Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

The bosses were arrested and the chambers of commerce were raided, so naturally they lost their jobs.

The comfortable days that had just improved for less than a month were gone again.

Almost immediately, cries of groaning were heard everywhere in Xumi City.

However, Hazard no longer cares.

Although these people praised him before, it made him feel very comfortable.

But compared to the 'greater good', the praise of ordinary people is worthless.

He didn't care about civilians in the first place. Now that he "controls" the floating city, why would he be afraid of these lower-class people rebelling?

Therefore, the voices of the lower classes are not worth mentioning.

But, the things he doesn't care about are treasures to others.

"why why?"

Nashida curled up in the Tree King's meditation room, tears welling up in her eyes.

Through Catherine's eyes, she could see everything that happened in Xumi City today.

The cries of merchants, the harsh scolding of the thirty-man group, the broken goods scattered on the ground, the sobs of children, the bewildered murmurs of laborers...

"Obviously...it shouldn't be like this..."

She murmured softly, her fingertips unconsciously clenching the corner of her clothes.

Tears rolled down her emerald eyes and dripped into the cold Tree King's meditation room.

Although Wang Que had already warned her that all this would happen,

But seeing the confusion and sadness of the lower class people after Azar gave the order, Nashida was still heartbroken.

It shouldn't be like this.

Even if Hazard is fighting against Wang Que, he needs many ways to attack Wang Que.

But as long as they relax a little, these people at the bottom of society can live happily.

She once thought that communication could heal all wounds, but the cruel reality shattered her ideals.

Hazard's order was like a snowstorm, instantly freezing the budding hope.

The fleeting smiles of the merchants and the bustling hustle and bustle of the market are now replaced by dead silence.

At this moment, Wang Que's voice rang out in her mind again, with an undeniable sharpness:

“The weapon of criticism cannot replace the criticism of weapons.”

"If you want change, there will be no bloodshed and no sacrifice!"

"Nashida, you need to make a decision!"

Nashida trembled and covered her chest, feeling a palpitation in her heart.

"Maybe... Wang Que is right."

"Teacher...?"

This thought grew like a thorn.

For the first time, she felt that her "kindness" was so pale - what was the love of God if he didn't even have the ability to protect his people?

Can the people endure hardship?

Wang Que's words echoed in his mind, and the confused lower-class people in Xumi City emerged in his mind.

The scenes overlap.

"I have to... make a decision."

……

The House of Wisdom, the Office of the Great Sage.

"What? The merchant from Liyue escaped?"

"Are you all useless? You let people escape like this?"

Azar was very angry when he heard the report from the thirty-man group that they had not captured the Liyue merchant.

However, he quickly calmed down: "Forget it, it doesn't matter. We already control the floating city anyway. They are just a few ants. Let them escape."

"Hahahaha, that damn Wang Que must still be in shock right now."

The thought of Wang Que’s frightened and panicked expression because the floating city was out of control made me feel a bit daunted.

Hazard couldn't help laughing.

It’s so inspiring.

Facing Wang Que's previous threat, he had been holding back too much anger, and it all came out now.

When you feel so happy, you naturally won't care about the minor problems of the 30-person group.

As for why the Liyue merchant was able to escape, he did not delve into it.

"Go and make some arrangements. In two days, the floating city will be above Xumi City."

"I will declare in front of everyone that that damned Wang Que is guilty of war crimes."

"I will also severely condemn Liyue. Their merchants have killed so many tribal leaders in our desert!"

"This is a heinous crime. They need to answer for it and pay compensation. Huge compensation!"

"Humph, if they don't lower the price of the elemental materials, this matter will not be over!"

"I'm going to spread the word about this. The Liyue people are killing people in the desert."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Thinking back to the past month, Liyue had raised the prices of elemental materials and taken away wealth from the Academy of Teachings.

Even Hazard, who doesn't care about money, felt a little distressed.

The Ministry of Education is rich, but it can't afford to be exploited by Liyue.

