Chapter 632 The Death of King Li
Those who lay there waiting for the results stared longingly at the door all night, but no one came back.
No one returned by dawn. Did they succeed or fail? This left many people confused.
Some were clever enough to understand when Shadow Five and the others appeared before them unharmed, as if nothing had happened.
Those who escaped yesterday must have been dealt with by these people, otherwise they wouldn't be acting this way.
However, these people gradually ran out of time to think, because they were so hungry that they had no strength left.
These people are really ruthless. I wonder what they're waiting for?
Even if they have to be executed, at least do it quickly. What's the point of starving them like this?
This is unbearable, it's too agonizing.
On the seventh day after Shen Ruyi and her group entered the area, Ying Shiliu returned with a group of people to report back.
The reason he was so slow was that he didn't dare to move the nearest troops. He sneaked in to eavesdrop, and the people in this territory all listened to King Li.
After all, they've been operating in this area for decades.
He specifically went to a place a little further away to get reinforcements.
“Very good, your consideration is very thorough and reasonable. You all take a rest first, and then join the team that is looking after these people.”
"Yes, master."
Xia Ran did not hand over the person who came this time; she was waiting for the person sent by the government.
Two days later, Xia Ran received a letter from Ying Shijiu and the others.
It is said that King Li's other right-hand man—his cousin General Qin and his confidants—had been tricked and captured by his own people.
Moreover, Prince Li and several young masters of the Prince Li's mansion are currently in critical condition, having been drugged.
Prince Li was in the most serious condition. He was already poisoned, and the doctor's other strong medicines brought him temporary relief.
The addition of the new poison directly disrupted the original balance, making it a case of poison on poison.
The poison has already penetrated deep into the lungs and is beyond saving; it's just a matter of time.
The Prince Li's residence was already in complete chaos.
Xia Ran was surprised that things would go so smoothly; it was beyond her imagination.
Indeed, the saying "to catch the thief, catch the king" always applies.
He replied, "Find a way to tell everyone in the Li Prince's Mansion that it was the Qing Prince's Mansion that poisoned their prince."
If Prince Li can wake up, please tell him that the son Ade bore him is the heir of Prince Qing, and that he has been cuckolded.
They'd better fight like dogs; there must be some sordid affair between those two princely residences that outsiders don't know about.
Shen Ruyi decided to try it out, hoping to uncover some other information.
He added, "When the time is right, arrange for Princess Li and her son to fake their deaths. Find a place to settle them and wait for the convoy."
Shen Ruyi decided to send the mother and son directly to Penglai Island to avoid them living under the watchful eyes of the officials, as neither side would feel at ease.
Two days later, Shen Ruyi received a letter from Ying Shijiu informing her that Prince Li had passed away.
He died of anger on the spot after hearing the two pieces of news that Shen Ruyi had someone tell him.
Of the princes of the Li family, three died, and two barely survived.
He is still not out of danger and is being kept alive with medication; he is in a state of semi-death.
The Prince's residence was thrown into chaos, and some of his advisors even planned to abscond with some money.
They arrested him and he's currently detained, awaiting further instructions.
Some of the staff members were just wandering around like headless flies.
Several of his subordinates have already begun to side with the two young masters who are still alive.
They plan to support the young master who can wake up and put him on the throne.
On the same day, he arranged for Princess Li and her son to fake their deaths.
They set fire to the courtyard where Princess Li lived, burning it down to more than half.
That's impressive speed and efficiency.
Upon hearing this, Shen Ruyi could no longer sit still; she had to join in the fun.
Unfortunately, considering there were still so many soldiers here, she couldn't leave yet and had to be successfully handed over to the newcomers.
He sent a message to Ying Shijiu: "Send a message to the Prince of Qing's fiefdom, saying that Prince Li and his sons have been poisoned."
Only the young master raised under Consort Liu's name survived; let's see what they do.
By the way, here's another piece of news: the poison on Prince Li's body was administered by Prince Qing's mansion.
I also gave everyone a detailed account of the love-hate relationship between Adele, Prince Qing, and Prince Li.
Let's stir things up and make them panic first.
Men who are capable of sending their women to sleep with other men and having those men raise their children are not simple men.
After much pleading from Shen Ruyi, the group sent by the Emperor finally arrived, weary from their journey.
Two thousand soldiers followed, waiting at the foot of the mountain for orders.
However, this is already the fourteenth day since I arrived here.
These private soldiers looked like refugees, like walking, opium-smoking skulls.
The visitors were startled and wondered if the King of the East Sea intended to kill them all.
Look, they've starved people to the point of being unrecognizable even though there's no shortage of food or drink here. That's cruel.
However, they only dared to grumble inwardly, and dared not show it on their faces.
The title "King of the East Sea" now exists in the form of a demon.
His reputation in some areas far surpasses that of officials.
Look, this person has been playing games all the way, and of course, they've made contributions along the way.
To be honest, I don't even know where to begin if I want to be jealous of someone.
Shen Ruyi didn't care what others thought; let them do whatever they wanted.
Anyway, she has successfully handed over the person, and what they do next is their own business.
I also handed over the coal business, and then dealt with the people in Shuizhai according to their circumstances.
Some people survived unharmed, such as Abu and his mother, as well as some unsuspecting civilians.
Those who knew about it were basically dealt with.
Once the handover was complete, he left with his own men and the soldiers that Shadow Sixteen had brought.
They returned the way they came.
They went back to pick up General Huang, Lord Lu, and the group of young masters, and headed towards the prefectural city together.
Lord Lu was quite worried, and General Huang, in the days that Shen Ruyi was away, had eliminated seventy or eighty percent of the bandits in the vicinity, determined to avenge his previous humiliation.
These young masters were almost ecstatic; they spent almost all the money they had saved up in the past two weeks.
Once Shen Ruyi left, they felt they were no longer under anyone's control and let themselves go.
They spent every day either eating out or drinking and listening to music; they lived a very happy life.
Everyone has gained several pounds.
The moment Shen Ruyi appeared, these people were so frightened that they stood to one side with long faces, like children who had made a mistake, not daring to breathe.
I thought to myself, how could I have forgotten about this devil? My happy days are over.
It remains to be seen how this devil will deal with them after hearing about what they have done.
