Chapter 106: Substituting one thing for another and using clever tricks to confuse the people!
Outside the Supervisory Office, there was bright fire.
Thousands of people surrounded the huge Supervisory Office.
Lin Hu walked in front, taking the lead!
'drink! '
A loud shout came from his mouth, and the wooden door of the Supervisory Office was kicked open in an instant.
He used a torch to illuminate the interior of the Supervisory Office, but found that there was no one in the huge Supervisory Office.
The hall was so clean, as if no one had ever lived here.
You know, when Wang Qingliu came here last time, he saw all kinds of luxurious jade artifacts placed everywhere in the Supervisory Office, which exuded an overwhelming sense of nobility.
How come he has become so poor now?
Wang Qingliu walked into the Supervisory Office with a grim face, his eyes scanning around privately.
The more I look at it, the darker its face becomes.
Even the tables, chairs and benches were replaced with the worst quality products!
This shows that someone had completely cleared out this place before him.
Thinking of this, Wang Qingliu clenched his fists and ordered Lin Hu:
"Search!"
"I don't believe they can completely empty out such a large Inspection Department."
"There must be a secret room here!"
Upon hearing Wang Qingliu's order, Lin Hu immediately led everyone to search inside and outside the Supervisory Office.
He even sent people to investigate the well inside the Supervisory Office.
The secret room that Wang Qingliu mentioned was not found at all.
For a moment, everyone was like a deflated ball.
Malaise.
No treasure was found! It was as if all the wealth in this county had vanished overnight!
Wang Qingliu's face turned extremely ugly, and he shouted at Lin Hu:
"Burn down the Supervisory Office!"
"Also, we're looking for people in the city, specifically the homes of wealthy merchants. Since the Supervisory Office and the County Magistrate can't confiscate any money, then the landlords and wealthy merchants must have money!"
"There are also aristocratic families. They should have servants on their hands. Bring your weapons and don't get hurt."
"Yes!" Lin Hu responded with his head down and immediately organized manpower.
Wang Qingliu watched them lose their momentum, and the scene of his mother rewarding those who had made meritorious contributions emerged in his mind.
As I recall, my mother was never stingy with rewards for her soldiers.
Since he has become the leader of this group of refugees, although he has no money to reward them, he can make promises to inspire their fighting spirit.
Thinking of this, Wang Qingliu shouted loudly:
"Cheer up! If you're wounded in battle, you'll be rewarded ten taels of silver!"
"A hundred taels of silver will be killed in battle!"
Upon hearing the high reward, the refugees instantly felt a strong desire.
Driven by desire, their support for Wang Qingliu, the guy who suddenly appeared, also increased.
Seeing how this group of disorganized refugees could be so easily inspired to such high morale, Lin Hu admired Wang Qingliu even more.
Although the saying "there will always be brave men when there is a big reward" is widely sung, the common people do not understand it.
Because they are brave men who are full of fighting spirit in the face of great rewards.
Before leaving, Wang Qingliu looked at the huge Supervisory Office, took a torch from the refugees, and directly set the door frame of the Supervisory Office on fire!
In an instant, the fire spread wildly as the wood burned.
This fire is different from the previous fire in the granary.
If it is said that there is an absolute isolation zone over there in the granary.
Then the Supervisory Office is completely different.
Not only are the houses made of wood, but they are also connected to other residents' homes in the city.
If it cannot be put out in time, this fire will burn down at least one street!
In the distance, Lin Shisan, who was escaping from the Supervisory Office with valuables, stared at the flames that suddenly shot up into the sky, stunned.
The young eunuch who was carrying things with him felt that the Master of Ceremonies had stopped, and stopped as well.
Turning back, he followed Si Li's gaze.
Everyone widened their eyes:
"He...they actually set fire to the Supervisory Office?"
"Sir, your prediction is absolutely correct. The refugees really intend to rob our Supervisory Office!"
"Luckily we left early, otherwise we would have been burned to death in the Supervisory Office by those crazy refugees."
"..."
"Let's go! To the slums." Lin Shisan, the clerk of the Supervisory Department, heard the discussions around him, came to his senses, and gave orders to everyone.
We must take advantage of the night and settle everything down before dawn.
Otherwise, wait until tomorrow when it is bright.
Their valuables will definitely be seen by someone with ulterior motives and reported to the group of refugees.
more importantly.
The other side cooperated tacitly. They first set fire to the granary, and then cooperated inside and outside to take down the city gate, inciting refugees to attack the city, first destroying the county magistrate's office, and then raiding the Supervisory Office.
There must be guidance from an expert.
If they were ordinary refugees, why would they think of asking for money from the Supervisory Office?
What the people say about their Supervisory Office is not a reputation for greed, but a reputation for cruelty!
Lin Shisan would never believe that someone would come to his house to extort money despite his bad reputation. He thought it was a spontaneous act of the refugees.
But who is the master behind this?
......
Overnight.
The huge Ziyun County was completely plunged into chaos.
All the wealthy businessmen and landlords in the entire county were looted by the refugees.
The restless refugees spared no one, whether they were their female relatives or maids.
Even at an older age...
Wang Qingliu stood on a high platform, surrounded by countless wealth.
They were all copied from the homes of wealthy businessmen and landlords.
"As promised yesterday."
"The injured will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and the families of the deceased will receive a hundred taels of compensation on their behalf!"
"I, Wang Qingliu, always do what I say!" Wang Qingliu finished speaking and clapped his hands lightly.
Lin Hu gave the order and immediately came forward with a smile on his face.
suggested:
"These days, people are forced to revolt mainly because they can't afford to eat and are oppressed by the government."
"My Lord, why don't you exchange these treasures for some food and land deeds so that the soldiers can settle down?"
This proposal and the name mentioned moved the refugees.
But in fact, it was what Wang Qingliu himself thought.
Tell Lin Hu to make the proposal on such occasions.
The purpose... is obvious, which is to find less silver and use land and grain to exchange for silver.
Now that he is rebelling, no matter how many land deeds he holds, they are useless. Every silver he keeps in exchange for a land deed will be profitable.
"Land prices are low nowadays, and the Lord is merciful. One hundred taels of land can be exchanged for fifty silver coins. The grain price can be sold at one-third of the market price to pay a certain portion of the compensation, and the remaining silver will be distributed to help us settle down!" Lin Hu shouted loudly.
Among the refugees, the pre-arranged to help suddenly burst into cheers.
"My Lord is righteous!"
"If my family can really be settled down, then I will give my worthless life to the master. I am willing to go through fire and water for the master!"
"I wish to follow the Lord's lead!"
"..."
Under their incitement, the refugees, who were not so civilized to begin with, suddenly shed tears of emotion.
In their minds, land is their lifeline.
Having land means having hope.
There is a severe drought this year, but as long as we can get through it, we will have land next year and the year after, and life will get better sooner or later.
Especially Wang Qingliu's act of using one hundred taels of land for fifty taels won the hearts of the refugees!
It was obvious that they were going to be abandoned in Ziyun County by Wang Qingliu, and they were so moved that they kept thanking Wang Qingliu.
Look at the pious look of the refugees returning home.
Wang Qingliu felt relieved and attributed all the previous misfortunes to Shen Qian:
Grandma!
Since leaving you, everything has been moving in a good direction!
