Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1316 - 305: Farewell, Peng Yingyu

However, Chen Jie thought it over and decided not to lose his temper.

Chen Jie has already given up on the path of the governnt. From now on, he will embark on the road of the rebel army, and his natural disposition belongs to Peng Yingyu’s Maitreya Sect.

Since this is the case, Chen Jie wants to understand what his old employer is really like.

Upon eting, Chen Jie felt very disappointed; this was not a rebel army, it was basically bandits, even worse than bandits.

The law and order were terrible; these forr Maitreya cult mbers openly demanded bribes, it was outrageous, and the most infuriating thing was that when bribery failed, they wanted to arrest him as a spy.

And if he were really caught and thrown into prison today, the consequences could be very tragic.

Chen Jie thought about Peng Yingyu’s Maitreya sect governnt and ca to a new realization: a ragtag band with lax discipline. Although Peng Yingyu might have the strength of the Heavenly List in martial arts, in governance, Chen Jie’s evaluation was a failing grade.

Chen Jie was very dissatisfied with the Tianyuan Empire’s governnt, finding the whole regi reminiscent of a band of amateurs with a get-rich-quick attitude.

It felt like the people finally uplifted themselves and began to sing like they had overthrown their oppressors. From today on, all the common people here are the cattle and horses of our Maitreya sect, and they must offer to us dutifully.

This made Chen Jie feel very dissatisfied.

Conquering the world, becoming the overlord, and being above others is indeed important, but you cannot disregard the lives and deaths of common people.

Chen Jie felt very disappointed, comparing Xiangyang City to his own Huangzhou Prefecture.

As a prefecture city, the population here is double that of Huangzhou Prefecture, its geographic location is more favorable, and comrce should be more developed.

Moreover, with an expert like Peng Yingyu in charge, as long as the governors could be stable and sincere, this would be a solid rear base. Once the people’s trust was gained, the Tianyuan Empire could stand firm.

But alas, it seems that chaos reigns within the Tianyuan Empire now.

Thinking this, Chen Jie took the money bag hanging from his waist and threw it to the gate guard, saying, "Take it all."

The person who had spoken up for Chen Jie saw this and imdiately stepped forward, saying, "Dear guards, you see, he knows he was wrong, please be lenient and spare him."

Upon these words, everyone looked at Chen Jie, and after a while, soone said, "Alright then, get lost, get lost."

"Thank you, guards, thank you."

The man pulled Chen Jie into the city directly. Chen Jie turned back to look at these soldiers and saw them stopping a farr pushing a small cart.

The farr clearly couldn’t produce any money and was kicked several tis by the soldiers before being driven out of the city.

After entering the city, the once-prosperous Xiangyang City ca into Chen Jie’s view. Looking around, Chen Jie felt a bit gloomy because the prosperity here was no match for his Huangzhou Prefecture.

This was the capital city of the entire Hubei Road, yet it couldn’t compete comrcially with a remote little prefecture, which showed its true condition.

Suppressing his emotions, Chen Jie looked at the person who had been speaking up for him.

Who was this, he didn’t even know.

Chen Jie cupped his fist and said, "Thank you, brother, but I haven’t asked your honorable na."

"Oh, what honorable na, you’re flattering ; I’m just an errand-runner."

Chen Jie looked at him and asked, "An errand-runner?"

The man chuckled, "Yes, I run errands for people all over the city. I saw you, noble sir, wearing distinguished clothes and thought I’d see if there’s any way I can assist, hoping the noble might give so three lons and two dates, which would be enough for my family’s food and drink."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie understood; this was just a go-between who ran errands for nobles.

Moreover, this person must know the gatekeepers, as soone who can get people out of the grasp of those city guards must pay regular respects.

Such people are often well-inford individuals.

With this in mind, Chen Jie glanced at him and asked, "What’s your na?"

"I am Feng San, an insect within Xiangyang City."

Chen Jie said, "Very well, it’s my first ti in Xiangyang City. Is there a tavern with authentic flavors?"

Upon this, Feng San replied, "Yes, Old Li’s Tavern has authentic flavors and fair prices, perfect for noble sir to change your palate."

Chen Jie said, "Lead the way."

Chen Jie wanted to learn more about the situation in Xiangyang City, and Feng San, well-versed in the undercurrents, was a good breakthrough point. He often held information that cannot be found officially.

Chen Jie followed Feng San to a tavern in a secluded alley.

Feng San called out to the owner, "Old Li, a noble guest, good wine, good food."

Upon hearing this, an old man ca out from the tavern responding, imdiately inviting Chen Jie inside.

Entering the room, they found it small with only three tables, and it was empty, but the old man was quite diligent.

He wiped the tables with a rag, asking what they wanted to eat.

Chen Jie said, "Anything will do."

Feng San said, "Old Li, this is a noble guest, naturally, whatever expensive dishes there are, serve them."

Old Li replied, "Oh, then I’ll make so noodles for you two."

Feng San stood up and said, "Co now, Old Li, let tell you what to cook."

Soon, Feng San led Old Li to a corner of the room. Although this spot was secluded, Chen Jie could hear their conversation clearly.

He heard Feng San say, "Old Li, are you stupid? I went to great lengths to bring you a custor, and you’re just going to earn a bowl of noodles money?"
