Chapter 976: We All Believe in the Fourth Highness
"Bastard thing, what nonsense are you talking about."
Yan Gang was furious.
Uncle took away the merchant and the silver? Isn't that?
Even if the businessman counts, it can barely be said that they went to the southwest because of their uncle's departure, but this is all the businessman's spontaneous behavior, and it has nothing to do with his uncle.
The silver is even more nonsense, when did my uncle take away the silver from Ezhou?
Isn't that nonsense?
Don't talk about him, Lin Bai is all stunned, brother took away the silver from Ezhou?
Brother's silver can't be spent, can he take away Ezhou's silver?
What a deal!
The talented man was a little nervous.
The triangular-eyed man said, "What I said is the truth, I don't believe you asked them." He gestured to the group behind him.
Everyone was obviously much more afraid than him, but they all nodded.
"Ezhou has spread all over the city, and it is said that the king of the southwest took away the merchants and silver, and the new city is unsustainable."
"Not bad!"
"What's good, I think it's a rumor, someone slanders the king of the southwest."
“……”
Among these people, there are many fans of the great talent, and they are unhappy for the big talent.
There are two people looking at the great talent, as if they want to determine whether the great talent is really the king of the southwest, although the reputation of the king of the southwest is resounding all over the country, but there are not many people who have really seen it.
Although Lin Bai came to Ezhou New City last time, there were too many people at that time, except for some people in front, and the back could not be seen clearly.
Boy!
Lin Bai called out to the good guy, is this someone deliberately deducting basins on himself?
The mess in Ezhou can't be contained, so it's pushed on yourself?
Did Lao Zhu do it?
It's not quite like it, although Lao Zhu doesn't want to see him, but he is the king of a country, so he shouldn't use such indiscriminate means! Moreover, this news is obviously recent, and there have been no similar rumors before.
In other words, it was because of his arrival that some people panicked and deliberately slandered?
Lin Bai is really tired, what is the situation of leaving the dynasty, the war in the north is a snow disaster, and the Red Lotus Sect is in turmoil, counting the big thunder of the Ministry of Commerce and the mess here in Ezhou, it can be described as stormy.
As a result, these guys are fine, and they are still busy making themselves uncomfortable.
If it weren't for the sake of a few beautiful ladies and those businessmen and people who trusted him, the talented man would really want to pat his ass and leave.
As for the moment, seeing that these bandits have no shortage of trust in themselves, the great talent has to endure it.
looked at those water bandits and said, "You are all workers in Ezhou New Town?" ”
"Yes!"
The triangular-eyed man said, "We were all forced to take this path because we couldn't survive, and let us go." ”
The crowd behind him echoed him.
Wu Qiaojun's cold gaze swept to the triangular-eyed man, "At least you're not." ”
The triangular-eyed man's eyes flickered, but he said, "Why do you say I'm not?" ”
Wu Qiaojun said coldly: "With the calluses on your right hand, those are the calluses that only people who often hold knives have, and they are ......"
Before she finished speaking, Wu Qiaojun probed casually, and a scimitar suddenly appeared in her hand.
The next moment, the scimitar slashed directly at the triangular eyed man.
The triangular-eyed man's face suddenly changed greatly, and he turned over and dodged instantly, his skills were extremely flexible, and he was obviously a practitioner.
It's just that his movements are a little redundant, because the scimitar did not fall, and Wu Qiaojun's voice sounded again, "Moreover, your skills are obviously not ordinary people." ”
The triangular-eyed man is spotted and tries to escape.
It's a pity that under such circumstances, how could he escape and be directly detained.
Lin Bai waved his hand, "Take it down for interrogation." ”
"Yes!"
Yan Gang immediately took the person down.
Seeing this, the other bandits' faces couldn't help but change drastically, and their expressions became even more frightened.
Lin Bai said: "Don't panic, everyone, this person has ulterior motives, is he inciting you?" ”
The group of water bandits were obviously frightened, they had never seen such a scene, they didn't know how to answer for a while, they might not be sure of the situation, and they didn't want to betray their partners.
Lin Bai smiled and said, "He said that he was a worker in Ezhou New Town, so who among you knows him?" Who has worked with him? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
Sure enough, I didn't know anyone.
The construction site of the new city is so big and there are so many workers, it is normal not to know each other, but if you don't know any of them, then something is obviously wrong.
Lin Bai was actually only suspicious, but looking at everyone's expressions, he already knew it in his heart.
He said, "Still don't understand? Eighty percent of this person is from the Red Lotus Sect, deliberately inciting you to make trouble, so that you will be charged with crimes, and there is no way back but to rebel with them. ”
What!
Hearing the rebellion, the faces of the group all changed, and their expressions were full of fear.
After all, rebellion is a major crime for the Nine Clans.
"My lord, I ...... We didn't think about rebellion, we really couldn't survive anymore, and we were forced to rob when we were desperate. ”
"Yes, yes! All of us were forced to go to the yamen to ask for wages, but the yamen not only refused to pay us, but also beat us up, saying that we had gathered a crowd to make trouble, arrested many people, and it is said that we had killed several people, saying that it was the Red Lotus Sect. ”
“……”
A group of water bandits told.
Lin Bai understood that Ezhou had stopped paying wages for a while, and during this period, some people went to ask for wages, but there was no result.
At first, it was perfunctory, and later some people were beaten.
Not only that, but the yamen also asked the workers to rush to work.
Until recently, the matter became more and more troublesome, and the workers of Xincheng collectively went to the yamen to ask for wages, but what awaited them were countless officers and soldiers, who arrested many people, said that they were Red Lotus Sect, and killed people.
As for whether it was the Red Lotus Sect or not, these people didn't know, anyway, what it said was what.
These people can be regarded as seeing through it, and if they continue like this, they will not only not be paid, but they may not even be able to save their lives.
They didn't want to have anything to do with the Red Lotus Sect, so they simply left.
They are all people near Ezhou.
There are still a lot of people like them, they don't look hopeful, they can't wait for death in Ezhou, and they don't want to make trouble and be killed by the Red Lotus Sect, so they can only return to their hometowns.
At this moment, they were on the way back to their hometowns, and the more they thought about the experience of Ezhou, the more angry they became, and under the bewitchment of the triangular eye, they wanted to do a vote and get some New Year's silver for the wives and children at home, so they ......
"My lord, we have no choice, we have been busy working in Ezhou for most of the year, we haven't taken care of the land at home, and our family is still looking forward to it, and now we can't even get a penny back, how can we have the face to see our family."
"It is said that Ezhou New City is the responsibility of the Fourth Highness, there will definitely be no problem, we all believe in the Fourth Highness, but ......"
"It doesn't matter if you don't have a face, if you don't have the money to go back, your wife and children won't be able to live."
"I still have an old mother to support at home."
“……”
A large group of men, when it comes to sadness at this moment, their eyes are red and tears are in their eyes.
Lin Bai looked at these people and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Presumably, when these people first came to Ezhou, they must have been full of confidence, because of the success of Ping'an County and Changjin County, because of the success of the southwest, because they believed in themselves, but as a result, these people were forced to a dead end.
And this is only a part, Ezhou does not know how many such people.
Inexplicably, Lin Bai had an urge to kill.
