The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Especially now that the Red Lotus Cult is about to start an uprising, it is even more impossible to mobilize the troops from other prefectures. After all, once the troops from other prefectures are mobilized, the Red Lotus Cult will take advantage of the opportunity!

As for the troops stationed in the capital, they must not be deployed unless it is absolutely necessary.

What Emperor Yan is worried about now is whether the 90,000 troops mobilized by Chu Xinghe can solve the problem of the Red Lotus Sect.

On the other hand, Ye Ren and several other princes still wanted to turn the tables. They meant to ask the Emperor of Yan to bring Zhao, Ye, and Hou back to the capital for a public trial, with the three ministries assisting in the trial.

They felt that this matter was strange and there must be some hidden story behind it. They had to personally investigate it before they could determine whether it was true or not.

In response to this, Emperor Yan sneered in his heart. How could he not know what Ye Ren and others were planning? These people wanted to overturn the results found by Jiang Fan.

As long as people get to the capital, with a little manipulation, they can even turn the incident into a conspiracy between Jiang Fan and Su Yuanguang to frame those three people.

He had someone pass the news to Jiang Fan, and how to deal with it depended on how Jiang Fan handled it.

Over in Hejian Prefecture, at the headquarters of the Red Lotus Cult, the Red Lotus Cult leader Lei Wanjie sat on his throne, and below him were a group of high-ranking members of the Red Lotus Cult, as well as Hu Zhengqin who had escaped.

Yun Luo (Luo Yunxian) was also among them at this time. All the large and small strongholds, business territories, and open branch temples of the entire Red Lotus Sect in Hejian Prefecture were destroyed by Jiang Fan and his men.

Now, they can only hide in one of the huge manors in the north of Hejian Prefecture. Even the Tianxian Pavilion was removed.

"Well...well, Jiang Fan, I underestimated him..." Lei Wanjie's eyes were cold, and he exuded an astonishing aura, and the murderous intent in his eyes had reached its peak.

He gnashed his teeth, glanced at the Red Lotus Cult leaders below and said, "Everyone, now that our plan has been blocked, what should we do now? Should we continue to wait, or start the rebellion immediately?"

Originally, the Red Lotus Cult used miracles to preach in Hejian Prefecture. If there was another miracle, they could start a rebellion. As long as the people of Hejian Prefecture helped, they could take over Hejian Prefecture in an instant.

But they never expected that their plan would be ruined by Jiang Fan just after it was implemented and saw results. Now, let alone relying on the people to help them seize Hejian Prefecture.

I'm afraid that if the Red Lotus Cult members show up in Hejian Prefecture, they might be caught by the people and sent to the government. They can't move an inch in Hejian Prefecture now.

Lei Wanjie is now feeling headache and angry. After so many years of planning, he finally failed at the hands of Jiang Fan. How could he not be angry!

He really regretted colluding with the Sixth Prince and provoking Jiang Fan!

"Master, I think we can't wait any longer. The people of Hejian Prefecture can't be relied upon, but the people of other prefectures still have their hearts on our side."

Hu Zhengqin said at this time: "But if we wait any longer, once the news of Hejian Prefecture spreads to other prefectures and the people react, I'm afraid our influence will completely disappear. At that time, it will be difficult to get the people to help us!"

As soon as he said this, the senior executives around him nodded quickly.

Someone echoed, "What Elder Hu said is very true. Now, we can no longer use the people of Hejian Prefecture, but if we let these people spread what happened in Hejian Prefecture to other prefectures, our years of management will be wasted. The uprising is imminent, and we can't wait any longer!"

"Yes, we can't wait any longer. Once we occupy Hejian Prefecture, will the people still be afraid that we will be difficult to control? When we are in power, the people will not care whether we have cheated them before!"

"That's right. I also think that the rebellion is imminent now. If we delay any further, it will only become increasingly disadvantageous to us."

As everyone agreed, Lei Wanjie, who was sitting in the first seat, nodded slightly, although he was very unwilling in his heart.

But he also knew that after Jiang Fan exposed them in front of the people of Hejian Prefecture, no one would believe in the Red Lotus Sect's teachings in the future.

If they wait any longer, even the entire foundation built by the Red Lotus Sect will collapse.

After all, most of the believers were lured in by those deceptive miracles.

If miracles become false means to deceive people, will people still believe in them?

"Okay... let's start the rebellion... send someone to notify the eight prefectures including Henei Prefecture, Hezhong Prefecture, Hexi Prefecture, etc., and let them seize the prefectures in the shortest possible time, and then join forces to encircle Hejian Prefecture." Lei Wanjie shouted softly and made the decision immediately.

When he said this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Looking at Yun Luo in the crowd, he said, "Luo'er, you and the left protector take thirty of our sect's masters and go to the Governor's Mansion to bring Jiang Fan's head to our sect leader! We want to use his head as a sacrifice!"

There was a tone of unquestionableness in his voice, and there was a hint of danger in his eyes as he looked at Yun Luo.

Upon hearing this, Yun Luo looked at Lei Wanjie in astonishment. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.

"Yes...disciple obeys the order..."

She knew that her master, the leader, might have seen something. She didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be if she disobeyed.

Hu Zhengqin looked at Yun Luo with a hint of sarcasm and coldness on his lips.

Lei Wanjie looked at Yun Luo deeply, and then turned his gaze to the left protector beside him. This person was a cold-faced strong man who looked to be in his forties.

He nodded to Lei Wanjie, then turned and left.

Yun Luo hurriedly followed, and Hu Zhengqin beside him also followed.

He walked up to Yun Luo and said with a playful smile: "Junior sister, you are absent-minded, are you reluctant to kill Jiang Fan?"

Yun Luo turned to look at Hu Zhengqin, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Hu Zhengqin, it was you who instigated Master! That's why Master asked me to take action?"

"Junior sister, how can you say I am the one who instigated this! Aren't you and Jiang Fan having an affair? In Tianxian Pavilion, Jiang Fan entered your bedroom and stole important account books."

"If you hadn't kept this a secret, how could we have been unprepared and let Jiang Fan get the information about where we stored our grain?"

"Speaking of which, you should thank your senior brother. If I hadn't spoken well of you in front of Master, Master would not have just asked you to kill Jiang Fan to prove your innocence, but would have killed you directly!"

"Put away your kindness, Hu Zhengqin. Sooner or later, I will kill you with my own hands!" Yun Luo snorted coldly and turned away.

Jiang Fan's series of actions caught them off guard and also exposed the fact that she had lost the account book. Of course, all this was also because Hu Zhengqin reported it to her master.

After all, everyone in Tianxian Pavilion was her confidant. If Hu Zhengqin hadn’t found out about this, no one would have known that she had lost the account book.

The leakage of the location of grain tax will not be blamed on her.

By doing this, Hu Zhengqin was simply forcing him to submit and forcing her to bow down to this shameless man.
