At this time, Chang'an is no longer as prosperous and lush, and it is bustling with people. Because he has done too many bad things in the name of Li Xuekai, the people's morale of the new emperor has reached an outrageous level: not only can he not recruit soldiers, but no one is willing to pay taxes, and those mining areas have even gathered people to mutinier because of the heavy oppression of officials.

These are all to be counted on Li Xuekai's head, and the history books will record his violent nature, will record that he appointed officials to loot the people's fat and ointment, and will record that he did not die well against the sky. But the Illuminati will hide in the shadows and enjoy all the treasures and resources scavenged from the market, anyway, they don't have to bear the consequences, this is a cost-free business, don't do it for nothing.

In Huaibei, the Bright School is a very sacred place, they are strict, and they will teach children to read and write for free. All the cloth parents who send their children there hope that their dolls will be able to get ahead in the future, but the truth is always not so satisfying.

The children did have someone there to help them learn, but it was not the knowledge of the sages, but the work, and all the children had to be taken by the housekeeper to do the farm work, and when the parents brought them to the Illuminati, they signed a ten-year agreement of life and death, and basically none of these children would return home alive.

Do the dirtiest and most tiring work, anyway, they have no one to protect them, and no one cares about their life or death. In the coldest part of winter, they can only huddle together to keep warm, and in the hottest time of summer, they can only splash well water on themselves to keep warm, and catch flies to play by themselves at night. This kind of life lasts for three years, and they will really learn things, and they will have a new name and a new identity.

Since then, they have nothing to do with the Buyi family, and they will only remember the person who gave them food and the person who rescued them from the sea of suffering, who is the Dharma Protector and the Bright Sect. No one will know that in the past few years, their blood and sweat have been eaten and stripped away little by little by this Dharma Protector in front of them.

Just after the new emperor ascended the throne, his minions of the Illuminati faction in the palace searched for good-looking boys and girls for his pleasure in order to please him and make him settle down. It doesn't take much effort for the two groups to have a conflict of interest. In fact, it was all for their own selfishness, and no one was willing to let anyone, so they fought for the head.

The old man in charge was not in a hurry, so he quietly listened to what they said, each talking about his own thing. One said that from the perspective of long-term development, the Guangming faction needed to set up an archway in the market to add manpower, the old man nodded and said yes, and the other did not give an inch and said that the establishment of the country now is a major matter in the eyes of the Guangming faction, and it cannot be confused by the small profit of abducting and selling children.

The two of them quarreled so much that the old man squatted aside and fiddled with his flowers and plants. The two quarreled for a while without result, so they stopped talking, and obediently stood aside, bending over with their heads down. "What you say makes sense, but it seems to me that it's just a small matter, it's all a small benefit, don't take the gains and losses so important."

"Let's talk about you first, you sell children, I turn a blind eye, the money doesn't go into my pocket, anyway, the old man doesn't want to care about you. Over the years, you have become more and more rampant, and raising children is also in the eyes of no one, only the Great Protector, not the Light Sect. I ask you, yes or no? Why is it that the old man hasn't left yet, and you're thinking about things? ”

The Great Protector didn't expect that these things were not hidden from the old man's eyes, so he simply lowered his head and pretended to be an honest man. "It was the negligence of his subordinates, which almost caused a big disaster, and please punish the boss!" "Let's talk about you, you are also pedantic, that Li Xuekai is obviously restless, why do you force him? Isn't he looking for his waste subordinates? Why don't you go to the Great Protector to find a face, go to the palace to win his trust, and find something for him to do? ”

Among the two hundred people, the elder chose Zhang Hua, who was the most handsome. Under the earnest entrustment of the Great Protector, Zhang Hua endured the knife with loyalty, changed his identity with loyalty, and lured Li Xuekai step by step to find his gang of bastard friends. Don't focus on the battle reports of defeats on the front, in case the scapegoat comes to his senses, it may not be who is unlucky.

"Are you saying that Li Xiangyang and the others are all locked up in prison, and they are not actually appointed to any official positions?" Li Xuekai stood up from his chair: "That makes sense, why is it not in the list of officials, it seems that these wastes are quite hard-mouthed, do you have any way to let me see them?" ”

Zhang Hua thinks about it, it should be visible. "The slave maid found a path in the palace that can lead directly to the outside of the palace, but Your Majesty's daughter, how can she be so risky?" "Do you think I'm a daughter? Alright, give me a set of clothes, and I'll leave today. "Li Xiangyang's situation is quite good, after all, no one really wants to take the lives of these wastes.

The exception is the relationship between the Li family and the merchants who did business in Huaibei in the past, businessmen, instinctively are those who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so when the wind is not in the right direction, they defect to the Guangming faction and become the money bags of the Guangming faction, after all, it makes no difference who to send money to.

When Li Xuekai came out of prison, he was thinking about the pros and cons of rescuing these subordinates. Now, he himself is in danger, how can he test their safety with his own life? No matter how they say that they are the head of the family, it is the mission of these servants to die for themselves. When I followed myself for a while, I should have thought of today, not to mention that now there are better people.

"Your Majesty, do you want to issue a holy decree to pardon them?" Zhang Hua asked. Li Xuekai shook his head: "It's not time yet, the risk is too great, if you forcibly save them, I'm afraid it will backfire." I see that they are doing well, and there is no need to save them. Zhang Hua gritted his teeth when he heard this, this person is really simple-minded and listens to the wind and rain.

For many years, Li Xuekai has been a rich idler, his IQ is only used to protect himself and bully his subordinates, and since he was a child, those concubines have to line up for him to beat him after school every day. is the same person, he is naturally taller than them, and he is also surnamed Li, but he is rich and has the shadow of his ancestors in the world, but they send people under the fence and live a miserable life.

"General, Chang'an is close at hand." "How far is it?" "There are three more cities, a day's journey." Xu Yuan groaned and walked into the tent, "Marshal, we are about to advance into Chang'an." "General Xu, please strangle the remnants of the Bright Sect near Luancheng, and you can't let any of them go." "But I want to go to Chang'an..."
