Chapter 1305: Countermeasures
"Ah Si, I didn't do that. ”
After seeing Lin Si, Ye Hong's first words were not concealed in the slightest.
And Lin Si's reply to him was also very direct.
"I know it's not you. ”
He didn't ask any details at all, nor did he ask about the process, let alone suspect Ye Hong of lying.
However, despite what he said, Ye Hong still couldn't let go.
"I couldn't prevent this in advance. Shuangzeji is my defense area, and it should be my duty to protect the people there, which is my dereliction of duty. ”
Lin Si patted him on the shoulder, shook his head and said, "That's indeed your dereliction of duty, but it's more of a dereliction of duty by officials up and down in Xiwu Prefecture." It should be their duty to defend the people there, and you don't have to blame yourself too much. ”
"I didn't think about taking revenge on the people of Qianlan at all......"
"I know, how could a second brother be such an honest person, how could he do that kind of thing?" Lin Si pulled him to sit down with a smile, while Tang Xiaozhi hurriedly made him a cup of tea.
"Well, you can believe me so much, I really ...... Actually, I don't have any evidence at all. ”
Lin Si laughed: "If the second brother has an accident, of course the fourth brother wants to help." Just leave this matter to me. ”
Seeing his relaxed face, Ye Hong was suddenly full of surprise: "Really, you already have an eyebrow about this matter?"
If it were someone else, he wouldn't have turned his worries into joy so quickly, but Lin Si was different.
He and Lin Si have known each other for a long time, whether it was the way to kidnap Yue Luoning back then or the battle against Nanqi and Zixing together, he has witnessed Lin Si's magic with his own eyes.
In his eyes, the fourth brother is almost omnipotent, and there are almost no problems that he can't solve. No one else can think of any predicament, but he can always easily break through the situation.
Perhaps, Lianqin back then was the same in the eyes of Rong Yu and others, right?
"I can't talk about it, but it's not that complicated, after all, something similar happened back then. ”
"Back then?"
"Have you forgotten that Tianhe's black scarf was stolen back then? This incident made me smell familiar. ”
Lin Si mentioned this, Ye Hongcai suddenly remembered one thing that Lin Si had said after returning from Tianhe, active on the border of the four countries of Tianhe in the Moon Country, Qingchuan, Southern Qi, and Tianhe, the black turban thieves who looted everywhere were actually a force of the Tianhe official.
This result, if Lin Si hadn't mentioned it at that time, they would never have imagined it.
The reason is very simple, the black turban thieves have actually killed the people of Tianhe and plundered the villages of Tianhe.
And the reason why they want to do this is to make people suspicious of Tianhe Kingdom.
"Could it be that this is done by the Qianlan people themselves? How is it possible...... That's their own people, and the people there are the most resistant to our Moon Country, and they should be their own people!"
Lin Si hooked the corners of his mouth, and a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes: "For some purposes, the big people can sacrifice anyone, as long as they think it's worth it." ”
"What will they get? Blame us and make the people hate us?"
"You're right, that's what they're for. ”
"But that's ridiculous. Qianlan has long been pacified by us, and even if the people resist, they will no longer be able to set off the storm. Once the imperial court wants us to send troops to suppress it, it will only cost those people their lives in vain......"
Yes, the fact that the people rebelled against the imperial court is not so unusual in the history of the mainland.
In so many countries, after so many dynasties, there will be some dumb and unscrupulous kings and ministers, and it is not surprising that the people will not be able to survive, and it is normal for the people who can't survive to eventually gather to resist, and even form a torrent of armies.
It is true that small countries have been overthrown over the millennia. No monarch wants to see rebellion within his territory, and even if he can suppress it, it will eventually be a serious loss of national strength.
But this time Qianlan is different, although the people of Qianlan are shouting to beat the people of the Moon Country back, they can't do it at all.
Even the Qianlan army was defeated by the Moon Kingdom, and no matter how large the civil resistance was, it could not pose a threat to the Moon Kingdom army. The improvised rebel army lacked formal training, masters, weapons and armor, and effective command.
If you really want to calculate it, they are similar to the slave army before Yin Li established the Feather Cutting Sect, although there are numbers, but their combat effectiveness is actually difficult to guarantee.
Maybe Lian Qin is right in saying that the existence of cultivators has made the resistance in this world much less, and it has become much more pale and powerless.
After all, cultivators don't go hungry and clothed, and most of them are doing well. They tend not to appear in the rebel army, but instead appear opposite them.
The biggest reason why civilian uprisings sometimes succeed is often that the imperial army is also corrupted. Or maybe the army of the imperial court rebelled together for many complicated reasons, otherwise how could the army formed spontaneously by the people be able to fight against the imperial court?
And this time, the imperial army in Qianlan is the army of the Moon Kingdom.
Their strength is now well preserved, and it is impossible for them to betray the Moon Kingdom and fall to the people of Qianlan.
Finally, this popular protest is unlikely to lead to a so-called uprising. Because the tragedy of Shuangzeji did not happen to them after all, they are now empathetic and indeed angry, but it will subside sooner or later, after all, the people still have to live.
This is different from those who were forced to resist because of the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes imposed by the imperial court, resulting in them not even being able to eat, having no way to live at all.
So, Ye Hong doesn't understand the meaning of some people doing this, what can they get?
