Chapter 415 Pursuit
Chu Zhiyuan turned around and left the house, exited the inn, and walked on the street.
The streets of Wanghaicheng are far less prosperous and less beautiful than Yujing.
But it is really lively, with a kind of barbaric prosperity and exuberant vitality.
He walked among the crowd, passing through light and shadow, either bright or dark.
I thought about it.
The corruption in the Eastern Territory is not only caused by the army, but also by the government.
The Great Jing Dynasty was at its peak, the fire was cooking oil, and the flowers were blooming, but peace could not be achieved.
The army is strong and the people are prosperous, but it inevitably suffers from huge regional differences and serious polarization between rich and poor.
This is unavoidable in all dynasties and must be developed to a certain extent before productivity can be eradicated.
In this world where martial arts is highly respected and personal bravery is pursued, naturally there is no such thing as science.
Fortunately, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the food output is not low, and the imperial court is powerful and has absolute suppression over the local area, which can restrain the powerful.
Although everyone is as brave and powerful as a dragon, there is no way he could treat the people like ants and oppress him like he did in the ancient times of his previous life.
So the conflict between the court and the people is not acute, and people's hearts are still towards the court.
Even if there are corrupt officials, it will not damage the people's attachment to the court, but they will just hate a certain official.
Some would even find people to assassinate these officials and replace them with new ones.
The corruption in the East is beyond imagination.
From top to bottom, from the government to the army, everything is filthy.
How can people still win over such a situation?
He suddenly turned his head and looked west.
What he was looking at was the direction of Yujing City.
The emperor asked him to bring Phoenix Camp here just to quell the rebellion in Daliu Camp?
Is it to allow yourself to see clearly the situation in the East and recognize the current situation of Dajing?
Of course, the emperor definitely never thought of letting himself solve the problems in the east, and he did not have the ability.
After all, he is just a prince.
Now that the Eastern Territory is like this, not to mention the prince, even the emperor can't solve it so easily.
Otherwise, with the emperor’s wisdom, the problem of the Eastern Territory would have been solved long ago.
He suddenly stopped and a light flashed in his mind.
He suddenly had a bold idea.
Is the appearance of the Eastern Territory the result of the emperor’s deliberate connivance?
The more he thought about this idea, the more it made sense.
Everything has yang and yin, good and bad, advantages and disadvantages.
The military discipline in the western and northern territories is strict, but the so-called rigidity cannot last long.
For the Western and Northern Territories to be able to maintain strictness for so long, there must be a price, and the price is likely to be the Eastern Territory.
The Eastern Territory was not caused by the emperor's negligence, but by intentional indulgence and deliberate formation.
Just like a clean and tidy street, there must be a sewage ditch.
Is this eastern boundary the sewage canal of Dajing?
Without sewers, how can we keep the streets clean and tidy?
He walked with his hands behind his back, thinking about whether his idea was correct or not.
I have too little experience in running a country now, so I still can’t tell whether this idea is correct or not.
I still have a lot to learn.
No matter what, we must first stop the second rebellion in Jihai Town.
I just don’t know which battalion this second rebellion is from.
Any rebellion is the result, not the cause. It is often the process of dissatisfaction accumulating little by little and finally erupting.
So there must be signs before the rebellion, and many people can even clearly see its inevitability.
He walked down the street and passed an alley. When he came out again, his appearance had changed.
From a sick scholar to a middle-aged businessman.
Gorgeous in brocade robes, gold and jade, and jewels.
He came to Tianshui Pavilion, the largest restaurant in Wanghai City.
Tianshui Pavilion is the tallest restaurant in Wanghai City.
Sitting upstairs, leaning on the railing and looking out, you can see the sea outside the city tilting this way, and the blue water is about to come over at any time.
Chu Zhiyuan sat on the second floor, the busiest and noisiest floor, and ordered a bottle of wine, two plates of food and two plates of snacks, and drank slowly and carefully.
There are all kinds of news in my ears.
He felt that if there was really going to be a rebellion, someone must know about it, and many people knew about it.
You only need to listen for one night to hear it. All kinds of sounds are received in the ears, and after being captured, they are filtered, and the useless ones are directly thrown away, while the useful ones are remembered.
After Chu Zhiyuan drank a pot of wine, he asked for another pot, but his face became more and more serious.
“Damn, I can’t stand it anymore, these damn things!”
“Old Du, don’t worry.”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry, anytime. It’s time to send troops over there to suppress it. We’re still waiting here. What’s there to wait for?”
"Don't you think this is a good opportunity?"
"What good opportunity?"
"When someone comes over there, they will definitely remove the old man from his position, and then a new one will be replaced." Old alternation, if we start, who can stop us?"
"Well..."
"When the time comes, we will rush into the General Military Mansion, grab things and run away, the world is so big, how can we stop it? No place to go? ”
"That's right,... but brothers really can't wait any longer. I may not be able to suppress it."
"I'll suppress it even if I can't!" The voice said viciously: "After waiting for three years, I still can't suppress it." Two months difference? "
"...Okay."
This conversation among the noise caught his attention.
He immediately followed the sound and found the two people in the corner.
They were wearing coarse cloth clothes. Although they were still thin in the bitter cold, they showed off their strong bodies and knuckled muscles.
People around them stayed away from them, as if they were afraid of the two of them.
Fortunately, the table they were at was just a single table, and it was in the corner, with no one around.
That’s why they speak so boldly, sure no one can hear them.
The noise around me is too loud and the interference is too great.
They never expected that Chu Zhiyuan had such a powerful ability to catch their words among thousands of noises.
After they left, Chu Zhiyuan put down his wine glass, threw down a piece of silver, and walked out slowly.
He watched the two people leave the restaurant and head out of the city.
These are two young men, one is tall and strong, the other is thin and slender.
The two of them went straight out of the city, began to use Qinggong, and headed towards the military camp not far away.
While running in a forest halfway, two pebbles suddenly flew out and stopped them.
Chu Zhiyuan floated out, picked up the two of them, and got into the woods.
The moonlight is like water.
Chu Zhiyuan put them away and placed them in front of a tree.
He slapped them each and then walked away.
Their bodies were shaking like a sieve, their eyes flashing with anger.
But Chu Zhiyuan has disappeared without a trace.
A quarter of an hour later, Chu Zhiyuan reappeared and patted the two of them.
The trembling of their bodies suddenly weakened, and the beads of sweat stopped falling.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Whether you want to tell the truth or continue to enjoy this soul-searching hand is up to you."
He patted the burly young man's acupuncture points and said calmly: "Let's start with you. Which battalion are you from? What big thing do you want to do? What do you want to rob from the General Military Mansion? I will spare your lives once I make it clear, otherwise..." < br>
He waved slightly, and a stone flew up next to him, and then turned into powder in his hand.
He patted his hands lightly, wiped off the powder, and looked at the burly young man: "Let's get started."
The burly young man gritted his teeth and glared at him.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "I don't understand."
Then he tapped his shoulder lightly, causing him to tremble again and sweat like raindrops.
Looking at the skinny young man, he opened his acupuncture points and said lightly: "Do you want to say something?"
The skinny young man shouted hurriedly: "How dare you..."
Chu Zhiyuan patted his shoulder again, causing him to tremble again.
……
An hour later, the two finally spoke.
Even an iron-clad man cannot stand up to the soul-searching hand.
The pain of the soul searcher exceeds the limit of human endurance. Unless you have the belief to sacrifice your life for righteousness, you cannot bear it for too long.
