"These are all rebels, and there are even disciples of the Red Lotus Sect. Why did you just let them go?"
Seeing the big man in rough clothes taking over the boat from Yan Gang, Zhu Tai obviously couldn't bear it any longer.
According to him, these rebels must be captured.
Just a few hostages.
What's more, these hostages had also attacked the Yamen before. They were not good things in his eyes, and at least they were not innocent.
Lin Bai smiled, "They're just a few minions, what's the point of catching them?"
Zhu Taixin said, of course it makes sense, maybe it can drag the second child into the water.
Zhang Weimin is the second child.
But of course he wouldn't say that, so he could only say: "They rebelled in your name. As long as you catch them, you can prove that it has nothing to do with you."
Lin Bai snorted, as if you thought this king would care.
The corners of Zhu Tai's eyes twitched and he was speechless.
Lin Bai ignored him and looked at Yan Gang, who nodded meaningfully to Lin Bai.
Among those people just now, there were people arranged by Zhang Weimin, and people from the Red Lotus Sect were indispensable.
The man in rough clothes was most likely telling the truth. He should be the person arranged by Zhang Weimin. Hearing that Lin Bai was willing to spare his life, he was ready to let go of the hostages and surrender to the talented man.
Because he is someone close to Zhang Weimin, it is not difficult to figure out his identity.
He has scruples and a family.
Moreover, he acted according to orders. The great talent promised to spare his life, and he was willing to believe in the great talent.
But the other man in black is different. He insists on letting the ship leave, and this person is most likely the Red Lotus Sect, because the Red Lotus Sect cannot withstand the investigation and has no escape route. Once captured, the only way to die is after identity verification. One, so he could only leave.
Understanding this, Lin Bai asked Yan Gang to prepare the boat, and at the same time asked Yan Gang to stuff a note into the rough-clothed man.
Of course, I don’t know if it’s useful or not.
Nothing more than trying.
Anyway, they are just a few minions, and the great talents don't care.
However, although he didn't care, the rescued hostages were kneeling on the ground one by one at this moment, "Thank you to His Highness the Fourth Highness for saving his life. We deserve to die. We should not have listened to their instigation and almost trapped Your Highness the Fourth Highness into injustice..."
A few people spoke, and the huge crowd knelt down in unison, all trying to apologize to the talented man.
Because the great talent is really helping them.
Not only did he want their wages back for them, but he also wanted to let the rebels go because of the lives of several workers, which was something no other official could do.
Moreover, it is a serious crime to let the rebels go, especially when these rebels are rebelling in the name of great talents. If they are released like this, people will inevitably suspect that it is deliberate, so...
Lin Bai naturally didn't take it seriously and looked at the dense crowd.
Said: "I am very happy that you can realize your mistake. Finally, my trip was not in vain. However, it is a mistake. The court has defaulted on wages. If you attack the Yamen, I will not blame you, because the Yamen did not do enough. , you can’t live anymore..."
These words are obviously very rebellious, and it is not to blame for attacking the Yamen.
The huge crowd all looked at the talented man curiously.
Zhu Tai was also confused.
He finally discovered that the talented man dared to say anything. If these words were spread back to the court, he didn't know what would happen.
"But those government officials are innocent."
Lin Bai continued, "They have parents and children just like you. Although you were all incited and not the culprits, you are still an accomplice."
As soon as these words came out, the huge crowd suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at the great talent.
Lin Bai added: "If you make a mistake, you must admit it. Since you are an accomplice, you must accept punishment."
The crowd didn't know what to do for a while.
At this time, a young man came out and said, "The people did not kill anyone, but they were indeed one of the first people to rush into the Yamen. The people are willing to accept the punishment."
"And me, someone shot a hidden arrow and killed the government officials. Other government officials wanted to kill us, so I had no choice but to fight back."
"The Fourth Highness is a good person, and I am willing to accept any punishment."
"Count me in!"
"..."
One after another, figures stood up one after another, holding their heads high and looking quite responsible.
Lin Bai glanced at these people and nodded subconsciously. The situation at that time must have been extremely chaotic. These people dared to stand up, which not only showed their responsibility, but also showed their trust in him.
"This is a group incident. It's not just you, everyone is at fault. The culprit will be brought to justice. As for you..."
Lin Bai said and looked at everyone, "I have only one request. The people who died because of this incident, whether they are government officials or common people, from today on, their parents are your parents, and their children are your children. The king wants you to raise their parents and children together, can you do it?"
"able!"
This punishment is considered light, so many people are serving a few old people and children, the crowd said in unison.
"Okay! Remember your promise."
Lin Bai said, "I also promise you that there will never be wage arrears in Ezhou New City again, and I will establish a workers' federation."
He looked at the figures standing up and continued: "You will be the first batch of trade union members. You will be responsible for the families of the deceased. There are other matters. I will tell you later..."
If the status of businessmen is the lowest in this era, then the status of workers is actually not much higher.
When Ezhou New City was first built, Zhu Kun and Zhu Tai directly used workers as corvees to save costs, which can be seen from this.
This time something big happened in Ezhou again, and no one cared about workers' rights and interests.
Even a great talent cannot keep an eye on him all the time.
He still wants to lie down!
There are a few beautiful ladies in charge in the southwest, and the Ministry of Commerce is operating normally, no problem. However, the Lichao territory is vast and there are overt and covert fights at the top, which makes it very difficult for the people.
It is necessary to establish a trade union. No matter how effective it is, just treat it as a pilot!
Registration at the dock continues.
However, Lin Bai had already left the dock with two beautiful ladies, and Zhu Tai was no exception.
What happened at the dock spread quickly. By the time the group came to the streets of Ezhou, the streets were already densely packed. Countless people came after hearing the news. Men, women, old and young, and all kinds of cheers seemed to be coming. Excited for the arrival of the great talent.
Wu Qiaojun and Gu Ling'er couldn't help but have arrogant looks on their faces.
Even Zhu Tai felt a little carried away.
He has never enjoyed such treatment, being sought after by the people. Although he is completely taking advantage of a great talent, it feels really good.
For a moment, he seemed to have forgotten what would happen if the incident reached Kyoto.
In a certain attic not far away, Liu Baichuan was also watching this scene, watching the great talent coming all the way, greeting the people, the cheers of countless people around him, and the countless people following behind the great talent. Huge caravans, endless.
His expression also became a little complicated, and there was a hint of worry.
