Li Mengxia geared up and looked like he was going to fight: "Damn it, that bastard dared to pretend to be Lord Zuo Tianshi and harmed so many people. If I don't kill him this time, I won't be named Li! Zuo Tian Master, what is Meng Xia going to do? Please give me your orders!"
…
The fake Zuo Tianshi has not lived in Fucang Palace in the past two years. It is said that he dislikes that Fucang Palace is too small because the Holy Lady also needs a corresponding residence.
Someone suggested that Fucang Palace and its surrounding buildings should be demolished and rebuilt together, but the fake Zuo Tianshi rejected this proposal and said that the palace should be kept temporarily. He chose another Feng Shui treasure land and ordered 100,000 craftsmen to build another one. It is twice as big as Fucang Palace. No one knows the layout inside, because the one hundred thousand craftsmen disappeared collectively after building this garden, and no one has appeared again. Of course, no one dares to ask. It is said that a minister once asked about this and got violently ill and died the next day.
Li Mengxia and others also secretly went there to explore, but they couldn't even get in through the gate. According to Li Mengxia, the house was like a maze full of institutions. The walls were not only high, but also seemed to be hidden in the mist. , people will immediately lose their way when they touch the courtyard wall...
Not only did Li Mengxia and others fail to enter that expedition, they almost got trapped in the fog...
When Li Mengxia and Di Fuyi talked about these situations, they had already entered the capital of Feixing Kingdom.
I haven’t been back for eight years, and the capital of Feixing Kingdom has changed a lot, becoming even more magnificent!
As they walked along, all they saw were displaced refugees and dilapidated houses. They didn't expect that the capital would still be so prosperous, and not a single beggar would be seen.
Li Mengxia whispered: "That fake asked Rong Jialuo to order all the poor people to be kicked out, and only the upper-middle-class or wealthy families were allowed to enter, so this place looks a bit more prosperous... But the lives of these people are also poor. It’s not easy to get along, the royal family collects taxes every day, and a middle-class family is reduced to extreme poverty in less than a year, and then they are kicked out... "
Gu Xijiu frowned slightly: "Are those people willing to be exploited by the imperial court like this?"
Li Mengxia smiled bitterly and said: "What can you do if you don't give in? If you don't give in, you will be kicked out of the city. And now the whole continent is full of wars. It is peaceful and comfortable here. Although the taxes are ridiculously high, at least life is safe. It’s guaranteed. Many unwilling people were found dead in the fields within two days of running out. They died in extremely miserable conditions, and all their belongings were missing... "
Gu Xijiu naturally understood that those people were assassinated by people sent by the imperial court, and couldn't help but sigh.
When a lunatic has overwhelming power, it's really terrifying!
It is very difficult to enter the capital. You need to have customs clearance documents, identity documents and a lot of other things.
Fortunately, Li Mengxia had a wide network and had obtained all these things, and Gu Xijiu was good at disguise, so the three of them disguised themselves as a wealthy gentry in the city and his family members.
Yuanwailang, wearing Di Fuyi's make-up, looked quite elegant.
Gu Xijiu, on the other hand, put on makeup to look like his beautiful concubine, and she was still beautiful.
Li Mengxia made up as two martial maids, with black and white eyes, extremely energetic.
The three of them went to a restaurant and ordered a table of food. Li Mengxia had been on the run for several months and almost didn't know the taste of meat. When he saw the combination of meat and vegetables on the table, his eyes lit up and he immediately ate it.
The three of them were eating when they suddenly heard someone shouting from outside: "Master Zuo Tianshi is here, kneel down!"
…
It’s New Year’s Eve. I wish all my friends a happy New Year and all the best in the new year.
