The news that Lin Bai was preparing to fight the landlords and take action on the gentry and squires soon spread to the ears of many students.
Everyone is angry and unjust.
In their view, this completely ruined the reputation of Jiangnan students and was no different from bandits.
"Brother Bai, what should we do now? We can't be kidnapped like this."
Many students looked at Bai Zhanlang.
Apart from Lin Bai, he is the most famous here. He is also the son of Taoist, and he is vaguely the leader among the students.
Bai Zhanlang also frowned at this time, looked at the crowd and said, "Besides this, do you have any other ways to solve the current dilemma?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
If there was a way to do this, I would have done it earlier.
Moreover, they are all based in the south of the Yangtze River. As the saying goes, water far away cannot quench the thirst of the near.
"But even if we have no choice, we can't let Lin Qingfeng do whatever he wants. Hasn't our reputation been completely ruined by him?"
"That's right! He keeps talking about the responsibility of Jiangnan students, but in the end he digs a hole for us to jump out of. We can't just be trapped like this."
"Get out of this place of right and wrong quickly. It has nothing to do with me as much as he likes to do."
"You're right, you may not know what will happen if you stay here any longer."
"..."
Everyone talked a lot, and finally decided to leave unanimously.
Lin Bai temporarily takes over the position of commander of Silver Dragon. They can't afford to offend him, but they can always hide from him!
As long as they run fast enough, the other party's behavior has nothing to do with them.
"Brother Lin, it's bad, Bai Zhanlang and the others are gone."
Lin Bai was sitting in the lobby of the county government office at this time. Su Lingyue and Zhuiyue were on both sides, looking like they were county magistrates.
Qi Renjie came in a hurry, looking flustered.
"all gone?"
Lin Bai didn't even raise his head and continued to write and draw.
Qi Renjie replied: "Yes! They have all left, but they did leave some of the food on the ship."
"Not bad! He is quite a scholar."
Lin Bai nodded, and then asked, "Why didn't Brother Qi leave?"
The corners of Qi Renjie's mouth twitched and he said to himself: Qi wanted to leave, but it was not because he got too close to someone that he was lumped together by everyone, so he was not notified at all.
Therefore, he was abandoned.
Of course, this cannot be said. The great talent Qi also wants to save face, so he immediately said: "What kind of hero is he who escapes in the middle of battle? Although Qi is not talented, he can't do such a thing."
Lin Bai chuckled: "That's right! I heard that Brother Qi chased him for two miles, but he just didn't catch up."
Poof!
The little girl couldn't help laughing, and Chaiyue couldn't help laughing.
Qi Da Caizi obviously couldn't hold it any longer, his face turned red and white, and finally he stopped pretending, "Asshole! Why didn't you stop it since you knew?"
"Why stop it?"
Lin Bai asked back.
These people have played their role, why are they still here? Waste food?
I wonder if Ping'an County is short of food. Even if they don't leave, Lin Bai will have to drive them away.
When asked, Qi Renjie was stunned, and after a while he said, "It's okay to stay and take the blame together."
In fact, all the students are smart people, and they all know that operating on the gentry and gentry is the last resort, but this cannot be done unless they donate voluntarily.
Otherwise, once word spreads and your reputation becomes infamous, you will be suppressed by all parties.
After all, these gentry and squires are all respectable people, and gentry and squires everywhere are also afraid that similar things will happen, and they will definitely condemn them vigorously.
It can be said that Lin Bai's move offended not only the gentry and gentry in Ping'an County, but also the entire gentry and gentry in Lichao, and the court was mostly composed of these people.
It was precisely because of this that Bai Zhanlang and others quickly ran away, fearing that they would be linked to this matter.
"Brother Lin, listen to my advice. You can't do this. You are just acting as the commander of Silver Dragon temporarily. Once you do this, your future will be ruined."
Lin Bai smiled and asked: "Otherwise? Watch them starve to death?"
Qi Renjie was silent.
"But thank you, Brother Qi, for reminding me. Actually, you are mistaken. I didn't want to attack these people."
Qi Renjie was startled and asked in confusion: "If you don't want to attack them? Then where did you get the food? What did you do with these people?"
Lin Bai smiled and said: "Of course they have to pay for the food, but it's not about robbing them, it's just about negotiating a business deal with them."
Business?
Qi Renjie was confused. At this juncture, there was no need to talk about business.
Who is free to discuss business with you?
Lin Bai did not explain, and continued to write and draw.
Qi Renjie couldn't resist his curiosity. He stepped forward and saw that Lin Bai was drawing a city structure map. The straight lines looked very simple, but when combined, they turned into spacious streets. Beautiful architecture…
There are also a few big words written on it: "Ping'an County New Town Planning Map"
"Brother Lin, what is this?"
Qi Renjie couldn't help but ask.
Lin Bai was too lazy to explain, so he just said: "You will understand when everyone comes here."
After a while, Liu Baichuan walked in, "Sir, all the wealthy businessmen, gentry, and gentry in Ping'an County have arrived and are waiting outside."
"good!"
Lin Bai nodded, "Invite them in!"
Soon, a group of richly dressed people walked in. All of these people looked evil, and they had obviously guessed some possibility.
The leader was an old man with a gray beard, who was called Zhao Weng. He was quite imposing and probably had a lot of background.
Before Lin Bai could speak, he had already spoken, "Well, Lin Qingfeng, why did you find us?"
The news had come a long time ago. These people all knew that Lin Qingfeng was only temporarily acting as the commander of the Silver Dragon, so they were not afraid of him. It would be different if it was a masked woman.
"Not bad! What do you want to do? Do you want food?"
"..."
Someone took the lead, and everyone started shouting.
The little girl couldn't help it anymore and shouted: "My brother-in-law hasn't spoken yet, what are you yelling about? Besides, this is Ping'an County and your hometown. Even if I ask you to do something, it's not too much, right?"
"My Su family is far away in Jiangzhou, and my brother-in-law has sent people to nearby Su's cloth farms to prepare food. It would be best for you..."
After being criticized like this, everyone really didn't know what to say for a while.
Domineering!
Lin Bai gave the little girl a thumbs up and immediately said, "Everyone, my sister-in-law's words are a bit harsh. Please don't be offended."
"Lin had no choice but to take over this mess. He called everyone here today for the sake of the victims and food. But don't worry, Lin never thought of asking for everyone's food in vain."
"If you know Lin, you should know that Lin is actually a businessman, and he has offended many officials by complaining about businessmen."
"Because Lin knows that the wealth of businessmen does not fall from the sky. It is the result of hard work from generation to generation. The same is true for everyone present."
After hearing this, everyone's expressions softened a lot.
Zhao Weng was also a little surprised and asked: "What does Mr. Lin want? If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
