"Guogong, the people in Jingshi City are panicking. It is rumored that the imperial court has no money, and it is all supported by the money of the raider, so no matter who commits the crime now, it is the result of the raid! ”

As soon as Zhang Mingwei returned to the back office, he heard the announcement of the captain of the Jinyi Guard, and couldn't help asking, "When did these rumors start?" ”

"Just today!" The plainclothes brocade guard, who was in charge of patrolling the streets, hurriedly said, "No one has heard of it before, but today it has spread." ”

Speaking of which, he also added in detail, "They cited a few examples, and also said that the national policy of tax exemption before the imperial court, and so on, it is a rumor, it is the meaning of the national prince, if you look at the money of ordinary people, whoever has more money will find a crime and deduct it, and then they will raid the house and behead it." ”

Although this is indeed the case, at this stage, it is necessary to rely on the investigation of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, local tyrants and inferior gentry to get through this period of no money. However, after the raid on Chen Xinjia, these words spread as soon as they spread, it was obvious that someone was pushing behind them.

Zhang Mingwei thought so in his heart, and suddenly frowned.

This is not the first time this has happened! Before, when the refugees in Fangshan County were looted and killed, there were rumors in Beijing. If it weren't for his peculiar background, his deep trust of the emperor, and an ordinary person, it would definitely be very troublesome.

As soon as this kind of rumor spreads, it is really a relatively dangerous thing for hundreds of civil and military officials to be impeached together on the basis of the turbulent public sentiment.

Things can be one or two, this kind of thing, absolutely can't be so laissez-faire anymore!

Zhang Mingwei, who came from later generations, naturally knew that public opinion was very well controlled.

This kind of rumor, if you want to keep them from spreading, that's impossible. The more severe the prohibition, the more vigorous it will be. The most effective way is to control the dominance of public opinion.

However, for the time being, it is still quite difficult to control the dominance of public opinion. It's not that if you send someone to the streets and alleys to say something, others will listen to you.

If you want to dominate the control of public opinion, you must have a channel that most people can trust. In this way, no matter how much other people with bad intentions stir up, it will not be possible to set off much of a storm. If we crack down hard, we will be able to control public opinion.

Moreover, this control of public opinion cannot only be in Beijing, but must be in all parts of the country. Otherwise, there will be problems as well.

With this kind of control of public opinion in hand, there will be the right to interpret the implementation of the national policy of the imperial court in the future, and it will not be what those scholars say, it will be what it is!

Thinking of this, Zhang Mingwei decided to do this thing no matter how busy he is now. Because if you do it well, you can do things for him to get twice the result with half the effort.

If you don't do this thing, it is obviously a great thing, but it can be understood by others as a bad thing, so if you don't implement it, or even disobey it or simply resist it, it will involve a lot of energy, and you will get twice the result with half the effort.

How to do this, Zhang Mingwei actually has a spectrum in his heart. However, at the moment, manpower is tight, and he can't think of anyone who is suitable to take the lead in this matter.

After thinking for a while, he called someone to pass on Zhou Wenzhen.

As a result, before the Jinyi guard who went to call went out of the yamen, Zhou Wenzhen came over by himself.

"Guogong, the situation in Jingshi is a little bad!" As soon as Zhou Wenzhen saw Zhang Mingwei, he hurriedly saluted, and then couldn't wait to say, "Many people are packing up softly, it seems that they want to escape from Jingshi!" ”

"......" Zhang Mingwei was stunned when he heard it, but he quickly reacted, I don't know if this is the result of those rumors.

Sure enough, I heard Zhou Wenzhen continue, "The officials who were removed by the emperor before were removed together with Chen Xinjia, all because of the impeachment of the Duke of Guo. There are quite a few people moving today. They couldn't leave on their own, so they let their families pack up and leave Beijing. The car and horse shop driven by the villain has already had many people come to ask for a car. If it weren't for the big movement, these people would have enough cars and horses in their own houses. But come to the villain's side, it means that they have a lot of things to ship! ”

Speaking of this, he saw Zhang Mingwei's concerned expression, and his heart was happy, so he hurriedly added, "The villain feels that the situation is not right, so he pays special attention to the things related to you and asks about the situation." It just so happened that Grandpa Guo, you asked those Jin merchants to be monitored. I found that many of the rumors in the Jingshi were rumors spread by those Jin merchants. ”

Zhang Mingwei frowned, and when he heard this, he asked, "What other rumors?" Well, is it for me, or is it for the DPRK? ”

Zhou Wenzhen heard this, and immediately replied, "Yes, there are still some rumors that the Guogong was just looking for those who were officials before, and now even the owner of the Huang Ji Money Shop has been transferred to the Imperial Prison, because the money of the imperial court is not enough, and the rich people in Jingshi, even if they don't offend the Guogong, they have to start." Otherwise, how could the owner of the Huang Ji money shop be imprisoned if he didn't offend the national prince? ”

"Hehe, this is trying to use public opinion to force Jinyiwei to release people?" When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he couldn't help but sneer.

When Zhou Wenzhen heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Grandpa Guo, is there really such a thing?" ”

Chen Xinjia was arrested, that is a fact, because his mansion was surrounded by Jinyi guards, and the raids could be seen.

