1074 Taking Back the News
After the Hai family released the news of the supply of herbs to the public, they received quite a few high praises, making them very happy.
However, when the head of the Hai family made this decision, he felt that something was wrong. As for what was wrong, he could not think of it for a while, so he had been working hard to think about it. Suddenly, he thought of it and was extremely panicked. He shouted anxiously, “Someone, someone, quickly take back the news of the supply of the herbs. Quickly, quickly…”
At this moment, the news of the supply of herbs had already been released to the public. Although it had only been two hours, because it had been deliberately spread, the news spread very quickly. Now, more than half of the people in the Imperial City already knew about this.
Hai Lan had been staying at home recently and because the plague poison was rampant outside, she did not dare to go out even if she wanted to. When she heard her father shouting in panic, she quickly came over to take a look. “Father, what’s wrong?”
“Hai Lan, quickly, quickly inform your Second and Third Uncles to use all means to take back the news of the supply of herbs. Quickly go…” The head of the Hai family was already panicked and at a loss.
“Why should we take back the news?” Hai Lan asked in confusion. She felt that this matter had been done very well. Now, the Hai family’s reputation had increased quite a lot. In just two hours, she had heard quite a lot of good news.
As long as the Hai family had a high reputation, she would be able to come into contact with the four great clans more and marry the person she wanted to marry.
“If we don’t take back the news quickly, the Hai family will be finished. It’s over…”
“How is that possible? Father, have you been stimulated by something? You’re talking nonsense.”
“Sigh… It’s my fault, it’s my fault. I destroyed the Hai family. I destroyed the Hai family!” The head of the Hai family kept blaming himself. He was still blaming himself and crying even when the others had arrived.
“Master, what happened?”
“What made the Master so anxious?”
“How long has it been since the news of the supply of herbs was released? Can we take back the news now?” the head of the Hai family asked with a hint of hope, wishing he could turn back time.
“Master, this news has already been out for more than two hours. I’m afraid it’ll be a little difficult to take it back now. Furthermore, the situation in the Imperial City is relatively complicated now. The situation is very difficult to control, so…”
The news that was released was like water that had been splashed out and could not be taken back at all.
When the head of the Hai family heard this, his face turned ashen. He was in despair, but he knew that he could not give up. If he gave up, it meant that the Hai family was finished.
“Master, what’s wrong?”
“Father, what are you doing? Why are you so sad all of a sudden?”
The Hai family still did not understand what was going on. They were all waiting for the head of the Hai family to explain the situation.
The head of the Hai family tried his best to cheer himself up and quickly make the corresponding countermeasures. “Immediately release the news that the herbs used by the Ninth Lord’s Estate were all obtained by robbing the Golden Sea Pavilion. Quickly, immediately spread this news. I want to enter the palace to see the Empress now. I hope I can still make it in time.”
“Yes, I’ll do it now.” An elder of the Hai family quickly went to deal with this matter. As quickly as possible, he released the news that the herbs used by the Ninth Lord’s Estate had all been robbed from the Golden Sea Pavilion.
After the news was released, it quickly spread.
However, it was useless no matter how fast it was. Before the head of the Hai family could enter the palace, the people from the palace had already killed their way in.
“Master, something bad has happened. The people from the palace barged in and killed everyone they saw. Ah…” The butler ran over to report the news, but before he could finish speaking, he had already been killed.
At this moment, there were archers everywhere outside the Hai family. They kept shooting arrows in and then killed their way in.
The Hai family was caught off guard. By the time they reacted, many people had already died.
The head of the Hai family tried his best to send his son and daughter away. “Leave quickly. The further you go, the better. Leave quickly.”
