Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 198 Are you crazy? Is it really a punishment from heaven? (5)

There was a long silence in Rongqing Hall, and Jia Mu finally came back to her senses.

Looking at everyone Lai who was still standing respectfully, he waved his hands and said.

"Okay, now that the news has been sent back, go and find Ma Daopo."

"At the same time, please ask me carefully to find out what happened. Is it really what you said?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and left quickly.

The atmosphere just now was too depressing.

After the Lai family left, my mother looked at Mrs. Wang's gloomy face and said.

"Stop that dead look on your face. Even if the news that everyone is telling you is true, it just means that this plan has failed."

"You have to understand that that kid took out high-yielding grain seeds and offended too many people. There will be many people who want to deal with him. What can we do if we just let him be arrogant for a few days?"

"Yes, yes, if His Majesty the Emperor loses these high-yielding grain seeds, he will definitely send people out to sea to search for them. Then everyone will contribute a little bit to see if we can arrange our people there and try our best to get these high-yielding grain seeds. Come back a few years late.”

"Boy, how long can you enjoy the prosperity in front of you?"

Everyone looked at him instantly as if they were enlightened.

"This is the general trend. If you insist on going against the general trend, you will inevitably be crushed by this rolling general trend. You can hide for a while, but you cannot hide for the rest of your life."

"As for continuing to attack that kid, you must not do it."

He also smiled and said.

"It seems that this high-yielding grain seed is really favored by luck. I'm afraid no one can take action against him. Anyway, if you can't take action against the high-yielding grain seed, these people will not let that kid go. Let's see next Can they handle this kid?"

"Anyway, today's incident should have some impact on him."

"You must understand that although I value your profession more, I have to consider the entire Jia family."

"Don't worry, everyone, since we are acting together, it is impossible for me to monopolize the benefits. I have already ordered my men to destroy high-yielding grain seeds if they can be destroyed, and take them away if they cannot be destroyed. At that time, our major families will use their own We can plant high-yielding grain seeds on our land and sell them at normal prices, and the end result will be a huge profit for us."

As soon as this person finished speaking.

Everyone's eyes lit up. Before, they only thought about destroying the food seeds, and nothing would change.

"It was an accident that the reputation problem was solved this time. If it happens again, it may not be able to be solved."

When he was the only one left in the room, the old lady sighed.

Prince Beijing and his party were eating and drinking in the Fan Tower.

"It won't take too long. As long as we can get back five years, we can be ready for everything. If we can get back ten years, it won't have any impact on us."

"If you really can't help it, you have to discuss it with me as soon as possible. If I think it's okay, it's not too late for you to take action."

Mrs. Wang calmed down her expression and just nodded silently.

Prince Beijing couldn't help but applaud.

"In this way, as long as we have high-yield grain seeds in our hands, we can surpass all the families in the Great Zhou Empire in five years."

"You are thinking too little. Why are you only thinking about getting high-yielding grain seeds back? We can prevent His Majesty the Emperor from getting high-yielding grain seeds, but we ourselves can also use high-yielding grain seeds. You think if others like this No, we are the only ones who have it, so don’t we have the final say on the price of these high-yielding grain seeds?”

The others laughed too.

They just want to delay the emergence of high-yielding grain seeds for a few years and make adequate preparations.

"It's been such a long time. I think those who came to us have done a great job. This time the high-yielding grain seeds were destroyed. I think your majesty will not be in a good mood. We will go back separately later. Don't let your majesty take it out on us in anger." .”

"Someone will do it for us, so don't get your hands dirty."

"Who says otherwise? Our Emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years, but has not made any decent political achievements. This time, the emergence of high-yielding grain seeds, if promoted in time, will definitely spread his reputation. If we go on, we may even secure this position completely, but it’s a pity that these high-yielding grain seeds will inevitably be short-lived.”

"It's just that the time for this kind of thing to appear is wrong. If it had appeared a few years later, we wouldn't have to destroy it. Now that the thing has been destroyed, there is no point in talking about it. After everyone goes back, they will stay behind closed doors. , but don’t forget that we have other things to do.”

Jia Mu waved her hand and let her leave.

"That's right, so many of our families and thousands of elites are involved in this matter. Even if the imperial village outside the city is really guarded, it is not our opponent. His Majesty the Emperor will definitely be furious after knowing that the high-yielding grain seeds are gone. Angry, let’s avoid its edge.”

My mother knew her daughter-in-law very well, and she would never give up.

It never occurred to them that the plan would fail.

"Either you, Master Fan, have the brains. Your idea is very good. Our family has a lot of industrial land. If we plant high-yielding grain seeds and sell them at the price of other grains, then we will The annual income will be dozens of times higher than in the past.”

