"I dare not lie to Your Majesty!"
"Yesterday, His Highness the Crown Prince found Wu Shiluo and controlled his wife and children. He ordered him to deliver 300,000 warhorses at dawn today. He promised. For the sake of the lives of his family, Wu Shiluo would not dare to go back on his word!”
Ba Qing briefly explained what had happened yesterday.
"Yes, Father!"
"Yesterday, your son brought the officials from the treasury to the Wu Residence and plundered countless treasures from the Wu Residence. A rough estimate is that the total value is about 1.3 million taels!”
Hearing her words, Fu Su's eyes lit up and he quickly came out to report.
He had never expected that his ninth brother's robbery of Wu's house yesterday was not just for his property.
It was for the warhorses!
Why didn't he think of such a brilliant plan?
"Good!"
"As expected of my son!"
"With just a few tricks, he sent me 300,000 warhorses!”
"Haha…!"
After hearing what the two of them said, Ying Zheng could not help but burst into laughter.
His son always brought him surprises!
Yesterday was horseshoes!
A small piece of iron had given him an additional 90,000 warhorses!
Today, he had forced the Wu Family to give him 300,000 good horses!
Although he hadn't seen the goods yet, with the Wu family in his hands, that old thing shouldn't disobey!
"Your Majesty, we will go outside the city to receive the warhorses!”
Meng Yi, Wang Ben, and Zhang Han shouted out in excitement.
"Good!"
"I will go with you, haha…!”
Ying Zheng, who was in a good mood, left the palace and led his ministers outside the city.
After everyone left, Ba Qing heaved a sigh of relief.
The Crown Prince wasn't in the residence, and she was even asked to deliver the order. If she had the heart, she could guess with a little analysis that the Crown Prince was with her last night!
Fortunately, the Emperor and the ministers were too happy to notice this!
……
"Where are the warhorses? Why hasn't it been delivered yet?"
Outside the city, everyone looked up, but there was still no sign of a warhorse.
Wang Wan, who was a little impatient, asked Ba Qing.
"Could it be that this Wu abandoned his wife and children and fled?”
Ying Zheng, who had been so excited just now, could not help but frown at this moment.
"Rumble…!"
However, just as he finished speaking, a large black dot appeared at the end of the sky.
At the same time, the earth rumbled as if there was an earthquake!
As the black dot approached, the sound became louder and louder!
Not long after, Wu Shiluo brought hundreds of people and a dense number of warhorses.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Wuuuu…!"
Seeing the First Emperor Ying Zheng, Wu Shiluo quickly dismounted from his horse to pay his respects, and then started crying without any warning.
"You…why are you crying?"
The First Emperor was baffled by him. He didn't know what he was doing.
"Your Majesty, I don't have anything else to say, but I feel a sense of familiarity when I see Your Majesty!”
"That's why I can't help but cry!”
Wu Shiluo said as he wiped his tears.
In the past, rumors had it that the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, was a tyrant.
At that time, he thought so too!
They felt that Ying Zheng was indeed a tyrant who recruited the people to build the Great Wall and Epang Palace!
However, ever since he saw the Crown Prince yesterday, he realized that he was a tyrant!
This was clearly a benevolent and kind ruler!
Therefore, what he said just now was right. Seeing Ying Zheng was as intimate as seeing his family. In his excitement, he could not help but burst into tears.
"I see…"
Seeing the sincerity in his words, Ying Zheng didn't think too much about it. He glanced at Meng Yi, Wang Ben, and Zhang Han behind him, and issued an order," Come on, take the warhorses and bring them back. After they are horned, send them to the North of the Desert as soon as possible!”
"We have received the decree!"
Meng Yi and the other two cupped their hands excitedly as they received the decree. Then, they led tens of thousands of soldiers to begin counting and receiving.
"You sent 300,000 horses this time. It can be said to be sending charcoal in the snow!”
"You've helped Us and Great Qin greatly!”
"How about this, zhen won't mistreat you. Zhen will buy these warhorses at market price!”
"What do you think?"
Looking at the fat and strong horses, Ying Zheng's heart was already blooming with joy.
Once he was happy, he decided to buy it with money.
It wasn't that he didn't know how expensive the rice was, but that he was worried that if his son used such methods, no one would dare to transport warhorses to Great Qin anymore.
As such, in order to calm people down and ensure that Great Qin could continue to buy warhorses, he had offered to buy them.
"No, no, no…!"
"You mustn't!"
"You can't do that!"
However, to his surprise, he had good intentions, but this Wu Shiluo looked as if he had seen a ghost and waved his hands repeatedly with a terrified expression!
His head was like a pig's head, and he was shaking it like a rattle drum!
"300,000 is not a small number!”
"How can I let you suffer!"
"How about this? After the handover, you can go to the treasury to get the money!”
In order to buy more warhorses in the future, Ying Zheng insisted on paying according to the market price.
"It's my honor to be able to help Your Majesty!”
"Now that the Xiongnu have invaded the south, protecting the country is the responsibility of the commoners. It is only natural to gift some warhorses!”
"The country is in danger. How dare this commoner make such an ill-gotten gain!”
"This commoner insists on not accepting this horse money!”
Wu Shi patted her chest and said passionately.
However, although he looked generous on the surface, he was secretly bleeding in his heart!
What ill-gotten gains!
Protect the country!
It was all his performance lines!
How could he not want this horse money!
However, if he asked for this money, it would be strange if the Crown Prince would let him off!
Therefore, when Ying Zheng gave him money, he would never accept it!
"We know that you are loyal and your heart is set on Great Qin!”
"But you have to accept the money for this warhorse!”
"Otherwise, wouldn't I be taking it by force?”
"Zhen has made up his mind. It's decided. Later, you go to the treasury to collect the horse money according to the market price!”
Ying Zheng's face turned solemn as he said in a commanding tone.
If they didn't pay for the warhorses, who would dare to sell them to the Imperial Court?
"Putong!"
However, what made him dumbstruck was that as soon as he finished speaking, Wu Shiluo's knees went soft and he directly knelt on the ground!
"You can't do that!"
"This commoner must not accept this horse money!”
"Your Majesty, please retract your order!"
Wu Shiluo was on the verge of tears. He kept kowtowing and bowing, begging Ying Zheng to take back his order!
He had no choice!
If the Crown Prince knew that he had taken the money, it would be strange if he did not skin him alive!
He had spoken so righteously just now, just to show off in front of Ying Zheng.
Who would have thought that this old fellow would take it seriously and actually force him to collect money in the form of a decree!
Wasn't this killing him?
