Commoners. Especially the people of this land. They have a lot in common. One of them. It's that they're so easy to receive. It's okay to say it's an infection. It's not a demagoguery. In a word. As long as there is some truth in what others say. These people will believe. Now. These people will gather in front of the inn. I want to ask Zhang Fan for an explanation. That's pretty telling.

But at the same time. They don't just have that one thing in common. There are others. One of them. They are all afraid of the government. They are all afraid of the people who are in office. I don't know if it's because the people who are officials are more majestic. The power is relatively large. This is the kind of situation that has been cultivated over time; Or have they been oppressed for too long? This understanding has long been formed in my heart. But. Either way. People. Still afraid of officials.

Some might say. If that's the case. Then it is unlikely that anyone will rise up and revolt. Since they are afraid of the government. Then it's better to live under oppression. Where else do you need to get up and make trouble? But this is not the case. Otherwise, the chances of a change of dynasty. It's also extremely small.

But. That kind of situation. But it's different from now. Those are the people who are really oppressed and have no way to live normally. After that, there were a few more good deeds. Or those who have new village ambitions. Stand up and preach a few words. Afterwards. The thing about the rebellion of the tree banner. And it became a matter of course.

But it's different now. These people have not yet been forced to rebel. Even in reality. They are now eating and drinking. There is another place to sleep. What came to fight for. It's just your own money. And at this time. It's not just money. In a word. These people are today. There is no such reason. That's it. They will still be afraid of those who are in office.

In this case. They are still afraid. Zhang Fan stood up and spoke. Naturally, these people will listen. And because their interests are at stake. These people will also listen very attentively.

And the first thing Zhang Fan said. And it's not just telling them a fact. More important is Zhang Fan's words. It also made them think about it.

Though they are all people. Ninety percent of them have no culture. There are many who have never read a book. Illiterate people. But there is no knowledge in books. But that doesn't mean they're stupid. Living in this world. Illiterate for hundreds of years. But human nature. It's already been able to make these people understand a lot of things.

And so it goes. Zhang Fan's words. It made the people think. And that's the result of their thinking. What Zhang Fan said is very reasonable. And so it is. Who is greedy for money? and it will be declared openly to the world. Done something bad. It should be quiet. Muddle. This kind of thing is not to say that it is an official. Or ordinary people. Even a three-year-old knows this.

Merely. This also has limitations. The people could indeed imagine this. But they couldn't understand why Zhang Fan did this. So. Even if they think what Zhang Fan said makes sense. But that doesn't solve the problem of not getting their money.

Therefore. After Zhang Fan finished saying this. The people below began to talk again. And this kind of thing that they can't figure out. It also made their discussion louder and louder.

This time. The time has come for those with bad intentions to realize that they have a role to play. I didn't dare to say it before. It's because there's no one to help them hide their voices. Just make a sound. It's going to be all the same. But now it's different. So many people were talking about it. The sound is getting louder and louder. This gives them a good opportunity to find cover.

"Give us back the money."

"yes. Give the money back. ”

"Come back."

“……”

Immediately. Someone shouted in the crowd. The sound is not loud though. But it can be heard clearly. And for a while, I couldn't find out who was calling it out.

Moreover. With such shouts. Even the rest of the people thought about it. Then they shouted.

And Zhang Fan. Look at the situation below. I don't think there's anything though. And he had expected such a scenario. But this happened to you. It's still a little upsetting. Zhang Fan was turning his head. subconsciously looked at Ding Youyang's gang. He can see it very clearly. The men were all smiling now. Apparently thinking that his plot had succeeded.

"Folks. Please be quiet. Listen to me. Zhang Fan said loudly. Speaking of which. Under this occasion. A person's voice. Even if it is shouted out loud. It's not enough either. After all, there are thousands of people talking down there. But the one standing in front heard it. But it was quiet. And next. This silence is contagious. Slowly. The people in the back also quieted down.

It will be so. Actually, it's because of the money. Now. They haven't gotten the money yet. And I also hope that Zhang Fan will give them an explanation. That's what will be quiet. Otherwise. No matter what Zhang Fan says. None of them will be quiet.

