Winning the Lottery

Fang Weiyan waited in the yamen for a while, and then Cheng Feng led his men to bring Squire Lin over.

Fang Weiyan sat under the plaque of "Bright Mirror Hanging High, his gaze fixed on the kneeling Squire Lin, and threw down the indictment in his hand.

What do you have to say?

Squire Lin initially wanted to argue, but after seeing the evidence clearly, he was stunned.

His face turned pale instantly; he never expected that Liu Yiming and the others would confess.

"My lord, spare me! My lord, spare me!"

Squire Lin was terrified, his face deathly pale as he begged for mercy.

Seeing that his own servants had just been beaten to death by the yamen runners, he knew that the other party was absolutely serious.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive. "My lord, if you are willing to spare me, all the gold and jewels in the Lin family mansion will be yours."

Squire Lin kowtowed frantically.

Fang Weiyan sneered upon hearing this, "Your gold and silver jewelry have already been confiscated by the government, so where is it still yours?"

"Someone come here!"

"Exist!"

Upon hearing this, the officers on either side immediately stepped forward.

"Take him out and execute him!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the person on the left and right immediately shouted and dragged the other person out.

Then, in front of countless people, he beheaded them all and displayed their heads as a warning.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Weiyan wrote another notice.

The notice was filled with the shady dealings these people had committed in collusion.

Then they ordered the entire household of these people to be searched and confiscated.

It was already past midnight, but the streets were bustling with officials coming and going.

Under the cover of darkness, some of the students gathered around the notice and carefully read the evidence of the crimes written on it.

This is similar to what they used to say in private.

Seeing these people all beheaded and their heads displayed in public, the people felt a surge of joy.

By the time night had fallen, all those who were to have their homes ransacked and those who were to be beheaded had already done so.

Fang Weiyan finally relaxed.

In this way, Pingshui City was completely under his control.

But that wasn't enough. He controlled an entire prefecture. Jiangling Commandery had eleven counties in total, and Linbei County was under his control.

There are still ten counties that Fang Weiyan needs to clean up.

During the previous interrogation, Liu Yiming and others also implicated the county magistrates of these areas.

Once he takes down these county magistrates, no one in this prefecture will be able to stop him.

The problem is, once these counties are captured, who will be sent to govern them?

That's a real problem.

Fang Weiyan rubbed his head. Uncle Fu is alright.

However, Uncle Fu is currently managing Linbei County, Uncle Fu is unable to attend to all of these matters.

Fang Weiyan looked at the evidence he had collected. Good heavens, not one of the ten county magistrates in this area was clean.

"I wonder how many of these counties are left. If not many, wouldn't it be better to gather all the people from these places into Pingshui City?"

Fang Weiyan pondered for a moment. When he went to Linbei County Linbei County, countless people had starved to death there, leaving only a few hundred people.

There are still seven or eight hundred people left, many of whom fled from other villages.

The problem is whether there are enough houses in Pingshui City Pingshui City to gather people from more than ten counties.

"No, we can also send some people to Linbei County. Linbei County is being managed quite well for the time being."

Fang Weiyan rubbed his temples, feeling that this plan might not be a bad idea after all.

The main thing is to see how many people are left in these ten counties.

It's already dark today. Let's send some people to inquire about it tomorrow. Also, Pingshui City needs some work.

Fang Weiyan rubbed his shoulders, yawned, and went back to his house.

After Fang Weiyan returned to his house, he didn't go to sleep immediately; instead, he went back to Earth.

I wonder if the lottery ticket I bought a few days ago has been drawn yet?

Fang Weiyan finally had time to check the lottery. After taking out his phone and searching, the winning numbers quickly appeared.

"This number matches, this number matches too, the third number..."

Fang Weiyan took out the lottery tickets he had bought and began to check them one by one.

After checking the numbers against the list and then glancing at the winning amount, he was overjoyed, but then felt a little disappointed.

Second prize, over four million yuan.

Although he already knew beforehand that he had a high chance of not winning the first prize.

But seeing it now, I'm still somewhat disappointed.

Did I not win the first prize because my luck wasn't particularly strong?

Fang Weiyan then checked and found that the second prize could theoretically reach five million, but it was very rare, while he had won more than four million.

If you look at it that way, his luck doesn't seem particularly bad.

However, with over four million, plus the previous two million, that makes over six million.

No, you need to pay taxes on lottery winnings.

Even so, his wealth has increased significantly in an instant.

In just over a month, he, a recent college graduate, has become a millionaire.

Besides this sum of money, the homes of Squire Lin and others were also confiscated, and a considerable amount of money will be recovered later.

As for the box the little princess gave him, Fang Weiyan didn't plan to spend any of the things inside.

Since we're not short of money right now, we should keep this for now.

Pingshui City has more than 10,000 households, so the amount of supplies needed will be much greater.

This means that the amount of supplies to be purchased will likely be significantly more than before.

"The warehouse definitely needs to be expanded, but we have to be careful not to attract attention. After all, large-scale transactions are bound to draw attention, especially since we keep buying but not shipping anything out."

"Yes, we need to think of more ways to make money. Once we have enough money, we can use some of the purchased supplies to build up Jiangling Commandery, and the rest can be transported to impoverished mountainous areas to help the children there."

Fang Weiyan thought for a moment, and then came up with an idea.

Since we're going to buy supplies anyway, it's no big deal to give some extra to the children in the mountains; it can also provide some cover.

Given Fang Weiyan's current abilities, he will have more ways to make money in the future, so it's definitely possible for him to set aside some money to help children in mountainous areas.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Weiyan left the room and went to the wishing well.

Sensing Fang Weiyan's arrival, Silver Scale swam out, flicking its tail, and the number of coins at the bottom of the wishing well increased considerably.

"I'd like to know, how is the luck associated with koi fish calculated? Is there a specific calculation method, or is it possible to clearly perceive just how much luck they possess?"

Having won the second prize, Fang Weiyan still wanted to figure out if there was a way to specifically sense how much luck he had.
