Caoyun has a special status, and now it is the middle of spring, which is a busy time of the year, and the squeeze of goods for three or five days will cause a lot of losses, not to mention that it has not been unloaded for half a month.

The people of the Zhao clan, who are in charge of loading and unloading goods and transshipment at the wharf, are naturally anxious, but there is more than one life, and there are even cultivators involved, and it is a big deal anywhere.

The lesson of Liu's downfall is just around the corner.

As soon as Zhao Ning's words were finished, a mocking voice sounded behind him, "It's not a loss, it's a general, Zhao Zongqi's words are really majestic!"

"If every member of the Zhao clan is as domineering as Zhao Zongqi, then it is logical to kill and injure several civilians, and it doesn't matter in your opinion, right?"

The voice was yin and yang, obviously ill-intentioned, everyone followed the sound to see, and called a young man wearing the six-grade official robe of Jingzhao Mansion to come over on horseback, followed by more than 20 officials of Jingzhao Mansion.

Looking at their appearance, it is obvious that they are not good.

Zhao Ning sneered and said: "Let's not talk about how the Zhao clan acts, the people in Jingzhao Mansion are all rice buckets, but everyone in Yanping City knows it. If not, he would not sit idly by and watch Liu's grass and people's lives. ”

He recognized the young official in front of him, Pang Ling, who was from the Mendi Pang Clan, and had taken the vacancy left by Liu Zhiwu not long ago.

Since he took office, he has not taken the officials of Jingzhao Mansion to wander the streets, and he has been fighting with the people of the Governor's Mansion for a day or two.

At the end of last year, Jingzhao Mansion was already overwhelmed by the Governor's Mansion. Jingzhao Mansion, who was unwilling to lose the right to speak in Yanping City, in order to reverse the decline, with the support of the Mendi, it absorbed some young and handsome people, and this Pang Ling was one of the best.

"Zhao Zongqi is really a dog who doesn't spit ivory in his mouth! I want to see today how you can exonerate the Zhao clan people who killed people in public and were witnessed by hundreds of people!" Pang Ling sneered.

He was quite proud, and couldn't help but watch a good show quickly, so he had no intention of separating the winner with Zhao Ning in words.

Today's dock bureau is naturally from the hands of the door, the black hand who acts secretly is the Zheng family, and it is the Pang family who brings people to echo on the surface.

This matter has been planned and arranged for a long time, from the beginning to the present, it has been going smoothly, Pang Ling is confident that everything is under control, just waiting for Zhao Ning to come to the stage.

While avoiding Zhao Ning's bullying and defusing the situation, he also wanted to make a big fuss about the movement, so that Zhao Ning could not clean it up, and finally arouse the people's resentment against the Zhao family.

Just like the Zhao family did with the Liu family last year.

And with the beginning of today's good show, the war of the Mendi joint attack on the Zhao clan has also been fully launched.

Letting the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion dismount and separate the crowd, Zhao Ning walked to the center of the crowd.

There were a few soldiers who came first, and they were the men who patrolled the docks. In front of them, there were many people covered in blood, sitting and standing.

There was also a group of strong porters, who were pulling with a few people from the Zhao family, seemingly to prevent the other party from leaving, and some people were shouting to go to the government together.

There were only injured people here, Zhao Ning didn't see the steward who managed the loading and unloading of goods at the wharf in the clan, he looked up and saw the figures on a huge cargo ship, and there was a faint sound of battle.

The facts are already in front of him, and Zhao Ning doesn't need to look at it anymore to know the corresponding situation.

"All the people involved will be brought back to the Governor's Mansion. He waved his hand.

The cultivators of the Duwei Mansion rushed out and separated the people of the Zhao clan from those dressed as porters. Wei Wuxian took the men directly onto the cargo ship, which was where the battle first broke out.

Soon, Wei Wuxian escorted a group of people off the boat, and in the middle, there was also the director of the Zhao Clan's dock, who was not lightly injured, he came to Zhao Ning and whispered, "Childe...... Seven people died on the boat, all of them were from the boat, and only the Zhao clan was injured. ”

Zhao Ning bowed slightly, and was about to say something, when the owner of the boat, who was escorted by two Duwei Mansion cultivators, suddenly struggled after approaching, and shouted loudly at the crowd of onlookers:

"The Zhao family's people are rampant, we are just a few days slow to unload, and they actually killed seven guys, where is the reason! The Governor's Mansion does not ask the Zhao family for the crime, why do you want to arrest me?

His words didn't have the power to shock people's hearts, and the demagogy was lackluster, but it was like a fire breaker, lighting a firecracker?

In the crowd of onlookers, some men suddenly seemed to have stolen someone from their wives outside, and shouted angrily.

