Faced with Ying Qian's murderous question, the officials who were still jumping around were stunned and lost their voices.
More importantly, even Qi Liang was speechless when faced with Ying Qian's words.
Indeed, Ying Qian's act of killing Wu Jie was completely in line with the Qin law. There was nothing wrong with it.
As for Ying Qian publicly killing people in the Qilin Palace?
Which law of Qin states that one cannot kill in Qilin Palace?
It was just that he could not offend the king.
However, it was obvious that Ying Zheng did not feel that he had been offended by Ying Qian, so how could they use this matter to pursue Ying Qian's crime?
Wang Jian and the other officials looked at Ying Qian with admiration.
This kind of courage was worthy of the title of Great Qin's Third Young Master!
"I thought Third Young Master killed well!" Duke Huan shouted excitedly.”
"This kind of person who disobeys the ruler should be killed by everyone!”
"If Wu Jie dares to pass on a false imperial edict today, will he dare to rebel tomorrow?”
"If we don't kill these people, how can we rectify the law? How can we maintain the dignity of the royal family?"
"In terms of emotion and law, these people should be beheaded!”
Qi Liang and the others couldn't help but look at Lu Buwei.
If there was still a chance to turn this situation around, it would be Lu Buwei!
However, Lu Buwei's eyes seemed to be attracted by the patterns on the pillars in the hall, and he didn't say anything.
What a joke!
Wu Jie was the most powerful henchman under Lao Ai's command. Now that he had been killed in the court, Lu Buwei could not be happier. Why would he stand up for Lao Ai?
Seeing that no one dared to refute, Ying Qian pierced Wu Jie's head with his sword and threw him at Meng Tian.
"The Military Law states that the head of the beheading array needs to be exposed to the sun for three days to prove his achievements.”
"May I trouble Vice Minister Meng to hang the head of this thief outside the city gate of Xianyang City so that the common people can bear witness to this young master's military achievements.”
Wang Jian could not help but laugh when he heard that.
How could this law be explained in this way?
But it seemed like…
There didn't seem to be anything wrong with it?
Meng Tian held back her laughter, lifted her head, bowed, and cupped her hands.""Understood!"
Seeing this, Ying Zheng could not help but smile, and said gently,""Since that's the case, this matter is settled.”
"Oh right, what did Zhongfu want to say just now?”
Lu Buwei felt as if ten thousand f * cking horses were galloping across his heart.
What did he want to say?
Wasn't he going to comply with Lady Zhao's wishes and help Lao Ai ask for Yongdu as his fief?
Lu Buwei had mentioned this twice, but he was interrupted twice and couldn't say it out loud!
Now that Lao Ai had just lost Lang Meng County and other fiefs, he was going to help Lao Ai take Yong Du as his fief?
How would the world view him?
Swallowing a mouthful of blood, Lu Buwei said hoarsely,""Your Majesty, this matter is insignificant.”
"The disaster is the most important thing now. There's no need to delay time over such trivial matters.”
Ying Zheng gave Lu Buwei a confused look, then walked back to the platform and sat down, speaking in a clear voice.
"I have already explained how to deal with this Yellow River breach.”
"Do you still have any doubts?”
Wang Wan and the other courtiers immediately cupped their hands.”
In today's meeting, Ying Zheng's side had won completely, which had earned him a great deal of trust.
In addition, Ying Zheng was the rightful King of Qin, so many courtiers made their own choices.
Lu Buwei's eyes turned cold when he heard the promise echoing in the hall.
Lu Buwei was not moved by Wu Jie's death, but the words of the court officials pierced through his heart like a dagger.
His Majesty actually had such a reputation in the court?
The court meeting continued, but it became Ying Zheng's personal show.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the few knights avoided the eyes and ears and rode their fast horses towards Yongdu.
……
Three days later.
Yongdu City, Qinian Palace.
Lady Zhao was lying on the soft couch, looking at Lao Ai who was sitting beside her with tender eyes.
Even though Lady Zhao's skin was already loose, and she could be a grandmother in this day and age, Lao Ai's skin was fair and clean, and he would definitely be a top-notch young hunk in the future.
However, Lao Ai paid no attention to the wrinkles on her face. With a gentle smile on his face, he gently rubbed the woman's shoulder.
Not far from the two of them, there were several healthy women and palace maids taking care of the two babies.
As the atmosphere thickened, Zhao Ji suddenly chuckled.""Marquis Changxin, it's late at night, time to rest.”
Lao Ai subconsciously glanced at the bright sun outside the window, feeling a little bitter in his heart.
No wonder Lu Buwei wanted to give her to Lady Zhao.
This job would shorten one's lifespan!
Fortunately, the rewards for this job were high enough.
This was the real deal!
For the sake of the country, it was worth it to sacrifice some of his life.
Glancing at the two babies beside him, Lao Ai gave them a doting smile and said,""I'll listen to you."
As soon as Lao Ai finished his words, a loud shout came from outside the door.
"Empress Dowager, a secret letter from Xianyang has arrived!”
A eunuch pushed open the door and entered. He bowed and cupped his hands.
"The Yellow River burst its banks in Langmeng County. Third Young Master Ying Qian has escorted the victims to Xianyang City.”
"At that time, His Majesty was holding a court meeting, and the victims directly complained about the officials of Lang Meng County.”
"In the end, Doctor Ling Wu Jie was killed on the spot by Third Young Master Ying Qian. All the officials of Langmeng County were executed. The governor of Shuofang County and the Imperial Censor were arrested and brought to Xianyang City for punishment.”
"All the fiefs of Marquis Changxin in Shuofang County have been deposed!”
"What?!"
Lao Ai cried out in surprise, then rose to his feet in disbelief.""My fief in Shuofang County has been seized?”
"Even Wu Jie was killed?"
Even though Shuofang County was the northernmost county of Great Qin and was poor, it bordered the Xiongnu.
Smuggling goods to the Xiongnu was also a great source of income for Lao Ai.
Wu Jie was Lao Ai's most profitable subordinate, but now, one of them had been seized and the other killed?
More importantly, if Wu Jie was killed, the people under his protection would also be wiped out.
The officialdom of Shuofang Prefecture would be completely reshuffled, and it was likely that none of the officials that Lao Ai had planted would survive.
To Lao Ai, this was no different from having one of his arms broken!
