Chapter 166 The Truth
Until later.

When Luo Yang returned from [Prince Taiping's Mansion] and brought back the information that "Sunflower Sect is a six-door secret organization", Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang instantly figured out many things that they had not thought about before.

Because according to their previous investigation.

The real culprit in the massacre of the Sunflower Sect was actually none other than the three elders of the Sunflower Sect, the East, West and South.

in other words.

Even the three elders of the Sunflower Sect are all insiders.

Only in this way can we explain why all the disciples of the Sunflower Sect were silently killed with one blow, and most of them died in front of the square table in the center of the room instead of on the bed.

Because the martial arts of the disciples of the Sunflower Sect were taught by the three elders, they would naturally understand the flaws in each disciple's martial arts.

In addition, the three elders have won the trust of every disciple.

So that night.

That was probably what happened that night.

And this time.

Only the Sunflower Sect could transport so much escort money silently when it was "full of evildoers".

Disciples of the Sunflower Sect would be even less suspicious.

That's why I specially prepared a "Millennium Black Ice Needle".

After the escort silver was transported to the Sunflower Sect, the members of the Eight Escort Bureaus of the Central Plains had just left. Under the orders of the three elders, the disciples of the Sunflower Sect transported the escort silver from the "secret elevator" to the back mountain and crashed into it. Among the merchant ships prepared in advance in the twelve chain docks.

When the three elders knocked on the doors of the Sunflower Sect disciples one by one, the Sunflower Sect disciples would naturally welcome them in and pour water and make tea for the three elders at the table.

Probably because the person behind the scenes gave him some kind of promise that he couldn't refuse, Elder Dong was able to be ruthless.

In the Sunflower Sect, the orders of the four elders are absolute. After Elder Bei was killed, even if the Sunflower Sect disciples had some doubts about the behavior of carrying the escort silver that night, no one would say anything.

It's just that Elder Dong's martial arts skills are too high. Even if it is a sneak attack, the person behind the scenes is not sure that he will be killed with one blow.

This method of killing was already concealed enough, and the man had another stab after Elder Dong's death. Normally, there would be almost no flaws.

Because the three of them get along all the year round, although their own unique skills are different, if they deliberately imitate, they can completely imitate the similarities between the other two.

This is also the reason why when Luo Yang inspected the bodies of Sunflower Sect disciples, he found three types of wounds that were very similar with only slight differences.

The three elders suddenly attacked and no disciple could escape.

If the three elders could find a reason, such as: "Keep it in a more private place."

And in this process.

Elder Dong suddenly killed the other two people and silenced them.

And after all the Sunflower Sect disciples died.

After deducing the massacre of the Sunflower Sect, the whole process of "theft of escort money" can naturally be easily deduced in reverse.

It's a pity that Elder Dong didn't expect that the person behind the scenes was far more ruthless than he imagined. Not only did he want to silence Elder Xi and Elder South, but he, Elder Dong, also wanted to silence him.

It's a pity that he met Luo Yang.

Wait until all the escorts and silver are loaded onto the merchant ship.

Naturally, the merchant ships of the Twelve Link Wharf can leave quietly in front of their own guards.

As for the Sunflower Sect, after all the disciples returned to their rooms, the three elders began to take action to silence everyone who knew about the matter and create an unsolved case.

However, Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang had already reasoned to this point at that time.

But there is still a little doubt in my heart that cannot be solved.

That is who can persuade the three elders at the same time, so that they will not hesitate to kill the entire Sunflower Sect with their own hands, but also cooperate to complete this "escort silver theft case".

What is the purpose of the three elders doing this?
Is it just for money? Although it was not impossible, both Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang felt that this possibility was not high at the time.

It wasn't until the two of them learned that the Sunflower Sect was a secret organization of the Six Gates that some speculations suddenly arose in their minds.

Generally speaking.

It is difficult for people in government agencies to be persuaded by gold and silver, because in today's Ming Dynasty system, power is far more tempting than money.

Therefore, the people who can convince the three elders of the Sunflower Sect at the same time are most likely only people who are officials in the same court and have far more power than them.

At that time, the first candidate that came to their minds was King Taiping.

But thinking about it later, it doesn’t feel like it.

Because although the Taiping King and Liumen were officials in the same dynasty, they were not in the same system. No matter how powerful the Taiping King was, the temptation for them was very limited.

So here it is.

There must be another "middleman".

Just when he thought of this, Luo Yang informed the two of them about the second news he had discovered at the [Prince Taiping Mansion].

After learning about King Taiping's secret possession of weapons, Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang suddenly figured out that there might be something behind the "theft of escort money" case.

at this time.

Chu Liuxiang thought of Ying Wanli again. Several people just wanted to find Ying Wanli to try to get some news. But this time they not only found Ying Wanli, but also met Zhu Zhanji by chance.

That was until this time.

The entire case was finally cleared up.

······
Today, the Ming emperor has three legitimate sons.

They are:
Prince Zhu Gaochi.

The second prince Zhu Gaoxu.

The third prince Zhu Gaosui.

Royal affairs can be said to be complicated or simple, but in the final analysis, everyone wants to sit in that seat.

And this time, the "theft of escort money" and the "annihilation case of the Sunflower Sect" are actually just a small episode in this internal battle within the royal family.

The whole cause of the whole incident.

In fact, it starts from the sudden shortage of pay for the border troops more than two months ago.

In fact, this "military pay crisis" was originally a situation orchestrated by the second prince Zhu Gaoxu and the third prince Zhu Gaosui of the Ming Dynasty.

Border frictions between Daming and Ming Dynasty have intensified recently.

There was a sudden shortage of military pay, so the emperor naturally had to urgently mobilize military pay and send it to the border.

However, the military pay temporarily mobilized this time could not be easily delivered to the border generals from the beginning, because the second prince Zhu Gaoxu had already made a plan with King Taiping and would steal the military pay from the Sunflower Faction.

Once military pay is stolen.

The top priority of the imperial court was not to recover military pay, but to urgently mobilize troops to the border, on the one hand, to appease the morale of its own troops and prevent riots. On the one hand, it deters enemy countries and stabilizes the border situation.

This was also the reason why Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang had always felt that the court had never cared much about the "theft of escort money", because the border situation at that time was a more difficult problem that needed to be solved.

And now the Ming Dynasty.

The most suitable person who wants to intimidate the enemy and at the same time have enough prestige to appease the morale of his own military is the brave and capable second prince Zhu Gaoxu.

Simultaneously.

Since Zhu Gaoxu is to be sent to the border to suppress the enemy, he must naturally be given the right to mobilize troops...
