Huangxiu

Chapter 415 Pursuit
Chu Zhiyuan turned around and walked out of the house, out of the inn, and strolled on the street.

The streets of Wanghai City are far less prosperous than those of Yujing, nor as beautiful as those of Yujing.

But it is also very lively, with a kind of wild prosperity and abundant vitality.

He walked among the crowd, moving through the light and shadow that were either bright or dark.

Thinking in my heart.

The corruption in the Eastern Territory is not just in the army, but also in the government.

The Dajing Dynasty was at its peak, with prosperity and beauty, but it was not able to achieve peace throughout the country.

The army is strong and the people are prosperous, but there are inevitably huge regional differences and serious disparity between the rich and the poor.

This is difficult to avoid in every dynasty, and it can only be eliminated when productivity is developed to a certain level.

In this world, martial arts are highly valued and personal bravery is pursued, so naturally there is no such thing as science.

Fortunately, the land is vast and the population is sparse, the grain output is not low, and the imperial court is powerful and has absolute power to suppress the local areas and can curb the powerful.

Moreover, every person is like a dragon, brave and powerful, and they cannot oppress the common people like ants as they did in the ancient times of his previous life.

Therefore, the contradiction between the imperial court and the people was not acute, and people's hearts were still on the side of the imperial court.

Even if there are corrupt officials, it will not undermine the people's loyalty to the court. They will just hate a certain official.

Some would even hire someone to assassinate these officials and replace them with a new batch.

The corruption in the Eastern Territory is beyond imagination.

From top to bottom, from the government to the military, everything is corrupt.

In this situation, how can we win the support of the people?

He suddenly turned his head and looked to the west.

What I am looking at is the direction of Yujing City.

The emperor asked him to bring the Phoenix Camp here just to quell the rebellion in the Daliusing Camp?

Maybe it was to allow himself to see the situation in the East Region clearly and recognize the current status of Dajing?

Of course, the emperor certainly didn't think of asking me to solve the problems in the eastern region, and I don't have the ability to do so.

After all, he is just a prince.

The situation in the East Territory is like this now. It is not easy to deal with it, let alone the Crown Prince, even the Emperor will not be able to do so easily.

Otherwise, with the emperor's wisdom, he would have solved the problem of the eastern border long ago.

He suddenly stopped and an idea flashed in his mind.

He suddenly had a bold idea.

Is the current state of the Eastern Territory the result of the emperor's deliberate connivance?
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense.

Everything has its yin and yang, good and bad, advantages and disadvantages.

The military discipline in the western and northern territories is strict, but as the saying goes, strictness cannot last long.

There must be a price for the Western and Northern territories to have been able to maintain strictness for so long, and the price is most likely the Eastern Territory.

The Eastern Territory was not formed due to the emperor's negligence, but was intentionally indulged.

Just like a clean and tidy street, there must be sewage ditches.

Is this East Border the sewage channel of Dajing?
How can we keep the streets clean and tidy without sewage drains?

He walked with his hands behind his back, wondering whether his idea was right or not.

I have too little experience in governing a country now, so I can't say 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 led the second rebellion.

Any rebellion is a result, not a cause. It is often a process in which dissatisfaction accumulates little by little and eventually erupts.

Therefore, there must be signs before a rebellion, and even many people can clearly see its inevitability.

He strolled down the street, passed through an alley, and when he came out again, he had changed.

From a sickly scholar, he turned into a middle-aged businessman.

She wore a gorgeous brocade robe, and wore gold, 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 and leaning on the railing, you can see the sea outside the city tilting towards this side, and the blue water is about to press over at any time.

Chu Zhiyuan sat on the second floor, the most prosperous and noisy second floor. He ordered a pot of wine, two plates of dishes and two plates of snacks, and sipped them slowly.

I hear all kinds of news.

He felt that if there was going to be a rebellion, someone would know about it, and many people would know about it.

You only need to listen for one night to hear it. All kinds of sounds enter your ears, and after being captured and filtered, the useless ones are directly thrown away, and only the useful ones are remembered.

After Chu Zhiyuan drank a pot of wine, he ordered another one, but his expression became more and more serious.

"Damn it, I can't stand it anymore, these damned ones!"

"Old Du, don't be anxious."

"Don't worry, don't worry. It's already late. They are about to send troops to suppress it. Why are we still waiting? What is there to wait for?"

"Don't you think this is a good opportunity?"

"What good opportunity?"

"When someone comes over there, he will definitely remove the old man from his position. When the time comes, the old will take over from the new. If we take action, who can stop us?"

"Um……"

"When the time comes, rush into the general's mansion, grab the things and run away. The world is so big, where can't we go?"

"That's right...but my brothers really can't wait any longer, and I may not be able to hold them back."

"We have to suppress it even if we can't!" the voice said viciously, "We've waited for three years, and we're still two months short?!"

"……Fine."

This conversation amid the noisy voices caught his attention.

He immediately followed the sound and found two people in the corner.

They were wearing coarse clothes, which, even in such a cold weather, were still thin, showing off their sturdy figures and toned muscles.

The people around them all stayed away from them, as if they were afraid of them.

Fortunately, the table they were at was the only one of its kind in the corner with not many people around.

That's why they spoke so boldly, making sure no one could hear them.

The noise around is too loud and disruptive.

They never imagined that Chu Zhiyuan had such a powerful ability to capture their conversations amidst the noise.

After they left, Chu Zhiyuan put down his wine glass, threw down a silver ingot, and walked out slowly.

He watched the two people leave the restaurant and go out of the city.

These were two young men, one tall and strong, the other thin and tall.

The two men walked straight out of the city and began to perform Qinggong, heading towards the military camp not far away.

When they were running halfway through a forest, suddenly two small stones flew out and froze them.

Chu Zhiyuan floated out, picked up the two people, and went into the woods.

Moonlight is like water.

Chu Zhiyuan put them down in front of a tree.

He clapped them each and then floated away.

Both of them were shaking like sieves, their eyes flashing with resentment.

But Chu Zhiyuan had 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 slowed down, 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, it's all up to you."

He tapped the acupuncture points of the burly young man 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 steal from the general's mansion? Tell me clearly and I will spare your life. Otherwise..."

He waved his hand gently, and a stone next to him flew up and then turned into powder in his hand.

He clapped his hands lightly to remove the powder, then looked at the burly young man: "Let's get started."

The burly young man glared at him with gritted teeth.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "You don't know what's interesting."

Then she tapped him on the shoulder, causing him to tremble again and sweat profusely.

He looked at the thin young man, tapped his acupuncture points, and said calmly: "Do you want to say it?"

The thin young man shouted: "How dare you..."

Chu Zhiyuan patted his shoulder again, causing him to tremble again.

……

An hour later, the two finally spoke.

Even a man of iron will not be able to withstand the soul-searching technique.

The pain of the soul-searching hand exceeds the limit of human endurance. Unless one has the belief to sacrifice one's life for justice, one cannot endure it for too long.
