Chapter 310 For the peace of the mainland——
Arrive at the Martial Spirit Branch Hall of Falling Star City.
Zhou Qing just told Norman that after the turmoil was over, his nieces and nephews who supported him prevailed over other families and nobles in the city and temporarily took charge of the situation.
"From what you did to Dales at the previous lecture, I can see that you and he don't seem to be getting along?" Norman first praised Youhui for making good friends, but then he said bluntly Staring at Zhou Qing, as if to see his true inner thoughts.
However, Zhou Qing's eyes were as bright as stars and piercing: "It's true that we can't deal with him. He has an extremely close connection with the fallen person we are chasing. I think you have confirmed this."
"It would be a strange thing if they really didn't matter."
Norman chuckled, "But, we have no evidence, and even if there is evidence, Wuhun Palace cannot capture him directly. I can only hold him back as long as possible and wait for the top officials of the Star Luo Empire to send someone over - —
In this case, if a dignified city lord has contact with the Fallen, the top officials of the Star Luo Empire will definitely try their best to hide this matter.
Otherwise, the reputation of the Star Luo Empire will be slightly affected...
Therefore, I, Wuhundian, have to pretend not to know anything in the future, so as not to cause trouble.
Civilians——
People speak lightly, and what they say is of no importance. ”
At this point, Norman put away his smile, looked directly into Zhou Qing's eyes, and said solemnly: "Actually, by using Sword Douluo's power and a little intimidation, Dales couldn't do it anymore. If we conceal it and Sword Douluo Mian takes action, the matter may not have to reach this level.”
"Hoo——"
Zhou Qing exhaled and said quietly, "Mr. Norman, at your age, you should know that just the death of one Dales will not change anything."
Norman was stunned and looked at Zhou Qing with a little more surprise. Then he sighed: "You really don't look like a six-year-old child."
"Isn't this obvious? How can an ordinary six-year-old child have the extraordinary physical fitness of the three of us?" Zhou Qing made a little joke, "Also, let's talk about the most direct reason. Dales killed my biological parents. His direct enemy was also an accomplice in the murder of Youhui’s parents.”
"Is this true?!"
In an instant, Norman's eyes were cold, "Did my niece die at the hands of Dales and that degenerate?"
"Yes!"
Youhui clenched her fists and begged, "So, uncle, please help me, okay?"
"Okay, I agree. After all, Youhui is my niece." The sharpness in Norman's eyes did not diminish. "But, I want to know more specific information, such as what Dales said about Luoxing Slope. Fallen, is this true? You guys went out yesterday and investigated the corresponding information, right?”
Norman guessed wrong, but Zhou Qing was indeed able to tell the relevant situation: "I can only say that the Soul Sect-level degenerate we were hunting has died in our hands."
"Dead?"
Norman was shocked, "Why is Darius doing such a big show? What about the fallen people on the Falling Star Slope?"
"Set up a clever name, win over the gentry, pay taxes and make donations. After the success, the gentry's money will be returned in full, and the common people's money will be divided into seventy-three cents."
Zhou Qing once again described Dares' methods, and every sentence was heartbreaking, making Norman's pupils dilate - he had lived for so many years, and thought that the powerful people of the two empires were like that, but now he understands that the so-called The "oppression" of the people turned out not to be the explicit teachings and bullying of the common people by the powerful children, but in this darker way, in which local officials colluded with the family to drain the money from the people into their pockets.
In the past, this kind of thing also existed, but it was on a smaller scale and not so obvious that Norman couldn't notice it. And now——
Everyone in the city needs to pay and donate one thousand gold soul coins... This will take away the wealth accumulated by the people in the city over the generations!
"What about the so-called fallen?" Norman asked tremblingly.
"Of course they are from Dales! The group of people who knew that he was connected with the Fallen... In order to clear up the relationship, they just killed them as the Fallen and killed two birds with one stone..." Zhou Qing also discovered that Wu The master of the Soul Palace knows nothing about how to govern a city, or even the relationship between the city lord and the families and dignitaries in the city.
To put it nicely, it’s noble!
I don’t want to join in with the evil!
To put it harshly, he is unsophisticated!
That is, not familiar with worldly affairs!
It’s no wonder that after the Wuhun Palace was hastily established in the original work, curfews and violent oppression were implemented, and people were panicked. In the end, Bibi Dong died and Qian Renxue was deposed. The Wuhun Empire that could compete with the two empires of Tiandou and Xingluo was established in a very short period of time. Within a short period of time, it fell apart and returned to the rule of the two empires.
No matter how bad the two empires were, at least they still understood the needs of the people at the bottom and implemented herdsman strategies.
Although the herdsmen are not popular or useful, the common people can at least survive.
For the vast majority of people at the bottom with extremely low innate soul power, becoming a soul master is an unattainable dream, and surviving is their real need at the moment.
The top management of Wuhun Palace are all soul masters who focus on cultivation. As for how to govern a city, most people may think that it can be run according to the existing model of Wuhun Palace and use force to subdue others.
That is, as long as you are strong, you can make others obey you.
Just being powerful does not mean that they know how to run, manage, and govern the country. After establishing a country for Wuhun Palace, those powerful soul masters will inevitably have to be promoted to high positions, control real power, and rule over the forces that were originally subordinate to Wuhun Palace. Class replacement...
But this is the worst part!
From the fact that Norman knows nothing about politics, we can see that the masters of the sub-hall, the main palace, and even the temples in the imperial capitals of the two empires may know more about politics, economy, people's livelihood, etc. than Norman. Some, but generally must be accustomed to using force to suppress others.
An organization that values strength will naturally have easier internal management. After all, those who are strong have the right to speak, and there is no need to care about what the weak think.
But once the vast majority of civilians who cannot become soul masters are included in the scope of management, the "truth" that the strong are respected becomes less applicable.
“There is such a way!”
Norman opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, but when he looked at Zhou Qing, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
Because the current six-year-old child can actually see so clearly, he is like a roundworm in Darles' belly, understanding all the intentions of Darles' actions!
monster?
No!
This is definitely a monster!
"Children, do you want to join the Spirit Hall?"
"Master Mathieu Nuo from Notting City has also extended an invitation to us, but we are still free." Zhou Qing declined Norman's invitation with a smile.
"Hey, to be honest, your cultivation talent is excellent, your thinking is also sharp, and you can see through people's hearts... I really don't know what you will be like when you grow up? What kind of changes will you bring to this continent?"
When Norman said this, his eyes were slightly cold, "Perhaps, for the sake of the peace of the mainland, I have to kill you now!"
