Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 624 Blockade and Counterattack

During Qin Ming's blockade, people from the major families also arranged messengers to find Qin Ming directly.

"Your Majesty, we are going to do business now. What does it mean that you have blocked the entire northwest trade route?"

Xu Youjia brought people here personally.

When he saw Qin Ming, he could no longer hide his anger.

But at this moment Qin Ming took out a secret letter.

He slapped it on the table.

"This is the intelligence our spies have recently uncovered. It's said that someone in the northwest is secretly meeting with the major Western Kingdoms."

Qin Ming's words made Xu Youjia and others break out in cold sweats.

They thought they had done it perfectly.

Even more than half of the gold, silver and treasures had been secretly transferred away.

But they didn't expect that Qin Ming would find out their information so quickly.

Xu Youjia originally had no hope of hiding the secret from Qin Ming.

He just wanted to hold on a little longer.

This would make it easier for his father to establish good relations with the major kingdoms in the Western Regions in advance.

By then, even if they really fall out with Qin Ming, they will have a way out.

But such a fast speed has put them in danger.

After taking a deep breath, Xu Youjia slowly said to Qin Ming:

"Your Majesty, you can investigate this matter, and we can investigate it too. We can assist each other. There is no need to block the entire northwest trade route."

"No need, the court will investigate quickly."

Qin Ming waved his hand slowly and did not agree with his proposal.

After hearing such an answer, even Xu Youjia didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Okay, everyone, please go back."

Qin Ming didn't plan to waste too much time with them.

Now most people actually already know what he wants to do.

Since both parties have come to this point, there is no need to say anything more.

On the way back, many family members looked at Xu Youjia.

"What should we do now? The imperial court is about to take action before we even move our belongings out. Do we really want them to do this? Are we just going to sit there and watch?"

"Don't worry, the people from the Western Regions will definitely protect us."

"But I heard that there have been a lot of disputes in the Western Regions recently. In particular, some of their powerful kingdoms seem to be moving closer to Daqian."

"How is that possible? The Western Region is a solid block. We've been doing business for so many years, don't you know that?"

They have different opinions.

Xu Youjia took a deep breath and slowly explained to them:

"If Qin Ming continues to force us like this, and we have no other options, we can only rebel and then fight our way to the Western Regions."

His words caused the whole place to fall silent, and no one dared to respond.

Among the surrounding dynasties, only Daqian is the most powerful.

They had firearms in their hands and were the most powerful.

Anyone who dares to go against Qin Ming and others at this time will basically have a bad ending.

"But how can we possibly fight against Daqian's army?"

"That's right, we can't win at all."

Businessmen are all driven by profit.

There was no camaraderie at all between them.

When Xu Youjia just started talking about this matter.

Many people actually began to consider the possibility of resisting Daqian.

Seeing that they were still unable to make up their minds, Xu Youjia started talking about another matter.

"Everyone, if we don't act now, once they find out something, they will most likely overthrow us. Even if they don't wipe out all the big families in the northwest, it will still cost us a lot to survive."

What Xu Youjia said touched everyone's heart.

They have already caused so much trouble, and now they are taking the lead in resisting the court's policies.

If Qin Ming did not deal with them, it would be unjustifiable both morally and logically.

That is why they want to find a way out.

But now all the ways out have been poisoned by Qin Ming.

What else can we do next?

When they thought of this, a painful expression appeared on everyone's face.

Naturally, they didn't want to fight back and ask for Qin Ming's forgiveness.

At this moment, we can only fight for our lives.

After taking a deep breath, many people immediately began to agree with Xu Youjia's statement.

"I am willing to support the Xu family, but we must remain hidden during the preparation period and must not be discovered by the court."

"I'm willing to support that, too."

……

After they reached a consensus, Xu Youjia finally nodded slowly, since it could bring them together.

Then the rest of the things will be easy.

People in the Northwest have never experienced the baptism of war.

When Qin Ming fought from the south to the north and then came to the northwest.

All the major families immediately raised their hands in surrender and were willing to submit to him.

No forces suffered any damage.

This is also the reason why they dare to challenge Qin Ming now.

In the evening, Qin Ming quickly received the news.

Liu Yueli personally left the team, found Qin Ming, and told him about the current movements of the major families.

"Your Majesty, Xu Youjia and the major families he's connected with are now dissatisfied and seem to be plotting a rebellion."

Upon hearing this, Chang Baishan and Cao Chuan next to them immediately widened their eyes.

"This is truly outrageous. How dare they rebel?"

"Your Majesty, give the order quickly. I will go and flatten them now!"

The two of them volunteered to go and kill Xu Youjia and all the other major families immediately.

But at this time, Qin Ming slowly shook his head.

There was even a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Don't pay any attention to them. They will settle down on their own in a few days."

"what?"

When these words were spoken, the other three people present were all stunned.

You know, this is a matter of treason.

But Qin Ming did not give any orders, which made them very surprised.

No, they are stationed here because they are waiting for Qin Ming's order to flatten the major families.

Now Qin Ming suddenly said that he didn't need it, which made them feel a little strange.

"Your Majesty, they are plotting a rebellion. If we don't kill them now, if they really gather together, people will probably suffer a lot."

Cao Chuan hurriedly advised, unable to hide the anxiety on his face.

"They will stop on their own. The Western Region will be in turmoil in the next few days, and all the silver they sent will disappear. Guess who will pocket it?"

"What……?"

I heard such important news.

Whether it was Liu Yueli or Cao Chuan, they all gasped.

Chang Baishan slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered the secret report he received from the court a few days ago.

"You said you wanted Prime Minister Chen to make preparations, but you actually meant to directly instigate the Western Regions?"

Qin Ming did not hide it, and nodded slowly and said:

"The reason why the major families in the northwest can act so recklessly is because they have the support of powerful forces behind them. But what if these people can't even take care of themselves?"