So everyone drank a little more. Seeing that the time was almost up, Prince Beijing said with a smile.

So what he just said didn't expect his wife here to actually come to discuss it with him. The only thing he hoped for was to think twice before taking action, so as not to affect him.

But they forgot that if they could control all this kind of thing in their own hands, it would bring them huge benefits.

Because they thought that the high-yielding grain seeds would be destroyed soon, everyone was in a good mood.

at the same time.

"Even if we join forces, we will be able to dominate the lifeline of the Great Zhou Empire."

"There are only a dozen families united this time, but there are so many families who will also be affected by the high-yielding grain seeds. I guess they will also take action against this kid, right?"

"If your unauthorized actions are discovered or cause bad consequences, then don't blame me for being ruthless and asking my second son to lock you up. It is possible that you will even be divorced."

"Wait a minute, Ma Daopo is here, let him see if Baoyu's luck has returned to some extent?"

"This is all thanks to Patriarch Fan. Let me raise a glass to Patriarch Fan."

Everyone raised their glasses to honor the head of the Fan family.

They have been thinking about a bright future for a while. When they have high-yield grain seeds in their hands, they will step by step become the most powerful family and the most powerful existence in the empire.

Even if they are connected together, even the royal family can't do anything to them, right?
At that time, they could even truly become the controllers of this empire.

Thinking of such a future, everyone is very excited.

At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps came, and Prince Beijing said with a smile.

"I have just recovered. No one else is allowed to come up. Only those who report news from outside the city can come. It seems that the good news is coming soon. Let us raise our glasses again and cheer to the great success of our major families."

He raised the wine glass in his hand, and the others also raised it, waiting for the man to come up and deliver the good news, and then drank it all.

But as soon as they raised their glasses, the hurried footsteps there had already arrived upstairs.

Everyone followed the sound and saw that it was the servant arranged by Prince Beijing.

But before they could learn anything, the man knelt on the ground and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, and all your lords, something has happened."

"Something happened to our people. They were all arrested, and more than half of them died. I just watched nearly 500 people being escorted into the city with my own eyes. They have all been arrested now."

"Bang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several people let go of the wine glasses in their hands in shock, letting them fall to the ground with a clang.

It was the sound of the wine glass falling to the ground that woke up the others. Several people were knocked out of their hands and the wine glass fell to the ground.

Although a few people held the wine glasses firmly, they spilled the wine on their hands.

Prince Beijing almost crushed the wine glass in his hand, but it was because the quality of the glass was so good that there was just a mark on it.

But most of the wine had been spilled.

Amidst the continuous sounds, everyone came to their senses, and Prince Beijing couldn't help but say.

"What did you just say?" The servant fell to his knees and lowered his head.

"Reporting to the prince, our 1000 people have been wiped out. According to the news from outside the city, more than half of our people are gone, and the remaining half have been captured and taken into the Yamen, as well as the city guard. Follow with Jin Yiwei."

At this moment, everyone woke up from a dream and finally confirmed that what they just heard was true.

But precisely because these are true, they are even more unbelievable. Even Prince Beijing, who has always been around, you can't help but stand up, walk in front of the servant, and pick him up.

"Are you sure the news you are telling me is true? Do you know what will happen if you dare to lie to me?"

The servant was so frightened that he trembled all over, but he still gritted his teeth and said.

"I don't dare to lie to you. It's really like this. I've found someone to confirm it. It's true that none of the 1000 people sent out this time came back. At least half of them died, and less than half of the remaining ones were captured. Woke up."

"And based on the news, it can be determined that they were not caught directly by others, but were punished by God."

Prince Beijing frowned when he heard this and threw the person away.

After the person fell to the ground, he frowned and snorted coldly.

"If something goes wrong, it means something goes wrong. If they were punished by God, could it be possible that they were caught? Or was it God's help?"

Although the servant was in pain, he still knelt on the ground respectfully again, lowered his head and spoke with a trembling voice.

"It's true, Prince, I didn't lie to you. You can ask others to inquire again. I have already confirmed that our 1000 people did not approach the Imperial Village at all. They experienced various accidents outside the device. In the end, The whole army was wiped out."

Prince Beijing became even more angry, feeling that this man was still lying to him, but several other families felt that this servant did not dare to lie to them like this.

One of them stood up and stopped him and said.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Listen to what he has to say. Besides, we have also sent people to investigate. I think it won't be long before news comes."

Seeing that Prince Beijing stopped talking, the man continued to the servant.

"Tell me what's going on? Tell me everything you know."

The servant breathed a sigh of relief and continued to kneel, not daring to look at the person.

