The tent was so quiet that you could hear the needle drop. Maybe they didn't expect that this was what Li Zhao wanted.
But many people still frowned. Hailong County is so big. There are nine counties under it. It can only raise fifty gangsters if not a hundred.
It is absolutely impossible for these gangsters to survive without the support of aristocratic families like them.
Li Zhao didn't even want to pretend, he just wanted to play it clear: I have a lot of good things in my hands, if you want them, you have to show sincerity!
Handing over the gangsters shows your sincerity!
Li Zhao knew very well that even if you sent King You's guards to encircle and suppress them, it would not take a short time.
But in this way, complete removal will never be possible.
He wanted this group of people to take action himself. Even if he couldn't eliminate the trouble now, at least while he was still growing, he didn't want the gangsters to disturb the people again.
As long as this period is passed, even if the gangsters reappear, Li Zhao will have enough means to deal with it.
Li Zhao said nothing, picked up the teacup, and waited for their response.
"Your Highness, I am waiting... need to go to the toilet."
"Easy!" Li Zhao chuckled and didn't mind.
As a result, everyone in the camp immediately went out in groups of twos and threes.
They came to the open space, and everyone's face was full of solemnity.
"what to do?"
"If we agree to him, then we will break an arm of ourselves!" Some people gritted their teeth and felt that Li Zhao was too hateful.
"But have you ever thought about a question?" Ding Guomin, the magistrate of Qingyun County, said slowly.
He has no good impression of gangsters, and the Du family supported the large gangster den in Qingyun County.
Moreover, he had a premonition that the whole Hailong County would soon change. Supporting the elimination of the gangsters would bring no harm to him.
"Um?"
Countless leaders of aristocratic families looked at Ding Guomin.
They all knew that this person had been dormant for a long time. The moment King You killed the Du family, this person immediately snatched his rights back.
Now, the entire Qingyun County has been purged by him, and it can be considered as a piece of cake.
This person should not be underestimated.
Ding Guomin said: "Everyone, the advantages of the threshing machine are not just for the moment. I think you should know it better than me!"
Everyone nodded immediately.
"Since His Highness King You has made this request with such confidence, do you really think that King You only has this one sharp weapon?"
Everyone was suddenly startled and looked at Ding Guomin in shock.
Ninety-nine percent of the people present had not thought about this issue. First, they were short of time, and second, they really didn’t think much about it.
At this moment, they were reminded by Ding Guomin that they thought of this detail.
People who did not pay enough attention to Ding Guomin stood up straight, straightened their clothes, and then saluted to Ding Guomin.
"Sir, please clarify your doubts!"
This is the most shameless group of people, but at the same time they are also the most understanding of etiquette.
Ding Guomin himself was a scholar and a county magistrate, so he naturally deserved their courtesy.
Ding Guomin is not humble at all. He naturally has his own agenda when he says these words. He is really not so kind as to help these people casually.
"Although I still don't know what His Highness You Wang wants to do, I have carefully studied what His Highness You Wang did. He actually cares about people's livelihood."
Ding Guomin explained slowly: "In that case, the appearance of the threshing machine is definitely not an accident. Everyone... you might as well think about the tragic situation of the Du family in Hailong County!"
"Is he really as useless as the rumors say?"
Before, no one would have doubted the fact that King You was a coward.
But now, they are beginning to doubt.
How dare you, this coward, confront them like this?
He plays an open card with everyone. On one side, there are good things, and on the other side, there is a trade-off between interests.
This is not a game made by a coward.
Ding Guomin felt a little happy when he saw that everyone was following his idea, so he continued to guide: "Therefore, I suspect that this threshing machine is just the leader!"
"hiss--"
"Master Ding, do you have any basis for this?"
"Such a divine weapon is just the one leading the charge?"
Everyone was shocked and some couldn't believe it.
Ding Guomin actually had no clue. He came to the result after analyzing Li Zhao's behavior.
Regardless of whether Li Zhao has a back-up plan or not, he doesn't care. He will take action when he sees the right opportunity. He hopes to find a big leg, but this big leg cannot be without brains.
Therefore, King You is within the scope of his investigation.
If a threshing machine is used to fool this group of people, it can be regarded as handing over a certificate of surrender to His Highness Prince You.
If His Highness Youwang cannot understand, it means that His Highness Youwang himself is unreliable.
It’s okay not to have this thigh.
"Those who achieve great things should plan before taking action!" Ding Guomin pointed to the scene of thousands of people mobilizing to harvest rice and said: "Think about it, how many people in Jiaozhou have been able to do it for hundreds of years?"
Everyone was silent.
King You does have a way of winning people's hearts.
"What does Lord Ding mean?"
Hearing that someone finally praised him, Ding Guomin breathed a sigh of relief, but with a serious look on his face he said: "You and I are both people who have achieved great things. We should know the truth of choice."
Many people's expressions changed.
"Please let me know clearly!"
Ding Guomin complained in his heart, can these people really not analyze the pros and cons?
He didn't believe it.
Since he wanted to speak on his own, he was not afraid of being the leader, so he said: "Everyone, raising ruthless bandits... is not a long-term solution!"
"Since His Highness Prince You wants the inner sea of Hailong County to be clear, so what if we give him a clean Hailong County later?"
This remark made many people unhappy.
You Ding people have not cultivated their own power, so you will definitely not feel bad if you kill these tough bandits.
Seeing their physical pain, Ding Guomin sneered in his heart, but with a solemn look on his face, he persuaded: "Everyone, why are you still so confused?"
"What do you mean, sir?"
"King You just asked us to help. He didn't ask us to kill all the gangsters."
"ah?"
"You..." Ding Guomin continued to deceive: "You are the authorities and are confused! Think about it, what does His Highness King You want in Jiaozhou? It is the people's support and prestige. Is it enough to kill one Du family? It is not enough. ! The sword hanging over the heads of ordinary people is a gangster!"
Everyone's body was shaken and they realized it.
"This is what His Highness King You wants. If he can take away all the gangster dens with King You's guards, then he will get what he wants, and we can also get what we want."
"Isn't this trade-off worth it?"
"But...but the gangster is after all..." Some people want to say that this is our escape route after all, but they dare not say it.
The people of Ding were angry that they would not fight, and said: "All the bad apples among the gangsters will be left behind, and the rest should evacuate!"
"hiss--"
On a hot summer day, a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed out from the backs of all the nobles, making them feel chilly.
The magistrate of Qingyun County does not look like a good person.
