The main reason why what is happening today is that transportation was underdeveloped in ancient times.

After all, the emperor is far away, and the local officials only need to make sure they look good when the inspectors come. How will Yongzheng, who is far away in the capital, know their actions at other times?

In this way, the envoys stationed in the local area could embezzle the construction funds allocated by the court in order to better fulfill the emperor's orders.

Afterwards, when tasks requiring heavy agricultural labor, such as building cities, offices, watchtowers, and post stations, the Miao people were forced to be used as unpaid labor in large numbers, just like prisoners.

Even for the sake of corruption, heavy taxes and levies of various kinds were imposed more than once, making the Miao people, who thought they could finally live a stable life, suffer terribly.

Speaking of which, this incident also happened in the history of the original world where Yin Qi was, and the approximate time of the events happening in this world is almost the same.

However, this incident later broke out a second time. Yinqi remembered that it was in the twelfth year of Yongzheng's reign. The Miao people called for the "birth of the Miao King" and responded in unison, gathering more than 2 people at one time.

And with the help of local officials covering up the truth, the situation escalated rapidly. It was not until the Miao people occupied more than a dozen cities in the Qing Dynasty that the matter was finally reported to the capital.

The final result was that the battle lasted for another three years, and the rebellion was not completely over until the first year of Qianlong's reign.

Yin Qi didn't think about this matter at first. After all, he was now living in a small world dominated by palace fighting after the magic reform, and there were only a few words about the affairs of the previous dynasty in the plot.

As a result, Yinqi really forgot about the events of the previous dynasty and did not pay much attention to them.

If Yongzheng had not sent Hongli and Hongzhou to inspect Guzhou at the beginning of this year, Yinqi might not have thought of this matter.

Of course, at the beginning he just wanted to go out and relax with Jinzhong, and also wanted to see if he could find someone to learn the unique skills of the Miao people.

After all, since ancient times, the Tang clan's magic and hidden weapons, as well as the Miao people's medical skills and witchcraft, have all been extremely mysterious in the eyes of the Chinese people.

But unexpectedly, Yin Qi arrived there with full of expectations, but in the end he was slapped in the face by reality.

Disliking the time taken by Hongli and his companions to stop at certain places, Yinqi and Jinzhong separated from the patrol team with their own guards as soon as they left the capital.

This way they will not only be faster, but they can also knock out Chen Hu and others at night so that they can go out and earn merit points.

It was also because of this that they, who had secretly arrived at their destination first, accidentally discovered the reality concealed by local officials.

That night, Yinqi and Jinzhong were wandering out as usual. They heard crying not far away. They knew that it was another opportunity to earn merit, so they flew over quickly.

But what he didn't expect to see was a group of Miao people who had no strength and could only endure being beaten, they were skinny and full of despair.

Seeing this, Yin Qi and the other two wished they could skin and bone all the officials on the spot to avenge these Miao people.

Yinqi thought so and actually did so.

When he took out his umbrella sword with red eyes and directly dealt with the dozen or so yamen runners who were whipping some elderly people who collapsed on the ground, Jinzhong finally stepped forward and hugged Yinqi to calm him down.

"Ah Qi, alright, alright, let's calm down, okay?"

Holding Yinqi, whose eyes were red, Jinzhong stroked his fur and coaxed him softly.

"No matter what, this matter must be reported to the emperor before it can be resolved. Even if we get rid of everyone today, if today's incident is not reported, this place will never be completely liberated, and..."

Jin Zhongli looked towards the place where the local officials were stationed and lived in the distance, and continued with a cold smile on his lips.

"Wouldn't it be a bargain for these CS guys if we just eliminated them?"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless ways to make people's lives worse than death flashed through Jinzhong's mind.

Yin Qi, who was flattered, finally came to his senses. The scene just now reminded him of the invasion of the Dragon Kingdom in his previous life.

After coming to his senses, Yinqi released his strength, leaned against Jinzhong, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths.

Jinzhong was right, letting them die so easily was too easy for them, they should also be allowed to experience the punishment from their superiors and live a life where they want to die but cannot.

But when Yin Qi opened his eyes again and looked at the Miao people who were huddled together and trembling in fear, he subconsciously bit his lip, turned around and buried his head in Jinzhong's shoulder, feeling extremely sad.

“I’ve had enough of this place.”

Yinqi's crying voice reached Jinzhong's ears. Jinzhong understood Yinqi's meaning immediately and had to hug him tightly with heartache. He also felt uncomfortable in his heart.

He understood that Yinqi, who had always lived in modern society, could not accept such a ruling class, but this was the case in the imperial era.

People in later generations often say that if the King of Hell orders you to die at three o'clock in the morning, who would dare to keep you alive until five o'clock?

In this era, if a powerful person wants you to die now, no one would dare to spare your life.

Imperial power is supreme and human life is worthless, especially during the Ming and Qing dynasties when power control was most perverted.

Jinzhong just didn't know how to respond to Yinqi's question. After all, no one knew whether they would come to such a world again in the future.

There was no other way, Jinzhong could only comfort her softly with pale words.

“Everything will be fine in the future”

That night, after the two helped bury the Miao people who died tragically, Yinqi left a small bag of silver under the complicated gaze of the Miao people before leaving with Jinzhong.

It’s not that Yin Qi didn’t want to leave them more money, but he was mainly afraid that if he did so, some of them would have some evil thoughts.

By then, if innocent people are killed because of his kindness, it will be too late for Yin Qi to regret.

After the two returned that night, they were not idle. After leaving the scene, they split into two groups. Yinqi went to see other places where Miao people lived to collect information about the people, and Jinzhong went to the garrison to inquire about the identities of the main people and participants.

After the reunion, Yinqi and the other man did not even have time to change their dirty clothes before they finished writing their letters to inquire about the situation that night.

After finishing writing, Yin Qi released a puppet in the shape of a peregrine falcon and asked it to take his letter back to the capital to deliver the message for him.

As for why Yinqi did not use an official responsible for delivering messages.

Haha, the fact that the people here are suffering has been going on for such a long time but the news has not reached the capital. This shows that there is collusion between the local officials and them.

It is even possible that officials from nearby states and counties are involved.

So don’t blame Yin Qi for having to be on guard against these people. Even if Yin Qi trusts them, can he ride a horse faster than the peregrine falcon, which is the fastest bird?

Not to mention that this is Yinqi's puppet falcon. This guy can fly half the speed of a normal peregrine falcon and doesn't need to stop to eat.

Yinqi and the other person left home at around ten o'clock that evening, and returned just before one o'clock.

The average speed of his peregrine falcon was about 200 kilometers per hour. The distance from Guzhou to the capital was more than kilometers. Yinqi's letter could be seen by Yongzheng before he went to court the next day.
