Chapter 559: Sudden Enlightenment
On the border of the sparsely populated Dongzhou Empire, you will reach the Nanzhou Empire if you go to the left, and you will reach the Zhongzhou Empire if you go to the right.
But think about it, the more border places, the better the information, otherwise people will never live long.
"Brother Xu Ning, your face is not very good, are you worried about something?" Yan Bing put down his chopsticks, he couldn't eat them anyway, so he just forgot it.
Xu Ning picked up the jar of half vinegar and half wine, and poured two sips, this wine is indeed not very good, but as a drink, it feels good to drink a few sips.
"If you want to know what's going on, just go and see." He laughed as he spoke.
"Let's go, maybe we'll find something else to eat, even if it's a wild fruit." Yan Bing sighed, looked at the three-dimensional stew of sea, land and air in a bathtub, and really didn't have any appetite.
The town was originally not big, and the direction in which Dian Xiaoer ran was the other end of the town, Xu Ning and Yan Bing walked forward along the road paved by square wood, these woods were like waste here, but they were transported to the inner city of the Dongzhou Empire, and they still knew a lot of money. Because the feet are stepping on precious golden silk nanmu, although there are many forest trees in the Dongzhou Empire, there are still few golden silk nanmu, which is the material for making the coffin.
The square wood used here to make a stepping foot is really a bit of a tyrannical thing. Perhaps it is because of the relationship between this kind of wood that is strong and difficult to use and not afraid of water and fire.
However, when Yan Bing saw these cracks in these golden silk nanmu. When clusters of mushrooms grew, I immediately remembered the mushrooms in the pot, and I wondered if they had been picked directly from this wood, and a feeling of nausea came up with me.
Come to think of it, it's possible that the contents of the pot were plucked from the board from which the coffin was made, and the association alone can disgust people.
didn't go far, and a large group of people gathered in front of him, which couldn't help but make people's eyes shine, and suddenly a sense of security came to mind.
In fact, it only adds up to 100 people, most of whom are village husbands and women who are dressed plainly and simply. There was an old man in the middle who was reading the notice to everyone.
"The Holy Order of the Empire of Zidongzhou. In order to prevent chaos on the border and invasion by other countries, we will begin to purge the border from tomorrow for a period of 10 days. Staying in violation of the time limit is regarded as an enemy of the Empire. Kill or kill......"
There's a lot more to come. But they are all used to intimidate honest people, but between the words, it makes people feel coaxed and persuasive. It seems like immediately it's like driving everyone away!
Xu Ning glanced at it from a distance and couldn't help frowning.
He pulled Yan Bing to the side and looked around cautiously, only to breathe a sigh of relief when he was sure that there were no powerful tasks among the people in front of him, and that there were no other people around.
"Brother Xu Ning, what's wrong with you, you have always been unable to give up." Yan Bing asked worriedly.
"It's nothing, I just think it's weird."
"Does it have something to do with the letter you wrote?"
Xu Ning was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's worthy of Bing'er, it's really smart, and you can guess the point with a guess." Yes, it does have something to do with the letter I wrote, but it's a little different from what I expected. β
"What exactly is written in that letter, can you sue me?" Yan Bing asked in a low voice.
"Absolutely." Xu Ning smiled slightly and said, "I won't hide anything from you." The content of the letter was simple, just one sentence. What I wrote is: Dongzhou Imperial Family, Twelve Golden Grottoes, Twelve Families, and the Xu family will announce the world! β
"I don't quite understand what you mean."
"To be honest, I don't really understand, this is a sentence that automatically popped out of my head, it is about the secret of the twelve golden caves. The white butterflies have already stored all the information and information they have collected in my body, theoretically, I should know everything, but those information still need to be identified one by one, which will also take some time. But I know the general situation, it is the twelve cases that the Dongzhou royal family did a few years ago. β
"Will the Dongzhou royal family still commit crimes?" Yan Bing said with some surprise.
"Isn't that weird?" Xu Ning smiled slightly and said, "As a powerful force, if they say that they are innocent, the ghosts will not believe it." β
"However, the Dongzhou Imperial Family owns the entire Dongzhou Empire, will they still lack anything? If they really want to kill, they can use the power in their hands! Yan Bing said puzzled.
