The backyard warehouse, when Li Yinhǔ and the others arrived, they saw mountains of silver piled inside the warehouse. Li Yinhǔ's heart skipped a beat.

Li Yinhu knew that some big merchants were wealthy.

Although they couldn't wear silk or make a big show of themselves.

It is precisely because of this that merchants, whether they are willing or not, regardless of their nature, must act low-key.

Being low-key is like making money quietly and steadily.

During the Qin Dynasty, commercial taxes were very low. The imperial court's revenue was always insufficient year after year. The income of the common people depended on unpredictable circumstances. As a result, most of the social wealth concentrated in the hands of these merchants.

No matter what, when Li Yinhu looked up at the silver mountain in the warehouse, his eyes turned completely red.

I'm still thinking about how much silver I sent out today, thousands of ounces! I don't even know where the money will come from next month. But these lowly merchants actually have a mountain of silver hidden in their homes!

The heavy breaths all around the yard made Liu Sichun realize something was seriously wrong.

"Your Highness..."

Before Liu Sichun could speak, Li Yuhua fixated on the silver mountain with avarice in his eyes. He interrupted Liu Sichun, saying, "This money is evidence of your collusion with the Bai Lian Sect!"

This statement caused Liu Sichun's face to change drastically.

"Your Highness, even if it's a false accusation, there needs to be a plausible explanation. Can these silver coins speak for themselves Why did Your Highness immediately claim this is evidence of collusion between the Liu family and the White Lotus Sect"

Li Yinhu sneered, "Silver indeed cannot speak, so what this king says is what it is."

Saying that, Li Yinhǔ waved his hand and excitedly ordered: "Come on, seal up all this silver, and take everyone from the Liu family, top to bottom!"

Now, even Li Yinhu didn't feel like acting anymore.

Facing so much silver, he could completely abandon his principles.

"Your Highness, this is outright robbery!" Liu Sicun exclaimed angrily.

"Yes, this king is taking by force."

Li Yinhu let out a derisive laugh and said to Liu Sichun, "Do you know what crime you've truly committed It's having too much money. That's the sin. Whatever this king says goes."

Liu Sichun was furious, and knew that he might lose his life, but not a single copper coin of this silver could be missing.

She immediately ran to the warehouse door, threw her arms wide open to block him, and glared at Li Yinhou, saying, "My lord, you can't take this money today."

Seeing Liu Sichun dare to openly rebel, Li Yinhou's face immediately darkened.

"Is this the sky of Great Qin, or the sky of the Li royal family, or the sky of the court You, a mere merchant, dare to speak disrespectfully to this prince! Are you rebelling!"

"Bring her here! Bring this woman who doesn't know when she's dead and have her dragged away, to be hacked to pieces!"

"Wait!"

Speaking those words was none other than Liu Sidar, who was dragging his wounded body and blood still dripping from his nose and mouth.

Liu Sidar limped over and bowed humbly to Li Yinhu, saying: "Your Highness, if you think there's something wrong with this silver, you can seal it up and investigate slowly. My family will say nothing. But if someone dies, this matter will become a big one."

Li Yinhu frowned as if to reprimand, but Liu Sidda followed up, lowering his voice slightly: "Your Highness is a prince of noble birth, while our Liu family is merely a humble merchant family. Our lives are insignificant in your presence, but there are many people around here right now. It's hard to avoid gossip spreading. Your Highness doesn't want the lives of our Liu family members, does he Take what you want from us, and let us not cause any further trouble."don't need to use that kind of reason to anger King Ning. Have you ever thought that if this palace doesn't save you, you will be dead"Cai He remained silent.Li Chen let out a light chuckle and said,...
