Outside the majestic prefect's residence, it was already overcrowded at the moment.
Countless people gathered here.
More than 30 corpses were lying in the open space outside the prefect's residence. Under the icy wind, small snowflakes fell from the air, making more than 30 bodies lying on the ground stiff.
Next to these bodies, there were people crying and choking, and many people around.
The whole scene was very chaotic.
The people gathered here came to Hu Zhao for justice. In the eyes of the people, only Zhang Xiu mines the coal sold in the market.
Zhang Xiu is the representative of the government. People gather here to ask for a statement.
"Creak!"
Suddenly, the door of the prefect's house opened.
Hu Zhao, dressed in an official robe and a Jinxian crown, strode out. Before he came out, he had already let people know the general situation, so he came out because he had a bottom in his heart.
More than 30 people died in a row, Hu Zhao's face was extremely grim.
Hu Zhao does not believe that coal and stone are poisonous. Because it snowed and the weather turned cold during this period, he used coal and stone every day and never showed signs of poisoning.
All of a sudden, countless people were poisoned, and things were strange.
Hu Zhao didn't believe it.
Hu Zhao came out and looked at countless people outside. In a flash, there were countless people gathered, shouting.
"Mr. Hu, you are the master of Qingtian. You are our master! Five members of our family died overnight. How can we live without our children and grandchildren? "
"Hu Taishou, this is Zhang Xiu's coal stone, let Zhang Xiu give a statement."
"Please make Hu Tai shou the master!"
……
In the crowd, shouts came one after another.
Countless people are shouting.
The expression on the faces of countless people was extremely angry. Because they think that Zhang Xiu cheated them. The reason is very simple. All the coal and stone are mined by Zhang Xiu.
Now there is a problem with the coal and stone, which is Zhang Xiu's problem.
Zhang Xiu must be responsible!
This is the voice of everyone.
Hu Zhao did not speak, but stood quietly at the gate of the prefect's house. His sharp eyes swept all the people present one by one. He is still quietly watching, has not spoken.
Under the cold Su of Hu Zhao, the noisy scene gradually quieted down from the beginning.
Choking sound, also completely disappeared.
All eyes fell on Hu Zhao.
The reason why they yelled and made a scene was to ask Hu Zhao to do justice. For the common people, they think that the coal and stone are sold by the merchants under Zhang Xiu's command. They can't get back compensation from Zhang Xiu.
This is what the people think.
Seeing that the people were quiet, Hu Zhao said in a brilliant voice, "now I don't speak. OK, just listen to me. Remember, listen to me. If you have any idea or dissatisfaction, you'll have to wait until I finish
All the people nodded together.
Hu Zhao continued: "I already know that some people died of coal and stone poisoning. When you came to the prefect's mansion, did you take the coal and stone you bought and ask the merchant? "
"Although everyone knows that general Zhang arranged for people to sell coal and stone, he was in huaixian city. Only the anthracite shop in Anren street is the only legal selling point under general Zhang. "
"The coal and stone of other shops were not arranged by general Zhang."
"You bought coal and stone from merchants of other shops. When something goes wrong, you think it's general Zhang's problem. Have you ever thought that in case something goes wrong? "
Hu Zhao continued: "the most important thing is that the price of coal and stone sold in the coal and stone shop under general Zhang in Anren street is one cent higher than that in other places."
"If all the merchants' coal and stone were purchased from general Zhang. They buy at a high price and sell at a low price. Are there any businessmen who do business at a loss? "
Hu Zhao raised questions.
WOW!!
Countless people are talking in an uproar.
Everyone was awakened by Hu Zhao's words, because the truth is so simple that no one is willing to do business at a loss.
Especially businessmen.
If a businessman buys at a high price but sells at a low price, it's a brain problem.
The only problem is coal and stone.
Only in this way can the price be low.
Countless people were in a panic.
They originally thought that the coal and stone were produced by Zhang Xiu. As long as they find out Zhang Xiu correctly, they will be able to run away from the monk but not the temple. But after Hu Zhao's words, once it wasn't Zhang Xiu's coal and stone, who would they ask for compensation?
The people are very worried.
There are many voices of discussion.
Sobs, again.
Hu Zhao raised his hand and pressed down to signal the people to be quiet. With Hu Zhao's action, the people gradually stopped talking, and they were all quiet. They looked at Hu Zhao again, waiting for Hu Zhao's reply.Hu zhaolang said in a voice: "we will investigate the coal and stone poisoning."
"If there are illegal businessmen selling inferior coal and stone, our official will punish them severely. In addition, if there are deaths or people who have bought the coal and stone, I promise that those who should be compensated will be compensated and will not delay. "
"Three days. Please give me three days."
Hu Zhao gave a definite time and said again, "in three days, I will investigate everything, come up with a compensation plan, and compensate all the people."
"No way!"
In the crowd, there were people shouting.
"In case all the businessmen run away in three days, who shall we go to?"
"We don't agree!"
"Please give us an account now."
The people in the crowd yelled. After some people started to make noise, in an instant, the people who were still calm started to make noise. Countless people keep talking and disagree with Hu Zhao's arrangement.
Ordinary people are short of ideas.
They gather here with a blind attitude. If someone in the crowd agrees to the three-day terms, all the people will follow and will not insist.
There are people to guide, countless people refuse.
Hu Zhao listened to the people's words, frowning, because now the settlement compensation, it must be impossible.
He didn't know the details.
If we want to compensate the people, we must wait for him to find out the situation and the source of the problem. Otherwise, the foot doctor can only solve the problem of headache.
When Hu Zhao was in a dilemma, all of a sudden, the people outside the prefect's residence began to make a noise.
"Get out of the way, all of you!"
A stern voice came from the crowd.
There are soldiers in front of the road, and Zhang Xiu strides in behind. Behind Zhang Xiu, Shi Zhang, Dou Yu and Niu Li, who were detained by Wang Yue, were closely followed by a group of businessmen and Shi Qi.
All the merchants, as well as Shi Qi and other assassins, were brought by royal guards arranged by Wang Yue. Only with these people can we solve the problem of coal and stone. Without these people, there will be less persuasion.
When people saw that Zhang Xiu was coming, they made way one by one.
soon, Zhang Xiu arrived at the prefect's residence.
Hu Zhao immediately saluted. He thought that Zhang Xiu knew about the trouble caused by the common people, and said: "Lord, you are incompetent and can't stabilize the situation."
"I don't blame you!"
Zhang Xiu replied with a smile.
When Hu Zhao saw Shi Zhang and others, he was surprised and asked, "Lord, what's the matter with them being detained?"
Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "this time, Shi Zhang and others are responsible for coal and stone poisoning. Now, it has been verified. Next, leave it to me. "
Hu Zhaomei's head goes up. Unexpectedly, it's like this. When he is at a loss, Zhang Xiu solves the problem.
"I'll do it
Hu Zhao was relieved. Although it was Zhang Xiu who dealt with it, it was good for Hu Zhao to solve the people's problems.
The rest, he didn't care.
