With these two cold words, murderous intent surged forward like mercury pouring down the ground.
Qian Han's eyes widened and he took a deep breath but forgot to spit it out.
He couldn't believe that Li Chen was so courageous and wanted to kill him on the spot.
As for the Dongchang Jinyiwei, they only have eyes for the royal family and have never known ministers. In terms of their mission, ministers are their natural enemies.
After receiving Li Chen's order, the two Jinyi guards immediately drew their swords. Under the sword's light, Qian Han's screams were as shrill as a ghost's howl, and his blood exploded. He was chopped down to the ground, but his resistance and screams were replaced by What came was a more violent sword light.
In the end, Qian Han's screams weakened and his whole body was a bloody mess.
At the last moment of his consciousness, what he heard was Li Chen's voice, as cold and ruthless as the gods above the nine heavens, and extremely majestic.
"The guilty minister Qian Han, who was the envoy to the general affairs department and the history of the general administration, was a third-rank official in the dynasty. He did not realize the greatness of Huang's grace, and also forgot the teachings of the sages. He was not loyal to the country at the top and did not consider the people at the bottom. He neglected honest government and abandoned his conscience like a shield. He is so full of evil that it is difficult to write down it, and it is difficult for the people to get angry without killing him!"
"It is passed down by the Crown Prince that Qian Han has been punished on the spot. The three tribes of Dongchang Yi and others within nine generations of the same clan will be demoted to the status of slaves and will never be able to change their status."
"There is also a traitorous businessman, Hu Qian, who took advantage of the national crisis to make a fortune, causing public resentment to boil over. He refused to repent, condemned his entire family to death, and confiscated all his family property."
Qian Han's face was covered in blood, and a bone-deep wound on his forehead was still oozing blood. Qian Han's eyes widened. After hearing these two sentences, his eyes showed a gleam of regret or hatred, and he died.
What followed was the begging and crying of Hu Qian's family.
"Chen Jingchuan's family played some tricks. They were thrown into Dongchang Prison, but at least they won't die immediately. And not only did you play tricks, but you also tried to find Qian Han to fight against me. Then it will be a bloodbath."
Li Chen looked indifferently at Hu Qian, who regretted having screamed in terror, and turned around to leave with his large group of people.
He has to go to the next one and is very busy.
"Prince, Prince, please forgive me, Prince!"
Behind him, Hu Qian's screams came, but they stopped immediately, followed by the sound of a knife cutting into flesh.
At the door of Hu's house, blood flowed like a river, and the people around him turned pale with fear.
It's just that the prince killed a corrupt official. Everyone saw it. Several million taels of silver notes were found on the corrupt official, and the profiteer, like Chen Jingchuan, opened a rice store that was waiting for a price increase. I don't know how many people lost their money because of it.
Therefore, even though this scene was extremely bloody and the people were afraid, many people still cheered for the prince.
Corrupt officials deserve to be killed!
Profiteers deserve to be killed even more!
Li Chen ignored the sea of blood behind him and turned his horse's head to head towards the last Liu family. Only then did he see a young woman in plain clothes at the end of the street with more than a dozen men, women and children. Walking towards him with firm steps.
"Your Royal Highness, this is the Liu family."
Xu Changqing saw the prince's methods with his own eyes and was completely convinced.
Regardless of whether such a reckless killing was worth it or whether the prince could withstand the subsequent turmoil, but at the moment, looking at the enthusiastic eyes of the people around him, he knew that the prince had thought more deeply than everyone else.
In addition to killing people to establish authority and confiscating homes to fill the national treasury, the prince also wanted to capture the hearts and minds of the people.
Understanding these truths, Xu Changqing felt that he had no other choice anyway, and became more and more devoted to Li Chen.
At this time, he took the initiative to come to Li Chen and said: "The Liu family is quite special. The other two big grain merchants are mostly wealthy local merchants in the capital. They have been passed down for at least three generations, but the Liu family is the subordinate of the previous head of the family.
An industry that has been built little by little."
"Two years ago, the last head of the Liu family died suddenly. Since then, the Liu family has been involved in a struggle for power. But unexpectedly, it was Liu Sichun, the youngest daughter of the Liu family, who finally defeated her two brothers and won the power of the head of the family.
It's not easy for a woman to be in charge of a family, but the Liu family's business has been booming in the past two years, mostly due to Liu Sichun's ability."
When Xu Changqing introduced, Liu Sichun also led the Liu family to Li Chen's car.
"Liu Sichun, the daughter of the people, please see His Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
"The daughter of the people is willing to donate all the Liu family's property to help the court provide disaster relief and tide over the difficulties. All she wants is His Highness the Crown Prince's permission."
Liu Sichun looks extremely beautiful.
Her skin is like gelatin, her eyebrows are as dark as distant mountains, her hands are round and black and white, as bright as stars, under her tall nose, her red lips are like cherries, so delicate that people can’t help but want to taste what those soft red lips will be like.
What is the taste.
In terms of appearance and figure alone, Liu Sichun, Zhao Rui, and Zhao Qinglan are already on the same level as women, but her temperament is the most special, blending the strength and snobbery of a smart business woman, without losing an extremely refined look.
