Chapter 578: Contradictions Erupt

Luo Han was sure that this poisoning was done by the remnants of the "mad dog", which made him extremely angry, and in his opinion, this kind of implicated revenge was unprincipled.

However, everyone almost turned the cave upside down, and did not find the shadow of the intruder, and there were no suspicious targets within the perception range, and the person who poisoned it was as if he had never been there.

"Could it be that it was served in the dish in advance and then served?" Meng Fei raised his own questions after searching for no results.

Luo Han didn't answer, he took a piece of poisoned vegetables with chopsticks, ate a little, and frowned after carefully feeling the medicinal properties: "It's really strange, if we eat this poison, it is easy to detect it before the poison occurs, but in fact, the effect on us is limited." Even for them, it doesn't seem to have reached the point where they can really be cured. Meng Meng, you come to test the properties of this medicine. ”

Xiao Yumeng nodded, learned from Luo Han to test the poison, and shook his head after tasting it: "We may have thought wrong, this medicine ...... Probably not really a ...... for them Maybe it's a misunderstanding......"

Luo Han was already a little hesitant and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Xiao Yumeng said: "You don't know about the properties of medicine, so you think it's just a drug." But if this medicine is taken by ordinary people, it is a strong paralyzing toxin that can directly cause death. ”

"This ......" Luo Han hesitated even more, "If you say so, this poison is given to ordinary people, and the purpose is to kill people directly?" ”

Xiao Yumeng nodded: "There is no point in using drugs in our cave mansion at all, and this dose is divided among people at a table, and it can't kill anyone at this table at all, so I think, could it be a mistake?" Maybe this dish was given to someone else and was delivered to us by mistake? ”

Luo Han thought about it and said, "Write down the name of this dish, and check which restaurant made this dish according to the previous list." If I'm not mistaken, there are only five portions of this dish, and it should be in charge of a very famous restaurant. Nightmare, you arrange someone to check, what should other people do, don't affect a party that is hard to come together for a little thing. ”

Soon the little demon checked the list, and the dish was made from the famous Drunken Immortal Building in the Eastern Capital. After sending someone over to check it, under the strong pressure of the Storm Cave Mansion, the matter quickly came to light. On the same day, in addition to the banquet in the Storm Cave Mansion, Zhang Yuanwai, who was doing grain business in the city, also booked a banquet in the Zuixian Building, because the Zuixian Mansion was busy with the big list of the Storm Cave Mansion, and the dishes outside Zhang Yuanwai had the same and made a good meal together. There was a guy who had a gap with Zhang Yuanwai, so he poisoned Zhang Yuanwai's dish. But I didn't expect to take the wrong box when I finally packed it, and sent it to the Storm Cave Mansion, where it was discovered by Jade Tilting City, and there was a false alarm. The guy who poisoned him asked for leave after being poisoned, probably because he was afraid that he would be found after the incident, and he had already fled and disappeared.

This was just a minor episode in the gathering of the Storms, and since it was confirmed that it was not directed at them, there was no need to take it seriously. After the lively party was over, Luo Han returned to his own home in the Eastern Capital, intending to continue to concentrate on cultivation. In his current state, what he needs is the extreme purity of his own energy in order to have a chance to impact the next realm, and he has no need for demon pills.

Unexpectedly, the incident of poisoning the party did not end like this. Two days later, Zhang Yuanwai, who was lucky enough to escape, died at home, and none of the 16 members of the family survived. What's even more sensational is that all this happened in broad daylight, when the murderer rushed directly into Zhang Yuanwai's house, hacked Zhang Yuanwai's family to death, and killed himself on the spot afterwards.

Seventeen lives are only an insignificant amount on the battlefield, but in ordinary days, as a criminal case, it is enough to cause a sensation. No matter how much Luo Han didn't care about things, he couldn't be indifferent to this kind of thing, so he had to take time out to pay attention to this case. As a result, as soon as I paid attention to Luo Han, I realized that something was wrong, the person who killed Zhang Yuanwai's family was an immigrant, that is, one of the laborers who entered the White Lion Country a few years ago. It would not be surprising if this man had to be an outlaw because of his poor life. According to the investigation, this person obtained the citizenship of the White Lion Country a year ago, has a stable job, and although his life is not rich, he does not have to worry about basic food and clothing. Why would such a person do such an outlaw would do such a thing? What kind of blood feud is there between him and Zhang Yuanwai?

