After saying that, Qin Yu ordered someone to send the guests away!
In just a short while, he had gained 100,000 soldiers and horses. This was a great joy. He had to drive away Shangguan Wan'er and others to avoid ruining his good mood!
The four people were driven out of the City Lord's Mansion, and their faces were all ashen!
"Damn it! I didn't expect Qin Yu to be so arrogant and unreasonable. He actually snatched the troops and horses directly. Moreover, he completely ignored our advice and drove us out!"
Qin Hong gritted his teeth.
"Prince Qin Hong, you don't know that Qin Yu has always been so arrogant and unreasonable!"
General Zhang said in a deep voice.
"Now, all our troops have been taken away by Qin Yu, and there is no way to check and balance him anymore!"
General Xu also said.
"Who said that? In the southern border, it's not just the soldiers who have the final say. The nobles have just as much say as the crown prince Qin Yu!"
Shangguan Wan'er suddenly spoke.
"Ms. Wan'er, have you thought of a way to deal with Qin Yu?"
General Zhang said immediately.
"I will contact the nobles right now and have them spread rumors that Qin Yu's claim that refined salt is innocent is a fraud, and that those people actually ate coarse salt!"
"Then he incited the people to besiege the City Lord's Mansion. I want to see how ruthless Qin Yu is. Does he dare to wield the butcher knife against the people of Daliang?"
Shangguan Wan'er said coldly.
"Haha! Miss Wan'er, this is a really good idea. Since refined salt is poisonous and it's the common people who will die if they eat it, then let the common people deal with Qin Yu!"
Qin Hong said with a sneer.
Afterwards, the four of them quickly contacted the noble families.
The noble families in the southern border have all relied on Shangguan Xiong to achieve their current status, but after hearing the news about Shangguan Wan'er, they all became hesitant.
After all, Shangguan Xiong was suppressed by Qin Yu everywhere in the Imperial Capital City. After Qin Yu arrived in the southern border, he made them suffer such a big loss. They really didn't dare to confront Qin Yu head-on.
However, if this matter was done more secretly, Qin Yu might not be able to find out about them!
"Since it's Lord Shangguan's idea, let's do it!"
"Alas! Success or failure depends on this one move. If we continue to retreat, Qin Yu will only become more aggressive. Then, we aristocratic families will become a laughing stock!"
Everyone said in a deep voice.
Then, they sent people to spread the news, and the noble families outside the southern border were also paying attention to the news in Nanli City.
When they learned that the rumor that refined salt was poisonous spread in the city, and that Qin Yu's self-proven experiment was also fooling the people, they could no longer sit still.
"We almost fell into Qin Yu's trap!"
"He must be using this poisonous salt as bait to trick us into selling him the salt mine at a low price. That way, he can find an excuse to continue selling crude salt to the people!"
"Haha! Fortunately, someone noticed Qin Yu's conspiracy in advance, otherwise, we would have suffered heavy losses!"
"Now, the people are very excited. Some have already taken to the streets to protest and demand an explanation from Qin Yu!"
......
The nobles gathered together to discuss the matter and decided not to sell the salt mine to Qin Yu.
As things continued to ferment, the people finally surrounded the City Lord's Mansion and asked Qin Yu to stop selling refined salt. They wanted to eat coarse salt!
