Chapter 230 Colonial Ship(1/2)
"It's so unconscionable! It's so unconscionable!!"
"Old Wang, what's going on?"
"Look at today's newspaper. Those beasts who killed a thousand people actually did such a crazy thing!"
In the teahouse in [Linbo City], tables of teagoers began to get restless, because the news in today's newspaper was really shocking.
Huanghuang Damin Dynasty, they really couldn't believe that someone could be so vicious.
More importantly, the incident took place not far outside the city, and many of the victims listed in the newspaper were even their distant relatives!
"Xie Bairong... isn't this Lao Xie's daughter? I heard that she got lost three years ago. I thought she fell into the lake, but I didn't expect that she was kidnapped by those beasts!"
"Guo Man? That Guo Man in Guojia Village? I remember her. She was quite famous back then, and she was as beautiful as a flower. The matchmakers who came to her door to propose marriage almost broke the threshold!"
"But I heard that Guo Man was taken away by a mountain spirit insect!"
"The nearest mountains and forests in Guojia Village are hundreds of miles away! Where did the big insects come from?"
"That's right! The big insect is staring at the little girl who is as beautiful as a flower?"
"No! I have to tell Lao Xie! Ever since his girl disappeared, he has lost all energy!"
"Damn it, I'm going to the government office to ask for an explanation! My distant cousin also disappeared around that military camp!"
"Damn the government office! Didn't you read what it said in the newspaper? Several people went to the government office to complain, but they all got ripped off! Those generals are members of big families, and have the same surname as the official!"
"Damn it! These beasts and officials are protecting each other. Is there any royal law in this world?!"
"Go find Mr. Wu An! Mr. Wu An discovered this matter. He will definitely be able to help us seek justice!"
"Yes, if Her Royal Highness the Princess hadn't sent Lord Wu An down to inspect, I don't know how long this matter would have been covered up!"
………………
Similar discussions spread throughout [Linbo City], and quickly spread to surrounding towns and villages. For a time, the crowd was excited, and countless people surrounded the government office, demanding an official explanation.
At the same time, the officials of [Linbo City] were immediately troubled after having just experienced a gluttonous feast, and before they could wake up from the happy aftertaste.
"That idiot Pang Jue! I told him to take care of his tail! He was actually caught doing something?!"
Shi Liangcai was like an anxious tiger circling back and forth in the room, with all his friends beside him anxious.
"Master! You have to save Xiaojue! I only have one biological brother!"
A woman in luxurious clothes was crying and wiping away tears, which made Shi Liangcai even more irritable.
"Rescue? How to save? Now the military camp is closed, and communication between the inside and outside is cut off. We are blind, so we have to save our heads?!"
Looking around at the anxious cronies, Shi Liangcai felt a hint of regret in his heart.
When the eldest princess gave such a piece of fat, all the major families tried their best to fill it with people. At first, everyone was in awe and didn't dare to act too arrogantly.
But as one person began to boldly reach out, other families felt more uncomfortable seeing him touching money than losing money, so they rushed to reach out to get money, fearing that they would suffer losses.
Anyway, if you don’t fish it out, others will fish it out, so you might as well let me squeeze it all out!
The result is that military discipline becomes more and more corrupt, ultimately leading to today's bitter consequences!
"Sir, how about we contact our family together and ask them to put pressure on Mr. Wu An and reduce the big problem to a small one first!"
"That's right, the public is now very excited. We must calm down those mud-legged people first, otherwise it will trigger a popular uprising. We don't have the army to suppress it. If a lawless [martial arts man] appears..."
Speaking of this, everyone was suddenly stunned.
It seems... Lord Wu An is a lawless warrior!
"Hmph! Still putting pressure on him? Mr. Wu An belongs to the eldest princess, so what can we do to pressure him?!"
Shi Liangcai shook his sleeves fiercely and sneered darkly.
"It is obvious that Mr. Wu An is behind this matter. He is just waiting for us to negotiate terms!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up and they breathed a long sigh of relief.
We are not afraid of negotiating terms, but we are afraid that we will not be able to make any progress, and we insist on making a solid case!
"Master, what are you waiting for? As long as he is willing to let our people go, any other conditions are easy to negotiate!"
"Hmph! Why are you so anxious? He is now inciting public opinion to force us. If he comes here at this time, he will be slaughtered by others!"
Shi Liangcai sneered and whispered inscrutably.
