It was only three words, but the tone made people feel vaguely creepy.
Because there seemed to be overwhelming anger in that tone, but it was hidden but not expressed.
This kid...
The third uncle's expression changed slightly, he bent down and raised the candlestick in his hand next to Zhao Hongrun's head.
With the help of the light of the candle, the third uncle finally saw Zhao Hongrun's bloodshot eyes, filled with seemingly endless anger.
At the same time, my uncle also saw Zhao Hongrun's face and eyes. His heart skipped a beat and he secretly thought something bad.
Because he realized that Zhao Hongrun persisted in this meditation room for seventeen days, not because his mind gradually calmed down or anything else, but because this young royal family member had been enduring and enduring.
If, after staying in the meditation room for a full seventeen days, Zhao Hongrun understood what it means to be as still as still in the state of mind, then his brother-in-law would praise him for his outstanding talent.
But it is a pity that Zhao Hongrun has not made any progress in cultivating his moral character.
Logically speaking, people who are unable to achieve a calm mind cannot endure such an almost torturous environment in the meditation room. Otherwise, why would the children of the royal family who had committed crimes in the past be as afraid of the clan as tigers?
However, Zhao Hongrun, who had not learned anything about self-cultivation, endured it for seventeen days.
What a terrifying willpower!
You know it's even harder!
Moreover, it makes people feel even more horrified!
...Your Majesty the Eighth Prince, when did your aura become so... so overwhelming? And... murderous.
Looking at Zhao Hongrun, Li Zheng's expression changed slightly.
For a moment, even he felt a chill running down his spine.
Because he felt that His Highness King Su in front of him was like a hungry beast that had been imprisoned for a long time. Once he broke out of Chu's cage, he would definitely hurt someone.
While Li Zheng was secretly surprised, the third uncle also had a look of horror in his eyes.
Because the way Zhao Hongrun glanced at him seemed to be filled with deep hatred.
Different from the look in his eyes when he scolded him as an old man half a month ago, the look in the eyes of the young man in front of him was normal at that time, without any hatred or anything else. However, today, there is hatred mixed with killing intent in his eyes.
Yes, murderous intent!
The kind of murderous intention that hates people to the extreme and wants to cut them into pieces!
This kid... is so stubborn?
In fact, this kid couldn't hold on anymore, right? But he actually... actually persisted.
This stubbornness is so... so terrible!
The three uncles were thinking a lot in their hearts.
There is some drumming in their hearts.
They were a little hesitant as to whether they should let the child go.
Because the boy's eyes clearly revealed a message: he is bound to take revenge.
It's like a ferocious beast that will hurt people when it comes out of its cage.
It seems that today is not a good time to discuss...
Looking at Zhao Hongrun's face and eyes, his uncle secretly muttered to himself and then said calmly: "Commander Li Zheng, I see that His Highness Prince Su is not looking well, so why don't you take him back to Prince Su's Mansion first."
After hearing this, the third uncle's eyes lit up and he nodded secretly.
Also, if Zhao Hongrun is so full of anger and murderous intent right now, what outcome can be negotiated?
It's better to let him go back to Prince Su's Mansion first and calm down in a few days before talking about it.
After all, the third uncle also realized that it was not so easy to make the junior in front of him change his mind.
However, just when Li Zheng was about to nod in agreement because he was worried about Zhao Hongrun's situation, he suddenly saw Zhao Hongrun glance at his uncle and said calmly: "Uncle, I didn't give Hongrun any trouble in the past few days.
, Hongrun still respects you quite a lot, and I hope that you, my uncle, will not get involved in this matter."
Such a keen boy...
The younger uncle smiled bitterly, because he knew that Zhao Hongrun would see through his intentions at a glance.
Indeed, Zhao Hongrun saw through his uncle's intention of letting him go back to Prince Su's Mansion at a glance, so he warned him, because he had guessed that his uncle wanted to use this to reduce his anger at the moment, and Zhao Hongrun himself thought that once he
After returning to Prince Su's Mansion, the anger in my heart will indeed gradually subside.
That's not what he wants.
I'm afraid no one will know clearly that Zhao Hongrun actually got away with it this time.
Because he had been locked in a meditation room several times, Zhao Hongrun was optimistic that he could persist for a long time.
But in fact, on the tenth day, he was almost going crazy. It was only his tenacity and his revengeful mentality after the king left that supported him and allowed him to persist to this day.
.
Therefore, he will never let the anger in his heart simply subside. Otherwise, how can he cope with the psychological torture he has suffered these days?
Since it is the path you have chosen, you have to persevere even if you grit your teeth!
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun looked at his third uncle arrogantly and said coldly: "There is nothing to discuss. My answer is still... no!"
Under Li Zheng's astonished eyes, Third Uncle, the previous Lord Zong Zheng of the clan, was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed his finger at Zhao Hongrun and said with an angry smile: "Okay! Okay! I have lived a long life, and I have never
I have met an arrogant junior like you... Do you think you ordered the Metallurgical Bureau to stop work and jointly submitted a report with the Ministry of War, Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Household Affairs to coerce the clan government, and the clan government really has nothing to do?"
