With the crazy increase in prices, there are more and more voices denouncing Ji Chen, and there are more and more voices asking him to come out to apologize.

Even the well-cultivated Northern Hells Iron Cauldron was furious.

"This is obviously someone manipulating behind the scenes, wanting to muddy the waters, and the eyes and hatred are transferred to the Black Wind Village and the Guangling Sword Sect."

Murong Tiehammer also frowned and said: "Public opinion is the most difficult to deal with, a bad one will cause turmoil or even large-scale riots, once this happens, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

……

The county office, Jiang Zuozhi sat in the study, and the master Bo stood next to him.

"My lord, it has been found out, all the people in the Zhao Mansion that day were killed by that Ji Chen."

"Where's the remnants of the sin outside, cleaned up too?"

Jiang Zuozhi stroked the courtier order in his hand and said slowly.

"Clean it all up, and make sure that there is no one in the know."

Jiang Zuozhi was silent for a while, and then said, "You say, will Zao Wou-Ki say something nonsense before he dies. ”

"Whether he said it or not, haven't you already made a choice, and you have no way out."

Jiang Zuozhi sighed, "People can't be greedy, take a step, and there is no turning back." ”

The lord Bo said: "Isn't being an official just to make money, otherwise what else to be an official, people live for a lifetime is nothing more than money, power and lust, there is no official in this world who is not greedy, everyone is greedy, we are just unlucky." ”

"I have notified all the vendors to raise prices in accordance with your instructions, and now the people's resentment has stirred. I also found some down-and-out talents and storytellers, and asked them to spread the news among the people, saying that the reason for the rise in prices was because of Ji Chen's indiscriminate killing of innocent people and causing panic. ”

"Now that the people's emotions have been stirred, as long as the threat of the demons in Heifeng Village is spread, it can cause even greater panic, and then let those talents and scholars criticize Ji Chen, saying that he doesn't do anything and doesn't kill the demons, but he targets the innocent Zhao Mansion, let's whitewash the Zhao Mansion and shape it into a good person, this black cauldron can be firmly buckled on Ji Chen, and he can't get rid of it if he wants to. Anyway, the Zhao Mansion has been completely destroyed, and there is no proof of death. ”

"Officialdom, power and conspiracy, how can a stinky kid understand, black, white, who can say clearly. Water can carry a boat and overturn a boat, public opinion is the biggest weapon, if it is used well, it can subvert a dynasty, doesn't Ji Chen like to cut through the mess with a quick knife, then let him see what the knife of public opinion is. In this Qinghe County boundary, you have the final say, you say that he is black, he is black, you say he is white, he is white. ”

Jiang Zuozhi didn't make a sound, just gently stroked the token, and after a while, he asked, "Have the people from the Guangling Sword Sect notified you?" ”

"Informed, the Guangling Sword Sect has sent someone, Ji Chen killed their people, if they want to take revenge, they can only do it before Ji Chen returns to Liangzhou City."

Jiang Zuozhi nodded slightly, as soon as Ji Chen died, someone would carry the pot, and now that the affairs of Qinghe County had been explained, he could also get out of it.

All of this is in his calculations.

With the passage of time, prices have become higher and higher, and public discontent has intensified, and there have even been riots of smashing and looting, which have led to several bloodshed cases.

Some people even called for going to Liangzhou City to complain.

Things are developing in an uncontrollable direction, and the people's emotions are becoming more and more excited, and under the control of an invisible force, they begin to parade in the streets to make trouble.

"Where is Ji Chen, get out and die!"

"Ji Demon get out and give an explanation!"

"Murderous demon Ji Chen, get out and punish and apologize."

"Avenge the Guangling Fairy and kill the big devil Ji Chen."

"Demon Ji Chen, come out and die!"

From time to time, several voices rang out in the crowd, inciting the emotions of the crowd.

The mighty five or six hundred people, from the south of the city to the north of the city, have already paraded to the main street in the north of the city, Qingshui Street. The original number of five or six hundred has grown to eight or nine hundred.

