I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

The moment they heard this, several grand masters were stunned.

They made the promise themselves, but they didn't expect Lu Yuan to ask them to fulfill it immediately.

Prince Jing was also stunned. He had not expected Lu Yuan to say this on his own initiative.

He spoke with a smile on his face.

"It's just a misunderstanding. I think there's no need to make it so unpleasant, right? I think it's better to make a big deal out of a small matter. If it's too embarrassing, it won't be good for both of us. What do you think?"

There was a hint of threat in these words, but Lu Yuan didn't buy it at all.

"I know these people have been with the prince for a long time. It's normal for you to have a deep relationship between master and servant. But since you've made a promise, you must fulfill it. If you make a boast when you can't do it, I'm afraid people will criticize the prince for being a good person!"

"Besides, it wasn't me who started the dispute. They were the ones who took the initiative to provoke me and questioned the people I brought with me. Now I have proved it and slapped them in the face. Doesn't that prove everything?"

After hearing this, Prince Jing fell silent for a short time.

He didn't expect that Lu Yuan had no intention of giving in and kept arguing with him.

Although these grand masters are not very capable, they are his confidants and are people he can trust.

If these people were not around, it would be very difficult for him to do things in the future.

But if a satisfactory result is not given at this moment, Lu Yuan will have a hard time explaining himself!
Seeing that Prince Jing showed no sign of giving in, Jiuyou took the opportunity to say something.

"Since these people are the prince's confidants, we have no way to force them to do anything. However, we also have our own persistence and will definitely not give in or change. In this case, we will not disturb them anymore and will take our leave first!"

Having said that, he turned around and was about to walk out.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Prince Jing hurriedly stopped the man.

"Wait a minute, is there no room for maneuver in this matter?"

When asking this question, Prince Jing looked at Lu Yuan. He understood that the control of all this was in his hands, so naturally he had to let him speak first.

Lu Yuan didn't really want to kill these grand masters, he just wanted to make things difficult for Prince Jing.

Seeing that he had said such things, I didn't intend to continue playing around and temporarily relaxed.

"Well, since Prince Jing said so, I will definitely give him some face. I don't need to sacrifice their lives, but I want 20,000 taels of gold!"

I didn't expect that he would ask for so much gold.

Several grand masters were very angry and wanted to scold, but when they thought of their current situation, they couldn't say anything.

With no other choice, all I could do was shut up.

Prince Jing did not agree immediately, but weighed the pros and cons first.

After thinking for a while, he finally nodded and agreed.

"Well, I'll have someone prepare the gold tomorrow!"

After getting the promise, Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

After sitting for a while, they left together.

After everyone left, several grand masters knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy.

"Your Majesty, we know we are wrong!"

Prince Jing had no intention of pursuing the matter, but waved his hand, signaling them to get up first.

"This has nothing to do with you. These people are quite powerful, so it's normal that you can't beat them. I guess they were secretly practicing before, otherwise the people I sent out would have encountered them before!" "They are so obsessed with gold and other external things, so I have a way to control them."

That being said, several grand masters were still somewhat puzzled and did not understand the significance of Prince Jing making such a great sacrifice.

"Your Highness, this is not a small amount of money. If we want to bribe other people, I'm afraid we won't have enough money."

After pondering for a moment, Prince Jing had some ideas in his mind.

"Go contact the ministers in the court and ask them to give as much silver as possible. When I ascend the throne, they will not be spared from the benefits!"

Several people nodded quickly, agreed, and hurried to do their work.

Prince Jing was very satisfied with these people.

With them around, it doesn't matter if I waste some money. This will be the biggest help for me in the future.

The only thing he didn't know was where this person lived, and this was what worried Prince Jing the most.

He came and went without a trace, so he was still a little worried. He was afraid that there might be other unexpected situations, so he had to be careful.

This point needs further investigation.

Dayan.

After learning that Zhu Feng had returned to the palace, the king's uncle went to the palace immediately.

Now that he has a big plan in mind, he naturally needs someone to help. Zhu Feng is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

But when he arrived, he did not see Zhu Feng, only Shi Jian standing at the door.

Seeing this, the king's uncle was a little confused.

"Why are you here? Where's Zhu Feng?"

Faced with the question, Shi Jian sighed and replied.

"We were ambushed on the way back. The queen is recovering from her injuries and has not come out to see the prince yet. It will take at least half a month."

Hearing this, the prince's face was full of doubts and he asked in confusion.

"Why would there be an ambush out of nowhere? Have you investigated who the enemy is?"

Shijian shook his head and responded.

"No, we don't know where those people came from, and they fled very quickly, but they knew the time we passed by. They should have known our itinerary in advance. I have already told the Prime Minister about this matter, and he should be investigating it now."

After learning about this, the prince's uncle didn't say anything more, but he had some thoughts in his mind.

When leaving Zhu Feng, the confidant of the prince's uncle suddenly spoke and said something.

"This matter is indeed a bit strange. The Crown Princess has a master named Shijian by her side. He can still hurt her. I think the other party's identity is not ordinary. Could he be sent by the Crown Prince?"

Hearing this, the prince chuckled and spoke slowly.

"If it's not him, who else could it be? It seems that we have really underestimated our prince. He can't wait to take action!"

In the eyes of the king's uncle, this matter was done by the prince, it was a foregone conclusion and there was nothing strange about it.

Apart from him, no one else would be able to attack Zhu Feng.

As far as the current situation is concerned, he regards Zhu Feng as a thorn in his side, so naturally he wants to get rid of him as soon as possible. In this way, he will have the only possibility of succession! (End of this chapter)
