Changlehou Mansion, Master took Ye Sheng into the secret room of Changlehou.
"Here are some ledgers that Chang Lehou did for the third prince." Master said softly.
Ye Sheng sat down, checked carefully, and asked, "What are you doing specifically?"
"Fur, medicinal materials, minerals, etc." The master said in a low voice after being silent.
"That's it?" Ye Sheng didn't believe that the third prince could give Changlehou a rubbing of the prince token because of this?
Ordinary businessmen can do these things.
Master hesitated to speak but stopped.
"Let's talk, you and I are on the same boat now. Even if the three princes come, you can't survive. Under my hand, you can still survive." Ye Sheng said softly, without threat, but just told the situation. That's it.
Master's face was bitter, and he said, "You know, even if I don't say anything, the people of the three princes don't believe it. It's safest to kill me."
"You know it," Ye Sheng said lightly.
"But the three princes are too powerful, Xiao Ke doesn't care about life and death, Xiao Ke's family..." Master said bitterly.
"Are you afraid of this third prince?" Ye Sheng asked in doubt.
"Xiao Ke is a person from Daqin Xianyang. Because he was admitted to Jinshi, he was recruited by the three princes. He followed him for a few years. He was too familiar with his style of behavior. Learn to be king, he can only be domineering." Master said.
"This is a fairly fair evaluation, but I am not afraid of him." Ye Sheng believes.
"Master Hou, what is your origin?" Master Master asked with a look on his face.
"Anyway, he is not younger than your third prince. He is a prince, but he is not the only prince, and he is not even number one. There are two princes ahead of him. What is there to fear for such a character? "Ye Sheng sneered.
Master has nothing to say, he doesn't have the confidence of Ye Sheng, and curiously asked: "Master Hou, are you here specifically to deal with the three princes?"
"No, I'm here to unify the chaos." Ye Sheng's eyes narrowed.
This is his ambition born after entering the chaotic land.
Master asked him to open a pill shop in the chaotic place, but after Ye Sheng learned the truth, he found that it was still challenging to unify the chaotic place.
The matter of alchemy, as long as it can overwhelm the younger generation of alchemists in Longhushan in a year and a half.
And Ye Sheng didn't regard alchemy as his main career, he still wanted to continue to become strong.
After listening, Master looked at Ye Sheng like a fool.
"Master Hou, do you know how many innate masters are in Chaos?" Master asked.
Ye Sheng shook his head, don't know.
"At least one hundred or more, plus some masters galloping in the innate realm, you are only the day after tomorrow, thinking about the unification of the chaotic land?" Master was deeply speechless.
Ye Sheng smiled, but didn't get angry, and said: "Is it arrogant or the truth? I'll see the result a year later. Tell me first, what is Changlehou doing for the third prince?"
"Two secret things." The master was silent for a while before speaking.
Ye Sheng looked at him quietly.
"The first thing, human trafficking." Master said softly.
Ye Sheng's eyes condensed, and his expression was serious: "He is the third prince, one of the future successors to the throne of Da Qin, he is trafficking in human beings?"
Master nodded.
"What kind of people are you selling?" Ye Sheng asked solemnly, thinking that the third prince was crazy.
If this spreads out, his life will be abolished, and the reputation of the royal family will also be affected.
How can he dare to do such a dehumanizing thing?
"Sell the women, children, and adult men of Daqin to the grassland for digging in the mines of the deserters, barbarians, and the Third Prince." Master sighed.
"Is the number large?" Ye Sheng asked with an ugly expression.
"More than 30,000 people were trafficked here last year." Master told the truth.
"Is this very profitable?" Ye Sheng asked puzzledly.
"It is very profitable. A child is five hundred taels, a fertile woman is one thousand taels, and an adult man is 1,500 taels." The master nodded.
"Then he made a crazy profit, but he is a prince and lacks money?" Ye Sheng frowned.
"Lack, very lack." Master nodded firmly.
Ye Sheng listened silently.
"The three princes raised an army outside the Great Wall. There are 8,000 people. All of these 8,000 are practitioners. The leaders are innate masters. The daily consumption is tens of thousands of taels. No matter how big it is, it can’t help such consumption, and this is just one of them. The three princes win over officials from all over Daqin, make friends with powerful localities, use generous means, and spend hundreds of thousands of taels every day. The accounts that have been around him for a few years will definitely increase several times over the next few years." Master said bluntly.
"He raises the soldiers privately, but he can't die?" Ye Sheng hummed coldly.
The Da Qin law strictly stipulated that the prince raised private soldiers and gave a cup of poisoned wine.
This is the rule set by the founding emperor, and the three princes are really bold.
"I heard that in this 8,000-man army, except for the highest commander who knows loyalty to the three princes, ordinary soldiers have no idea who their master is." Master explained ~EbookFREE.me~ Ye Sheng narrowed his eyes. , I thought of a lot in an instant.
"You continue to say that the first thing is human trafficking, what channel does he use to bring people here?" Ye Sheng asked.
"Caravan, among the world’s top ten caravans, Dahe’s caravan is the third prince’s secret support. Every time Dahe comes to the chaotic place, he will secretly bring three thousand people over. These three thousand people will be sold to the deserted people. Barbarians, more are sold to some unknown armed forces." Master said.
Ye Sheng became more and more frightened as he listened to it, this third prince was simply frantic.
"What about the second thing?" Ye Sheng asked.
"The second thing I don't know is much, but Chang Lehou vaguely heard that he was here to find the remnants of the reincarnation sect, the remnants of the previous dynasty, for the three princes." Master said.
"Remains of the reincarnation sect, the remnants of the previous dynasty, what he wants to do, what is prohibited by the Great Qin Empire, is he violating it?" Ye Sheng now looked at the three princes with admiration, privately ignored the imperial ban, and did whatever he wanted. .
Trafficking in human beings, raising private soldiers, finding the relics of the reincarnation sect, colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty.
Each of these things exploded, the three princes would be ruined, but he did all of them.
"That's why I said that the three princes will definitely kill you." The master smiled bitterly.
"Then let him come, I will know how powerful this third prince is." Ye Sheng sneered.
"Are there any hidden things in Changlehou?" Ye Sheng asked again.
He felt surprised.
Master said: "This year has come to the end of this year. Changlehou has collected treasures for one year. All of them are in the underground secret room and have not been transported away. Now they all belong to Master Hou."
Ye Sheng's eyes lit up and said, "Go, come and have a look with me."
