Do you know: I am the crown prince

Chapter 391 Cynicism
Zhao Xing waved his hand, looked at Ruyu and said, "I can hear a lot of resentment in your tone. You said you were forced by me, but you should have joined the Wizarding Church for quite some time, right? What does it have to do with me?"

"My father was originally a commoner in Dengzhou, and his family was relatively well-off. But because an official's son took a fancy to my mother, he kidnapped her on the street. My father went to the government office to file a complaint, but was beaten half to death and died of depression. If it weren't for this great change, how could I have ended up like this? I just want revenge!" Ruyu said madly.

Zhao Xing frowned slightly when he heard this: "What's the name of the official you're talking about?"

"Don't be so hypocritical. When Dengzhou was hit by a drought, that official embezzled the grain, and my adoptive father started a rebellion. After the imperial court put down the rebellion, they only sentenced that man to exile, and he has died in exile."

Ruyu's eyes were filled with resentment, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Foster father is right, all crows are black, the Song Dynasty has been rotten from top to bottom, only by changing the sun and the moon can we drive away the darkness."

"What a joke!"

Zhao Xing said coldly: "You keep saying that the Song Dynasty is rotten from top to bottom and needs to be changed. It sounds high-sounding, but it is bullshit. How many people died because of your rebellion? Just for your own selfishness, so many innocent people died tragically and their families were destroyed. You are unfortunate, but aren't those people innocent too?"

Zhao Xing admitted that there were many corrupt officials and many injustices in the world.

There were even big problems in dealing with civil servants before.

But this is definitely not a reason to incite the people to rebel.

If you really want to rebel, that's fine.

The Wizard Cult has no power to rebel, but just keeps on causing rebellions, hoping to drain people's hearts through this method.

But do those people deserve to die?
And Ruyu also said that all crows are black. Does she think that this is the way the world is just because she has suffered injustice?

"There's always death in every change of dynasties. As long as the world can be peaceful again, their deaths are worth it! Your Majesty enjoys wealth and glory, but have you ever thought about me, a girl who was only a few years old at that time. My parents are both dead and all the family property has been taken away by our elders. Shouldn't I hate them?" Ruyu said with a grim face.

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you!"

Zhao Xing shook his head. He could see that this woman had been brainwashed. No matter what the wizard taught her to do, it was right in her eyes.

He was also angry about Ruyu's experience, but this was not a reason for her to instigate a rebellion.

There must be something hateful about pitiful people, nothing more than this.

"There is no point in arguing with me about this. Tell me, who is the leader of the Wizard Cult? Where is he now? Who are the leaders of the Wizard Cult?"

"I don't know where the leader is. As for the leaders of the wizard cult, there are so many that even a saint like me doesn't know them all."

Ruyu laughed and said, "Many landlords and gentry in various parts of the world are members of the Wizard Cult. If you want to wipe out the Wizard Cult, just kill all the landlords and gentry in the world, and it will be wiped out naturally."

"Are you kidding me?" Zhao Xing said coldly.

Not to mention that it is impossible for all landlords and gentry in the world to join the wizarding cult.

It would be impossible even if all the landlords and gentry in the world were killed.

"How dare I!" Ruyu said with a smile, "I have told you everything your majesty wants to know, but your majesty doesn't believe me. This really makes it difficult for me."

"The Saint should have a very high status in the Wizarding Cult, right?" Zhao Xing suddenly said.

Ruyu was stunned when she heard this, but didn't say anything.

Zhao Xing didn't care, he smiled and said, "The leader of the Wizard Cult should be in Jiangzhou, right?"

A flash of panic flashed across Ruyu's eyes, and she sneered, "You dog emperor, I've already told you, I don't know where the leader is."

Zhao Xing's smile deepened as he said, "From what you said before, you are very indifferent to human life. But when you learned that the court was mobilizing troops to reinforce Jiangzhou, you hurried to Moxiangzhai. Is it because the leader of the Wizard Cult is in Jiangzhou?"

"You dog emperor, don't try to trick me!" Ruyu yelled. "You are a woman after all, so why are you so anxious? Your behavior confirms my guess. It won't be long before you and your clothes meet in prison." Zhao Xing smiled.

"Wait until you catch the person." Ruyu said disdainfully.

"Take her away." Zhao Xing waved his hand.

After hearing these words, Yin Hanzhang and Ruyu were both stunned.

"You're not asking anymore?" Ruyu exclaimed.

"You have only joined the Wizarding Cult for about ten years, and the Wizarding Cult has existed for a hundred years. You don't know much about the Wizarding Cult, and there is no point in asking you." Zhao Xing shook his head.

Ruyu came here this time, more like to scold him and vent her resentment.

The saint sounds like she has a very high status, but judging from her presence in Bian Jing and the smooth process of arresting people, it can be seen that she is not that important.

The Wizarding Cult has existed for so many years and has been hidden for so long, how could it not have secretly trained some assassins?

Zhao Xing ignored Ruyu and looked at Yin Hanzhang and said, "Don't make things difficult for her. Ask her what she said and find out if the official who harmed her parents has any descendants. If there are any who have committed crimes, punish them accordingly. If not, forget it."

"You dog emperor, don't think I will fall for your trick if you do this." Ruyu cursed.

"You can think whatever you want."

Zhao Xing shook his head and said, "I really don't intend to ask you anything. You may not know. I am just very curious. The rebellion you launched in Jiangzhou this time is different from the past. What is your purpose? Now that it has come to this, it seems okay to talk about it, right?"

"It doesn't hurt to tell you!"

Ruyu sneered when he heard this, "The states near Jiangzhou are relatively wealthy. If there is a flood and then a rebellion, not only will they be unable to provide tax revenue to the court in a short period of time, but they will also need money and grain to provide disaster relief, quell the rebellion and resettle the people.

The cost of building the Great Wall in the north is huge. The court cannot afford it and will inevitably increase taxes on the people. "

"The court will lose more and more support from the people this way, right?" Zhao Xing said suddenly.

"That's right, what can you do about it? The court is short of money and food, so it can only increase taxes." Ruyu sneered.

"I think it may not be that simple. Another reason is to check the land. In the past, they could ask those officials for help, but I have dealt with many officials and no one dares to help them. They can only ask you for help.

This is a great opportunity for you to win people's hearts." Zhao Xing said calmly.

"The dog emperor has a lot of thoughts in his mind. We are not as dirty as you think." Ruyu said disdainfully.

"No?" Zhao Xing smiled and said, "I'm afraid you don't know?"

"Don't try to provoke me. I won't be fooled." Ruyu said.

Zhao Xing waved his hand and said, "Come here, take her away."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers outside the hall came in and escorted Ruyu out of the hall.

"You should do as I said before, but you can talk to her more often. Don't ask about sensitive things. Ask more about harmless details. Once she talks too much, she won't be able to hide the truth." Zhao Xing said.
