At this end of the interrogation, Shao Lin asked Meng An and his family to be strictly guarded, while he took the confession and began to assign tasks to the demon warriors under his command.

Since the names of the people mentioned by Meng An are all in different counties, it is also very troublesome to investigate, and it is necessary to act separately.

Shao Lin sent out a large number of demonic underworld warriors, and either overt or secretly visited the people mentioned by Meng An, of course, if they want to get a result, it can't be done in a short period of time, and Lin Haotian and Song Hao don't have time to spend it in Chengdu.

On the third day after the capture of the Assassins, Lin Haotian and Song Hao left Chengdu, Lin Haotian went north and returned to the Jindu Wancheng, and Song Hao went west to the east of the new Chidu River.

Lin Haotian and Song Hao went back to their respective countries, but the assassination in Chengdu did not end here, but intensified.

Through the careful investigation of the demon warriors, it can be confirmed that Meng An's testimony is true, the names he mentioned are all real people, and they are all famous local wealthy people.

Some of them knew each other from the beginning, and some of them were introduced to each other by acquaintances, and they were like-minded, and they all had the heart to recover the Red Kingdom, and they came together naturally.

In the early days of the Jin State's occupation of the Red Kingdom, they had money to fund the local resistance forces, but unfortunately their small arms could not twist their thighs, as long as the regular army of the Jin State arrived, the resistance forces were wiped out in an instant.

Seeing how vulnerable the resistance was, several of them were also discouraged, and just when they were desperate, someone suddenly approached them.

This person claimed to be from the Yan Kingdom, and he was a secret envoy sent by the Yan Kingdom.

He said that Shi Huai also had a young son named Shi Yuan. did not fall into the hands of the Jin people, and now he has fled to the Yan country, as long as he can find a way to kill Lin Haotian, the general of Lin. Then the Jin Kingdom will inevitably be in chaos and will have no time to take care of the Red Kingdom, and at that time, it will be a good opportunity for the Red Kingdom to recover.

Even if the Jin people killed all the hostages of the Red Royal Family, there was still the blood of Shi Yuan's royal family, and they were not afraid that there would be no one in the Red Kingdom to inherit the throne.

Although Meng An and the others are all rich people with a lot of money, they are not ministers in the court after all. It is not clear whether Shi Huai really has such a son as Shi Yuan. However, where did that person come up with the evidence, it was the seal of the Red King Family, and the seal was clearly engraved with the word Shi Yuan.

The royal seal is different in every country. Moreover, the craftsmanship of the production has its own characteristics, which is extremely difficult to imitate.

The secret history of the Yan Kingdom took out the seal of the Red King Clan, which can basically prove Shi Yuan's identity, and it is precisely when he sees this seal. Meng An and the others were convinced of his words.

Wait for the secret envoy of the Yan Kingdom to leave. Meng An and the others decided to hire assassins to assassinate Lin Haotian.

At that time, Lin Haotian was still in Jiankang, but Meng An felt that he would have to return to the Jin country sooner or later, as long as he returned to the Jin country, he would inevitably have to pass through Chengdu, the county capital of Zeping County, and it happened that at this time, the county capital of Chengdu issued an announcement. Renovating the practice hall, Meng An thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Hired Assassins can be disguised as craftsmen and blend around the museum, waiting for an opportunity.

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, not to mention that what they are fighting is still the righteous and awe-inspiring banner of 'expelling the barbarians and recovering the great red', and then there is an endless stream of assassins who heard the news, most of them are rangers of the Red Country, after some careful screening, they finally decided to assassinate with the demon warriors.

What happened next was the assassination of Lin Haotian and Song Hao in the hotel, and this is the ins and outs of the whole thing.

The demon warrior has carefully checked the genealogy of the Shi family, and there is no record that Shi Huai has such a son as Shi Yuan, the genealogy is the most strictly prohibited, if there is indeed someone, even if it is an illegitimate son who cannot see the light, there will definitely be a record, but listening to Meng An's explanation, the secret envoy of the Yan State and the royal seal of Shi Yuan, this matter is really incredible, whether it is indeed a person, or the Yan State is secretly making trouble, it is unknown.

