As Aunt Cong spoke, she raised her hand and hit Jin Xi in the face.

Jin Xi remained motionless and allowed her to hit him. When she was almost close, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm.

Before she could react, Jin Xi grabbed her right hand and slapped her three times from left to right.

Now, Grandma Cong's face was even scarier than Grandma Jiang's, with both sides of her face swollen very high.

Nosebleeds spurted out, and even the silk handkerchief on his hand was stained red.

When he saw that the two sides were about to fight, Li Yunxing had eaten and drank enough.

With just a look, the guards rushed in and pressed the two nuns to the ground, unable to move.

Even so, Grandma Jiang did not admit defeat.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince! You have allowed your eunuchs to do evil in the palace. If the Queen finds out about this and reports it to the Emperor, you will definitely be punished."

She shouted loudly, not caring about the injuries on her face.

"Then tell me how my eunuch bullied you." Li Yunxing asked slowly.

"If you hadn't instigated this little eunuch..."

Before she finished speaking, the father-in-law beside Li Yunxing had already said: "You are so brave, how dare you slander my master."

As soon as Li Yunxing raised his hand, Jin Xi stopped talking.

At this time, Li Yunxing said lightly.

"I would like to hear how I instigated you?"

Aunt Jiang choked and became silent.

"Why, you can't say it? Then I will answer it for you." Li Yunxing said with a smile.

"Today, while I was having dinner, King Zhaoyang broke into the East Palace with two old men. Not only did they beat up my servants, but they also yelled at the Prince's East Palace to teach the Prince a lesson."

As he spoke, he glanced at Jin Xi and the other guards who were kneeling aside: "I remember that they were the ones who made the first move?"

Jin Xi immediately fell to the ground, his forehead touching the floor: "Master, I have a clear understanding."

"Your Highness, this is all a misunderstanding. Brother, don't be angry."

After seeing things developing in an uncontrollable direction, Su Zhaoyang stood up.

He just didn't stop the two people because he was angry, so he let the two nuns vent his anger for him.

But he didn't expect that Li Yunxing would actually blame him for this matter.

"So, King Zhaoyang didn't know about it?" Li Yunxing looked at King Zhaoyang and laughed, "If that's the case, then it means that these two old women don't know whether to live or die?"

Li Yunxing's eyes were sinister, and he turned to glare at the two nuns.

"You dare to fight against me in the Prince's East Palace. Do you really think that I am sitting here just for decoration?!"

Li Yunxing suddenly jumped up and shocked everyone present.

"No...no..."

Only then did Aunt Cong feel scared.

She originally thought that Li Yunxing would betray the Queen because he had served the Queen, but she didn't expect that Li Yunxing would get angry directly.

She cannot plead guilty with Aunt Jiang, otherwise what awaits her will not be glory and wealth, but death without a burial place!

"Prince, I am guilty! Please forgive me for the queen's sake," she cried.

The two of them had runny noses and tears, but they were not as arrogant and domineering as before.

Aunt Jiang also hurriedly kowtowed and begged: "Your Highness, I know my mistake. I don't dare to do it anymore. Please spare my life..."

Li Yunxing snorted coldly, "The Queen's face? What face does the Queen have in front of me?"

If these words were said in public, Li Yunxing would be punished with a serious crime of disrespect.

Even though Queen Liu was not his biological mother, she was still the mother of a country. How dare Li Yunxing speak so freely.

But what they didn't expect was that Li Yunxing dared to say this because he had no intention of letting them live.

"Someone, drag them down and kill them with sticks."

"Brother! No, Your Highness, they are the Queen Mother's personal maids after all. What they said has offended me. Please forgive me. Why don't you hand them over to the Queen? I will definitely give the Prince a satisfactory answer!"

Su Zhaoyang stepped forward and knelt down to plead for mercy for the two nuns.

He knew that Li Yunxing had always been fierce, but he didn't expect that he would directly kill the two of them with a cane.

Unexpectedly, the prince's eyes were full of indifference, and he didn't even bother to give him a look.

The guards quickly escorted the two nuns to the courtyard.

In the horrified eyes of the two nuns, a wooden stick hit their buttocks hard.

Their painful howls spread throughout the East Palace and resounded through the night sky, making people's hair stand on end.

"Your Highness, please spare your life. I should not slander you with my nonsense!"

"Your Highness, I dare not do this anymore! Please spare me!"

Now it's too late to ask for mercy.

Li Yunxing did not speak from beginning to end, only quietly sipping tea.

The cane torture continued until the forty-ninth blow, and the two nuns finally fainted and died. Blood flowed out of their bodies and dyed their clothes and trousers red. It was horrible to see.

Su Zhaoyang kept half-kneeling on the ground, and he did not dare to look back.

I am afraid to see their sad eyes, and even more afraid that they will think that I am a coward.

It wasn't until the two nuns died that Li Yunxing looked at his cheap brother.

"You came to the East Palace because of the flood in Jingzhou?"

The words were spoken slowly, and Su Zhaoyang broke into a cold sweat.

Is it his turn now?

Su Zhaoyang didn't dare to think too much, "Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I have written down the Jingzhou pension strategy and account details in the memorial, and please His Highness the Crown Prince to read it."

He handed over the memorial respectfully.

Li Yunxing took it and looked through it carefully.

This Su Zhaoyang does have some talent and learning, and he may have Liu Zhongqing's help behind him.

The memorial is written in an orderly manner. Although it does not boast of one's merits in a large space, it still recommends oneself.

But one of them made Li Yunxing's eyes widen in an instant.

"Selling fields to offer silver? Whose idea was this?"

Li Yunxing's face changed unpredictable, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

"Yes...it belongs to my younger brother."

Nowadays, farmland is flooded and most of it cannot be planted.

Even if the land needs to be drained and cultivated, it will still take about half a year. Poor farmers rely on farmland to support themselves.

If we sow seeds again after half a year, we will not be able to harvest until this time next year at the earliest. If there is no harvest for such a long time, the famine will inevitably spread more severely.

So Su Zhaoyang thought of a way for the people, which was to sell farmland to wealthy families.

The wealthy families are well-off, and if they can afford food, they can also afford farmland. If they buy farmland, they have to hire people to cultivate it.

At that time, farmers do not need to take any risks and will only have to pay the rent according to the agreed amount.

This not only saves time and effort, but also solves the urgent needs of the people. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

In the end, Su Zhaoyang gritted his teeth and said: "My brother is not greedy for money, but I think... this can reduce the burden on the people and benefit the people."
