"Grass people..." Shu Kongru said awkwardly, no longer thinking too highly of himself, and restrained from his previous 'acting', and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Lin Zhihuang didn't wait for Shu Kongru to finish speaking, and warned again, with a hint of coercion in his tone: "Think about it before you speak, I don't want to hear any more high-sounding words."

The atmosphere in the hall was tense for a moment. At this moment, Bile strode in from outside the hall and stood next to Shu Kongru in the hall. He immediately attracted the eyes of Shu Kongru and his servant.

After Bi Lie stood still, he respectfully handed over his hands to the superior Lin Zhihuang and reported: "Dalangjun, my subordinates have separately interrogated the eight tribesmen who came here with this merchant, as well as the refugee children who were tricked by the maids.

Enough said."

Lin Zhihuang sighed and said, "Oh, how about it?"

Shu Kongru's eyes trembled slightly. This young gentleman actually started to find out his details through the people around him when Shu Kongru entered the Yamen!

Billie continued to hand over his hand and reported the news from the interrogation: "This merchant indeed bought these children with grain from the refugees on his business trip. In order to buy these children, the merchant's subordinates were in order to guard the grain and prepare to rob it.

There were conflicts among the refugees, and several of them died before they made it all the way to Hexian County. These children had indeed come from a decent place and were not robbed by force. The merchant could be considered to have saved the lives of these children, because they were all raised by their parents.

Children who are prepared to exchange their children for food will have a good impression of this person."

Lin Zhihuang's expression softened a little after hearing Bi Lie's report.

It doesn't matter that Shu Kongru had other motives. He was just trying to create an image of his own loyalty. He had kidnapped or robbed these children, and that would be a crime worthy of death.

Fortunately, when Shu Kongru came here this time, it was true that he was putting on a show and setting up a "loyalty" persona, but the fact was exactly what he said. He kept alive all these children who might have been eaten by their parents.

.

Although this person is dishonest, fortunately he is really doing good things.

If Shu Kongru was the kidnapped refugee child who came here to perform a show and separated human flesh and blood for his own selfish desires, then no matter what his purpose was or how capable he was, she, Lin Zhihuang, would never let him go.

Lin Zhihuang looked relaxed, but Shu Kongru became more and more frightened.

The young gentleman in the hall is so thoughtful!

Now he even asked his subordinates to report the investigation results directly in front of him without any hesitation. Was this because he was certain that he would not be able to get out of here?

When Shu Kongru thought of this, he was horrified and felt that his life was at risk. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his legs trembled slightly.

In front of smart people, Shu Kongru did not dare to be mysterious anymore, corrected his attitude, and said truthfully: "This gentleman, the common people do have other purposes! But it is not a bad intention, he just wants to test whether your father really loves the people as much as the outside world says.

Like a son!"

Shu Kongru was afraid that if he didn't speak again, he would have no chance to speak later. Those who understand current affairs are distinguished.

There was a smile in Lin Zhihuang's eyes. An arrogant person must subdue him with absolute force before proceeding with anything else.

Otherwise, on the surface he recognizes you as his master, but in reality he thinks very highly of himself. When you, the 'master', are easy to fool, the 'master' may be used as a sword by the 'subordinate' at some point.

If you change your mind and change the 'master', the 'master' will be in bad luck.

Shu Kongru was a merchant from a poor family, he was also shrewd, and his character was good judging from the previous events. He was exactly the talent Lin Zhihuang needed urgently at the moment.

Now that Lin Zhihuang has confirmed that he is not an evil person who uses any means to achieve his goals, what Lin Zhihuang is thinking about is how to subdue him.

The waterwheels in her waterwheel workshop need to be sold, not only to benefit the people, but also to deprive the wealthy country gentry. The person who takes charge of this matter is not something that ordinary businessmen can do.

It just so happened that this person walked into the door and was hit at the gunpoint. She was in urgent need of someone, so she had to use more forceful methods to subdue him in order to make the final decision and subdue him for her own use.

King Lu has already set out to suppress the bandits. At this time, Hexian County is all under her control. If she doesn't take advantage of this unnoticed opportunity to recruit talents and develop, how long will it take?

Wen Nanfang was now able to understand the little lord's thoughts from her micro-expressions.

Seeing the corners of Lin Zhihuang's mouth slightly raised at this time, he knew what she was thinking at this time, and Liuli's eyes were also dyed with a smile. She was looking at the merchant in the hall and wanted to use it for herself.

"Why do you need to confirm whether my father has the heart to love the people? After confirming, what are you going to do?" When Lin Zhihuang asked this, the oppressive tone in his voice gradually disappeared.