Regardless of whether Shi Yuan is true or not, after all, now far away in the Yan Country, the Demon Martial Artists have no way to verify, and it is impossible to go to the Yan Country to arrest Shi Yuan back, they can't do anything about this Shi Yuan, but the comrades Meng An explained can't escape.

Meng An's co-conspirators are all rich people on the rich side, and their families are big, and there are thousands of people in the whole family together.

The demon underworld warriors were arrested by Shao Lin's order, and under severe torture, it was confirmed that Meng An's confession was true, and they did participate in the assassination plan against Lin Haotian, and then the demon underworld warriors executed these families and all their nine clans on the charge of murdering the loyal ministers of the Jin State.

It stands to reason that this is the end of the matter, but it is far from over.

Shao Lin deliberately wanted to use this incident to suppress the resistance of the Red people to the Jin State, and wanted to expand the incident, so he sent a message to the county governments of various counties: Although the mastermind of the assassination of the Lord is dead, it is not still the existence of the same party, it is not yet known, it is related to the safety of the Lord, and it must be strictly investigated.

His message spread to the county capitals of the counties, and it frightened the county leaders a lot.

There was an assassination of an adult in Zeping County, and the demon warrior killed the county head Wang Song on the spot, and if this kind of thing happened in his own land, then his head would also have to move.

After receiving Shao Lin's message, how dare the county leaders slack off, they all used all their tricks to strictly investigate the accomplices of those masterminds, and the objects of their investigation were of course people who had close contacts with those people on weekdays and had frequent contacts.

But you must know that those people are all wealthy businessmen, and there are too many people involved in the exchanges and private contacts in the shopping malls, and the county heads of each county strictly follow Shao Lin's intentions, and would rather kill by mistake than misplace.

For these people, all counties have adopted the most direct, simple, and least troublesome means - kill!

Shao Lin's message, developed to the end, evolved into a bloody killing, this period can be regarded as the darkest period in the history of the Red Kingdom, people are panicked, everyone is in danger, the county leaders everywhere are like a competition, more than who killed the traitorous party, one by one for fear of falling behind, which makes people criticize.

Under Shao Lin's instructions, what was originally a simple assassination case turned into a massacre that affected the entire Chidi in a very short period of time. During this period, a large number of Chi people were innocently killed. There are many more who have been wrongfully imprisoned and tortured.

So far, the counties and cities of Chidi have been in broad daylight. There are few pedestrians on the streets, the people are too scared to go out, the shops and vendors are too scared to open, and the whole Chidi has shown a depression, which is in stark contrast to the bustle and prosperity of the past.

Shao Lin started the matter, but he didn't have the ability to let the matter end, and the county governments around the country were no longer the demonic warriors who wanted to please now. It's Lin Haotian, in the minds of the county heads, there is no doubt who killed the 'traitors' the most. It represents who is most loyal to the adults.

The situation intensified, and in the end, it had developed into an uncontrollable situation, and the people of Chidi were full of complaints. Far from abating, resistance to the Kim state has not weakened. On the contrary, it is more intense, but I don't dare to say it easily.

It wasn't until the situation deteriorated beyond control that it reached Peng Qian, who was furious when he heard about it, and wrote a letter to Lin Haotian and Shao Lin respectively.

The letter to Shao Lin is not much, but it is full of rebuke. almost didn't directly open his mouth to scold and reprimand, and gave Lin Haotian a letter. It is much more straightforward, and he took a copy of Shao Lin's book, pointing out that there is something wrong with the demon underworld warriors, and they have also crossed the line, and the governance of the place is his duty, and now the demon underworld warriors have crossed the line and interfered, making a mess of the counties and counties in Chidi, with countless deaths and injuries, and the people are not happy, which is really an unforgivable crime.

Peng Qian's personality has always been sleek and exquisite, and he can write letters with such sharp words, which shows that he is really angry.

After receiving Peng Qian's letter, Shao Lin wrote a reply as soon as possible, his words were very polite, admitting that he was indeed at fault, and he only wanted to suppress the resistance of the red people at that time, but he didn't expect that things would backfire and become the current step.

Then, Lin Haotian also wrote a reply, but the reply did not mean to blame the demon warrior, but persuaded Peng Qian that the original intention of the demon warrior was good, but the means of doing things were wrong, so Peng Qian was more considerate. At the end of the letter, Lin Haotian ordered Peng Qian to immediately quell the chaotic situation in Chidi, and let Peng Qian decide what kind of means should be used.

