In fact, when one has reached Feng Buxing's level of cultivation, even martial arts practitioners can already practice fasting at will, using the essence of spiritual energy between heaven and earth as food to replenish their true energy, without the need for human fireworks.
It's just that the five spices and five flavors are a desire that has long been poured into the depths of the humanoid god. If there is good wine and food, Feng Buhang will naturally not refuse it.
Su Che's Changxin Hou Mansion is just a grass-top team that has just been put on the shelves. It is naturally unable to find good wine and food, but it is just making do, which is reasonable.
Feng Buxing was a big Diao Jie who was used to fine clothes and fine food. He had tasted all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, dragon liver and phoenix marrow, bear paws and orangutan lips. He didn't care that Su Che didn't have good wine or good food here.
Being able to drag Daliang's Chang Xinhou and Huang Tiandao's Tian Xingxing to his home for a drink is enough as a favor.
After a few glasses of wine, Suche started talking.
"Back then in Shanyin County, if Mr. Feng hadn't taken care of me, I might not be where I am today."
"What are you talking about, Third Young Master? You are always auspicious. You have your own destiny. The majestic Liuhe Canglong is in your destiny. That is the dragon traveling in the nine heavens. How could you capsize in a small pond?"
Feng Buxing had a drink with Suche.
"But Third Young Master, are you really prepared to get to the bottom of Princess Ning'an's case?"
"I'll check it out."
Suche laughed and said, "I don't want to hide it from my father-in-law. I didn't take this seriously at all."
"But Princess Ning'an's lightning-strike wood..."
"Who knows if it's true or not. She said someone put it next to her pillow. Who would be so bored to put something like this? Maybe it's something our princess would hold and sleep with at night."
Naturally, Suche knew that this thing was put there in vain, just to trick him. But naturally these words cannot be explained to Feng Buxing.
It doesn't sound good if it is spread out.
After all, there really is an immortal sword cultivator from the East China Sea who is so boring.
"I can also see that His Majesty's promotion of such a person is actually vaguely antagonizing us. In life, it is always like this to make trouble over nothing, which is very boring."
Suche stood up and gave Feng Buhang another drink.
"What about the Yushitai?"
"Let them investigate. I'll tell you everything here. Do you know who the Sun Xinggong I saw is?"
"who is it?"
"Wang Jian's wife."
"She? She belongs to the Xie family of Chen County..."
"It was a monster with magical powers. It was very weird. I slashed at it with my sword and peeled off a layer of human skin. It turned into a monster that was neither a dragon nor a snake. It slipped away at that time."
"Third Young Master will not tell Princess Ning'an that this section is correct."
Feng Buxing sighed. Although the Jiankang clan headed by the Wang and Xie families was not as good as before, they still had a profound background. If they were involved, even simple things would become complicated and difficult to handle.
"That woman."
Su Che said slowly: "There is a maid beside her, and her real body is Tou Zhuyan."
"Ancient alien species?"
Feng Buxing opened his eyes wide: "Tiqi is here..."
"If I hadn't personally learned about it in Cizhou, I wouldn't know. But the Xie family obviously knows it. This woman is not familiar with the big merchants on the East China Sea. With the name of Raksha Hai, has Eunuch Feng ever known her? heard about it."
"One of the six largest companies in the East China Sea. It calls itself Born in the Rakshasa Sea. It has many kinds of natural materials and treasures under its hands. Every year, countless treasures are trafficked to our Middle-earth. Is it a business, hum? Have you been smuggling people to the East China Sea in the past two years?"
"Human trafficking?"
"Exactly, maritime merchants in the East China Sea purchase a large number of people every year. Led by the Rakshasa Sea, they smuggle at least 100,000 people from various ports every year."
"The imperial court did nothing?"
This time, Suche was a little surprised.
The East China Sea is a resort for practitioners. The reason for this pattern is that the various outputs of the East China Sea are far higher than those in the Middle Earth.
Even the area,
The East China Sea is several times the size of Middle Earth.
That place actually needs to recruit people from Central China? This couldn't help but remind Suche of a past incident. Third Young Master Su once saw the Chang family's fleet from Licheng heading to the East China Sea. At that time, he said that he wanted to send his disciples to the East China Sea Sword Palace.
During the internal fighting at home, Suche also saw a set of account books, which seemed to contain all the fish caught sold to the East China Sea.
Selling fish to the East China Sea was similar to selling sand in the desert. Suche only thought it was a code word used in the account.
Now that I think about it, I am afraid that the Chang family in Licheng is a master of human trafficking to the East China Sea.
Human beings were collected in China and sold to the East China Sea Trading Company headed by Raksha Hai to make huge profits.
But why do we need so many people in the East China Sea?
"What action can be taken? What they are buying and selling are not good men who can be reorganized into households, but slaves and maidservants of local wealthy families. They are all untouchables. Since the collapse of the world, how can these slaves be promoted to good citizens? It was all a great chaos caused by the change of dynasties.”
Feng Buxing sighed quietly: "What's more, among the courtiers, who dares to go against such a merchant who has so many immortals in his sect? Even if there are a few stubborn ministers who are public-minded, they will be caught by their colleagues. It must be Let them be ruined, so that they can be used as tribute to the Rakshasa Sea."
After hearing this verse, Suche could only sigh.
Daliang has deep-rooted problems, not only in Daliang, but also in the pattern of powerful clans occupying the imperial court and dividing the power among the local areas. The so-called change of dynasties only resulted in the replacement of an unlucky emperor, and the real underlying things did not change at all.
After tearing it down and starting over again, the previous one has been torn down, but the later reconstruction is no different from the previous one.
"The country's affairs are difficult."
"It's actually the same in the north."
Feng Buxing said with relief: "In addition to selling people to the East China Sea every year in the north, they are sold by the imperial court themselves. And there are also a large number of refugees running to the north and west."
"north?"
Suche couldn't understand.
It is still feasible to run to the west, because there is also a vast wasteland between the Middle Earth and the Western Kingdom. It is a chaotic area where demons and mortals live together. Most of them are small city-states that respect Buddhism.
Although the days are difficult, they are not unbearable. Further north from the Northern Dynasty... that is the Northern Wasteland where the Demon Sect is located.
The south and the north have been able to face each other for such a long time. It's really like a sleeping dragon and a phoenix.
Suche felt powerless for a moment.
Today's Daliang court can indeed issue a decree announcing that from now on there will be no more slaves and maidservants, and everyone will be unified into households.
This is only a formal change and is not enough to shake the deeper relationships.
Why are some people reduced to slaves?
There are so many reasons.
The imperial court and local officials were exploiting the people to such an extent that the people could no longer survive, so they took refuge in the names of the powerful and had more breathing space.
Monsters and ghosts are causing trouble in the local area. Many villages are extinct if they encounter monsters. The local government is unable to control them, so the whole family seeks refuge with some strong men who possess military force for protection.
The reason why powerful people become powerful is that they either have an advantage in production tools, or there are many strong people in the clan. In local games, such as fields and water sources, the weak always need a strong person to fight for them. Over time, they can only rely on the powerful. On the body.
Su Che glanced at the wine table. Among the people present, Lu Bai and Zhu Yi were almost his own, while Feng Buhang was Lao Su's.
The entire Middle-earth is operating under this logic.
The sense of oppression brought by this moral law made Su Che slowly exhale.
Maybe many of the principles in my previous life simply don’t hold true in this world. In other words, if you want to establish it, you need to do more things yourself.
And these are not what I should be thinking about now.
There are more important things.