There's no way they're going to drive the people of the Moon Country out of Qianlan because of this, right?
Lin Si smiled coldly: "Even if you can't get rid of us, it's enough to make Qianlan messy." That would at least hold us back, so that we would no longer be able to attack the grassland, southern Qi, Tianhe and other countries. ”
Ye Hong was shocked: "You mean, behind this matter, there are shadows of surrounding countries?"
"I can't say for sure now, but I can only say that the impact of this incident is what some people want to see. Judging the murderer is often based on who can benefit in the end. ”
In Lin Si's eyes, there are many possibilities for the murderer behind this tragedy.
It can be said that whether it is Qianlan's native people, or the surrounding Liunu Chongluo Grassland, Nanqi Zixing, and even Tianhe Shenyan Chilou and other countries, they may all be murderers, and even the three factions outside the heavens cannot get out of it.
Because they all want to see turmoil within the Moon Country, and now the result is in their favor. Counting up, the suspicion of the Qianlan people is slightly smaller.
As for Yueguo, he is actually a victim in this matter, isn't he? The situation in front of him, whether it is Lin Si, Tang Xiaozhi or Yue Luoning, they don't want to see it very much.
It's a pity that many people can't figure out what they can figure out. Even if they thought about it, they wouldn't believe it, because they had already decided that they had reached a conclusion, so how could it be so easy to overturn?
It wasn't until Ye Hong left that Tang Xiaozhi finally asked worriedly, "Can you really find the murderer?"
She may not know so much about others, but Lin Si knows it.
If he really had eyebrows, Lin Si would not be able to sit here safely.
"Don't worry, don't forget who we have to help. ”
"Who?"
"Shifanglou, they themselves are experts in doing this kind of thing, others may not find any clues in this matter, but they are different. ”
The murder case of Shuangzeji is confusing in the eyes of outsiders, leaving almost no useful clues.
Lin Si knew very well that the dozens of people who survived should have been deliberately left by the other party, in order to make them open their mouths to say the words 'the murderer was wearing the uniform of the Moon Kingdom'.
The ones who had the strength to do that thing must be the cultivators, because among the victims were more than ten local low-level monks, and even they couldn't escape, which showed the strength of those murderers.
It is indeed difficult for the government of the secular world to find the murderer, after all, those people may be thousands of miles away now, or even not in the territory of Qianlan at all.
But Shifanglou is different, they themselves are the best at secretly committing murders and covering up their deeds afterwards.
Compared to them, the murderer this time is probably just a layman at all.
"yes. Tang Xiaozhi's brows suddenly stretched, and she asked with a look of surprise: "Then Ruoruo will come this time? Is she still used to living there? I haven't seen her for a long time, I miss her so much." ”
When it came to Shifang Building, she immediately thought of Ruoruo.
Although there are many people around her, Ruoruo is the closest person to her in the past few years, and he also has an irreplaceable place in her heart.
Now that she left suddenly, and she hasn't appeared again for several months, Tang Xiaozhi always feels empty inside.
Lin Si scratched his chin in embarrassment, and said in his heart, how could that woman be unaccustomed to living in Shifang Building?
"She's at the Shifanglou headquarters, far from here. You also know how many things should be done every day for such a large assassin organization, and she is too busy to get out of it. ”
"It's all your fault, she's obviously about to get out of Shifang Building, and you still want her to fall into it again!" Her little face was full of unhappiness and annoyance, and she had been haunted by this matter.
Ruoruo's return to Shifanglou was hidden from her from the beginning, and Ruoruo didn't even say goodbye to her at that time. By now, she has become the person in charge of Shifang Building, and there is no chance to turn back.
Thinking of this, she once again beat Lin Silai angrily, Ruoruo was brought back to Shifang Building by this hateful guy!
It's strange that she broke away, letting her go back to Shifanglou is completely like a fish entering the water and birds entering the forest, she didn't have the slightest hesitation at that time, okay?
However, Lin Si only dared to slander this kind of thing in his heart, in front of Tang Xiaozhi, he would not say so.
After some fighting, Tang Xiaozhi became depressed again.
"So what are we going to do until you find the murderer? Now that there are protests in many places, I'm afraid more will happen. ”
Tang Xiaozhi is indeed smart, but in response to this sudden change, she still can't be as calm as Lin Si after all.
"Quite simply, continue to reassure the population. They besieged the lord's mansion and let the guards stand in the way. When they meditate, they let them sit, and when they go on hunger strike, they put what they eat beside them, whether they like it or not. And then it's just about continuing to explain publicly that it's not for us to do it, whether they believe it or not, whether they listen to it or not. ”
"Is that okay? what if they do something more radical?"
"The real people are very busy, don't worry. And that's the only thing we can do, and if we go against those people, we're only going to make it bigger. And this is precisely the second step of those people, provoking a conflict between us and the people of Qianlan. Once we really take action against the people, even if we find out the truth of the Shuangzeji murder case, it will be useless, and the incident will become irreparable at that time. ”
Tang Xiaozhi thought for a moment, and finally nodded thoughtfully: "Then we don't move now, in fact, we are deliberately making them anxious?"
"Yes, if they don't see what they expected, sooner or later they will be unable to hold back again. (To be continued.) )
