Domineering prince, your princess is a bit fierce
Chapter 144 The people of Cang Yue Kingdom are really powerful
"As for the actual price of the medicinal materials, who dares to question it? Who dares to offend His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"What do you mean, let me buy the medicinal materials at a low price, then raise the price to the court, and then keep the extra silver for myself?" the prince said with some uncertainty.
"Exactly, it depends on whether His Highness the Crown Prince has the courage!" Zhao Shun said with certainty.
"As long as we collect a certain amount of medicinal materials in accordance with the Holy Spirit's wishes, no one will question His Highness."
"In the future, if my father knows that His Highness has embezzled these silver coins, he will definitely punish His Highness." The prince said hesitantly.
"Your Highness, now that the epidemic has broken out, the medicinal materials themselves will be in short supply, and those profiteers will take the opportunity to raise prices. We just did this in advance."
"If someone really pursues it in the future, Your Highness can just blame the drug dealers. It has nothing to do with Your Highness!"
Zhao Shun continued to persuade the prince.
The prince was a little shaken. After all, it was money in vain. Although he had no worries about food and clothing, he still had limited money.
Those who follow him also need money to win their hearts.
If he could keep this money as his own, he could use it to buy more people to follow him.
"Besides, those medicine farmers don't dare to go against the imperial court."
"Your Highness, those who want to do big things should take a long-term view. In the future, you will be the king of a country, and the whole world will be yours." Zhao Shun continued to encourage the prince when he saw that the prince was wavering.
"Besides, with these silver coins, His Highness will be able to add more help in the future!"
The prince was very shaken. This was indeed a great temptation. After thinking for a while, the prince made up his mind.
"This matter must be done so that no one is aware of it, and no clues can be left. Otherwise, not only will your Highness suffer, but you will not benefit at all." The prince said seriously.
"Your Highness is wise. If you understand this, you will definitely do it very secretly." Zhao Shun was overjoyed and immediately responded.
In the days that followed, Zhao Shun purchased medicinal materials at low prices in the name of the court, and then swallowed part of the money himself.
The drug farmers dared not speak out. Although they were angry in their hearts, the people in the court said that these were used to save people, and they could only be purchased at this price.
An unconvinced drug farmer went to sue the government. As a result, the government officials protected him and did not give him justice. They even slapped twenty big boards with a cane, saying that he had framed the accusation.
These officials had already been bribed by Zhao Shun in the name of His Highness the Crown Prince, so how could they possibly uphold justice for him.
Now, those drug farmers were even more afraid to disobey and could only sell the medicinal materials to Zhao Shun at a low price.
The medicinal farmers are miserable, losing money on the medicinal materials they worked so hard to grow.
Looking at the medicinal materials being taken away, my heart was bleeding.
Zhao Shun collected a certain amount of medicinal materials and went back to report to the prince.
After that, the prince transported these medicinal materials to the epidemic area. The imperial doctors were very happy to get enough medicinal materials.
The patients knew that these medicinal materials were found for them by the noble Crown Prince of the Zhou Dynasty. They were even more grateful and praised the Emperor and the Crown Prince profusely.
These compliments naturally reached the ears of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Emperor, and they were very happy.
Since the King of Jin accepted the emperor's mission, he has been paying close attention to the wellheads and moats around the capital.
They also locked down several wellheads that were most likely to become their next attack, and personally guarded them.
He believed that if the people of Cang Yue knew that their first plan was not successful and the epidemic did not spread, they would take a second action.
By then, as long as he catches the person, he will definitely be able to interrogate their purpose, and at the same time, this person can also be used as evidence.
They stayed like this for four consecutive days, but nothing was abnormal and no problems were found in the water.
Just when the subordinates thought that King Jin's guess was wrong and that he might not be from the Cangyue Kingdom, the people from the Cangyue Kingdom couldn't stand it any longer.
Just as King Jin expected, on the fifth day when the secret guards were squatting around day and night, the people of Cangyue Kingdom took action.
She is still a pretty little girl, about ten years old, and there is a boy of similar age.
As soon as the secret guards discovered this situation, they immediately left quietly to inform King Jin who was squatting not far away.
King Jin was very happy that he had finally arrived, so he quietly followed the secret guard here.
I saw these two people each holding a sepak takraw ball in their hands. They were playing by the well like ordinary children.
While playing and running, the girl slowly approached the mouth of the well. As if by accident, the girl threw the sepak takraw ball in her hand into the well.
At this moment, with a "swish" sound, Sepak Takraw shot a sharp arrow and hit a tree hanging.
King Jin put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and with an order, the secret guards took action together.
When the two children saw this scene, they immediately panicked and ran away.
But the secret guards were well-trained and soon caught up with them.
Surround them.
The two also wanted to pretend to be children to gain sympathy.
"Brothers, why are you chasing us?" the little girl asked timidly.
"Stop pretending, we already know your identities." Lin Xing said.
"Brother, we don't understand what you are talking about." The little girl still refused to admit it.
"The people of Cang Yue Kingdom are indeed very powerful. Not only can they change their appearance, but they can also shrink their body, and even their voices can be imitated so that they are so similar." King Jin stepped forward and praised them.
"We don't understand what you are talking about!" The two of them wanted to continue to pretend to be confused.
King Jin didn't talk nonsense to them. He waved out the sharp wind of his palm and took action directly, trying to capture one of them.
Realizing that the danger was coming, the two quickly evaded.
"This time, don't keep pretending!" King Jin took the opportunity to joke.
The two rarely spoke this time.
King Jin was so skilled that even if the two of them fought back with all their strength, it only took three or four rounds before the little girl was knocked to the ground by King Jin's palm, vomiting blood.
The secret guards immediately stepped forward and captured the little girl, unable to move.
Without the little girl to deal with, the boy soon fell into a disadvantage. After a hard fight with King Jin, he tried to escape.
But the surrounding secret guards would not let him leave easily. After a while, a secret guard captured him.
"Tell me, whose purpose is your trip!" King Jin looked at the two spies from the Cang Yue Kingdom who were captured by the secret guards and kneeling on the ground in embarrassment.
"It seems that your Excellency is the Jin King of the Great Zhou Dynasty. We are defeated at your hands. We admit defeat, but we don't know anything. You can't even try to get anything out of us!"
The boy stopped pretending at this time and spoke in his original voice, which was that of an adult.
At this moment, the boy's body changed. The shoulders and arms that were originally pressed by the secret guards slowly began to grow in size, becoming the size of an adult.
His body also began to slowly expand, like an inflated balloon.
