"What to do?"
Hao Runxiang's body trembled a few times.
Zhao Ping actually took control of everything.
Then she will definitely die.
Hao Runxiang no longer wanted to struggle.
Meaningless.
Their conspiracy alone was enough to make them lose their heads ten times.
Hao Runxiang's heart was ashen.
One wrong step, every wrong step.
If we had known today, why did we do it in the first place?
There is no use regretting it.
I can only pray that Your Majesty will remember the past friendship and give her a decent death.
Qian Shi stopped kowtowing.
His mind was working rapidly, thinking of countermeasures.
There are only four situations.
The first is to deny it even to death.
But if he really does this, if the other party comes up with real evidence, he and the entire Qian family will cease to exist.
Second, be frank and lenient.
Account for your crimes and get rid of the Qian family.
Scatter some more money to preserve the blood of the Qian family.
Third, put all the blame on Hao Runxiang.
She is the queen, and the person in front of her is not an important minister in the court, nor is he a favorite of His Majesty. Even if he holds Shang Fang's sword in his hand, he should not dare to kill the queen easily.
He and the Qian family might still be saved.
Fourth, real rebellion.
I also have many hired officials here, and they also have manpower around them.
And the first floor in the world is not just the place where the Qian family talks about things.
Most of the other officials talked about things there.
If the person in front of me really goes to the First Floor in the World to find out the truth, I am afraid that not only will he be blocked, but those people will also be blocked.
They are considered allies at the moment.
But when he thought that there were many officers and soldiers guarding the outside, Qian Shi suppressed this thought.
Even if they can kill the person in front of them.
Can make the prince ascend the throne.
Then what?
These officers and soldiers are all His Majesty's personal soldiers and only obey His Majesty's orders.
The man in front of him holds the Shang Fang Sword in his hand, which represents His Majesty. If his people attack him, they will inevitably lead to a counterattack by those officers and soldiers.
I'm afraid it will be even more chaotic by then.
Can't even escape.
He may even be accused of treason, implicating the entire Qian family.
After thinking about it, Qian Shi chose the third option.
Pass them all to Hao Runxiang.
She was just her adopted daughter. She became the queen and wanted to get rid of the Qian family's control.
Using the life of such a person to protect the Qian family would not be in vain for the kindness he had given her in raising her.
Having made up his mind, Qian Shi hurriedly said: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."
"She ordered me to do all this."
Qian Shi pointed at Hao Runxiang.
"She is my adopted daughter, but she is a queen."
"A large part of our Qian family's business needs her help."
"She's going to hold me hostage."
"Let me help her do this kind of rebellion."
"If I don't agree, she will cut off the background of our Qian family, and even go to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to destroy our Qian family."
"For the sake of the Qian family's bloodline, the common people have no choice but to comply."
"Shangguan, you must make the decision for the common people. The common people are forced to do so."
hehe.
Hao Runxiang sneered in her heart.
Sure enough, if something happened, he would push himself out to block the knife.
What a good father.
"Yeah?"
Zhao Ping also sneered.
"Then tell me what exactly the Queen ordered you to do?"
"this……"
Qian Shibian hesitated.
What things?
It's okay at all.
He ordered Hao Runxiang to do it all.
But Qian Shi didn't know which piles were found.
The more you talk, the more flaws you expose.
But if you say anything less, you won't be able to acquit the queen. When she gets up, the Qian family will have another enemy.
Qian Shi took a look at the surrounding situation.
After thinking about it for a moment or two, he said leisurely: "First, she asked the common people for money."
"A full two million taels."
"You want money?"
Zhao Ping asked back: "She is the queen, the mother of a country."
"If she wants money, won't she ask His Majesty for it?"
"If we say that the person with the most money in the entire Dawei Dynasty, shouldn't it be our current Majesty?"
"That's her husband-in-law."
"She doesn't ask for money from her husband-in-law, but she asks for money from you."