Now, Lin Haotian has returned to Wancheng, and Peng Qian is still in Jiankang, so he can deal with this matter nearby.

The method used by Peng Qian was to change blood and remove the heads of seven counties in succession, so as to appease the hatred and anger of the people in Chidi, and in addition, he ordered that the investigation of the traitors should be stopped here, and that no further branches should be made, and if there were any violators, they would be punished according to wartime disobedience.

Failure to comply with the wartime order was a capital crime, and Peng Qian issued a death order, warning officials everywhere that if they dared to kill innocent people indiscriminately in the name of investigating the traitorous party, they would be punished.

With the promulgation of Peng Qian's decree, the out-of-control situation in various places began to gradually stabilize, and the people of Chidi finally got a chance to breathe and no longer have to live in fear all day long.

However, since the development of the incident, more than 100,000 people have been implicated and persecuted and killed or seriously injured.

After some careful consideration, Peng Qian could only find a batch of scapegoats.

Although the culprit is the demon underworld, Peng Qian has no right to punish the head of the demonic underworld, so he can only take the local administrative officials.

The first to bear the brunt is the county head of each county, followed by the county head, the city lord, the level of strict investigation, questioning, under Peng Qian's high pressure, many county heads, county heads and city lords were either raided or committed suicide.

It was not until this time that the situation in Chidi was completely stabilized, and the people of Chidi did not necessarily have much less hatred for the Jin State, but they were full of praise for Peng Qian, believing that he was the only good official in the Jin court who was willing to think about the Red people.

The uproar about the investigation of the traitor finally came to an end, and Chidi returned to its former peace, but the series of tragedies that happened during this time made all the Chi people remember it in their hearts and couldn't let go of it for a long time.

Let's say that Lin Haotian, who returned to Wancheng, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, in the infinite scenery, his prestige in the Jin Kingdom has long been undoubted, and this time he successfully annexed the Red Kingdom, and his prestige has reached its peak.

Lin Haotian's return to the capital was welcomed by the people of the capital, and the entire Wancheng was boiling, watching countless people go crazy, cheering, and shouting for themselves, this moment was the time when Lin Haotian enjoyed it the most.

When he returned to Wancheng, the first thing he did was to enter the palace to meet Zhao Yu, and at the same time let the king give an order. Ban the New Red Kingdom, remove Song Hao from the throne, and incorporate the New Red Kingdom into the Jin Kingdom.

Now the Kingdom of Jin has annexed the Kingdom of Chi. The new Red Kingdom has also lost the meaning of its existence, and Lin Haotian didn't even bother to put on a pretending posture anymore, and directly took the five counties of Chibei as his own.

Zhao Yu is now afraid that Lin Haotian is like a tiger and leopard, how dare he say half a word in front of him, Lin Haotian's advice was immediately approved by Zhao Yu, and the new Red Kingdom, which had only been established for more than a year, was naturally incorporated into the Jin Kingdom after the Red Kingdom was destroyed.

As for the new Red King Song Hao, who obeyed Lin Haotian's words, Lin Haotian was still very tolerant. He was named the Marquis of Leping, lived in Wancheng, and his daily expenses were provided by the Jin Imperial Court.

So far. After a series of battles, the Jin State finally completed the great cause of dominating the north.

The current Jin country, in addition to the gold land, also sits on the wood land, the red land, and the north is all the territory of the Jin country. There are more than 50 counties in the country. At this time, in terms of national strength and military strength, Jin was already a veritable power.

The strength of the Jin State is staggering, and at the same time, the Yan State is also in full swing to expand, after the Red Country was destroyed, all the land that was originally occupied by the Red Country was taken over by the Yan State, at this time. It has gained control over the entire kingdom.

The Jin country is in the north, dominating the north. The Yan country is in the south, dominating the south, and between the two countries, it is the Xiangjiang River that is interspersed.

Both countries had a premonition that there would be a war between Kim and Yan, and at this time, the rift between the two countries was indeed created, and it was impossible to return to the former alliance.

Jin country, Wancheng.

During this period of time, Lin Haotian has been in full swing to complete his idea and move the capital.

