Chapter 725: Jiayang's men failed to assassinate the king and planned to assassinate the three
These mid-level cultivators knew that their cultivation was not high, so they did not intend to openly support Prince Jiayang. They always did bad things behind the scenes. Robbing the property of the rich in various countries was what they did most often.
Because they wanted to quickly improve their cultivation in order to do bigger things later, they needed money to buy spiritual energy substances. They also went to the pharmacy under the name of Prince Duan Jing's mansion to buy level 10 pills and some high-quality medicinal materials for medicinal baths.
Because in order to quickly improve their cultivation, they need to spend a lot of money, but Prince Jiayang does not have that much financial resources, so they need to solve the problem of these funds themselves.
However, it is definitely not achievable with their personal abilities.
However, there are some assassins under the command of Prince Jiayang. They come from all over the country and know the rich people in all places very well. Therefore, the wealthy merchants or landlords in several nearby countries have always encountered various robberies recently.
Most of these incidents were carried out by the joint efforts of the mid-level cultivators and assassins under Prince Jiayang.
They divided the gold and silver they got. In order to win the hearts of the people, Prince Jiayang was not as black-hearted as before.
As for the ill-gotten gains, Prince Jiayang took 10% for himself, and the rest was divided equally among the mid-level cultivators and assassins according to their number.
Recently, Prince Jiayang asked his men not to make any big moves, and to accumulate wealth and improve their cultivation through this secret robbery. After a while, when the limelight has faded, they can carry out their plan.
The brothers sent by Li Mohan and Xiao Yunyan secretly learned about these things. They immediately contacted Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan and asked them whether they should stop these bandits from robbing the wealth of the wealthy families now or wait until they have a big move and then destroy them together?
The disadvantage of the former is that it is impossible to wipe them all out at once, but it is easy to alert them and make them hide again. It will probably take a lot of effort to find their traces next time.
If the second option is adopted, although the other party can be annihilated in one fell swoop, more and more rich people will be robbed in the process. The surrounding countries are in panic. Moreover, these people are very ruthless. When they are robbing property, once they are blocked by the guards of the house, they will kill people.
Therefore, Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan’s senior brothers didn’t know how to make the decision?
After Li Mohan and Xiao Yunyan learned the news, they discussed it and decided that they should take action as soon as possible.
Although they cannot be annihilated together, it is not very difficult to defeat them one by one.
After the actions, these evildoers will return to their respective residences. Some of them go to other places temporarily, so they live in inns. Some of them already have residences in the local area, so they return directly to their own courtyards. Therefore, these people do not live in the same place after the actions, and it is not easy to use drugs to eliminate them all at once.
Instead, the brothers need to disperse and arrest people in various accommodation places.
The reason why we choose not to arrest people at the scene of the theft is mainly to protect the lives of the families of those who were robbed.
They are worried that these low-level cultivators and assassins, when they are blocked and unable to fight, will take hostages as threats.
In this case, more cultivators are needed to work together to capture these evil people scattered everywhere.
Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan arranged for more brothers to come and help. These brothers were very happy, as they could earn money and their bags were filled with goodies from their brothers and sisters.
More importantly, every time they help their junior brothers and sisters complete tasks, they can earn a large amount of merit points, which is what they value most.
Therefore, those evil people who had been rampantly robbing people of their money were all arrested by Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan's senior brothers within just two days.
This time, all the people caught were alive. They did not want to execute these evil people directly. The life and death of these people were left to the junior brothers and sisters to decide.
Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan first asked about their respective sects and investigated the evil deeds they had done. Then they sent people to their respective sects to discuss together how to deal with these mid-level cultivators who had violated the great taboo of cultivators and robbed the people of their money.
Although human laws allow them to be executed directly, they are, after all, cultivators from various major sects. The sects have taken great pains to train their disciples and have consumed a large amount of materials, so they cannot be dealt with as simply as ordinary people.
The various sects that received the notice sent out highly respected people to inquire about the matter.
Xiao Yun and Li Menghan came forward and talked to the heads or elders of these sects. After our bank negotiated, he not only paid the fine but also redeemed their disciples.
At the same time, the head of the sect should give a letter of guarantee. These criminal disciples must be severely punished. At the same time, they should be guaranteed that these criminal cultivators will no longer be allowed to leave the sect and use travel as an excuse to harm the people everywhere, as well as harm low-level cultivators.
Most of the leaders of these sects were very reasonable. They expressed deep regret for the crimes committed by the evil disciples in their sects, took the initiative to pay the fines, made promises, and finally took the people away.
However, some of the sect leaders and stewards were extremely evil, so they did not think that robbing wealth was unforgivable. Instead, they thought that Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan were making a fuss and meddling in other people's business.
There were even some who were unreasonable and wanted to cause trouble for Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan, asking them to compensate the injured disciples and demanding a large number of level ten pills as compensation.
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people. I have seen unreasonable people, but I have never seen such a leader and deacon who bullies the weak and does not distinguish right from wrong.
Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan did not indulge them. If there were any unreasonable ones, they would be detained on the spot. They would not be released until they admitted their mistakes, gave written guarantees, and paid the full amount of fines. Otherwise, these unreasonable leaders and deacons would also be detained.
This matter was handled very quickly. Prince Jiayang never expected that the most mysterious part of his remaining power, which had just been expanded with great difficulty, would be arrested and brought to justice.
Although Prince Jiayang was arrested, he still had hope of being rescued. He had many hopes. Previously, he had placed his hopes on those middle-level cultivators who were robbing outside. But now that hope was shattered, he placed his hopes on those confidants who were doing business everywhere. He hoped that when they came back, they would find out that he had been arrested and would find ways to rescue him.
The third prince and the fourth prince re-screened all the suspicious persons inside the palace.
In addition to the palace maid who drugged the old king and the servant who liaised with her to deliver the poison, there were also several people sent by Prince Jiayang who were involved in the transmission of messages.
Except for two palace maids who were hiding their identities, all the others were captured.
The two maids were not exposed because they had never done anything to harm the king, nor did they participate in the transmission of information. They concealed their identities very well.
However, the identities of these two palace maids have been discovered by the third and fourth princes.
However, they kept a trick. Apart from the spies who had been found to have problems, they did not arrest the two palace maids directly or disturb them. Instead, after confirming their identities, they temporarily let the two palace maids continue to work undercover here.
The reason is that if the spies here are eliminated too completely, Prince Jiayang's confidants will definitely not be resigned and will send more spies. As long as Prince Jiayang is not convicted and sentenced to death, they will always have hope.
Therefore, it would be better to keep these two secret pawns, so that Prince Jiayang's confidants would mistakenly believe that there are two more spies hiding in the palace.
At the same time, Li Mohan and Xiao Yunyan were not idle either. They used their medical skills to heal many injured soldiers and taught them some simple defense techniques. The soldiers were grateful to them, which made the two feel very relieved.
Prince Jiayang was not someone who would easily admit defeat. Although he had not achieved his goal, he was very confident. Apart from him, the other three brothers were not ambitious and were not as capable as him.
It doesn’t matter if this operation failed. He plans not to mobilize a large number of people to besiege the palace next time.
He wanted to find the magicians and sorcerers who knew how to cast spells for help. As long as he could convince them, he could sneak into the palace and plant spells and poison insects on the king. Whichever magician succeeded, he could make the king obey him.
In a small courtyard with two entrances in Haribamu Kyoto, four sorcerers and five witches gathered together.
Their original team had 52 people. Now there are only these nine people left.
Ever since they were bewitched into helping Qin Zheng, the Second Prince, and Crown Prince Jiayang do these evil things, their group has been ruthlessly attacked by righteous cultivators and suffered severe damage many times.
Moreover, afterward, they would suffer backlash without realizing it. There were many such mages who suddenly became seriously ill and had no cure, and eventually died.
It turned out that these people were a group. Among the fifty-two wizards, there were sorcerers, poison masters, ghost exorcists, and zombie masters. They were all great wizards with extraordinary abilities and highly respected by their peers. Now there were only nine of them left.
Every day, they had everything from fine wine and delicious food to money and supplies to beautiful women and slaves. As long as they wanted, Prince Jiayang would satisfy them. Although their lives were much more comfortable than before, such days made them even more worried.
They were faced with a difficult decision. They knew that the old king, as the ruler of a country, had a strong destiny, and if they forcibly used magic to destroy his destiny, they would surely suffer a backlash.
As night fell, in the shadows of the hall, the sorcerer and the poison master sat facing each other silently. Their eyes revealed hesitation and uneasiness. The sorcerer tightly grasped the magic weapon in his hand, while the poison master stared at the poisonous insect, his heart full of contradictions.
"Are we really going to do this?" The sorcerer broke the silence, his voice low and hoarse.
The Gu Master nodded slightly, "This is our mission, but the old king's fate..."
They all knew that although there were some problems with the old king's rule, his luck was still strong. Forcibly destroying his luck might lead to unpredictable consequences.
"But if we don't take action, how can we complete the mission? Prince Jiayang won't keep idle people." There was a hint of helplessness in the sorcerer's voice.
The Gu Master pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Perhaps, we can find other ways, and we don't necessarily have to use magic to solve it."
The sorcerer raised his head, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, "What do you have in mind?"
The Gu Master smiled slightly, "We can use people's hearts to disintegrate the old king's rule from within."
After hearing this, the sorcerer fell into deep thought. Although this method has less risk, it requires more time and patience.
Finally, they decided to give up using magic and look for other ways. In the following days, they secretly planned to control the ministers of Haribam's court and the influential scholars in the folk through magic and poisonous insects, control their thoughts and speech, incite the aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen to oppose the old king's rule, and make them support Prince Jiayang to inherit the throne immediately. They used the method of controlling people's hearts and public opinion to achieve their goals.
However, their actions did not escape the eyes of the old king and the third and fourth princes.
The old king noticed their intentions, and his health was getting better and better, so he could go to court and handle state affairs.
