Chapter 1264: There's more to come?
Prince Yan's Mansion.
"How is the situation in the city?"
After dinner, Shen Siyue checked the subtle sword intent in his mind. It had almost dissipated by itself and was expected to disappear completely by tomorrow morning.
"Your Highness, it is exceptionally quiet tonight, as if there is a curfew. Even those brothels are closed."
The masked man answered truthfully.
"Oh? It seems that Sixth Brother's knife did scare quite a few people."
"Four candidates were arrested, but those scholars said nothing?"
Shen Siyue asked with interest.
There are small groups everywhere. In the court, ministers are parties, and in Tianwu City, young ladies and masters are circles.
To offend one of them is to offend the entire group.
He remembered correctly that Qi Shang had a good relationship with He Ji, the nephew of Prime Minister He Fangyi, and the other three people who were arrested were all from the same hometown.
With such a big thing happening, would He Ji and others not do anything at all?
Furthermore, these arrested candidates are all He Fangyi’s fellow townsmen and juniors. Will he really stand idly by?
Even if we don't care about Qi Shang, will we not care about the other three too?
"Your Highness, no. The rumors outside are so bad that I'm sure they wouldn't dare to say anything for Qi Shang. Besides, Qi Shang bumped into the carriage of the Princess of Chu first, so he is not in the right at all."
The masked man shook his head, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "Your Highness, He Ji went to Lou Chenghou Mansion today, and later he went to Dali Temple, and was then sent back to Lou Chenghou Mansion by people from Dali Temple."
"Lou Chenghou Mansion, are you going to look for Xu You?"
Shen Siyue frowned.
The other party must have wanted to borrow the prestige of the Lou Chenghou Mansion and use their connections to ask the Dali Temple to release the person. The result is obvious: the Dali Temple did not release the person.
When Xu You first came into contact with He Ji, he knew it and did not stop him because he wanted to see if the other party could really use He Ji to hook up with He Fangyi.
If Xu You really did it, he would really use him in the future.
"Your Highness, would you like me to go there?"
The masked man volunteered.
"Don't worry about it for now, let's see what happens."
Shen Siyue waved her hand.
He Ji borrowed the connections of Lou Chenghou Mansion to go to Dali Temple, so Lou Chenghou Mansion was involved in this matter.
There is no need to worry even if the people are not released. After all, behind He Ji and Xu You are He Fangyi, Lou Chenghou and Xu Jun.
If the young one isn’t enough, there’s the old one too.
After reporting He Ji's whereabouts, the masked man mentioned the northwest corner of Tianwu City, but due to the blockade, the specific situation inside was unknown.
Shen Siyue was not too surprised by this. Many of the people that her sixth brother wanted to kill were hiding there. Moreover, her father had once planned to clean up the northwest corner.
"Your Highness, the Fifth Prince is currently negotiating with Liu Rudi, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple, outside the Dali Temple."
Another masked man appeared, half-knelt on the ground and reported.
"Fifth brother has already gone there. Let's go and take a look."
Shen Siyue said without hesitation.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
at the same time.
Outside the main entrance of Dali Temple.
Shen Tengfeng was still struggling with Liu Rudi.
In the distance, Shen Yian was watching this side from afar, with no intention of showing up at all.
Through spiritual perception, the third brother Shen Siyue got on a carriage and left the palace. It was obvious that he had learned the news and was heading to the Dali Temple.
By then, the three people on the scene will have a total of 800 ideas in mind. Wouldn't it be a good show?
"Your Highness."
Behind Shen Yian, Yin Zai's figure suddenly emerged from the darkness.
Except for a few hidden soldiers who stayed behind to protect the old man, the white soldiers, black soldiers and others had all evacuated to the northwest corner.
Now the northwest corner and Shadow Tianwu City have been taken over by the Wuwei Division.
Yin Zai was at the headquarters of the Jucai Sect. He did not find out much information about the forces behind it, but he did find out other interesting things.
Shen Yian took the copper coin from Yin Zai's hand, rubbed it twice, and his eyes changed: "Fake?"
The copper coin casting process of Daqian was very complicated, mainly to prevent private casting by the public.
The copper coin in my hand is the same as a real copper coin in terms of weight and appearance, but if you rub it carefully, you can still feel the difference between the two.
It is obvious that the casting process of the fake copper coins is not very good, and some subtle details are not handled well.
Even so, it's still very scary.
If there is a string of copper coins, and there are some real and some fake among them, who would check them one by one?
If a large number of fake copper coins flood into the market, the consequences will be disastrous.
Even though he usually spends money in the form of silver notes and small change, in Daqian, copper coins are the basic currency and the main currency in the hands of every citizen.
I thought that the entire Jucai Sect relied on that one treasure bowl for their livelihood, but I didn't expect that there was such a big conspiracy hidden in secret.
"No mother coin or minting tools were found?"
Shen Yian's voice sank slightly.
"Reporting to Your Highness, nothing was found."
Hidden Disaster shook his head and continued, "We found a secret passage, but it has completely collapsed due to the battle. We don't know where it leads to. They must have transported all the things away in advance through the secret passage."
"This is bad. The main thing is the mother coin and the people who carve it. The minting equipment is not important."
Shen Yian rubbed his eyebrows.
After all, there is a cultivation system in this world. The five senses and physical fitness of those who practice cultivation are far superior to those of ordinary people. Correspondingly, with their skills and strength, it becomes easier to forge some things.
However, most experts don't pay much attention to this.
After working hard to make counterfeit money, you will probably be caught and beheaded by the Wuwei Division before you can spend much of it. It would be better to find a powerful force to serve as a worshipper and enjoy a good life.
Looking at the counterfeit money in his hand, Shen Yian became more and more certain that the power behind the Jucai Sect was the "Honorable Lord".
If the "Lord" and the hidden forces behind him want to take action, first Daqian must be in chaos, and then they must wait for an opportunity to jump out.
Now the Man Kingdom is fighting fiercely with the Guting Kingdom and the Cang Kingdom. This is an opportunity, and perhaps the only opportunity.
If we continue to drag it out, Daqian will surely become stronger during this period of relaxation.
What a bunch of lunatics.
Shen Yian frowned.
He was a little confused about what the "Lord" was planning.
It can't be that the "Master" is really a woman who can't love her own father and turns love into hate!
Depend on!
The old man already has a harem, so one more or one less won’t make much difference.
Is she a yandere? Must she have a one-on-one pure love relationship?
While Shen Yian was lost in thought, his consciousness quickly extended in all directions, trying to find the other person.
"found it."
After a moment, Shen Yian's eyes fixed.
"Your Highness, I will go now."
Hidden disaster volunteered.
"No, we don't have to worry about it anymore."
Shen Yian shook his head and said.
He was able to find it so quickly thanks to one person. It would have been hard for him not to notice it.
On the other side, a path in the forest.
In front of the rushing convoy, a figure on horseback slowly appeared.
Ning Jin rode on a horse, holding the musket [Yan Jin] in one hand and aiming it at the caravan. He exhaled hot air lightly, and red flames ignited on the musket.