Naturally, there are special people in charge of these investigations, and there is no need for Luo Han, the city lord, to worry about it, although Luo Han is puzzled, he doesn't think too much. But five days later, another grain merchant in the eastern capital was wiped out, which was the same as Zhang Yuanwai's case, and the murderer was also a Casita immigrant who had obtained the citizenship of the White Lion Country, and he also committed suicide after the killing. In two cases in a row, both of which were committed by immigrants and were directed at grain merchants, there is clearly some connection between them.

Before the case progressed, the grain merchants in the eastern capital began to endanger themselves, and on this day, the president of the White Lion Chamber of Commerce came to visit with a name post, and Luo Han didn't know what was going on, so he asked people to bring him in. But when Luo Han arrived in the living room, he saw another person - Mi Sheng, a grain merchant in the Eastern Capital.

As soon as he saw Luo Han, Mi Sheng, who was in his fifties, knelt down directly, and cried with a handful of snot and tears: "Lord An Guogong, please save us." ”

Luo Han was a little embarrassed, helped Mi Sheng up, and said: "Boss Mi, please hurry up, I don't know why Boss Mi said this?" ”

Mi Sheng said: "Now that the Eastern Capital is going viral, there is an underground organization composed of immigrants, who thinks that when we first provided food to the Casita Kingdom, the price was too high, and it was a bloodsucking act, and now that the situation on the side of the Casita Kingdom is stable, they are going to take revenge on us." The conscience of heaven and earth, Lord An Guogong, you are the founder of the White Lion Chamber of Commerce, you know that the prices of our food are professionally approved by the Chamber of Commerce, although it is profitable, but it is definitely within the normal range. The reason why the price is so high. It's because there is really no way to reduce the freight. How can we be blamed for this? ”

Luo Han looked at the president of the White Lion Chamber of Commerce who bowed his head and was silent, and said, "President Jin, what do you think?" ”

President Jin said: "My lord, to be honest, we don't know what the situation of these two cases is, and no one has taken the initiative to come forward and say why they killed their entire family, everything is speculation. It's just that...... Judging from the current situation, this speculation has some truth, and if the government cannot solve the case as soon as possible, then we can only believe this speculation. My lord, let me tell you the truth, don't look at the dead grain merchants now, but most of the merchants in the White Lion Chamber of Commerce are restless now, and no one dares to guarantee that if this organization really exists, they will not be listed as targets for attack. You also know that in addition to the grain, the other things that we sell to those regions are also extremely expensive, after all, the freight is there. ”

Luo Han pursed his lips, he knew that President Jin and Mi Sheng had their scruples, the White Lion Chamber of Commerce was established by labor trade and its derivative trade, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was blood sucking, but the strength of blood sucking was not very large. But if there is really an immigrant organization that treats them with such a hateful mentality, then each of them will become a target, and they must not sit idly by, and this naturally requires the consent of Luo Han, who holds great power, and even maybe, they also hope that Luo Han can take the initiative to help, after all, the White Lion Chamber of Commerce was formed by Luo Han at the beginning.

After thinking for a while, Luo Han said, "You wait first, I'll ask about the progress of the case." Yun'er, send someone to call Chen Zhutou, who is in charge of the grain merchant case, to come over. ”

The maid took the order, and Luo Han asked people to serve tea and wait. About half an hour later, Chen Zhutou, who was in charge of this case, arrived here, saluted Luo Han and asked directly, "I don't know why the adults called their subordinates here?" ”

Luo Han said: "Regarding the case of the destruction of the two grain merchants, how is the investigation?" ”

Chen Zhutou said: "At present, it can only be confirmed that there is a certain connection between these two cases, because the murderer committed suicide, and there is no way to find more clues for the time being." ”

Luo Han said: "What do you think about the folklore that it was done by an immigrant organization against grain merchants? ”

Chen Zhutou hesitated and said: "There is no evidence to prove the existence of such an organization at present, but ...... To be honest, one of these outlaws may be accidental, or two, and their methods and goals are so similar that they are organized, but it is impossible to judge the true purpose of this organization. ”

Luo Han thought for a moment and asked, "In other words, do you think this rumor has a certain degree of credibility?" ”

Chen Zhutou nodded: "According to the information we currently have, the probability of the existence of this organization is more than eighty percent, but it is not certain whether it is aimed at grain merchants, unless it is ......."

