"Lord, who is this Ma Yuanyi, and why is the lord so concerned about him?" Early the next morning, when Qiu Chi helped Ye Zhao clean up the case, he couldn't help the doubts in his heart after all, and when he saw that there was no one around, he asked in a low voice.

"It's hard to say yet, but we'll find out soon." Ye Zhao sighed and said, "This matter is related to some of my conjectures, if it is really as I think, then it will be interesting." ”

"Lord, it's not good!" As he was talking, he saw Gao Sheng running in in a hurry and panting in front of Ye Zhao, directly picked up Qiu Chi's water bowl and drank it dry in one go.

"What happened?" Looking at Gao Sheng's appearance, Ye Zhao frowned.

"Somehow, rumors spread in Suiyang City overnight, all saying that the lord's judgment of the case was unfair, biased in favor of the Zhang family, disregarded the law, and was not worthy of being an official." Gao Sheng said: "That Zhang Wu was originally going to come to some Mao today, but he was injured by someone who didn't know how to use a stone, and now he is at the doctor's place." ”

"Is there anyone who has caught doing it?" Qiu Chi frowned.

"No, I can't find it at all, Zhang Wu was injured at that time, and the people around him applauded, and some people even wanted to gather people to attack the county government." Gao Sheng Rush Road.

"My lord, if it really causes a civil uprising, this matter will not have a good reputation for my lord." Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao worriedly: "It's better to post the list and explain the facts of the case to the people." ”

"It's useless." Ye Zhao shook his head: "The people have been suppressed for too long, they don't care about the case itself, who broke the law has nothing to do with them, they just use this matter as an outlet, plus someone is secretly fueling the flames and demagoguery, so naturally there is today's matter." ”

"The lord is ......," Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao.

"For a long time, although the law clearly states that the scribes are guilty of the same crime as the common people, it is not so easy to implement it." Ye Zhao said with a smile: "As soon as the official took office, he dealt with Li Yong, which made the people feel that the official was on their side, but this case, Zhang Wu was not guilty, but Zhang and Ma An were put on death row, and there will naturally be a contrast in the heart, and even if someone has a heart to provoke it, it will become the official and the scholar colluded to oppress the people, if it is deliberately induced by others in words, the official will become a person who was originally upright and upright, and asked for his life for the people and finally betrayed the people and stood on the side of the scholars." ”

"This ......" Qiu Chi's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at Ye Zhao and said, "These people are too ignorant, don't they ask what happened?" ”

"The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, and sometimes, people's words are really terrifying!" Ye Zhao shook his head and said: "And the people are the easiest to be deceived and instigated, right or wrong, sometimes it really doesn't matter, it just can incite the whole city overnight, it seems that some people finally can't sit still." ”

"Lord, who is behind the instigation?" Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao suspiciously.

"It's not clear yet, but I think we'll know soon." Ye Zhao shook his head.

"Envoy, it's not good!" Jiang Sheng hurriedly rushed in, clasped his fists at Ye Zhao and saluted: "A large number of people have poured out outside, surrounding the county government. ”

"So fast?" Ye Zhao nodded and said, "It's okay, solve this matter first, and then find out the people behind the scenes." ”

"Lord, now that the crowd is angry, it's better to hide first!" Jiang Sheng smiled bitterly: "There are thousands of people outside. ”

"Joke, when the lord is in the northern Xinjiang, tens of thousands of Xianbei iron horsemen can't move the lord, and thousands of people dare to show off their might in front of the lord!?" Ding Li, Fang Yue, Dian Wei, Guan Hai, and Meng Hu came in from outside the door and said loudly: "Lord, thirty soldiers have been prepared, ready to fight at any time!" ”

"This is different from the northern frontier, and the people are not enemies, no one can do anything without my order!" Ye Zhao said solemnly.

"Whoa!" The five of them bowed down and took the order.

"Let's go, go out and have a look." Ye Zhao took the saber handed by Qiu Chi, hung it on his waist, and strode towards the gate of the mansion.

Seeing this, Jiang Sheng and the others also gritted their teeth and went out with a group of county guards.

Outside the county office, the originally spacious streets were already crowded with people from all sides at this moment, Ye Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned his head to look at Jiang Sheng and said, "In my Suiyang City, there is also the Taiping Sect?" ”

"Yes, the Taiping Sect is now extremely popular, not only in Suiyang, but also in the eight counties of Liang State, there are Taiping Christians preaching." Jiang Sheng bowed and said.

"But the official was negligent." Ye Zhao suddenly realized that since he took office, he had been busy with county affairs, but he didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Taiping Sect, but he didn't expect the Taiping Sect to be so huge.

"Ye Zhao, do you still dare to come out!?" In the crowd, a man saw that Ye Zhao actually came out, his face became unpleasant, and he pointed at Ye Zhaodao.

"The official acts, acts rightly, sits up straight, and is worthy of heaven and earth, and even more worthy of his heart, why don't you dare to come out?" Ye Zhao looked at this person's eyes and narrowed slightly, and said coldly: "But everyone, although the law does not blame the public, but you have openly violated the majesty of the imperial court by besieging the county government like this, are you not afraid that the imperial court will send troops to suppress it?" ”

"What a good one, you help the abuse, oppress the people, you ......" The man asked sharply, but was directly interrupted by Ye Zhao.

"Since the official took office, in addition to the bully Li Yong, in order to relieve the burden of the people, I implore the four heads of the family to pay for the work, for those who are unable to pay taxes to make a living, not only have the money to repay the taxes, but also to save some surplus money to live, not long after the official took office, I don't know what did wrong, and the people were dissatisfied, and the people of the whole city came to surround my county office!?"

A group of people were questioned loudly by Ye Zhao, and many people calmed down, indeed, since Ye Zhao took office, not only did he not do anything angry and resentful, but did a lot of practical things.

The person who shouted before saw that the people around him were gradually calming down, and he felt bad in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Then why did you help that martial arts pit harm goodness!" ”

"Good?" A smile flashed in Ye Zhao's eyes: "Are you saying that the person who conspires with the adulterer to murder his own husband is good?" ”

"Uh......" The person who spoke was stunned when he heard this, and then he was shocked to realize that he had been tricked by Ye Zhao unconsciously, and the last thing he wanted to deal with Ye Zhao was a criminal case.

"Don't ask about right and wrong, just ask about the result, yes, this official sentenced the Zhang family, but the scholars are guilty of breaking the law, and the people are not guilty of breaking the law? What makes sense? Ye Zhao looked at the people and said sharply: "Or is this the justice in your hearts!?" ”
