Doomsday Code

Chapter 478 Moss III's Plan

King Moss XIII on the throne glanced at the two of them, and then said:

"Then let's do it in three days. All officials will go to watch. If Huidun succeeds, then you won't have to mention this matter again in the future."

Moss XIII was just trying to shut everyone up, and at the same time he also wanted to see whether the bank flaw created by Huidun would be exposed so easily.

Yes, he also believed what the old minister said. He was the ruler, so how could he not see that banks brought zero benefits to the rulers?

Of course, there are gains and losses. Benefits to the rulers will naturally harm the interests of the ruled.

If he weren't too old now, he wouldn't have time to cultivate talents in this area.

If he were five years younger, he would definitely take the bank from Huidun.

He also wanted to see what kind of drama Huidun was going to put on.

Just as the old minister left, Huidun reported again:

"Father, I was poisoned by a villain before. Fortunately, Brown blocked it for me. Please help me."

His words were earth-shattering. Immediately, all the ministers, whether neutral, hostile, or on his side, began to whisper to each other.

Most of them didn't know that Chen Cheng was poisoned. They just heard that Huidun's people had been searching for a potion master all over the capital in the past few days, but they didn't expect that he had been poisoned.

Moss XIII on the throne slammed the table heavily, and the hall fell silent in an instant.

"What are Xiao Dun and the others doing? As guard knights, they can't even detect poison."

Huidun explained:

"This is not Xiao Dun and the others' fault. It's because the villain is too powerful. He used the Thousand Machines Poison."

This was another earth-shattering piece of news. These ministers all came from extraordinary backgrounds and had extensive collections of books at home. Naturally, they also knew about the strange poison of Thousand Machine Powder.

This poison can only be administered by a master of potions.

Although its toxicity is very unstable, it poses a great threat to rulers because the poison is very hidden.

"From the Criminal Department."

"The minister is here."

The Deputy Minister of the Criminal Department stepped out.

"This case is a major one. Your department needs to step up the investigation."

"Retreat from the court."

After saying this, Moss XIII waved his hand.

Everyone was a little confused, not knowing why Moss XIII gave such an order.

Although this process is correct, it makes people feel that he does not take this matter seriously.

Huidun wanted to say more, but after seeing the warning look from Moss XIII, he left the palace angrily.

After everyone left, Moss XIII held his forehead and sighed, then called out Aoi:

"Hide the person now. When the time comes, I need him to say what I need him to say."

Aoi glanced at the exhausted Moss XIII on the throne, and then replied:

"Although there were some minor problems during the process, it has been done."

Moss XIII became interested when he heard this. How could there be any problem with Aoi's methods?

"Oh, what's the problem?"

"I don't know when an enlightened person came to the royal capital. He was tracking that person, but he was forced back by Aoi-san and the others in the end."

"Enlightened? It seems that the power of the church has become stronger again."

At this time, in the Earl's Mansion, Chen Cheng was sitting in front of the window looking at the garden scenery outside, while in the shadow behind him, Sheli was half-kneeling on the ground.

"I was incompetent and failed to protect Your Majesty."

Chen Cheng turned around and looked at him. At this time, Sheli's eyes were firm, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his expression.

"Do you know who did this?"

"It was the rebels who gave the order, and they are from the church."

Chen Cheng naturally knew who the rebel here was referring to.

He didn't expect that the one who took action would be Moss XIII.

"This shouldn't be right, right? With your temper, if you found that person, wouldn't you just come to see me with his head?"

"My subordinate was incompetent. The knife I swung out was deflected by three points because of the poison he had set, and I only cut off one of his arms. Then the rebels appeared and stopped me, and that person also disappeared."

Having said this, Sheli lowered his head a little more.

Chen Cheng waved his hand and said:

"You don't need to blame yourself for anything. And don't act so rashly in the future. You must get my consent."

As he spoke, Chen Cheng took out a lotus petal from his space bag and handed it to him, saying:

"This is the best healing medicine I have. You don't need to force yourself. Take it and recover."

Sheli took the lotus stem from Chen Cheng and swallowed it. In an instant, some color appeared on his pale face.

"Don't even think about assassinating Moss XIII anymore.

So, go and help me find the hidden Potion Master. I only want you to find his hiding place, and don't worry about anything else."

"Also, you must remember that you are not in the City of Sin now. There is someone in Wisdom Shield City waiting for you to return. I don't want you to be just an emotionless knife."

Chen Cheng sighed as he spoke, and Sheli then disappeared into the shadows.

He only hoped that Sheli could change his character and not treat him like a fanatic.

The door was pushed open and Huidun walked in from outside.

"How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Chen Cheng shook his head and then asked:

"Why did His Majesty summon you?"

Speaking of this, Huidun let out a long sigh.

“Those guys took advantage of Prince Xiao Suo’s incident to make trouble, but fortunately the problem was resolved quickly and they didn’t succeed.

When this plan didn't work, they came up with another one. They claimed that they were considering ordinary people and said that I opened a bank just to take advantage of my status to plunder wealth.

Three days later, they are going to run a run on the Royal Capital Bank to see if the interest rates we offer to lure people to deposit money are a form of robbing Peter to pay Paul. "

Speaking of this, Huidun felt a little tired.

He was very confident in the hall because he couldn't show any fear in front of everyone. But after he came back, he felt a headache when he thought about it.

What banks fear most is a run on the bank, because oftentimes the money deposited by depositors, in addition to being transported to a special vault for safekeeping, a portion of the funds will be used for commercial loans, etc.

However, this money has already been used. If a bank run occurs, it is very likely that the bank will not be able to come up with so much money, or it will not be able to provide the lender with sufficient loan amount at the corresponding time.

Bank runs usually occur during financial crises, and when a bank run occurs, market business activities will also enter a period of contraction.

This is extremely unfavorable to business operations.

Fortunately, the world's finance was just starting out, and the bank run three days later was just a farce, not a large-scale run on all banks.