"The Zhao family relies on their own family, can they oppress the good like this? What is the difference between this and the Liu family? I think they are a raccoon dog!"

"I saw Zhao's people get on the boat, no matter how the owner apologized and explained the reason for the matter, they didn't listen at all, and they beat people when they saw them!"

"Now that they have killed so many people, there are more orphans and widows in this world, and I don't know how these people will survive without adult men!"

"What kind of yamen is the Duwei Mansion, which does not uphold justice for the poor, but does not distinguish between black and white, and arrests people when they see them, what is this for!"

"I think they want to seize people, bend them into tricks, and reverse black and white! Zhao's people have killed people and violated the law, we have all seen it with our own eyes, but we can't let them do such nonsense!"

"Yes, if we don't do justice, we can't let them take people away!"

The shouting is getting louder and louder.

At first, many onlookers were suspicious, after all, Zhao's reputation was still good.

But these speakers, with their convincing words, said that they saw what happened with their own eyes, and added some descriptions of the ship's owners groveling and the Zhao clansmen's ferocious and colorful voices, many people were not so sure.

In addition, some of them also saw the Zhao clan and the people of the boat line doing it, and after those who shouted loudly began to stand on the position of the poor and accuse the Zhao family of being rich and unkind, some people who did not think it was a big deal to see the excitement, or who were already resentful about their lives, began to shout together

On the one hand, they made the government must be the master of the people, and on the other hand, they cursed the people of the government for drinking the blood of the people.

As more and more people were arguing, the field was boiling, and the twenty or thirty soldiers of the Governor's Mansion were all in a posture of being collided.

Zhao Ning's face was flat, his joy and anger were invisible, and he nodded at Wei Wuxian, who was looking at him, and the latter stepped out, first with a loud shout, suppressing the messy voice, calming the scene, and then saying:

"Rest assured, the Governor's Mansion will definitely investigate the situation, handle the case impartially, and will never wronged a good person, nor will he let go of a wicked person, whether he is an ordinary civilian or a child of a family!

"For now, we must bring back all the people involved in the case, etc.! Both the victims and the wronged people need to explain the reasons in court, and ask everyone to get out of the way and not get in the way of us.

"If you have anything to worry about, you can follow us to the Governor's Mansion to watch the trial process. But now, if anyone makes a disturbance and obstructs the government's errands, don't blame us and arrest them!"

The three-hundred-pound Wei Wuxian was as strong as an iron tower, a head taller than ordinary big men, and when he stood in front of people, he exuded a fierce aura all over his body, and he had the power of King Kong's angry eyes.

His first thunderous shout was already breathtaking, and the subsequent words were magnificent, which made it even more oppressive.

The last sentence is set off by a team of armor-clad and sharp government soldiers, and the majesty is simply not to be looked at.

There were few voices in the crowd for a moment, and most of them had a look of fear in their eyes.

When there were many of them, they dared to shout at the officials, but at this time, Wei Wuxian's face-to-face gaze made them afraid of the other party's official authority.

Seeing that the crowd was stunned by Wei Wuxian and generally quieted down, Zhao Ning was quite satisfied, and I have to say that Wei Wuxian's appearance and momentum are indeed very capable of bluffing.

But at this moment, a gloomy laughter rang out, and Pang Ling, who had been watching for a long time, stepped forward, leaned at Zhao Ning and the others, and jokingly said: "I don't know if others are at ease, but if the Governor's Mansion tries this case, I am the first to be uneasy." ”

As he spoke, he turned to face the crowd, pointed at Zhao Ning and said loudly: "Do you know who this person is? This official tells you that this is the eldest grandson of the prince of Zhenguo and the heir of the Zhao family!"

"Do you still think that he and the Governor's Mansion will handle the case impartially and make decisions for the suffering people?!"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar, and the discussion suddenly revived, and the men who had taken the lead in denouncing the Zhao family and the Du Wei Mansion, saying that they had witnessed the process of the Zhao family's bullying of the ship owner, began to take the lead in making noise again.

"The people of the Zhao clan are the officials of the Governor's Mansion, and they will definitely protect their own people!"

"You can't let the Governor's Mansion take away the people of the ship!"

"Yes, other yamen should be allowed to handle this case!"

Pang Ling's smile became more and more intense.

Seeing that more and more people showed a look of distrust of the officials of the Governor's Mansion, he lost no time in saying: "My Jingzhao Mansion has always been the master of the people, and this case will be taken over by my Jingzhao Mansion, and I will definitely be able to repay the bitter lord justice!

Under the leadership of those men, many people soon said yes. The scene that was originally suppressed by Wei Wuxian was about to get out of control.