Chapter 364 You who don’t have gods, why do you challenge me?

On the same day,

The House of Lords notified the entire Xumi City that the great sage Azar was going to announce a big news at the Tianbi Pool Pier.

Although I don't know why it was announced at Tianbi Pond,

But after the news spread, it did attract a lot of people's attention.

Whether you like Hazard or hate Hazard.

Everyone has to admit that as a great sage, Azar has a huge influence on Xumi.

If he wants to announce something and you don't listen, you might fall behind everyone else and end up losing something.

...

This day.

Countless colorful flags are reflected on the water surface of Tianbi Pond Pier.

The people from the House of Ordinances used wind slime balloons to hang a gilded banner with the words "Sumeru's Judgment of Justice" written in gold-plated fonts on it.

It's really confusing.

The makeshift platform was covered with an indigo carpet, a symbol of wisdom. Thirty-man regiments of soldiers stood on both sides, their armor shining brightly, the tips of their spears gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

It seems particularly solemn.

The crowd came like a tide, everyone was talking about the actions of the House of Representatives. Of course, some people were cursing, after all, the action two days ago caused many people to lose their jobs.

But these people only dared to curse once.

As for doing anything more, I absolutely dare not do that.

As time came to noon.

"The great sage has arrived."

Following the hoarse shout of the herald, Azar walked onto the platform in his luxurious academic robe.

He specially wore the laurel wreath belonging to a senior scholar today, and his old face was flushed with a sickly color due to excitement.

When he raised his hands, the noise of the crowd suddenly disappeared as if cut off by a knife.

Although many people dislike him, the majesty of the great sage is unquestionable.

"People of Xumi!"

Azar's voice was amplified by thirty resonant speakers, stirring up tiny echoes on the surface of the pool. "We are here today for a great cause."

"I'm deeply sorry to inform you that just two days ago, the merchant from Liyue who threatened our merchants outside Xumi City carried out a brutal attack in the desert."

"Dozens of desert tribal leaders were killed, and his elemental cannons finally landed on the heads of Xumi's people."

"Although the desert people always cause us trouble, they are also the people of Xumi."

"Therefore, the Court of Admonitions will, on behalf of Lord Grass God, judge Liyue Merchant Wang Que!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

The surrounding void devices projected a holographic image, which was the scene of the floating city firing at Cassia and others.

Crystallized sand, huge pits, and the desert tribal leader whose body was nowhere to be found.

The saturation of the picture was deliberately increased to make the blood color appear more glaring.

This video was shot in the floating city.

Below, the people of Xumi were in an uproar.

"Impossible, Mr. Wang Que is a good man."

“Yes, he also helped many patients.”

"This is fabricated evidence."

Some people spoke up for Wang Que. Most of them were people who had been helped by Wang Que, such as patients' families.

Of course, there are people who say good things and there are naturally people who say bad things.

"Humph, that guy bribed you with just a little benefit?"

"Is it necessary for the House of Lords to lie?"

"It must be because of the war that the House of Representatives exposed it."

"Yeah, last time he fired the cannon, I felt he wasn't a good person."

Some people mixed in the crowd started to set the pace.

Azar looked at the commotion below, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, and then he stretched out his hand and said, "Everyone, please stop arguing. After the other party committed a serious crime, the House of Lords took emergency measures."

"So, we have already taken control of the other party's floating city. Everything will be clear once the floating city arrives."

"The Order of the Holy Trinity will not lie to you. That Wang Que is a true criminal!"

As Hazard spoke, he was already thinking about how high his prestige would reach after this incident.

His words also calmed the quarrel below.

Those who had spoken for Wang Que before also began to hesitate.

After all, Hazard doesn't look like he is lying.

For a moment, the crowd fell silent.

Even if someone spoke, it was in a low voice.

On the podium, Hazard did not leave, he still stood there.

Today is his highlight moment, and he doesn't want to miss even a second of it.

Time passed little by little.

Suddenly, a black dot appeared in the distant sky.
