Crash!
The faces of everyone present changed, and they unconsciously clenched their fists and tightened their anus.
"Master Chen, you are kidding, we still have to make a living."
Tang Cheng forced a smile and bowed.
Others immediately followed suit.
"Yes, Master Chen, if you do this, isn't that asking for our lives?"
"Master Chen, we can discuss the donations later. You can't just leave us to die like this."
"Please think twice, Master Chen."
Looking at the noisy crowd, Chen Yu had a blank expression on his face.
"Okay, no more words, this isn't a request, it's an order."
"You just need to execute it, no bargaining."
None of these gentry and powerful people are good people. Their wealth is obtained through years of exploitation. Now they can be said to be taking from the people and using it for the people.
The scene was quiet.
Everyone's face was gloomy, with anger flickering in their eyes.
Tang Cheng put one hand behind his back and clenched his fist.
But after a moment, he loosened his fist and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Master Chen, we naturally want to do our best for the victims, but our family assets are limited. What we just took out is already most of our family assets."
"If Master Chen doesn't believe it, you can go check it out."
Tang Cheng's face was full of confidence.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Although he has a huge fortune, how can ordinary people find the place where he hides it?
Even if Chen Yu went to search the house, he would only lose a small part.
Want to squeeze him dry? Oh, wishful thinking!
After Tang Cheng spoke, many people stood up.
Like Tang Cheng, they expressed their views sincerely.
The others immediately followed suit and said similar things.
You want our property?
Okay, we will give it to you. This is all we have. If you don’t believe it, you can go and search our house.
But it’s hard to say how much can be copied.
Yin Zhao and others felt that the situation was a bit tricky.
These guys are indeed old foxes. The way they cooperate with each other makes it difficult for them to say anything.
Chen Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Is that really the case?"
"It's absolutely true. We are not hiding anything."
Tang Cheng was extremely sincere, "If Lord Chen doesn't believe me, we can list out how much each of our families owns and where it is."
"Yes, yes, yes! Please, Master Chen, trust us."
"God has mercy on us. Sir Chen, please do not doubt our sincere desire to help the disaster relief efforts."
Everyone was talking at once, as if they had suffered a great injustice.
Some people even burst into tears on the spot, cursing and swearing that they did not have much property.
"Okay, since you all want to write, then write it."
Chen Yu smiled and said, "However, you must not only write down how much your own property is, but also how much other people's property is and where it is located."
What?
Tang Cheng and others were stunned.
Not only write about your own, but also write about others?
this. . .
Just as he was feeling doubtful and uncertain, Chen Yu spoke again.
"If your writings aren't as extensive as others, don't blame me for the crime of deception and killing you on the spot."
"If anyone conceals something for someone else, they will also be punished as a deceitful and unreported person and will be killed on the spot!"
"Yin Zhao, bring them paper and pen."
Yin Zhao immediately gave the order, and in just a moment, a piece of paper and pen was placed in front of everyone.
"Everyone, please."
Chen Yu spoke with a smile.
The scene was dead silent.
Everyone lowered their heads, looking at the paper and pen in front of them, with layers of cold sweat on their foreheads.
Even an experienced Taoist like Tang Cheng felt his heart pounding and felt extremely embarrassed.
It’s so cruel. This move is really cruel.
The powerful gentry in the twelve counties are all very familiar with each other. Although they cannot say that they know exactly how much property each of them has, they are pretty close.
But that's what makes it difficult to write.
When writing your own information, if you write too little, but others fill in their information truthfully, what should you do?
If you lie and don't write anything when writing about others, who knows whether the person concerned will tell the truth to save his own life?
Even if they want to protect each other, who knows how much is appropriate?
You wrote three properties and I wrote four. Doesn't that make sense?
There are so many people here. If just one person makes a mistake, everything will be over.
How could this guy Chen Yu come up with such a vicious plan?
Everyone looked embarrassed, holding their pens in mid-air, unable to put them down for a long time.
Duan Heshun looked at Chen Yu and was shocked.
Although he is a corrupt official, he is not stupid, otherwise he would not be able to thrive in a place like Mozhou.
So he understood Chen Yu's request instantly.
How talented is it to come up with this method?
This method broke up the entire powerful group in one fell swoop, making them suspicious of each other and wary of each other.
It is impossible to form an alliance.
Shen Chen and others were also very excited.
Master Chen is amazing! Who can compare to her ability to turn things upside down?
Seeing the looks of Tang Cheng and the others, Chen Yu sneered.
Haha, a bunch of old foxes, still want to hide it from me?
I can kill you with just a prisoner's dilemma.
You have no idea how many tricks I have seen on the Internet before.
If it wasn't for finding out your background and knowing where your property and food are hidden, why would we go through so much trouble?
I'll just chop you all to pieces.
"I'll give you another half hour. If you can write it down when the time is up, you can be spared. If you can't write it down? Haha."