Speaking of this, Chen Zhutou glanced at Mi Sheng, Mi Sheng had a cold war, which means that it is certain that another grain merchant will die?

Luo Han waved his hand and said, "I know, let's continue to investigate the case." Find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible, so that everyone can rest assured. ”

Chen Zhutou retreated, Luo Han looked at Mi Sheng and Chairman Jin, thought for a while and said: "The White Lion Chamber of Commerce was formed by me, and I don't want the Chamber of Commerce to be hit by public or private, but I want to ask, what are you going to do?" Is it necessary to arrest all immigrants? ”

Chairman Jin and Mi Sheng glanced at each other, and Chairman Jin said, "Your Excellency, you misunderstood, there are indeed some voices in the Chamber of Commerce that are unfriendly to immigrants, but we all know that only a small number of people are really hostile to us. So our plan is to form a Chamber of Commerce Patrol Team, and use the Chamber of Commerce Guards, which were previously only used to escort goods, to protect the safety of merchants. ”

Luo Han frowned: "You transferred the Chamber of Commerce guards back, what about the caravan...... You mean, the suspension of deliveries to the Casita area? ”

Chairman Kim seemed to be a little resentful and said, "Since some people think that we are sending supplies to suck blood, then we will not send them, and let them see if we are transfusing blood or blood." When someone is in a hurry to ask us to restart the caravan, I'm going to see what those people do? ”

Luo Han said angrily: "Nonsense! You stopped the caravan, do you know how many families are going to go hungry because of it? Worse still, they died because they didn't get food in time. You're gambling with human life! ”

President Kim said, "My lord, this is their own doing, if we don't give them a little color to see and let them see our importance, sooner or later, more and more immigrants will be influenced by this organization and see us as enemies." At that time, who should protect our interests and our safety? Is it just a few quick catches that can't find anything? ”

Luo Han stared straight at Chairman Jin and said, "If you stop the caravan from transporting supplies and cause irreparable losses, it will only make the immigrants hate us even more, and even without any organization and planning, there may be a direct riot." Don't forget, we're convincing because we're never late or procrastinating. I don't want to see you stop your caravans for this purpose. And you have to understand that the caravan is stopped, and the real impact is the laborers who have not been here for long, and those immigrants who have obtained the citizenship of the White Lion Nation have accumulated enough wealth to ensure that their families will not go hungry in the short term, even if they have not yet moved their families. What do you do by doing this except to provoke the wrath of the people? If you do this, you will only be used by the organization in the shadows, and it will be easier to incite antagonism. ”

"This ......," Chairman Kim didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to say, "But if we don't do this, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the open, and even if we spend money to hire people to patrol and guard every day, we won't be able to manage it for a lifetime." We are still businessmen, and no one wants to do such a loss-making thing all the time. The only way to make them have internal contradictions, try to find this organization, and destroy it. ”

Luo Han shook his head: "I'll deal with this matter, you guys take precautions first." I'll settle this matter in a month at the latest, is that okay? ”

Chairman Kim nodded, "If it's an adult's promise, of course we don't have any opinions. ”

"Stand down."

"Yes."

Seeing these two away, Luo Han rubbed his eyebrows and thought about it. It's not difficult to figure out this matter, there must be members of this organization among the people related to the murderer, and using inhuman abilities, it is easy to find the right person, and then solve this organization by the way. But this is only a palliative symptom, not a cure, and the contradictions between immigrants and indigenous peoples have already emerged, and in retrospect, this incident is actually just a symptom of such contradictions flare-up on the wrong fuel.

The contradiction between immigrants and indigenous peoples is land. In order to protect the interests of the indigenous people, the previous practice adopted by the White Lion State was to restrict the occupation options of migrant workers at that time, leaving easier and more lucrative jobs to the indigenous people. But after the migrant worker completes the contract signed with his own country and becomes a free person to join the White Lion Country, the contradiction arises. They are no longer restricted, they naturally want better jobs, but the indigenous people are naturally reluctant to give up their preferential treatment, and the local employers, who are capitalists, are actually more inclined to hire immigrants with lower wage requirements under the same conditions. At this time, the aborigines needed to be appeased, so the government distributed land to the aborigines at this time, so that they could own capital. And immigrants do not have such treatment.