However, Huang Yunfa was in Chen Xinjia's mansion at the time, and he was arrested after dark, and ordinary people absolutely did not know that Huang Yunfa was arrested. Therefore, what Zhou Wenzhen said about Huang Yunfa just now is a rumor. However, he was a little surprised when he heard Xingguogong's tone, as if it was true.

Zhang Mingwei listened, nodded and said, "Yes, there is such a thing, he happened to be in Chen Xinjia's mansion, and he was arrested and put in prison together, but by mistake, he has been tried by me to solve a big case." ”

Speaking of which, seeing Zhou Wenzhen's somewhat unbelieving look, Zhang Mingwei explained casually, "I asked you to spy on those Jin merchants a long time ago, just because I knew that they had committed a big crime, but there was no evidence for a while, so I didn't move them." ”

Even Zhou Wenzhen's expression just now felt a little like the money of Jin Shang. It can be seen that these rumors released by Jin Shang are really demagogic.

The reason is simple, because they are telling the truth. It's just that the reason is wrong. However, how many people will believe the reason and find out the reason?

At this moment, another captain of the Jinyi guard hurriedly came over and said to Zhang Mingwei, "My lord, the brothers at the gate of the city have a report that the carriages and horses that go out of the city are full of property. They don't know if it's going to be intercepted? ”

If it is intercepted, it will be more able to confirm that those rumors are true, and the hearts of the Jingshi people will be even more panicked! When the time comes, not only will the target person run away with the money, but even the non-target person will run away with the money.

Don't underestimate this kind of panic, it's really going to make a big fuss, and it will greatly affect the livelihood and stability of the people in Beijing.

I have to say that this trick to create panic is very damaging and difficult to deal with.

Zhang Mingwei was thinking about it, and suddenly, someone outside came to report, saying that Liu Zongzhou, the imperial history of the left capital, was visiting.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is responsible for supervision, and his sudden visit is needless to say that it has something to do with it!

However, Liu Zongzhou is now a person from Zhang Mingwei's side, so he did not slack off and personally greeted him.

Sure enough, as soon as they met, they saw Liu Zongzhou and said to him with a worried face, "Guogong, this case of arresting Chen Xinjia also implicated Huang Yunfa, the owner of Huang Ji Money Shop?" ”

Regarding the arrest of Chen Xinjia, Zhang Mingwei had already ventilated in the Wenhua Hall before. Therefore, everyone in the Wenhua Hall at that time knew why Chen Xinjia was arrested. But they don't know about Huang Yunfa.

Although Zhang Mingwei mentioned that there were businessmen, he did not specify what kind of businessmen he was.

At this time, I heard Liu Zongzhou and Zhang Mingwei walking to the lobby, and at the same time, he was a little anxious, and he didn't wait for the lobby to sit down and speak, so he continued, "Now the people of Jingshi are panicking, those who were arrested by mistake, are they released first?" And Chen Xinjia's case, it was immediately announced that it had been according to the will of the people. ”

Zhang Mingwei listened, just shook his head and said, "Do you think that if you do it now, those people will not transfer money?" ”

The power of rumors and rumors lies in the fact that these things can come very suddenly, but it takes a long time to get rid of them. It's like being sick, the so-called illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread.

Liu Zongzhou listened, although he felt that Xingguo Gong made sense, but he still said, "No matter what, it's better to do it than not to do it." Otherwise, the rich people in Jingshi have escaped, is this still Jingshi? Your Majesty's face, where to put it? ”

If the rich people in Jingshi fled, it would not only affect the people's livelihood, but it would definitely be a very big blow to Emperor Chongzhen's reputation.

It was also for this reason that Liu Zongzhou came in a hurry.

Of course, Zhang Mingwei also knows this, but he is not flustered. At this time, he had already arrived in the lobby, and after he sat down, he asked people to serve tea before he said to Liu Zongzhou, "Before, didn't I say that there was a case of a businessman being captured?" Now it's been tried! ”

"What, so fast?" Liu Zong couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard it on Monday, and then confirmed with surprise.

Zhang Mingwei nodded when he heard this, and when he was about to speak, a Jinyi guard lieutenant hurriedly entered and said to Zhang Mingwei, "My lord, that Huang Yunfa has confessed, and the confession is here!" ”

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he couldn't help but be a little happy, and immediately took it and looked at it. But I'm still a little unaccustomed. There's no way, I've been used to simplified Chinese for more than 20 years, and it's a bit difficult to change it.

But after sweeping it, you can probably see the situation. Then, he happily said to Liu Zongzhou, "I said before that there were merchants, but in fact, it meant Jin merchants. This Huang Yunfa is one of them. Here's his confession, come and see! ”

Liu Zong was overjoyed when he heard it on Monday, so he hurriedly went to take it and took a quick look. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and finally raised his head and said to Zhang Mingwei with emotion: "It's no wonder that these businessmen are driven by money and have done so many things that are beneficial to Jianwei!" ”

After sighing, he still remembered the purpose of coming, so he hurriedly said, "Grandpa Guo, why don't you announce it immediately to solve the rebellion in Beijing?" ”

Zhang Mingwei listened and shook his head, now is not the time to make an announcement.
