Chapter Seventy-Nine: Misunderstanding
The owner of the village claimed that when Lu Jianping killed the monk, he took with him the books that recorded the distribution of good land.
This move not only made Lu Jianping a street rat that everyone in Chenxu Town shouted and beaten, but also forced the people of Chenxu Town to a dead end.
At this delicate moment, the owner of the village proposed to build a city wall.
The people who are destined to delay spring planting have no choice at all, they can only rely on work to earn money to buy food to make a living.
The annual income of ordinary people is only three or four taels of silver, and on average, it is only about ten cents a day.
The wages given by the owner of the village are very generous, and anyone will be tempted.
With this move, the owner of the village tied all the people to his chariot.
Lu Jianping didn't know the true purpose of the owner of the village, but he knew that the owner of the village was not a good person, and Lu Jianping felt that behind the owner's move, there must be a terrible conspiracy.
In order to avoid the people of Chenxu Town from being deceived, after Lu Jianping learned the news, he immediately searched for the traces of the owner of the village in Chenxu Town, and intended to kill the owner of the village.
As long as the owner of the village dies, everything will end, and no matter what the real purpose of the owner of the village is, his plot will fail.
Lu Jianping carefully searched the traces of the owner of the village, but unfortunately, because the people spontaneously helped the owner of the village to hide, Lu Jianping failed to find any clues from beginning to end.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
On this day, it was the day when the city wall was broken and the construction began, and most of the people in Chenxu Town gathered outside the city gate to watch the ceremony held in Yunyin Village.
On the city wall, a monk from Yunyin Village spoke loudly with spittle, and the people below looked solemn and listened very seriously.
"In the past, the land in Chenxu Town belonged to the Li family, and people worked hard, but most of the final harvest was taken away by the Li family. The owner of the village was both benevolent and righteous, and could not bear the continued exploitation of the people, so he distributed the land to everyone and exempted all taxes. Some people are unwilling to let everyone live a good life, so they oppose Yunyin Village and make enemies of the owner of the village, which eventually leads to this year's spring planting, which is completely delayed. The owner of the village built a new city wall, on the one hand, to expand the scope of Chenxu Town, so that we can live a better life, and on the other hand, it is also to let you who are unable to plant in spring and harvest in autumn get a way to live. The bright future of Chenxu Town is entirely due to the owner of the village, and I hope that everyone will believe in the owner of the village without reservation, and follow the guidance of the owner of the village to embark on the right path......"
The monk blamed Lu Jianping for the delay in spring planting.
At the same time, he regarded the construction of the city wall as an act of benevolence by the owner of the wall.
After listening to the monk's words, the ignorant people hated Lu Jian to the core, expressed their approval of the hidden conspiracy to build the city wall, and gave birth to more worship for the owner of the village.
Seeing that these people are becoming more and more fond of these guys who harbor evil intentions in Yunyin Village, and they are becoming more and more hostile to themselves, a good person, Lu Jianping became furious.
"Shut up, I didn't take the books that recorded the distribution of fertile land with me, and it was entirely your fault that the redistribution of the fields caused the spring planting to be delayed. You are building the city wall, obviously to carry out an even more terrible conspiracy!" Lu Jianping quickly rushed to the city wall, slapped the monk who spoke to the ground, and then looked at the people and said loudly, "Rebuilding the city wall is a big project, if the owner of the village really wants to expand Chenxu Town, why not come forward to the abbot ceremony?"
The people preconceived that the owner of the village was a good person with both ability and political integrity, and Lu Jianping was a heinous bad person.
Most of the people didn't believe Lu Jianping's clarification of the facts in the first half, and most of them thought that Lu Jianping's rebuttal was just a lie.
Lu Jianping understood what the people were thinking, so he used the fact that the owner of the village did not show up to break through the people's mental defense.
It stands to reason that for such a major event as the expansion of Chenxu Town, the owner of the village, as the actual controller of Chenxu Town, must come forward to the abbot ceremony.
The failure of the owner of the village to come forward in this situation is equivalent to the failure of the chairman at the founding ceremony, which is really unreasonable.
As Lu Jianping expected, after listening to the second half of Lu Jianping's words, many people with flexible minds showed suspicious looks.
Just when the people were talking about it, a middle-aged man standing in the middle of the crowd suddenly burst into laughter.
"The distribution of land and the exemption of taxes will allow the people to live a good life, but it will make it impossible for the monks who oppress and exploit the people to continue to obtain all kinds of materials. The reason why you sow discord and deliberately frame me is clearly to force me to leave the Void Moon Valley. After I leave, you can continue to fish the people, and continue to loot the people's fat and ointment. Anyone can figure out your little thoughts, and you don't have to fool us people with any more rhetoric!"
The person who spoke was full of energy, although he was far away from Lu Jianping, but the voice clearly came into Lu Jianping's ears.
Although he didn't know what the owner of the village looked like, Lu Jianping was sure that the person in front of him was the owner of Yunyin Village.
When the owner of the village spoke, he revealed a heroic atmosphere, and the surrounding people were infected by this temperament and immediately believed the words of the owner of the village.
Every monk in the Tianxuan Continent will accumulate wealth by collecting taxes.
The division of land is exempt from taxation, and such an act violates the interests of every monk, and every monk will block it.
If it weren't for the fact that the strength of Xuyue Valley had been greatly weakened, and only the two monks of the Great Elder and Lu Jianping were left, the owner of the village would definitely not dare to rashly divide the land and exempt them from taxes.
The land is exempt from taxation, the people are the gainers, the monks are the losers, and the people naturally regard Lu Jianping as an enemy.
"No matter how clever you are, it can't change the fact that you are a thief, and you must contain a terrible conspiracy to buy people's hearts with hypocrisy and righteousness. In order to prevent innocent people, who are deceived by you, and end up being harmed, I have decided to kill you!"
Lu Jianping didn't know how to persuade the people, and he couldn't force the owner of the village to tell the truth.
In desperation, Lu Jianping decided to kill the owner of the village and fundamentally put an end to this conspiracy.
As long as the owner of the village is dead, Yunyin Village will fall apart, and no matter what the conspiracy of Yunyin Village is, the plan of the owner of the village will fail.
Lu Jianping jumped lightly, jumped off the city wall, and then rushed towards the owner of the village quickly.
"Stop him!"
"The owner of the village is a good person, we can't let him hurt the owner of the village!"
"Everyone, get on the shoulders and kill this damn bastard!"
Seeing Lu Jianping's actions, people rushed towards Lu Jianping.
These people have been deceived by the false benevolence and hypocrisy of the owner of the village, and they are bent on the owner of the village, and they will show the weak enemy of Lu Jianping.
They were divided into two groups, one of them protected the owner of the village, and some of them besieged Lu Jianping.
If Lu Jianping didn't care about the lives of the people, he would definitely be able to fight to the death with the owner of the village, but the people crowded together would at least have hundreds of casualties.
Lu Jianping hesitated slightly, then chose to turn around and leave.
"Someday, you'll regret it!"
Lu Jianping put down a sentence, and then ran towards the forest not far away, and it didn't take long for him to disappear without a trace.
