The Empress was so angry that she was gasping and trembling as she pointed a finger at Long Yi, saying, "You... you... don't be too tyrannical."
The Prime Minister's bones were barely cold, yet the War Prince sent someone to collect the debt, and it was blatantly extortion. The worst part was that the Emperor was being used as a shield, forcing the Empress to pay out.
Long Yi: "Paying debts is only right and proper, how is that excessive?"
The guards nearby were also stunned; they had never heard of someone demolishing another's house and then demanding compensation, especially such a huge amount, a silver note worth 100,000 taels. The War Prince's actions were indeed ruthless.
However, since it was the War Prince, his actions were always arrogant and domineering. Though surprised initially, everyone soon calmed down. In their eyes, the War Prince was a godlike figure; no matter what he did, they could quickly accept it.
