"Well, with the younger brother here, it seems that the border city is as stable as Mount Tai. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Lin Qingyu is very happy, his younger brother can become so reliable and powerful, and it is also an honor to be an older sister.
"Now that Qinglan's side is stable, we can also let go and do something. Well, Qingyu, tomorrow, let's go kill Abate. β
"Huh, so fast, won't it make the other nobles bounce?"
"Don't worry, I'm killing two birds with one stone. β
A day later.
The tavern in White Rock City spread a gossip news that became the focus of attention in almost the entire city.
It is reported that the notoriously "profitable" lord Viscount Abate got into big trouble.
It is said that Tony Abate, the eldest son of Baron Abate, came across a beautiful woman like an elf in the woods while visiting the countryside.
Well, the habits of the aristocracy, everyone is clear. is the so-called "full of warm thoughts", and as a particularly profitable Baron Abate, he can be regarded as the richest of the barons, rich...... The richer you are, the more you think. That's normal, isn't it?
But although the beautiful woman was dressed plainly, she was actually a professional, and she beat the young master Tony Abate, including two entourages, who wanted to do misdeeds.
Then, Master Tony was naturally not convinced, and invited his father's private soldiers to arrest him.
Now things are going to get bigger, and it turns out that the beautiful woman is actually a follower of the new city lord.
Or a priest hero.
Now the matter is big, the city lord immediately sent someone to check Lord Abate, as a nobleman, no one's ass is clean, and all kinds of black history of corruption or murder have been found out. In particular, a crime of mutilating the lives of hundreds of miners is even more well-founded, and there is no room for justification, and finally under the divine judgment, Viscount Abate was sentenced to imprisonment, of course, whether he can come out of the city lord's mansion alive is another matter.
The new official took office with three fires, although the other nobles also had a sense of sadness, but no one wanted to fight against a new city lord when he had just taken office, especially during the war. A nobleman who offended the new official and the city lord was naturally not willing to protect it by other nobles, not to mention that the business of the lord of Abate was so extensive, and without one Abate, everyone would only have more means to make money.
So, while the other nobles stood by and watched, Abate's entire family was copied. The four Crusader swordsmen, who had been hired as honored guests, as well as the priests who had befriended Abate, and even His Excellency the Grand Knight, who was said to have accepted Abate's offerings, all said, "Abbot has violated the law of the land, not because we do not protect him, but because we respect the laws of His Majesty the King more."
So, in this way, the Abarth family, which had been prominent for decades, became a cloud of history, and the huge Abarth family property also became the private property of the new city owner. The generous New City Lord even took out a portion of it to continue hiring all the soldiers who had previously served Abate. And some of the business channels that Abate once controlled were naturally given to other nobles by the wise city lord.
In one day, the former smash hit Viscount Abate disappeared like this.
Everyone was happy.
In the prison of White Rock City.
After waving all the attendants and guards back, Yun Xiao held the skull crown in one hand and cut off Abate's head with the other.
After doing all this, Yun Xiao was obviously a little excited, and he didn't even listen carefully to the system sound in his ears, so he handed the skull crown to Lin Qingyu beside him, and walked out of this dark and depressing place.
"Side quest completed. The special artifact Skull Crown is purified, and you receive a special artifact, the Ghost Hair Ornament.
Ghost Hair Accessory: A special treasure with no level restrictions. 'The ghostly hair ornament, fused with the power of hundreds of wraiths, was originally a cursed thing full of resentment, but because of your kindness their souls have been redeemed, these grateful souls have protected your soul from the forces of evil. ββ
The skull crown gradually changed shape to the sound of the system, from a dark gold skull to a simple headdress with rubies.
Feeling Yun Xiao's low voice, Lin Qingyu silently withdrew the "ghost hair ornament" that had become the task reward, and walked out with Yun Xiao.
The scenery under the moon in Shiraishi Castle is very elegant, and the reason why it is named after Shiraishi is because the rocks here are all white in color.
It is said that this is the dressing table of the ancient goddess of the earth, and you can imagine the beauty of this place.
Yun Xiao stood on a hill behind the City Lord's Mansion and sighed softly: "Actually, my methods today are not very glorious. β
Lin Qingyu didn't answer, and after thinking for a while, he asked softly: "Senior brother, why don't you just announce his crime? Deal with him with national law......? I'm going to put on a show?"
