Chapter 1311: Everything Is Ready (1)
A crisp cracking noise pierced everyone’s eardrums .
The whip tore a bone-deep wound in the chest of the old man, who had collapsed on the ground . Their scalps crawled as they saw the flesh curl open .
But he continued to lie there motionlessly, without any reaction .
Mo Yunxian was completely stunned .
What was going on?
“Xian’er, stop that!” Mo You hurried over and grabbed the leather whip that Mo Yunxian was holding .
“Cousin, he…” Mo Yunxian was momentarily flustered .
“Miss Mo, Lord Mo, we will have to trouble you to come back with us to deal with today’s incident . ” The officer in the lead could not bear to go on watching . How could this Miss Mo be so cruel as to whip a person’s body after he died?
“Why should I go with you?” Mo Yunxian’s expression immediately changed . She had not expected the old man to really be dead .
The lead officer was unwilling to continue arguing . He just ordered his men to bring Mo Yunxian and Mo You along . Mo Yunxian wanted to resist, but Mo You told her to act more prudently .
When he saw the group of soldiers take Mo Yunxian and Mo You away, the Eldest Prince, who was sitting in an elegant restaurant nearby, smiled .
“Elder Ye, based on your plan, Ling Yan still has a few other trusted subordinates besides Mo You and Mo Yunxian . We have also planned for them to commit crimes . Do you think our arrangements are alright?” The Eldest Prince raised his eyes slightly and looked at Ye Qingtang, who was standing nearby .
Everything that had happened today was arranged by him, in accordance with Ye Qingtang’s instructions .
Ye Qingtang maintained her slight, casual smile, as she saw the disappearing figures of Mo You and Mo Yunxian, who were being taken away .
“The bait was not bad . ” Ye Qingtang’s gaze fell on the three people, lying dead on the ground . She sighed inwardly but did not allow her expression to change .
She knew very well why Mo Yunxian had reacted like that . After all, in her place, she also would not believe that someone would suddenly give up their life to frame her .
So Mo Yunxian’s thinking was correct . It was just that…
The Eldest Prince’s arrangements had evidently taken everything into account .
The Eldest Prince smiled and said, “Since we want to bring Ling Yan down, our plan must be flawless . My Third Royal Brother is so intelligent . If I found someone to feign dead, he would quickly find a plot hole . And if it’s just an argument or a fight, it will be hard to blow the matter up . The only way is to cause my Third Royal Brother’s loyal subordinates to publicly kill ordinary citizens to incur the wrath of the capital’s citizens . Only then will my Royal Father give weight to this matter . ”
The Eldest Prince watched the three bodies being carried away as he spoke . His expression showed no sign of pity .
“These grandparents and their grandson were border refugees . They’ve been in the capital for half a year . If not for my kindness, they would have died long ago . Since I have need of them today, they naturally tried to do their best for me . ”
The Eldest Prince spoke casually .
Ye Qingtang’s face remained expressionless, but she laughed coldly in her heart .
She believed in the Eldest Prince’s viciousness, but not in his kindness .
The Eldest Prince must have some hold over this trio, and they were forced to give up their lives here .
Ye Qingtang had heard of the viciousness of the Eternal Dynasty’s Eldest Prince in her previous life . Now that she had met him, she realized he was even crueler than he was rumored to be .
“The tasks that Elder Ye handed to us are almost complete . We only need to wait for the men from the border to reach the capital before embarking on our plan,” the Eldest Prince said with a smile . “If we can bring Ling Yan down this time, it will really be thanks to Elder Ye’s advice . ”