"I have sent people to inquire about the news outside the city, but it will take some time for the news outside the city to come back. However, according to the news obtained from the soldiers who came back, we can know that our people encountered direct encounters after going outside the city. Damn it.”

"Although the legend is somewhat exaggerated, the specific situation can be known."

"They were accidentally struck by lightning at the beginning, and then they were attacked by a group of wild beasts and lost hundreds of people. Then they were attacked by an earth dragon. A big hole appeared in the ground, and they all fell in. Only then were they all captured. Caught."

Although what the servant said was very certain, no one present believed it.

How could things be such a coincidence? If it was really a lightning strike and a beast attack, and an earth dragon turned over, it would definitely be a divine punishment.

But how could Tianqian find these people? This is absolutely impossible.

Prince Beijing was even more angry.

But without him opening his mouth, there were a bunch of footsteps coming downstairs one after another.

He knew that his subordinates who should have been arranged by others were also back.

Therefore, Prince Beijing snorted coldly.

"If you dare to lie to me, just find a place to bury yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people ran up in panic. When they saw their respective families, they all told them all the information they had heard.

"Master, all of our people have been arrested. No, no, we can't say that we have all been arrested. A small number of them have been arrested, and the rest should be gone."

"Master, the same goes for our people. Except for those who were caught, the rest should be gone. I heard they were punished by God."

"Brother, you don't know. I asked someone to find out. I heard that the people we sent were miserable. They were struck by lightning and attacked by wild beasts. In the end, they were about to attack. As a result, one The earth dragon turned over and the whole army was wiped out."

"It's so tragic. You didn't see that scene. I went to see it. Head of the family, you would never have thought that our people, as well as people from other major families, although there are three or four hundred people who survived, there are still some Half of them are disabled, some have broken arms, some have broken legs, and some are still bleeding, and I don’t know if they can survive.”

"It is indeed too tragic. This is definitely a punishment from God."

Upon hearing everyone say this, everyone present was dumbfounded.

But they still didn't believe in evil. After questioning them one by one, these people regained some sense and told them what they saw and heard one by one.

After they finished speaking, another group of people ran in, and the news they brought was more accurate.

"We went out of the city specifically to take a look. There were indeed large fire marks around the imperial village, as well as a bunch of wild animals. I even saw them dealing with a big tiger..."

"I just glanced at a huge pothole near Zhuangzi from a distance. The people in Zhuangzi were moving corpses out of the hole one by one. The corpses were all men in black, and they should be our people. "

"I also saw it. That building is so big and deep. There's no way it was dug out. It must have been an earth dragon turning over."

After two groups of people confirmed it, everyone finally believed it, but after believing this fact, everyone was silenced.

If they said that these people were killed by hidden masters, or that His Majesty the Emperor had already prepared to surround and kill them with thousands of troops, they would only say that His Majesty the Emperor had already prepared.

But now they are told that their people have been punished by God, and the facts are there and cannot be refuted.

At this moment, an idea came to their minds at the same time.

It seems that God wants to extend this high-yield grain value to the entire Zhou Empire. It is a destiny that cannot be violated.

Prince Beijing knew that it was no longer possible to destroy this high-yielding grain seed.

Not to mention other people, even I didn't dare to do it. This time the Heavenly Sent was targeting the person who did it. If he did it again, he would be punished by God and he would be killed directly.

Unless he was crazy, he would never do something like this again.

"I think you all have figured it out. Regardless of whether this divine punishment is true or false, we can't gamble."

"Since the promotion of high-yielding grain seeds is inevitable, everyone should make preparations."

"I still have something to do at home, so I'll take my leave first."

After Prince Beijing finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Others also knew that their plan was a complete failure, and no one would have this idea again in the future.

So each of them took their own people and left Fan Lou silently.

Since the promotion of high-yielding grain seeds is inevitable, they naturally have to go back and act quickly to reduce their losses.

At the same time, many family forces who originally wanted to take action on high-yielding grain seeds fell silent after the news was made.

After all, so many people were caught alive this time, so the authenticity of the news can be verified quickly.

Everyone is waiting for specific news to come out.

People with great supernatural powers have sent people into the Yamen and other places to inquire about these people's gossip. When the news came out, although there was a way out of the rumors, everyone was sure of one thing at this moment.

This is indeed a divine punishment.

So from this moment on, all the nobles and big families of the Great Zhou Empire reached a consensus.

High-yielding grain seeds are what God wants to promote. Anyone who dares to take action will be punished by God.

It was also because of this accident that everyone stopped making plans.

At this time, Ma Daopo finally came to Rongguo Mansion again.

Jia Mu did not immediately ask about luck, but asked about her curiosity.

"I guess you have also heard about what happened outside the city today. Can you tell me whether this incident is really a punishment from God?"
