Within the royal palace.
Zhao Nan Yue, who was sitting in the lower right side of the study, heard the guard’s report.
His face was a little gloomy and his brows were slightly furrowed.
As a Patriarch, Zhao Nan Yue was not only powerful, but also politically sensitive.
In just ten days, the entire Wanxiang Kingdom had been governed by him in a submissive manner.
Those ministers were all honest, fearing Zhao Nan Yue’s big stick with sweet dates.
But this rumour seemed to Zhao Nan Yue as if it had been premeditated.
It had just erupted into a tsunami.
And once he started to use his power to suppress it now.
The entire Wanxiang Kingdom would be rumoured to have been poked by these rumours tomorrow.
This is the reason why they are sending out their power to suppress those rumours, after all, the clearer the better.
If you didn’t do those things, then why are you suppressing them?
The rumours have spread rapidly throughout the country.
Zhao Nan Yue’s face showed a headache.
Lin Mo had thrown all the mess to himself, an old man, while he himself ran back to Da Qu.
“Have everyone at the Black Eagle Terrace go out in full force to investigate where those rumours are coming from.”
“If the source is found, directly have someone secretly ask some questions with a big stick and sweet dates, and have them sign a confidentiality agreement.”
“As for the consequences of violating it ……”
Zhao Nan Yue pondered for a moment, the result of this violation is actually not good to set.
You set it too hard, if it’s a straightforward capital offence.
There might be a lot of people signing the confidentiality agreement, and then they all violate it.
Can the Wanxiang Kingdom still kill everyone?
If you make it too light, it will make their hearts despise the contract.
“Just violate it after each person needs to compensate the Wanxiang State five million, if they are rich ……”
“Just straight up fifty million, and so on, drawn up according to the situation.”
“Yes.”
After hearing Zhao Nan Yue’s words, the guards nodded and retreated out.
The only scene left in the main hall was Zhao Nan Yue’s headache.
In the Thousand Walled Villages, the various fortress masters who had heard the news circulating in the Wanxiang Kingdom had gathered together.
They also wanted to know if the news was really true.
If it was true, who was secretly helping Lin Mo to grow the night vine.
“Ruo A-Gong, now the whole Wanxiang Kingdom is in an uproar, is there anyone from our Thousand Walled Villages secretly doing so or not?”
A fortress lord inquired to the old man standing in the very centre.
Although his tone was very eager, he was very respectful.
This was because the old man in front of him was the last of the previous generation of the Thousand Villages who was still alive.
The words of this Walled Village Master also evoked a resonant voice from all the other Walled Village Masters.
“Yes Ruoagong, if someone has quietly planted the night vine gra*s just come forward.”
“A man should stand up to the sky, if he dares to do something, he should dare to do it.”
“That’s right, no wind, no waves, could all these things really be made up by someone else?”
“It’s possible that inside the herbs that are shipped out every day as well as the food, there will be someone hiding the night vine herb.”
The voices of the people arguing around them made Ruo A Gong, who was standing in the very centre holding a walking stick, look bitter and not say a word.
It was only after everyone had suddenly fallen silent, one by two, that he slowly opened his mouth and said in a deep voice.
“One by two have finished, is it my turn to speak as an old man?”
Ruo A-Gong’s words caused everyone to fall silent, each one lowering their heads in silence.
Ruo A-Gong’s gaze swept round, his tone tinged with sadness.
“The reason why my Thousand Walled Villages are called Thousand Walled Villages is because of the Thousand Walled Villages, which are united by the same breath!”
“Look at yourselves now and be suspicious of everyone!”
“Who has planted the night vine, come out yourself.”
If Agong finally smiled when he saw that no one had come out.
“Good, you are all good men and women of my Thousand Villages, but I hope.”
“No one from Thousand Villas will be caught planting Night Vine after that!”
