Liyue is still the country of contracts, but the power of contracts is in the hands of capital.
The fairness and justice of the past have now been stripped of their bright disguise, revealing their bloody core.
It only takes one day, one bad enough day, to destroy a person.
And this is just a small microcosm of the internal conflicts in Liyue. With the madness of the factory guards and the deliberate indulgence of the eight major families, the entire territory of Liyue began a reverse purge.
Because these factory guards wore gray clothes, this period was called the "Grey Terror", and the factory guards were also named "Greyhounds" and were forever recorded on the pillar of shame in history.
What Yan Fei saw was just the tip of the iceberg, the bigger ones were outside Liyue Port.
"Bury them! Bury them all! If you dare to smash my factory, I will make their whole family pay with their lives!"
"Come here, set up the oil pan and throw his son in. Don't you want to turn over? Today I will let you experience what it means to turn over a poor boy. This oil is enough for your whole family to eat for a lifetime!"
"Beat him to death and chop him into pieces. Everyone must take a bite. If anyone dares not to eat, I will kill his whole family!"
"How dare the mud-legged man turn things upside down and take out his intestines!"
In many invisible places, clans, landowners and capital colluded with each other and launched counterattacks in a more violent way. Bloody smiles filled the cheeks of the businessmen.
A great victory, an absolute great victory. You see, when we raise the butcher knife, these mud-legged people will still kneel down. They have been kneeling for thousands of years. Now they are just getting back the feeling they had before, MD, I really shame you, now let you understand who is the master of this world, hahahahahaha!
"There's no one here today either."
Xiang Ling was guarding her shop, but what she was thinking about was not what dish she was going to cook today, but the recent tragedy.
The greyhounds run rampant on the streets and beat workers when they see them in groups of two or three. The reason is that "these mud-legged people may cause trouble together. Although they don't, but if they do! As long as there is, then there must be, and this is a sin."
The door of the factory, where people used to come and go, is locked, and outside is a greyhound leading a wolfdog. I heard that those wolfdogs have eaten human flesh, and they especially like to bite people, and they are very cruel.
Workers must work in the factory for 16 hours a day, and in some places even 18 hours. Even if they do nothing, they must stay in the factory and are not allowed to whisper or have any communication, even if they are interested in each other. Just one look, and if the greyhound patrolling the factory sees him, he will be beaten severely.
After the largest circulation group was restricted, many outside industries declined. Xiangling was lucky. After all, Wanmintang had a good reputation and was a thousand-year-old brand. There would always be customers visiting, but those customers made Xiangling not feel the same as before. Plant the breath of all peoples.
Yes, they are well-dressed, and they look like successful and decent people at first glance, and they communicate with each other very politely, but these courtesy are all done wearing a mask, and the sincerity between people is gone, leaving only coldness. calculations and interests.
Xiangling didn't like this feeling very much.
"Guo Ba, I heard that something happened at Harbor Square and many people died."
"okokokok……"
"What happened to Liyue? Did something happen?"
Guo Ba shook his head, then stretched out his hand to pull the corner of Xiang Ling's clothes and pointed out the window.
Xiangling raised her head and saw a familiar figure.
"Yanfei! Long time no see...what's wrong with you?"
Xiang Ling couldn't believe her eyes. The Yan Fei in front of her had a depressed expression and her eyes were lifeless, like a wandering zombie without a soul. Her former liveliness and enthusiasm were gone. If it weren't for the iconic horns on her head, she would have wanted to I suspected that I had recognized the wrong person.
"Ah, it's Xiangling, hello."
"What are you...wait, where is your code?"
Yan Fei always carries a thick code with her. It is a very important thing, but Xiang Ling does not see it.
"I burned that book."
"That's it, it turns out it's burned... eh eh eh eh eh eh! Burn... it's burned!"
"Because it's useless. Liyue doesn't need that kind of thing anymore, just like me."
"Yanfei, what's wrong with you? Cheer up!"
Xiangling couldn't bear to see her friend so decadent, so she took her into Wanmin Hall.
"Here, this is Qingxin noodles. I have modified the seasoning to make the taste softer and more delicious. Try it when you are in a bad mood. You will not have the strength to face difficulties when you are hungry."
"Thank you."
Yan Fei picked up the chopsticks, but the next second, a picture flashed through her mind, and tears burst out of her eyes uncontrollably, and she cried like that.
"Hey! Yan Fei, what happened? You, don't cry! Okay, okay, just cry as much as you want."
Xiangling hugged Yanfei and let her have a good cry.
After a long time, Yan Fei said softly: "Thank you, I'm feeling better."
Xiang Ling nodded, held Yan Fei's shoulders, made her sit up straight, and then asked, "What happened?"
