Chapter 215: Eating People Without Spit Out Bones
A chubby official said excitedly at the officer sitting at the top.
"Big deal? Could it be that you are talking about the God of Wealth that has been spreading in the city these days? ”
The middle-aged official known as Master Zhang also showed an interested look in his eyes.
"What Lord Liu is talking about is the God of Wealth, I heard that this God of Wealth is not ordinary, the family has a lot of money to spend, and he sends it out every day."
"Yes, yes, I have seen them give money into the hands of those untouchables several times, and it is really enviable!"
"It's just that when these people give money, they also watch people put down dishes, and I asked the servants of the house to get them, but those people didn't give it, saying that it was only for the poor people."
"Alas, so much white silver is scattered to those untouchables, what a tyrannical thing!"
The officials were there to discuss, their eyes full of greed.
After a burst of envy, these officials all moved their eyes to Lord Zhang's face, and they all looked extremely expectant.
"Lord Zhang, now that Lord Zhenshou has not arrived, we will respect you in this city."
"People like this keep giving money to those untouchables, they must have ulterior motives, maybe they are trying to buy the hearts of the people and intend to rebel."
"Yes, yes, we can't spare a person like this so easily, you must check it out."
"Needless to say, from this kind of ill-intentioned person, he should be directly put in prison, all his family property should be confiscated, and it should be confiscated into the treasury."
These people were talking nonsense, and they all had an extremely righteous and awe-inspiring look on their faces.
But in their eyes, the greedy eyes can't be hidden.
It is said that such righteousness is awe-inspiring, but it is just an excuse to commit robbers.
These people are all Zhao Huan's subordinates, who originally enjoyed happiness in the capital, and only waited for two years before they could be promoted by Zhao Huan and become important ministers of the Qin State.
Who knew it would go wrong halfway.
Zhou Yang, a Seventh Highness who was assigned, appeared, and brought them here.
Now these people are very uncomfortable when they come to a place where this kind of bird doesn't, and the only thing that can make them feel some comfort is to go crazy and make money.
However, after arriving here, they found that this place had already been looted by the original low-level officials and officers.
So these officials from the capital set their sights on the heads of the merchants.
The local low-level officials and officers and soldiers still had some scruples about the merchants of Tongcheng, after all, they were all locals, and they also had some forces, so they didn't dare to offend them.
But people like Lord Zhang and Lord Liu from the capital don't care about these at all.
So under the fierce operation of these people, Boss Wang, who is the richest man in Tongcheng, directly went bankrupt.
A Boss Wang was killed, and these officials were all full of fat, which also made them interested all of a sudden.
After all, when they were in the capital, they were under the nose of King Qin, so they didn't dare to go too far in doing some things, but after arriving here, they didn't have to worry about Emperor Shangao, not to mention that they were still relying on the fact that they were the second son Zhao Huan's people, and they were even more unscrupulous.
Now the merchants in this city, as long as they hear about the people from the capital, can be frightened and tremble, after all, those people eat people and do not spit out bones.
Now these people are eyeing Zhou Yang again, after all, such a big fat sheep finally came, and they didn't dare to miss it.
These people got together and whispered something there!
However, from the screams they let out from time to time, it was enough to prove that these people didn't hold back a good fart at all.
Zhou Yang has been scattering silver everywhere during this time, and he has slowly gained some fame, especially among these ordinary people who have been cornered, Zhou Yang, the fame of Zhou Gongzi, can be described as loud to the extreme.
As long as the three words Zhou Gongzi are mentioned, these ordinary people all subconsciously give a thumbs up.
In just half a month, the original people who sold their sons and daughters in the city have disappeared.
Who is willing to sell their children with some silver?
Although the silver Zhou Yang got during this period of time was distributed to the heads of every poor people, it was only one or two.
But a couple of silver was enough for them to last for a while.
Every day, different people went to Zhou Yang's house to kneel on the ground and thank him, and now Zhou Yang was like a living Buddha in their eyes.
But the problem is that before these people had time to rejoice, disaster befell them again.
After having the silver, these people naturally went to the grain stores in the city to buy rice and noodles as soon as possible.
However, after they bought the rice noodles, they would be secretly followed by someone behind them when they left, and they did not leave until they were sure of their residence.
That night, when these relieved people made a table of coarse tea and light rice with joyful faces, and prepared a full meal, the door of the room was directly kicked open by a team of officers and soldiers.
"Boldly disrupt the people, dare to accept the funding of the thief, and now I am waiting for the order of the government to come and raid."
Just such a simple sentence made these people fall to the bottom again.
All the money left in the house was stolen, and not even the food on the table was left behind.
Some people couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to resist, but in the end, all they left was a beating.
In this way, Zhou Yang gave money outside during the day, and the people were ready to have a full meal with happy faces, but before the meal could reach their mouths, they were beaten and looted by the officers and soldiers sent by these officials.
The money is gone, the food is not eaten, and there is a beating!
Slowly, this led to the fact that even if Zhou Yang gave silver to the outside for nothing, no one dared to take it over.
The people who sold their sons and daughters came out again.
Seeing that Zhou Yang's guards went out to give alms, all these people could do was to kneel on the ground and thank the guards constantly, but they just didn't dare to accept the money.
In the official mansion, those officials looked at the silver they had collected in the past few days, piled up like a small mountain, there were tens of thousands of taels, and their eyes began to glow green.
