"They... are all our enemies." Chu Lanyi stared out the window as he said this, his eyes dark and without a trace of warmth.

Suddenly, among those people who were tied in a string and dragging themselves forward, an old man in his early sixties fell to the ground exhausted, immediately pulling several people in front and behind him to the ground with him.

The guards urged them to speed up, cracking their whips at them, cursing, "Don't play dead for me, get up and stop dawdling."

Yu Linlang suddenly pressed against the window and looked outside, then turned around and glared at Chu Lanyi, "Isn't that old man the wealthy country squire you invited to the banquet last night?"

"Ah."

The carriage stopped, and Chu Lanyi reached out to pull her out, but Yu Linlang rudely brushed her away.

Chu Lanyi had no choice but to get out of the car first, and then watched the little girl come out of the car with a cold face.

"You invited people over for dinner and fundraising yesterday, and today you threw them in jail?"

"Nannan, you don't know that Mr. Wang has 30 to 50 slaves at home, and none of them are as good as human beings." Chu Lanyi came close to her and whispered, "They beat several slaves to death every year. What can I do?"

"It's hard to offend the public. Even if he takes out all the money in the family, I can only protect his grandson under ten years old. Otherwise, I can't convince the public."

"What will my subordinates think? They will think that I... the heir to the throne of the Great Chu, even I don't stand on their side. Will life become even more unbearable? Don't you think so?"

"Nannan, look at these people, young and old, they seem to be in a very miserable state now. But you have no idea how evil they were in the past. They are all so hard-hearted that children of the same age would not hesitate to stick bamboo sticks into the eyes of the Chu Nu children."

Chu Lanyi grabbed her wrist and sighed, "Nannan, do you know how many Chu slaves living at the bottom of society are violated, murdered, and deprived of everything in those dark corners of Da Qi every day?"

"You don't know, the areas around Ancheng and Jinzhou in the capital treat us Chu slaves relatively well. On the surface, they are not so inhumane, but in places far away from the capital, especially in the Jiangnan area, the trafficking of Chu slaves is prevalent, and beating and killing them every few days is a common occurrence."

"So do we, the descendants of the Chu State, really deserve to die?" He pulled her back and stared into her eyes, trying to read something from those clear and sparkling pupils.

Yu Linlang was about to walk quickly into the store when he suddenly pulled her back. She stepped back a few steps and met his gaze. She didn't know what to say for a moment.

They say revenge will never end, but in reality... there is really no way to deal with deep hatred. If you are not the person involved, you really cannot experience the pain firsthand.

Unless you are stabbed by a knife, how can you understand the difficulties of others?

Yu Linlang understood, she understood everything, but... if they tortured each other like this, when would the suffering of ordinary people end?

She could almost predict what the Chu people would do after they came to power.

Wouldn't they suppress the Qi people in the same way that the Qi people suppressed the Chu people? So who else would suffer from the attacks except the poor people at the bottom?

Blame it all on the dog emperor's narrow-mindedness! If this could be achieved at the beginning of the founding of the country, at least on the surface, and the common people were able to live a good life, who would want to rebel?

They even wrote the legality of buying, selling and killing Chu slaves into the laws of Da Qi. This is simply!
sorrow!

Chu Lanyi looked at her expression, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "Nannan, you can understand me, right?"

He knew, he knew that his daughter was the most sensible and understanding, and she would definitely understand his difficulties.

"I don't want to get involved in your business." Yu Linlang pulled her hand back unhappily, turned around and went to the Pingjiang Mansion Restaurant.

"Okay, okay, you don't need to worry about these trivial matters." Chu Lanyi raised his hands behind his back and made a gesture. Two secret guards immediately stepped forward and whispered a few words to the guards who drove away Wang Yuanwai's family.

The guard saluted respectfully, grabbed the crying old man Wang from the ground with a fierce look on his face, and cursed in a low voice, "Hurry up and leave, don't stay here to bother the noble man." The Wang family was escorted away crying miserably. The ropes pulled at each other, and they walked crookedly and in an awkward manner.

In front of the restaurant, the shopkeeper and a group of servants rushed up to greet Chu Lanyi enthusiastically.

The two guards stretched out their hands to separate them, and said calmly, "The master doesn't like too much noise, so arrange a clean and quiet private seat and bring up all your signs."

"Yes, yes, everything is ready. Please, please, please." The restaurant owner smiled and invited them in, and escorted them to the private room on the second floor.

I didn't notice it before, but looking down from the second floor of this restaurant, I see a soup kitchen right opposite.

Yu Linlang saw Yelu Xin standing in front of several porridge buckets with a smile on his face, nodding slightly to the victims who were passing by.

Some of the victims still held steamed buns in their hands and thanked Yelu Xin with gratitude on their faces.

Yu Linlang looked at him for a long time with a dim gaze before she looked away.

"The prairie princess is quite kind."

"It's all just a face-saving effort, and everyone knows it. Who in this world can be like our daughter, giving acupuncture and medicine, distributing food to the whole city of Weizhou without caring about any gains or losses?"

Yu Linlang thought about it and nodded, "I am such a good person."

The shopkeeper knocked on the door and came in. He just happened to hear this and immediately put on a smile and asked the waiters to bring in the dishes.

Yu Linlang returned to the table and just as she sat down, she could smell a faint fragrance breeze passing by the corridor.

The crisp sound of jingling footbells followed.

The shopkeeper's face changed, and he ran out and scolded, "Who is so bold? Didn't I say that this floor has been reserved by His Highness?"

There were a few mumblings coming from outside the door, and then the shopkeeper, with an embarrassed look on his face, moved in hesitantly and called out hesitantly, "Your Highness."

The guard raised his eyes, his eyes full of brilliance, "Why disturb you? Leave immediately after serving the dishes."

"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper hesitated, looked up at Chu Lanyi, then glanced at the guard, seeming to be hesitating to leave.

"Just say whatever you want to say." Chu Lanyi is most annoyed by this kind of scheming.

He had made an appointment to dine here in advance and had arranged everything in advance, but someone still came up to harass him. We can only say that this person was let in on purpose by the shopkeeper.

Who do you think you are, acting like a fool?

A Chu guard stared at him, and the shopkeeper shrank his neck and quickly replied honestly, "Your Highness, it's Lord Wang, the salt transport envoy of Jiangnan Road, who wants to see you."

Yu Linlang paused with her chopsticks.

Chu Lanyi seemed to be unaware of it, and picked up a piece of food she liked with a chopstick, and said lightly, "Since you are here, come in and talk."

The shopkeeper hurried out.

Soon, a little old man with a wretched and ugly appearance came in with a licking face and a smile. (End of this chapter)
