Chapter 171 The Storm is Coming



Ye had already prepared some supervisory positions in advance and told them on the spot.

Almost all the work on the construction site was handed over to local officials.

This relieved the governor and Wei Guang of any suspicion.

With these positions, you can control the entire river embankment construction work.

You can even place assassins among the craftsmen at will.

As soon as you find the right opportunity, assassinate immediately.

The Governor and Wei Guang were delighted.

He quickly thanked her, "Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. I will definitely not let you down."

With a smile on his face, Yuye took the hands of the two and said, "It's right to think so!

When you are in office, you should benefit the people.

As long as the riverbank can be repaired, this prince will definitely ask the emperor to help you."

"Thank you, Your Highness! It's getting late. Your Highness has worked hard all day. Please rest quickly. We will not disturb you any further."

Having achieved my goal, I certainly didn't want to stay any longer.

Say goodbye and leave quickly.

They have to make some plans as soon as they get back.

Since we are going to assassinate someone, we must succeed in one go.

This concerns everyone's name.

As soon as the official left, Ye's face immediately turned gloomy.

"It looks like they can't wait!"

"Let me say that it is better to strike first and arrest these guys and torture them severely.

Just confess that he wanted to assassinate His Highness.

You can put them in jail!" Lin Yue said bluntly.

Ye was so confused that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "That won't work. How can we torture officials without evidence?

Besides, if we file a complaint together, we can say that we were forced to confess.

Even if we are right, it will become unreasonable."

"What Ye said is absolutely correct. We still need sufficient evidence to deal with these officials.

But we are fully prepared.

As long as they take action, they can get evidence of the crime."

Princess Ruyue said.

Ye stretched lazily and said: "I'm tired after a day, let's eat and go to bed quickly.

I continued to inspect the riverbank every day."

Shi Wushuang and Qin Qingxue were also exhausted after a day of rescuing the disaster victims.

Their method is very simple.

It means leading disciples to distribute some food and provide medical treatment to the sick.

In fact, it doesn't cost much money, but you can get a lot of praise.

But suddenly, Emperor Wu Ye distributed disaster relief grain to all the people with the surname Wu.

As long as people can work, they can not only have enough to eat, but also earn enough food to support their families.

Even if there is no labor force in the family, the victims can still eat four or five meals a day and at least they will not starve to death.

For the people affected by the disaster, this is the last thing they can ask for.

As a result, the effectiveness of Shi Wushuang's method of selling porridge on credit to others was suddenly weakened a lot.

Moreover, he can only see a few patients every day.

Most of the people's attention was focused on building the river embankment.

Even those who came to get porridge or see a doctor always talked about the Sixth Prince.

I put in a lot of effort, but the results are getting worse and worse.

This made Shi Wushuang lose his motivation all of a sudden.

Especially when I heard that the construction of the river embankment had already begun, I immediately thought that the prince's men might be about to take action.

He immediately took Qin Qingxue back to his residence.

Qin Qingxue was still confused: "It's not even dark yet, why are you going back so early?"

Shi Wushuang whispered, "Since Emperor Wuye started building the river embankment, it has affected the vital interests of all officials, which is equivalent to cutting off their source of income.

Local officials will certainly not give up.

We'll see, maybe they've already started planning how to deal with you."

"The ones who did it were local officials, what does this have to do with us?

I think we should continue to help the victims.

As long as I can gain a good reputation, returning to the court will be a great thing."

Qin Qingxue knew the seriousness of the crime of assassinating the prince and did not want Shi Wushuang to get involved.

Shi Wushuang couldn't let go of his revenge for his broken arm, and hatred flashed in his eyes: "This assassination operation must not fail! To be honest, I don't really believe the killer sent by the prince.

Even if there are local officials to help cover up, Ye is not stupid.

He will definitely be fully prepared.

If the assassination is successful, everyone will be happy and someone will bear all the responsibilities.

But if the assassination fails, I cannot sit idly by.

I will personally deal with it."

"I think that since the plan has been so thorough, these officials will not act unless they are confident.

We might as well just watch from the sidelines."

"No, we must make it absolutely certain! If this assassination attempt fails, I'm afraid we'll never find another chance to kill Ye.

His existence is a huge danger to both us and Yunlu Pavilion."

Qin Qingxue really couldn't persuade him, and sighed helplessly in her heart.

Her fate is already tied to Yunlu Pavilion.

Shi Wushuang's broken arm must have had a huge impact on his reputation.

Once they lose their effect, neither the Crown Prince nor the Third Prince will care about them anymore.

The only way is to kill Ye and get rid of this powerful enemy.

With his unparalleled talent, he thrived in the imperial court.

"Well then, we have to dress up! We must not reveal our identities even if we take action."

Qin Qingxue gritted her teeth and agreed.

As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger. As long as you kill Ye, you will have endless wealth and glory in the future.

"Of course. Yunlu Pavilion's disguise skills are unparalleled in the world. There's absolutely no way anyone could recognize us."

Shi Wushuang has also made preparations to recharge.

A makeup expert was called in in advance.

Not long after returning home, Shi Wushuang received new news again.

"What did you say? Did Ye take away all the officials' carriages?

How could I possibly agree to such an unreasonable request?"

Shi Wushuang was very surprised.

In his view, doing so would be tantamount to humiliating all officials in person.

After all, if an official travels without a carriage, wouldn’t he be ridiculed?

Once the authority is exhausted, it will be impossible to enforce orders.

"The local officials have already agreed and sent the carriages over.

Not even the livestock at home were left behind, as all were sent to the Governor's Office.

I heard that the Sixth Prince wants to use these carriages and animals to transport stones for river embankment construction."

Shi Wushuang thought for a moment, then showed a cruel smile on his face.

"I understand! Ye was very happy and wanted to repair the riverbank as soon as possible.

As long as people don't starve to death, we can block the broken river.

The disaster relief can be declared completed.

He could even return to the court immediately to receive his reward.

But for all the officials, they had to agree to Ye's request.

It's just to make him let down his guard.

Good at looking for opportunities to assassinate.

I guess that's absolutely right.

We also have to prepare quickly.

Maybe the Tiantian Assassin will take action!"

Shi Wushuang's face was full of excitement after he finished the analysis.

The loss of his arm was a huge blow to him, and his heart had already begun to twist.

Ye even became his inner demon.

If he fails to kill Ye and avenge himself as soon as possible, his personality will become even more distorted.
