The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 339 339. Abuse of life

"You know how to plan! Do you think that by climbing to the high branches of Prince Ding's Mansion, you can sit back and relax?"

"What kind of person do you think I am? I joined Prince Ding's Mansion not because I wanted to compete with you for power, but because I feel that the dirty things in Jinling City should have been dealt with long ago."

Chi Lingyou was a little afraid of Chi Zimo at first, after all, he had gotten used to it over the years.

But as he spoke, he was no longer afraid. Everything he did was for justice in his heart. He was not afraid that his elder brother would punish him, nor was he afraid that his future would be ruined.

So he spoke.

"Over the years, my grandfather has kept his eldest brother by his side and has never cared about my sister and me. I resented it when I was a child. Why are we all grandfather's grandchildren? We are all legitimate children. You can get all the love from your grandfather, and I and I My sister would be reprimanded for even approaching you. In addition, my grandmother and father were always talking bad about you, so I also regarded you as a strong enemy. I wanted to do something big and let my grandfather see that his grandson was not just You alone are something to be proud of.”

After saying the words that had been hidden in his heart for many years, Chi Lingyou felt much more comfortable.

When he looked at Chi Zimo again, there was some inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

"But things went against my wishes. No matter how hard I tried, I was always far behind you. So three years ago, I ran away from home in anger and ran to Dongdu City. I wanted to make some achievements and then come back. Who knew I would meet someone unexpectedly? When it came to the prince, he had already made plans to eradicate the collusion between officials and businessmen in Jinling City and the corruption. It happened that because I was a member of the Chi family, he would naturally have more contact with me. "

Chi Zimo listened to him without interrupting.

In fact, he was aware of Chi Lingyou's resentment towards him over the years.

Similarly, he also hated the bloodline of Wu Fang, his sister and brother because his parents' second uncle was killed by Mrs. Lan and Chi Wulang.

Why can they live happily at the knees of their parents and feel the happiness of family, while they can only rely on their memories and the memorial tablets in the ancestral hall to remember the past.

After he took over part of the Chi family's property, he thought about killing everyone and eradicating Mrs. Lan's lineage.

But after his grandfather saw what he was thinking, he used many methods to help him dispel this hatred. This person has passed away and is connected by blood. Whatever the fate of Mrs. Lan and Chi Wulang is, they all deserve it. retribution.

But this matter should not involve siblings Chi Lingying and Chi Lingyou.

So even though Chi Zimo was tough and harsh, he still made plans for their future in private.

When Chi Lingying and the Zhu family wanted to get married, he objected.

If nothing else, the Zhu family and the Cao family have been dazzled by power and wealth over the years, and have been widely implicated in the corruption of the Water Transport Department. If the incident comes to light, Chi Lingying will definitely be implicated.

But Wufang is like this. The more fierce his opposition, the more determined Wufang will be to marry him in order to gain the so-called power to compete with him.

So after knowing that Chi Lingyou had taken refuge in Prince Ding's Mansion, his first reaction was that Chi Lingyou also wanted to mess with people he shouldn't mess with in order to deal with him?

Of course he was furious!

Who would have thought that his brother, who was more than ten years younger than him, would suddenly speak his mind.

While listening, Chi Zimo thought of many past events.

After a long silence, he spoke to comfort him.

"What kind of person is Prince Ding? He was once a prince who was raised and carefully cultivated by the late emperor. He is talented in civility and military strategy, governs the country, and weighs the pros and cons. He has never learned anything and has never seen anything. How dare you go there as a young boy? Even if you are in trouble, you are not afraid of being plotted against!"

With his mind, he couldn't even see through the prince Ding, let alone the young Chi Lingyou.

"Brother, I know you are worried about me, but do you know how those officials and businessmen who have shielded each other have lived their lives these years?"

When he mentioned this, he felt that if Jinling City did not conduct a thorough investigation, it would rot to the very core.

"You don't bother to be with me. Naturally, many people are restrained in front of you. I have gone to banquets with my father several times, and each time they were more extravagant and cruel. What do you mean by five hundred gold for a table of dishes? Thousands of fish are cut open and only the back meat about two inches below the head is used for cooking. The fresh duck's feet are washed and fried directly in the oil pan, then thrown into the water to soak. After repeating this four or five times, the duck's feet are It’s so crispy and crispy that it’s just slaughtered and served right away. Is this eating vegetables? This is obviously for the pleasure of torturing animals!”

Speaking of excitement, Chi Lingyou was filled with anger.

"There are also simmered sea turtles and live roasted donkey meat. Do you know how they are made? The small stove is served directly to the table, and an iron box is placed on it. The sea turtles inside are tied with wires. When the iron box is heated , the turtle opened its mouth and exhaled, and the boy next to him poured all the prepared sauce into the turtle's mouth. The ingredients in its stomach were all smelly, but the turtle was still alive! After half an hour of tossing, the turtle didn't move. Later, it was taken out and cut into the belly for consumption. The live donkey was tied to a pillar next to it. The cook cut the meat on the spot and screamed. The meat was still beating when it was served, but the donkey next to it was only half a skeleton. Still alive and kicking. Brother! Tell me, is this something a human being can do?"

"They didn't realize they were being cruel, but they still ate with gusto. After those few banquets, I understood a truth. If human flesh was edible in that day, the geese, turtles, and donkeys would all be the same fate for the common people!"

Although Chi Lingyou is young, he is full of justice.

After Chi Zimo heard what he said, he was not only happy that the children of the Chi family had not been corrupted, but also extremely worried that his character, which was too clear-cut between grudges and grudges, would suffer in the future.

So he spoke to comfort him.

"The extravagant style of Jiangnan has existed since ancient times, but it has always been suppressed for a period of time and then revived. Have you ever thought about the reason?"

Chi Lingyou didn't know and shook his head.

"If you are not in your position, you can naturally resist temptation, but when you are in it, not everyone has the pride to stand up."

"According to Big Brother's opinion, these people should not be controlled?"

Chi Lingyou's voice suddenly became louder. What he disliked the most was the impunity for mistakes. If everyone used excuses to get past it, what rules and regulations would there be left to talk about in the future?

"You are wrong. It's not that you shouldn't take care of it, but how to take care of it? If you take care of it and do it again, it means you don't take care of it. I don't need to teach you this anymore."

Chi Lingyou was silent. What his elder brother said did make sense. "So how can we prevent future troubles?"

"This matter is difficult to handle but not difficult to deal with. Where does the trend of extravagance come from? Who opened the door for seeking power for personal gain? What is the benefit of the collusion between government and businessmen? If you have figured out these questions, you will naturally be able to think of ways to cure it. "

Chi Lingyou lowered his head and pondered. What he thought of was always to contain problems when they arise, rather than to completely eliminate the possibility of the problem growing before it forms.
