Turbulent Times Chapter 361: All mouths make gold

At this time, facing countless anxious, resentful, or numb eyes, Wang Junlin walked up to the wooden platform with his hands behind his back, and a group of soldiers escorted more than a hundred people into the stands. And between him and countless common people is an elite army of 10,000.

Wang Junlin stepped onto the wooden platform, first glanced at the silent crowd, and then looked at Dong Bo who was leading a group of soldiers from afar, with a smile on his lips.

Taking two steps forward, Wang Junlin faced tens of thousands of people, his dantian exerted force, and his voice was heard several miles away: "This official is the Marquis Qin An of the Great Sui Dynasty, the Zhangye County of Yongzhou granted by His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor. General Yingyang, General Zhenyuan Wang Junlin, you must have known me before, but from today, you must remember my appearance!"

"There has been heavy snowfall since the beginning of winter last year, and until the beginning of spring this year, the weather was mostly gloomy, and heavy snow fell from time to time, which caused snow disasters in the three counties in the north of Yongzhou. Then there were rumors that the Marquis set fire to the mountains, attracting God's wrath is coming."

"This Marquis dares to do things bravely. When the Tuyuhun people invaded and attacked Xiping County last year, 5,000 Turkic cavalry pretended to be Tuyuhun people and burned, killed and looted in our Zhangye County. This Marquis lured them into the Qilian Mountains. I set a fire and burned them all to death, and indeed burned some of the creatures in the mountain. But as locals, don’t you know how many creatures there are in the Qilian Mountains in the winter? Just this matter Will God send a disaster?"

"It's what Benhou did, and I patted my chest and admitted it, but if it wasn't what Benhou did, how could I admit it? Hou You can't argue. Today we brought 174 people. Many of you should know these people. They were scattered all over Jincheng County a few days ago, spreading rumors and fabricating rumors under the name of this Marquis. , doing some things to oppress the people, the Marquis was naturally very angry when he heard about it, so he sent someone to arrest them!"

As Wang Junlin turned his head, the smile in his eyes gradually turned cold, and he raised his voice, "Who will these people tell them now, and what is their purpose, black and white, right and wrong, in front of everyone, to everyone Make it clear."

The two soldiers guarding the man on the far right pushed him forward, and the rather fat man staggered two steps and was pushed to stand still in front of the stage.

"This man is Lizheng from Shili Town. We have been robbed of all the people who came to Jincheng County from the north. He also said... and Feng..."

Many victims of the disaster immediately recognized this person. Seeing how he was being tied up, the crowd in the audience murmured in surprise.

The Lizheng from Shili Town was pale and gloomy, and bowed his head in front of the people in the city. Wang Junlin waited patiently for a moment, and when he saw that he didn't say a word, he frowned.

Those two soldiers had good eyesight. Seeing this, they stepped forward and kicked Lizheng hard at the crook of his knees. Lizheng thumped and knelt down in front of the stage facing the common people, screaming involuntarily in pain.

"Tell all the truth, otherwise your life will be worse than death and your whole family will be killed." Shen Guang whispered coldly beside him.

Hearing the murderous intent in Shen Guang's tone, Li Zheng, who is usually very powerful in the town, twitched violently a few times, raised his head and glanced at the people, then lowered his head and cried loudly: "More than a month ago, after the snowstorm occurred, a steward came from Longxi Li's family and called me together with some people in the county... In short, this rumor was spread by Longxi Li's people, and I led people to rob the victims' property And in the name of Qin Anhou, Longxi Li Shi ordered me to do this."

The people in the audience were silent for a moment, and then there was a loud discussion.

At the edge of the clearing, Dong Bo, who was watching quietly from a distance, suddenly turned ugly. Seeing that the situation was beyond control, Dong Bo gritted his teeth, stomped his feet fiercely on the spot, turned around and ran towards Sima's mansion.

Wang Junlin said solemnly: "Next!"

In this way, more than a hundred people told the truth one by one. When the government tried to raise food and couldn't raise it, the victims suddenly became angry and began to curse the Li family in Longxi loudly, making a noise like a frying pan.

The so-called public opinion makes money, if one or two people say that, these people may not believe it, but a total of 174 people said that, and each of these people has some victims who know them. The next pass is ten, ten pass a hundred, and the words of these people are believed very much.

"Some of you are under the instruction of some officials. Now tell them their names and official positions one by one. This Marquis guarantees that your family will never be threatened or retaliated against."

Some people trembled all over, their faces paled quickly, their lips lost all color, and they pursed their mouths without saying a word.

Shen Guang smiled coldly, and said softly: "If you don't tell me, not only you, but your family members will also die."

These people burst into tears immediately.

At this moment, they finally realized how stupid and desperate it was for them to participate in dealing with Wang Junlin.

On the wooden platform, Wang Junlin looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "This Marquis is waiting for your answer."

One after another, Wang Junlin and Shen Guang pressed forward step by step.

These people probably understood at this time that they might have reached their limit today. In front of the people all over the city, all the plots were clearly explained. Even if Wang Junlin spared them, the people would not be able to forgive them. Shi, I will definitely not stand up for them, let alone...

These people suddenly raised their heads and looked at a group of people surrounded by Shen Guang's subordinates in the distance.

The comfort of the family members finally broke the last line of defense in their hearts, and one of them took the lead in saying sadly: "The one who instructed the villain is Hu Guangming, the secretary of Jincheng County..."

"The one who instructed me to do these things is not only the manager of the Li family in Longxi, but also Sun Hong, the governor of the governor's mansion, otherwise the villain will be an official servant..."

…

A series of official titles and names came out of these people's mouths, and every time a name was said, the people below cursed.

Looking up at the stunned people under the stage, Wang Junlin suddenly raised his voice: "Did you all hear clearly just now? Are you not deaf? You should ask your conscience, although I, Wang Junlin, have killed many The Tuyuhun people and the Turkic people, but did they ever do anything to harm the people of the Sui Dynasty? Did they ever do anything to offend the elders of Yongzhou? Why do you treat evil thieves like relatives and good people like enemies? I don't expect you to thank me for defending my country, and I have already raised food for you."
