"You dare to start threatening people in front of so many people. Run away. Otherwise, if you are really caught by this guy, you will definitely be in trouble."
"With so many people running, even if he really wants to catch someone, he may not be able to catch us, but if he runs slowly, that's not necessarily the case. He will definitely be unlucky then."
"That's right. Let's run together. Even if he has a thousand households, we can't catch him if he wants to."
"This dog official is really indifferent to human affairs and has no justice."
"Yes, a dog relies on human power. He is domineering and arrogant. It's not because he is a high-ranking official in the court. After leaving the court, he is nothing."
"The laws of the imperial court were destroyed in the hands of these people. It's a pity that not every official has the same conscience as the prodigal son of the government."
Listening to the curses from the people, Tang En's stomach was about to explode with anger. These unruly people were really rebellious. They dared to say such things.
"Just wait. When I get the chance, I will check carefully who scolded me today."
Tang En said viciously in a low voice, and was still a little entangled at the same time. At this time, he really didn't want to call those people in Li Baiyi's name.
He didn't even think about it. He just threatened these unruly people a little, but these unruly people dared to rebel and ran away.
When did this bunch of unscrupulous people become so confident in dealing with officials like them?
If those people heard that Li Baiyi asked them to catch the carriage, and they immediately changed their attitude and went to catch the carriage, then don't want him anymore.
But soon he felt a sense of luck. How could this be possible? Li Baiyi was just a dandy county magistrate.
Why do the people respect him more than he, the Minister of Rites?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel confident, and shouted at the top of his lungs at the people.
"Common people, please wait a moment. This time, it's not me and the cabinet asking you to drive the carriage. It's the young prince of the town, Li Baiyi, asking you to drive the carriage."
"But the price he gave was only one hundred taels, no premium."
After saying that, he felt a sense of anticipation in his heart.
Although their performance before was very poor and the people didn't buy it at all, it didn't matter.
If Li Baiyi's name is also difficult to use, it means that it is not the problem of their cabinet, but the problem of these people who are not making money because they are rebellious.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the people who had just wanted to run away had turned their faces, and their eyes seemed to have changed.
"What you said is true. It was the prodigal son who asked us to drive the carriage and gave him a hundred taels in return."
"That prodigal son is here too. Where is he? Why haven't I seen anyone?"
"I heard that the prodigal son went to Xianxian County to serve as the county magistrate to provide disaster relief, and he also solved many cases. It is true or false."
The people quickly gathered around again, as if the incident of running away together had never happened.
Tang En couldn't help but cursed these thugs secretly in his heart, but he greeted them with a smile on his face.
"That's right, it's that Mr. Li, but you heard clearly, he only gave one hundred taels, and there was no increase in price."
Tang En saw that something was wrong with the attitude of these unruly people. These guys didn't seem to reject Li Baiyi, a prodigal son, at all, and even seemed to welcome him.
Are these guys out of their minds? They are not interested in senior cabinet officials like them. Instead, why are they so interested in Li Baiyi, a playboy and prodigal?
Seeing the way these people went and came back, Li Baiyi knew that he would definitely win this time. You can't force this kind of thing. If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not.
Tang En felt vaguely that something was wrong, but in just a flash of lightning, he was ready with no fewer than twenty words to discredit Li Baiyi.
As long as he talks to these people, he is not afraid that these people will support Li Baiyi again.
"Common people, this Li Baiyi used to be a dandy. Everyone in the capital knows that what I said is true or false. I am not slandering or slandering him."
"In addition to this, this guy also competed with His Highness the Crown Prince over disaster relief matters. He was impeached by hundreds of officials and almost lost his position as county magistrate."
"In addition, he also enslaves the refugees and makes them work for him and His Royal Highness. Think about it, they even dare to deal with the refugees like this, let alone you."
"So, everyone, if you want to drive Li Baiyi's carriage, you must think clearly, this boy can do anything."
As soon as he said this, Tang En suddenly felt a little smug, feeling that what he said was so accurate.
However, when he looked at others after he finished speaking, everyone looked at him in a strange way.
"Sir, you said that Magistrate Li would spend a hundred taels to invite us to drive a carriage to the North City Gate. Is it true or false?"
"Yes, it's true. County Magistrate Li is with someone else."
"Weren't you quite able to speak just now? Why are you mute now? Please answer."
Looking at the excited eyes and fiery eyes of these people, Tang En took a deep breath. What he said had no effect at all.
These common people didn't pay any attention to what he just said. Instead, they all focused on Li Baiyi and the one hundred taels of silver.
Is it possible that Li Baiyi really has some magic power that can make these people willing to work for him?
Even if they, the cabinet ministers, could not accomplish something, this person actually accomplished it.
Who are these people? They are all real Qingliu. Their reputation is not comparable to that of a small county magistrate.
But these people proved to them with practical actions that in the hearts of the people, these high-ranking officials really seemed to be inferior to a little Li Baiyi.
No, these people were behaving abnormally. How could they be willing to believe Li Baiyi?
Li Baiyi or Li Xiao, father and son, must have done something to make these people believe in Li Baiyi unconditionally.
In other words, these people were originally found by Li Baiyi, so he would only accept Li Baiyi's orders.
Thinking of this, Tang En suddenly felt that his guess was definitely correct. Only this option could explain everything that happened.
Although this guess seems to have many loopholes, this is the only possibility that is beneficial to Tang En and the cabinet.
Therefore, he ignored all the loopholes and his eyes gradually became excited.
"Okay, you unscrupulous people are so unscrupulous, so willing to obey the orders of a prodigal son and help him do evil."
