, surrounding Li Che and others tightly.

Due to the long delay, the guards patrolling the city heard the noise and rushed over, hundreds of people crowded the streets.

Wang Sanchun and other criminals remained unafraid. Even though they were outnumbered, there was no fear in their eyes.

"That's right." Wang Sanchun laughed loudly, his voice shaking the whole area. "Come on, come on, let me bleed you little brats!"

Ever since they followed His Highness, the criminals have been taking advantage of the situation, either kidnapping old men or bullying servants.

They all come from the suicide squad, are battle-hardened desperadoes, and are born to fight bloody battles!

"The deal has just been concluded, and the county magistrate is going to go back on his word?" Li Che asked.

"You lunatics, when did I ever have any dealings with you?" Qin Sheng said righteously. "Gathering a crowd and committing violence in the street, where do you place the laws of Daqing?"

Li Che smiled upon hearing this and asked, "Why didn't you mention Daqing law when the Wang family was trafficking people?"

"Whether the Wang family has violated the law is for the imperial court to decide." Qin Sheng bowed in the direction of the capital. "However, your crime of committing violence in the street is a foregone conclusion. Your crime is unforgivable!"

After that, he drew his sword and pointed it at Li Che: "Why don't you surrender now? When will you?!"

Li Che was unmoved and simply asked, "What if I say no?"

Qin Sheng said grimly, "In the current situation, I am strong and you are weak. If you don't surrender, I will kill you on the spot!"

Li Che laughed out loud: "I see, what you mean is that might is right, and what the strong say is the law of Daqing?!"

Qin Sheng snorted coldly, without replying or denying.

"In that case." Li Che's mouth curled up slightly, "Look again, who is stronger now, you or me?"

As soon as the words fell, a large group of people emerged from the pedestrian entrance behind Li Che.

I saw a group of haggard and ragged slaves, holding wooden sticks and farm tools, staggering to stand behind Li Che.

The slaves were so weak that they could hardly stand, but their eyes were fixed on the officers and soldiers as if they wanted to devour them.

Hundreds of slaves filled the streets, and the officers and soldiers' numerical advantage was instantly wiped out.

In the crowd, Chang Ningxue silently drew out the rapier in her hand, eager to try.

Seeing this, the subordinate beside her hurriedly grabbed her hand and whispered, "Miss, you must not do this! Assassinating the Sixth Prince in broad daylight will bring disaster to the Chang family!"

Chang Ningxue frowned and looked at her: "Who said I was going to assassinate Li Che?"

"Miss, what are you doing..."

"That bastard official deserves to die! The Wang family deserves to die too!" Chang Ningxue gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "When Li Che starts fighting with them, I'll rush out and stab him a few times!"

Subordinates: . . .

Seeing more and more slaves gathering around them, the officers and soldiers became frightened and retreated involuntarily.

Qin Sheng saw that the situation was not good and quickly shouted, "Don't panic! They are just a bunch of weak slaves. They are unarmed and will collapse if they are touched!"

After hearing Qin Sheng's words, the officers and soldiers did not regain their confidence, but retreated even faster.

Although they are slaves, isn't this too many people?

How many sins had the Wang family committed over the years, and how many people had they trafficked to accumulate such a large number of slaves?

Qin Sheng saw that his own morale was low, and was about to offer huge benefits to stabilize the situation.

But then I saw a rider coming from the corner of the street.

Before anyone arrived, a voice arrived: "Report! Sir, there is an army approaching outside the south city gate!"

Qin Sheng quickly asked, "What's the banner?"

"I only managed to see a royal flag with the words 'Ninggu' written on it!"

"Ninggu? The Sixth Prince?" Qin Sheng was stunned at first, then burst into laughter with ecstasy, "God help me! Hahahaha, it must be the Sixth Prince's enfeoffment team that has arrived!"

He pointed in the direction of the city gate and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Go quickly to the gate to welcome the Sixth Prince. Tell him that I am waiting here and invite him into the city to wipe out this group of traitors!"
