Liu Yuan knelt in front of Wu Zheng and said, "What the adults said is, revenge must be repaid, and debt must be repaid! As long as the adults can avenge their parents, the students confess their own things they do."

"Then let's say it."

"In this month, I contacted neighbors no less than ten times, at least dozens of people and hundreds of people. I surrounded Shangyuan Yamen three times (Eight counties under Yingtian Prefecture, Shangyuan County is one of them), smashed and robbed the post office once... and set fire to burn houses on the Qinhuai River once."

"You have grudges, and it is reasonable to target the government office. But the houses on the Qinhuai River are all shops or houses, so can you do it?"

"Sir, burning a house is not a student's envoy, but the people's sentiment is together, and the students can't control it."

Wu Zheng was stunned and "Continue to talk."

"The night when the Jinchuan Gate was broken, students brought hundreds of people to Lishui County... At that time, civil unrest broke out in all counties, and students took the opportunity to bring dozens of people into the house of Chen Zhongkui's dog thief... and lit his house, but it didn't burn in the end."

“Is there any more?”

"I also killed the Chen family with my own hands."

"Chen Zhongkui?"

"No...No, Chen Zhongkuina's dog thief was not at home that night, and said he went to the imperial city and I killed a woman."

Wu Zheng frowned and said, "You don't kill Chen Zhongkui, let alone women and children."

"What's wrong with killing his family if Chen Zhongkui is not here?"

"How do you know it's his family?"

"It is impossible for a servant to dress so luxuriously... Even if it is not his wife, he is his concubine."

“Is there any more?”

"No...no, no more, no more. The students still hope that the adults will avenge their parents, and they will never dare to deceive them."

Wu Zheng asked these questions not the point. In fact, Wu Zheng already understood one thing, that is, this civil chaos is not accidental, but inevitable.

Because some people are encouraging the public, there will not be only one person who gives Liu Yuan twenty taels.

"Have you ever found someone who gave you money?"

Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "No, it has never appeared since that night."

"Then do you see his appearance clearly?"

"It's dark at night, I didn't see it very clearly, but I'll definitely recognize it when I see you again."

"Oh, that man looks unique?"

"No, it's the man's voice that is easy to recognize. His voice is particularly uncomfortable when he hears it, just like a scratch on an iron tool, making people feel panicked."

Wu Zheng no longer bothered about this because that person could not be a big shot, at most he was just a pawn. It was impossible for a person who built such a big picture to come forward in person.

Wu Zheng became silent, he was thinking.

This is a not-so-savvy scam, and it can even be said to be clumsy.

If you use your brain a little, you will understand. Just imagine, if there is such a good thing as a pie falling from the sky, how could it be the turn of ordinary people?

If the silver in the bank account grows white and is too much to be used up, wouldn’t it be easier to deposit it directly on the Ministry of Revenue’s money house? Is it easier to use it to the people and make a big fuss?

Unfortunately, there are always so many people who will be deceived. This is not because the people are ignorant at this time. Even if there are so many people in the city, with a population of more than 100,000, the population of Yingtian Prefecture exceeds one million, and most people are not deceived. What does that mean is that the people who have not been deceived have a scale in their hearts.

Of course, it is no wonder that even if compulsory education is popularized hundreds of years later and illiteracy is eliminated, you will still be deceived. This has nothing to do with common sense, but only with human nature - greed!

People who are not greedy for cheap things will not be deceived. This sentence has been made clear from ancient times to the present.

Therefore, Wu Zheng came here this time just to wipe the butt for the court, and never thought of seeking justice for these deceived people.

It’s not that Wu Zheng was cruel, but in Wu Zheng’s view, some corrupt officials of the Ministry of Revenue colluded with some unscrupulous businessmen in the capital, and took advantage of the emperor’s extensive embezzlement of money and bank savings, and launched a scam of plundering people’s wealth, which was indeed a great crime.

But on the other hand, these deceived people are also at fault. One is that human nature is too greedy, and the other is that people are in chaos, which almost caused the Yixing Dynasty to collapse.

This is not an ordinary petition, but a riot!

For this scam, corrupt officials and unscrupulous businessmen account for most of the blame and should be severely punished!

But the people's own faults are not low, they must at least lose 30% and cannot be tolerated.

So, Wu Zheng just wanted to clarify the truth, settle the matter, and then patted his butt and left.

There is no time to waste on this matter, and Hangzhou Prefecture is still waiting for itself to deal with more things!

Also, Wu Zheng had decided on the way to come that he would never spend a tael of silver to fill it in this pit. If he really did this, he would only trap the General's Mansion together, more than 20 million taels, which was an astronomical figure for the several prefectures under his jurisdiction.

There is no need to do so much. The Finance Department only needs to withdraw five million taels of cash, which is enough to make it bankrupt.

Because Wu Zheng has been using other people's money in the future, in the words of later generations, it is leverage.

For example, when building a new city and using the unowned wasteland to raise huge amounts of funds, the merchants at this time are not fools, they are definitely not inferior to those of later generations, and even more so.

Why are they willing to throw silver into this wasteland that Wu Zheng has confined? It is nothing more than Wu Zheng. They have already vaguely seen Wu Zheng's future.

Although they do not know the word "investment", they do it no less than later economists.

Two thousand years ago, Lu Buwei, the 23rd generation grandson of Jiang Ziya, completed a successful investment that was unprecedented and unparalleled.

Therefore, Wu Zheng did not agree with Zhu Ma's willingness to "save" Yixingchao's finances.

Just as Huang Daozhou said, selling the money house in the Ministry of Revenue is enough, hehe... Wu Zheng would never mind doing another evil thing of "robbing the rich and helping the poor".

This has nothing to do with right or wrong, good or evil. In Wu Zheng's view, if one party must be offended, then the number of people will be offended.

This may be a "common problem" of education for time travelers. There are many people and great power in nature.

Listening to Liu Yuan’s statement, although Wu Zheng was so nervous, the first thing he thought of was that a pitiful person must have something hateful!

Liu Yuan looked at Wu Zheng calmly, and he was also surprised that he had met this official, so why did he trust him so much?

But Liu Yuan still believed that the official in front of him, who seemed a few years younger than him, would definitely help him take revenge. Even if Liu Yuan knew, perhaps this official would punish him after helping him take revenge.

Liu Yuan did not regret it because he knew that only such an official could truly help him.

Zheng Yijin and a few looked at Liu Yuan nervously, then Wu Zheng, and finally Yue Xiaolin and Lu Jincai.

They obviously felt that the invisible pressure from these two people, as if they would be slashed whenever they had any abnormal movements.
