Chapter 1425

"You are to take men immediately and rush to the riverside where the Cyclops is located. Once Zhao Gao and the grain prices have thrown Zhao Guo into complete chaos, I will send people to come. At that time, you will dig up the Cyclops and spread the ballad prepared by Lord Gao at the fastest possible speed."

Lei Bao was also incomparably excited.

"Sect Master, understood!"

"Previously, this subordinate misjudged the Dragon-Driving Envoy. Another day, I will surely bring a beauty myself to apologize to the Dragon-Driving Envoy!"

Lei Bao said, incomparably excited.

At this point, there was no doubt that the Ruthless Sect would truly usher in a great rise.

Bai Xin nodded faintly, then continued, "Elder Wang!"

"Sect Master!"

Elder Wang stood out, his eyes flickering.

Bai Xin ordered, "Elder Wang, you are to take the remaining sect members and expose this luck game!"

"This luck game is not fair at all; it is entirely manipulated by the Zhao Huang and Zhao Yuheng. That woman who was previously publicized as having won one hundred thousand taels of gold is a descendant of the imperial family!"

"In essence, this is just a staged play, a game to collect wealth. For ordinary commoners to play this luck game, delusional about getting rich overnight, is simply impossible. Of course, what I, the Sect Master, am referring to is Zhao Guo, and this luck game!"

"Hiss!"

Once these words were spoken.

Elder Wang gasped.

A crowd of Ruthless Sect members also collectively felt disbelief.

"Sect Master, I will go handle it immediately!"

But Elder Wang also couldn't help but ask, "Sect Master, is this also Lord Gao's method?"

Bai Xin nodded, her expression also quite complex.

"This luck game is also a great pit set by Lord Gao for Zhao Guo!"

"It appears to be able to collect wealth wantonly, but in reality, it hides malicious intent. When Zhao Gao and the grain situation erupt, the common people will surely be dissatisfied with the Zhao Huang. Exposing it at this time is meant to cause Zhao Guo to collapse!"

Once these words were spoken.

The crowd of Ruthless Sect members were all stunned.

Lei Bao's expression was complex, his heart shocked.

"Living Yama... the Living Yama is so ruthless!"

"He actually even set up this luck game; this is truly wanting Zhao Guo to die..."

At this moment, Lei Bao felt quite regretful.

He shouldn't have had such strong opinions about Gao Yang. If this were to reach Gao Yang's ears...

Wouldn't he be finished?

Gulp!

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his heart feeling quite panicked.

Bai Xin was the same; when she learned of this matter, the shock in her heart was not a bit less than Lei Bao's!

The Living Yama is too terrifying!

Bai Xin even understood very well in her heart that while the Living Yama appears to be supporting the Ruthless Sect and is the Ruthless Sect's Dragon-Driving Envoy.

But in reality, how is the Ruthless Sect not the sharpest blade in the Living Yama's hand for harvesting Zhao Guo?

On the streets of Handan.

Even though the Zhao Huang desperately wanted to block the news, under the secret spread by the Ruthless Sect, it still spread uncontrollably.

"Have you heard? The Great Qian Empress has turned against us. She has ordered the Great Qian people not to wear Zhao Gao silk. My Zhao Gao silk is finished!"

"What? There is actually such a thing?"

"Where did this madman come from? This is simply nonsense. Given the world situation, Great Qian must be on good terms with Zhao Guo. For the Great Qian Empress to issue such an order, she must be crazy!"

"Exactly, exactly, this news is simply ridiculously fake!"

"Hehe, a bunch of ignorant fools. This news couldn't be truer. Besides banning Zhao Gao silk, the Great Qian Empress has also implemented a grain ban on our Zhao Guo. Just look, has the price of Zhao Gao silk fallen today or not?"

On the streets of Handan City, a wave of discussion arose.

Following the earnest words of those with ulterior motives, this made everyone gradually uneasy.

Could it be that Zhao Gao silk is really going to crash?

At the same time.

As Gao Yang predicted, the news could not be hidden. The biggest nobles in Zhao Guo, besides the Zhao Huang, were that group of civil and military officials.

They themselves were the culprits who pushed the price of Zhao Gao silk to skyrocket, and the Zhao Gao silk hoarded in their homes had filled their warehouses.

When they learned this news, what was their first reaction?

Nothing else, just sell!

Scholar-officials and the Emperor rule the world together, but the interests of the officials and the interests of the monarch are fundamentally different.

Whether to put the country first or the family first, this has actually already been answered under the party strife of every dynasty.

What does the collapse of a dynasty have to do with the scholar-officials?

Even if the Emperor is replaced, the new Emperor cannot do without them to govern this vast country.

As long as one has money, power, and influence, it makes no difference who is the Emperor.

There will even be more Emperors if one is gone, but if one's own silver is gone, then it is truly gone!

If one person thinks that way and sells that way, it will not have a major impact on the entire Zhao Gao silk market.

But if everyone thinks that way, and everyone starts secretly sending people to crash the market, anxious to offload it at the first opportunity to lose a little less.

Then... the real crash began!

Office of the Censor-in-Chief.

Lin Yunfei asked with his hands behind his back in a deep voice, "What is the price of one bolt of Zhao Gao silk now?"

"Master Lin, the price of one bolt of Zhao Gao silk is around three taels!"

Lin Yunfei's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this.

Then he took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.

"Sell!"

"Send out all trusted aides, with Handan City as the center, at one tael and five qian... no, at the price of one tael, sell it all off!"

"Sell as much as there is!"

The steward was very shocked upon hearing this.

"Master Lin, at this price, we will lose money on every bolt..."

But before the steward could finish his words, he was suddenly slapped across the face.

Lin Yunfei said in a rage, "Are you still talking about losing money now? It's good enough if we can sell it at all!"

"Otherwise, when the news spreads, no one will want it even for one tael!"

The steward dared not make a sound and hurried to go.

But Lin Yunfei called the steward back and said, "Also, while the news hasn't spread yet, buy up grain in the Handan area for me, and send out fast horses with silver to take advantage of the time difference and buy up grain comprehensively!"

"In this wave, grain is the main force!"

When Lin Yunfei said this, his face was ferocious.

Whether the commoners of Zhao Guo die or not, what does that have to do with him? As long as he doesn't die and can make a fortune, that's all that matters!

Coincidentally.

Handan City, Residence of the General who Guards the State.

A middle-aged man wearing armor and possessing a natural air of authority said, "Hurry, hurry, hurry, someone is playing dirty, so what are we waiting for?"

"He is selling off at one tael of silver, I will sell off at eight hundred wen. If we don't sell it now, it will really be stuck in our hands, and then even foot-binding cloths will be considered too stiff!"

In an instant, there were countless anonymous sellers in Handan City. They had large quantities of Zhao Gao silk that was previously hard to find and had risen to three taels of silver!

And the price kept dropping!

One tael and five qian!

One tael!

Nine hundred wen!

Eight hundred wen!

And as long as cash is provided, the transaction can be made immediately, without any hesitation.

The price of Zhao Gao silk was smashed down without warning.

Inside the Imperial Palace.