Because he had talked about this matter with Chu Lianyu and Peng Qian in advance, he was poured a basin of cold water on his head, Lin Haotian was smart this time, and did not propose the matter of moving the capital in public in the court, but discussed with the ministers one by one in private to see if the ministers were really as Chu Lianyu and Peng Qian said, and resolutely opposed the move of the capital.

The first thing he looked for was Xiao Xuan, the imperial historian, Lin Haotian didn't necessarily like Xiao Xuan much, but he knew his personality very well, Xiao Xuan was upright by nature, he didn't know how to be flexible, he would say whatever he wanted, and he wouldn't shy away from it just because the other party was the dignified coach of the Jin Kingdom.

Of course, for a person like Xiao Xuan, it is also very suitable to be the most likely to offend people.

Lin Haotian didn't ask directly, but asked Xiao Xuan around the corner, someone proposed to move the capital to him, and he couldn't make up his mind, so he brought him in and asked him what he meant.

After hearing this, Xiao Xuan's face immediately sank, and he asked rhetorically, "I don't know who proposed to the adults to move the capital?"

Lin Haotian smiled dryly, waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter who brought it up, I just want to hear your ...... Lord Xiao."

Before Lin Haotian could finish speaking, Xiao Xuan had already said bluntly: "No matter who proposed to the adult to move the capital, this person has sinister intentions and bad intentions, and the adult should immediately behead this thief!"

Lin Haotian almost squirted out the tea he had just drunk in his mouth, how could he become a thief with sinister intentions and bad intentions?

He put down the teacup with an embarrassed expression, and asked with a smile: "Lord Xiao, tell me, what's wrong with moving the capital?"

"This is to shake the foundation of my big gold!" Xiao Xuan didn't look at Lin Haotian's face, and didn't care what he thought in his heart, he just cared about expressing his opinion.

He said categorically: " Wancheng is the origin of my Dajin, but also the lifeblood of my Dajin, there is Wancheng, my Dajin can exist forever in the world, there is Wancheng, no matter how much suffering I Dajin can stand and not fall, for thousands of years, Wancheng has not only been the capital of my Dajin, but also the symbol of my Dajin, in order to defend Wancheng, I don't know how many Jin ancestors fought bloodily, buried in the city, it can be said that Wancheng is made of my Jin people's flesh and blood, it has already become a symbol of cohesion of my Jin people, who proposed to move the capital to adults, he is to shake the foundation of my Dajin, want to die of my Dajin！”

After listening to Xiao Xuan's generous statement, Lin Haotian was a little dumbfounded, and put back the teacup he had just picked up, sighing secretly in his heart. I still underestimate the superstitious psychology of people in this era, in the hearts of most people, they all believe in the national lineage, and Wancheng is undoubtedly the national line of the Jin country, so to move the capital is like touching the lifeblood of some people, and these people are the most loyal and loyal ministers of the Jin country.

Lin Haotian pondered for a while before he let out a long breath and said to Xiao Xuan with a smile: "I understand what Lord Xiao means, I will also think about it carefully, Lord Xiao, please go back first!"

Xiao Xuan didn't want to leave now, and Zhengse said: "My lord, the person who bewitched the adults to move the capital is really a thief who brings disaster to the country and the people with a poisonous scorpion......

The more he spoke, the more ugly Lin Haotian's face became, and Shao Lin on the side couldn't look at it, why is Xiao Xuan so straight, can't he even look at words and expressions? Don't you see that the adult's face is already blue? For fear that Xiao Xuan will continue to be wordy Lin Haotian can strangle him to death, Shao Lin walked forward kindly, and said with a smile: "Lord Xiao, the adult is a little tired, the adult will definitely deal with this matter properly, Lord Xiao don't have to worry, go back quickly!"

Xiao Xuan still wanted to speak, but Shao Lin had already pulled him out with persuasion.

Xiao Xuangang was pulled away by Shao Lin, and Lin Haotian, who was holding his breath, slapped the table case heavily, and said angrily: "Ignorant! Extremely ignorant! What is the lifeblood of Dajin, the lifeblood of the Jin Kingdom will only be in the hands of Jinren, not tied to the body of a bullshit capital! Oops, I'm angry......"

Lin Haotian picked up the teacup, raised his head, drank the tea in the teacup, and after a while, he turned back to Shao Lin and said, "Shao Lin, find Chen Xin!" (to be continued......)
