"Don't be so nervous, if I really intend to catch you, I won't let them go first." The sheriff took out the cigarette case from his pocket and fumbled for the lighter with one hand.

"Please don't smoke." Linshu didn't relax his vigilance, but he vaguely sensed the sheriff's intentions.

Yofasa managed to slow down, pulled Linshu's arm to sit up, his red pupils slowly focused on the sheriff's face.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm just trying to make some extra money." The sheriff shrugged and put the cigarette case back.

Linshu understood it, gave Yofasa a warning look, then took out the terminal, and called up one of his private accounts: "Is there a way to safely transfer this money to your own account? I'm not from here People, I will leave tomorrow, and I will definitely not cause you any trouble."

The sheriff raised a smile, walked over to check the balance on that account, it was a little less than he imagined, but Lin Shu didn't look very rich, and troubles might happen if he was in a hurry: "I like witty people people."

During the money exchange between the two, Yofasha finally understood what the sheriff was here for——

He didn't come to rescue himself, but came to collect a hush money from Linshu to suppress this matter!

"I don't care if you are a seller or a buyer. Don't cause trouble in my jurisdiction. Since someone has reported it, I suggest you change hands directly in Tusa." The police chief kindly reminded during the transaction, "This is good for everyone."

"Thank you for your suggestion, I will do it." Linshu watched the number on the account cleared with heartache, and was considering whether he could ask the organization for reimbursement, when his arm was suddenly pinched.

He turned his head and saw Yofasa showing sullen emotions for the first time. His scarlet eyes reflected the sheriff's epaulettes. Yofasa endured the dull pain in his lungs and warned: "According to the imperial law, public officials who accept bribes will be sentenced to at least 20 Years in prison, serious circumstances can lead to the death penalty, haven't you considered the consequences?"

The police chief was taken aback for a moment, then covered his mouth and let out a burst of laughter. He choked on himself, coughed several times and asked Linshu, "Young man, is this guy a nobleman in the core city? These ivory towers grow up The little ones are more naive than one."

Linshu didn't answer, he didn't know whether he should tell Yofasha to shut up, so as not to cause more trouble.

But he also wanted the emperor to see with his own eyes the dirty and corrupt side of the empire, not only the plight of the people at the bottom, but also the greed and corruption of the so-called "upper class".

The empire abandoned the useless poor and meticulously supported not only the elite with high moral character, but also this kind of scum in human skin.

"Don't be stupid, how much pressure will I be under when human trafficking occurs in my jurisdiction? It's what I should do if I handle it well. If I don't handle it well, I will be dismissed. It's better to treat it as if it never happened. "

The sheriff bent down and patted Yofasa's face, with a hint of pity in his smile, "You people always think that you are nobler than the poor, isn't it all the same if you are stripped naked? You have two eyes, one mouth, and lungs for breathing. The heart is used to supply blood, so if a bullet passes through, it will still kill you."

Jehofasa blocked his hand, and for the first time he realized that he could not control the status quo. Unlike everything he saw on the throne, this empire was more chaotic than he imagined. This chaos not only From the abandoned poor.

"Okay, I won't bother you..." The sheriff straightened his back, glanced at the money in his account, nodded in satisfaction, and reminded Linshu before leaving, "This kind of naive and stubborn little guy, don't be afraid of me. Wan is optimistic about him, otherwise something might happen."

Yofasa watched the sheriff close the door considerately, and he seemed to have difficulty breathing again, and even felt a little nauseous.

He can't say his identity. He can be a high-status nobleman, but he can't be the missing emperor. He is Zachariah. The matter of Yofasha can only be fed back to the person in charge of these matters in the imperial capital through specific channels. , or make the imperial capital aware of his whereabouts through a roundabout way.

What's more, even if he told others that he might not believe it, he would easily annoy the rebel army beside him. If this guy didn't kill himself, it didn't mean he wouldn't kill others. If he could sneak into the palace and kidnap the emperor, his fighting power would definitely not be too bad.

"Jofasha..."

Linshu pressed Yofasa's shoulder, he saw that Yofasa was depressed, but he didn't know what to say.

It was he who gave the sheriff hush money, ruining Yofasa’s hope of asking for help, and then went to persuade Yofasa not to be sad, and it seemed unkind to open up a little bit.

But Yofasa's appearance was so distressing, Linshu decided to make up for him better.

