Beitang He seemed very relieved at this time. Faced with Meng Zhao's questioning, he did not shirk and admitted it generously. Of course, a corresponding explanation was also indispensable.
However, his explanation was based on the fact that his secret was revealed and he had evil thoughts. For him, this was excusable, but for Meng Zhao, this may not be the case.
However, as the old saying goes, Beitang He's royal status was his greatest talisman. Even if Meng Zhao had the idea of falling out, he did not dare to show it.
Because once he really fell out, it would be difficult for Meng Zhao to end it, so he could only suppress his emotions temporarily.
Grandmasters are also human beings, not invincible or omnipotent, and have their own difficulties.
"Oh? I'm just guessing that the Crown Prince may have contact with someone from the evil path. Is it true?"
Beitanghe nodded bitterly, and the two beautiful female guards were stunned. There was no one else around, so they confessed,
"My father was originally assigned to sit in Lingwu City by the Emperor for no other reason than to gain some benefits.
You can go to what Lingwu City looks like. Brother Meng, you also know that my Yanping County Prince's Palace is just a decoration. The big and small forces in the city just treat the people in my Palace as mascots and give some benefits. They don't take it seriously at all. .
My father is a heartless person who also loves to eat, drink and have fun. He spends a lot of money and the savings in the house are getting scarce day by day.
I worked hard to maintain it, and there were people in the evil way who took a fancy to my royal status and took the initiative to hook up, so we cooperated, earned some expenses for the palace, and accumulated some information.
This matter is extremely confidential. Even my father knows very little about it. I hope Brother Meng can keep it a secret for me.
Otherwise, once this matter spreads out, the Yanping County Prince's Palace may become a thing of the past. "
Being associated with the evil way was an unpunishable crime in the past. Now that Beitang Shu was assassinated, the evil way is even more taboo and cannot be contaminated in the slightest.
Meng Zhao naturally knew the stakes involved, so he nodded in agreement and said,
"I will keep this matter a secret. Only God knows and the earth knows. You know it and I know it, and it will never be leaked.
However, the prince must also promise me that those who have dealt with me will never do it again. Moreover, they must also give me an explanation and pay something.
It doesn’t matter if it’s someone who does it, it’s used to relieve my anger and relieve my anger.
It is a certain amount of resources, whether property or property, used to compensate for my losses.
Otherwise, if I go crazy, they will not get any benefit. "
"Your Majesty, don't think you are being alarmist. Although Lingwu City is my foundation, it is not everything I am.
At worst, Lingwu City will be completely destroyed. I can still lead the Meng family back to Nan'an County in Jizhou.
And with my talent in martial arts and my connections with the Meng family, it will not be difficult for me to make a comeback in the future.
But now, the fool who is secretly doing something and thinking he has the upper hand will definitely have to pay a bloody price for it. "
This is where Meng Zhao's confidence lies, his own talent and potential, and his current martial arts combat prowess.
Of course he would not do such a lose-lose thing if it was not necessary.
However, once some people think they have caught his weakness and feel that they can act unscrupulously in front of him, then he will have the courage to fight decisively.
Beitanghe's heart trembled, this was what he was worried about.
Meng Zhao was young, his reputation was known throughout China, he was an extremely talented man, and he had the backing of the huge Meng family.
Even if you are not in Lingwu City, you can achieve success anywhere you go.
Therefore, Lingwu City may be important to him, but it is not essential.
He is different from the Yanping County Prince's Mansion. If Lingwu City is destroyed, where will he find such an excellent fiefdom, and where will he find the time and energy to re-develop contacts and accumulate strength?
Therefore, although Meng Zhao's request may be a bit excessive, he still has to go all out to promote its completion.
"Leave these to me, I won't let you down."
"Also, I have some ideas for several companies that are used for face-saving projects. You can see what needs to be coordinated."
After that, in the wine glass held in Meng Zhao's hand, the fruit wine turned into a slender stream of water, which rolled up into the air. Under the stimulation of the true energy, it turned into words one by one. Beitang He was frightened when he saw it. It's a dull pain.
As mentioned before, this was used by Beitang He and some forces in the city to compensate Meng Zhao and find some unlucky people to make up for his losses, in order to prevent Meng Zhao from going crazy and completely fighting the evil way, and giving the Pudu Sect and others a chance. Reactionary forces can take advantage of this opportunity and cause greater losses.
For this reason, everyone tacitly agreed to sacrifice some people.
However, according to Meng Zhao's losses, if we select three or five small forces and annex them, we can not only make up for the losses, but also make a small profit, and the influence in the city will not be great.
In addition, Beitang He and some forces actively endorsed the various schemes that have been suffered by the Meng family recently on these forces, so that they can become famous. After destroying these families, they can play a more important role in establishing their prestige. .
However, the forces that Meng Zhao is now targeting are not just a few, but eleven, and four of them can be regarded as first-rate forces in Lingwu City, with profound foundations.
Meng Zhao didn't want to eat some scraps of meat at all, but wanted to swallow the whole cow.
No matter what he did, the noise he would cause would definitely not be small. Just because Meng Zhao's own strength would expand dramatically after annexing these forces was not what he wanted to see.
After all, in his current cooperation with Meng Zhao, he was at a disadvantage intentionally or unintentionally and was on the subordinate side.
If Meng Zhao's power expands much further, what qualifications does he, the crown prince of Yanping County, have to make irresponsible remarks in front of Meng Zhao?
Even with the so-called royal status, it is difficult to make up for the gap in hard power.
Bei Tanghe's face was very ugly. He was silent for a long time before he said,
"Brother Meng, is your appetite too big? If you really attack them, the turmoil caused will definitely not be small. Can you think about it more?"
Their purpose was to compensate Meng Zhao, not to give him an opportunity to expand. Their nature was very different.
Meng Zhao waved his hand and said calmly,
"Your Majesty, you are overly worried. Compared to starting a war with the evil demons, some of the natives in Lingwu City are just local chickens and dogs. They can be destroyed easily, and the subsequent impact will be small.
Moreover, I am not eating alone, but I can digest it and give 30% of the harvest to the palace. I think it is also a rare income for the prince. "
The evil path is a general term that represents a dark force with a huge foundation that radiates to the entire land of China. Lingwu City is just a corner. Once a war breaks out and the local forces are defeated, they can still receive a steady stream of funding from the surrounding areas.
This is not the case with the local forces in Lingwu City. They are just some indigenous people. Although they have some background, they are not enough to compare with Meng Zhao.
And as Meng Zhao said, once they are eliminated, it will be the end of the world, and they will inevitably fall into a protracted battle.
Compared with the battle with evil demons, the internal fighting in Lingwu City can still be maintained within a certain range.
