Xiong Wencan is not stupid to be the governor. Before he could figure it out in his mind, he opened his mouth and had an order:
"Block the news and bring everyone to the governor. The governor will inquire in person."
He instinctively felt that there must be a big problem here.
People eat for food.
Food is the lifeblood of the army.
And at this moment, King Gui's subordinates still have the intention to sell polished rice?
I haven't figured out a single question yet, but more questions popped up. The more Xiong Wencan wanted to understand, the more questions popped up.
Even in the end, the whole person was sweating profusely from thinking, and he simply gave up his own thinking, and prepared to ask the bottom line in person.
Soon, the hawking fishermen were quickly brought to Xiong Wencan's governor's yamen by the yamen servants...
But at this moment, not only Xiong Wencan was present in the lobby, but also all the important officials in the city, as well as the Jinyiwei in the city gathered.
A group of people sat on the seats with expressionless faces, looking down at the fishermen below, their faces sinking like water, but their eyes were shining brightly.
puff, puff...
"Master, please forgive me!!!"
Seeing such a scene, the fishermen who sold rice immediately fell to their knees on the ground, and all the fishermen were trembling so much that they were about to pee in fear.
It was also a coincidence that they were the first to leave the fisherman's village, and even the leader was a middle-aged man with triangular eyes.
However, at this moment, this group of people is no longer as arrogant and cunning as before, and all of them are shaking as if they were sifting chaff.
Xiong Wencan didn't have time to watch their ugliness, so he slapped the gavel and said directly:
"Report to Ben Du everything that happened after you went to sea."
While speaking, a mountain of pressure rolled over the entire lobby.
Then, without any pause at all, Xiong Wencan pointed at the man with triangular eyes who was kneeling below, and said sharply, "You speak first."
Without any threat or torture at all, the middle-aged man with triangular eyes immediately prepared to tell everything he knew like pouring beans.
"In order to save my life, the villains went to sea to fish. They met fishermen under King Gui's command. They said that King Gui could exchange those rotten fish and shrimps in the sea for food..."
However, before the middle-aged man with triangular eyes finished speaking, all the officials in the lobby were startled.
"What did you say?"
Xiong Wencan yelled fiercely, looked at the man with triangular eyes with burning eyes, and then sternly shouted:
"Exchange for grain? Exchange rotten fish and rotten shrimp for polished rice? It's ridiculous!!!"
As he said that, he slammed down the gavel in his hand, and with a bang, an evil spirit surged in the hall...
Chapter 348
With a bang, evil spirits rose everywhere!
All the officials in the lobby tightened their scalps, and then Xiong Wencan's stern voice came from next to their ears:
"Nonsense, courting death!"
Xiong Wencan didn't believe what the middle-aged man with triangular eyes said.
He knew that rotten fish and rotten shrimp were definitely not real rotten fish and rotten shrimp, but those fish and shrimp that could not be eaten.
However, when he saw Zhu Youchen's polished rice, he was shocked.
How could such polished rice be exchanged for those worthless rotten fish and shrimps?
Xiong Wencan has been on the coast for a long time, and he has always been well aware of the savagery and cunning of fishermen.
Moreover, fishermen have been at the bottom of society for a long time. It is difficult for a governor like Xiong Wencan to believe what these people say.
Not only Xiong Wencan did not believe it, but none of the officials in the lobby believed it.
26 "Such absurdity deserves severe punishment."
"Avoid the most important and take the lightest, clever words and tricks, it's time to fight."
"Under the three trees, the truth must come out."
Cold words sounded in the lobby, and all the officials looked at the fishermen below blankly.
If Zhu Youchen hadn't been involved in this matter, they wouldn't have seen these fishermen at all.
However, the attitude of Xiong Wencan and many officials frightened the fishermen below, and they immediately kowtowed like smashing garlic and defended frantically:
"The adults are wronged, but what the villains say is true."
"It's really an exchange."
"A villain dare not lie to an adult."
"Not only us, but more fishermen have exchanged..."
"..."
All the fishermen were pale and kept defending, sweating profusely in fear, and many of them trembled as if they were sifting chaff.
The official law is like a furnace, and the official law is like a prison!
If you don't understand this, you will die here if you don't make it right today.
Especially looking at the expressionless Jin Yiwei Qianhu on the side, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and felt a bone-chilling chill.
At this moment, this group of people all regretted their move to sell rice in the city.
The officials present were all frowning at the way they looked at them, it didn't look like it was fake.
But it is also possible that it is a confession.
How could such polished rice be exchanged for some rotten fish and shrimp?
