The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Zhu Yunming looked indignant. Tang Yin quickly covered his mouth and said with a smile,

"Yes, yes, yes! You are right, old man! Thank you so much for your kindness!"

"Humph! I won't tell you anymore. The old man is still waiting to give the land to his family!"

The old man snorted coldly, then turned around and trotted away.

Zhu Yunming finally broke free from Tang Yin's hand and said angrily,

"Bo Hu, why did you stop me from scolding that man for being disloyal to his king, his father, and his lawlessness?"

Tang Yin rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

"Brother Xizhe, why bother with the common people?"

"Besides, ordinary people just want to survive. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"You, huh! You can't follow a thief!" Zhu Yunming snorted coldly.

Tang Yin smiled and shook his head, not wanting to continue the debate. Looking at the bustling yet orderly Yancheng, he couldn't help but sigh,

"I never thought that Qingfeng Village would be such an eye-opener!"

"They are clearly a group of rebels, yet they are more popular among the people than the government."

Zhu Yunming sighed.

"Alas! The people are ignorant and foolish, and have no desire for integrity!"

"For a few acres of thin land, you actually registered as a civilian with the bandits. Do you still care about your country?"

Tang Yin laughed heartily, overjoyed.

Zhu Yunming asked in confusion,

"Bo Hu, what are you laughing at?"

Tang Yin shook his head, looked at Zhu Yunming and smiled,

"Brother Xizhe, the people are just trying to get enough food and clothing because they are ignorant! If it weren't for...ah! Who would be willing to be a traitor?"

Zhu Yunming's cheeks flushed when he heard this, and then he heard Tang Yin continue to say,

"You and I have been traveling in Jiangnan for so long. Even in a place as prosperous as Jiangnan, there are so many people in the world who live in misery."

"The reason you and I are preparing to go to Jinling to take the exam is not so that we can one day govern a region, make decisions for the people, and realize our ambitions, right?"

As he spoke, Tang Yin looked with emotion at the common people who were gathering towards a city wall.

"In my opinion, the head of Qingfeng Village must be someone who cares about the people."

Although Zhu Yunming was displeased when he heard this, he could not refute it.

Then he said with a hint of resentment,

"You shouldn't resort to such rebellious tactics. Such an act is disrespectful to the king and father. I wonder how much harm it will cause to the people!"

"Since he cares about the people, he could just go to the government office, take the exam, and serve as an official to benefit the people, just like us!"

Tang Yin looked at Zhu Yunming with a hint of surprise.

Zhu Yunming felt uncomfortable being looked at by Tang Yin and asked in confusion,

"Why is Bo Hu looking at me like this?"

Tang Yin shook his head, then asked with a smile,

"Brother Xizhe, have you ever thought about what would happen if the Peak Master of Qingfeng Village failed the exam?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunming suddenly thought of a possibility.

In an instant, his eyes widened to the size of eggs.

Seeing his expression, Tang Yin immediately threw his head back and burst into laughter.

After laughing, he clasped his fists towards Zhu Yunming.

"Brother Xizhe, thank you for your company these days. I am very grateful."

"From now on, you and I will part ways. Didn't someone say before that Qingfeng Village won't stop those who wish to leave? I won't be attending the provincial examination at the end of the year!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunming's expression changed drastically and he looked at Tang Yin.

"Bo Hu, where are you going?"

Tang Yin threw the bag off his shoulder and looked towards the southwest with a deep gaze.

"Qingfeng Village's move is truly unexpected. I'm planning to head to Yangzhou to see for myself!"

"what?!"

Zhu Yunming's expression changed drastically when he heard this?

……

In Jinling City.

In the Imperial Guards Yamen.

As expected, officials from all parties and generals and commanders came again to discuss matters today.

What they discussed was nothing more than the suppression of rebels and bandits in Yangzhou.

Wang Ziteng looked at the room full of officials and commanders and shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, Wang Ziteng looked worried. He paced back and forth and turned to look at the officials, commanders, and the second generation of nobles brought from Shenjing.

"I've already explained the situation. The rebels from Qingfeng Village are now in Yangzhou, vigorously carrying out some land distribution scheme."
