Chapter 89 Death is not a pity
"In that case, just do what you want." Yi Ti said with a smile, "Anyway, I don't understand this world as well as you do. I believe you can handle it well."
Li Dian nodded.
"So, do you plan to go directly to the base of the revolutionary army now?" Yi Ti asked.
"No, I plan to go to the Imperial Capital first."
Li Zhong said with a serious face: "All disturbances will be concentrated in the Imperial Capital in the end, and what happens in the Imperial Capital is the key to the Revolutionary Army's victory over the Imperial Army. If the confrontation in the Imperial Capital fails, then the Revolutionary Army will also fall.
In the hands of the Imperial Army."
"The imperial capital refers to the capital of the empire, right? How far is it?"
Li Zhong turned to look at the map in the tavern and said: "It's a bit far, but it's not a big problem. Just fight all the way there. By the way, you can also find out what the officials in the cities along the way are like...corrupt officials, all of them
Get rid of it."
Hearing this, Yi Ti immediately narrowed her eyes and asked, "Have you ever killed anyone?"
"ah?"
Li Zhong was stunned for a moment: "No... it shouldn't be any different from killing a monster, right? Anyway, it's all one blow. And the ghost looks almost like a human, so I'm very skilled at decapitating people with one blow!"
"That's because you know that ghosts are not humans, and you know that they must be killed. But you and humans are the same kind. If you fail to take action at the critical moment, that will be a more fatal weakness than your failure to adapt to a magic-free environment!"
Yiti crossed her arms in front of her chest and said.
Li Zhong thought for a moment and said: "I don't need to treat them as human beings. If the crime does not deserve death, then there is no need for me to kill him, but if it is the kind of guy who deserves death, then I don't treat him as a human being."
Just treat him like a human being."
"If you can really do this, that would be the best." Yi Ti yawned, "Then, how do you determine whether the officials in this area are guilty of heinous crimes?"
"Isn't that simple?"
Li Zhong immediately turned around, grabbed a gangster-looking guy who was about to walk out, and shouted: "Brother, please excuse me to ask you a question."
Initially, the gangster was very impatient when he was caught, but when he saw a few ten-denomination silver coins falling from Li Zhong's hand and pushing them in front of him, he suddenly smiled: "Brother, ask me, I am the one with the most information in this tavern.
I know everything from how many concubines the lord has to how many radishes Aunt Wang bought for dinner next door!"
Li Dian nodded and said calmly: "Brother, I followed the caravan into the city recently. I want to do business here, but I don't know what the owner of the city is like. Can you improve the taxation, policies and other things here?
Tell me something?"
“You’ve asked the right person about this!”
The little gangster suddenly said with some pride: "This is the news I just got today. Brother, you are very lucky! What should the city lord here say? It is not convenient to say it too openly."
Li Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly: "How to say?"
"It's very bad." The gangster suddenly said in a low voice, "It's very common to seize women and confiscate shops. People have no skills. They became the lord of the city just because they have connections with the court. Taxes are getting higher and higher.
The higher it goes, the more people will be ruined. If you plan to do business here, you have to be careful. Only a few relatively large firms here dare to open businesses here. Other small firms generally just sell their goods.
Ship it here and entrust it to a big trading house to sell it. I don’t dare to stay here.”
"That's it..." Li Zhong rubbed his chin and nodded, "Okay, I understand, thank you."
"It's okay, it's just gossip. Brother, I'm leaving first~" With that, the gangster smiled happily and took the money and left.
Li Zhong frowned and said, "It seems... I don't know very clearly who the city lord is."
"After all, he is just a gangster. The way you asked is not right, and such a subjective answer is not objective enough." Yi Ti crossed her arms on her chest, "If you plan to use this method to judge the quality of officials and nobles,
Then I advise you to forget it."
Li Dian nodded: "Indeed... I still need to observe more."
"Before that, you have to find a place to live. It's already evening now. No matter what you plan to do, wait until tomorrow." Yi Ti said.
"No!" Li Zhong suddenly smiled, "Night is the best time to take action!"
Yi Ti raised her eyebrows slightly: "Are you planning to take action in the middle of the night again?"
"Of course. Compared to before, I now have enhanced perception, clairvoyance, enemy detection skills, and can operate at night. I have an advantage over anyone else!" Li Zhong said with a smile.
"Whatever you want." Yi Ti yawned, "I'll take a rest first, and then wake me up when you want to take action."
"ok."
…
At night, no one is allowed to wander the streets in the middle of the night in the city. If there is no place to live, they can only stay in the slums. If they are discovered by soldiers patrolling at night, they can only be put in a cell.
Of course, in addition to the patrolling soldiers, there are also some people who sneak out in the middle of the night.
These people are doing shameful things.
Take Li Zhong for example. He was carrying a scythe and hiding in the shadows. After turning on the latent skill, he seemed to have completely disappeared, with almost no aura at all.
In the world of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", Li Zhong slept during the day and was active at night for several months. In the world of "Blessings for a Beautiful World", Li Zhong's jet lag returned to normal.
People have jet lag, working during the day and sleeping at night.
But now, Li finally feels the charm of night action again.
He rushed from the shadows to the roof of a building and stood on top, holding his hands in front of his chest. The night wind blew Li Zhong's clothes, making him clearer.
Looking at the empty streets and very few lights, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth: "It's been a long time since I went out at night. It feels really good after a long absence."
"At that time, it was because ghosts only appeared at night, so you moved at night." Yi Ti said, "Now it's just for convenience."
Li Zhong chuckled and said, "I feel very relaxed. It's midnight and there's no one around. I can do whatever I want!"
"Have you found anything about the city lord?" Yi Ti asked.
"Found it."
Li Zhong's expression suddenly became serious: "While you were resting, I asked many people and got information about the lord's character from many people."
"Really? Judging from the fact that you ran out in the middle of the night, this lord shouldn't be a good person, right?"
Li Dian nodded: "He is a pervert who likes young women. At least more than twenty children have been raped by him. And at least more than thirty families have been murdered. It seems that there are more than ten missing persons cases related to him.
relation."
"So are you ready?"
