"Haha! How dare the emperor break the law and be punished just like the common people! Since everyone here is so law-abiding, I, the Crown Prince, will have a good time with you today!"
Qin Yu walked over with a sneer.
"Yes! It's the prince!"
When the merchants and wealthy families saw Qin Yu, their momentum immediately weakened!
After all, Qin Yu is the crown prince of Daliang and the emperor's son. No matter how arrogant they are, they still have to be a little wary of him!
"Your Highness! How are you going to deal with us?"
"That's right! What's the matter? You sent someone to kill General Lu Tianhu's son. This is an indisputable fact. Even if you say it to the sky, you have to give us an explanation!"
"Your Highness! If you don't give us an explanation, we will never give up!"
The merchants and noble families all spoke in a cold voice.
Lu Tianhu said with a smug look on his face, "Your Highness! As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world! These are the people's wishes. If you don't give them an explanation, it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in the southern border in the future!"
"Alright! This prince will show you what it means to obey the law!"
Qin Yu said coldly.
Then he waved to Chen Zhao in the distance, and Chen Zhao immediately came forward with a booklet.
This booklet contains the evidence of crimes committed by the merchant families that Chen Zhao collected after he came to Nanli City. This was so that Qin Yu could use it to control these people if he needed it one day. However, he didn't expect that it would be used so soon!
"Who is from the Wu family?"
Qin Yu asked in a deep voice.
"Your Highness! I am the head of the Wu family! Those behind me are all from the Wu family!"
The head of the Wu family said coldly.
"That's right! We are all from the Wu family!"
Everyone in the Wu family spoke loudly.
Qin Yu glanced at them coldly and said, "The head of the Wu family forcibly abducted a woman, committed murder and arson, and wiped out an entire family. His crimes are heinous and his entire family should be executed!"
"Uh! You! You're talking nonsense! When have I ever done such a thing?"
The head of the Wu family was shocked.
Chen Zhao stepped forward indifferently and said, "Last month, you abducted a young girl and beat her father to death in the street. Don't even think about making excuses for these things!"
"this......"
The Wu family head's expression changed drastically.
"Since you want to follow the laws of Daliang, then I must act according to the laws of Daliang. Kill!"
Qin Yu said coldly.
Afterwards, Huang Qiuhu immediately stepped forward and chopped off the man's head with a knife. Then he led his men to slaughter the people of the Wu family.
The people of the Wu family screamed in agony, but they could not escape death. The surrounding merchants and powerful families all watched this scene in fear, and no one dared to step forward to help.
"Next, let's talk about the Zhang family! Everyone in the Zhang family, please stand up for me!"
Qin Yu said coldly.
At this moment, two people stood up tremblingly. There are two Zhang families in Nanli City. Because they have the same surname, the two families have a good relationship and have great influence in the city.
"Your Highness! My Zhang family abides by the law, but we have never done anything to bully men or women!"
"That's right! Some of the younger generation of our Zhang family may be arrogant and domineering, but their crimes don't deserve the death penalty! If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were to follow the laws of Daliang, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to sentence us to death!"
"That's right! Our Zhang family hasn't committed any capital crime, so we are not afraid of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Everyone in the Zhang family spoke arrogantly.
Qin Yu looked at them and sneered, "That's right! The Zhang family didn't forcibly abduct women, nor did they bully men or women, but they did commit treason!"