"Crime?National Law?" Yun Xiao sneered: "In the eyes of the nobles, what kind of crime is it to kill a few miners? If I try Abate for mutilating the miners, then what do you think the other nobles here will do?"
"They...... What will happen? Will it cover him up?"
"Absolutely. The aristocracy can tolerate me for personal vendettas, but it is impossible for me to really 'serve the people', and if I do so, I will be cut off from the ranks of the nobility. β
"But when we tried Abate today, those nobles didn't say anything?"
"That's because everyone knows that it was Abate's son who offended you and offended the beautiful followers around me......" Yun Xiao glanced at Lin Qingyu, Lin Qingyu under the moonlight was even more charming, and she really deserved the "stunning beauty" in the mouths of those civilians.
"I ...... I don't know much about ......" Lin Qingyu was a little confused: "Why can you kill him if you offend me, but you can't kill the miners? In the end, didn't we try Abate for the crime of mutilating the miners? In fact, the so-called offending me was also deliberately induced by us...... I didn't suffer anything at all. β
"yes...... That's why I feel very uncomfortable......" Yun Xiao sighed: "If I directly kill Abate in the name of mutilating the miners, then the nobles of the entire White Rock City will oppose it." Because if I did, I would be completely on the side of the civilians. For the aristocracy, that was the most terrible thing, because ......"
Speaking of this, Yun Xiao didn't continue, but just sighed again.
"Because...... Those nobles are also ...... Did you do something like that?" Lin Qingyu trembled slightly: "So if we judge Abate on the grounds of mutilating civilians, those nobles will oppose it......?" And if his son had molested me before, then the other nobles would have thought ...... Think you're here to vent your anger on me, brother?"
Yun Xiao nodded.
Lin Qingyu's eyes widened, and he said abruptly: "Could it be that in the eyes of those nobles, hundreds of lives are not guilty, and offending me is the real crime?"
Because for nobles, hundreds of lives are not as important as a beautiful woman next to the city lord being molested. Yun Xiao sneered: "Don't say hundreds, even if Abate kills more civilians, it is not worth killing in the hearts of the nobles." And offending the beauties around the city lord is the real way to die. β
"If I avenge the miners who died today, then the nobles of the entire White Rock City will come against me. But if I use the matter of the dead miners as a cover to vent my anger for the beauties around me, then all the nobles will think that this is normal. β
"Because...... This is the aristocracy. β
"No matter what world you are in, the only one who can condemn the higher, judge the higher, and investigate the superior can only be the higher. And it was never the people at the bottom...... Therefore, the people can only look forward to having the 'Blue Sky Lord' and the 'Holy Lord Mingjun'......"
Yun Xiao said this, his expression was very low: "No matter which world...... That's how it is......"
"Senior Brother......" felt Yun Xiao's low voice, looking at Yun Xiao's cold and frosty expression, Lin Qingyu couldn't help but feel distressed, walked to Yun Xiao's side, and held Yun Xiao's cold hand: "It should be ...... I think it will, there will be...... Even if there is no now, there should be in the future, as long as it is ...... As long as there are people like you, senior brother. β
"yes, there were...... There used to be ......" Yun Xiao sighed lightly, and his voice was a little colder: "There was once a very great man who used his god-like prestige to establish such a time for ten years. He could have been the greatest emperor of all, but with all his prestige and power, he tried a change that had never been seen before in the worldβ"
"It was a time when the people at the bottom were qualified to investigate and judge the elites, and it was only ten years in the thousands of years of civilization in my hometown. β
"That'...... What about the last?" Lin Qingyu couldn't help but ask, but Lin Qingyu's voice was trembling, and she felt that it was definitely not a good thing.
But he failed, and he failed. The country is in a mess because of this...... Yun Xiao sighed: "That great man has given all his prestige for the ten years when 'the people are the masters of the country'. However, in the end, it still failed. Because those low-level people who have never received this kind of power for thousands of years do not understand the preciousness of this power after all, and they do not know how to use this power at all, and this power is still used by those upper classes to intrigue with each other for power and profit. Those at the top, who are afraid of being judged, will naturally not sit idly by, and they will use all means to stop this 'terrible' attempt. They use all kinds of means, whether it is smearing, guiding the bottom, confusing right and wrong, or reversing black and white, they have made all kinds of means to prevent the success and recurrence of this kind of thing. β
"Finally......" Yun Xiao looked at the sky and said leisurely, "Those ten years are called the most chaotic, darkest and most evil decade...... Although those ten years have never been seen from ancient times to the present, it was a decade for the people at the bottom to have the power to investigate and judge the upper classes...... But in fact, the only conclusion that came to the end of those ten years of attempts was 'never let ignorant civilians gain power, or the country will be a mess by them'......"
