Mrs. Deng, who was standing next to him, was so anxious that she burst into tears when she heard what Governor Deng said.
How could she let the prince do what he wanted? King Qianhuang killed people without blinking an eye. Isn't this just sending her son to death?
Her Haoer~~
Mrs. Deng was so anxious that she kept pinching Master Deng's legs. After pinching for a long time, she only heard the sound of Master Deng gasping for breath, but she didn't hear him open his mouth again.
Madam Deng knew that her cowardly husband had been intimidated by Magistrate Deng.
Her husband was useless, and her only son was beaten half to death. The wailing sounds made her heart ache.
Her brother-in-law was determined to send her son to death in order to please King Qianhuang. Why did she have such a miserable life?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Deng burst into tears.
"Please spare my life, my Lord~"
"We will give you silver, any amount is fine, and ask Your Majesty to spare my son's life..."
"Shut up!" Magistrate Deng turned around and shouted at his sister-in-law, the veins on his forehead throbbing.
These two tactless guys, even if they want to give money, they have to give it quietly, how can they say it directly like this?
Magistrate Deng regretted it so much that he gave instructions along the way, asking his elder brother and sister-in-law not to say anything when they arrived.
As a result, these two people are more stupid than each other and can't control their mouths.
He didn't want to bring these two people with him, but King Qianhuang specifically asked them to call Deng Hao's father and mother, so he didn't have the courage to stop them.
"......I..." Madam Deng shuddered when Magistrate Deng yelled at her, and her wailing words were immediately choked in her throat.
She wanted to wail a few more times, but under her brother-in-law's fierce gaze, she didn't dare to say another word.
Madam Deng fluttered her eyelashes and glanced at Shen Yong tremblingly.
After Deng Zhifu scolded his sister-in-law, he turned around and kowtowed to Chen Yong to apologize.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I, your humble sister-in-law, love my son dearly. My words and actions have been rude. I beg you..."
Shen Yong chuckled and interrupted Governor Deng. He played with the wine glass in his hand and glanced at Madam Deng.
"How much silver is Madam Deng prepared to give?"
Madam Deng was stunned. She quickly glanced at Magistrate Deng and was too timid to open her mouth.
How much is appropriate?
Governor Deng looked at Chen Yong in astonishment. Looking at Chen Yong's half-smile, he couldn't figure out whether Chen Yong was mocking his sister-in-law or really preparing to ask for the money.
He was told by the people in the accounting office that Shen Yong could get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver just by raising his hand.
He had been troubled by the salt issue these days, and his master told him in the evening that the salt problem had also been solved.
Hearing the master's description of the high-grade salt, he was extremely curious.
The key is millions of kilograms of salt, which cannot be purchased with just silver.
King Qianhuang is so powerful, would he be interested in the little money from my sister-in-law's family?
Could it be that he has his eyes on the Ma family's heirloom - the Tianhuang triple seal?
Tianhuang Stone is known as the "King of Stones". It is crystal clear and as smooth as jade, making it an excellent material for making seals.
The Ma family's three-piece Tianhuang seal was a reward from the founding emperor to the Ma family after their ancestor contributed most of his property to the imperial court.
The Ma family has been in business for generations. The first few generations were imperial merchants, but later they gradually declined.
But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The Ma family is nothing in the capital, but in a small border town, it is more than enough to be the richest man.
"Hmm~!?" Shen Yong looked at Madam Deng in silence and snorted softly.
Mrs. Deng met Chen Yong's oppressive gaze and trembled with fear.
Without any prompt from her brother-in-law, she could only tremblingly raise a finger.
"all....."
Governor Deng knew his sister-in-law too well, and fearing that she would reveal some embarrassing figures and anger King Qianhuang, he quickly responded,
"The Ma family is willing to present a family heirloom Tianhuang triple seal to His Majesty."
Magistrate Deng thought about it carefully and realized that this was the only thing the Ma family could offer.
Anyway, the Ma family will not be able to protect this thing for several generations to come, so it is better to use it to honor King Qianhuang. In consideration of the Tianhuang triple seal, King Qianhuang will also let the Ma family have a place in Qianhuang City.
A family heirloom must be protected, only then can it be called a family heirloom.
If you can't keep it, it will be a treasure that will destroy your entire family. It's better to be more conscious and give it away voluntarily to save the whole family.
When Mrs. Deng heard her brother-in-law's words, her pupils trembled in shock.
She looked at her brother-in-law in disbelief, her soul was frightened away.
"This—this—"
How could she get the Ma family's heirloom?
Don’t think that the Ma family is willing to spend money on her son. That’s because they are doing it for the sake of her brother-in-law. But if the foundation of the Ma family is really affected for her son, the Ma family will never agree.
Mrs. Deng was extremely panicked. Her brother-in-law spoke up and said, "If the Ma family refuses to give it, wouldn't the Deng and Ma families break up?"
But the heirloom means a lot to the Ma family. Everyone in the Ma family regards it as their life, and she has only seen it twice.
Her father hid the family heirloom so carefully that even her elder brother didn't know where it was.
Prefect Deng tilted his head slightly and gave Madam Deng a murderous look, interrupting her words.
He has already said it, this heirloom BMW must be given to him even if he doesn't want to.
Master Deng looked at his brother's horrified eyes and pulled his wife next to him with trembling hands.
Wife, please stop talking.
Can your head be as strong as General Zhong's?
Just give it away if you want to give it as an heirloom. It’s not a Deng family heirloom anyway, so just give it away.
Master Deng doesn't care what the Ma family thinks. As long as King Qianhuang can let his son go, anything is fine.
Madam Deng trembled and lowered her eyelids, feeling that all the ancestors of the Ma family were standing beside her and scolding her.
Her father loves the heirloom like his life, how could he possibly give it out to save her son?
What can I do?
It’s all my brother-in-law’s fault. Why did he bring up the Ma family heirloom for no reason?
King Qianhuang clearly asked her how much silver she wanted to pay, but he didn't say he wanted the Ma family heirloom.
Mrs. Deng frowned, wondering if her brother-in-law wanted to use the Ma family heirloom to pave the way for himself.
In theory, if her brother-in-law rises to prominence, it will be more beneficial to her Hao'er. After all, her brother-in-law has no son, so Hao'er can only inherit the huge family business in the future.
But the Ma family is also her strong backing.
It is because she has the Ma family's large amount of money supporting her that she can act so arrogantly in the Deng Mansion.
Although her sister-in-law was the wife of the prefect, she did not dare to act like one in front of her.
One reason is that she gave birth to the only son of the Deng family, and she was a great contributor to the Deng family. Her sister-in-law only gave birth to two daughters, so they were naturally shorter than her.
Secondly, her natal family gave her a lot of financial support. When her brother-in-law was short of money, it was the Ma family who supported him. Otherwise, her brother-in-law would not have been able to get the position of prefect.
The drought in Qianhuang City was so severe this time, and it was only because the Ma family provided a large amount of food that it was able to sustain it for so long.
