Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Your Majesty, where do you say this?"

Qin Ming's words made Elder Song hesitate. He had heard about the Red Blood Alliance causing trouble in the Western Regions before.

But they had not yet become a powerful force at that time, and Qin Ming also said that there was no need to spend a lot of resources to guard against them.

That's why Elder Song didn't send anyone to directly target the Red Blood Alliance.

But now it seems that Qin Ming should have had a deeper plan at the beginning.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to redeploy it so quickly.

He even arranged for Chang Baishan and the secret guards to be sent out.

"Why do you think the Red Blood Alliance is called this name?"

Faced with Elder Song's doubts, Qin Ming suddenly asked a puzzling question.

"Such a gangster-like name, maybe their leader came from humble origins?"

Elder Song was confused about what Qin Ming wanted to ask for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he gave a tentative answer.

"That makes some sense. Now, let me ask you, does this name sound like a gang?"

"picture."

"Where did Chang Baishan go before, and what did he do?"

"We gathered a group of martial artists from the southern part of the Shenmu Kingdom and established the Wulin Alliance. Wasn't this your idea?"

Elder Song scratched his head.

He was increasingly unable to understand Qin Ming's meaning.

"Yes, that's why I let him go. He will be very experienced in dealing with these people from the Shenmu Kingdom."

"Is this so?"

Elder Song nodded doubtfully.

But he soon realized something was wrong.

"Wait, Your Majesty, what did you just say!?"

"Are they Jianghu people from the Shenmu Kingdom?"

"How is this possible? How dare they do this!"

Elder Song's face was full of surprise.

He really couldn't imagine how this group of people had the courage to come here and provoke Qin Ming.

"It is absolutely impossible to accomplish this with their strength alone."

"I suspect there are other people behind this, perhaps the royal palaces of other places, or the large families that originally absorbed the wealth of the exiled nobles from various places."

"The so-called Red Blood Alliance that's now standing before us isn't actually the real chess player. The reason they asked Chang Baishan to follow the clues and investigate is because he has some knowledge of the heroes of the Shenmu Kingdom... He even has some acquaintances among them."

Qin Ming spoke lightly.

The words finally answered Elder Song's previous doubts. Hearing this, he slowly nodded and said:

"Your Majesty, I heard that Hua Yunhong has been keeping an eye on the families behind those deceased old ministers. Some have been eliminated, while others are still standing."

"That's a strange detail."

Qin Ming nodded slightly. The information mentioned by Elder Song was very important.

A few days ago, Qin Ming helped Hua Yunhong kill many diehards who were hindering Hua Yunhong in Shenmu City.

Since all these diehard old ministers are dead.

Naturally, the families behind them can no longer continue to show off their power like this.

He lost his greatest support in the court.

Hua Yunhong took the opportunity to bring down those who had originally opposed him.

All the big families that were unwilling to mature were wiped out.

Such a massive action resulted in the utter slaughter of many large families.

Of course, some people received the news in advance through special channels and ran away.

But even so, if you randomly pick out a large family, there are thousands of members who were killed.

This has also led to panic in the entire court.

Many people did not dare to disobey Hua Yunhong, for fear that Hua Yunhong would become bloodthirsty and they would be the next one to be killed.

However, Hua Yunhong did this, which made him feel a little relieved for a while.

But turning around, he also found that there was no one around him who was available, especially these civil officials.

With such a large number of people dying, it may be difficult to train them again and enable them to take on the tasks of the kingdom.

It is for this reason that he is now ready to re-screen talents.

The entire Shenmu City is busy now.

In fact, Qin Ming didn't need to find out the information himself. He could find out the situation by just reading the newspapers from the Shenmu Kingdom.

The people below naturally supported Hua Yunhong's actions.

They now all hope that goods from Daqian can flow in.

Because it can improve their lives, especially some agricultural tools.

"We killed some big families, but left a group behind. It seems Hua Yunhong must have known something. Go and tell him what we found out."

"What about the wealth of the exiled nobles whose nations were destroyed and transferred to the major forces of the Shenmu Kingdom?"

"Ah."

When Elder Song heard the order, he nodded immediately.

"Well, they've been hiding this for decades. It's time to bring this old story to light."

Soon, at Qin Ming's instruction, Elder Song sent the message to the palace of Shenmu Kingdom via telegraph.

Facing the information sent by Qin Ming.

The guards from the Shenmu Kingdom who were in charge of the telegraph machine here immediately found Hua Yunhong.

Generally speaking, this level of intelligence needs to be delivered to Hua Yunhong by Du Zi personally.

But the situation is different today because Du Zi has gone to the south.

Discuss the transportation and purchase of oil mines with Tongbao Pavilion.

So at this time, there were not many people in the palace that Hua Yunhong could trust.

And the guards around him were basically the ones who had fought with him on the battlefield.

Hua Yunhong made an exception and gave them higher authority, allowing them to view the information and hand it over to him personally.

The more times intelligence changes hands, the greater the chance of it being leaked.

In order to avoid this situation, he also reduced the intermediate links as much as possible.

Especially after discussing with Daqian, the telegraph machine obtained from them was specifically used for communication between Qin Ming and Hua Yunhong.

So in this case, it is natural to reduce the intermediate links as much as possible.

And try to keep others unaware of the situation between herself and Qin Ming.

"Your Majesty, intelligence has arrived from the Western Regions regarding the hidden wealth of the major families."

Soon, several men came to Hua Yunhong.

He was told the news in a low voice.

Hua Yunhong, who was handling government affairs at the moment, suddenly looked up. The ominous premonition in his heart finally came true.

"Sure enough, there's something hidden there. No wonder they can get away with it despite such a huge hole."

A few days ago when we were slaughtering those big families and wealthy families.

Hua Yunhong specially arranged for someone to find their account books.

There are huge deficits in these account books.

But what is strange is that these huge deficits can always be made up at some point in time.

Basically, they will make up for it every two or three years.

The silver used to patch the hole seemed to appear out of thin air.

After learning about this situation, Hua Yunhong did not make it public, but asked Mu Liuming to arrange someone to investigate.
