Chapter 129 Chapter 14, the rebellious third Prince (fifth update)

In the Changle Marquis Mansion, the Advisor brought Ye Sheng into the secret chamber of the Changle Marquis.

“Here are some of the accounts that the Changle Marquis did for the third Prince,”the advisor said softly.

Ye Sheng sat down and looked carefully. He asked, “What exactly did they do?”

“Furs, herbs, ores, and so on,”the advisor said softly after a moment of silence.

“Is that all?”Ye Sheng did not believe that the third prince could give the Marquis a copy of the prince’s token just because of this small matter?

Ordinary merchants could do these things.

The advisor wanted to say something, but stopped himself.

“Speak. You are now on the same boat as me. Even if the third Prince’s people come, you won’t be able to survive. You can still survive under my hands, “Ye Sheng said softly. He did not threaten him, but only spoke of the situation.

The advisor’s expression was bitter as he said, “I know. Even if I don’t say anything, the third Prince’s Men Won’t believe me. Killing Me is the safest option.”

“It’s good that you know, “Ye Sheng said lightly.

“But the third prince is too powerful. I don’t care about life and death. My family… “the Advisor said bitterly.

“Are you afraid of the third Prince?”Ye Sheng asked curiously.

“I’m from Xianyang, Great Qin. I was recruited by the third prince because I was accepted as a scholar. I’ve been by his side for a few years, so I’m very familiar with his style of doing things. I want to get rid of the weeds and root out the roots. I don’t want to leave any trouble behind. The emperor is very knowledgeable, but he hasn’t learned the way of the king. He only knows how to be overbearing, “the advisor said.

“That’s a fair assessment, but I’m not afraid of him,”ye Sheng said confidently.

“Marquis, What’s your background?”The advisor’s expression changed as he asked.

“In any case, it’s not smaller than your third Prince’s background. He’s a prince, but he’s not the only one. He’s not even the first prince. There are two princes in front of him. What’s there to be afraid of with such a character?”Ye Sheng mocked.

The advisor had nothing to say. He didn’t have ye Sheng’s confidence. He asked curiously, “Marquis, are you here specifically to deal with the third Prince?”

“No, I’m here to unify the entire land of Chaos. “Ye Sheng’s eyes narrowed.

This was the ambition he had born after entering the land of chaos.

His Master had asked him to open a medicinal pill hall in the land of chaos. However, after Ye Sheng understood the truth, he realized that it was still challenging to unify the entire land of chaos.

Regarding alchemy, as long as he could suppress the younger generation of alchemists in Mount Longhu in a year and a half, it would be enough.

Furthermore, Ye Sheng did not view refining pills as his main career. He still wanted to continue becoming stronger.

After the advisor heard this, he looked at Ye Sheng as if he was looking at a fool.

“Marquis, do you know how many Xiantian experts there are in the chaotic lands?”The advisor asked.

Ye Sheng shook his head. He did not know.

“At least a hundred or more. With the addition of some Xiantian realm experts, you are only at the Eighth Heaven of the Houtian realm, yet you want to unify the chaotic lands?”The advisor was deeply speechless.

Ye Sheng smiled and was not angry at all. He said, “We’ll see in a year whether it’s arrogant or real. Tell Me First, what is the Marquis of Changle doing for the third Prince?”

“Two secret things, “the advisor said after a moment of silence.

Ye Sheng looked at him quietly.

“The first thing is human trafficking, “the advisor said softly.

Ye Sheng’s expression became serious as he said seriously, “He’s the third prince, one of Great Qin’s future successors to the throne. He’s human trafficking?”

The advisor nodded.

“What kind of human trafficking?”Ye Sheng asked seriously. He felt that the third prince had gone crazy. If news of this spread, his entire life would be ruined, and the reputation of the imperial family would be affected.

How could he dare to do such a thing that destroyed humanity?

“We’ll sell Great Qin’s women, children, and adult men to the grasslands and mine for the desolate man, the Barbarians, and the third prince,”the advisor said as he sighed.

“Is it a large number?”Ye Sheng’s expression was quite unsightly as he asked.

“Last year, over 30,000 people were sold here,”the advisor told him the truth.

“Is this very profitable?”Ye Sheng asked, puzzled.

“Very profitable. 500 taels for a child, 1,000 taels for a fertile woman, and 1,500 taels for an adult man.”The advisor nodded.

“Then he’s earned like crazy. But he’s a prince. Does he need money to spend?”Ye Sheng frowned.

“Yes, very much.”The advisor nodded firmly.

Ye Sheng listened silently.

“The third prince has an army of 8,000 people outside the Great Qin. These 8,000 people are all cultivators, and the ones leading them are all xiantian experts. They spend tens of thousands of taels of silver every day, and no matter how big the third Prince’s family is, he won’t be able to withstand such expenditure. This is just one of the many things that the third prince has done. He has roped in officials from all over Great Qin, befriending powerful people, and he has great means. His money is like flowing water, and he spends hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every day. This is the account that I kept with him a few years ago, and it will definitely increase by several times over the next few years,”the advisor said straightforwardly.

“Is he looking for death by raising his own soldiers?”Ye Sheng coldly harrumphed.

Great Qin’s laws strictly stipulated that a prince raised his own soldiers and would be given a cup of poison wine.

This was a rule set by the founding emperor, and the third prince was truly audacious.

“I heard that out of this army of 8,000 people, only the highest commander knows that they are loyal to the third prince. Ordinary soldiers have no idea who their master is, “the Advisor explained.

Ye Sheng narrowed his eyes and instantly thought of many things.

“Continue. The first thing is to sell people. Through what channels does he transport people here?”Ye Sheng asked.

“Caravans. Among the top ten caravans in the world, the Great River Caravan is secretly supported by the third prince. Every time the great river comes to the chaotic land, it will secretly bring 3,000 people here. These 3,000 people will be sold to the desolate man and the barbarians, and more will be sold to some unknown armed forces, “the advisor said.

The More Ye Sheng heard, the more shocked he became. This third prince was simply insane.

“What about the second thing?”Ye Sheng asked.

“I don’t know much about the second thing, but I vaguely heard the Marquis of Changle say that he was here to find the ruins of the Samsara sect for the third prince, the remnants of the previous dynasty,”the Advisor said.

“The ruins of the Samsara sect, the remnants of the previous dynasty. What does he want to do? What the Great Qin Empire clearly forbids, does he violate?”Ye Sheng now had a whole new level of respect for this third prince, in private, he actually turned a blind eye to the imperial court’s ban and did whatever he wanted.

He sold people, raised private soldiers, found the ruins of the Samsara sect, and colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty.

If these things were exposed, the third prince’s reputation would be ruined, but he did all of them.

“That’s why I said that the third prince will definitely kill you,”the advisor said with a bitter smile.

“Then let him come. I want to see how powerful this third prince is, “Ye Sheng said with a cold smile.

“Is there anything else that the Marquis of Changle is Hiding?”Ye Sheng asked again.

He felt that there was still a surprise.

The advisor said, “This year is already the end of the year. The treasures that the Marquis of Changle has collected for a year are all in the underground secret room. They have not been transported away. Now they are all the Marquis’.”

Ye Sheng’s eyes lit up. He said, “Let’s go and take a look with me.”
