Zhu Yunwen managed to extract some useful information from the waiter.
For example, the government also got involved in this matter.
The government's vigorous crackdown only added a touch of mystery to this despicable and shady business, essentially providing them with many fig leaves to cover up the truth.
For example, the government's efforts eventually led to the conclusion that it was indeed related to ghosts and gods, and that the soldiers even went so far as to remind the women of Jincheng about this matter at the city gate.
Although those people believed it was really the work of ghosts and monsters, only a minority knew the truth.
In any case, Zhu Yunwen learned the truth about this matter, and at the same time, he understood why they had to use the supernatural explanation.
Of course, this argument is very useful for local government officials and those behind-the-scenes bosses.
They can not only use this method to evade responsibility, allowing the government to use this excuse not to investigate, but also to deceive others.
After learning the whole truth, Zhu Yunwen naturally would not let go of the local government, nor would he easily let go of those who secretly helped the boss behind the scenes to do this business.
This includes the demon-faced Rakshasa, the men in black, and some of the informants who assisted the men in black.
Only by eradicating all of these illegal and criminal activities can we truly crack down on them.
After learning the information he wanted to know, Zhu Yunwen suddenly knocked the waiter unconscious.
Zhao Qingzhu said to Zhu Yuntong:
"So what should we do next?"
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said:
"First of all, this matter must be discovered by the people themselves, and the people themselves must tear off the fig leaf covering the government's involvement, so that the people can slap the government in the face."
Zhao Qingzhu immediately asked in confusion.
"Wouldn't that cause the people to question the government? It probably wouldn't be a good thing for the imperial court either."
Zhu Yunwen sneered and said:
"The imperial court and government need to be thoroughly humiliated, otherwise, such things will continue to happen. It's also not good for the people to trust the imperial court too much, as this will lead to a certain outcome."
That is, there are some local officials who are corrupt, while the local people have unwavering trust in the government.
This would lead to the official causing the local people to be led astray, which is not a good thing.
In other words, the people can unconditionally trust the Ming Dynasty, the court, and the government, but they must be skeptical of certain officials.
In the past, I instilled absolute trust in the Ming Dynasty's people, the government, and its officials. Now I realize that this may not have been a good thing.
Even though these officials tacitly acknowledged and even promoted the idea that these crimes were the work of evil spirits, the people actually believed it.
If things continue like this, it will be easy for the people to be exploited by some officials. Therefore, I will personally lead the people to see the true colors of some local government officials.
This will give them more autonomy to think critically and to question and investigate when they encounter similar situations in the future.
Only in this way can we avoid being led by the nose by others, and only in this way can more people have their own thoughts and opinions on many things.
This way, local officials with selfish motives or those who engage in improper conduct won't be able to lead the people by the nose.
Our Ming Dynasty aimed to ensure that officials were self-disciplined and impartial, and that the court was absolutely impartial, but often self-discipline was not an easy thing to achieve.
Only through the clear-headed questioning of many ordinary people can officials be forced to act voluntarily.
Zhao Qingzhu seemed to understand, but not quite, and then said to Zhu Yunwen:
"So how exactly should we do it?"
Zhu Yunwen:
"Naturally, we should make a big fuss about this, the bigger the better. As soon as it's light in the morning, we'll make a big show of bringing this waiter to the yamen."
And by making everything clear, even if the government wanted to take action, they couldn't do anything to us, and they wouldn't dare to act openly.
In this way, we can continue to fan the flames. At this point, the government will definitely still insist that it is the work of evil spirits.
As the matter escalated, they became increasingly convinced that it was the work of evil spirits.
Just when everyone was paying close attention to this matter, and the government had irrefutable evidence to say that this was a strange paranormal event.
Then, we'll lead many ordinary people to expose this lie ourselves. That way, the officials involved will be utterly ashamed, and the lie will crumble on its own.
Zhao Qingzhu understood, then gave Zhu Yunwen a thumbs-up and said:
"This time, we will not directly use the identity of the Crown Prince or the power of the superior government to solve this problem, but will use methods and the power of the people to solve it."
This also lets people all over the world know that they should have the ability to think independently and to expose lies.
Zhu Yunwen nodded and said:
"That's roughly the idea."
After making up his mind, dawn began to break. Once it was fully light, Zhu Yunwen brought candles laced with sleeping pills and food that had been drugged.
They took the rope and dagger brought by the waiter, tied up the waiter, and then left the inn.
As soon as he came downstairs, he attracted the attention of countless guests, tourists, and diners at the inn.
Zhu Yunwen wanted to make this a big deal, so naturally he had to start from here.
