The people would accept some losses, and the court would accept them too.Now the entire empire is riddled with holes and facing stormy winds. The court's control over the whole country is at its weak...Chapter 1169: Zheng Bao Rong's Woes

Hu dared to pant heavily.

After just a short while, the numbness from Li Chen's kick had subsided, replaced by a searing pain in his face.

Compared to pain and hatred, what filled Hu Dagang's heart was more astonishment.

Now even a fool can see that this man, about the same age as himself, with an air of nobility, knows his own identity and, more importantly, the identity of his father.

But he didn't care at all.

And from what I can tell, he means to take himself and all his people out.

This is no longer something an ordinary playboy could do.

Even if their backgrounds and social statuses are significant, there are established ways to handle conflicts between young masters within this circle.

It's just a matter of beating someone up to get some cheap advantage, then the elders on both sides come forward and smooth things over.

A big deal is made out of a trivial matter, the family gives up some interests, that's all there is to it.

But these are all under the table.

Where is there such a thing as uprooting a whole group of people at once

The Qin Empire, when did it produce such an amazing person

Vaguely, Hu Dagang had a bold guess.

< This guess was immediately refuted as soon as it came up. >

He didn't dare to think about it too deeply.

At this point, seeing Hu Gang didn't speak up, Li Chen didn't press him further.

As he said, whether Hu Gandang spoke or not wouldn't make any difference.

Li Chen will handle what he's supposed to, and he will get it done.

Turning his head, Li Chen glanced at Zheng Baorong.

Just one look was enough to send Zheng Baorong, who was already on edge, crashing to his knees with a thump.

His large head was drenched in sweat, his lips trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes darted back and forth with fear, his chubby face contorted with terror.

It's clear that this fat guy is truly terrified.

Zheng Baorong knew all too well how ruthless the prince before him was. Even an old fox like Zhao Xuanji hadn't been able to withstand the prince's power. Now that he had fallen into the prince's hands, wasn't he just a piece of fat ready to be devoured

The more Zheng Bao-rong thought about it, the more afraid he became. He was dumbfounded and couldn't even muster a plea for mercy.

"Do you know about these things" Li Chen asked indifferently.

Upon hearing Li Chen's voice, Zheng BaoRong felt as if he had been brought back to life.

He knew that, given the Crown Prince's temperament, this was his last chance. If his answer failed to satisfy the Prince, he would truly be finished today.

Under fear, Zheng Baorong directly said: "I know, I know some."

"Just know some Or all" Li Chen asked impassively.

Zheng Baorong's face turned even paler, and he said in a low voice: "Everyone knows."

Li Chen stopped talking, just staring at Zheng Baorong with cold eyes.

Zheng Baorong kowtowed repeatedly to Li Chen, choking back tears and saying: "Your humble servant, your humble servant has just arrived. To do a good job as the magistrate of the capital city, relying on my own abilities is definitely impossible. In court, I have no one to rely on. This capital city is also my first time coming here, let alone any confidants..."

“This position is incredibly complex. If left unattended, it wouldn't be just a matter of restoring order to the capital; even basic operations would become unbearably difficult. That's why I know some individuals are involved in these activities. They collude and deceive higher authorities, manipulating market prices through various means to buy low and sell high, ultimately enriching themselves.”
