Human, am I evil?

But Inazuma's country-locked policy made it impossible for them to leave. Even if they left secretly, they couldn't cross the thunderstorm area in the open sea. If they forced it, they might lose their lives.

Those who want to find Di Ruiji for help, knowing that she is currently traveling in the Seven Kingdoms, look forward to the stars and the moon, and hope that she can come to Dao Wife soon.

Under such expectations, Di Ruiji's reputation gradually grew, to the extent that even the children on the street had heard of it.

"If you can really cure any disease, then I have something to ask you. Please listen to my request later and help me treat some people."

When he said this, Thomas' eyes were full of expectation. He really hoped that Di Ruiji could cure all diseases as rumored.

He was still quite worried. The disease he wanted to ask Di Ruiji to treat was a common problem in Dao's wife, which had never appeared in Liyue and Monde.

He wasn't sure if Di Ruiji could handle them, but Dao's wife's doctors couldn't handle those things, so he could only hope that Di Ruiji could cure them as rumored.

"If I have time, I will help."

Di Ruiji didn't refuse. Since Thomas can be favored by Beidou, it means that he should have certain abilities here. In the future, they may need his help in the Dao Wife operation.

"Okay, I see that you are getting along quite well. If this is the case, then I should go. Before the soldiers of Daozuma want to check the Death Star, after all... I have another ship on board." A wanted criminal."

Fengbara Manyo is still on board, and he is currently on a wanted list. If Inazuma's soldiers find him on the Death Omen, some of the actions of the Death Oustar on Inazuma will be hindered.

"Are you going to separate here? Big Sister Big Dipper."

Paimon looked at Beidou with some reluctance. Although she only got along with her for a few days, she liked this bold big sister very much.

Hearing that she was about to leave, Paimon's sense of security suddenly became much less, and some hoped that she would not leave.

"Don't show such an expression, Paimon. You have your affairs, and I have my own affairs to deal with. I believe that with your strength, no matter what kind of trouble you encounter, you can get through it."

Just like a real big sister, Beidou gently patted Paimon's head and comforted her.

Under Beidou's appeasement, Paimon also accepted the fact that Beidou was leaving, and nodded.

"Well, I see. Goodbye, have a good trip, Big Sister Beidou."

Finally, after stroking Paimon's head, Beidou and the others nodded and walked towards the Death Omen.

After Beidou left, everyone present turned their attention to Thomas. Being watched by so many beautiful girls at once, Thomas scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Well, let's go to the monitoring station to register first. Are you going to be active in Daozu next? If this is the case, it's better to register carefully. The [Locking Order] is very strict. If someone finds it suspicious, they will check their identities. If there is no information at that time, even if he escapes, he will be wanted."

Thomas knew their concerns, and it was a little unnerving to meet Daozuma's law enforcement officers all at once, but there was nothing he could do about it.

There is no way to escape some inspections, and there is no way to abide by some rules, so... what they have to do now is to deal with the irregular things in a regular manner.

Under the guidance of Thomas, the group first obtained permission to land on the island, and then went to the Supervision Department of Yuanguo to go through the residency procedures. This procedure requires payment.

Originally, it was nothing. When they were in Mond and Liyue, they also had contact with the official personnel and went through some procedures.

It's just... when the other party proposed the handling fee, everyone was shocked.

It takes 100 million for one person to handle the transaction fee, and there are four of them besides Thomas, which means 400 million Mora.

Let alone this number, even Di Ruiji frowned when he heard it.

Is this person looking at them from other countries and trying to steal their money?

Fortunately, with Thomas here, the original fee of 400 million moras was cut down to only [-] moras.

Ying and Paimon who watched this process were stunned (°ー°〃). They had seen bargaining before, but this was the first time they saw this way of bargaining from a few million to a thousand.

But seeing that the other party agreed to the proposal without any embarrassment, everyone knew that there must be something wrong with it.

"She's lying to us."

Taking advantage of people entering to register the information of Di Ruiji and his party, Di Ruiji said: "The one million yuan per person is a rule set by them themselves. I am afraid that the money will end up in their pockets, isn't it?"

Thomas nodded: "That's right. In fact, they also know that so many moras can't be paid by ordinary people. But if...if the person who landed on the island is a wealthy businessman with a relatively easy-to-bully personality, they will be surprised by the amount. Jump, but I will obediently hand over the money."

"Wow~ Is this too much? Isn't this just bullying honest people?"

Paimon was a little scared. It's not that they don't have so much money, but if they pay the money obediently, she feels that there will be more such money-making things waiting for them in the future.

"...corruption, did the management not see the problem? Or is it the same with the management?"

