The Riddler Get Out of Terra

The night scene in Wanggou Wucheng remains the same, but seems to be slightly different.

The night slowly swallowed up the outline of the city, and the stars and moon shadows once again fell on the brilliant rainbow light. Gouwu City had undergone thousands of dazzling changes due to the ravages of natural disasters, but some things seemed to be as deep-rooted as ever.

The empty emotions gradually calmed down, and what they saw and heard in the tunnel gradually came to mind. The rotting mass of flesh and blood was so shocking that even though a long time had passed, the people of Libo still remembered it fresh.

——At that time, the most cruel aspect of human nature was reflected, which was greed, darkness, and the natural plundering that squeezed out the last flesh and blood of the desperate people.

When the calm mood suppresses the joy of revenge, the creed and perseverance in the heart of the Liboli people naturally remind him of the indelible suffering in the world.

Just when Wu You was thoughtful but didn't know how to solve it, Hao Zhao, who had been staring at the dark night, as if he could see the distant days full of cold stars and the moonlight like water from the deep curtain that was now robbed of stars by the light, suddenly asked asked him this question.

Li Boli was speechless for a moment, and the ferocious faces of his enemies flashed through his mind. He remembered them carefully and remained silent feeling the pleasure of revenge.

The duration of silence was almost the same as the time when Hao Zhao asked the question. Li Boli ran through the memory of his enemy three times in his mind before calculating who would die, and gave the orange cat an answer lightly:

"At least [-]% of it. Those people and their scoundrels will pay the price."

"Humph, I think it's no more than [-]%."

Hao Zhao glanced at Li Boli meaningfully and said that he did not have any hope for his revenge.

"No way," Wu You frowned: "My benefactor, although it is suspected of taking advantage of the current situation, I am sure that the people who exposed the case of Wu Wu's counterfeit banknotes were murderous at every step. Now that the trap has been formed, the murderous intent has not been aroused. Hong Shusheng's The layout is now complete, how can we let go of the remaining [-]%?"

"Oh, because you don't understand those people who are above the temple."

The orange cat said lazily, tapping the fingers on the right armrest against the wooden armrest, and a pot of boiling hot water flew smoothly in time, pouring the boiling water into the teacups where the tea leaves flew into the air in front of the two of them, and then Everyone returned to their respective places, leaving only two cups of steaming tea in front of them.

The man's control over the power of the magnetic field is evident.

"They won't kill them all."

Taking a careful sip of the scalding tea, seemingly not caring whether the near-boiling temperature would burn a layer of oral epithelium on the roof of the mouth, the orange cat exhaled a mouthful of white steam with heat in the dark night, and calmly looked at Wu You who clenched his fists:

"What do you think the current policies of the Yan Kingdom are doing? Ambitious preparations to start a war with the Ursus? Join the anti-magic alliance to kill Kazdaile for meat? Attack some unknown threats in the north?"

"neither."

He raised an index finger and shook it in front of Wu You:

"The Emperor Yan, many famous ministers, and many aristocratic families, all they want now is stability."

Hao Zhao looked out the window at Gouwu, which was finally completely shrouded in night. As the night grew darker, more and more brilliant neon lights lit up in front of many buildings. Fire trees, silver flowers, stars in the sky captured the moon, and the streets seemed like daylight. To end the dark night, which has been closely associated with fear and danger since ancient times.

But the bright lights cannot reverse the darkness of the night, and artificial light sources can never replace natural celestial bodies. Everyone praises the politics of the Yan Kingdom today, but if compared with the period when the real dragon was still around, which one would the Yan people choose... It can be known.

After all, at that time, Zhenlong did not have neighbors who "didn't dare to say anything" like they do now.

"Great Yan is no longer as tough as before..."

The orange cat sighed and warned Wu You not to put his hope in one place:

"Now Dayan is very satisfied with everything. Even if some things have never been perfect, even if some ugliness is still prevalent in the world, he has finally stabilized and begun to re-establish the agreed-upon division system."

"In this case, the compromising side begins to emerge. Officials protect each other, you cover me up, don't say anything that is not united or incorrect - what happened in Gouwucheng has hurt the harmony within Dayan. Let's do something. , introduce some scapegoats to shoulder the big problem, and continue to live in peace, isn’t it good?”