Everyone has a herd mentality, believing that the law does not blame the public.

Huge crowds roamed the streets, shouting, some with hoes and some with sickles, as if they were about to rebel.

In the crowd, several shrill voices shouted.

"The surname Ji has come out!"

"That is, don't hide like a turtle with a shrunken head, do what you do, and take it yourself."

"Get out of here and give me an explanation!"

Such a battle gave Xing Gaoxi a headache, and he stood on the street and stopped the street procession.

These are ordinary people, and they cannot be suppressed by force, and once they are used, they will provoke even stronger resistance, further intensify contradictions, and eventually cause popular uprisings, and this kind of consequence is not something he can bear.

"Listen to me, be calm, I will definitely give an explanation for this matter, and I will calm down prices as soon as possible."

As soon as his words fell, someone shouted in the crowd: "Let Ji Chen get out, we are looking for Ji Chen." ”

"That is, it was he who killed innocents indiscriminately, killed people and set fires, and asked him to get out and give an explanation."

"Ji Chen, big devil, don't hide like the turtle grandson, get out and give an explanation."

"You must get out and commit suicide to apologize and comfort the dead souls of the Zhao Mansion."

There was gossip in the crowd, and Xing Gaoxi could clearly see that someone was deliberately provoking, but there were too many people, and he couldn't find out who it was.

Seeing that the people's anger was getting more and more excited, Xing Gaoxi could continue to persuade: "Everyone must believe me, someone is provoking this matter, don't be fooled, block people's guns, give me a day, I will definitely find out the person who made trouble and give everyone an explanation." ”

"I, I believe in a dog, and I won't believe in these dog officials, you dog officials are all officials who protect each other and protect each other."

"That's it, Dog Officer, you're talking nonsense, and you want to deceive us, you'd better let Ji Chen get out, otherwise you will be killed together."

In the middle of Qingshui Street, a set of courtyard houses are located here, which is the home of the patrol and arrest division to catch Ding You.

At this moment, Ji Chen and several masters live in Ding You's house.

Ji Chen and Ding Youneng came together, it was completely because the two were of the same age and had similar personalities, and Ji Chen's series of practices in Qinghe County made Ding You admire.

He already regarded Ji Chen as a role model.

And Ji Chen also plans to support Ding You, Xing Gaoxi's choice cannot be said to be wrong, from his own point of view, it is understandable, but he forgot that he is the chief arrester of Qinghe County and shoulders the security of a county.

In the past few days, Ji Chen has been checking the two exercises of the Taixuan Sutra and the Nine Swords of Demon Robbery in the Ding Mansion, as well as being familiar with the magic power of stealth technique.

The voice that suddenly sounded outside was clearly heard by Ji Chen, although he didn't say anything, Ding You could feel the killing intent in Ji Chen's eyes.

Reversing black and white, telling the truth, planting blame, diverting attention, and muddying the water.

This is a means of officialdom, and you don't have to guess that it is Jiang Zuozhi's means.

The time was almost up, it was time to close the net, Ji Chen got up, picked up the knife next to him, and walked outside.

"Don't go out!"

The four masters hurriedly stopped.

"Now the crowd outside is excited, if you go out, it will make them even more angry, those are ordinary people, you can't beat and can't be caught, once you suppress it by force, you just fall into the trap of the people in the dark, and now you go out even if you are full of mouths, you can't tell clearly. Let's dodge! ”

"Why should I hide, why should I make it clear, there are some things that can't be hidden. Didn't they clamore for me to go out and give an explanation? I'm going to go out and give them an explanation. ”

"You have to remember that the people are the people, the thief is the thief, the law of Great Xia, the name is the opposite, for the anti-thief, you don't need to give an explanation, just cut it with a knife."

"Don't talk about the long and short with fools, don't say that I am a common man, I don't understand the law, I can be overbearing, and the knife is the best truth."
