In a criminal case where human life is at stake, and someone has come to report the case, Yang Zhi, as the official in charge of one party, naturally cannot pretend to be deaf and dumb and ignore it.

"Song Zhutou, you immediately gather all your subordinates, and we will go to Xishi with Wang Xiannan immediately." Yang Zhi listened to Wang Dazhui's words, and immediately ordered the head catcher below.

Although Yang Zhi is an old fritter in officialdom who has an oily accident, once he gets serious, the efficiency of this work is still quite good.

"Report to your lordship, all the catches in the yamen have been assembled." It didn't take long for Song Zhutou to report immediately.

"Without further ado, let's go right away and target the Hongyun supermarket." Yang Zhi ordered directly.

"Yes, sir!" Song Zhu was so quick that he immediately led the team to set off.

Wang Dazhui and Yang Zhi also followed in a carriage and headed towards Hongyun Supermarket.

The Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion is very close to Chang'an West City, and you will arrive at it after crossing a street.

As soon as Wang Dazhui and Yang Zhi arrived at the scene, they immediately felt that the seriousness of the matter was much greater than they imagined.

At this time, hundreds of people had gathered at the entrance of Hongyun Supermarket.

From afar, they could be seen holding banners with bloody words that read "Resolutely boycott Hongyun Supermarket!" Kill for your life! ”

The scene looked chaotic, and there were a lot of onlookers.

"Unscrupulous businessman, kill my father! And say that it's not their problem, do you say that there is still a Heavenly Principle King Law in this world? "A man dressed in linen and filial piety, with a mole on his face and long white hair, did not look like a good stubble, and was shouting loudly.

The sound was very loud, and it could be heard from hundreds of meters away.

"Could it be that the things in the Hongyun supermarket really eat the dead?" The melon-eating crowd asked.

"That's still fake, haven't you seen that everyone is dead? The coffins have been carried, and the whole family is wearing linen and filial piety, it must not be wrong! Melon-eating crowd B said with an exaggerated expression.

"However, didn't this Hongyun supermarket sell grain to our poor at a fair price some time ago, and such a conscientious merchant will also sell poisonous things?" The melon-eating crowd C heard the conversation between the two on the side and ran over to interject.

Listening to the words of Crowd C who eats melons, Crowd B who eats melons sneered: "Brother, the world is as black as a crow, why are you so naïve?" Do you really think that someone will be stupid to lose money and make money? ”

"But I often buy things in Hongyun Supermarket, and their things are very good, the vegetables and fruits are fresh and clean, even the grain is good rice, good noodles, and even moldy ones have never been seen." Eating melons and people C, said in disbelief.

"Maybe they were good before, but it is estimated that the loss was too great, so now they start selling fakes, so they kill people!" Eating melons, with a suddenly realized expression, explained aloud.

There are no longer a few such discussions, after all, the influence of Hongyun supermarket in Chang'an City is still very large, and the people who purchase goods here every day are thousands, and now there is such a thing, and most people must be very concerned about the truth of things.

"Look at the people from the government!" Someone saw the arrest of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion who rushed to the scene, and immediately shouted.

The crowd suddenly looked at the arrester from the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, wondering how the government would solve this problem.

If there are attentive people, you will find out that the family that made trouble at this time, after seeing the appearance of the official mansion, looked a little nervous, and made eye contact with each other.

However, everyone was attracted by the sudden officers and soldiers and the arresters, so no one noticed the strangeness of these people.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the government will handle the case, and the idle people will retreat immediately!" Song Zhutou shouted as he led people through the middle of the crowd.

Seeing that Song Zhutou brought people over, the troublesome family stopped shouting and scolding, and looked at Song Zhutou in unison.

"What are you doing here with the coffin and crying and fussing?" Song Zhutou took the initiative to step forward and asked.

"Lord Guancha, the things sold in this supermarket are poisonous and killed my father, I want to seek justice and avenge my father." The man who took the lead wiped his tears and said with tears in his eyes.

"What's your name? You said that the things in this supermarket were poisonous and killed your father, why didn't you report it to the authorities, but instead gathered a crowd here to make trouble? Song Zhutou was well-informed, and he was not confused by the man's crying and wiping away tears.

"This ...... Adults, villains don't dare to report to the official! I heard that the proprietor behind this supermarket is powerful! The man dodged and made up a reason full of loopholes.

"You say the owner of this supermarket is powerful? Then you still dare to lead someone to carry the coffin here to block the door of people's houses? Song Zhutou asked in a cold voice.

Hearing this, the surrounding people also reacted, and began to point and scold the family who wore linen and filial piety.

"It turns out that these people are all liars, and they want to come here to make trouble and cheat money!"

"It's strange for me to say, if they really have grievances, shouldn't they go to the government to report the case?"

"Crazy, for the sake of money, I really even used my own bones, I didn't hurry to find a place to bury my father, but I took the opportunity to make trouble when my father's bones were not cold. Such a person is really shameless. ”

“……”

"Song Zhutou is right, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, bring all these people back to the yamen for me." Yang Zhi had just arrived at this time, and walked to the center of the crowd and said directly.

"Hmph, let's not go, who knows if you are colluding with officials and businessmen to take their money and want to lock us up?" The man suddenly rolled his eyes and shouted loudly.

The words of the filial piety man startled Song Zhutou, and he hurriedly scolded: "Boldly Diao Min, Lord Yiyang of Jingzhao Mansion is present in person, and you dare to slander the officials of the imperial court?" ”

The woman on the side, who looked like the man's wife, pulled her husband. Sobbing softly.

The man shook it off and shouted at the people around him, "Have you all seen it? The people in the government are simply found by Hongyun Supermarket! ”

Not to mention, the man's heart-rending accusation won the trust of the people around him, after all, in ancient times, people had a certain rejection and distrust of the government itself.

Just like the song in the play, most of them are officials who oppress the people, embezzle and take bribes, and the master of the blue sky who is the master of the people, and there can only be one in hundreds of years.

As a result, the discussion of the people around him began to fall to the man and the others again.

"It doesn't look like these people are fake! They didn't dare to go to the government to file a complaint, probably because they were afraid of collusion between officials and businessmen! ”

"Yes! In these years, officials have spoken to the rich and powerful, who cares about the life and death of our poor people. ”

"This Hongyun supermarket may look bright on the surface, but it may also be a black-hearted vendor behind it."

The people who eat melons are like this, they don't have their own position at all, and many times, they believe what others say.
