Four hundred and thirteenth chapter Tian Jue meeting
"There are probably only one person who dares to openly touch the goods from the Zi Yin Flower Chamber of Commerce." Wei Qiu said with his eyes narrowed.
"Who?" Lin Muyu asked.
"Stu Sen."
Wei Qiu's eyes were bright and said, "The entire East City of Lanyan City and the slums in the West City are almost controlled by the 'Tianjue Society' created by this man. From human trafficking to the employed mercenaries, even the imperial guards must give him some face."
"There's something like this."
Lin Muyu looked at Feng Jixing and said, "Master Feng, Lan Yan City is the territory of your imperial guards. How could you tolerate such a person?"
"This is not as simple as Ayu, you see." Feng Jixing touched his nose and said, "After three years of rest and population migration, Lanyan City has returned to a giant city with a population of 5 million. The scale of the city is much larger than you think. The civilian area stretches for hundreds of miles, and it is not something that the 20,000 imperial guards can be under the jurisdiction of 20,000 people. However, this Tianjue Society has already had more than 100,000 people and spontaneously formed a self-growth model. Although the Tianjue Society has also done bad things, it has invisibly solved the problems of food, water, clothing and other issues in the slums."
Qin Yin blinked and smiled and said, "Brother Ayu, our current military strength and financial resources are quite limited, so let Situ Sen and Tianjuehui be in the East City and the West City, but don't worry, this is just a "pig-raising" tactic led by Feng. Once the time is ripe, Tianjuehui can provide us with a lot of manpower and material resources."
"So it turns out that the empire is unable to govern..."
Lin Muyu pondered and said with a smile: "It's okay. Let me meet Situ Sen and see who he is. He dares to even rob my goods."
"A Yu, you have to be careful." Feng Jixing warned cautiously: "The Tianjue Meeting is not just Situ Sen. He also has a sister named Situ Xue. He is the leader of the Lingbei Mercenary Group, the first mercenary group in Lanyan City. You should have heard of this person."
Lin Muyu was stunned: "Situ Xue, it really sounds familiar..."
"If you want to go to the Tianjue Club headquarters, you need to bring more people so that you can protect yourself once the conflict arises."
"I understand, Brother Feng, don't worry."
Lin Muyu turned around and clasped her fists, bowed to Qin Yin and left Zetian Palace with Wei Qiu, Jin Xiaotang and others.
"Commander, how many brothers in the Dragon Camp we will bring over?" Wei Qiu asked.
"No need to do too much, just order a thousand troops, let Feng Xi and Xu Jiantao lead the team."
"yes."
...
An hour later, the cavalry of the Longtian Camp, equipped with exquisite armor, rushed out of the camp and led by Lin Muyu and Wei Qiu, heading straight to Dongcheng District. The Tianjuehui General Hall is in the center of the slums in Dongcheng District, and is also the poorest and most densely populated place in Lanyan City. The Tongtian Street where Lin Muyu usually lives is actually just a dense place for nobles and wealthy civilians.
After more than half an hour of running, the towers on both sides gradually disappeared, replaced by low houses closely connected, many of which were just wooden structures, as if a heavy rain could be washed away. The people in the slums were indifferent, and they watched the army of the Gentian Camp wearing the imperial military emblem galloping past, as if they had nothing to do with them.
Not long ago, there was the vegetable market and the slave market. It is a pity that although the Qin Empire seemed very prosperous, it was still in the transitional stage between slave society and feudal society. People were cold-hearted, and a group of slaves stood in a row like goods for the merchants and travelers to choose from. When they met, they seemed to be like black, white, fat and thin.
Lin Muyu frowned and walked slowly on his horse. On the side, Jin Xiaotang seemed to see through his thoughts and said with a smile: "Brother Ayu, do you still not see the deal with the slaves?"
"Yes." Lin Muyu nodded: "People should be born equal."
Jin Xiaotang was a little surprised and stuck out his tongue and smiled, "But it is not like this in this world. Some people are born to be emperors, just like His Highness Yin, and some are born to be slaves, like these people in front of you."
Lin Muyu said: "If these slaves were released, they were given abandoned land for them to cultivate and plant, and they could seize part of the food cost, would the value they could generate greater?"
Jin Xiaotang was stunned again: "Maybe Brother Ayu is right, but Xiaotang has never thought about these..."
Wei Qiu whispered beside him: "Master, should we use the funds of the Zi Yinhua Chamber of Commerce to buy the strong men in the slave market at a cheap price, give them freedom, let them take up weapons and serve their loyalty to the country."
"no."
Lin Muyu shook her head and said, "This will only make the slave traders even worse. One day I will change all this from the original source."
Wei Qiu was stunned and silent.
Perhaps just as Lin Muyu said, this status quo needs a change to change.
What can change?
Nothing is more than a holy edict from the Empress Qin Yin, which will impart a general amnesty to the slaves in the world, and give them complete equality, compensation, and comfort those slave masters, so that everything can be fundamentally changed, but this takes time and takes a lot of time.
...
The sound of horse hooves was dense. After passing through several city gates, he finally arrived at the core of the slums. A patrolman came along with a war horse, with a fat face on his face bowed respectfully to Lin Muyu and said, "I am the subordinate, I don't know if this general is."
