Chapter 430 The Man Behind the Scenes (Part 4)



The three of them came out of the secret passage and entered the interior of the fort.

The patrolling Ten Directions Sect member was suddenly startled and shouted loudly: "Who is it?!"

The people around heard the noise and quickly gathered around, surrounding the three people.

The cloth-clothed man pointed at the group of believers and said slowly, "You tricked me into coming here? Is this how you treat guests?"

This person was Chu Yu.

Upon hearing this, the two men in black behind him took two steps forward and showed their tokens. The believers looked terrified and quickly put away their weapons and saluted respectfully.

Chu Yu sneered, carrying the box and following the two of them to the Gong family's clan hall.

………

Hongnong County.

The people who brought back the message were the Hedong Army and two Wei scouts beside Yuan Jin. They entered through the north gate without alerting anyone else.

After reading the letter, Yuan Jing didn't know what to say.

It seems that they planned for a long time but ended up with nothing.

He handed the letter to Guo Xiu, "Ajin said it's called the Ten Directions Sect. Miss Wei and Gong Chun seem to know about this religion and have a feud."

Guo Xiu read the letter at a glance and did not express his opinion for a long time.

It seems that the Wei family is involved in this matter. This matter cannot be concealed and other people must be notified as soon as possible.

The princess is still there, so we can't lose the big picture for the sake of small gains.

Guo Xiu bowed and asked, "Your Highness, please give your orders."

Yuan Jing nodded, "I'll leave this matter to you. Order General Shi to reorganize all the troops and attack Qichuan!"

When all the forces received the news, they were all shocked.

King Cheng'an was the first to respond.

If anyone dares to plot against him, I would be a ungentleman if I don't take revenge.

After many days, the monsters in the vicinity were almost cleared out, and contact with Lu's County had been restored. When the Gong family learned that their hometown had been robbed, they were extremely angry.

He even said bluntly: "If the Dou family and the Fan family stand by and watch, then this alliance is forfeit!"

There is no reason for the two families to disagree.

This matter concerns the Hongnong granary and is closely related to the interests of everyone.

Only by eliminating the enemy can they take back the granary.

Therefore, the people in Hongnong County quickly reached a consensus, quickly reorganized their troops, and marched towards Qichuan in three directions.

The wind and clouds are surging.

The zombie tide in Hongnong County is still spreading outward. Except for the hundreds of thousands of zombies that have been chased to Huayin County and near Lu's County, the rest are wandering in every corner of the country.

How could such a big move be concealed? The scouts who were gathering information nearby rushed back to report.

It's not just the Wei family's scouts lurking in the dark.

There are two other groups of people.

The world outside changes every day.

The scenery along the way exudes a strong sense of spring.

All things revive, the ice and snow melt, and tender buds emerge from the cracks, gently wiping away all traces of blood and gore.

But a new bloody storm is about to come.

Gongjiawu Fort.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door. After a while, there was movement at the door and the door was slowly opened.

Gong Zong raised his head and looked towards the place where the light came from.

Because it was backlit, I could only see a tall figure standing at the door.

The face is slightly blurry, but extremely familiar.

The six people who had been imprisoned for a long time were finally taken care of and were able to see the light of day again.

But after seeing the face of the person who opened the door, the six people sitting on the ground suddenly lost their color.

Dou Baye's eyes widened in disbelief. "It's you!"

"It's me." The man replied nonchalantly.

He slowly stepped into the dim room, and his figure became clearer and clearer.

Although he is over fifty years old, his figure is still upright.

His black hair had turned gray and was casually draped behind him, but his uneven beard had been carefully trimmed. The wrinkles between his brows were slightly heavy, and his phoenix eyes were deep and cold, with a hint of majesty and solemnity.

After the shock.

Gong Zong stood up casually and sneered, "I never imagined that the person who would resort to such a vicious scheme to persecute the people of our Sizhou would be the upright and selfless Minister of Agriculture."

Grand Minister of Agriculture - Cao Mingyuan.

He is in charge of the world's granaries and is also Wei Minglun's immediate superior.

If there was anyone who knew the Yuan Dynasty’s grain reserves best, it must be the court’s Minister of Agriculture.

Gong Zong was incredibly clever; he immediately understood what was going on and said coldly, "Then it seems the thefts from the five granaries before the disaster must be linked to the Grand Minister of Agriculture."

Upon hearing this, Cao Mingyuan did not deny it, it was indeed him.

Otherwise, where would the food come from to support the Ten Directions Sect’s uprisings in various places?

Not only that, he also framed the Second Prince.

His Majesty had originally intended to pass the throne to the Second Prince, and thought that the person behind the conspiracy was his most beloved son, so he did not continue to investigate, and the matter eventually came to nothing.

This move chilled the hearts of many old ministers.

The world is becoming increasingly chaotic and natural disasters are occurring frequently.

Your Majesty, however, has ignored the common people in order to protect his beloved son. If the Second Prince ascends the throne in the future, then this world...

Several old ministers, led by Duke Wei, resigned in anger.

Dou Baye murmured, "Why? Why would Lord Cao do this?"

"Why?" Cao Mingyuan smiled calmly, "Of course, it's to redress the injustice done to my master."

Mr. Dou Ba was clearly asking why the monsters attacked the granary and why they wanted to capture the six of them.

But his answer was so vague that even Gong Zong didn't react.

Cao Mingyuan felt bored for a moment, like playing the lute to a cow. He waved towards the door and said, "Take everyone out."

The believers rushed into the house as ordered, tied up the six people and took them all out of the cell.

Gong Zong and others did not resist because resistance was useless.

As they passed each other, Gong Zong turned his head and asked again, "What does Lord Cao want to do?"

Coming from a noble family, he is very sensitive to the situation.