There is definitely something tricky in this!
Moreover, Zhu Youzhen did have a lot of thought-provoking questions. The smarter the person, the easier it is to complicate the problem. Suddenly, all the officials dared not be careless.
Sitting next to him, Jin Yiwei Qianhu even casually greeted a Baihu, and after whispering a few words, the Baihu officer left in a hurry.
Xiong Wencan's eyes flashed, and he leaned forward, ignoring their excuses at all, and waved his hands to greet the yamen servants on both sides.
"Call me."
"Ah, please forgive me, my lord..."
The middle-aged man with triangular eyes screamed in horror, but the next moment he was pushed to the ground by four wolves like tigers.
A big and round yamen servant even raised the water and fire stick in his hand, and hit him on the buttocks.
bang.
The middle-aged man with triangular eyes straightened his body, his eyes were bloodshot and stared, and he let out a miserable howl: "Ah... forgive me..."
"Forgive me, forgive me...ah, I...what I said...ah..."
"Really... it's all true...!!!"
The miserable howling made the surrounding fishermen tremble, but all the officials remained unchanged, only the middle-aged man with triangular eyes screamed miserably.
It's just that there are only a few words in his mouth.
Crack... ah... clap... aw...
In an instant, the man with triangular eyes was beaten to pieces, and the wailing in his mouth became weak, and he still insisted that he was telling the truth.
However, Xiong Wencan and other officials were unmoved in the slightest, and they all sat in their seats with expressionless faces.
They all understand.
The yamen servants have mastered the skills in their hands. The pain is really painful at this moment, but it may not be really fatal.
Especially these strong fishermen.
But gradually, the wailing of the triangular-eyed man turned into a moan, his voice was completely low and inaudible, and he lay on the ground completely motionless.
Seeing this, the rest of the fishermen became agitated in an instant, their faces were almost distorted in horror, they subconsciously huddled together, and their faces were as pale as paper.
The yamen servant stopped, knelt down and sniffed the triangular eyes, then turned around and told Xiong Wencan, "My lord, I fainted."
Xiong Wencan waved his hand without changing his face and ordered: "Take it down."
At this moment, he really believed that the words of the triangular eye might be true, that King Gui Zhu Youzhen really exchanged rotten fish and prawns for food on Yizhou Island.
But this move is also Xiong Wencan's killing chickens and monkeys, calling the remaining fishermen to make it easier to ask questions later.
The surrounding fishermen heard the words, not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became even more frightened.
The result of the triangular eye came first, and they were even more trembling.
All the officials in the hall frowned and thought deeply at this moment, and they all saw that the man with the triangular eyes was telling the truth.
But why?
King Gui has so much food?
Moreover, this is not a simple grain, it is polished rice that none of them have eaten.
Polished rice! !
Why did King Gui use "rotten fish and rotten shrimp" to exchange for the polished rice in his hand.
They will never simply think that this is Zhu Youchen buying people's hearts?
If you buy people's hearts like this, the price is too high, and it is impossible.
Food is limited and desires are hard to fill.
There must be other deep meanings for King Gui's deeds! ! ! .
Chapter 349
Zhu Youchen didn't have any deep meaning in doing this.
How did they know that Zhu Youchen's system was terrifying.
The "rotten fish and rotten shrimp" in their mouths can be transformed into various seafood products of later generations through systematic filtration.
And the more poisonous organisms, the higher the nutritional value.
Zhu Youchen just took advantage of this feature of the system to mobilize more people to collect food for him. As for expanding his influence, it was dispensable.
From the beginning to the end, Zhu Youchen only believed in the strength in his own hands.
There are endless food units, and there are endless population and soldiers.
However, the position in which we live is different, and the angle of view of the problem is also different.
It's like they don't believe the words of the triangular eyes, they don't believe that Zhu Youchen's actions don't have any deep meaning.
Xiong Wencan frowned even more, his mind flooded with thoughts.
"Exchanging rotten fish and rotten shrimp for polished rice is a loss-making business? King Gui is a fool."
"How can a person who created the current situation without making a sound be stupid?"
But, is Zhu Youchen a fool?
Obviously not.
Not only was he not a fool, but he made everyone feel an unparalleled pressure in their hearts.
Not only them, even the Ming court at this moment felt the enormous pressure from Zhu Youchen.
However, the crowd scratched their heads and couldn't think of any answers at all. They could only temporarily suppress the doubts in their hearts and continue the interrogation.
Although it is said to be long, it is actually less than two breaths.
In just this short period of two breaths, all the officials have already figured out a thin sweat.
"call!!!"
