Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

next day!

In the mansion, everyone gathered.

Zhou Zheng sat at the top, while Gong Tan, Gu Jiang Lei Tong and others sat on both sides.

And in the center, a person stands.

This is a middle-aged man with a somewhat fat body, but his eyes appear to be quite capable.

At this time, the middle-aged man was saluting Zhou Zheng respectfully.

"Your Highness, Yin Fen is impulsive and please forgive me."

Hearing this, Gu Jiang and others' hearts tightened. Everything was just as Zhou Zheng expected. The Gu family couldn't sit still and even went on the board to apologize!

Zhou Zheng said nothing, still looking at him quietly.

"My Yin family's teachings are okay, but you are guilty."

"The patriarch asked me to present these things. I hope His Highness can give Yin Fen a chance."

The man wiped the sweat from his face and spoke with a trembling voice.

Then, several people carried the big box into the meeting hall and opened the box in front of Zhou Zheng.

Hiss, hiss! ! !

The box was all filled with white silver, neatly stacked together, amounting to at least five hundred thousand taels.

Seeing this scene, even if Gu Jiang and others were mentally prepared, they couldn't help but gasp.

Especially Gong Tan felt happy.

You know, what Xiangjun needs most now is money.

Especially since Zhou Zheng is about to carry out major reforms in the iron mines and is stretched thin, these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are really timely.

Unfortunately, while everyone was excited, Zhou Zheng closed his eyes slightly, as if he was not satisfied.

"The patriarch said that the Yin family has not managed the iron mine well in recent years, so he is willing to give up the iron mine in Pancheng to His Highness."

The man didn't expect Zhou Zheng to be indifferent and could only continue to add weights.

This made Gu Jiang and others almost unable to control their inner turmoil.

For many years, the government has wanted to get Pancheng countless times, but unfortunately there is no way, not even to buy it at a high price.

Now, under Zhou Zheng's control, not only had the silver been obtained, but the Yin family also took the initiative to send Pancheng up.

In the past, for Gu Jiang, it would have been something that would have been unthinkable.

Unfortunately, now everything has come true.

Unfortunately, Zhou Zheng remained unmoved by this seemingly huge temptation.

For a moment, the man standing below was at a loss.

An iron mine, plus five hundred thousand two hundred taels, is already a considerable expenditure for the Yin family.

Even as a member of one of the top five aristocratic families, it is not easy to take out so many things at once.

"If His Royal Highness is dissatisfied or has other requests, you can raise them."

Gritting his teeth, the man bowed deeply towards Zhou Zheng again.

These words fell on everyone's ears, and their heartbeats suddenly accelerated.

But everyone is smart. The more the Yin family is like this, the more it proves that Zhou Zheng's previous speculation is correct.

The Yin family was scared.

As for what conditions Zhou Zheng wanted, everyone present was also very curious.

"Who are you?"

However, Zhou Zheng's first words stunned everyone.

"Caomin, the elder of the Yin family, Yin Fei."

The middle-aged man was also a little surprised. He didn't know why Zhou Zheng asked such a question, but he still introduced himself again.

"Do you think you are worthy of talking to me?!"

When Zhou Zheng opened his eyes, cold light burst out.

He stared at Yin Fei with his eyes, like a tiger, with a huge sense of oppression, which made Yin Fei's legs weaken and he knelt down directly.

Is it worthy?

Just two words undoubtedly convey too much meaning.

Cold sweat broke out on Yin Fei's forehead, and his head was buried deep in the ground, not daring to lift it up at all.

He is the elder of the Yin family and holds a high position of authority.

It's a pity that in front of Zhou Zheng, he is nothing!

"I want all three iron mines."

With a serious look on his face, Zhou Zheng picked up the tea cup next to him and took a sip.

Gu Jiang and others were not surprised. After all, they had guessed it when Zhou Zheng asked Zhou Ping to take over the other two iron mines.

But Yin Fei's body swayed slightly.

He had long thought that Zhou Zheng would open his mouth like a lion, but he didn't expect that Zhou Zheng would be so direct.

Three iron mines, this is almost the largest source of income for the Yin family in Xiang County!

Once the three iron mines are lost, the status of the Yin family in the aristocratic family will undoubtedly be reduced a lot, and the interests of King Runan will even be harmed!

He wanted to refuse, but Yin Fei didn't dare to feel the cold murderous intent coming from above!

"But it's up to the prince to make the decision."

In panic, Yin Fei could only agree.

Of course, Yin Fei couldn't make the decision, but Yin Cheng had thought of it a long time ago.

The only difference is that Yin Cheng hopes that Yin Fei can make some efforts, but now Yin Fei doesn't even hesitate.

"In addition, eight million taels of silver."

Zhou Zheng put down the teacup in his hand and continued speaking in a neutral tone.

Whoohoo! ! !

This sentence made everyone gasp in disbelief and shock!

Eight million taels! ?

What a concept! ?

Even if the Yin family is one of the five great families and has been doing business for generations and has accumulated a lot, eight million taels of silver is still an astronomical figure.

In order to help Zhou Zheng, the Su family spent ten million taels of silver, which directly caused the entire Su family to decline rapidly.

And now Zhou Zheng not only took the three iron mines of the Yin family, but also asked for eight million taels!

This will undoubtedly cost the Yin family half their lives!

Even if the situation of the Yin family is still better than that of the Su family, with the help of King Runan behind them, their vitality is still severely damaged.

It will take at least decades to recover!

After all, the loss of these real money may have a fatal impact on the entire Yin family's voice.

"Prince, too, too much..."

Upon hearing this number, Yin Fei was frightened to death.

Shivering, he raised his head with a look of panic and trembling.

"too much?!"

"You mean, you can't make the decision?!"

His brows were furrowed, and there was already a hint of impatience in Zhou Zheng's eyes.

"Can't make the decision..."

Yin Fei smiled bitterly. With such a big number, who else but Yin Cheng could make the final decision? ?

If Yin Fei agrees, he will die if he goes back!

Besides, even if he agreed, the Yin family would probably not recognize him.

Gu Jiang, Gong Tan and others were not surprised by Yin Fei's answer.

In their view, this is a typical example of asking for an exorbitant price and then paying back the money.

Five hundred thousand silver must be the Yin family's bottom line. Gu Jiang has even begun to guess in his heart, is Zhou Zheng's psychological price one million or 1.5 million? !

"Can't make the decision!?"

"You can't make the decision, are you wasting your labor time!?"

However, Zhou Zheng did not negotiate the price as everyone expected, but became furious.

He slammed the teacup in his hand onto Yin Fei's head.

bang bang bang!

The huge force caused the tea cup to burst instantly!

There is blood flowing from the wound!

But Yin Fei didn't dare to suppress the wail caused by pain, so he could only endure it.

"Go back and tell Yin Cheng that I don't have that much patience!"

"Seven days!"

"Within seven days, I will see ten million taels of silver!"

"Otherwise, the Yin family, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"