Femininity, those pure eyes, are clear in black and white, but they have absolutely nothing to do with the word innocence, as if this woman's seemingly simple thoughts can never be understood or grasped by men.
Coupled with what Xu Changqing said about Liu Sichun's experience, this woman is by no means ordinary.
Riding on the horse, Li Chen looked at Liu Sichun and said, "donating all your family property just in exchange for a promise from me? This is quite interesting, let's talk about it."
Liu Sichun knelt down and worshiped on the ground, her expression still calm, and she said: "The daughter of the people has nothing to ask for. I only ask His Highness to be kind and allow the women to be qualified to represent the salt transport in the Gyeonggi region."
As soon as Liu Sichun's words came out of his mouth, Xu Changqing's expression suddenly changed.
"Be bold!"
Xu Changqing shouted sharply: "Salt has been controlled by the government since ancient times and cannot be managed by the private sector. It is the foundation of people's livelihood and the foundation of the country. How can you, a private businesswoman, be allowed to run it?"
Liu Sichun's expression remained calm, and she said respectfully: "Mr. Xu, women of the people naturally know the importance of salt, and they also know that salt has been a monopoly of the government since ancient times. No one can smuggle and sell salt, otherwise the lighter will be sent to the army.
If it's serious, they'll kill everyone in the house."
"But what the women want is not to sell salt directly, but to buy salt from the government at a price that is 10% higher than the market price, and then raise their own freight to transport salt from other places to the Gyeonggi area without selling it.
Private, only sold to officials."
"In this way, it does not infringe on the interests of the officials and the people. On the contrary, the officials can get 10% of the profits from it, and it also eliminates the freight from various places to Gyeonggi. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
After speaking, Liu Sichun bowed deeply to Li Chen and said sincerely: "The Liu family, a daughter of the common people, has a total family property of more than 6.3 million taels, and is willing to donate it all to the imperial court."
Hearing this number, everyone around him took a deep breath.
In the current Qin Empire, even in the most prosperous capital city, the annual income of an ordinary person is only thirty taels of silver at most, but the Liu family alone has a wealth of 6.3 million taels of silver.
This does not mean that wealth can rival a country, but it is no problem to rival a city.
Li Chen looked at Liu Sichun and said calmly: "Did you know that this time I came out to murder your three major grain merchants?"
Liu Sichen gritted his silver teeth secretly and said: "The daughter of the people knows that it is precisely because of this that the women of the people are willing to give up their family wealth in exchange for temporary peace. However, the women of the people know better that if they are of no use to His Highness, they will inevitably die sooner or later, so the women of the people will die sooner or later.
I want to prove the value of the Liu family, and the Liu family is useful to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Chen was happy and laughed and said: "What a courageous person. They say that women cannot be inferior to men. With this courage and courage alone, your Liu family has defeated the Hu family and the likes of the Chen family a thousand times."
"I won't agree to you now, but today the Liu family can avoid death. I will present your plan in detail and you will submit it to the East Palace within three days. If you can impress me, the Liu family can stay. If you can't, the Liu family can stay."
It doesn't matter if we move and let the Liu family survive for three more days."
Li Chen did not kill Liu Sichun. Having traveled through time, he knew how much the power of business and economy would change society. If the Liu family was available, he would not mind helping the Liu family at all.
"Daughter of the common people, thank His Royal Highness for your grace."
Liu Sichun breathed a deep sigh of relief, fell to the ground and said.
Li Chen withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "Go back to the East Palace."
After the prince's chariot and honor guard had gone away, and the people around him were talking and talking happily and dispersed, Liu Sichun slumped down and knelt on the ground. At this time, she felt that her back was soaked.
Behind her, a member of the Liu family came forward to help Liu Sichun up, and said bitterly: "Is the accumulation of two generations of the Liu family for decades really just given away like this?"
Liu Sichun gritted his teeth and said, "Can't bear it? The Hu family and the Chen family can't bear it either. Look at their fate."
"When the prince's invitation came before, I said I had to go. It was you who insisted on going your own way and insisted on listening to Qian Han. Now that Qian Han himself has been exterminated, you know how powerful it is. If I hadn't sent spies in advance,
After inquiring about the news about their two families, I am afraid that our Liu family will also be wiped out today!"
The surrounding tribesmen looked sad.
"But we gave away all our property, so we didn't completely avoid this disaster. The prince gave us three days to transport salt at a loss. The prince may not know that we have a private salt mine.
This is also a capital crime, what should I do?"
Liu Sichun's beautiful eyes were firm, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If the imperial court finds out, we will die, but if only the prince knows, it may still be an opportunity for our Liu family. Now that the Liu family is in a certain death situation, we can only try our best to fight. The prince needs
If people stand on his side, we will put our wealth and lives on the line... and take a gamble!"
Li Chen left the East Palace for only two hours, but he killed the entire Hu family, the Chen family and Qian Han, adding up to hundreds of lives.
The subsequent impact of this incident shocked the entire capital.
By the time the matter was brought to Zhao Xuanji's attention, it was already late at night that day.
As one of Zhao Xuanji's most proud disciples and confidants, Qian Han had his whole family wiped out, which had already touched Zhao Xuanji's bottom line.
Therefore, Zhao Xuanji's eyes were terrifyingly gloomy.
