In that case, the worst that can happen is we will rise up in resistance.
There are a large number of people with the surname of Qi in Yunzhong. As long as they unite as one, tie up those officials who are inactive, and march all the way to the capital, who can stop them?
"But what if the Nanyue court really doesn't care about this matter, and instead suppresses the Zhou clan?"
"Unless the Queen of Nanyue doesn't want to sit on the throne, she must resolve this matter and appease all the people with the surname Zhou in Yunzhong." Su Chenyu continued, "In fact, there is another way, that is, all the people with the surname Zhou unite to resist the pirates, but in this way, the court will easily ignore the Yunzhong area in the future."
Jiang Yu understood Su Chenyu's meaning: "So you think the most problematic thing is the court of South Vietnam?"
Su Chenyu nodded: "Officials and bandits colluded, officials protected each other, the words of the surname Zhu were not heard by the emperor, and the king was blinded. It was never because of the surname Zhu, but because of the inability of the Queen of Nanyue to control. Since she became the emperor, she must take on responsibilities. The Queen of Nanyue failed to shoulder this responsibility, and she is ashamed of the surname Zhu."
Just like Dayu, when pirate incidents occurred in the southwest, local officials first offered assistance, and after several failures, they directly asked the court for help.
This is exactly why Su Chenyu appointed them as officials, willing to solve the problems of the people. Once they found that they were incapable of solving the problems, they did not think about covering up the truth, but took the initiative to request support.
When Su Chenyu was talking, Jiang Yu's eyes were all on her. Su Chenyu was as dazzling as the sun in the sky, dazzling and brilliant. No matter what it was, it could not cover up her radiance.
"Are you really from a merchant family?"
Su Chenyu asked back: "Why, doesn't it look like that?"
Jiang Yu joked, "Businessmen don't have your courage, nor do they necessarily have your insight."
Su Chenyu smiled and said, "I have traveled a lot and have seen a lot. Naturally, I understand a lot of things."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chenyu saw several people named Wei being knocked to the ground by the pirates. They raised their swords and were about to chop them down. Su Chenyu did not continue to watch and immediately shot out several silver needles, which pierced through the wrists of those pirates. The pirates rolled on the ground, holding their wrists in pain.
Su Chenyu and Jiang Yu appeared and helped Tian Qi defeat all the pirates. The leader saw Tian Qi staring at him blankly and urged helplessly: "Hurry up!"
Tian Qi finally reacted and ran out with everyone.
Su Chenyu and Jiang Yu did not leave with Tian Qi and the others, but rushed to the residence of the Yunzhong prefect.
At this moment, the Qi Mansion was completely quiet, which formed a sharp contrast with the scene of the Qi people fleeing everywhere outside.
Su Chenyu and Jiang Yu sneaked into the Yi Mansion quietly and found Yi Song in the study of the Yi Mansion.
He was over thirty years old, but he had not yet married and had no children. He only had an old servant serving him in his house.
Yi Song looked like a weak bookworm. Even though the person sitting opposite him was a ferocious pirate, there was no sign of panic on his face.
"Master, when will you give them this month's gifts?" Qu Lao Er asked, "I didn't come here in person last month, so you gave them a lot less."
Qi Song raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "Didn't I tell you that you guys go ashore too frequently? If you continue like this, you will go ashore less and less frequently."
Qu Lao Er slammed his fist on the desk: "Stop pretending here, why should I listen to you?"
Being threatened by Qu Lao Er, Qie Song was not annoyed. He just opened the drawer of the desk, took out a stack of banknotes, and placed them on the table: "This is all I have."
Qu Lao Er counted the banknotes, his face becoming even uglier: "Master, you are becoming more and more perfunctory now. The business of Yunzhong City is so good, and I always tell my subordinates not to touch those merchants. Is this how you repay me?"
Qi Song said coldly: "You didn't touch those merchants because you wanted to use me to help you make money from them. But you promised me that you would not harm the Qi family in Yunzhong City. Did you do it?"
Qu Lao Er drew his sword and put it on the neck of Qie Song: "So you are dissatisfied with this matter. Don't forget that you are now under my control. The lives of all the Qi people in Yunzhong City are in your hands. If I am not satisfied, I will just massacre the whole city!"
