The four secret agents began to move!
Night!
The World's First Manor.
They only accepted people who were known as the best in the world, such as the best detective in the world, the best thief in the world, the best poison king in the world...
The World's Greatest Manor had 13,000 people backing it and was supported by wealth that could rival a country. The people it recruited were mostly capable people in the martial arts world.
After Shangguan Haitang returned to The World's Greatest Manor, she immediately ordered the order of the Iron-guts Divine Marquis to be delivered to everyone.
For a moment, the white pigeons flew in all directions.
At the same time, Wan Sanqian also began to use his own strength to launch a thunderous attack on all businesses and shops that had any relationship with the World Association.
It's almost midnight.
Jiangnan.
In an inconspicuous village.
Hundreds of Armor Piercing ninth-grade experts rushed out of the darkness at the same time.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The bright blade light quickly flew toward the disciples of the World Association who were warming themselves up by the fire.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The moon hung high in the sky.
Sword light and sword shadow!
Screams and screams echoed non-stop!
There was actually a Rank Two Master guarding the surrounding trees!
Ah!
Screams rang out continuously. After about half an incense stick of time, everything gradually returned to calm.
As far as his eyes could see, there were corpses everywhere.
"Daren, the World Association's branch has been pulled out and we haven't found a Rank Two Master Realm expert.”
When the black-clothed man heard this, his eyes revealed some disappointment. He said regretfully,"Looks like it's another useless place!”
"Shen Hou has already ordered that if you kill a Rank Two Master, you will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver. You will be given a Yellow Grade cultivation technique, and those below Rank Two Master will only be given a hundred miles of silver.”
"Continue searching. We can't let anyone else get ahead of us!”
"Yes, sir!"
……
The next day.
The sky was bright.
Yangxin Palace Hall.
All kinds of dishes were placed in front of Zhu Houzhao.
Cao Zhengchun served Zhu Houzhao by the side, adding food to his plate.
"What's wrong? Have you been very free lately?"
"Your Majesty, I've already arranged for the Seven Ghosts and Thirteen Fiends to investigate in secret," Cao Zhengchun replied respectfully."However, Your Majesty needs someone to serve you, right?”
"Haha! You're really thoughtful."
Zhu Houzhao chuckled. After drinking a bowl of porridge, he said calmly,""Tell me! I know a little about your thoughts.”
"Any recent movements?"
Cao Zhengchun smiled awkwardly and bowed respectfully.""Your Majesty has unparalleled insight. This old servant cannot hide anything from Your Majesty.”
"This old servant has sent people to secretly investigate the matter of the World Association's branch. Recently, there have been some clues. Perhaps there are some things that Your Majesty might be interested in.”
"Oh?"
Zhu Houzhao's expression changed slightly and he said with interest,""Tell me first."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. This old servant received news last night that the World Association branch was attacked by many unknown forces and suffered heavy losses.”
"Other than that, many businesses under the name of the World Association have also been suppressed.”
"Oh?"
Zhu Houzhao was delighted and said in surprise,""This is a pleasant surprise!"
"As for who did this to this unknown faction, this old servant has already sent people to investigate. I believe that in less than half a day, we will receive a reply.”
Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile.""There's no need to investigate! Zhen has guessed a possibility."
"Oh?"
Cao Zhengchun was surprised and cupped his hands."Your Majesty, please forgive this old servant's stupidity. I wonder who Your Majesty has guessed?”
"Hehe ~"
Zhu Houzhao chuckled and said meaningfully,""There are only a handful of people in the world who can have such influence in the business, and Wan Sanqian is one of them!”
Cao Zhengchun also understood what was going on.
"Your Majesty, you mean that the World Association's branches and businesses that were uprooted were all the doing of the number one manor under the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa?”
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, stood up and said,"Not bad!"
"Today's breakfast has really piqued Zhen's interest!”
"Pass down my decree and order all the officials to enter the court. I have something to discuss.”
"Yes."
……
It was about the time for an incense stick to burn.