"dead."
"Ok?"
"It's much better to die. There are many people dead in Liyue."
During this period, Yan Fei visited Liyue Port and some surrounding villages and towns. In the past, these places were pastoral and peaceful lives, but now, factories have been built in many places, greyhounds are employed, and countless people They were stuffed in like fish and shrimp in a can and were forced to be burned inside.
The harmony and beauty of the past have all disappeared. Everyone is frantically chasing invisible benefits, and all they talk about is business. From wealthy businessmen to traffickers and pawns, the expressions on everyone's faces have changed. Society The atmosphere has also changed. In many places, there is no sense of humanity at all. Those workers who make high profits for businessmen will be beaten to death if they disobey.
After all, Liyue Port is at the feet of the emperor, and many things are barely restrained. But far away from the big cities, in the corners that are invisible in the suburbs, the bodies of workers who were beaten to death are hung directly at the factory gates, warning those who dare to resist. His legs are made of clay, and he uses fear to build a brutal order.
Even some Qianyan troops took the initiative to join in and became the lackeys of the businessmen, earning bloody gold and silver from the darkness and then enjoying a luxurious life.
Yan Fei, who possesses the blood of fairy beasts, naturally cannot accept such cruel pleasure, and the laws of order and long-term beliefs are pulling her not to act excessively. The world is still reasonable, and she cannot do whatever she wants with strength alone. That kind of violence is used by others. Disdainful.
But when the law and reality conflict, and the law cannot make reality better, collapse will inevitably occur.
Finally, Yan Fei's tight string broke.
Outside a factory in the suburbs, when the factory owner was about to hang two workers who had fainted on the production line because they were too tired, smoke completely erupted, and the churning flames instantly engulfed the entire factory, destroying everyone inside. Everything came to nothing.
When Yan Fei woke up, she saw broken walls and hundreds of mutilated corpses.
She killed someone, and this was the first time she killed everyone indiscriminately.
Knowing the law and breaking the law is an unpardonable crime, but more outrageous things are yet to come.
When the Qianyan Army arrived and Yan Fei was about to surrender, the centurion who led him said immediately: "Thank you, sir, for helping us eliminate the evil spirits. We have been watching here for a long time."
"Yaoxie? Wait, where did the monster come from? It's basically..."
"No, no, no, sir, you are really too humble. The evil spirits are hidden here, but we have no way to deal with them. But you just wiped out all the evil spirits with a fire, allowing us to win without any casualties. This You also have a share of the credit, please don't refuse. Okay, brothers, let's clean up the scene. Sir, please go back. We will be responsible for the remaining dirty work."
At that moment, Yan Fei felt that the centurion's submissiveness and smile were disgusting and disgusting.
The centurion was talking nonsense, but the other party didn't give Yan Fei any chance to explain. He just repeatedly emphasized that there were evil spirits here, and then Yan Fei helped them. What's even more outrageous is that after that, the Eight Gates also sent The commendation was signed with Ningguang's seal. It was simply outrageous that he opened the door to outrageous people. It was outrageous.
Yan Fei is not a fool. She immediately understood the attitude of these people. She wanted to treat herself well, eliminate hidden dangers, and also solve competitors. The land where the factory is located has been favored by a big name among the eight sects for a long time. Now it is just right. It's natural to take over and give Yan Fei some benefits to see if I can win her over.
If not, then she can be neutral. If she goes against them in the future, this matter will be a handle.
Everyone knows how to play, everyone knows how to play, everyone knows how to play!
Yan Fei had no memory of how she left there, but that night, she burned the Liyue Codex, which she had regarded as a treasure in the past, without any hesitation.
No need, no need anymore. Liyue doesn't need a humane lawyer now.
Maybe it would be better to go back to the mountains and become a fairy...
Chapter 181: This is all for your own good
(Second update! Where are your barrages and monthly tickets? Recommendations are fine, please give as much as you can)
"That's about it."
Zhongli wrote the last word and then passed the above content to Ilse.
He was also very busy during this period, mainly taking down lists.
"Emperor, this is the new list."
The 1.5-meter immortal master Mandrill suddenly appeared and handed over a thick stack of paper.
During this period of time, while Mandrill was busy slaying demons and defending the Way in various places, he also helped the emperor collect intelligence. Wherever cruel things happened, Mandrill would rush there and secretly record them, and then the relevant information would be sent to Zhongli.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Zhongli took out the notebook he had put away and continued writing.
I have already written three such books, and there are still a lot more.
Now he fully understands why Iles often stares at other people's family trees when dealing with such issues, because as long as a person in power is corrupt, the entire family or even the whole family around him will be the beneficiaries, and only a very small number will benefit from this system. Those who break away from the privileged class are all comrades, and the rest are just fodder for entertainment.
