years. But governing a province is out of the question. This palace wouldn't take the well-being of an entire province's people as a personal favor."Zhao Rui whispered, "This concubine knows and will...Chapter 1775: Starfire Ignites

As for this skill, neither Xu Changqing nor Zhou Ping'an disturbed him. The two sat together, sipping tea and chatting idly about nothing in particular. Xu Changqing was also happy and relaxed, taking a break from his busy schedule.

After half an hour, Zhou Changshou put down the last official document.

"Done."

Zhou Changshou looked at Xu Changqing and Zhou Ping'an, saying, "I dare to assert that the current national situation has reached a very critical juncture. However, there is a hidden hand deceiving both superiors and inferiors, suppressing the true situation and preventing the court from knowing it. The purpose is to wait until it completely erupts, on that day a catastrophe will sweep across the country."

Xu Changqing's hand holding the teacup trembled, and he stood up, saying, "Is it that serious"

Zhou Changshou picked up several official letters without opening them, and said: “These are from the southwest. They only say that there have been some bandits appearing in various places, roving and committing crimes in towns. Anyone who commits a crime will surely burn, loot, and plunder.”

Similar content appeared six times in the Southwest region and four times in the South China region...

Zhou Changshou could spout all kinds of data, and Xu Changqing didn't believe him at first. After only half an hour of reading over a hundred official letters, it was already impressive that he had finished them. But could Zhou Changshou remember everything

Ke can wait for Xu Changqing to find the official letters according to Zhou Zhangshou's statement, and found that the contents are exactly the same as what Zhou Zhangshou said.

This couldn't help but make Xu Changqing break out in a cold sweat.

“There are no natural disasters right now, but there are many bandits, though each band is very small. Where do these bandits come from They all come from displaced people. Because the common people can’t survive, they have to leave their homes and go elsewhere to make a living. Some elderly, weak, sick, or disabled have no choice but to beg everywhere. But those who are young and strong, once they are starving, will naturally turn desperate. Since they feel they have nothing to lose anyway, the law holds little sway over them, so displaced people become bandits.”

Zhou Changshou said solemnly: "Those so-called bandits in those regions probably don't exist. What truly exists are the people who find their savings cannot be withdrawn from the money houses, falling into anger and despair. And the local government's suppression of bandits is actually a series of massacres against these people."

Looking up, Zhou Changshou gazed at Zhou Ping'an and said, "What's happening now is like a spark ignited on the land of the Qin Empire. If these sparks are left unchecked, they will spread uncontrollably, consuming everything in their path."

Zhou Ping'an's face darkened.

He knew that every word Zhou Changshou said was true.

"What shall we do!"

Xu Changqing looked anxious and said, "Such a big matter, it's better to report to His Highness immediately..."

"Of course, we need to report it. But by the time the message goes back and forth, things will have cooled down, so how to solve it still depends on us."

Zhou Changshou's one sentence startled Xu Changqing.

"Such a momentous affair, how could we possibly take it upon ourselves Without Your Highness's command, we wouldn't even have the... "

"Mr. Xu."

Zhou Changshou said in a gentle voice: "Ability, one's own, should be shown to others, instead of sitting at home waiting for others to give it. Your Highness wants us under his command, isn't it to solve some problems for him"

Xu Changqing was so angry that his teeth ached, thinking Zhou Changshou's words were too outrageous.

"The Jinyiwei need to make their move early."

Zhou Changshou turned his head to look at Zhou Ping'an. This sentence made Xu Changqing extremely surprised.

These two people, they're actually going to attack the Jinyiwei!bao to send the elite of the Dongchang to investigate it thoroughly.Even though he didn't have much hope, doing something was always better than nothing.After the three treasures left, Li Chen got up...