If you want to develop a country well, it is absolutely unacceptable to enrich your own pockets, and even if you do, you should not be so exaggerated.

A problem that could have been solved with a few hundred moras, but they suddenly obtained millions of moras. Di Ruiji would be the first to not believe this kind of self-enriching behavior if the higher authorities hadn't found out about it.

Mond's West Wind Knights, Liyue's General Affairs Department, these management levels may have problems in a certain link, but overall they must be fine.

But it's obviously not the first time that person has done this kind of thing, which means...the management is rotten from the root.

Why is no one in charge?Because I can't control it, once I want to improve, I will be attacked by other corrupt officials, and I can only join them in order to protect myself.

Thinking of this, Di Ruiji looked at Thomas: "Is this the only situation here? Or is it the same situation in other places?"

"...it's pretty much the same everywhere else."

Thomas hesitated, and finally chose to answer the question honestly.

After all, even if he chooses to hide it, he can come to this conclusion when they leave the outlying island to go to other places and see more people.

"Hey~ As the administrator of this country, didn't General Raiden do anything?"

"No, if something is done, it won't become like this."

"That's it, that's it. Hehehe~ It's really interesting. Not only is the country locked down, no trade with other countries, even the domestic situation is like this. General Lei Dian didn't even stop it. If she didn't bother to take care of it, she would Isn't it just that she was deceived by her subordinates, and she didn't even know what the subordinates were doing. How long can such a country... last?"

I thought this country was just stagnant, but now it seems that it is still going backwards. This is not a good sign. Di Ruiji has already seen a sign of destruction.

Di Ruiji's words were quite impolite, but they were also true. Thomas also understood this, so he didn't refute, but just smiled bitterly.

"However, what does this have to do with us? We came here this time just to meet with General Thunder and confirm some things, right?"

Di Ruiji is not interested in whether the country will be destroyed, and if Ying wants to intervene, it is not impossible for her to do something.

But Ying didn't intend to intervene at all at this time. After all, this was a matter at the national level. Her personal power was limited and she couldn't change anything.

What is the future of this country?Will Ying's arrival change the country?She is very curious.

Volume 204: [-]: Quick!Please come in!

"Please don't say that, not all officials are corrupt. The head of the family and the lady are working hard to make things develop in a good direction. With their efforts, I believe things will develop in a good direction."

"Do you really think so? Or is it just a good word for someone you are loyal to?"

Thomas was speechless. He naturally believed in his heart that the people he was loyal to could make Dao's wife develop in a good direction, but he also saw that it was difficult to do this only by their efforts.

"No matter what you tell us, we only believe what we see with our own eyes. We want to meet General Thunderbolt. Do you or the people behind you have a way to introduce us?"

"There is no problem with this. Although the current situation is very bad, with the ability of the head of the family, it is still possible to introduce a few people to General Thunder and Lightning."

Thomas' pupils lit up, and he hurriedly followed Di Ruiji's words.

Ying's eyes lit up when she heard that Thomas could help, but they couldn't help them in vain, there must be something else going on.

Di Ruiji was not interested in listening. This Thomas must be planning to ask Ying to do something, and she is not interested in participating in it.

"I'm going to take a stroll nearby, and I'll come back to find you later."

"Well, go ahead, Di Ruiji."

Di Ruiji told Shen He to stay beside Ying, as if something unexpected had happened.

Walking on the streets of outlying islands, this is an area where foreigners gather, some of whom are businessmen from foreign countries, who come to Daozawa to do business and conduct trade.

This was originally a good thing. Just look at Liyue Port, where the atmosphere of trade is the strongest, and merchant ships from other countries come here to do business every day.

This made Liyue extremely prosperous, but Daozuma's place was a different scene.

It was supposed to be very lively here, and there should be businessmen from rice wives here to do business with foreign businessmen, but because of the lock-up order, these foreign businessmen can't do business well at all, and because of the corruption of officials, some even eat Having enough food is a problem.

Di Ruiji walked casually and observed the conditions of these people. Most of them were in a weak state, and some were already in a state of malnutrition. What made her even more angry was that there were children among these people.

"Are you okay? Hu'er. You've been like this since yesterday. Do you want to let Uncle Tao take a look? He might have something to do."

"Thank you, Ash. But I'm really fine, I'm just...just hungry."

The sound of the two children's conversation appeared in his ears, and Di Ruiji followed the sound to find the past, and he saw the two children there.

One of the boys looked very weak, and under the worried eyes of the girl, he tried his best to look healthy, but Di Ruiji knew that his condition was very bad, and he would faint if he didn't eat any more.

【...I don't want to help them, I just want to get information about Inazuma from them. 】

With this in mind, Di Ruiji came to the child.

