Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

After Wang Ergou finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao had not yet spoken.

The onlookers around started talking about it, especially those who had participated in the technology exhibition before.

"No way! These people are actually planning to break into the Changle Earl's residence? Isn't this something thugs would do?"

"Are these people maggots in their heads? Earl Changle worked hard to develop firearms, cement, and other things for the Ming Dynasty, and these people want to harm him?"

"That's right, and there are so many people here, and there are women in the mansion! If anyone has bad intentions..."

"Don't forget, Lord Changle is the prince consort, and the princess is at home! If anything were to happen, the consequences would be disastrous!"

Unlike the people in the city, these people who were talking had all seen the results display of the Academy of Science and Technology.

The people in the city were bewitched into thinking that Wei Wu would harm the Ming Dynasty, but they knew very well that Wei Wu was wholeheartedly working for the Ming Dynasty.

After listening to what these people said, the people in the city also found something wrong.

At this moment, Doctor Xu glanced at Liu Sanwu with his eyes slanted, then turned to Zhu Yuanzhang and said:

"Your Majesty, you also heard that the so-called outstanding talents Liu Sanwu mentioned were nothing more than a group of thugs who broke into other people's houses."

"Even though Lord Changle's methods were somewhat harsh, he was facing a mob and was worried about Princess Weiyang's safety, so it's understandable."

"On the other hand, Mr. Liu Sanwu, without asking why, pointed the finger at Lord Changle. It can be said that he has ulterior motives!"

"I even suspect that the forced entry into the Marquis of Changle's residence was deliberately instigated by someone behind the scenes. Their intentions deserve death!"

Having said that, Doctor Xu turned and looked at Wang Ergou.

"Ergou, tell me honestly, was it your idea to smash the door, or did someone ask you to do it?"

Hearing Doctor Xu's question, Wang Ergou first looked at Zhu Yuanzhang timidly, then gritted his teeth and said:

"Doctor Xu, you know we are all peasants. Even if we were given ten times the courage, we wouldn't dare to do such a thing!"

"It was all because of that scholar. He told me that if we don't catch Lord Changle, Lord Changle will definitely take revenge on us one day."

"They also said that Lord Changle was going to destroy the Ming Dynasty, and that we would be back to a chaotic world with nothing to wear and nothing to eat, and our children wouldn't be able to go to school, so..."

After hearing this, everyone present who was not a fool basically understood what was going on.

The so-called scholar was obviously well versed in human nature and grasped the pain point that Wang Ergou feared the most.

As a powerful person, Wei Wu wanted to take revenge on commoners like Wang Ergou, but he couldn't even resist.

Coupled with those alarmist words, it is very easy to provoke ordinary people who have little knowledge.

After all, the people are afraid of returning to troubled times and afraid that their current peaceful days will disappear.

In the end, as long as one person takes the lead, the others will follow immediately, and this is the current situation.

……

After Wang Ergou finished speaking, he immediately turned around and looked around in the crowd, hoping to find the scholar.

After watching for a long time, Wang Ergou still didn't see the man, and he panicked.

"That, that scholar, he's gone! Your Majesty, Doctor Xu, I didn't lie, he was just here!"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Zhang Daniu. I just saw him talking to Zhang Daniu. Zhang Daniu, what do you think?"

Wang Ergou, panicking, looked at Zhang Daniu, then ran over with a terrified look on his face and grabbed his sleeve.

But Zhang Daniu was also afraid of being held accountable, so he kept his head down and dared not speak.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang also understood what Zhang Daniu was worried about and spoke directly.

"Tell us, and we will pardon you as well! And the rest of you, tell us what you know, and we will pardon you all."

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, Zhang Daniu no longer had any concerns and immediately told him everything.

After Zhang Daniu finished speaking, the people around him spoke one after another and confessed everything without hiding anything.