After a long time, Yofasa slowly lowered his head, and the blond hair on both sides slid down from his shoulders, covering his side face: "His salary is obviously very high, and the empire gives good treatment to public officials. Ask for extra pay and don’t do anything.”

"This is also one of the reasons why our rebel army exists." Linshu never thought of persuading Yofasha to abandon the dark side and become the biggest boy in the empire. What's the problem? At this moment, for no reason, he had the idea that he might not be able to change Yofasha's concept.

But his eloquence is very poor, it is better to leave this kind of work of instigating rebellion to professionals.

That night Linshu sat with Yofasa until very late before going to bed, and Yofasa's cold worsened when he got up in the morning, and he was groggy and coughed occasionally.

Linshu put on a few more clothes for him, and bid farewell to Cuntou and the others after breakfast. Last night's episode made the hospitable Harry brothers and sisters afraid to invite them to stay longer. After providing some noteworthy information nearby, they sent Linshu So they leave.

A cold, which is not a big deal for ordinary people, is particularly worrying for Yofasa.

For various reasons, Linshu originally planned to avoid Tusa and continue marching in the wilderness, only resupplying in small villages and towns, but he had to go to the nearest city after a day.

Yofasa's condition is getting worse. If he starts to have a fever, it will be very fatal to him with weak heart and lung function.

Tusa is a rare city that lacks systematic management. The residential areas of the poor at the bottom and the people of the upper class are not clearly distinguished. The urban structure is loose, the population is complex, and the crime rate remains high all year round. It is foreseeable that Tusa will be abandoned by the empire in the future.

It was precisely because of the chaos in Tusa that there were also rebel strongholds here. Linshu decided to seek help from the rebel army in Tusa. He said hello in advance, and when he arrived, there would be medical staff to treat Yofasha.

Two days later, Enoch, the head of Tusa's rebel army, came to pick him up in person, and led Linshu to an office building in the downtown area of ​​Tusa.

Enoch looks like an elderly businessman, with a suit and leather shoes, a cigar with him, and a beard.

He is engaged in financial-related work on the surface, but he is secretly involved in the gray industry. He has certain connections with local gangs and is one of the fund providers for the rebel army.

"The timing of your arrival is not very good." Enoch pinched his brows.

His secretary poured Linshu a cup of coffee, and then exited the reception room with self-knowledge.

"What's the matter?" Linshu added two cubes of sugar to the coffee. He didn't have a specific position in the rebel army, but his qualifications were very old and he had completed many key missions. The status of the rebel army is not low, and Enoch can only be regarded as his junior.

"You know Tusa's story about human trafficking is about to be put on the table?" Enoch said, "Human trafficking, combined with the custom industry... The empire turns a blind eye to this, and here Dirtier than the previous two years."

Linshu stayed in Tusa for a while two years ago, he nodded and signaled Enoch to continue.

"No one wants this kind of industry to continue, even if it is really profitable - we will take care of what the government doesn't care about."

Enoch leaned on the back of the sofa and stroked his forehead, "We plan to take down Anandalong Lianwo, the largest human trafficking organization in Tusa, and then gradually crack down on other small organizations."

"Which step is it now?" Linshu asked.

"Our people have already infiltrated, and the key is these few days." Enoch said, "So you came at the wrong time. I have some involvement with them here, and I don't have the energy to take care of your affairs. It may be mine. The values ​​are wrong, I don't think one emperor is more important than more commoners."

"You're right." Linshu put down his coffee cup and comforted him, "You don't need to worry about us, as long as you provide medical treatment to cure Yofasha, I don't need other support. When he recovers, I'll take him away alone."

Enoch smiled apologetically at Linshu: "But you still have to pay attention to him, stay two days to observe the situation, and we will take action after you leave."

Linshu nodded: "I'll go out for a while... By the way, you should be gentle with him. He's been very cooperative these few days. Just pretend you didn't hear any weird requests and wait for me when I come back."

Enoch responded, and when Linshu walked to the door, he suddenly reminded: "Lydia is here, do you want to say hello to her?"

"Why is she..." Linshu was about to ask something, and then he thought of the answer, "For this mission?"

"Well, her words are safer."

"I'll talk about it when I get back." Linshu twisted his face and waved his hands, "Give me an umbrella, it's raining outside."
