Before Chunyu Yue could ask, the butler said anxiously.
"My lord! The Zhao Manor has been slaughtered!"
"Zhao Cheng and Yan Le were also killed!”
"In total, there were more than a thousand people. The entire family was executed, and no one survived!”
"Especially the Zhao Manor. Blood is flowing like a river now!”
When he said this, the butler's entire body trembled slightly because this matter was too big and too terrifying.
When the people in the banquet hall heard this, they subconsciously swallowed their saliva and repeatedly confirmed it.
"Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao's entire family was slaughtered?”
One must know that Zhao Gao was also the commander of the Zhongche Prefecture, one of the nine ministers, and the most popular person in Ying Zheng's eyes!
Ying Ziyun actually killed Zhao Gao!
This was too big of a fuss!
The laws of the Qin Dynasty were strict. Without permission, officials were not allowed to kill each other.
Anyone who disobeyed this law would be regarded as treason!
This was a serious crime that would result in the death of nine generations!
Bean-sized beads of sweat were already oozing out of the butler's head."Milords, how dare this lowly one lie!”
"The countless citizens of Xianyang City saw it clearly. It was General Meng Yi who led the Qin army to slaughter the soldiers of the Zhao Manor!”
"Has there been any news of Zhao Gao's death in the palace?" Chunyu Yuecheng asked.”
"What about His Majesty? Did he say anything?”
Whether Zhao Gao was dead or alive, Chunyu Yue did not care at all. Now was the critical moment, and he only wanted to know what Ying Zheng's attitude was.
As the steward of the Chunyu Music Bureau, he had some understanding of the information. However, at this moment, he shook his head solemnly.
"Milord, there is no news from the court. His Majesty has not expressed his stance!”
After the butler said this, everyone in the banquet hall felt their hearts turn cold.
"Ying Ziyun is really audacious. He killed Zhao Gao. If my son is brought to the execution ground, wouldn't his life be in danger?”
Another noble also thought of this and hurriedly spoke to confirm with Yan Qingyuan.
"How much gold did Ying Ziyun ask for?”
"Seven million taels!"
"How long is it supposed to take?"
"Two hours!"
"Now that so much time has passed, there's probably only an hour left!”
As the noble and Yan Qingyuan exchanged questions, everyone else became anxious.
"We definitely can't waste any more time. Otherwise, someone will really die. Everyone, hurry up and gather together to redeem her!”
"Right, we have to save our lives now. Everyone, hurry up and gather money!”
……
At this moment, Ying Ziyun was in his own residence, flipping through the name list that he had found in Zhao Gao's courtyard.
"Humph, Zhao Gao, you've actually secretly roped in so many officials of the court!”
The more Ying Ziyun looked at the name list, the more murderous he felt!
In the list of people who colluded with Zhao Gao, there were actually two people who were ranked among the nine ministers!
From this, it could be seen that Zhao Gao's life was a great threat to Great Qin. It was good to kill him!
"Your Highness, General Meng Yi requests to see you!”
Ying Ziyun was slightly stunned after hearing the guard's words.
He had just separated from Meng Yi not long ago. Hmm, now that Meng Yi had come to look for him again, could something have happened again?
Otherwise, there was no need for Meng Yi to catch up to him the moment he returned!
"Agreed!"
Ying Ziyun naturally wanted to see Meng Yi.
The guards also rushed to the door of the manor to pass on the news.
"Hahaha, Young Master is really godly!”
"In less than two hours, Jixia Learning Palace has really delivered all seven million taels of gold!”
"Not only that, he even brought an extra 500,000 taels, saying that he wanted to unseal Jixia Learning Palace!”
As soon as Meng Yi entered Ying Ziyun's mansion, he couldn't suppress his ecstasy and shouted into the mansion.
However, Ying Ziyun's expression was not good because he was too regretful.
"Is it really that simple…"
Ying Ziyun was not only regretful, but he was also beginning to blame himself.
It seemed that he had underestimated the strength of those rich and powerful people. Just the sound of Shi Chen gathering seven million gold was terrifying enough.
One could imagine that it was not Great Qin that was poor, but the Imperial Court. That was all, but the nobles were all extremely rich.
From the looks of it, they had spoken too little. If they missed this opportunity, who knew when they would be able to scam Jixia Academy again?
Meng Yi, on the other hand, didn't have Ying Ziyun's huge ambition and appetite. When he saw the seven million gold taels, he was in a good mood.
"Young Master, I originally planned to kill a few Confucian scholars if they didn't gather enough when the time came!”
"After all, two hours is indeed short!”
"But I never expected that in less than two hours, they had gathered a total of 750!”
At this moment, Meng Yi looked at Ying Ziyun with admiration from the bottom of his heart.
In the past, Great Qin's Imperial Court had spent a lot of effort to gather money and food, but the results had been quite bad.
