The reputation of the great talent spread far and wide. Whether it was the previous disaster in Hedong, Ping'an New City, or the subsequent Hexi Corridor, Fenglang Juxu, etc., the great talent was definitely the one with the greatest reputation in the entire Li Dynasty.
Because the journey has been so legendary.
From a scholar building a safe new city, to becoming the top scholar in high school, defeating the Wu Dynasty envoys, planning Changjin County, developing the Southwest, and sweeping away the Xiongnu, etc., these events are one after another, and the huge departure from the court is known to everyone. No one knows.
In addition, several beautiful ladies have been doing good deeds, not to mention the reputation of the great talent.
Therefore, even if there are various rumors in Ezhou, it is said that the great talent is tempting the businessmen to leave and draining the funds of Ezhou New City.
But it still did not affect the people's trust in the great talent.
Or maybe, under the current circumstances, the people had no choice at all, so the talented man killed the director of the Commerce Bureau in front of everyone and captured the prefect of Ezhou, so that these workers could see hope.
Anyway, everything is fine. At this moment, countless workers and people are kneeling on the dock, looking at the great talent with great expectation, hoping that the great talent can make the decision for them.
So much so that the Red Lotus Sect and some people with ulterior motives mixed in the crowd didn't know what to do at this moment.
Because the appeal of great talents is too strong.
Their words were of no use at all.
Not only is it useless, if you incite everyone at this time, you will be caught out immediately.
Therefore, all these people also knelt down.
Lin Bai looked at the huge crowd and said loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, your Majesty sent me and the third child here precisely for this matter."
"Your Majesty was heartbroken when he learned about the situation in Ezhou. He ordered me and Lao San to do justice to everyone and ensure that everyone's wages are paid. Not only that, the subsequent construction of Ezhou New City will also be fully responsible for me and Lao San. Until Ezhou is completely completed."
"As for various supplies, don't worry, everyone, look behind you. These are all transported from the southwest under His Majesty's order, as well as voluntary donations from countless businessmen..."
Hearing this, the crowd turned their heads and looked behind them.
On the river behind them, countless merchant ships were slowly approaching the Ezhou Pier, like a long dragon with no end in sight.
The huge crowd instantly burst into excitement, with countless cheers and cries of joy heard.
Zhu Tai was also a little stunned.
Although he received a letter from the great talent to save Ezhou, he never expected that the great talent would take such a big action. This is simply...
at the same time.
In a remote place not far from the dock, Protector Qinglian looked surprised, "What did you say? Kill? The dignified Director of the Commercial Bureau was killed directly like that?"
"Return to Lord Qinglian, it is absolutely true."
The man in black in front of him said, "The King of Southwest directly killed Zhang Weimin in front of everyone and said that he would take over Ezhou completely."
Protector Qinglian's eyes were twitching wildly. The Southwest King was so famous that no one knew about the huge Li Dynasty.
But even so, he never expected that a dignified third-grade official would be killed on the spot.
Moreover, according to the information currently known, the other party is not the prince.
Is the other party planning to rebel?
its not right!
If the other party really wants to rebel, it would be over if they rebel directly. Why bother taking over Ezhou? What on earth is this going to do?
Protector Qinglian frowned, and then asked: "What's the situation at the dock now?"
The man in black said: "Sir, the Southwest King said that all workers' wages will be paid to the workers at once, and Cao Guangda was ordered to assist the guards of the Southwest Palace to register the workers."
"Register?"
Protector Qinglian's expression changed.
The man in black said: "That's right! Register the amount of wages owed by these workers, as well as the work projects they are working on. It is said that you should register first and then verify with the Ministry of Commerce. If there are no problems, the wages will be paid to everyone. "
"not good!"
Qinglian Dharma Protector's face changed greatly when he heard this.
The man in black looked puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Protector Qinglian said anxiously: "What kind of registration is this? This is to find the person who is instigating the trouble."
The man in black was startled at first, but then he understood instantly.
No.
The money owed by the workers was all real. As long as you reported your name, the project and the amount, it was right. But the people who fanned the flames, as well as the Red Lotus disciples, were all pretending to be workers. There was no such thing as the Ministry of Commerce. There will be no employment information about them, so one check will make it accurate.
"What a king of the southwest."
Protector Qinglian's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
The man in black did the same and asked quickly: "Sir, what should we do now? Most of the people we brought this time are inside. Once they are found out..."
Protector Qinglian paused and asked, "Can you incite them to cause trouble or flee?"
The man in black said: "I'm afraid not, those workers trust the Southwest King very much..."
No wonder, not to mention his own trust, the talented man is still asking them to register their salary arrears in order to prepare for the payment of money later. In this case, it is impossible to incite them.
"As for escaping, I'm afraid it's not possible. The dock is surrounded by officers and soldiers led by Cao Guangda and has been completely blocked."
Protector Qinglian's teeth chattered, "Zhang Weimin, that bitch, I thought he could pull off some tricks, it's bullshit."
"Now we can only look at their own fate."
The great talent's domineering and manipulation undoubtedly shocked everyone, making many people feel chills running down their spines and dripping with cold sweat.
At this moment, among the countless people at the pier, many people had pale faces.
These people include disciples of the Red Lotus Sect and people arranged by Zhang Weimin.
It is conceivable that Zhang Weimin is dead.
Each of these people was confused and at a loss.
In contrast, the workers were filled with joy.
As for Zhu Tai, his expression was a little complicated. He didn't care so much anymore. He pulled the talented man aside and said through gritted teeth: "Lin Qingfeng, what the hell are you doing? You actually killed Zhang Weimin directly? Are you? Aren't you crazy? If my father were to blame..."
"This prince has been harmed miserably by you!"
Zhu Tai's teeth chattered, no wonder he was like this.
The father didn't want to see the great talent, and even wanted his life. However, the great talent killed the third-rank official of the imperial court without saying a word. The key is that he also pulled him into the same camp. This was not to kill him. Damn it, it’s strange that he’s not angry.
In other words, Lin Bai didn't dare to get angry. If it were anyone else, he would have gotten angry a long time ago.
Lin Bai ignored them and looked like nothing was wrong, always paying attention to the crowd.
Zhu Tai's teeth were itching, but he didn't dare to get angry, so he could only say: "Lin Qingfeng, tell me clearly what you want to do? Don't forget our agreement."
Lin Bai smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, of course I will not forget it. I am just supporting you! In this situation, how do you think you can beat the second child?"
