Chapter 1854 Scarlet Terror
A decisive battle was taking place in the northwestern border of the empire that affected the situation in the whole world, and at the same time, the south of Qin was not calm.
Although the shadow of war is still far away from the south, the impact of its radiation has begun to turbulent the people's livelihood in China.
Prices of daily necessities such as food and salt soared, and rumors spread among the crowd, saying that the court had been defeated but had concealed the news, saying that the court had defeated the Liao army, and even more excessively, there were also rumors that the prince of the crown prince secretly went to Ganzhou and Shaanxi to supervise the battle, but the news was rampant that the Liao Dynasty's crown prince Yelu Shenxuan was captured alive.
The more outrageous the news, the more people rumored it.
The most direct impact of these news among the people and the soaring prices is that the people's hearts are beginning to become unstable, and the sects of the martial arts sects have taken the opportunity to expand their territory, fighting and injuring people with force, and murders happen every day.
In other words, the living standards of the people began to plummet, and some rich or powerful people began to blatantly oppress the people.
The most direct impact of their oppression of the people is that their lives are more difficult, bankrupt and wandering on the streets, and outside the yamen, people complain that their own land is occupied every day. With the intervention of the sects of the world, conflicts within the entire society have surged, and more people have joined the bandits due to displacement, which further destroyed the social system and began to solve problems with force rather than the law.
Ordinary people have a hard time living, and rich people have a hard time living.
Even their suffering comes more directly and terrifyingly.
Dongchang Jinyiwei, these five words have now become a nightmare for the rich people in the south to be awakened by the dreams.
The Jinyiwei used a bloody butcher knife to tell the rich people that in the eyes of the court, they didn't even count the most humble dog. If they dared to fight against the court, they would have only one fate and their whole family would be dead.
That is the real death of the whole family. Not to mention the population, even the livestock raised in the family will be looted.
Under the bloody terror of the Jinyiwei, the rich people dared not speak out. They were in panic all day long. What they feared most every day was the knocking sound of the door, and the other sentence "Jinyiwei handled the case", which would be a sound of the death knell for them.
Under this terrifying high pressure, the anger of the rich has accumulated to the brink of an upcoming outbreak. No one knows whether the next one to be confiscated will be themselves, but until now, the Jinyiwei has never stopped the intention of butchering the knife. They have a premonition that one day it will fall on their heads. In the undercurrent, an invisible force is surging to promote them to unite and resist the Jinyiwei.
In the night, the Qinhuai River is still singing and dancing, and the cruise ships are coming and going, and there are tourists on both sides. Everything is as usual. It seems that the noise and hustle and bustle in the outside world have not affected the Jinling City ruled by King Wen.
"There is a fish in the Yangtze River called a knife. It is named after it looks like a big knife. It is often the size of a palm, and its taste is very fresh. It is called the most fresh in the world. This fish dies when it comes out of the water. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, not many emperors have eaten it. Brother Zhang, the King of Japan will catch you a few tails and try it."
