Isn’t it good for the five of us to be together?

A group of wealthy businessmen entered the palace, some made themselves miserable, and some had tears on their faces.

Ling Hengyuan watched lazily, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, as if his patience was slowly disappearing little by little.

Xiao Dezi spoke sternly: "In front of the Holy Lord, put away those colorful intestines, don't cry and cry, tell me slowly what is the reason for your troubles."

As soon as these words were said, all the wealthy businessmen said something to each other, and the whole hall was very lively.

"The mines your Majesty took away are the inheritance passed down from generation to generation by the clan. How can you just take them away, Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty! There are also jade mines left by the ancestors of the grassroots for generations!"

"Your Majesty, there are so many acres of farmland owned by Cao Min's family. The autumn harvest is coming now. How can we just take it away?"

"..."

Ling Hengyuan listened quietly and never said a word.

I saw that almost all the wealthy businessmen were wailing, and only one was relatively quiet.

There should be a family of three, and the couple's daughter was also there, but they didn't clean up badly, but neatly and elegantly.

Without thinking too much, Ling Hengyuan raised his hand to stop their attempts to continue talking.

Xiao Dezi received the hint, picked up a stack of books from the desk and started reading.

"In the early years, the north was recovered by the former general. Because the late emperor was busy with government affairs, he appointed the son of the Zhao family to manage the mines in the north for thirty years. Now the time limit has expired."

"The same goes for jade mines..."

"After verification, the hundred acres of fertile land to the west is not the land of the Li family's ancestors, nor is it the land under the Li family's name. It is actually the result of the forced occupation of farmland and the expulsion of farmers..."

"..."

Each family gave a reasonable explanation. I thought that Qin Che went out early and came back late some time ago, so he must have been busy with this matter. The speed is also very fast, so many things can be found in a short period of time. No wonder Ling Hengyuan took action so quickly. Each of these incidents is enough to counterattack and punish them. Ling Hengyuan actually had the patience to deal with them, which was really unlike his style.

By the time Xiao Dezi finished reading, everyone's expressions had already changed. Maybe they didn't know why the emperor, who was known for his tyranny, had such ability.

Come on, Ling Hengyuan is cruel, but he is not stupid or lazy.

If it were me, it might be easier to fool him.

Seeing that none of them spoke, Ling Hengyuan said, "Everyone, is there anything else you want to say?"

Everyone was silent.

Ling Hengyuan looked disdainful and snorted: "You all have no objections, so let's deal with it according to the law."

Ling Hengyuan was too lazy to spend time with them.

The people who were pulled down were either wailing or begging for mercy, but they lost the momentum they had when they came. In fact, I think that if they knew that they would just give up and not come here, maybe Ling Hengyuan would not punish them.

After a while, there was only one family left, that family of three. Even though the three of them looked scared, they still knelt upright.

Just as I was thinking about what they were going to do, the woman shocked me as soon as she spoke: "Liu Zaixi, a common man, took the Liu family's vast wealth and devoted himself to His Majesty."

I:"!"

Are you planning to dedicate all your family wealth to Ling Hengyuan?

I turned to look at Ling Hengyuan, wondering if he would accept it.

The Liu family is well-known as a wealthy businessman, and I have also heard of this little daughter of the Liu family. Everyone said that with half of the Liu family's wealth, they could support all the people in Nanyang for three years. The Liu family has only one daughter, Liu Zaixi, who is now recommending herself. Many men tried their best to marry into the Liu family, but they could not see the only daughter of the Liu family.

Ling Hengyuan seemed to have heard a huge joke, and his words revealed sarcasm: "How do you think I will include you in the harem?"

Presumably Liu Zaixi, who has been in the spotlight since childhood, has never been ridiculed like this. At this time, his eyes were a little red: "Your Majesty..."

Ling Hengyuan's words suddenly changed, and his tone suddenly became harsh: "What I hate the most is using a woman's body in exchange for anything. No matter what the purpose is, it makes me extremely sick." After saying that, he took out his long sword, His whole body was full of chilling thoughts.

Ling Hengyuan suddenly lost his temper, catching us all off guard. Xiao Dezi has knelt down and begged His Majesty to calm down.

Liu Zaixi's father quickly stepped forward and explained: "It's not what your majesty thought. My daughter has loved your majesty since she was a child. She came to the palace just to see your majesty. If you can get a favor, it will be a blessing for the Liu family, your majesty." .”

Liu Zaixi was frightened and stood there in a daze.

I didn't dare to step forward rashly, and I didn't know what point I touched that made Ling Hengyuan so furious.

Ling Hengyuan: "Humph, it's all an excuse. Do you admire me? Then just go and die."

Options appear:

"Stop Ling Hengyuan"

"Unmoved"

I immediately chose the first one.

It's too late. If we don't stop him, this whole family will die here. And now it is a sensitive moment for the new policy. If a person is killed in the palace, the response will definitely not be good.

The moment the sword rose and fell, I rushed forward. I felt something was wrong, but I couldn't react.

Oh my god, why did I push Liu Zaixi away instead of grabbing Ling Hengyuan's sword?

The consequence of pushing Liu Zaixi away was that I was struck by a sword on my back, but I could feel that the wound was not deep, but it was a little painful.

Me: Please provide more detailed options next time.

However, the man was saved, but he heard Ling Hengyuan roar: "Chen Yueji, just tell me if you want to die!"

I wanted to say something, but there was no response.

Ling Hengyuan supported me, the pain in my back became more and more profound, and I felt that I was speechless.

Seeing Ling Hengyuan's somewhat panicked expression, I said with all my strength: "Your Majesty, you can't do it now. Kill people. Be careful. You will miss the mark."

The next second, he fainted as he wished.

Please give me full marks for my acting skills, thank you.

When I was in coma, I felt someone pick me up and call Dr. Xuan again.

Fortunately, he was only injured and not cut by a sword, otherwise he would have to go back and trace again. To be honest, this sword was not as painful as Qin Che's sword.

Could it be that if you get stabbed too many times, you will become immune to pain?

"drop! Congratulations to the host for achieving the "Backstab Life" achievement medal! 』

"drop! Unlock Ling Hengyuan story fragments! 』

When I woke up, my head was a little groggy, but I felt like there were many people around me. When he opened his eyes, someone shouted in a happy tone: "Master Chen is awake! Go and tell His Majesty!"

I moved my body, but it involved my wound, and I made a sudden "hiss" sound, it hurt so much.

The person serving me in front of the bed was a palace maid whom I didn't know. When she saw that I was making some moves, she quickly stopped her: "Master Chen, be careful. The imperial doctor said that you can't make any big movements now. The wound is not healed, so just lie down." .”

After hearing what she said, I lay down peacefully, but my throat was dry. The palace maid immediately poured me a glass of water, drank it, and felt much better instantly.
