Chapter 1114 Secret Door
When General Qian heard this, he immediately sent people to search the palace inside and out. Finally, they discovered that there was a secret door in the Crown Prince's bedroom. Needless to say, the Crown Prince must have escaped through the secret door.
When the emperor found out, he was furious.
If the real culprit, the crown prince, cannot be found and the King of Youzhou blames him, the Dayao Kingdom will be in danger of extinction.
So he offered a reward across the country and issued a wanted order for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Wow, the Emperor has really spent a lot of money to catch the Crown Prince. He even offered a reward of 100,000 taels of silver. That's really generous."
"What a big deal! Your Highness the Crown Prince is holding the lives of the people of our country at stake. What's a reward of 100,000 taels of silver? Aren't the lives of everyone here valuable?"
"Yes, I didn't expect that His Highness is such a person. He actually ignored the lives of us ordinary people and went to help Mo Liguo fight Youzhou. People like this should not be the crown prince."
"That's it."
The common people looked at the notice and were filled with indignation.
The people all knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had given food and fodder to the Moli Kingdom's army.
They were in a panic all day long, always fearing that Youzhou would send a large army to destroy Dayao.
"Tsk, what are you afraid of? The King of Youzhou will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and he is a wise ruler. Even if you become his subject, it is not a loss, and there are many benefits." Suddenly, a middle-aged man in the crowd spoke mysteriously to everyone.
Everyone was shocked and called him a spy for speaking well of the King of Youzhou.
The middle-aged man was not angry. He said that he was a businessman who often traveled between the four countries. He had seen a lot and naturally knew it.
After saying this, he took out the magnifying glass he was going to sell and some strange things for everyone to see.
When everyone saw that the Dayao Kingdom did not have these things, they believed his words.
"Hey, brother, what are the benefits of being a subject of King Youzhou?" someone in the crowd asked curiously.
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and said, "If I tell you, don't accuse me of being a spy. I'm a businessman. I travel around the four countries every day for a few dollars. I'm exhausted. I can't bear this accusation."
The common people gathered around the middle-aged man, talking in unison: "Oh, no, we are just curious, tell us something strange."
The middle-aged man was very good at doing business. He immediately smiled and said, "I want to do business. You can't delay my business. How about this? You help me buy things and I will tell you."
Under normal circumstances, ordinary people would ignore him and just turn around and leave, but times are different now.
Now that the Dayao Kingdom has offended Youzhou, it may be destroyed at any minute. The people are afraid that they will become subjects of the King of Youzhou in the future, so they naturally want to find out the truth.
"Buy, buy, buy. Let's all buy, okay?" Everyone took one item after another and soon sold out all the goods on the middle-aged man's shelf.
The middle-aged man counted the thick banknotes, very satisfied, and said...
"In my opinion, you don't need to panic. Even if the Great Yao Kingdom is recovered by the King of Youzhou, it may be a good thing for you."
"What do you mean?" the people asked.
The middle-aged man continued, "You should know that Youzhou and Yuezhi have now merged. The people of Yuezhi are treated the same as the people of Youzhou. Their children go to school for free, and if they have no food to eat, they can get advance grain from the government."
"The King of Youzhou is a wise ruler who treats the people very well. You don't have to worry."