"Today. You're all here. Zhang Fan said. pointed to Liu Xian, Mao Zhengqing and others standing beside him. Said. "General Liu and I are outsiders. Perhaps. You folks won't believe it. But the people of Mao's prefect are also here. In this way. That's what to say.

"Since everyone is asking about money. Then I will tell you clearly. The gang of troublemakers. Altogether from this city of Yongning. More than a million taels of silver were looted. And in this million taels of silver. One hundred thousand taels belonged to the official family. And a hundred thousand taels. It belongs to all the folks. As for the remaining 800,000 taels. I don't think it's going to be explained. You folks also understand whose it is.

"And this whole Yongning mansion. There were more than 10,000 people. Other words. Those people went up from your villages. No one scavenged out ten taels of silver. Ten taels. It's not a small amount. But think about the ten taels of silver. Not everyone is at this number. Just ask. How am I going to give it back to you?

"Deuce. Someone must not agree. Let them say for themselves how many. The folks felt for themselves. Is it possible to do this? ”

Zhang Fan's words were very polite. He didn't say it too clearly. But even so. The people below have also understood. Zhang Fan means that. You will not be honest. When it comes to money. Few people can remain honest.

Originally, the family had more money than ten taels per person. Definitely not too much. And those who fall short. And why wouldn't you take advantage of such an opportunity? Make a small fortune.

The human heart is unpredictable. This is the truth. And now. Even if someone can stand up and say it loudly. I'm definitely not going to lie. Definitely not lie about it. But I'm afraid no one will believe him. Rather than stand up like this and bring shame on yourself. It's better to just leave it at that. Just listen to it.

But that's not all. These people. Even now facing Zhang Fan's questioning. Nothing can be said. But the heart is not so silent. No matter how much he can't say on the surface. But his money has already been taken after all. And he still wants that money now, after all. Now he just didn't have the words to deal with Zhang Fan's words. But that doesn't mean he doesn't want the money.

But. Zhang Fan didn't think about it that much. His purpose. In fact, it is just a matter of telling the people below to stop talking. If they continue to be so noisy. Zhang Fan had no way to speak.

In a word. It's quiet now. And Zhang Fan naturally will not let go of this opportunity. Quickly spoke. "Still. Now there is a good thing. The eight hundred thousand taels of silver. Originally, it was to be returned to its original owner. But. But they said no. ”

"What. Don't. ”

"Eight...... One hundred thousand taels of silver. No...... Don't. ”

“……”

Suddenly. There was another discussion below. And it's louder than before.

Think it would be like that. After all, that's 800,000 taels of silver. This money. Even if it is placed in those rich and noble homes. It's also a lot of money. Not to mention for ordinary people. These 800,000 taels of silver. For them in the end. It's just numbers. They hadn't seen it at all. I don't even dare to think about it.

But though, there was a commotion again because of this. But that didn't give those with the slightest hint a chance to interject. After all, Zhang Fan didn't say anything unfavorable to them now.

As a matter of fact. Zhang Fan said. It's basically blocking their way. Originally. This is a matter of 800,000 taels of silver. It can be said that it is one of their trump cards. Speak up at the right time. The people below will definitely clamore for Zhang Fan to give them an explanation.

But now it's good. Zhang Fan didn't give them a chance to speak at all. He himself said it first.

It's not just that these people get dizzy for a while. I don't even know what to do. Even Ding Youyang's initiators. All of a sudden. I also can't understand Zhang Fan's intentions.

And this time. Ding Youyang: They already feel that something is wrong. Originally, their intentions. I just want to give that silver to Zhang Fan. Wait until Zhang Fan accepts it. They immediately bite back. said that Zhang Fan took advantage of Qincha's identity. Take advantage of the time when the war has just subsided. embezzled a large amount of money without permission.

But now. They also understood. Zhang Fan had no intention of doing this at all. Otherwise. He wouldn't have said anything about it. Or in front of so many people.

And Zhang Fan looked at Ding Youyang and those people. A smile gradually appeared on his face. Continue to speak below. "I've already figured out what I'm going to do with it. And I promise. Let you be satisfied. ”
