‘King Qi Residence’!

These three words were written in bold and vigorous calligraphy atop the gate to the estate.

“Has everything been taken care of?”

A muscular figure loomed in the dim light of the hall, his body exuding a dangerous aura. King Qi, in his dragon robe, had apparently been waiting for some time.

“Your Highness, everything has been taken care of. Wang Chong is now the Demon King of Slaughter in the capital and the city clamors with the accusation that he is a bloodthirsty devil. No one supports him now!”

The two spies of the King Qi Residence kneeled on the ground.

“You weren’t discovered, right?” King Qi asked.

“We were not! We were extremely cautious. But we noticed Tibetans and Goguryeons around the crowd. It appears that they hired people to mix with the crowd and guide the conversations. We also noticed five or six other factions besides this!” the two spies reported.

“Oh!”

King Qi was somewhat taken aback. But he quickly regained his composure and smiled.

“Haha, good! Don’t worry about them. This is just everybody hitting a man when he’s down. This kid offended so many people that even if I do nothing, he’s doomed!”

King Qi was satisfied to hear this report, a sinister smile appearing on his face.

With Wang Chong’s impeachment and Master Zhu’s appearance, he now had a rare opportunity to suppress King Song and deal with the Wang Clan, resolving these problems that had plagued him for so long. And King Qi could certainly not pass up this excellent opportunity to beat a man while they were down.

“Hmph, Wang Chong, let’s see what you do now!”

King Qi turned around, staring into the darkness as his eyes flashed with vicious light.

……

Day after day passed. After being stripped of his positions, Wang Chong was forbidden from leaving the Wang Family Residence for a period of at least two months so that he could think over his errors. But even so, everything proceeded according to plan as his orders were transmitted through Su Shixuan, Zhang Que, and the others.

“Milord, the first batch of five thousand people from Sindhu have set off for the promised land. The others are boarding the boats to follow.

“I’ve already reported this matter back to the substitute High Priest in Sindhu. He is extremely satisfied with this matter, and the High Priest has also sent word that they believe in Milord. Moreover, regardless of what life is like overseas, it will probably be better than staying in Sindhu.”

Xue Qianjun stood straight in the study, holding several letters as he reported to Wang Chong. Next to him were Zhang Que, Su Shixuan, Xu Keyi, and all the others.

“Mm, I see!” Wang Chong nodded and turned to Xu Keyi. “What of the great clans?”

“According to our previous agreement, all the great clans have maintained utmost secrecy. The hybrid rice is now secretly being planted in several prefectures and commanderies in the south. While the rainfall in the north is lacking and the terrain elsewhere is not suitable for rice, the other places say they will try to plant the hybrid rice as soon as possible. The entire matter is being accomplished through the influence of the great clans, not the official bureaucracy. Many people don’t even know that they’re planting hybrid rice.
