Chapter 140: Secret Affairs
The killer Ding Datian has always adhered to his principles and has never changed. This time he revealed the mastermind behind his actions without violating his principles. He was reluctant to reveal the mastermind at first, but later he took the initiative to reveal the name of Sun Guye without anyone even asking. Regarding this matter, some people present believed that the reason why he had such a big change in such a short time was entirely because Yin Ruchen treated Ding Dadi and said that Ding Dadi's disease could be cured. In fact, this was not the real reason for his change of attitude. The real reason why Ding Datian took the initiative to confess Sun Guye was that he knew from the content of the letters read by Meng Lian that Sun Guye had an affair with Hongluo Guo.
The reason why those letters made everyone present furious was that they exposed many of Sun Guye's secrets, and those secrets made them dumbfounded. They learned about the conspiracy between Sun Guye and the people in power in Hongluo from those letters. Sun Guye was a spy who betrayed Jingyin. He had secretly contacted the people in power in Hongluo many times, conveyed important information about Jingyin to the people in power in Hongluo, and let Hongluo know the internal situation of Jingyin very well.
The people present learned from those letters that the prescription for murdering King Jingyin was provided by the Hongluo Kingdom, and the poison used in the poison darts and needles used by Ding Datian was also provided by the Hongluo Kingdom.
The poison used by Ding Datian is called Longmie Gao, and its main raw material is extracted from a plant that is unique to Hongluo. The production process of Longmie Gao is very complicated. The main raw material extracted from the plant must be combined with several other auxiliary materials and processed through multiple processes before it can be made. This poison was secretly made by someone sent by the authorities of Hongluo. Even ordinary citizens of Hongluo did not know that there was such a thing, let alone ordinary citizens of Jingyin. Since no one in Jingyin except Sun Guye and Ding Datian knew about this poison but did not understand it, there was no need to mention the antidote. Therefore, once the people of Jingyin were poisoned by Longmie Gao, they would definitely die. If such a poison was fed into a hidden weapon and shot at King Jingyin, if it was hit, King Jingyin would definitely die.
The murder of King Jingyin was a move in Hongluo's invasion plan, and Sun Guye was a chess piece that Hongluo had set up inside Jingyin. The people in power in Hongluo had long known that Jingyin's Crown Prince Zhaolin had never been very interested in government affairs, and he did not seem to show much ability to do things. In addition, there were other hidden dangers inside Jingyin, and some ministers were fighting for power. It could be said that the country was in danger. Once King Jingyin died, Jingyin would fall into great chaos. The people in power in Hongluo believed that it was the right time to take advantage of the chaos and use special means to push Sun Guye, the chess piece, to the throne of King of Jingyin. Once Sun Guye, the chess piece, came to power, it would be easier for Hongluo to implement a comprehensive invasion plan against Jingyin. Sun Guye was not only greedy for power, but also valued money as his life. Every time he provided important information to Hongluo Kingdom, the people in power in Hongluo Kingdom would give him a large amount of money. After receiving the money, he would be willing to provide more information, so he could receive more money. In this way, he was deeply trapped in the cycle of exchanging important information from Jingyin Kingdom for money.
