The dozen or so officers in Pingwu County were unprepared, and they were surrounded by angry people.

Those who are more courageous pick up the iron ruler and whistle stick in their hands to resist, but these guys are not very lethal, and they can't be used when they are surrounded by the crowd, but they provoke the anger of the people, and they are even more reluctant under their fists and feet.

There were cowards, who immediately fled to the gate, but were blocked by Guan Er and others, so they ran around the charity hall in a panic, but where they could escape, they were chased and knocked to the ground one by one.

Looking at this uncontrollable scene, Zhao Ran's first reaction was that something bad was wrong, but after pondering it for a while, he couldn't help but laugh. If this kind of mass incident is placed in the time and space that Zhao Ran has traveled from, it is quite strict, and whether it is right or wrong, the main parties on both sides will be held accountable. But in this world, Daming's handling of such incidents is completely different. As long as the people are provoked, the usual practice of the government is to push out the people who caused the people's rebellion, in order to calm the people's anger, and to appease the people, as long as the people do not transform the people's rebellion into "uncovering the rod and rising", then hello, I am good, everyone.

These are two different styles of governance, and the root of this is the self-confidence of those in power.

The evil messenger bullied the people and caused the people to rebel, and this alone ensured that Zhao Ran stood at the highest point of morality; at the same time, the evil messenger broke into the Taoist property without the permission of the Taoist Gate to search and arrest him, which also ensured Zhao Ran's correctness in terms of procedure. This layer is connected. Zhao Ran's heart was much more stable.

Of course, he couldn't let the angry people beat the servants to death, or else things might change. After watching the play for a while, Zhao Ran summoned Jin Jiu and Guan Er over and told them to end the scene quickly and not to kill anyone. As long as no one lives. He is completely able to stand on his own and will not be implicated by this.

With the help of Jin Jiu and Guan Er, Liu Ban and more than a dozen officers from Pingwu County were finally not killed on the spot, but they were not less guilty. Needless to say, Liu Ban's nose and face were swollen, the corners of his mouth were full of blood, and he couldn't get up from lying on the ground for a long time, and most of the rest of the errand soldiers were like this, and there were two of the most fierce resistance, and the injuries were stricter. It looked like his leg had been trampled on and he was rolling on the ground in pain.

Zhao Ran asked the servants to gather over, and then began to lecture: "Life is between heaven and earth, and the thoughts of good and evil must be clear and thorough. Taishang said: There is no way for good and evil, but people call themselves, and the retribution of good and evil follows like a shadow. If you have evil thoughts in your heart, you will summon evil retribution. Don't blame others, it's all in your own body. And not only repay you, etc. When you and others have committed crimes, gather less into more, and repay the innocent to future generations. If you do evil deeds, you will be punished, not only on you, but also on your children and grandchildren. Poor Dao is really unbearable today. Therefore I remind you, and I do not know whether you will hear it or not. ”

The Ming Dynasty takes Taoism as the state religion, and everyone has heard of the truth of good and evil retribution and bearing the burden that Zhao Ran told, but they don't care about it at all on weekdays. Today he preached righteousness with awe. The people listened very carefully, and immediately bowed to him: "The Taoist chief is merciful, thank you for the enlightenment." ”

Only Liu Ban's first-class Pingwu County official turned his head and didn't say a word, and it seemed that he couldn't listen.

Zhao Ran didn't care, he said these words with the intention of adding bricks and tiles to his own righteousness, and he didn't expect others to change their ways, if Liu Bantou and the others were in tears on the spot and said that they wanted to change their ways, then he would feel that something was wrong.

Zhao Ran read the Taoist scriptures very well, his homework was very thorough, and he preached it effortlessly. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that the merit in his qi sea had increased by more than 100 threads, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, it turned out that educating the world is also a good way to increase merit.

With the harvest, Zhao Ran's mood improved even more, so he planned to stop for himself.

"Liu Bantou, poor and kind words persuade him, and I don't know if you have listened to it. Poor Dao doesn't plan to continue to investigate today's matter, but if you continue to do evil, Poor Dao will report this matter to the Zhongyang Yuan of Pingwu County, and then the Zhongyang Yuan will deal with you silverfish who wantonly arouse the anger of the people! ”

These errand servants suffered a big setback in the Charity Hall today, although Zhao Ran himself was not afraid, but he also had to prevent them from making trouble in Wuji Courtyard later, so he had to say these words in front and intimidate them in advance.