"Girl, you're so naΓ―ve." Xu Ning sighed and said, "Of course, I used to be as naΓ―ve as you!" However, after I went through the purification change, I thought more about things and saw things more clearly. Do you really think that as a member of the Dongzhou royal family, you can do whatever you want? β
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not." Xu Ning sighed and said, "Actually, an empire is the same as a family, even if you are the patriarch, not all people will listen to you." The things that seem to be separated are quite light, and there may be a situation where they will do it against you. β
"Even so, there is family affection, do you mean that there is chaos within the Dongzhou royal family?"
"It's not that there's chaos, it's that there's always been chaos. As long as there are people gathered, there will be contradictions, let alone something as tempting as an empire. Therefore, even if the people of the Dongzhou royal family want to realize certain wishes, they cannot be known, and they must be carried out secretly. β
Yan Bing nodded as if he didn't understand, and motioned for Xu Ning to continue.
"There are many big families in the Dongzhou Empire, and the strength of these families is far beyond people's imagination, there are many powerful people, and they are wealthy, to put it mildly, the reason why they are subordinate to the jurisdiction of the Dongzhou Imperial Family is just when they have an extra dog."
"Isn't that an exaggeration?" Yan Bing said in disbelief.
"It's not an exaggeration at all, the family is actually just a smaller empire, how are the people inside usually not united, but when they encounter the same external things, they will still clench their fists. I remember when I was five or six years old, I heard about the twelve serious cases that happened in the Dongzhou Empire, which have not yet been solved, and this is one of the handles of the Dongzhou Empire. β
"It turns out that the letter you wrote was to sue the Dongzhou royal family who went to the Xu family to find trouble, and you have the evidence of their crimes?"
Xu Ning nodded and said, "The twelve cases I mentioned are measures taken by the Dongzhou royal family in order to eradicate dissidents and divide the big family. At that time, Xuanyuan Yibo had just inherited the Dongzhou Empire, and there were twelve huge families around the empire, and their power was enough to threaten the Xuanyuan family. β
"So, the Dongzhou royal family sent someone to kill them?" Yan Bing said in surprise.
"Not to kill them, but to divide them." Xu Ning thought for a while and said, "Compared with the result, in fact, the most important thing is the means, the twelve families have been assassinated one after another, and they are all very controversial figures, as a result, these people began to fight each other, and in the end, they were all the result of losing both." The Dongzhou royal family came out to clean up the mess at this time, and it was effortless! β
Yan Bing felt incredible, he didn't expect that there would be such a person and such a thing! For her, a person who has never set foot in the world, the shock is also a matter of course.
"Are these people not aware of it at all? I mean, twelve families? β
"It's hard to keep your sanity when you're angry." Xu Ning shook his head and said, "But later, when they came to their senses, it was too late, not only was the family's vitality greatly damaged, but they were also frequently robbed by mysterious people. This is naturally used by the Dongzhou royal family to cover people's ears and eyes, and use the thieves' storage zΓ i to clear their suspicions. However, this matter is too obvious, and whoever gets the most benefits in the end is more likely to be the main messenger. The twelve families naturally understood, but there was nothing they could do. β
"Those things that were snatched away, didn't the Dongzhou royal family take them away? Why do you say the Underground Golden Cave? Yan Bing asked.
"Silly girl, those things that were snatched away never appeared on the Soul Continent again! Isn't that simple? Whoever has those valuable things means that the person who attacked the twelve families is who! Isn't that self-exposed? Therefore, the Dongzhou royal family found twelve very secret places in the Dongzhou Empire and hid all those things. β
"I see! Alas, this kind of thing is so sad, let alone thinking about it, just listening to it makes me feel very tired. Yan Bing shook his head and said, "Don't these people feel very tired of living?" β
"It's just greed." Xu Ning sighed and said, "The reason why I wrote that letter was to deter the Dongzhou Imperial Family, plus Xuanyuan Duba and Xuanyuan Yiqing, who fled back, they also knew how powerful I was, and they should definitely not make any big moves." But right now, such a strange order was issued, which is really incomprehensible. β
"Did they think of something to do?" Yan Bing said worriedly.
"No, all they can think of is how to prevent the twelve families in the early years. As far as I know, except for three or four of them, the rest of the families, although they are all divided, are still secretly united, and they seem to be looking for revenge. As soon as all I know about these things is published, big things will happen soon. Xu Ningban frowned and said.
"Brother Xu Ning, don't think about it if you really don't understand, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."
"Having said that, but ......" Xu Ning's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to say to himself: "Yes, why didn't I think of this!" β
"What? Brother Xu Ning?! β
Xu Ning turned around and smiled mysteriously, and said, "I probably already thought of what secret there is here!" (To be continued......)