"Is it fairness and justice, which makes people in the world panic? Or is it peace in the world, where everything is as usual, and it's nothing. How much do you think your hatred can be avenged?"

The orange cat closed its eyes silently and whispered to nothing in a dreamy voice.

"..."

Li Boli didn't say anything. He seemed to have suddenly lost all his strength. He slammed himself into the soft sofa chair and stared at the night sky with a pair of absent-minded eyes. His expression was dull and he didn't know what he was thinking. .

"But maybe what I said was bullshit?"

Hao Zhao laughed, continued to lie back on the comfortable soft chair, and softly comforted the silent Wu You:

"Perhaps this world is full of justice and justice. Jingzhe's investigation shocked everyone in Dayan. The officialdom was shaken, and everyone was frightened. Officials who were born in Gouwu and were related to the current Lord of Gouwu turned against each other one after another. For the sake of this world Justice speaks for itself...maybe?"

"..."

Wu You was completely speechless. The vitality of the Liboli people seemed to have been burned to ashes by the increasingly fierce wind and fire in Gouwu City. He raised his head and stared at the stars.

It is empty, but it is like looking down at the soil, the miserable sporadic places cannot see the light, his revenge and pleasure are like small fish washing up on the beach with the tide——

Once the ebb tide is approaching, the short-term joy turns into painful suffering, and every day in the world becomes full of scars.

"I want to go to the Taiping Cult again tomorrow."

After a long time, Wu Wu's hoarse voice sounded hard in the silent room.

"Ever since I entered Gouwucheng, everything about the Taiping Religion has little to do with me. You can go if you want, and don't feel sorry for yourself."

The orange cat was lying on the chair and talking softly.

The author is pregnant, please take leave

When I woke up this morning, my hands and feet were cold, my body was hot, I felt the temperature was a bit high when I touched my head, my limbs were sore, my joints ached, and my head felt like it was covered with a layer of hot water bottle, which heated it up. I felt dizzy and couldn't think of anything.

I took my temperature and it was over 39, almost [-]. No, I can’t write anymore. I need to take some rest first. My throat hurts so much that I can’t drink water. I still have a cough, which is uncomfortable.

If anyone is affected, remember to take the medicine separately and try to avoid taking them together, otherwise it can easily cause liver problems.

Take antipyretics and cold medicines separately, about seven to eight hours between each dose. Everyone should pay attention to their health.

Also...if possible, can you post some words in a brief comment on this paragraph?Ayan wants to see how many people have been supporting this book...

Chapter 183: Strangers After All ([-])

The residents of Gouwucheng have been very angry recently.

Not only the people in the slums, but also the aristocratic families that have gradually grown up in Gouwucheng over the past few decades. People in this city, large and small, are now very angry.

Food prices were raised in the slums in a targeted manner. The shady sellers took off the original price tags amidst countless curses from inside and outside, and hurriedly marked a small bag of rice with fantastic numbers:

A gold leaf.

If someone saw such outrageous numbers outside the slums, they would probably scream and faint to the ground. When they wake up, they would have to look at the unfamiliar ceiling and doubt their life with fear.

Is that a gold leaf? !Ordinary Gouwu people work hard for a month to earn almost one-third of this leaf, but in the end they only have enough to buy a bag of rice?

What kind of joke is this?I feel so tired every day that I can't even afford a bag of rice after accumulating net profits for a month?

If this is really the case, then there is no need to stay in Gouwucheng. We can just run back to the wild to avoid natural disasters and farm at the same time!

After all, a small bag is a piece of gold leaf. I can get several bags of rice in a year when I go back to farm. I smuggle it to Gouwu and sell it secretly. I only get one gold leaf from you after three bags. Do you think that’s okay?

It’s just that everything has an internal connection after all. A seemingly absurd phenomenon may not be regarded as a reasonable operation if combined with the local context. The Gouwucheng slum dares to brave the world’s disapproval of the extreme increase in food prices. Naturally, it is because of the loss of property. The Wu family was not willing to let the common people run away after receiving their things, and wanted to snatch their own things back from them.

They even boast about themselves complacently:

You see, even though I’m getting back my own things, I’m still willing to give Mudlegs a bag of rice!

But to the people in the slums of Gouwucheng, these gold leaves were given to them by the thief saint, and they were the product of chivalrous thieves who "robbed the rich and gave to the poor". How could you, the Gouwu family, have the nerve to rob our money?