Some porters who believed in their sense of justice and were strong and strong had begun to gather around the shipowner and others, with the intention of blocking the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion.

Pang Ling glanced at Zhao Ning, his eyes full of pride and disdain. In his opinion, Zhao Ning personally brought people to the dock, which was to bring humiliation on himself, just to give him an excuse to attack the other party in front of others and take the case.

Of course, it was only natural for Zhao Ning to come over, after all, something happened to the clansmen at the dock.

It is also reasonable for him to bring people from the Governor's Mansion to calm down the situation and take the case into his own hands first, so as to facilitate the exoneration of his clansmen.

Jingzhao Mansion suffered a loss at the hands of the Duwei Mansion last year and was forced to retreat everywhere, just taking advantage of this murder case and a series of cases to turn over. Pang Lian brought people over, because he was full of confidence in bringing the case back to Jingzhao Mansion.

Zhao Ning noticed Pang Ling's gaze, and naturally he could speculate on the other party's inner thoughts, he glanced at Pang Ling indifferently, without any feeling.

It's like the other party is just a small ant, not at the same level as him, and he doesn't have the slightest ability to move him.

Pang Ning's face was gloomy, and Zhao Ning's gaze made him feel that he was a joke, and the other party had the strength to crush him to death with a backhand, and it was precisely because of this extreme disdain that Zhao Ning did not have any change in expression.

His self-esteem was greatly humiliated, so he was furious, and he was about to confront Zhao Ning, but he saw that Zhao Ning had already taken a few steps forward and spoke towards the crowd.

Zhao Ning's eyes were scorching, and his voice was sonorous: "Who I am, everyone knows it, so I think you all know that last year I took the Duwei Mansion to sweep down the Goshawk Gang, the White Clothes Society, and because of a hard-working female slave, I sued the Liu family!"

"Now I ask everyone, when the Goshawk Gang and the White Clothes Club are still there, what is the situation of the docks, what is the situation of the Five Elements, and after the Goshawk Gang and the White Clothes Society are destroyed, do you still need to give half a copper to the gangsters in the market?

"When you walk down the street and come home, do you still tremble, fearing that you will be beaten, bullied, and blackmailed by the gangsters in the market?

"Each of the five elements has its own small gangs, and many of you have joined these small gangs in order to protect yourself, but you know better than me how the battles with the Goshawk Gang and the White Clothes Society have been in the past!

"The reason why the Liu family, a family like the one who is in the land of fish and meat and cares about people's lives, disappears because of Jingzhao Mansion? It's me, Zhao Ning, who is the first to unmask their viciousness!

"In the end, it was not Jingzhao Mansion that convicted the Liu family, but the three divisions!

"Before that, Jingzhao Mansion didn't know anything about Liu's evil deeds!

"A few months ago, it has been the officials of Jingzhao Mansion who have been inspecting the docks, what are their faces and how they treat everyone, I don't need to say, but in the past few months, the Duwei Mansion has inspected the order of the docks, but they have never asked ordinary porters for a copper plate, nor have they beaten a good person!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ning's eyes became sincere, and his voice became more and more powerful, "The Zhao family has a warehouse at the wharf, and there are many goods for loading and unloading transportation, and some of you have worked for the Zhao family. How does the Zhao family usually treat people, haven't you experienced it yourself?

"Today's murder case is full of suspicions, and some people say that they have witnessed what happened, so come with us to Jingzhao Mansion and explain it clearly in court!

"If you can trust me Zhao Ning and the Governor's Mansion, then go and see what is going on in this case!"

After saying that, the crowd was so quiet that it was audible that the pins were dropping.

Ordinary people cannot be bullied, who gives them more wages and good food, who usually calls them and drinks and beats and scolds them at every turn, and who never interferes with their normal business and coolies, these are all their personal experiences, how can they not tell the difference?

The feelings and cognitions accumulated over the years are by no means easily changed by one or two things that have not yet been fully understood.

"I believe in the Zhao clan! The people of the Zhao clan never beat and scolded the porter coolie, how could they kill people for no reason?"

"I believe in Zhao Gongzi, I believe in the Duwei Mansion, it was they who eradicated the Goshawk Gang and the White Clothes Society, and also rescued the daughter of my relative......"

"The officials of Jingzhao Mansion don't treat us as human beings, and they all punch and kick the old people who are scavenging, and the people of the Duwei Mansion never beat people...... I believe in the Governor's Mansion!"

"We are willing to go to the Governor's Mansion to see the trial process. ”

The crowd became lively again, everyone said a word, most of them recognized the Zhao family and the Duwei Mansion.

Pang Ling's heart gradually sank when he heard this, and his face became more and more ugly.
