Capítulo 1295: Chapter 1280: The Heavenly Patrol Departnt Pays a Visit
“I didn’t, I didn’t clash with the Princess Mansion military camp. It was just a dispute between brothers, rely sparring!” Marquis Chiping, Gu Chunzhi’s face turned pale with fright upon hearing Ye Zhen’s hefty accusation of clashing with the Princess Mansion military camp, imdiately cried out in protest.
“You didn’t clash with the Princess Mansion military camp? Who can prove it?”
Ye Zhen’s lips curled with a hint of a sardonic smile as he turned to look at the more than a thousand Princess Mansion Guards gathered behind him, “Marquis Chiping Gu Chunzhi clashed with the Princess Mansion military camp, who can testify!”
Perhaps these soldiers hadn’t played such mind gas before, for a mont they hadn’t reacted, not understanding Ye Zhen’s intention.
But one soldier kneeling on the ground awaiting military law punishnt suddenly shouted, “Reporting to Captain, I saw Marquis Chiping leading people to clash with the Princess Mansion military camp with my own eyes, and even confronted us with weapons!”
Marquis Chiping Gu Chunzhi was stunned, this was nonsense, and he glared with wide eyes and roared, “Nonsense, do you dare to fra this Marquis?”
The soldier being pressed to kneel pounded his head on the ground, blood streaming imdiately, then raised his head proudly, “Sir, this is the evidence, I was injured during the fight!”
Clap, clap, clap!
Ye Zhen clapped with satisfaction, “Good, this person has good rits for resisting Marquis Chiping’s attack on the camp, release him!”
Ye Zhen hadn’t said this yet, when he did, the aides waiting on the ground all began to harm themselves as if their lives didn’t matter, displaying all kinds of bizarre injuries.
Each one claid to be injured by Gu Chunzhi.
The scene made Gu Chunzhi’s scalp tingle with fear. This was a lie that wasn’t hard to expose. Just a Soul Search could reveal the truth.
But the problem lay in the fact that behind Ye Zhen stood Princess Changle, and that infamously fierce Master Earth.
That person, without any reason, could make matters worse, and once there was any excuse, or even the slightest evidence, if presented before the emperor, the trouble…
At that thought, cold sweat flowed down from Gu Chunzhi’s head, causing him to regret imnsely.
In fact, he had been cautious enough today, not wanting to give anyone leverage, yet unexpectedly, Ye Zhen conducted affairs so viciously.
“What… what do you want?” Gu Chunzhi still had so rationality, knowing that if Ye Zhen really wanted to deal with him, he wouldn’t be standing here talking nonsense with him.
“Hehe, as Marquis said, you are all brothers. Even if I am angry, I must give Tie Qi so face, right? Otherwise, how will he return to the Gu Family in the future?
So, unless necessary, I won’t go too far. However, so many of my brothers are injured, and the camp is in utter ruins. There must be so expenses for reconstruction and repair, but as a re Captain, my finances are tight!” Ye Zhen said.
Upon hearing this, Gu Chunzhi and his nurous aides widened their eyes simultaneously, aides injured?
That was all self-inflicted, right? It looked terrifying, but it was basically all superficial wounds, seemingly recoverable without any cost?
The camp is in utter ruins?
It seed that the camp ahead was intact, not damaged?
Thinking this, Gu Chunzhi dared not speak, already understanding Ye Zhen’s intention.
Just two words — money!
As for Gu Tieqi, his gaze toward Ye Zhen had completely changed. In his eyes, Ye Zhen’s action was to protect him, to leave a way out for him.
For a mont, Gu Tieqi was deeply grateful to Ye Zhen!
“How much do you want!” Gu Chunzhi asked helplessly, hanging in suspension.
“That depends on Marquis’s sincerity. If your sincerity can appease the brothers, then the camp can be restored. If it can’t…” Ye Zhen’s lips showed a murderous intent, “The consequences, Marquis understands!”
After contemplating, Gu Chunzhi shouted, “One million Low Grade Spirit Stones…”
Before Gu Chunzhi finished, Ye Zhen scolded his aides behind him in anger, “Are you all stupid? Use blades if you have blades, use swords if you have swords, make your wounds more realistic, I’ll take you to Master Earth to seek justice…”
Ye Zhen’s words gave Gu Chunzhi a sudden jolt, hurriedly changing to, “One hundred thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones, and one hundred Low Grade Thought Spirit Pills!”
“Are you treating like a beggar!” Ye Zhen coldly sneered.
“This…” Gu Chunzhi beca anxious, not knowing what price Ye Zhen was ultimately asking.
“For every brother present, one thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones, and one Low Grade Thought Spirit Pill for each!” Ye Zhen directly stated his conditions.
“One thousand for each? With one thousand four or five hundred people, isn’t that one and a half million Mid-grade Spirit Stones?” Gu Chunzhi took a sharp breath, this amount was a considerable sum even for him.
“Can’t do it?”
“If you can’t, then let’s make a fuss, see whether this expense is more or your Marquis title is more valuable? Or perhaps is the Gu Family’s hereditary title more valuable?” Ye Zhen sneered.
Threatened by Ye Zhen, Gu Chunzhi shivered violently, recalling the fate of Marquis Tianjiang, Tian Jiao.