"One or two million taels, why did you just give it to her?"
"This common man doesn't know."
Qian Shi shook his head, "The common people don't want to give her money, but she uses her position as queen to oppress us."
"You should know that ordinary people are just businessmen. How can they have any qualifications to resist when facing officials? They can't just take money."
"What does she want the money for?"
Zhao Ping asked again, "The mother of a country, even if she wants to do something, just say it, there are many people to help her do it, how can she use money?"
"Buy the soldiers among the city defenders and the Imperial Guard."
Qian Shi said: "His Majesty once issued a notice that soldiers without military merit will not be promoted."
"Although the queen has great power, she cannot promote those soldiers for no reason."
"In order to recruit those soldiers for her use, she can only buy them with money."
"That's a good statement."
Zhao Ping nodded, "Go on, what's the second one?"
"Second, the queen asked ordinary people to help her make suggestions. She wants to be the assistant minister."
Qian Shi said.
"Your Majesty is not dead, so what qualifications does she have to be an assistant minister?"
Zhao Ping asked rhetorically.
"The queen said that your majesty will definitely die."
Qian Shi said: "At that time, the common people were also suspicious, but these were Shangguan's affairs. The common people were just merchants and did not know the details. They thought that His Majesty had died."
"So the common people suggested that the prince should be enthroned."
"When the prince ascends the throne, the queen will become the empress dowager."
"In addition, the prince is young and cannot review memorials or control the court. As the empress dowager, it is reasonable for her to handle court affairs on behalf of the prince."
"You can then legitimately become the auxiliary minister."
"So you are the one who instigated the crown prince to ascend the throne?"
Zhao Ping's face turned cold.
"Hao Runxiang is the queen."
Qian Shi said aggrievedly: "Facing the current queen, don't I have to do whatever she asks me to do?"
"Do I dare to resist?"
"Isn't that looking for death?"
"It seems that I have wronged you."
Zhao Ping said indifferently: "You were forced, and you didn't really want to rebel."
"This is not your responsibility."
"Any more?"
"have."
Qian Shi said hurriedly.
But my heart blossomed with joy.
The young man holding Shang Fang's sword in front of him is really too young.
If you say a few things at random, he will believe them all and forgive yourself.
Then take the opportunity to say more.
Anyway, someone is there to keep you safe.
Having made up his mind, Qian Shi said leisurely: "Third, the Queen ordered me to help her find a killer to assassinate Your Majesty."
"Um?"
Zhao Ping frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Do you dare to do such a rebellious thing?"
"I, I, I..."
Qian Shi became hesitant again.
Finally, he became worried and gritted his teeth and said: "Shangguan, you also know that Cao Min is just a merchant and has never read a book. He doesn't know any laws, let alone what is treason."
"And when the queen came to find me, I just asked me to help her find a group of killers."
"Do you know the killer?"
Zhao Ping asked curiously.
"know."
Qian Shi said: "When ordinary people do business, they travel all over the country and make a lot of friends."
"And our Qian family also has money. As long as we are willing to spend it, we can find it."
"At first, the people didn't know who the queen wanted to kill."
"I really know it's His Majesty, but the common people won't dare to find it for her no matter what."
"Shangguan, you must be aware that these things are forced by the queen on the common people and have nothing to do with the common people."
"If the common people don't agree, the queen will use her power to destroy our Qian family."
"Well, I'll make the decision for you."
Zhao Ping nodded and asked Qian Shi if there was anything else.
Qian Shi didn't dare to say any more.
I am afraid that the more I say, the more loopholes will appear. If Zhao Ping discovers the clues, he will have no chance to explain.
I can only shake my head and say no.
Then Zhao Ping turned around and asked Hao Runxiang, who was shivering out of anger or fear.
"Queen Hao, Qian Shi, the head of the Qian family, identified you and listed a number of things. What do you have to say to defend yourself?"
