Cheng Jin originally thought that Meng Pingan was an assassin that was hiding his strength out of sympathy, but he never thought that he would actually be the mastermind and that he would be the mastermind instead.

Gao Mucheng also did not expect to get such an important clue from Meng Pingan. He gestured to the surrounding soldiers, signalling for them to bring the woman out immediately, and went closer to Meng Pingan, enunciating each word, "Old Meng, who are the other masterminds, why did you assassinate the King, and how did you find the assassin? As long as you can explain everything clearly, I can guarantee the safety of your love, and no one can touch a single hair on her head."

Meng Pingan lowered his head, his expression pained, and he slowly closed his eyes, and said: "As long as we kill Feng King, my Mo Country will have the hope of restoring our nation."

"That's impossible." Gao Mucheng said with a serious expression, "The Shao Family either died or was killed, and are under house arrest. Even if the King really did meet with mishap, it is impossible for their Mo Country to return to their country. Has Elder Meng ever seen a country without a ruler?"

"Ha ha ? ?" Meng Pingan suddenly laughed out loud, and said: "You think that the King's sons are all under your control, but you're wrong, the King still has a child that isn't under your control."

Even Cheng Jin, Zhang Xiao and Li Tong, who were sitting at the side and listening, stood up at the same time. There was an expression of disbelief on their faces, as they looked at Meng Pingan without blinking.

Shao Fang still had a son to escape from, how was this possible? Shao Fang's heirs were recorded in the records, and their own side had carefully checked. If there really was a son who was on the run, their side would definitely know about it.

Gao Mucheng moved closer, almost touching Meng Pingan's body. He was both nervous and excited, but he tried his best to maintain a calm tone as he asked gently, "Then ? What was the name of the son of the King Mo who was escaping? Where is it now? "

Meng Pingan said, "The Young Master's name is Shao Yuan, the seventh son of the King. However, you don't have to wishful thinking anymore.

Gao Mucheng's heart trembled, but he no longer had time to check if Meng Pingan's words were true or false. He rolled his eyes and asked, "Is it the order Shao Yuan passed down to you guys to find an assassin to assassinate the King?"

"The Young Master did not give us any orders. The matter of the assassination attempt on the Feng King was entirely up to us."

"You? Other than you, who else would it be? "

"The grandson of Dragon River County, Zheng Fei of Tai An County, Cai Ping of Tianyang County ?" In one breath, Meng Pingan said the names of six or seven people, and then he said, "The reward for assassinating the Feng King was something that we shared.

While Meng Pingan was speaking, someone beside him recorded down his words. After he finished speaking, Gao Mucheng turned to look at the person writing the records, and then asked: "Is what Elder Meng said true?"

"If you don't believe me, you can go investigate. This old one only has one thing to request of you, and that thing was done by this old one. This old one's family is completely unaware, and they want to kill me or cut me to pieces. It would make things difficult for this old one's family. "

Now, no one cared about how to deal with Meng Pingan and his family, as everyone's thoughts were all on his confession. The information inside was too much and too important, it was a very important matter, and it covered a wide area.

With the interrogation coming to an end, Cheng Jin ordered for Meng Pingan and his family to be looked after while he took out the confession letter and started to send out missions for the Hidden Arrow Crew.

As the names that Meng Pingan mentioned were all in different counties, it was very troublesome to investigate, so they needed to split up.

Cheng Jin sent out a large number of Hidden Arrow Crew to the people mentioned by Meng Pingan, and some of them were doing both scouting and covert interviews with them. Of course, finding results was not something that could be accomplished in a short period of time, and Tang Yin and Ling Shuang did not have the time to continue wasting on the Chang City.

On the third day after capturing the assassin, Tang Yin and Ling Shuang left the Chang City. Tang Yin headed northwards, returning to the Yan City of Feng Country.

When they were about to part, Ling Shuang was reluctant to part with Tang Yin, but because there were too many people around, even if she had a lot of things to say, she didn't know where to start.

What Tang Yin was most worried about was Ling Shuang's safety, and he repeatedly warned Ling Shuang that she must be careful on the road, strictly guarding against assassins. Also, he instructed Qing Yu to carefully escort Ling Shuang all the way, without making any mistakes.

Actually, even if Tang Yin did not explain all these, Qing Yu would have done the same.

Qing Yu had a good impression of Ling Shuang, and the two of them often met in private. Initially, Ling Shuang wanted to ask about the information on Feng Country through Qing Yu, but the more they got to know each other, the more they got to know each other.

Tang Yin and Ling Shuang had returned to their respective countries, but the assassination attempt on their Chang City had not ended there.

Through the Dark Arrow's meticulous investigation, it could be confirmed that Meng Pingan's testimony was not false. The names that he mentioned were all real people, and all of them were famous people with great wealth.

Some of them had originally known each other, some of them had been introduced to others by acquaintances, and all of them had the same thoughts of restoring Mo Country, so it was natural for them to walk together.

