Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

After Fang Dongyun left, Zhou Haochen commanded the Town Demon Division to suppress the Sanhe Gang.

Wiping out this tumor that was the Sanhe Gang, countless people in Wanping County wanted to build a living shrine for him.

Once the Sanhe Gang was eradicated, Huo Liang, this chess piece, also lost its purpose.

With a whoosh!

The silkworm-like Mind-Controlling Gu worm emerged from Huo Liang's forehead, leaving behind a sinister blood hole.

After retrieving the Mind-Controlling Gu worm, Huo Liang's spirit also dissipated.

In fact, as soon as the Mind-Controlling Gu worm entered Huo Liang's body, Huo Liang's spirit had already shattered. It was just forcibly pieced together by the Mind-Controlling Gu worm, appearing no different from an ordinary person on the surface.

When the Mind-Controlling Gu worm left the body, the spirit, which had been forcibly pieced together, shattered directly, leaving no trace of burial.

After cleaning up the mess and waiting for half an hour, Helian Hai and Yu Shenxing arrived late, flying through the air.

Not seeing Taishu Qing's body, Zhou Haochen's heart sank, and he asked.

"Where is Taishu Qing?"

Helian Hai and Yu Shenxing shook their heads in unison.

"He got away!"

"However... Taishu Qing is seriously injured, and it is estimated that he will not be able to cause trouble in the short term."

Seriously injured!

This result is both good and bad!

Zhou Haochen sighed softly.

After returning, Yu Shenxing secretly observed Zhou Haochen, recalling the scene from their previous confrontation in his mind.

The black mark that suddenly lost control within Taishu Qing's body.

If it weren't for that mark losing control, they wouldn't have been able to defeat Taishu Qing for a while.

It could be said that the uncontrolled black mark was too crucial.

"Could it be His Highness?"

Yu Shenxing's heart stirred slightly, then he smiled wryly.

"So what if it's His Highness?"

"It's none of my business anyway."

Yu Shenxing didn't want to know what that black mark was at all.

If it was really the Thirteenth Prince who did it, using the Town Demon Division for personal gain and lining his own pockets, he would just turn a blind eye.

Because the Sanhe Gang really had colluded with the White Lotus Sect.

That was enough!

A great achievement!

The case of the Earth Mother Ritual could also be closed.

A result that everyone was happy with.

"Your Highness, my old injury has relapsed. I will leave the report of today's operation to Your Highness," Yu Shenxing cupped his hands.

Zhou Haochen chuckled. This Yu Shenxing was also a wonderful person.

Reporting today's operation to Emperor Qian Yuan was a face-showing matter.

He didn't take any credit for this obvious achievement, leaving it all to himself, which was very sensible.

"Thank you, Lord Yu."

"Lord Yu is a pillar of the country and must take good care of his body. If it leaves any sequelae, I will feel uneasy!"

A quarter of an hour later.

The sweep ended, and a large amount of property was found in the Sanhe Gang, roughly estimated to be worth three million taels.

The deficit in the secret treasury was definitely more than three million taels.

But with this sum of money, although it could not be completely filled, it could be justified.

The missing part was naturally squandered by the White Lotus Sect.

The operation ended successfully.

Zhou Haochen got up, left Wanping County, and went to the East Palace before going to the Imperial Palace.

"Thirteenth Brother, what wind has brought you here? Aren't you investigating the case of the White Lotus Sect?" The Crown Prince took a sip of fragrant tea, a slight surprise on his face.

"The case of the White Lotus Sect has been solved!"

"Solved?"

The Crown Prince exclaimed, his hand shaking, almost spilling the tea in the teacup.

The Town Demon Division had spent so long and had no clue about the case. In the hands of the Thirteenth Brother, it was solved in just a few days?

"Brother doesn't need to be surprised. I also happened to catch the White Lotus Sect's trail by chance."

