From His Highness Long Lin's words, he could naturally think of something.
When they were summoned by the officers and soldiers, they also made some inquiries. It was known from those people that after His Highness arrived, he only asked about Lord Zhang Heshun's situation, and then led the troops directly to Lord Zhang's residence.
At the same time, someone summoned them here.
His Highness said that Master Zhang's family members have all been killed and silenced. Now everything in Zhang Heshun's mansion is probably being thoroughly investigated, and no part of it will be spared.
Searching your home is definitely a very good way.
Now these adults have been summoned here in a hurry without any preparation at all. Their families don't even know about it.
Faced with such a great opportunity, how could he be so stupid as to send these people back to prepare them?
Even if some of the money has been hidden by these adults in advance, most of the money must still be left in the house. Those in the family will not worry about speaking up as long as they are threatened.
At worst, there is a direct threat. As long as the money is found, these people's heads will probably be chopped off by Long Lin.
"My lords, what you said is right. This is really a happy event. However, the person who should congratulate me is not me, but the entire officialdom of Daizhou and all the people in Daizhou. You are also the ones who should congratulate me.
You can be regarded as the parent official of Daizhou, but what do you think of the people in your eyes?"
When he said these words, the person in front of him was immediately stunned.
His eyes gradually narrowed. What did Zhang Rujing mean by these words?
Could it be that Zhang Rujing couldn't understand what he meant?
"Master Zhang, the people live and work in peace and contentment and have food to eat. We are the parents and officials of the people, so we will naturally treat them well."
"No, you will only treat yourselves well. Your Highness handed this matter over to me. Do you really think that I will turn a blind eye? It is simply ridiculous. I have long wanted to punish you evil officials.
, get rid of them all, it’s a pity that there has never been a chance. Over the years, you have taken a lot of people’s hard-earned money, haven’t you?”
After Zhang Rujing finished speaking, he sneered directly.
There was no trace of smile on his face anymore, and his face was covered with frost.
"Zhang Rujing, do you have to be our enemy? Are you willing to send us all to prison? Have we ever felt sorry for you in these years? After decades of official friendship, do you have to
Cause us to die?"
Hahaha......
After hearing this, Zhang Rujing burst out laughing.
It's simply ridiculous. Is he going to kill these people? If they had been able to consider the people at all after so many years, I'm afraid he wouldn't have such a strong murderous intention towards these people.
His Highness finally gave him a chance. As long as all these corrupt officials are eliminated, even if he dies, he will feel that he will be very happy and his life will not be in vain.
If he continues to live like that, he may end up depressed when he grows old, and he will never have peace of mind.
"If you are innocent and love the people? If you still have some conscience? If you are standing here now, you will be as calm as me. Why are you afraid of beheading? Are you afraid of death? If you are afraid of death, you people,
Why did you still follow Zhang Heshun in the first place? To harm one party?"
Zhang Rujing said with a cold face and said bitterly.
"Zhang Rujing, do you really not know, or are you blind? What happened to Zhang Heshun? Although Mr. Zhang took away a large number of people, when they returned, they all brought money back home?
After getting the money, have you heard of any other family whose people starved to death?"
"That's right, Zhang Rujing, don't you know this? In the past, droughts and natural disasters occurred every year in Daizhou. There were wastelands everywhere. The people often had no food to eat. They had to report disasters to the court every year to ask for food. But those
How many people have starved to death after the food arrived? You don’t know this?”
"With how much food the imperial court has, how can it control so many people? If it weren't for Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid those people, after so many years, do you know how many people will starve to death? Go and visit the people in person.
Come on, do you know how many people are praising Master Zhang from the bottom of their hearts?"
...
This incident in everyone's mouth immediately stunned Zhang Rujing.
But in his heart, he still couldn't help but sneer. Before, he really didn't know what those people did after they were taken away.
In his heart, he has always been very curious.
But these things were suppressed by these people, so he did not dare to act rashly, and he could not find out where those people were taken? Why was he able to bring back money after returning from one trip?
He even wondered if these people had found a silver mine and were secretly digging for it to make silver. Otherwise, where would they have gotten so much silver to distribute to the people?
Once the food for disaster relief was in their hands, it was not so easy to deliver it to the people.
Not to mention, since those people were taken away, very few people in Daizhou have died of starvation.
Although the drought is still there and the food production is still not sufficient, with that money, there is finally a way to be able to eat enough.
But is this worth being happy about? On the contrary, he felt sad.
Who do you build weapons privately and resell them to? Do you still need to think about this? These people actually say that they are just and righteous for such a traitorous act. When they spend their money, they are probably unscrupulous, and they are probably even more generous than spending their own money.
calm.
"What you said is so good. People don't need to starve to death now. The land that can be cultivated is becoming less and less. A large number of young and strong people have been moved outside. But don't you know
, those people who came back are just a small number of people? There are still a large number of people who are alive and dead and not corpses. Compared with the people who are about to starve to death, the number of these people is probably even greater, right?"
Everyone looked at Zhang Rujing, feeling anxious and angry.
The man before's eyes turned cold for a moment.
He once felt that this Zhang Rujing was a troublesome person. On the surface, he was at odds with them, but he just didn't make any changes.
If it was really done, that would be great.
The current Zhang Rujing might have died in their hands long ago.
But it's good now. It's obviously impossible to touch this Rujing again.
This person has become their trouble after all.
"Master Zhang, do you think you are going to have your own way? Do you know that we have no backup plan? If you kill us, do you think no killer will find you and kill you and your family?
Die at home?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly became very deserted.
Everyone's eyes looked at Zhang Rujing, exuding strong murderous intent.
In fact, they also knew in their hearts that saying nice things to Zhang Rujing would obviously not have any effect.
Even marrying his young granddaughter to him could not make him change his mind. Even if he gave all their money to Zhang Rujing, he would not give up. Even Zhang Rujing would not want the money at all.
If inducement doesn't work, it can only be coercion.
