Chapter 492
"You two families joined forces to sell iron ore to the Xiongnu, which is aiding the enemy! Moreover, for the high profits, you sold all the grain to the Xiongnu, causing food prices in the city to skyrocket and thousands of people to starve to death!"
This!
After hearing what Qin Yu said, the two Zhang family heads turned pale!
As businessmen, they naturally do whatever business has the highest profit. Moreover, they are extremely secretive about the iron ore and grain business. How did Qin Yu know about it?
However, what they didn't know was that Qin Yu didn't know, but he knew very well that none of the noble families in Nanli City were clean, and they were all in collusion with the Huns to some extent!
He said in a deep voice: "The Zhang family has committed crimes, and all nine clans should be killed. This prince is merciful and will only kill those who are here! Huang Qiuhu, kill!"
Following Qin Yu's order, Huang Qiuhu immediately led his men to attack, and nearly a thousand people from the Zhang family were killed!
The remaining merchants and aristocratic families were all terrified and kept backing away.
"Do any of you still want to discuss Daliang's laws with this prince?"
"Lu Tianhu's son broke into a private house and forcibly abducted a woman. He deserves to die! Is it wrong for me, the prince, to kill him?"
Qin Yu said coldly.
“That’s…right!”
"Your Highness! We were wrong!"
The merchants and wealthy families were all so frightened that their faces turned pale!
They thought Qin Yu would be afraid of them, but who knew that Qin Yu was not afraid at all and even dared to kill in public!
"Since you know you're wrong, get out of here!"
Qin Yu said coldly.
The merchants and the powerful families all retreated in fear. At this time, Lu Tianhu sneered and said, "Haha! Let's see who dares to retreat!"
Ah!
The merchants and wealthy families were about to retreat, but when they heard Lu Tianhu's voice, they stopped.
"Your Highness! You read out the charges in front of so many people today, but without producing any evidence, you killed so many people. Does this comply with the laws of Daliang?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince has killed so many innocent people today. This is a capital crime. I have decided to risk being beheaded by His Majesty and execute the Crown Prince!"
Lu Tianhu said coldly.
"Kill the prince!"
The soldiers all shouted.
Since the day they joined the army, these people have been indoctrinated with the idea of being loyal to Shangguan Xiong, and Lu Tianhu killed Qin Yu for Shangguan Xiong, so they naturally fully support him.
"Yes! We are many in number, so what are we afraid of?"
"Kill the prince!"
All the merchants and powerful families shouted.
Lu Tianhu's eyes were full of cunning. He just watched Qin Yu kill people on purpose without taking action, just to prove Qin Yu's crime of killing innocent people!
Only in this way, after killing Qin Yu, he could submit a letter of apology and state Qin Yu's crimes. With Shangguan Xiong speaking for him, Emperor Liang would not kill him easily!
As long as he waits for another prince to be appointed as the crown prince and the disturbance subsides, he will still be the general of Nanli City!
Moreover, Shangguan Xiong will respect him even more because of his great achievements!
In the future, when the prince supported by Shangguan Xiong ascends the throne, he may even be granted a title of nobility!
Qin Yu sneered and said, "Haha! You guys, you don't even know that you're being used as a pawn by Lu Tianhu!"
"Just now, this prince killed so many people. Lu Tianhu could have saved them but didn't. If we start a fight, you will definitely be his cannon fodder!"
"So, I advise you all to stay away. After all, if anything happens to this prince, Lu Tianhu will definitely put the blame on you. Then, not only will you die, but your entire family will also be in trouble!"
