Long Yi was left bewildered and asked, "Prince, when did the Pri Minister owe us Silver?"
Upon hearing this, Long Rui glared at him with displeasure and said coldly, "Such a waste, the Pri Minister owes us so much money, and you can even forget? I really need to reconsider whether I should dismiss you from your position as Guard Commander."
Long Yi pondered hard, shook his head, and said with a distressed look, "Prince, I really can’t rember."
"What’s not there, we’ve torn down the Pri Minister’s Mansion in such a big matter, and you can even forget that? Do you really not want to be the Guard Commander anymore?"
"Pfft!"
Long Yi almost spit out blood; the Prince was too cunning. He tore down the Pri Minister’s Mansion but still wants compensation in Silver, moreover, the Pri Minister was killed by the Prince, and yet the Prince still asks for Silver.
Long Yi: "Master, hehe... The Pri Minister is already dead, is it really appropriate for us to collect debts?"
Long Rui: "What’s bad about it, isn’t there an old saying that goes ’the son’s debt is paid by the father’?"
Long Yi: "Master, have you forgotten? The Pri Minister had no son."
Long Rui: "Isn’t there still the Empress? If not, there’s still The Emperor! Why worry, just bring the Silver back for ."
"Long Yi: What does The Emperor have to do with it?"
"He’s the guarantor, the main person is gone, so naturally I have to ask him for Silver," said Long Rui matter-of-factly.
Long Yi said with a distressed face, "Master, spare ! I don’t dare ask The Emperor for Silver."
Long Rui coldly said, "Useless, there’s always the Empress, isn’t there?"
Long Yi was troubled now; so all this ti, the Prince was talking to get him to ask the Empress for Silver!
Long Rui furrowed his brow and glanced at him askew, asking, "What’s wrong? Really don’t want to be Guard Commander anymore?"
Long Yi shivered all over and imdiately said, "No, no, no, Master you misunderstood, I do want, want."
"Then hurry up and go."
"Yes."
Long Yi responded and bolted off, truly afraid if he delayed, the Prince would really remove him from the Guard Commander’s position.
As the Pri Minister was dismantled by Long Rui, the Pri Minister’s body temporarily had nowhere to be placed and was put in front of the fourth prince’s mansion.
The Fourth Prince returned from the Imperial Palace that day and saw this scene, his face turned dark. Just in the Imperial Palace, the Empress blad him for killing the Pri Minister, and now the Pri Minister’s body was placed at the entrance of his mansion, isn’t this adding insult to injury?
"Hey, hey, hey! What’s the matter with you all? Why put such an inauspicious thing in front of my mansion?" The Fourth Prince stopped and asked the servants guarding the body.
The servants felt aggrieved too, as the custom here is for human remains to return to the roots, but since the Pri Minister’s residence is gone, where else can they move the body?
While alive, the Pri Minister temporarily resided in the fourth prince’s mansion. After much consideration, they thought, since he was the Fourth Prince’s maternal grandfather, even if they bring the body here, the Fourth Prince wouldn’t bla them. So, after discussing, they found this thod feasible and moved the Pri Minister here.
One of the servants, emboldened, replied, "Reporting to the Fourth Prince, with the Pri Minister’s residence gone, the servant doesn’t know where to send the Pri Minister, so could only bring him back here."
Another servant added, "Right, the Pri Minister only had you and the Empress as relatives. If we don’t send him here, should we send him to the Imperial Palace? If The Emperor gets angry, do we still want to live?"
The Fourth Prince was furious, "You all... you...!"