In the early stages of Feng Country occupation, they had the money to help the local resistance force. Unfortunately, as long as the regular army of Feng Country arrived, the resistance force would instantly disappear into thin air.

Seeing that the opposing forces couldn't even withstand a single blow, they too felt discouraged. Just as they were in a state of despair, someone suddenly approached them. He claimed to be from the Chuan Country, and was a secret envoy sent by the Chuan Country.

He said that Shao Fang still had a young son called Shao Yuan, and did not land in the hands of the Feng Ren. Now that he had escaped to Chuan Country, as long as he could think of a way to kill the Feng King Tang Yin, then the Feng Country would certainly become chaotic and he would have no time to think about Mo Country.

Even if Feng Ren killed all the hostages of the Mo Country royal family, with the royal blood of Shao Yuan present, no one would be afraid of Mo Country and not be able to inherit the throne.2

Although Meng Pingan and the others were all wealthy people, they were not officials of the imperial court. They were not sure if Shao Fang truly had a son like Shao Yuan.

It was the seal of the Mo Country Royal Family, and on the seal was clearly carved the two words, "Shao Yuan".

Each country's royal seal was different, and the craftsmanship was unique and difficult to imitate. The fact that the secret history of Chuan Country had taken out the seal of the Mo Country Royal Family was basically enough to prove Shao Yuan's identity. It was also because of this seal that Meng Pingan and the others had no doubts about his words.

After the Chuan Country envoys left, Meng Pingan and the rest decided to hire an assassin to assassinate Tang Yin. At that time, Tang Yin was still in the Zhenjiang, but felt that he would have to return to the Feng Country sooner or later. As long as he returned to the Feng Country, he would be able to pass by the Provincial Capital of the Zeping County, and coincidentally, at this time, the County Head Palace would release a notice about the renovation of the Tavern, which Meng Pingan thought was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

There would definitely be brave men under the title of 'Expulsion of the Berserker Knot, Recovery of the Great Mo'. Afterwards, when they heard the news, an endless stream of assassins came, and most of them were wandering practitioners of Mo Country. After careful selection, they finally decided to use the Spirit Cultivator of Dark to assassinate them.

What happened next was precisely the scene of Tang Yin and Ling Shuang being assassinated within the Tavern, and this was the sequence of events.

It did not record that Shao Fang had a son like Shao Yuan, which was strictly forbidden. If there really was someone inside, even if he was an illegitimate child who did not want to see the light of day, there would definitely be a record of him. But hearing Meng Pingan's words, the fact that there was an envoy from the Chuan Country and Shao Yuan's royal family seal was inconceivable.

It didn't matter whether Shao Yuan was real or fake, since he was far away from the Chuan Country and could not be verified with hidden arrows, it was also impossible for him to run to the Chuan Country to capture Shao Yuan and bring him back. They couldn't do anything about Shao Yuan, but they couldn't escape the accomplices that Meng Pingan had told them to do.

Meng Pingan's accomplices were all rich people on the wealthy side, who had huge businesses. Just these few people alone numbered more than a thousand people, both young and old.

The Dark Arrow followed Cheng Jin's orders to capture all of them, and under severe torture, confirmed that Meng Pingan's confession, and that they were indeed involved in the plan to assassinate Tang Yin. Then, the Dark Arrow executed all of the nine clans in Meng Pingan's clan, as well as the nine clans, for murdering the Sovereign.

It was supposed to be the end of it, but it was far from over. Cheng Jin wanted to use this matter to suppress Mo Chen's resistance towards the Feng Country and increase the intensity of the situation. Although the mastermind behind the assassination had died, there were still comrades around. It was not known that this matter concerned the king's safety, so they had to investigate it strictly, and would rather kill it by mistake than let a fish slip through the net. If something like this happened again in the future, Wang Song would be the one to take the lead.

His message had reached all the counties of the various counties, scaring all the County Head s quite a bit. When the king was assassinated on the Zeping County, the hidden arrow would immediately kill County Head Wang Song. If such a thing were to happen to his own land, then his own head would have to move.

After receiving Cheng Jin's message, how could the County Head dare to be negligent? They all used all their skills to investigate the masterminds' accomplices, of course the people they were investigating were the ones who were close to the masterminds and had a lot of interactions with them.

One had to know that those few people were all wealthy merchants, so their interactions in the mall and their connections in private involved too many people, so the County Head in the various counties all followed Cheng Jin's orders strictly. They would rather kill wrongly than let it go wrong. For these people, each county used the most direct, simplest, and most unlikely method ? Kill!

Cheng Jin's message developed into a bloody killing incident in the end. This period of time could be considered the darkest period in the history of Mo Country, causing people to panic, and everyone to feel threatened. The County Head s everywhere seemed to be fighting each other, who killed the more traitors, afraid that they would fall behind and cause people to criticize them.
