Chapter 177 The Feng Family Father and Son Are Terrified
To be honest, don't look at people like Feng Quji who are only selfish and materialistic.

But in fact, their ancestors, generation after generation, really risked their lives and fought bravely during the rise of the Qin State.

Of course, these people benefited from the Qin Dynasty's system of granting titles through military merit and obtained status and titles that were favored by their ancestors.

But wasn’t the Qin Dynasty built step by step by these people?

To the First Emperor, these people were indeed the heroes who contributed to the rise of the Qin Dynasty.

They are now corrupt and degenerate, but are they really that easy to kill?

The most important thing is, what happens after the killing?

The First Emperor could certainly suppress any possible rebellion and rumors with his supreme authority.

But it will eventually sow the seeds of disaster!
By then, what will the second and third emperors who inherit the throne do when faced with the remnants of the aristocratic families who rise up in rebellion?

The most important thing is that, unlike the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, these noble families are truly "locals" who have deeply penetrated into every aspect of the Qin Dynasty!

"Mr. Chen, please stay!"

As Feng Quji said this, Chen Ping felt relieved.

Steady!

For Chen Ping, he came here today just to get slapped in the face.

Giving wolfberries, ridiculing kidney deficiency, and mentioning the attack on the salt shop were all like slapping the other party in the face.

But a slap in the face isn’t just for the sake of slapping the face.

Look, even though the opponent's momentum had subsided, Chen Ping became even more polite than before.

"Does Lord Feng have any advice for me?"

Chen Ping had only walked a few steps, but when he heard Feng Quji's call, he immediately returned to his seat and sat down quietly.

It looked exactly the same as before.

Feng Quji looked at the other person with a stiff expression, but even though he knew that the other person couldn't see him, he still bowed.

"Mr. Chen, do you have anything to teach me?"

Chen Ping stood still as a mountain when he heard this. He still looked the gentle gentleman with a smile on his face, but his eyes became colder.

"Lord Feng should be aware that a shocking incident occurred in the market today."

"Prince Yuan exercised his power as regent, established a salt and iron monopoly system, and opened the Great Qin Imperial Salt Shop."

"The purpose is just to let the people of Daqin eat safe and cheap refined salt, and by the way, add a source of income to the Daqin treasury."

"I never thought that such a thing that benefits the country and the people would be attacked by such ignorant people who would attack the salt shop and try to stir up a civil uprising."

"Fortunately, General Wang sent troops to suppress it, so it didn't cause any disaster!"

“But it has happened.”

When Chen Ping said this, he paused slightly.

Moreover, when he spoke just now and mentioned the four words "General Wang", it was as if he was showing off.

But the father and son of the Feng family really fell into their trap at this time.

Because what they were most worried about was that the old man Wang Jian would really stand up and raise his arms, then support Ying Yuan and confront them, the noble families.

That would be a really big problem.

On the one hand, it is because this old man Wang Jian has been involved in countless deaths.

He really had no resistance to killing people.

Just kill him, what else can you do?

Hundreds or even thousands of people died in front of him, and it would have been difficult for him to even blink.

On the other hand, it is because of identity.

Feng Quji was indeed the leader of a group of old-school noble families, which made both the First Emperor and Ying Yuan extremely wary of him.

But what’s interesting is that, in fact, the Wang family represented by Wang Jian is now also considered a noble family.

And he is one of those with outstanding achievements and high ranking!

If that old man Wang Jian were to take action, it wouldn't just be "the emperor killing his meritorious officials."

That's called "suppressing the rebellion"!
After all, the ones who did it were nobles from aristocratic families, so could it still be called killing a meritorious official?

Feng Quji didn't dare to gamble at this time, and immediately said in a deep voice, "Those who bring disaster to the Qin Dynasty should be executed!"

"But, I wonder how Gongzi Yuan plans to deal with this later?"

Feng Quji trusted the assassins he sent out.

If a death warrior could speak so easily, he wouldn't be called a death warrior.

However, it is unwise to put all your hopes on these assassins, or even risk your life and property.

After all, the Jinyiwei's methods have long been known to be horrifying.

It is said that anyone who enters the Jinyiwei prison will be able to remain silent.

No matter how confident Feng Quji was in his assassins, he still had to worry about how the Feng family would respond if they really confessed something.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling he was, he had to find out something at this time.

"How to deal with it?"

Chen Ping smiled playfully, imitating Ying Yuan's usual behavior, tapping the table lightly with his fingers.

"Tuk!"

"Tuk!"

"Ten"

"..."

It seemed to be just a simple knocking sound, and it wasn't even loud.

But in today's environment, it seemed as if every blow was hitting the hearts of the Feng father and son.

Especially Feng Jie, he now understood the consequences of the assassination attempt falling into the hands of the Jinyiwei.

In a moment of excitement, he even dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

As luck would have it, there was a sudden flash of thunder outside the house, and the sound was deafening.

"Heh, this thunder in dry land is really unexpected!"

Feng Quji glared at his son fiercely, then smiled and slowly gave Chen Ping a reason!
At the same time, he was also sighing.

Fortunately, the person opposite is blind.

Otherwise, just this one move would reveal your cowardice.

Feng Jie also knew that he had performed poorly just now, so he quickly lowered his head.

Chen Ping, on the other hand, smiled and said indifferently.

"Why is Lord Feng like this? Censor Feng is young and proud, and has never experienced the power of thunder, so it is normal for him to behave like this!"

"Master Feng, please don't be too harsh!"

On the surface, Chen Ping's words seemed nonchalant.

But to the ears of the Feng family father and son, every word seemed to be a warning to them.

"Now, all the rebels are being tortured."

"After all, our Great Qin governs the country according to the law. There must be both human and material evidence before a fair sentence can be enforced!"

"Even if you are the regent, you can't do whatever you want, right?"

"Therefore, even though one of the traitors has already confessed, you still decided to collect confessions from others."

"And, tomorrow at noon, you will take this man to Caishikou and make the truth known to the public!"

As soon as Chen Ping said this, the Feng family father and son were instantly startled and their faces changed instantly.

But Chen Ping's words continued.

"But, you seem to be a kind-hearted person, and you believe that it is a great honor to admit one's mistakes and correct them."

"Master Feng, what do you think? If the people behind this were more sensible and honestly admitted their mistakes and left, would it be appropriate for you to let them go?"