"Emperor, I have them here too."
This time, the real gentleman who is very good at chatting appears, that is, the hot woman, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun.
It is the Immortal (borrowing wind) that Zhuge Wuhou likes, but Iles’s version of Zhuge Wuhou does not need it, because he can really borrow Dongfeng 21D (Iles: Just tell me whether it is Dongfeng) .
Looking at the stack of paper Liu Yun borrowed from Feng Zhenjun, the pencil in Zhongli's hand broke.
Even at the age where he wanted to retire, Morax wanted to curse, why are there so many insects!
Forget it, a new list has appeared, how can it stand still.
After Yils' side has dealt with Dao's wife's affairs, it's Liyue's turn to clean up the evil spirits. Just prepare the list yourself.
Not long ago, Zhongli had a video call with Iers about the current situation in Liyue.
"There are conflicts every day in Liyue now, I think you know that."
"Well, I know, I even know the exact number of people."
"I'm curious, is the belief you insist on an end or a means?"
"If it were before, I would have told you that it was a means, but now, I would answer that it was a means, and more importantly, an end."
"So in your plan, Liyue's blood must be retained, right?"
"No, my plan is to work hard to avoid bloodshed, even if it is impossible, of course, in actual execution, there will definitely be bloodshed. The reality is there, everything I say is in vain, but I can guarantee that, Every drop of blood Liyue sheds now will not be in vain, and none of the scum that should pay the price can escape."
"Then can I understand that the current turmoil in Liyue is a lesson process. You are teaching the people of Liyue a lesson. The name of this lesson is "No Sacrifice, No Fairness"."
"It's too arrogant to take classes. The people don't need me to educate them. They just need some proper guidance when they are confused, that's all. The current turmoil in Liyue is the inevitable result of the barbaric growth of capital, and I want to What we do is to show its most bloody side in front of everyone, and then let the people of Liyue choose whether to explode in silence or endure in silence."
"Can I understand that you have certain expectations for the people of Liyue?"
"Yes, indeed."
"What are you expecting?"
"They have a group of leaders coming in and cleaning the damn thing up. Instead of dropping in a savior."
"I can tell you're very persistent about this."
"Haha, Zhongli, my teacher has been trying to determine one thing all his life, that is, when the people are oppressed, will they spontaneously organize resistance forces without anyone's call, and let the sun and moon Let’s make a new day.”
"It's a great idea, but the difficulty is not that high."
"Yes, at least under the current productivity conditions, the proletarians do not have such combat effectiveness. A vanguard is indispensable. But even so, I still want to give it a try, even if it is just a peasant uprising, as long as Once some people come, the world will definitely become a better place, it’s just a matter of sooner or later.”
"I understand, so I can't take action now, because as long as I get off the stage, those bastards will hide. In order to prevent this from happening, I even have to hide properly and stand by as a harmless idol."
"Actually, I hope you pretend to be dead. In this way, the people of Liyue will completely give up their illusions. After all, human beings can easily become loyalists because of their diversity, especially when the old forces have just collapsed. , before the new world really emerged, the flags of the past were still very attractive, because they were a proven order.”
"But you can't go back this way."
"Yes, because if you go back, you will collapse. A general teacher has already proved it with his own tragedy. So as long as you go on this road, you can never look back. Even if there is a lot of blood inside, you have to stick to the bottom line. , no matter how many colors are painted on it, the lowest line must be red, even if you are ridiculed, criticized, or even hostile, you must stick to it.”
"From your words, it's hard for me to imagine what kind of difficulties you have faced."
"The worst thing is to start over. The mountain is there. Just do it over again. What a big deal."
Zhongli knew very well that Ils was a standard loving father. He would provide support for his children, but it was only support. In reality, the wind, frost, snow, rain, lightning and thunder all need to be endured by the children themselves, because human beings are It's very inert. Only when the whip is actually slapped on the body will it really arouse anger.
The turmoil continues. Some people have made their own choices, and some people are about to make their own choices.
Liyue Port, Li Family Courtyard
"Keqing, long time no see."
"Ancestor! Hello." Keqing said politely and saluted as a junior.
This ancestor is the number one figure in the Li family. He is 97 years old this year and is the top leader of the Li family. When the two met for the first time, Ke Qing had just obtained the Eye of God.In her impression, this was a very kind great-grandfather.
"What ancestor? It's like I'm about to die. Call me Grandpa."
"Yes, great grandfather."
"You're so good, come on, come on, sit next to Grandpa, today I have your favorite golden shrimp balls."
The wine table was already filled with food, all of which were Keqing's favorite foods, but Keqing was not very appetizing.