Before Di Ruiji approached, the body of the child who heard the footsteps shook violently, and looked in the direction of the sound in fear.

When they saw that the person who came was Di Ruiji, they were relieved, and their expressions gradually softened.

"Big... big sister, what can I do for you?"

Axi looked at Di Ruiji nervously. She had never seen this big sister before. She was so beautiful, and her aura was a bit like a big shot from other places.

A Xi didn't know whether she was a foreigner who came here, or another high-level member of Dao's wife, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

"Hmph, brat. I have something to ask you..."

Di Ruiji was about to say something, but Hu'er beside him couldn't even stand up, and was about to fall to the ground.

Axi was shocked and was about to help him up, but Di Ruiji came to Hu'er side by side, stretching out his arms to hug him.

Seeing Di Ruiji pick up Hu'er, Axi was relieved. She noticed that Di Ruiji's clothes were dirty because of picking up Hu'er, and she was a little worried that Di Ruiji would be angry because of this matter. .

Di Ruiji noticed A Xi's gaze, saw the dust on his clothes, snorted softly, carried Hu'er to a chair next to him, put his hands on his chest, and felt a warm breath. Green light blooms.

Axi covered her mouth, not daring to speak out, for fear of affecting Di Ruiji's movements.

Following Di Ruiji's actions, Hu'er's expression gradually eased, and he fell asleep with ease.

After making sure that his life was safe, Di Ruiji stopped and looked at Axi who was beside him.

"Thank you...thank you, Big Sister. Big Sister is so amazing, she cured Hu'er all at once."

"Hmph, I just want to ask you something I want to know. If something happens to him, you have to take him away, and then I will waste time looking for other people."

"Yes...Is that so? I see, Big Sister."

Axi bit her finger and observed Di Ruiji curiously. Although she was still a child, she traveled all over the world with her father and met many people.

She could see that Di Ruiji was not as impatient as she showed, if she really just wanted to ask for information from herself, with her ability, even if she didn't help Hu'er, she could force herself to answer.

But she treated Hu'er and even stained her clothes because of it, which is something that the high-ranking officials and nobles she knew would never do.

Thinking of this, Ah Xi showed a cute smile. The big sister in front of her is probably a good person, but she is just a weird person.

"He has been hungry for too long, and your situation is similar. It's just that you are a girl and you eat a little less, but he is different. If you don't eat sooner, even if I cure him this time, he will be very sick." It’s going to be like this again soon.”

As long as you eat a little something, there will be no problem, but this simple condition is unexpectedly difficult to achieve.

"I'm sorry, Big Sister. Given the current situation on the outlying islands, it's very difficult to do this."

"...Why? You should be the son of a merchant, and he must be too. You shouldn't be short of money, right? If that's the case, why can't you even do something as simple as getting full?"

"Because...the tax to be paid recently has changed from Mora to a commodity called crystallized bone marrow. As the demand continues to increase, the price of purchasing this is getting higher and higher. The money spent on purchasing that recently It has almost exceeded our family’s profit from selling goods, and there is no way to sell goods if this continues.”

Not only their house, but even other shops have not opened for business for many days because of this reason, and there have been considerable losses.

For this reason, they have recently been unable to meet such a simple requirement as filling their stomachs.

Hearing this, a red light flashed in Di Ruiji's eyes. Although Axi didn't say much, she was already able to get along with her. There must be the intervention of the person who made the appointment.

Someone deliberately raised the price in an attempt to obtain huge profits. If there was no handwriting in the process, she would never believe it.

Di Ruiji closed her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking about, and Axi didn't dare to disturb her, so she just sat and watched.

Soon, Di Ruiji opened his eyes, looked at Axi and Hu'er who hadn't woken up in front of him, and took out some chicken skewers with wild mushrooms from his personal space.

"This is a reward for you, the amount is not much, you share it with this brat."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for A Xi's reaction, he stuffed the chicken skewers into her hands, got up and walked towards a certain place.

Looking at the chicken skewers with wild mushrooms in his hand and smelling the fragrance from above, Axi watched Di Ruiji's leaving back, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Thank you, big sister. You are indeed a very good person."

Where did Di Ruiji go at this time?She walked towards the largest building on the outlying island, which was the headquarters of Kanding Xingxing.

Along the way, Di Ruiji could see soldiers standing guard around him, and they had already noticed Di Ruiji's appearance.

Some people wanted to stop her, but because of Di Ruiji's temperament, she was worried that she was some kind of noble lady, afraid of offending her, so they could only watch her from a distance as she came to the gate of Kanding Xingxing.

Finally, when she came to the gate of Kanding Xingxing, she was stopped by the guards here.

"Stop, this is the Kanding Enforcement Office, no one else is allowed to enter!"