But he didn't expect that Liu Bantou raised his neck and said: "Today's matter, regardless of whether it is right or wrong." But your charity hall does shelter a lot of Diao people who are in debt and have fled, Daochang Zhao, you can protect it for a while, but you can't protect it for a lifetime, this case is always endless!"

Jin Jiu shouted: "Dog kills, you don't want to live anymore!"

Liu Bantou was so frightened that he shrunk his neck, and he didn't dare to provoke with words anymore, but his half-swollen eyes still looked at Zhao Ran: "Daochang Zhao, even if Liu admits it, how can he report to my family Dong County after he goes back? Daochang Zhao has to give a word, right?"

Although Liu Bantou's words were very unpleasant, they were indeed such a truth, Zhao Ran thought about it, and said: "Who are the people who are involved in your Pingwu County?"

Liu Bantou stretched out his hand and took out a sign slip from his arms, Zhao Ran took it and looked at it, more than 20 names were written on it, so he transferred it to Steward Li: "Find it, is it in my charity hall?"

The charity hall has a register of people to be accommodated, and Steward Li checked it, and then singled out the people, and there are a total of seven households on this list, all of whom escaped with their families. There are more than 20 taels owed a lot, and there are 7 or 8 taels of less, of course, it is the principal plus the interest money, but the actual principal is not much.

Steward Li asked carefully again, but these people did not hide it, and admitted that they did owe debts, and then they all knelt in front of Zhao Ran and asked Zhao Ran to save him.

Zhao Ran was helpless and said to Liu Bantou: "Go back and inform your family Dong Xianzun that this debt will be paid by my charity hall." ”

With Zhao Ran's promise, Liu Bantou was also considered to have finished his errand and could go back to Pingwu County to close the case, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, and left the charity hall with a group of errands.

Zhao Ran watched Liu Ban and the others leave, Guan Er sighed beside him, and said, "I can't see it, the surname Liu is still hard-boned." ”

Zhao Ran vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think about it for a while, so he just shook his head. What he has to deal with now is the seven poor families who have fled to the charity hall, and he has no energy to take care of anything else for the time being.

Zhao Ran did great good deeds for the sake of cultivating merit power, but good deeds must not be done indiscriminately, otherwise it would not last long. For example, these seven families who fled to the charity hall, of course Zhao Ran has the financial resources to help them repay their debts, but in this way, it will form injustice in the charity hall. Everyone has a small abacus, and they will privately think: Your charity hall pays off the debts of these seven families, which is equivalent to giving them a sum of money in disguise, so why can't I get a copper plate? The clever ones may automatically make up a way to make money: I will also borrow money, and then hide in the charity hall, don't you Zhao Daochang have a lot of money? When the time comes, just let Zhao Daochang help me repay the money.

If this thought can't be contained, then Zhao Ran is not Zhao Shanren, but Zhao Fool, and he is the wronged boss in the eyes of everyone.

Therefore, Zhao Ran did not hide it, and explained this truth directly in front of everyone, which immediately calmed the minds of a few people. The seven families who owed debts were immediately a little dizzy, and their hearts were full of confusion, not knowing whether to repay the money or not.

Zhao Ran's solution is actually not complicated, which is to transfer debts - to redeem the debts owed and hold them by the charity church. He was going to take out 1,000 taels of silver to set up a charity hall, which was used to redeem the usury claims of the poor people. In other words, this debt will be borne by the charity church for the time being, helping the people to repay the money, and then the people will return the money to the charity church. Of course, the maturity of the debt will be doubled or tripled, and the maximum amount will not exceed three times.

For example, someone was forced to borrow ten taels of silver from a large household, agreed to five cents of interest, and repaid the loan in half a year. If he is unable to repay the money, the charity hall can come forward and return the money to the creditor, and then collect the debt from the household, but the repayment period will be extended to one year, one and a half years, or even two years.

In this way, the people have the ability to repay their debts, and the loss of the charity hall is almost none. The people were rejoicing, and Zhao Ran was also happy to add merit.

However, Jin Jiu suddenly came to Zhao Ran's side and whispered: "Master Fang, I just saw that these seven households all have road guides issued by Pingwu County. ”

When Zhao Ran heard this, he suddenly felt bad.
