Chapter Fourteen The Three Princes Who Are Rebellious
In Changlehou's Mansion, Master took Ye Sheng into Changlehou's secret room.
"Here are some of the account books of Marquis Changle's work for the third prince." The master said softly.
Ye Sheng sat down, looked carefully, and asked: "What exactly do they do?"
"Fur, medicinal materials, ores, etc." Master said in a low voice after silence.
"Is that all?" Ye Sheng didn't believe that the third prince could give Marquis Changle a rubbing of the prince's token just because of this matter?
Ordinary businessmen can do these things.
The master wanted to speak but stopped.
"Tell me, you and I are on the same boat now. Even if the Third Prince's people come, you will not survive. Under my hands, you can still survive." Ye Sheng said softly, not threatening, just stating the situation.
That's all.
The master looked bitter and said: "Xiao Ke knows that even if I don't say anything, the Third Prince's people won't believe it. Killing me is the safest thing."
"It's good that you know." Ye Sheng said calmly.
"But the Third Prince is too powerful. Xiao Ke doesn't care about life or death. Xiao Ke's family..." the master said bitterly.
"Are you afraid of this third prince?" Ye Sheng asked doubtfully.
"Xiao Ke is from Xianyang in the Qin Dynasty. Because he was admitted to Jinshi, he was recruited by the third prince. He has been with him for several years. He is very familiar with his style of doing things. He can eradicate the roots without leaving any future troubles. He is very knowledgeable in the emperor's mind, but he has no
If he learns the royal way, he will only be domineering." The master said.
"This is a fair evaluation, but I'm not afraid of him." Ye Sheng said confidently.
"Master Hou, where are you from?" Master asked with a look on his face.
"Anyway, he is not younger than your third prince. He is a prince, but he is not the only prince, and he is not even the first in line. There are two princes in front of him. What is there to be afraid of for such a person?
"Ye Sheng said sarcastically.
The master had nothing to say. He did not have the confidence like Ye Sheng, so he asked curiously: "Master Marquis, are you here specifically to deal with the third prince?"
"No, I'm here to unify the entire chaotic land." Ye Sheng narrowed his eyes.
This was the ambition born after he entered the land of chaos.
The master asked him to open an elixir shop in the chaotic land, but after Ye Sheng learned the truth, he found that it was still challenging to unify the entire chaotic land.
Regarding alchemy, as long as he can overwhelm the younger generation of alchemists in Longhu Mountain in a year and a half, that will be enough.
Moreover, Ye Sheng does not regard alchemy as his main career, he still wants to continue to become stronger.
After the master heard this, he looked at Ye Sheng like a fool.
"Master Hou, do you know how many innate masters there are in the chaotic land?" Master asked.
Ye Sheng shook his head, he didn't know.
"At least a hundred or more, plus some masters who are racing in the innate realm, you are only in the eighth level of the day after tomorrow, and you are thinking about unifying the chaotic land?" The master was deeply speechless.
Ye Sheng smiled, not even angry, and said: "Whether it is arrogant words or the truth, we will find out in a year. Please tell me first, what on earth is Marquis Changle doing for the third prince?"
"Two secret things." The master was silent for a while and then spoke.
Ye Sheng looked at him quietly.
"The first thing is human trafficking." Master said softly.
Ye Sheng's eyes narrowed and he said seriously: "He is the third prince and one of the future successors to the throne of Great Qin. He is a human trafficker?"
The master nodded.
"What kind of people are being trafficked?" Ye Sheng asked seriously, thinking that the third prince was crazy.
If this spreads out, his life will be ruined and the reputation of the royal family will be affected.
How dare he do such a dehumanizing thing?
"Trade the women, children, and adult men of Great Qin to the grasslands and give them to the barbarians, barbarians, and the third prince to mine in his own mines." The master sighed.
"Is the quantity large?" Ye Sheng asked with an ugly face.
"Last year, more than 30,000 people were trafficked here." Master told the truth.
"Is this very profitable?" Ye Sheng asked puzzledly.
"It's very profitable, five hundred taels for a child, one thousand taels for a fertile woman, and one thousand five hundred taels for an adult man." The master nodded.
"Then he makes crazy money, but he is a prince and needs money?" Ye Sheng frowned.
"It's lacking, it's very lacking." Master nodded firmly.
Ye Sheng listened silently.
"The third prince has raised an army outside the Great Wall, with 8,000 people. All of these 8,000 people are practitioners, and the leaders are all innate masters. The daily consumption is tens of thousands taels, even if the third prince's family wealth
No matter how big it is, it can't withstand such consumption, and this is just one of them. The third prince is wining over officials all over the Qin Dynasty, making friends with local powerful people, using generous means, and making money like water. Every day, he spends hundreds of thousands of taels. This is what I did before.
The accounts that have been with him for several years will definitely increase several times in the past few years." The master said bluntly.
"He raises troops privately, is he seeking death?" Ye Sheng snorted coldly.
The laws of the Qin Dynasty strictly stipulate that when a prince raises private soldiers, he will be given a glass of poisonous wine.
This is a rule set by the founding emperor, and the third prince is really bold.
"I heard that in this army of eight thousand men, except for the top commander who knows that he is loyal to the third prince, the ordinary soldiers have no idea who their master is." The master explained.
Ye Sheng narrowed his eyes and thought of a lot in an instant.
"Go on, the first thing is human trafficking. What channels did he use to transport people here?" Ye Sheng asked.
"Caravan, among the top ten caravans in the world, Dahe Caravan is secretly supported by the Third Prince. Every time Dahe comes to the land of chaos, he will secretly bring 3,000 people there. These 3,000 people will be sold to the desolate people, to the
Barbarians, more were sold to some unknown armed forces." Master said.
The more Ye Sheng listened, the more frightened he became. This third prince was simply crazy.
"What about the second thing?" Ye Sheng asked.
"Xiao Ke doesn't know much about the second thing, but I vaguely heard Marquis Changle say that he is here to help the third prince find the relics of the Reincarnation Sect, the remnants of the previous dynasty." The master said.
"Relics of the Reincarnation Sect, a remnant of the previous dynasty, what does he want to do? He will violate whatever the Qin Empire expressly prohibits, right?" Ye Sheng now looked at this third prince with admiration. In private, he turned a blind eye to the imperial prohibitions and did whatever he wanted.
.
Trafficking in people, raising private soldiers, finding the remains of the Samsara Sect, and colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty.
If any of these things were exposed, the third prince would be ruined, but he did them all.
"That's why I said that the third prince will definitely kill you." The master said with a bitter smile.
"Then let him do it. I want to see how powerful this third prince is." Ye Sheng sneered.
"Does Marquis Changle have any hidden things?" Ye Sheng asked again.
He felt there was still a surprise.
The master said: "This year has already reached the end of the year. The treasures collected by Marquis Changle for a year are all in the underground secret room and have not been transported away. Now they all belong to the Marquis."
Ye Sheng's eyes lit up and he said, "Let's go and have a look with me."