Wei Qiu pointed to the emblem of the Gentian Camp on his chest and said lightly: "We are people from the Gentian Camp."
The knight naturally understood who the handsome commander was in front of him, and hurriedly saluted: "See the commander of the rain."
Lin Muyu nodded: "What are your name and what are you responsible for here."
The knight said: "The villain is named Zhang Lei, who belongs to the Imperial Ministry of War, and is responsible for patrol missions on this street."
"You are the only one in such a big street." Lin Muyu was surprised.
"Yes, the Ministry of War does not have so many troops to share, and... there are thousands of streets like this in Dongcheng District, and there are many troubles to patrol, so the troops assigned are also very scarce."
"I think the public security here must be not very good." Lin Muyu asked with a smile.
Zhang Lei was stunned as if he was silent, and clasped his fists and said, "Master Qi Bingyu, there are very few people under his subordinates here to provoke trouble. Please observe clearly."
"Okay, don't say that much, take me to the Tianjue Club General Assembly. I want to meet Situ Sen."
"ah."
Zhang Lei's face was shocked.
"What, don't you dare to go?" Wei Qiu sneered.
Zhang Lei gritted his teeth and said, "Then... my subordinates just led the commander to the gate of the Tianjue Society, and they would not go in."
"Okay, let's go."
"yes."
Zhang Lei turned over and took Lin Muyu and others to the end of the street.
At the end of the street, there were no more poor people, but they turned into groups of people wearing brocade clothes. Between the dilapidated buildings, a black tower rose up from the ground, standing out in the slums like a crane. It was the main hall of the Tianjuehui, Wei Qiu, Feng Xi and others couldn't help but secretly admire that Tianjuehui was indeed extraordinary, and the momentum of this building was comparable to that of the royal residences.
When Zhang Lei came to the front of the mansion, several people wearing green armor burst into laughter: "Hey, Zhang Lei, why are you here again? Why? The spicy and sour rice I invited you last time wasn't sour enough?"
Zhang Lei rode his horse with a pale face and took several steps back.
In the courtyard, several disciples of Tianjuehui rushed out immediately, grabbed the reins, and pulled Zhang Lei off the war horse. One of them laughed: "You dare to care about our Tianjuehui's idle business. I'm really impatient to live. Come on, kowtow to the uncle a few times, and I'll let you go back and continue to get your tolerance work."
Zhang Lei's face looked very ugly, and he looked at Lin Muyu and others for help.
At this time, several disciples of the Tianjuehui turned around and saw a thousand elite soldiers of the Dragon Dan Camp Empire standing behind them, and their faces were pale one after another.
Lin Muyu turned over and dismounted and smiled faintly: "Lin Muyu, the Imperial Army's Gentian Camp, asked to see Situ Sen, please pass it on to me."
"You...you..."
The head-on-headed man looked dead and said, "The Imperial Army never came to our Rotten Water Street. This is what the Gentian Camp wants."
Wei Qiu's face turned cold, half of the sword blade was unsheathed, and he shouted in a low voice: "I haven't gone to the public yet, do you want to die?"
"Yes...yes, you guys wait..."
Several thugs let go of Zhang Lei and rushed into the mansion in panic.
Zhang Leize said with shame: "Master Yu, my subordinates are... to embarrassing the Imperial soldiers."
"It's okay." Lin Muyu said in a gentle expression: "It's because the military sect has too few people here, and the Tianjue Club is too rampant. It's not your fault, but you're suffering here."
"I don't have any hardship..." Zhang Lei said tremblingly.
"Go, leave it to me."
"yes."
...
After about a cup of tea, the Longtan Camp outside the mansion was extremely impatient. Many people were nervous and would rush in to start a killing spree at any time. They scared the guards outside the Tianjuehui so much that their faces were pale and they did not dare to say anything. After all, these people from the Tianjuehui could only act as a blessing to the civilians. Once they encountered a regular army like the Longtan Camp, they would be scared to death.
At this moment, a warrior wearing a fiery red armor and a long sword walked out and clasped his fists at Lin Muyu and smiled respectfully: "It turns out that Commander Yu is here. I am one of the five officials of the Tianjue Society, named Zhou Nian. The head of the commander Situ Sen has prepared a banquet. Please invite Commander Yu to go in with us to have a chat."
"Thank you." Lin Muyu smiled with his fists, pressed the hilt of the sword around his waist and stepped into the door. Wei Qiu, Feng Xi and others dismounted and rushed in with the Longtian camp.
Zhou Nian turned around quickly, with a little embarrassed face and said, "Teacher Yu, please forgive me, the Tianjue Club headquarters is too small and can't accommodate too many people, so... you can only enter five people."
"Yeah."
Lin Muyu smiled slightly and said, "Wei Qiu, bring three people with me in, Fengxi, Xu Jiantao, you two will take everyone outside."
"Yes." Feng Xi, Xu Jiantao said in unison.
Wei Qiuze smiled and said, "If the commander and I don't come out within an hour, you will go back to Yingpan, convene 20,000 Longtian Camp troops, and level the Tianjue Conference."
"yes."
Chapter completed!
