These villagers never expected him to say that.
They had originally intended to use their superior numbers to coerce and bribe Wang Dongliang into taking them along to testify.
I never expected that he had someone above him.
He Yushen mingled in the crowd and, seeing some people hesitate, immediately spoke up, "What you said is wrong."
"So what if you have connections? We have so many people. If we help Sheng Jingheng recant his testimony, the higher-ups will definitely reopen the trial."
"If we help Sheng Jingheng, he might give each of us tens of thousands of yuan as a token of his gratitude!"
Sheng Yueqing also said, "That's right. If you earn millions but won't give them to us, then we'll just earn tens of thousands ourselves."
"Why not take free money?"
Tens of thousands of yuan is not a small amount.
Upon hearing this, the villagers...
yes.
We can also help Shengjing Heng.
Anyway, he has money.
If they help Wang Dongliang give false testimony, Sheng Jingheng might retaliate against them.
After all, they're from Kyoto; they can't be decided with just a few words.
They might have other connections, and then they could retaliate against them, and then they'd be finished.
So the villagers changed their tune.
"Then we won't help you. We'll help Sheng Jingheng; he's got money anyway."
When the time comes, they will definitely be able to get the money from Shengjing Heng together.
After all, it was Shengjing Heng who had contracted their land before, so it's likely that his money was easier to get than Wang Dongliang's.
So everyone turned around and headed to the city to testify for Shengjing Heng.
Wang Dongliang was surprised that the situation had turned around, and he quickly went to stop them.
"No one is allowed to go!"
If these people testify on Sheng Jingheng's behalf, how can he possibly demand compensation?
If things go wrong, you might end up in jail.
The people above only promised him money after he brought down Shengjing Heng.
If he fails to win the case, he will have to bear the consequences himself.
Therefore, he cannot allow this group of people to help Shengjing Heng.
He then changed his attitude, saying, "Fellow villagers, I apologize for my poor attitude just now."
“I know you also want to help my father seek justice.”
“Let’s sit down and discuss this again, and see how to sue Sheng Jingheng and get as much compensation as possible from him.”
Seeing that he had changed his tune, the villagers were curious to hear what he had to say.
"Okay, then tell me what to do."
Wang Dongliang really didn't know what to do. "Wait for me for a moment."
He first went to the convenience store to make a phone call to the person who had contacted him before.
When the other party heard that the villagers were willing to help testify and kill Sheng Jingheng, they were naturally happy and immediately gave him advice.
The villagers tearfully denounced Shengjing Heng's heinous act of disregarding human life during the trial.
It would be best to portray Shengjing Heng as a corrupt official who abuses his power for personal gain.
As for the compensation...
The person on the phone meant to extort one million yuan from Shengjing Heng first, and then distribute it among the entire village.
When the villagers heard it was a million, their eyes widened in disbelief.
They had never seen so much money in their lives.
I was immediately very excited.
An old woman said excitedly, "I'm good at this. I'm the best at ruining other people's reputations."
Another old woman said, "I can also cry, make a scene, and threaten suicide. When the time comes, I'll cry and say that Shengjing Hengduo is a scoundrel, and you'll be more believable if you all lend a hand."
The person on the phone seemed to have complete faith in the destructive power of these villagers, instructing Wang Dongliang to take charge and avoid any mishaps, or else he would be severely punished.
Wang Dongliang was also afraid of the person on the phone, so he nodded and bowed in agreement.
They saw the villagers gathering together to discuss how to smear Sheng Jingheng's reputation.
At this moment, Sheng Yueqing stirred things up by saying, "We haven't even seen the money yet, who knows if we'll actually get it?"
"If you can give each of us 50,000 yuan first, we'll believe you."
The villagers heard this.
yes.
We haven't even seen the money yet, so who knows if they can keep their promises?
An old woman, fearing she'd end up with no money and working for free, said, "Wang Dongliang, why don't you have the person on the phone give us 50,000 yuan first?"
"Once we get the money, we're all in this together, and that's how we can unite."
If we can't see the money, maybe they're scamming us.
"Yes, we need to get the money first."
Even if it doesn't work out, you'll still have money.
"Yes, take the money first."
Everyone agrees with this approach.
Wang Dongliang thought it made a lot of sense.
He did receive threats from the person on the phone at first.
That's why I foolishly did it.
But they forgot to ask for money first.
"Okay, I'll go get it first."
He wanted to take one million, and then discuss how to divide it based on the situation.
When the other party heard that the price was one million, their face turned pale.
"You want money before anything's even done? Do you have a death wish?"
Although Wang Dongliang was afraid of the other party's intimidation, he wanted money even more.
“Those villagers said they wouldn’t work unless they were paid, and they would even help them recant their testimonies.”
"Just tell me whether you'll give it to me or not."
Anyway, all he wants is money.
The other person took a deep breath, clearly angry.
But he still calmed them down, saying, "You play the first round, get the evidence ready, and I'll give you the money when you leave the courtroom."
"Otherwise, if we give you money now, people will have something to use against us."
Sheng Yueqing wanted them to bribe the villagers so that she could use that money to frame Sheng Jingheng.
Unexpectedly, the other party wasn't stupid either and didn't want to give money before the matter was settled.
Let Wang Dongliang calm down the villagers first, and then give them the money after the trial.
Wang Dongliang was reluctant, but he went back and told everyone.
The villagers were even more unhappy, and Sheng Yueqing stirred things up again.
"He won't even give us tens of thousands of yuan. What will we do if he just walks away after the job is done? Where are we supposed to get our money back?"
