Feng Aotian is the protagonist? Take it!

Seeing the place packed with people, Saten couldn't help but sigh, "It really is worthy of being the Magic Dynasty. There are so many people so early in the morning."

"What are they doing?"

In addition to the common people in front, there were many square tables with many small squares that had never been seen before on them.

Seeing their curious expressions, Heng Yu explained, "They were keeping vigil for the Sorcerer King last night and played mahjong all night long."

"Mahjong?"

Lu Ming looked at the items on the table with curiosity.

at this time!

Suddenly, a man's roar came from the front.

"Do you know how much it costs to cure them!?"

"That's right! If you let them come to our place, what if they infect my child with the disease!?"

"Are you trying to infect us with the disease and make money from us!?"

Hearing the shouts of the people ahead, Lu Ming and Zuo Tian suddenly realized what was going on, and cold sweat rolled down their cheeks.

"Miss, the person on the podium is Zhang Liang, right? Does he really have that plan?"

"If it is true as the people say, then his behavior is extremely bad."

Lu Ming's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked at the man standing on the podium with a serious face.

As the successor of a news agency, Lu Ming had seen all kinds of sensational news.

There was a doctor before, who, in order to sell his medicine, deliberately let the people get seriously ill, and then sold the medicine to the people and made a huge amount of money.

The same.

however.

At the moment when Lu Ming's expression turned grim, Heng Yu next to him sighed and shook his head, saying, "It has really started."

Perhaps sensing that Heng Yu knew something, Lu Ming asked curiously:

"Is it really starting?"

"That's right, they've started to smear Zhang Liang again." Heng Yu glanced ahead and continued, "If you look carefully, you'll find that the people in front are not with the people who are shouting."

"······"

"······"

After hearing Heng Yu's words, Lu Ming and Zuo Tian looked forward and carefully observed the people in front of them.

"What are you doing? Lord Zhang Liang is helping the poor!"

"That's right! If we want to rebuild the slums, they will definitely come here."

"I have no problem with them coming here! But they can't bring infectious diseases with them. What if they get infected?"

"Yes, if my child gets infected, can you take responsibility?"

"Hey! Can you guys stop being so selfish? It would be fine if you didn't help, but why are you causing trouble here?"

"Will you take responsibility for me?"

"this···"

No matter how the people argued, they all gave the same answer: "Are you going to take responsibility?" "Are you going to pay me?" "Are you going to treat my illness?"

Under such universal response tactics, the people who argued with them were instantly speechless.

Most of the people present were poor. They had to rely on the jobs provided by Zhang Liang to make a living, so they naturally had no ability to be responsible for others.

Lu Ming and Zuo Tian saw the quarrel among the people.

As if Lu Ming had noticed something, he asked Heng Yu:

"Is Zhang Liang doing good things? Then why is he being smeared by those people?"

"It's nothing more than taking advantage of other people's interests. If they don't get rid of Zhang Liang, they won't be able to continue to exploit the people."

"······"

Lu Ming could clearly see that the people who were causing the commotion all had hideous and wretched looks, with sinister auras between their brows.

It is obvious that they are not good people at first glance, and they may be gangsters who specialize in doing things for money.

Judging from the people's reactions and the content of their arguments, Zhang Liang was indeed doing good things.

It is clear at a glance what is good and what is evil.

and.

In addition to his plan to cure the poor, he also seemed to be planning to rebuild the slums.

This is no small matter!

Could it be!

Did he take so much money just to save the people of the Magic Dynasty?

Thinking of this, Lu Ming's cheeks were covered with cold sweat, his face was full of shock, and his body was covered with goose bumps unconsciously.

(Perhaps... I am tempting others with my own petty intentions...)

Putting aside his previous prejudices, Lu Ming could tell from the people's reactions that they all respected Zhang Liang.

"I'll go stop those people."

"etc."

Just as Lu Ming was about to take action, Heng Yu grabbed Lu Ming's wrist and said, "Let them go."

"what?"

Hearing Heng Yu's words, Lu Ming and Zuo Tian were stunned. Lu Ming was a little surprised and said:

"Ms. Knight, whose side are you on?"

"I'm definitely on Zhang Liang's side."

"That···"

Before Lu Ming finished speaking, Heng Yu looked at Zhang Liang and said with a smile: "This is all within his expectations, just leave it to him."

"All as expected?" Lu Ming showed a puzzled expression, "W-what do you mean..."

suddenly!

Just when Lu Ming and Zuo Tian didn't understand, another voice came from the crowd in front of them. It was a very pleasant female voice.

"I'm a medical student! I know how dangerous their illness is! If I want to cure them, the cost alone is 3 gold coins!"