"Does Brother know how the White Lotus Sect managed to evade the blockade and leave Beizhili when the waterways and land routes of Beizhili were all blocked?" Zhou Haochen asked rhetorically.

The Crown Prince frowned slightly. He knew that Zhou Haochen would not be aimless.

Since he asked such a question, it was mostly related to him at this time.

Thinking of this, the Crown Prince's expression was uncertain.

"Please, Thirteenth Brother, enlighten me."

"The Sanhe Gang!"

"Uh—"

The Crown Prince's face instantly couldn't hold back.

The gloom on his face was like dark clouds before a storm, unable to dissipate.

The one helping the White Lotus Sect to escape was his own money bag?

The veins on the Crown Prince's temples throbbed wildly, and his hands clenched the armrests, almost crushing the pear wood armrests into pieces.

"Thirteenth Brother, is this true?"

"The White Lotus Sect's evil people are of great importance. You can't just talk nonsense."

"Brother, not only do I know about this, but Chief Yu of the Town Demon Division also knows, and even Fang Dongyun knows everything."

"Oh—there's one thing I forgot to tell Brother."

"Fang Dongyun discovered the White Lotus Sect's smuggling ships when clearing the Sanhe Gang and has already gone to hunt them down."

As soon as Zhou Haochen finished speaking, the atmosphere in the air instantly solidified to the extreme, as if water could be squeezed out.

The Crown Prince's face changed drastically, and a trace of fear and gratitude appeared in his eyes.

He was terrified that the Second Prince had caught his weakness and would definitely bite him and not let go, instructing the censor to impeach him.

He was grateful that the Thirteenth Brother was on his side, notifying him of this important news in time, giving himself time to react.

As long as he cleaned up the loose ends before the Second Prince acted, and erased all connections between him and the Sanhe Gang, even if the Second Prince wanted to implicate him, it would be useless.

"Thirteenth Brother, this matter, Father Emperor..."

"Brother, I solved the case of the White Lotus Sect. You were the first to share this happy event. I haven't had time to report to Father Emperor yet."

Hearing this, the Crown Prince's gloomy face turned from cloudy to sunny, blooming with a smile.

He couldn't wait to say, Thirteenth Brother, you are really my good brother.

"Thirteenth Brother, I will remember today's matter in my heart."

"I still have important matters to attend to, so I won't delay your report to Father Emperor."

Zhou Haochen smiled.

He accepted the Crown Prince's favor.

"Since Brother still has important matters, then I won't disturb you."

"Little brother, I'll take my leave first."

After Zhou Haochen left, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in the Crown Prince's eyes.

"Kill everyone related to the Sanhe Gang."

After giving the order, the Crown Prince showed a trace of melancholy again.

"It's a pity... a good money bag is gone!"

......

Imperial Palace.

"Summon the Thirteenth Prince for an audience."

"This son greets Father Emperor."

"Chen'er, I heard that you solved the case of the White Lotus Sect?"

"Reporting to Father Emperor, this son found that the Sanhe Gang colluded with the White Lotus Sect to transfer the White Lotus Sect's evil people out of Beizhili."

"Fortunately, this son discovered the White Lotus Sect's conspiracy in time, and with the cooperation of Chief Yu and the Town Demon Division, he took down the Sanhe Gang in one fell swoop and recovered three million taels of stolen goods."

"What about the Tree Heart?"

"The Tree Heart has already been used by the White Lotus Sect's evil people and cannot be recovered."

Hearing this, the corners of Emperor Qian Yuan's mouth raised slightly, obviously in a good mood.

"The Thirteenth Prince has made meritorious service in solving the case. Reward him with a Xuanyuan Sword Talisman."

Zhou Haochen's eyes lit up when he heard the reward.

Although his Father Emperor was very selfish, he really rewarded meritorious service.

Unlike some unscrupulous capitalists who only draw cakes and never pay.

The Xuanyuan Sword Talisman was the third-grade opportunity referred to in the divination.
