Chapter 235: It turned out to be an embarrassment
But no matter how much Lord Liu shouted at those people, he didn't listen to what he said at all.
Originally, the momentum revealed by Zhou Yang was enough to prove that he was definitely not an ordinary person, but these people did not expect that Zhou Yang would be the emperor's son.
You must know that people like this don't exist at all on weekdays.
Not to mention seeing them, even if it's about them, they all exist in legends, after all, they are the emperor's sons, and there are only a few people in the world whose identities are extremely precious.
Normally, it is extremely difficult for them ordinary people to even meet the officials in this city, but now they didn't expect that a prince would appear in front of them.
"Lord Liu has arrested this palace in the prison, and he is going to behead him, and now this palace wants to ask who you are who wants to rebel."
Zhou Yang was holding the long knife in his hand, and there were still a few drops of blood hanging on the blade, which were dripping to the ground with a click.
Looking at Zhou Yang's murderous and awe-inspiring appearance, Lord Liu's arrogant momentum just now disappeared without a trace in an instant.
He could see that no matter whether Zhou Yang was the prince or not, these people were also determined to follow Zhou Yang to clean them up.
And the officers and soldiers next to them didn't dare to approach any more at all, because they found that Zhou Yang had already killed an official.
If they are in a bad mood when they get close to Zhou Yang and slaughter all the officials present, then they who are soldiers will be buried together.
Lord Liu was now completely desperate, he knelt on the ground with trembling legs, struggling to kowtow to Zhou Yang.
"Your Highness the Seventh will spare my life, spare your life, Your Highness the Seven."
Seeing that Lord Liu was already kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, the other officials naturally did not have any courage to resist.
In an instant, they struggled to kneel in front of Zhou Yang, and some officials couldn't stand up at all when they were tied up by five flowers, but they were also lying on the ground and twisting their bodies desperately, begging Zhou Yang to spare their lives.
"Your Royal Highness, we are the second son, Zhao Huan's people, you can spare us this time in the face of the second son."
Now Lord Liu is still counting on being able to rely on Zhao Huan's face to let Zhou Yang spare him once, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yang would feel angry when he heard the word Zhao Huan now.
This cousin can be described as a bastard, sending such a group of bastards to be responsible for governing the copper city.
And some time ago, Zhao Huan himself sent private soldiers to slaughter the people without authorization, and he hasn't let it go, so he has found a chance to deal with Zhao Huan and let him suffer hard.
Now these officials are even moving Zhao Huan out, wanting to suppress themselves and let themselves save their lives in Zhao Huan's face, which is simply a pipe dream.
"Oh, so you're the second cousin!"
Zhou Yang smiled, looking at Lord Liu who was kneeling on the ground, the smile on his face had a unique feeling in Lord Liu's opinion.
seems to care about Zhao Huan very much, but it seems to reveal a bit of ridicule.
However, Lord Liu nodded hurriedly and said with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Yes, Your Highness the Seventh, the younger one is the second son, Zhao Huan, is the second son's henchman, you just spare us this time in the face of the second son."
"When we came to the Copper City, the second prince also specially explained that we must cooperate with the Seventh Highness, and you will manage the Copper City well."
"After coming here, in order to ensure that Your Highness the Seventh is not short of silver in the future, we have increased the taxes to the people a little bit."
Lord Liu said with a flattering face.
Especially when he said the last sentence, his voice was raised intentionally or unintentionally, so that the people around him could hear it clearly.
In an instant, the onlookers were a little shaken, and they looked at Zhou Yang with strange eyes.
Feeling the subtle changes around him, Zhou Yang instantly understood what this Lord Liu meant just now.
He intentionally or unintentionally said that these donations and miscellaneous things were all for the purpose of increasing, just to get more money from the people for himself to use.
Wouldn't this put the black pot of increasing taxes and disposing of the people on their heads, and they could get away with it?
Feeling the subtle changes in the people around him, although Lord Liu knelt on the ground, a slight smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
This is exactly his plan, if Zhou Yang can see it and spare his life in Zhao Huan's face, it would be okay to say.
In case Zhou Yang insisted on dealing with him, then he would shout loudly and throw all the black cauldrons on Zhou Yang's head.
Anyway, now the anger in the hearts of these people has been provoked by Zhou Yang.
As long as there is a place to vent, these people don't care who the person opposite them is, so the contradiction must be led between the people and Zhou Yang.
If they had made a mess first, the officers and soldiers around would have taken the opportunity to come and rescue themselves.
Lord Liu was thinking about his little abacus in his heart, and he felt that the situation was slowly returning to his control.
Of course, Zhou Yang also knew Lord Liu's plan.
But he wasn't in a hurry at all, just said lightly.
"I didn't expect you to have such a great filial piety, if that's the case, then I'm not welcome."
"Presumably you have accumulated a lot of silver during this time, come on, report me a number, and see if this bit of silver is enough for your life!"
Hearing Zhou Yang say this, Lord Liu suddenly felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
He didn't expect Zhou Yang to be so straightforward.
When he opened his mouth, he asked himself for silver, and as long as he gave enough money, it seemed that his life could be saved.
Lord Liu's eyes rolled, and then he stammered.
"Back... Return... If you go back to the Seventh Highness, the little one has been in this copper city for a total of a month, and now he has accumulated 100,000 taels of silver. ”
"If His Royal Highness the Seventh is willing, I know that I will send someone to your Highness tonight to send it over."
Hearing Lord Liu say this amount, Zhou Yang couldn't help but think in his heart that he didn't expect these guys to be so ruthless.
In just one month, 100,000 taels of silver can be scraped out of here.
The people around listened to the conversation between Lord Liu and Zhou Yang, and their faces were all full of anger.
Especially when they looked at Zhou Yang, they were even more angry.
Just now, I thought that His Royal Highness the prince was here to make decisions for them, but I didn't expect to be in cahoots with these dog officials.
