Therefore, we were less hesitant and timid in our subsequent actions!
For the next period of time, they acted as if they were in an empty land, taking whatever good things they saw. However, after taking for a while, they realized that there were too few people who came with them. Each of them only had two hands, and there were so many things, how could they possibly take them all?
This regret reached its peak when Lin Rumi secretly pried open the next door.
The whole room was filled with jewels and the smell of money.
Actually, the moonlight streaming in through the window cracks shone on the gold and silver, making my eyes feel almost dazzled.
The Bai family has worked so hard for so long to make Zhenxiufang a thriving business, so it's no wonder that branches are opening in other countries!
Therefore, he has seen far more gold and silver jewelry than what is in front of him.
She still acted like she'd never seen the world before.
His mouth was wide open.
After all, what you earn through your own hard work is definitely not the same as what you get from others.
This person was also her enemy.
When the three Lin brothers saw the abundance of gold and silver jewelry, they were first surprised, and then felt a pang of jealousy. Their biological father, who lived a life of luxury in this vast princess's mansion, with so much gold and silver jewelry that one room couldn't hold it all, only wanted them dead.
This is beyond description; the word "beast" is simply inadequate.
Moreover, along their journey, they witnessed the plight of the refugees near Kyoto!
Those people were all disheveled, emaciated, and clearly hadn't eaten in a long time.
When they first saw the luxurious convoy, they even approached it wanting something. However, as they got closer and saw the armor the people were wearing, they were so frightened that they immediately retreated to the sides of the road.
There were also those who were not afraid of death, or those who were willing to risk their lives for their children, who knelt beside the carriage with their children in their arms, hoping to beg for a bite to eat for their children.
But he was killed by a soldier next to him with a single slash.
When Lin Dayong saw the corpse and the wailing child it was holding, his face was full of disgust.
The three Lin brothers inside the carriage naturally witnessed this scene. They knew they couldn't be given food at this time, and the soldier had done the right thing. However, they still glanced at it a few more times and were somewhat curious. Why couldn't such a prosperous capital city make room for these refugees in a small place?
Moreover, if they don't have the capability to provide these refugees with a place to stay, then why are people guarding the border and preventing anyone from leaving the area?
Let them stay here and fend for themselves!
They always thought that the national treasury was empty because of the war, and that most of the money was put into the soldiers in order to defend the country.
But now it seems that not everyone is like their eldest sister!
These people are truly just occupying positions without doing any work!
If even a small portion of this gold and silver could be used to build a thatched hut for these people, they wouldn't have died such a miserable death!
If even the princess's residence is like this, then what about the so-called king!
"Sis! What do you think these people are thinking?"
"The people outside are living in dire straits, while these people only care about their own enjoyment."
"Look at all this gold and silver jewelry. I wonder how much of the people's hard-earned money they have exploited to accumulate to this level."
"I do not understand."
“This princess has never experienced hardship and may not have much of a concept of money, but that beast, didn’t he climb up from the very bottom step by step?”
"Hasn't he experienced those hardships before?"
"Haven't you ever experienced those times when you had no other choice?"
"Why do you disregard the lives of those people while indulging in your own gluttony!"
"Yes, elder sister! Those refugees are so pitiful!"
"Seeing them reminds me of what we used to be like."
"Then why don't they let these refugees go elsewhere to find a way to survive?"
"Aren't you afraid of driving these refugees to revolt?"
Lin Ru smiled as she looked at her three younger brothers.
“I saw those refugees you saw as well.”
All I can say is that everyone has their own destiny.
"In fact, at the beginning, the Marquis of Zhenxi had not yet ordered the border to be sealed off."
“These people can go to our territory or the territory of the Marquis of Zhenbei. They will be much better off in either place.”
"But they were determined to stay in Kyoto."
"It can only be said that they made the wrong choice from the beginning."
"Later, the Marquis of Zhenxi realized the importance of these refugees, which is why he sealed off the border."
"However, he didn't have the patience to help these people rebuild their homes little by little."
"And even if he had that much patience, his orders still wouldn't get through."
“Kyoto is different from other places.”
"This place is a gathering place for many high-ranking officials and dignitaries."
“These people are all seasoned veterans.”
"They followed the previous emperor, indulging in laziness and oppressing the people every day, and they had become accustomed to it."
"Even if the Marquis of Zhenxi really allocated some silver, these people would exploit it layer by layer and put it into their own pockets, leaving very little for the common people."
"If Zheng Xihao wants to establish himself in Kyoto, he can't afford to offend these seasoned veterans in Kyoto!"
"These old hands are all from powerful families. Their families have lived in Kyoto for generations, like a century-old tree with deep roots and lush foliage. They can't be taken down all at once."
"That's why I investigate the local officials wherever I go, and kill all the lazy and good-for-nothing officials. Not only do I kill them, but I also kill their entire clan."
"Although they may not have directly caused the deaths of those people, their current life of abundance and privilege is built upon the bones of those people."
"Since you've enjoyed the glory and preferential treatment of the clan, then your death is not unjust!"
"This way, we can eliminate future troubles forever."
The three Lin brothers were deeply shocked when they heard this.
They had always believed that ignorance was no excuse.
But those who are unaware of this, the life they enjoy comes from exploiting the common people, so are they really innocent?
Thinking of this, the three of them couldn't help but fall into deep thought!
Mrs. Bai was deeply moved by how her daughter had grown up to be so accomplished without her even realizing it. She was incredibly proud of her daughter.
It's a pity there's so much gold and silver jewelry inside.