Smelting Bureau to suspend operations?
Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly and sneered: "Old guy, are you confused? When will I order the Smelting Bureau to stop work?"
Under Li Zheng's horrified eyes, the third uncle was about to have a seizure. The younger uncle quickly advised him: "Third brother, please be patient. Hongrun has been staying in the clan house these days without leaving home. How can he instruct Ye?"
Creating a situation?"
"Even if it's not him, then it must be his person!" The third uncle scolded angrily: "Arrogant! Arrogant! You dare to use the imperial court to coerce the clan, which is unprecedented!"
"..." Zhao Hongrun frowned and looked at his third uncle and younger uncle. He caught a glimpse of Li Zheng from the corner of his eye and asked, "General Li Zheng, what's going on?"
Seeing Zhao Hongrun asking, Li Zheng told Zhao Hongrun in detail about the news that King Su was trapped in the Zongfu and the suspension of work in the Smelting Bureau.
The latter only made Zhao Hongrun frown frequently.
It is undeniable that the Metallurgical Bureau's suspension of work was done beautifully, and the choice of excuses was hard to find fault with. However, Zhao Hongrun could not agree with it because he did not want the Metallurgical Bureau's project to be delayed because of himself.
After all, this loss was something he couldn't bear.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun said to Li Zheng: "General Li Zheng, please send someone to the Smelting Bureau later, and in my name, order him to resume work immediately! ... Furthermore, tell him that there is no such thing as my
Order that no one shall suspend the projects of the Metallurgical and Manufacturing Bureau!"
Eh?
Several people in the quiet room looked stunned.
You know, the shutdown of the Smelting Bureau seemed to be the biggest help for Zhao Hongrun to take the opportunity to get out of trouble, but Zhao Hongrun did not hesitate to throw away this help.
Because of this, Li Zheng hinted at Zhao Hongrun: "Your Highness, is this...appropriate?"
"There is nothing inappropriate." Zhao Hongrun glanced at his third uncle and said coldly: "I will not stop the Smelting and Manufacturing Bureau because of a group of despicable and shameless thugs. That is what I, the Great Wei, will fight against in the future.
*The most important department with Nanchu!"
…
The third uncle was shaking with anger, but rarely had an attack. Instead, he admired Zhao Hongrun's belief in caring about the country and the country at all times.
But despite this, those despicable and shameless remarks still filled him with anger.
So, he snorted coldly and said mockingly: "Did the Manufacturing Bureau say they have no money?"
"Nonsense!" Zhao Hongrun sneered: "In the past, I shouldered all the expenses of the Smelting Bureau. Now that you, an old guy, have been caught and brought to the clan, who else will invest money in the Smelting Bureau?... If you have the ability, you can take it.
Hundreds of millions of taels of silver come out?"
Hundreds to thousands...ten thousand?
The three uncles looked at each other.
You know, even though they were old men in charge of the clan, they had never had so much money in their pockets.
"Hongrun, the Smelting Bureau...really spends so much?" my uncle asked in shock.
Due to his uncle's inquiry, Zhao Hongrun's tone softened slightly and he explained: "Yes, and this is only the prerequisite investment. In the future, the cost of the Smelting and Manufacturing Bureau will probably be calculated in tens of thousands of taels."
Ten million taels?
My uncle said in shock: "Hongrun, are you kidding me?"
Zhao Hongrun sneered and did not defend himself. He just said lightly: "In my plan, the construction of Bolangsha River Port alone will cost one hundred thousand taels. What do you think, uncle?"
Hearing this, the three uncles were stunned, and even Li Zheng was shocked.
In the end, it was Zhao Hongrun who reminded Li Zheng: "General Li Zheng, please go to the Smelting Bureau in person. There are thousands of craftsmen in our Smelting Bureau today. Once the work stops, the losses will be huge."
"I will finally understand." Li Zheng subconsciously clasped his fists.
Perhaps because he was frightened by the numbers that Zhao Hongrun spit out, Li Zheng claimed to be the last general in front of Zhao Hongrun for the first time.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun glanced at his third uncle again and said as if suddenly: "By the way, General Li Zheng, after this old guy reminded me, I remembered that our Smelting Bureau may have to stop work due to lack of money.
, But it doesn’t matter, just ask Wang Fu to start work without any worries, I am stuck in the clan these days and have no time to raise money, the clan will bear this loss!”
Hearing this, Li Zheng looked strange, while the third uncle's eyes widened and he opened his mouth to say something.
At this moment, a hint of hatred flashed in Zhao Hongrun's eyes, and he repeated through gritted teeth: "The clan will definitely have to bear this money! Not to mention an old man who is two generations older than me, even my Ji Zhao clan
My ancestors are here, and in front of my ancestors, I will also ask the clan to pay for this money! ...If you don’t have money, you will sell things and demolish the mansion, and you can’t lose even a copper coin!”
…
Looking at Zhao Hongrun, who looked ferocious when he said these words, several people in the room were shocked, and they only felt that their scalp was in trouble.
