Doomsday Code

Chapter 381 Mercy

When they reached the exit of the cave, Chen Cheng and the others were still wondering if there would be a third cell. After all, the eldest prince was not seen in either of the two cells.

Although Huidun hated the eldest prince very much and no longer had any brotherly feelings towards him, he still had to save him when the time came.

Otherwise, when I return, I will inevitably be branded as someone who betrayed my elder brother.

Not seeing the eldest prince, Huidun went forward to ask.

"I wonder if these are all the cells where my people are being held, Elder. But I remember there is one person missing from among them."

No one expected that Huidun would ask about the whereabouts of the eldest prince at this time.

To be honest, the people who resented these people the most right now were not the moles, but the eldest prince who attacked them for no reason that night.

If it weren't for his recklessness, they would not have been captured by these gophers without any preparation.

Although those who knew Huidun's plan hated the eldest prince, they couldn't help but feel indignant for Huidun when they thought that Huidun could still ask about his whereabouts.

They all came from prominent families, and they knew very well the difficulties Huidun had suffered from the eldest prince and his men in the royal capital before he went to his fiefdom.

And now Huidun can repay evil with kindness. It can be said that Huidun's personal charm has risen several levels at this moment.

In fact, according to what Huidun said before, it was good enough for him to ask this question, but then he still hesitated and asked:

"I wonder if the elder was..."

The old mole originally didn't want to talk about the eldest prince, but when he heard Huidun ask about it, and seeing that he seemed to care about that person, he immediately explained:

"He attacked the king for no reason that night and was originally going to be executed. However, because the two benefactors performed great merits, the king gave up the idea of executing him and only detained him in a new cell."

Then the old mole was surprised again:

"But we know from the torture that he has been given that he probably doesn't know anything about cotton weaving. I wonder why you asked him about this..."

At this moment, those who knew the plan felt their hearts aching, fearing that this old mole would change his mind and start to suspect them.

At this time, Huidun sighed and said:

"That man is my eldest brother, so...I haven't seen my brother, so I asked this question."

The old mole now understood the reason and nodded.

"Don't worry, now that we know he is our benefactor's brother, we will treat him well and will never let him get hurt again."

Seeing that the old mole had revealed the matter, Huidun's heart finally settled down.

Although he hated the elder brother who regarded him as an enemy, he somehow still asked that question in the end.

Chen Cheng, who was standing by and watching Huidun's changing expression, knew that Huidun was not yet a political machine that had truly lost all conscience.

No matter how much he hated the eldest prince, he still had a blood brotherhood in his heart.

If you are a bystander and think that he is indecisive, you should just kill your big brother.

However, Chen Cheng, who was in the middle of the situation, was very happy to see his expression of emotion.

No one wants the person they assist to be a cold-blooded and heartless person. Such a person would be too cruel to himself and others.

It can be said that being involved in the political vortex of Huidun's struggle for the throne made this science and engineering man in his previous life gradually pay attention to certain schools of thought that he had learned in his previous life.

As a ruler, the doctrine of the mean is truly the best solution for oneself, the people of the world, and the world.

Those who have truly learned the doctrine of the mean know how beneficial this philosophy is in governing a country.

The most typical example of violating the doctrine of the mean is Japan. After the Meiji Restoration, the country turned to the West, and the entire country fell into a kind of empty frenzy.

Then the whole country began a century of sinful gamble on the country's destiny.

They launched a war against Korea, knowing that it was a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty at the time.

According to the comparison of various economic and military data at that time, the Qing Dynasty was in a crushing position against Japan.

However, they began to gamble on the country's destiny, but because of the incompetence of the Qing court, they won the gamble.

Then the entire country was heading towards an irreversible death.

We gambled the fate of the country with Tsarist Russia, defeated Tsarist Russia in the Far East, and gained the initiative in the Northeast.

Then he gambled on the country's destiny and went to war with China, causing China to suffer from the ravages of war.

At this moment, the gambler's decline was already apparent. Without restraint, he started another round of big gambling.

Go south to South Asia and east to Pearl Harbor.

For every gambler who falls into madness, the outcome is already predetermined. When they lose the final bet, they not only hurt themselves, but also hurt people from other nationalities in the world.

And if this crazy country had a leader who adhered to the doctrine of the mean at the beginning, perhaps he would not have caused such great evil later.

The same is true of the world Chen Cheng lives in today. The real hegemony, the Thorn Flower Empire has come to an end, many emerging forces have risen, and the world war belonging to this world is on the verge of breaking out.

Suppress the unnecessary thoughts. They are still in prison now, and it is useless to think too much about national affairs.

Looking at these people being taken away for questioning one by one by Old Gopher, what we need to consider now is the next plan.

Fortunately, Monet was smart enough and had already considered all the unexpected situations for Chen Cheng and the others, so he taught these people some knowledge of identification in the cell.

And this old mole also learned about this from Chen Cheng and the others, and he is also a half-baked person, so this is more than enough to deal with him.

Unexpectedly, the few people brought into the second cell all really knew about cotton, and they all passed the questioning of Old Rat.

If Chen Cheng and his colleagues asked these people about their hometowns, they would know why they all knew about cotton.

These people are all large families from the northwestern provinces of the kingdom, and the kingdom's main cotton producing areas are in the northwestern provinces.

The big families here train their younger generations not only to develop their strength, but also to develop them in all aspects.

Therefore, we naturally need to understand cotton, this important pillar industry.

The old mole didn't expect that there were so many people among these people who knew about cotton. Perhaps with their help, he could really find the seeds quickly.

Especially the one called Monet, as he said before, he is also an expert in growing cotton.

He still needs to ask him more about this.

So in the following time, the old gopher followed Monet and asked him about cotton planting.

Although this old mole is somewhat greedy for power, he also has a positive attitude towards this new technology and is eager to recruit talents.

It can be said that this is indeed a microcosm of a simple era.