Originally, such complaints would just quickly settle like dust in the wind and disappear into the city's never-ending rumors. However, just like there must be precursors before natural disasters, and there must be enlightenment when disasters come, When the people in the slums were about to be eaten alive on chopping boards, someone stood up and organized them together.

——Taiping Religion.

This is an ordinary religion that focuses on the exchange of medical technology and free treatment. In the religion, there are either down-and-out doctors who have no background and are squeezed out by their peers, or half-way monks who are eager to study but can’t find a way out. Aspirations, hard work and longing met with desire - a grassroots reputation propaganda organization disguised as a church quickly took root in Dayan.

——The guards in Gouwucheng are not blind. The Taiping Sect is now very popular among the slums and ordinary civilians. If they don't pay attention to anyone, it's impossible not to pay attention to them!

Originally, the Taiping Sect's missionary mission was not important, but now that the two sides are facing each other and a spark can trigger a direct conflict, their missionary mission has taken on a different meaning:

Regardless of whether the Taiping Sect is willing or not (after all, according to the investigation by the Gouwucheng Police Department, the biggest dream of the down-and-out "doctors" is to quickly become famous so that they can return to the medical circle and be proud), the poor people of Gouwucheng still use them as a platform to unite firmly. together.

And when the real assembly point appears, the original mess is no longer as stupid as before:

Those who come from the slums, those who are relatively close to the slums, and the poor people in the slums are related to each other and help each other...

More and more Gouwu people gathered here, coldly watching the increasingly arrogant and expanding hostile forces.

The two large and powerful groups were at odds with each other, and the intense smell of gunpowder naturally spread along Gouwucheng's information dissemination channels.

So in this city that has been rebuilt many times due to natural disasters, what information channel is the safest, most timeless, and the most popular?

Naturally, there are large and small taverns and teahouses all over the city.

In these crowded places, more and more drinkers and tea drinkers began to mention the tense situation in Gouwucheng.

Some people who are watching the excitement and don't take it too seriously say that the two groups are almost unable to hold back, and they are about to stab each other and divide them up!

But...everything came to an end today.

At this time, the seats in the Gouwucheng Teahouse were empty. The fine wine and tea that had attracted countless people to watch and sip in the past were ignored. Even the crackling sound of the shopkeeper fiddling with the abacus disappeared from the restaurant and teahouse.

But this is not because of any natural or man-made disaster, nor is it the arrival of the Yanguo holidays, but a shocking event happened among people, so that tens of thousands of people turned out, just to take a look at the story, so that they can speak about what they saw today many years later. Strange anecdotes:

The houses of the five major families in Gouwucheng were surrounded by officers and soldiers!

what happened?

People whispered, one said that a certain family did something they shouldn't have done, which made Lord Gou Wu Lei Lei furious, another said that they suffered an unreasonable disaster, but actually took the blame for a certain big shot, and some said that they were too many. Those who do injustice will be killed, and they must use punishment to repay the land of fish and meat in the past.

But when the officers and soldiers covered their mouths and noses and carried out the fermented corpses that were about to collapse into mud, all the criticism turned into dizzy eyes and disbelief.

They were corpses that were so unrecognizable that they could no longer be seen as human. The same kind of flesh and blood were placed in giant trucks that were specially driven to the door of each house like unwanted carrion in a pork shop. The marching officers and soldiers had cold sweat all over their foreheads. The insane and inhumane scenes in the tunnels connecting each house were so shocked that they lost strength.

From Gouwu City to the capital thousands of miles away, no one dared to believe that there would be such a large-scale and large-scale evil sleeping under people's feet. When they were eating, sleeping, working and resting, so many of their kind had died underground. The eyes began to rot into mud.

"vomit--!!!"

Like the first drop of water before a heavy downpour, or like the violent change in air pressure before a hurricane hits, starting from the first person who can't bear to vomit, the painful vomiting sounds come one after another without ending.

The sour smell spread around the Gouwu family, and the people in Gouwucheng looked at the last piece of desolate evidence in the world with pale faces, their limbs trembling with fear from the hidden meaning:

Such things happened around them, in the darkness that they couldn't see. Human life became a nourishment that would not be mentioned. No one noticed it before it was exposed.

The whispers stopped, and at the same time, behind-the-scenes discussions, inquiries, and information exchanges began on a large scale.