All the officials in the court arrived at the throne room one after another.
Compared to the Emperor, the officials in the court were not as well-informed.
The officials discussed the major events that had occurred in the capital in recent days.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
When the sound of the trumpet was heard, all the officials shut their mouths and waited in the court.
When the emperor arrived personally, all the officials cupped their hands and bowed."Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Rise!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Houzhao looked around at the officials and said with a smile,""Have you heard any news?”
The officials looked at each other.
Did something good happen? After all, he had been troubled by the matter of the World Association a few days ago.
Just as the officials were confused, the Minister of Revenue, Liang Chu, walked out of the court and bowed."Your Majesty, I have heard some things, but I don't know if they are from Your Majesty's mouth.”
"Oh?"
Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly.”
"Yes."
Liang Chu cupped his hands respectfully and said truthfully,"Your Majesty, in recent days, I have discovered that the price of iron ore and other materials has increased by several times.”
"Other than that, the businesses under the richest man, Wan San, bought some shops and businesses.”
"As a result, the prices of many crops and cloth have been affected.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the officials in the court who were unaware of the situation discussed animatedly.
"Your Majesty, what do these 13,000 people want to do? If we let them continue to cause trouble like this, I'm worried that the people of the Ming Dynasty will also be affected!”
Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, hurriedly walked out of the court and said worriedly.
Without waiting for the emperor to reply, Liang Chu, the Minister of Revenue, spoke first,""Don't worry, Grand Elder. I've investigated this matter thoroughly.”
"We discovered that the shops and shops under the name of Wan3,000 were only targeted at some of the shops and shops.”
"And the price increase is not caused by the businesses under Wansan's name, but by those that are struggling to support themselves.”
"What? This…"
Liu Jian was surprised and looked at Tian Zi in confusion.
"Hahaha ~"
Zhu Houzhao's loud laughter echoed in the court for a long time.
"You may not know, but I know very well.”
"And this is also the matter that I summoned all the officials to discuss!”
Having said that, Zhu Houzhao said with a dignified expression,""If I'm not wrong, the World Club is secretly supporting these businesses!”
"It's also because of the cover of these shops that the World Association's branch can be hidden in so many cities!”
"Liang Chu, Hong Zhong, Guo Juxia!"
"Your subject is here!"
The three of them stood in the court and bowed.
"I will leave this matter to the three of you to investigate along this line.”
"Once it is verified, it will be collected by the local government. The disciples of the World Association will be imprisoned in the prison for punishment.”
"Kill anyone who dares to resist!”
"We will obey."
After the three of them bowed and returned to the court, Zhu Houzhao continued,"Other than that, I also received news that the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa has already made a move against the World Association!”
When these words rang out, the officials in the court were in a heated discussion.
Even Zhuge Zhengwo, Guo Bujing, and the others were shocked.
The Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa was independent of the laws of the imperial court and rarely participated in anything.
He didn't expect that they would suddenly attack the World Association!
Zhu Houzhao looked around at the expressions on the faces of the officials and said with satisfaction,""I hereby call upon the Ironguts Divine Marquis to come to the capital to discuss this matter!”
"Other than that, I will set up a generous reward here. After the matter of destroying the World Association, I will give a generous reward to the person who has contributed the most, or fulfill a condition within my ability!”
Boom!
At this moment, all the officials in the court could not remain calm!!!
In the eyes of the officials, the emperor's words represented a high position and a lifetime of wealth!
However, for Zhuge Zhengwo, Guo Bujing, and the others, it was a rare opportunity.
Profound Finger Realm!
If he obtained the first merit, he would have the possibility of touching the Profound Finger Realm!
In fact!
It wasn't impossible for him to become a Heavenly Phenomenon Grandmaster!!!
While all the officials in the court were secretly shocked, Zhu Houzhao did not say anything else. He stood up and said,"Retreat!"
Zhu Houzhao left the throne room. The eunuch came to his side and said in a low voice,""Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager invites you to Cining Palace to discuss the matter of consort…"
"Who is consort?"