Hearing the girl's shout, the people present were instantly panicked and the scene suddenly became noisy.

"You must be kidding... Is it so expensive?"

"No..." The old man shook his head and continued, "Infectious diseases are more difficult to deal with than other diseases. In this country... 3 gold coins is indeed the starting price."

"Is this true or not..."

Everyone knows that medical treatment is very expensive in this country. If you are not careful, your savings that you have worked so hard to accumulate will be wiped out at once.

When faced with disease, everyone has a fearful attitude.

"This is really bad. There are hundreds of thousands of people living in the slums alone. Wouldn't this cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins?"

"No, take a closer look." The old man looked behind him and said solemnly, "There are not hundreds of thousands of them, but at least three hundred thousand."

"Three hundred thousand!?"

Upon hearing this number, the people present turned pale and took a deep breath.

Even people who were bad at math knew that it would probably cost more than a million gold coins to cure them.

After receiving this number, not only the common people looked solemn, but even Lu Ming and Zuo Tian had black lines on their faces.

Too many...

This is not over yet.

Just when the atmosphere was extremely tense, a different pleasant female voice came from the other side of the crowd, shouting to the people:

"Zhang Liang is a liar!!! I noticed before that adventurers are collecting herbs on a large scale. In my opinion, he is preparing for today! He wants us to get sick and then sell us the medicine at a high price! He is a black-hearted criminal with a beastly heart!!!"

After hearing the girl's shout, the people who had been speaking for Zhang Liang, although very dissatisfied, were unable to refute.

Her logic was very rigorous. Even though the people trusted Zhang Liang very much, their position was still shaken and they all looked worried.

For the people of the Demonic Dynasty, disease is really terrifying.

Once you get a serious illness, you will either die or spend all your savings, and life will be worse than death.

"······"

Hearing the girl's call, Lu Ming fell silent.

She had thought so before, but after thinking about it carefully, Lu Ming felt that his previous inference was very unreasonable.

Simply put, if Zhang Liang really intended to do this, there was no need for him to go to so much trouble. He could have just quietly introduced the pathogen.

In this way, he could quietly infect the people with the disease, and then take out life-saving medicine to save the people.

By then, he will not only be successful but also make money.

But Zhang Liang obviously didn't do that.

The situation is very bad now.

Lu Ming's eyes became serious. She thought that Zhang Liang's enemies had already grasped this point and were using it to make trouble.

"Miss Knight, if this continues, Zhang Liang will be in a very bad situation." Lu Ming became anxious.

She could foresee that if the situation continued to develop, Zhang Liang would be accused of endangering public safety, and the people would begin to panic and eventually stand against him.

obviously.

This is a very insidious commercial propaganda war.

If it causes public outrage and riots, the consequences will be out of control.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry."

"Ms. Knight, don't you understand the seriousness of the matter? Zhang Liang will be overwhelmed by public opinion!"

"This is all within Zhang Liang's expectations."

"You..."

Seeing Heng Yu's confident attitude, Lu Ming and Zuo Tian looked at each other and a cold sweat slid down their cheeks.

"Everyone, think about it carefully. Zhang Liang has not had any profitable projects so far. Whether it is acquiring companies, hiring hundreds of thousands of employees, rebuilding slums, or saving people in slums, he is just talking and putting on a show. He has not spent any money at all!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into chaos.

"This... seems to be the case?"

"Indeed, indeed. Although we have become employees of Mr. Zhang Liang, we don't know what to do. He said that we will get three times the salary, but that is just a verbal promise."

"That's Lord Zhang Liang, he wouldn't lie to us, right?"

After the girl's call, people's positions were obviously shaken, and they could vaguely sense that something was wrong.

"He is just acting with the business owners, deliberately giving people the illusion that he is very wealthy! He is trying to establish a wealthy and generous persona in order to lure ordinary people into taking the bait!"

Ordinary people are not the business owners themselves, so they don’t know whether Zhang Liang really spent the money or whether he was just putting on a show.

Under the guidance of words, they will naturally believe the side that is more reasonable.

As the girl continued to guide and reveal information, the people present all turned pale. The more they listened, the more they felt something was wrong, and their heads were buzzing.

"I can't stand it anymore." Lu Ming said seriously, taking a step forward and preparing to take action.

She believed that if she explained everything to the people, they would know that Zhang Liang was wronged.

The other party is obviously misleading the people, confusing their consciousness and misleading them.

Lu Ming knew very well that when people gathered in large numbers, their IQ would drop significantly, and they would instinctively follow the large group.

This is the herd effect.