“Uh, I need ti. I must leave here before I can gather…” Gu Chunzhi hesitated to reply.
“Very well! Then the things inside your storage rings will be used as the expenses to repair the Princess Mansion’s barracks, no problem, right?” Ye Zhen roughly stripped off the storage rings from Gu Chunzhi and the three Gu family branch mbers behind him.
Seeing this, Gu Chunzhi was about to cry, “This… this can’t be, my storage ring…”
In front of many soldiers, Ye Zhen took out nearly forty thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones from the storage rings of Gu Chunzhi and his companions and distributed them evenly among the over a thousand trusted aides present.
Although it wasn’t much, it was equivalent to one or two months of military salaries, prompting a cheer from these trusted aides.
Fifteen minutes later, after handwriting a massive I.O.U. and stamping it with his life-bound essence blood, Gu Chunzhi and his companions left the Changle Princess Mansion, dejectedly holding their empty storage rings.
“Eighth Brother, our storage rings have been completely ransacked. How will we gather 1.5 million mid-grade Spirit Stones to give to that Ye?” After leaving the Changle Princess Mansion in embarrassnt, a worried Gu family branch mber asked.
“Fool!”
Gu Chunzhi slapped the young man furiously, “Once we are out of the Changle Princess Mansion, the matter is considered over. Do you really think that Ye would dare to co to our door with that I.O.U. to collect the debt?”
“Indeed, if he dares to co asking for the debt, today’s experience will play out on him again. We’ll show him what the noble families are all about! With a charge of extorting a noble, killing him on the spot wouldn’t leave anyone speaking up for him!” Another branch youth’s statent suddenly enlightened the others.
Gu Chunzhi, with a sinister expression, clenched his fist tightly, “Hmph, that scoundrel dared to empty our storage rings. Let’s see if he falls into my hands!”
Ye Zhen had anticipated this, which is why he stripped off Gu Chunzhi’s storage rings.
However, the I.O.U. Ye Zhen had Gu Chunzhi write was not as simple as Gu Chunzhi and his companions believed.
If it were that simple, then he wouldn’t be Ye Zhen.
anwhile, all newly arrived 1,700 plus recruits had been gathered at the training ground.
At the training ground, apart from the most clever trusted aide who testified first against Gu Chunzhi for attacking the Princess Mansion barracks, the other 125 trusted aides were lined up kneeling on the ground, with a personal guard from the Second Division holding decapitation knives standing behind each of them.
The atmosphere was incomparably eerie, and the newly arrived recruits were terrified to the point of weakness at this scene.
Military law in execution!
A line of 125 trusted aides facing military law!
This kind of thing was rare even in the Border Army, let alone in the ranks of noble trusted aides.
Especially with the cries for rcy and wailing from those 125 trusted aides, it only added more eeriness.
Ye Zhen did not rush to execute after announcing the cris and military law decision for the trusted aides; he just occasionally glanced in the direction of the Inner Residence.
Just as Ye Zhen predicted, Eunuch Luv, who served by Princess Changle’s side, hurried over, whispered a few words in Ye Zhen’s ear.
“Her Highness the Princess is rciful, unwilling to have too much bloodshed, so all of you except the officers leading troops are spared death!” With the hullabaloo here, Ye Zhen estimated the Inner Residence had already been inford.
Over a hundred heads were about to roll. With Princess Changle’s temperant, she surely couldn’t bear it.
As expected, Ye Zhen was right!
“Co, bring out the Capital Guard and captains among these 125 n, execute military law on them! Let it serve as an example to others!”
With Ye Zhen’s stern shout, and amidst the captains’ and Capital Guard’s tragic pleas and curses, five heads rolled!
Although five heads were far less shocking than 125, it still sent chills into everyone’s hearts present!
“The Personal Guard Camp of Changle Princess Mansion carries the heavy duty to protect Her Highness the Princess, and orders must be obeyed strictly. If anyone disobeys the military order causing a flaw in the mansion’s defense, the entire Personal Guard Camp would suffer!
These five are your lessons to rember; should anyone dare to disobey military orders again, they will be executed imdiately!” Ye Zhen shouted, his voice full of evil qi.
In the Inner Residence of Changle Princess Mansion, the avatar projection of Master Earth was standing in attendance before Princess Changle. Watching the corpses in the water mirror before her, Princess Changle’s eyes showed a bit of reluctance.
“Master Earth, this Captain Ye is indeed a talent, with the deanor of a great general, but he’s rather too bloodthirsty! Even after I’ve issued my decree, he still executed five!”
Master Earth laughed, “It is said that the kind do not lead troops. A person without a killing nature cannot beco a qualified general! Moreover, from what I see, this lad isn’t bloodthirsty enough, he’s too considerate. If it were , heads would have rolled long before your decree arrived!”
“Besides, Your Highness, without any killing instinct, how could he possibly subdue those haughty and fierce officers under his command, or those shaless noble family mbers?”
Upon hearing this, Princess Changle nodded lightly. Suddenly, a talisman light fell straight in through the window, and seeing this, Princess Changle’s expression turned a bit worried, “Oh, Master Earth, soone from the Heavenly Patrol Departnt is here to see Ye Zhen!”
