Inside a private residence in Qiaomaifang, the atmosphere was so heavy it seemed to drip water.
Just now, the imperial envoy and the prefect arrived in a grand procession to "clarify the facts" in front of many ordinary people.
It is not easy for a sorcerer to manipulate people on a large scale; the target must have strong emotions, and then the sorcerer must guide them.
The fact that they were minting inferior currency was an open secret in Bailu County, which provided them with excellent conditions.
Whenever news spread that the imperial envoy had learned the truth and intended to severely punish Prince Rui and the officials, it would trigger strong panic among the people.
With just a little guidance, a popular uprising could be instigated.
When the word "rebel" comes down, officials and troops alike will have no choice but to rebel.
But now, the imperial envoy is personally endorsing Prince Rui and the governor, spreading rumors that the minting of inferior coins is completely unfounded.
Yan Wujiu frowned deeply.
They've brought the conflict into the open; they have no choice but to admit they're involved in minting inferior currency.
Given that prince's personality, how could he possibly make the decision to support Prince Rui immediately, knowing that this was a crime that would shake the foundation of the country?
Yan Wujiu had calculated her character well; he didn't need to confront her directly, just stall for half a day, and that would be enough to complete his plan.
What exactly went wrong?
Yan Wujiu closed his eyes and concentrated, his fingers unconsciously moving as he deduced the secrets of heaven.
As the hexagram first appeared, the mind suddenly plunged into a chaotic abyss, where only mist obscured the vision and dragons coiled around the body.
Keep your mind focused on cultivating your inner self and do your utmost to overcome the illusions here.
Finally, the clouds and fog cleared, and looking back, I was astonished to see thousands of layers of spider webs woven on the dome.
Unbeknownst to him, he was already imprisoned, his soul bound by silken threads, clearly destined to become a dish on a plate!
In an instant, his soul trembled, and he hurriedly broke free of his shackles.
Hmm...
With a muffled groan, bright red blood suddenly surged to his cheeks, and a sweet taste in his throat caused him to involuntarily spit out a mouthful of blood!
"Senior brother, how are you!" This appearance clearly indicates that the situation was caused by excessive and forced estimation.
Yan Wujiu finally caught his breath; he was soaked through inside and out.
The color drained from his face rapidly, leaving it as pale as paper.
His usual air of confidence and composure was gone; his eyes trembled, and he looked utterly lost.
"Senior brother, senior brother..."
Amidst repeated calls, Yan Wujiu finally came to his senses.
"Senior brother, what did you calculate?"
Yan Wujiu pursed his lips tightly.
He had already received the latest intelligence: the leader of the Tianyan Sect had entered Fengjing, and it was absolutely impossible for Chu Xinglan, the official in charge of the Ziwei Terrace, to leave the capital.
Even if some methods were planned in advance, they would have been exhausted by the time of the assassination attempt in Longmen County.
He had absolute confidence in the poison he had prepared; without using his trump card, he had no chance of surviving.
That's why Yan Wujiu chose to continue his attack.
Why did an unexpected event occur when everything was predicted to go smoothly before the action was taken?
Thinking of the scene he had glimpsed through his spiritual platform, Yan Wujiu narrowed his eyes.
Could he have become a pawn in someone else's scheme? This question lingered in my mind for a long time.
There are very few people in the world who can outwit him. Yan Wujiu believes that he is invincible in deduction at the third-grade level, and it is impossible for him to lose two games in a row.
If that's the case... Second Rank!
No regrets, time to set off.
"Senior brother, we may still have a chance."
They cannot remain vigilant indefinitely; assassinating just one imperial heir will eventually incite chaos.
"Leave first, I need to think about it."
"yes……"
Led by Qin Zhaoqiong, Prince Rui, and Yan Wenyuan, they braved the rain and traveled through all forty-nine wards of Bailu County.
In addition, letters to the surrounding counties have already been sent out and should arrive today.
Considering the possibility of being intercepted, the order was given to return on the same day.
If a branch fails to return, it indicates where the problem might lie.
The busy work lasted until 7 PM, and everyone dragged their tired feet back to the prefectural government office.
The huge government office is now bustling with activity, as many officials' relatives and children have arrived.
The main hall and the rear hall were completely cleared out, and even the offices of the six departments on the left and right were converted into residences. Except for the prison in the southwest corner, all of them were put to use.
The area north of the rear hall belonged to the inner quarters, which was also the allocated private residence of the governor, including bedrooms, a study, and a garden, with a wall separating the public and private areas.
At this time, it was naturally offered up, specifically for the noble person to rest.
However, the house was limited in size, so after discussion, Qin Zhaoqiong and her sister were assigned a bedroom.
Qin Zhaoyue had nothing to complain about; it was safer to live with her sister.
This small private residence is full of hidden talents, including three Divine Martial Realm experts, five Fourth Rank Realm experts, and countless Fifth and Sixth Rank experts, making it extremely safe.
Today, the tone has been set in advance: according to Yin Zhe, it is impossible for sorcerers to manipulate people's minds on a large scale.
In places like Bailu County, where the government has a strong grip on power, mere rumors can't stir up any trouble.
When Prince Rui went on his trip, he also brought two precious chefs with him. Although the variety of dishes was limited, the taste was by no means inferior.
Qin Zhaoyue ate until she was stuffed and went back to her room to rest early.
It's a high-level game now, and the average sixth-rank strength of the Ink Group isn't very effective, so we just played some card games with them for a while.
Seeing her carefree and enthusiastic play, Suimo couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, aren't you really worried at all?"
Qin Zhaoyue was playing cards there.
In her past life, she had played mahjong a few times during festivals and holidays, and she especially envied others who could tell what cards were hidden just by rubbing their fingers together.
The skills I didn't learn back then, I don't need to practice anymore now that my perception has greatly improved; I can accurately identify them just by touching them.
Without even thinking, he replied, "Isn't there someone guarding me who won't touch me? If I'm so worried that I don't eat or drink, then no one will come to assassinate me."
Besides, if you were a second or third rank official or something, would I be stuck here putting up with this? I'd have killed them long ago.
Having been repeatedly framed, how could Qin Zhaoyue not harbor hatred in her heart?
Through this period of accumulation, she had already accumulated enough merit points to advance to the fourth rank without any problem, but after careful consideration, she still didn't use them.
Firstly, in high-level games nowadays, there's not much difference between fourth-rank and fifth-rank players.
Advancing to the third-grade Divine Martial Realm requires a full 100,000 merit points, which cannot be accumulated in a short period of time.
Secondly, the transformation from ordinary martial arts to Qi martial arts can be described as a gifted individual, a return to simplicity.
Without even a cultivation technique, how can one's cultivation level increase so rapidly?
She's already exposed enough; a miraculous healing effect just doesn't make sense.
Therefore, Qin Zhaoyue plans to wait until she has saved up another 100,000, learn the cultivation technique, and then advance to the next level in one go.
After playing until Zichu, everyone dispersed.
The key point is that the skill level of the Mo group has improved, so it's not so easy to cheat... no, to win money anymore.
Not long after she lay down, there was a knock on the door, and Qin Zhaoqiong walked in.
The once imposing general was now somewhat flustered, his expression embarrassed.
"Sixth Sister, did I wake you up...?"
