I Kidnapped 1.4 Billion People

Northwestern Dayue Empire, Zhuoyang County.

Zhuoyang County is the prefecture closest to the Dayue Temple in the northwest frontier. It is the main hub of interconnection between the Dayue Empire and the towns in the northwest.

A middle-aged man riding a horse, wearing a felt hat and dressed as a commoner, followed the flow of people into Zhuoyang County.

The middle-aged man has a big belly that does not match his status, and fair and tender skin.

If you observe carefully, you will find that they do not look like hard-working villagers exposed to the wind and sun, but rather like pampered and privileged people.

However, who would pay special attention to a mountain man wearing shabby clothes?

Shi Lei touched his belly, which was big enough to take a boat. After traveling for such a long time, he was a little hungry.

Shi Lei took out the dried wild vegetables from his backpack and put it back in the bag with disgust.

He still can't get used to food from another world.

Lifting up his belt, Shi Lei walked straight towards the Yamen here.

There are three paths to becoming an official in Dayue.

The first is the imperial examination, which is also popular here to select scholars.

The second is the internal recommendation system, where people from the government recommend and recommend.

Of the two, the imperial examination was too slow and there was no recommendation, so there was only the third way, which was suitable for Shi Lei.

The third is to use money to buy an official position.

Li Honglei spent a lot of money to buy Shi Lei a minor official in the government office to participate in politics.

Shi Lei came here to take office.

"Who is coming?"

When the government officer saw Shi Lei approaching, he immediately scolded him.

Shi Lei heard this and said politely: "My lord, please give this letter to the county magistrate."

Shi Lei handed over the letter and stuffed a bag of money into the yamen servant's sleeve.

After collecting the money, the officer's expression softened a lot, "Just wait!"

"Excuse me, brother Yamen."

After a while, the yamen servant ran out and his attitude changed completely. He respectfully invited Shi Lei in and changed his title to "Sir."

The society in another world is also such a reality.

…

It was rare that Li Honglei gave Zhang Yichen a holiday.

Zhang Yichen has his own time and can be lazy.

Li Honglei and Xu Zhengyang walked to the front, followed by Xiang Yu and Wulin. On the surface, the four of them pretended to be shopping casually, but in fact, they sealed Zhang Yichen within their protective circle.

Zhang Yichen toured the streets of Wan Yao City in a novel way. He had been in Wan Yao City for so long, and this was Zhang Yichen's first time visiting Wan Yao City.

Wanyao City is a famous city in the Dayue Empire, and its prosperity is naturally higher than that of a remote small city like Bishite City.

"Hello everyone, today I will take you to visit Wanyao City and see the style of a famous city in another world."

The camera turned over and scanned the surrounding scenery.

The streets are nothing more than commodity trading markets. Watch the excitement and experience the living conditions in a different world.

Among the crowd, there was a thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks who took a liking to Zhang Yichen at a glance.

That curious expression, as if he had never seen the world before, was the perfect choice for a fat sheep.

The man mixed in the crowd and gradually approached Zhang Yichen.

Just when the man was about to approach Zhang Yichen, a wall of people blocked the man's way.

The man raised his head in astonishment and looked at Li Honglei, who was a head taller than him, in confusion.

Li Honglei laughed evilly and hugged the man's shoulders affectionately, "Brother, it's been a long time. Brother, I miss you so much."

The man wanted to resist, but he was no match for Li Honglei. He was pushed into the alley by the street like a chicken.

"What is Brother Li doing?" Zhang Yichen asked suspiciously.

Xu Zhengyang: "Do you want to deal with a small matter?"

After a while, Li Honglei walked out of the alley, but the thin man was nowhere to be seen.

"The security in Wanyao City is too bad!" Li Honglei sighed. Not long after he came out, he encountered a thief. "Master, go back!"

Zhang Yichen's ignorant and curious look was obviously telling the criminals on the street that I am a big fat sheep, come and eat me!

"No! I just came out?"

It’s not easy to take a vacation, but I haven’t fully explored the scenery outside, so why go back?

"Captain, the young master finally came out for a while, are you in a hurry to go back?" Xu Zhengyang also said, pleading for Zhang Yichen.

They saw Zhang Yichen's life. To be honest, Zhang Yichen was just a mascot locked in a cage.

On the surface, Zhang Yichen has all kinds of privileges and independence and freedom, but in fact, he has been living in a cage woven by others and has never left.

Zhang Yichen also understood, but he did not resist. He voluntarily trapped himself in the gorgeous cage and refused to resist.

"Okay then! Let's go shopping then!"

Li Honglei took a deep look at Xu Zhengyang and stood firm to his post again.

On this day, Zhang Yichen visited the bustling city of Wanyao City, ate the food in Wanyao City, watched street performers, and experienced a rare relaxing time.

At night, Zhang Yichen fell asleep, and Xiang Yu and Wulin kept watch.

Li Honglei found Xu Zhengyang with two jars of wine.

Throwing a jar of wine to Xu Zhengyang, "Let's talk."

"During the mission, you are not allowed to drink alcohol."

Li Honglei took a sip of wine, and the spicy taste filled his mouth. "That was when we were performing a normal mission. This mission has no deadline. We can't live without drinking wine for the rest of our lives!"

When Xu Zhengyang heard this, he still didn't drink from the jar of wine, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Talk about your views on the official plan." Li Honglei smiled.

Xu Zhengyang's expression remained as usual, "I don't have any opinion. I am here to perform the task, not the decision-maker of the task."

"But you felt compassion for him."

Xu Zhengyang remained silent and did not refute.

"I understand that he is a kind-hearted child, and it is inevitable for you to feel compassion. But what happened to that child requires us to be extremely cautious. Now, the official has paid a lot of efforts. Compromised.”

Xu Zhengyang remained silent.

"Locked him in a woven cage, he understood it, but he didn't resist, right?"

Xu Zhengyang continued to be silent.

"When he was chosen by fate, he knew that he would lose a lot of freedom and would live in a safe cage for the rest of his life."

"Because he is kind, he doesn't want his fellow humans to die because of him, so he knows that he must live in a cage, suppress his character, suppress his nature, and become a mascot-like existence."

Xu Zhengyang pursed his lips, "Is this fair?"
