Ye Wuyou nodded, "That's true, but all the state pastors in the three states kept silent and didn't talk about the Jiang family, but the Jiang family didn't bribe heavily, and they didn't dare to speak out if they didn't gain anything."
"This shows what?"
"These state pastors are not afraid of benefits, but afraid of power."
"It also shows that the power of the Jiang family in the three states south of the Yangtze River is probably boundless."
Ye Wuyou thought to himself, "No wonder they are so confident and alarmed the emperor."
"Shall we go to the Prefectural Shepherd's Office?" Liu Wenying suggested, "You should gain something from asking him."
Ye Wuyou thought for a while and shook his head, "It's not necessary at the moment. I do this to alert Jiang Chang'an. We are going on a sightseeing tour now, so we can just take a look around first."
Liu Wenying said regretfully, "I still want to forge weapons now that I have black iron. It's so frustrating to just look at the good stuff and not be able to use it. What's more, there's bright moonlight that can sharpen the blade, so I'm even more anxious."
Ruchen comforted him and said, "Donor Liu still needs to calm down. If there is no good craftsman in the casting of weapons, even black iron will be wasted."
Seeing this, Ye Wuyou smiled and said, "If you are impatient, I have a way to forge a weapon, but you have to prepare your own materials, which requires a large amount of Luohai Pearls."
"Young Master Wuyou is involved in this?" Ruchen asked in surprise.
"The more you read, the more you will know," Ye Wuyou said confidently.
Bi Yan in his mind rolled his eyes angrily. Isn't this the weapon-making method he gave him in the first place?
After handing the Nanming Lihuo Formation Diagram to the two of them, Ye Wuyou took Ye Xueyan out of the post house.
"Brother Wuyou, don't we investigate the murder cases of those who died in the Jiang family?" Ye Xueyan said disappointedly
Ye Wuyou shook his head and regretted, "There is no way to trace it, and there is no reason to trace it. Do you still remember that pile of deeds of sale?"
"The laws of Zhou stipulate that as long as someone is sold into slavery, they have no choice but to die. They are all willing to die."
"Nothing can be found after checking. This is the case throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Jiang family did too much, but they did not violate the law..."
Hearing this, Ye Xueyan's face became even more ugly.
Ye Wuyou suddenly realized that he couldn't help but want to slap himself. The fate of these servants was almost the same as that of Ye Xueyan's parents. The only difference was that one of the murderers was Jian Tiansi and the other was from the Jiang family.
They are all the same, looking down on human life, but they are all equally impeccable.
"Brother Wuyou, as long as it's voluntary, do you have to die?" Ye Xueyan said in a seductive voice.
Ye Wuyou was silent for a moment, and then took out the long sword from his waist.
On the blade of the sword, two words shine brightly
"Dali?" Ye Xueyan looked at Ye Wuyou in confusion, "What's wrong, brother Wuyou?"
"This is the answer" Ye Wuyou said solemnly, "Today's Zhou Lv only has laws and no reason. These high-ranking people can always find reasonable reasons for people to do anything voluntarily."
"For example, Master Ye, such as these deceased servants"
"Can they not voluntarily? Today's Zhou Law allows those powerful people to do whatever they want. Under it, they have no right to say no,"
"I just want to give them the power to say no. That's why this sword is named Dali."
"The man who kills must pay for his life, that is the principle of the world."
"This is just one of them, and there is another reason, that is, people in the world don't have to do anything they don't want to do."
"This sword always reminds me not to forget what I want to do."
Ye Xueyan looked a little dazed, "Give the world the right to say no...?"
"Brother wants to change the rules?!" Ye Xueyan suddenly exclaimed
Ye Wuyou's scalp exploded and he quickly covered the little girl's mouth. He looked around with lingering fear and found that no one was paying attention here.
He glared at her angrily, "Can I talk about this? You want me to be the target of public criticism."
Ye Xueyan scratched her head in embarrassment: "Am I also temporarily excited?"
"But...Brother Wuyou, this matter...is no less than changing the world...even more difficult than rebellion..."
Ye Wuyou chuckled, "You see clearly, but it all depends on people. If you don't do it and I won't do it, who in the world will do it? The one who is waiting for Luo Jing to kill himself? It's just a dream."
"Don't worry. This matter is not difficult to say, nor is it easy to say. It's just that I'm missing an opportunity. Fortunately, my reputation is pretty good in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I don't dare to say that everything will be answered at once. But if I say that I want to disturb the laws of Zhou Dynasty, the world will definitely be interested. Large crowds responded.”
"So there is just a lack of opportunity...just an opportunity."
"Then...brother Wuyou, the Jiang family...will this be an opportunity?" Ye Xueyan asked softly
Ye Wuyou smiled and shook his head, "No, the Jiang family, at most, it's just a gong for Da Zhou, and the big head is behind."
"Then what should we do?" Ye Xueyan asked expectantly, "I also want to help brother Wuyou!"
"Hahaha, I can't live without you!" Ye Wuyou chuckled, "Now let's just wait and see what happens. Just wait for someone who can't sit still to come to your door. Those who come are our friends."
"Those who don't come to the door, even if they take the initiative to contact them, they will just sit back and watch."
"Come on, that rice cook is not here. Let's go eat something else. I get a headache every time I see her eating," Ye Wuyou sighed.
"Hahaha" Ye Xueyan pursed her lips and chuckled, "If Sister Wenying knew you said that, she would definitely not obey."
"That rice bucket..." Ye Wuyou's eyes darkened when he mentioned it. Fortunately, this was a work-related trip, so she didn't have to worry about starving her. Otherwise, with Liu Wenying's temperament, he would be deprived of him.
The two of them were strolling along the street. Ye Wuyou turned and frowned more and more.
Slowly, it stopped immediately
"What's wrong?" Ye Xueyan asked doubtfully
"Look at these shops, are there any that don't carry the Jiang Family brand?" Ye Wuyou said coldly.
Ye Xueyan thought about it and recalled this street, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
"No one?!"
"Yes, there is no one." Ye Wuyou said solemnly, "Let's go to another street and see again."
When we got to another street, the answer was still the same.
Ye Wuyou's face flashed with a hint of gloom.
I changed three streets in a row, and they were all like this. Without exception, they were all Jiang's shops.
The entire city of Jingzhou, from basic necessities to food, clothing, housing, and transportation, down to the traders and foot soldiers, is all controlled by the Jiang family.
Even the old man selling frames on the street has a small wooden sign from the Jiang family on his load.
Only then did Ye Wuyou understand how terrifying the Daojiang family was.
No wonder they were so confident, and no wonder Zhou Mu kept silent.
The whole of Jingzhou belongs to his Jiang family. I am afraid that the taxes of the entire three states in the south of the Yangtze River are also paid by his Jiang family.
It is equivalent to the Jiang family raising these three states, and incidentally raising Luo Jing...
As far as he knew, the tax revenue from the three states in the south of the Yangtze River had been increasing in recent years. Compared to the past, there are even several times more
And Luo Jing has never raised taxes on Jiangnan.
Ye Wuyou guessed that this might be the way that the three state governors wanted to attract the emperor's attention and let him decide whether Jiangnan like this was the Jiangnan he wanted to see.
Now it seems that this kind of Jiangnan is not the Jiangnan that Ji Zhengshuo wants.