"Since he just imprisoned Pang Jue and the others, it means he still understands the rules and has limits, and he doesn't dare to break up with us."
"In that case, let's have some fun with him! Let's see who loses his composure first!"
………………
"Sir, today another woman is willing to stand up and accuse of crimes!"
"Well, then there will be six people in total. Let's arrange for her to go on stage with those sisters tomorrow."
"yes!"
In the palace-sized palace, Zhao Yinshun was sitting in the study, sipping tea leisurely.
"All the dead are in the newspapers, but the living are protected. Sometimes your heart is as hard as iron, and sometimes you are extra gentle in these little things."
Beside the desk, Oakley Yani also took a sip of a cup of tea. A mysterious force obscured her existence information, so that Tang Hongda, who was reporting on work, did not notice her presence throughout the process.
"The dead have no future, but the living still have a future. They still have to face life and the eyes of the people around them..."
"Not everyone has the courage to open their bloody wounds and show them to the world. The fact that six people came forward is beyond my expectation."
When Tang Hongda retreated, Zhao Yinshun slowly and gracefully added fragrant tea to the cup and said calmly.
"Haha, they would rather commit suicide than face the pain, cowardly and miserable mortal beings!"
After swallowing the sweet tea, Oakley Yani sneered and shook her head.
"Yani, you have been the pride of heaven since you were born. You cannot understand the despair of being overwhelmed by pain. Although escaping is shameful, it is the only way for these mortals to fight against despair."
Seeing Zhao Yinshun shaking his head with emotion, Oakley Yani's mind was filled with questions.
"It sounds like you can understand!"
"The divinity of the innate God has been greater than humanity since the day he was born. You are more inhuman than me. Why do you say that to me?"
Zhao Yinshun: “…………”
What you said makes so much sense, I can't refute it!
"By the way, have you received any response from [Council of Knowledge], [Gate of Truth], and [Cult Mechanicus]?"
Changing the topic bluntly, Zhao Yinshun began to think about the organizational reconstruction work after the great purge.
"Hmph! I didn't even look at who sent the invitation. I opened my mouth. Which of them would dare to neglect me?"
After asking Master Tim to recruit talents, Zhao Yinshun suddenly remembered that there was a giant Buddha next to him!
This senior has personally witnessed the birth to the split of the three major organizations, and it is said that he is quite benevolent to the top leaders of these three major organizations.
Asking her to invite her would definitely be more reliable than Tim's petty quarrel!
Exhaling a breath scented with tea, Oakley Yani chuckled and pursed her lips.
"Besides, they have dreamed of establishing a heritage in Damin for a long time. If you can provide them with a fertile land for official protection, they will naturally dream of it!"
"Although the truth is far away, go and seek it!"
"Even today, they are still hungry for the profound knowledge that Damin has inherited for thousands of years."
"Your civilization has endless attraction for them!"
After hearing her words, Zhao Yinshun vaguely understood why so many extraordinary people from the West and the West traveled hundreds of millions of miles to Damin.
Before the aura of the Celestial Kingdom was completely broken, everything about Damin was perfect in their eyes.
Worshiping foreigners is not the exclusive domain of Damin people. Ever since they saw Damin's "Invincible Fleet", many intellectuals in Europe and the West have automatically made up their minds and beautified everything about Damin to be perfect.
After all, distance creates beauty...it looks astonishing from a distance, but looks like flowers up close...
This is a common problem among people.
Shaking his head, Zhao Yinshun put aside his distracting thoughts and asked seriously.
"Then when will they arrive in Luzhou? How many people will come? What level of ability? Do I need to prepare in advance?"
"The [Mechanicus] is led by a Archbishop, the [Gate of Truth] is led by a great sage, and the [Knowledge Council] attaches great importance to it and has sent a deputy speaker. In total, there may be thousands of people!"
"They will come together on the latest [colonial ship]. You still have one or two years to drive away the pirates and build a deep-water port big enough to accommodate the [colonial ship]."
"Colonial ship?"
Hearing this uncomfortable name, Zhao Yinshun frowned slightly.
Seeing the young man's reaction, Oakley Yani couldn't laugh or cry: "The colonial ship is the crystallization of the highest technology of the [Mechanicum]. You can think of it as a mother body that can produce all the latest industrial machines in the West, a mobile maritime expansion
base!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yinshun's doubts disappeared and a bright smile appeared on his face.
