C2045 So That's How It Is
"I see!"
When Ye Meng heard this, he came to a realization.
He turned around and saw Kang Mazhi greeting the people warmly.
Unfortunately, the reaction of the people in the capital was ordinary. Many people even turned their heads away when they saw Kang Ma. They did not want to see him.
In fact, the people in the capital were not like this at first.
Especially after Kang Mazhi's first private visit, he killed a corrupt official who used his power to bully others. This caused many people to cheer for him.
Everyone thought that the heavens had eyes, and that their dynasty had produced a Lord!
Executing a corrupt official. After putting on an act, Kang Mazhi patted his butt and returned to the palace in a carefree manner under the worshipping gazes of the masses.
At this point, logically speaking, it should be perfect.
However, after Kang Mazhi left, the backer of this corrupt official made his move.
Those civilians who exposed the corrupt official were all miserably tortured. There were even many civilians who had their families destroyed and people killed because of this.
Just as the civilians were screaming for no response, the great and wise Great Emperor Kang Mazhi appeared once again.
When he heard the complaints of the civilians, he immediately flew into a rage and ordered a thorough investigation of the case.
The civilians cheered and cheered. They were glad that they had met the Lord of Wisdom.
When Kang Mazhi was investigating the case, the mastermind appeared. He kidnapped one of his servants and lightly pushed all the crimes onto the servant.
However, although Kang Mazhi's intelligence was not high, he was not stupid to the point of not knowing anything. Of course he did not believe it.
Unfortunately, following his investigation, he really found out that the tragedy of the civilians in the capital was indeed caused by a servant. It had nothing to do with the mastermind behind it.
Kang Mazhi, who believed in the results of his investigation, naturally forgave the person behind the scenes. He ordered the execution of the servant.
When the civilians saw this result, although they were not very satisfied, they were not disappointed. They were already very satisfied that they could force the masterminds to be in such a sorry state.
However, very soon, the civilians realized that every time Kang Mazhi went out for a patrol and punished the corrupt officials and slaves, the civilians would immediately take revenge.
Furthermore, every time Kang Mazhi investigated, he would find some insignificant servants, minor officials, and other unimportant people.
In short, those who committed heinous crimes were all unimportant people. The big shots in the court were all righteous people who could take the initiative to kill their kin!
As time passed, the civilians began to feel some resistance towards Kang Mazhi's subservience.
Because they did not obtain any benefits. Instead, they had to face the revenge of some forces.
Furthermore, ever since Kang Mazhi started to patrol the area, the number of corrupt officials had increased. It seemed like there was no end to it.
At this moment, who didn't know that Kang Mazhi's patrol was just to show off and let his name be recorded in the annals of history?
Hence, all the big shots in the imperial court fought to get what they wanted.
Sending their slaves to do evil. It was to let Kang Mazhi play the role of a Lord and make it more comfortable. At the same time, those big shots could also get some benefits.
Therefore, the people of the capital, who had seen through the essence of the situation, naturally did not have a good impression of Kang Mazhi.
Especially this fellow, even now, he still liked to go out of the palace every two to three days.
After listening to Cheng Weijia's explanation, Ye Meng finally came to a realization.1
It turned out that the so-called 'private visits by the Lords' were actually all lies.
All of this was just a show that all the officials were cooperating with Kang Mazhi to put on an act!