And even more sadly, this is actually the truth...... Because ordinary people only think for their own benefit, you can't expect them to be selfless or intelligent people. There is only one out of ten people who are really willing to give up their own interests for the sake of the country. The power of trial and investigation will only be used by civilians who are usually 'kind' to retaliate against the capital that purge dissidents or climb up......"
"Senior brother......" Lin Qingyu felt the deep sadness in Yun Xiao's heart and the frosty coldness in his palm, and could only use his little hands to try to warm up.
"Senior brother, it's not like this......" Lin Qingyu tried hard to comfort Yun Xiao, Yun Xiao's appearance made her very sad and sad, she felt that she had to do something.
"I want to ...... I...... I ......" Lin Qingyu racked his brains and formed words in his mind: "I think, this, this is already very good......"
"Hehe......" Yun Xiao didn't answer, he could feel Lin Qingyu's mood, although Lin Qingyu didn't say anything to comfort him, but Lin Qingyu's actions made Yun Xiao's heart very warm.
"I, I am, I mean it!" Lin Qingyu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Senior brother, think about it, your world, it's only been a few thousand years, right?
"Huh?"
"Our world has a history of hundreds of thousands of years! But there has never been such a person, no such thing. Lin Qingyu's mind turned faster and faster, and he no longer stammered, but said in a very cheerful tone: "Senior brother, think about it, since there is such a person who has tried, even if he fails, he at least let the world know that there was such a time!"
"But it failed...... Yun Xiao shook his head bitterly: "No one would want to have another revolution like that...... No one wants that kind of chaos again, even ...... Even me, who has always been a supporter of that great man. β
"Failure is nothing, any change will fail! However, people will always sum up experience from failure and use it to forge the next success!" Lin Qingyu said faster and faster: "Senior brother, you also said just now, the reason for failure is because the common people do not understand the preciousness of this power, and they also lack the wisdom to use this power, so if one day, all the common people have such wisdom and understand the preciousness of this power?"
Yun Xiao's eyes lit up.
"It's like we use a technique, when I first used this trick to 'purify sentient beings', I always couldn't figure out the trick and failed many times, because after all, it was a Buddhist exercise, which was completely different from what I had learned before. But slowly, after many failures, I finally figured out the trick and finally learned this trick, and I think that the era of 'letting the people at the bottom have the power and qualifications to judge and investigate the upper class' also needs to be slow. β
"Well, although I have failed once, but, at least that means that in your hometown, senior brother, someone has tried this. It's like you've taught me that 'zero' and 'one' are completely different things. Although 'one' is still very small, it is not 'zero' after all. β
Yun Xiao looked at Lin Qingyu dumbfounded, stupid.
"Forehead......" Lin Qingyu was a little shy under Yun Xiao's gaze: "Teacher, senior brother, why are you looking at me like this......"
"Rain ......"
"Huh?"
"I want to ...... If I were to bring psychology into the world, would you...... Maybe I'm already ready to go out......"
"What?"
"Nothing...... Hehe......" Yun smiled and smiled, he exhaled a long breath, and then suddenly with a force in his hand, he pulled Lin Qingyu closer, and hugged the girl in his arms with both hands.
Yun Xiao closed his eyes and embroidered the elegant fragrance: "Qingyu...... It's nice to have you here......"

This chapter writes something out of place, but when it's written, it's written......
Now that I've written something inappropriate, let's go into a few more words.
Maybe some readers are not used to it, but the love in my heart is never a vigorous parting of life and death, but a plain and insipid.
The love in my heart is not that handsome men and beautiful women are romantic like flowers, but that nagging old women and old men are still fighting with each other when they are full of hair, but when they are fighting, they can't forget to scratch each other's backs and tickle each other.
The love in my heart is not that the hero saves the beauty and lives and dies, but that he quarrels with his wife and swears to run away from home, but he goes around home an hour or two later, and he goes to the supermarket to buy a bottle of vinegar.
What is love? I think......
Habit is love.
Plain is true.