Everyone in Gouwucheng wants to know what happened.

At the outermost layer of the crowd, Wu You, who was wearing a cloak, watched quietly as the officers and soldiers surrounded the spacious mansion of the noble family without saying a word.

Chapter 184: Strangers After All ([-])

"Have the punishment regulations been issued?"

Hao Zhao poured a full cup of tea into the cup, picked it up without leaking, opened his mouth to drink, his fingers remained steady throughout the process, and the tea that was about to overflow from the mouth of the cup did not move at all.

Zuo Letai and Wu You silently followed the person who brought them and sat on opposite sides, keeping silent the whole time.

"Down."

Jingzhe opened his mouth, wanting to say the follow-up, but he couldn't continue when he reached his lips, so he had to pick up the tea and wave it at Hao Zhao covertly, and took a sip.

She really couldn't explain how the upper echelons of the Yan Kingdom dealt with it. The thunder was loud and the rain was small, but they were picked up high and dropped gently. Hundreds of refugees in Wucheng were killed in three figures, and the result was just a light word. "The first culprit must be punished, but do not expand it. Strict laws must be strictly guarded against hurting the people's sentiments."

To hurt people's hearts?

Where did it hurt the people?Which people’s heart is being hurt?

"Just kill the first culprit, don't want to expand the scope of the attack and cause turmoil in Yan country."

Hao Zhao's voice suddenly rang in Jingzhe's ears. The different sentence structure but the same content made Qilin startled. He looked at Hao Zhao in astonishment, unable to understand why he could say such instructions that were exactly the same as the instructions.

"I'm guessing you got something like that, right?"

The orange cat asked with his eyes blank, his face intertwined with the sure confidence and the expectation of failure. However, Jingzhe looked away and could not give him any unexpected results. Qilin hoarsely said something to Zuo Le next to him. Both Taihe and Taihe lowered their heads and did not dare to read the words of Wu Yu who tried his best to lead them and reveal the truth along the way:

"Yes, although many soldiers were sent to arrest us, the meaning we received was the same, and..."

She hesitated, but in the end she could not control her inner anger, and told the two people who were assisting the secret agents in handling the case the true meaning behind the regulations, which was not mentioned a word but was hinted at every word:

"And it means to choose the culprit and bear all the blame. The counterfeit banknote case that caused a big fuss in Yanguo was caused by the culprit and Yuri. They committed all the crimes together. But now Yanguo is no longer interested in killing the nine tribes. , Therefore... Therefore, only the head of the Gou Wu family and the elders will be punished, and the rest will be punished with the loss of their property and exile to the frontier."

"Then he traveled up and down the border during his exile, camped here and there, and maybe encountered some amnesty. Then he moved his family back to Gouwu and continued to dominate - this is the unspoken follow-up, right?"

Hao Zhao interrupted Jingzhe's comfort to Wu You. The spicy revelation made Qilin's plain cheeks well up with blood, and her fair skin turned red from embarrassment. But she was facing a companion who was helping her side handle the case, so she could only lower her head. He shook his head and gave a silent hum.

"No need to be embarrassed, this is very common, really very common."

郝昭

Looking at the same embarrassed expressions on the faces of the three spies, they chuckled, but there was a bit of helplessness and a bit of sarcasm in the smiles. The benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise see the wisdom. The spies raised their heads and looked at each other apologetically. Since hearing about this incident, they said After a long time, he turned to look at Hao Zhao who was comforting them:

"What does Brother Wenyuan mean?"

Taihe was born without Jingzhe and Zuo Legao, so the experienced warrior could recover faster than the two young men. He looked at Hao Zhao, trying to judge from his expression whether it was an insincere irony or a matter of course, and then... he Captured with helpless sympathy.

"I went to Longmen from the countryside of Yanguo, where I saw the world. Then I came out of Longmen and traveled around Yanguo. I saw many things, some unfamiliar and some familiar."

Hao Zhao stared at the water in the tea cup that fluctuated with the sound, and said softly:

"The customs and customs of different places are naturally very different. If I were to describe all the characters I met throughout my travels, I would probably be unable to finish them all in an entire night. But when it comes to how each place is governed and governed...it is actually pretty much the same."

"As the Yan Kingdom has been in peace for a long time, the things that should be taken have already entered the hands of others, so the focus is no longer on the division of the real dragon time, but how to maintain it."
