Chapter 37 Public grievances boil

"Lord, who is Ma Yuanyi, and why is he so concerned about him?" The next morning, when Qiu Chi helped Ye Zhao pack up the case, he couldn't help but feel confused. Seeing that no one was around, he asked in a low voice.

"It's hard to say now, but there will be an answer soon." Ye Zhao sighed and said, "This matter is related to some of my guesses. If it's really what I think, that's interesting."

"Lord, it's not good!" As he was speaking, Gao Sheng hurriedly ran in and ran to Ye Zhao in panting, directly lifted Qiu Chi's water bowl and drank it dry in one breath.

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

"Somehow, rumors spread all over Suiyang City overnight, saying that the lord's decision was unfair, he favored the Zhang family, ignored the law, and was not worthy of being an official." Gao Sheng said: "Zhang Wu was going to come to some Mao today, but was injured by someone with stones. Now he is at the doctor."

"Is there anyone who caught the attack?" Qiu Chi frowned.

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

"Lord, if it really causes civil rebellion, this matter will be bad for the lord." Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao worriedly and said, "It's better to post a list and explain the whole story to the people."

"It's useless." Ye Zhao shook his head: "The people have been suppressing for too long. What they are concerned about is not the case itself. Whoever breaks the law has nothing to do with them. They just regard this matter as a vent, and some people secretly contribute to the fire and bewitch people's hearts, so naturally what they are doing today."

"Master is saying..." Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao.

"Although the law has always been clear that the gentry and the common people have committed the same crimes as the common people, it is not so easy to implement them." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "As soon as I took office, I dealt with Li Yong, which made the people feel that I was on their side. However, Zhang Wu was not guilty in this case, but instead, Zhang and Ma An were sent to death. There would naturally be a contrast in my heart. If someone was soliciting it, it would become a gangster with the scholars and bullying the people. If someone deliberately induced it in words, I would become a person who was originally upright and pleaded for the people and eventually betrayed the people and stood on the side of the gentry."

"This..." Qiu Chi widened his eyes in surprise and looked at Ye Zhao and said, "These people are too ignorant. Don't they ask about the incident?"

"Defending the people is more important than defending against rivers. Sometimes, people's words are really terrifying!" Ye Zhao shook his head and said, "And the people are the easiest to be deceived and incited. Right or wrong sometimes really doesn't matter. It's just that they can incite the whole city overnight. It seems that some people can't sit still."

"Lord, who is inciting behind the scenes?" Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao in confusion.

"I don't know yet, but I think I'll know soon." Ye Zhao shook his head.

"Empress, something big is not good!" Jiang Sheng rushed in hurriedly, clasped his fists at Ye Zhao and said, "A large number of people rushed out, surrounding the county government."

"So quickly?" Ye Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, let's solve this matter first, and then pull out the people behind the scenes."

"Lord, now the crowd is in anger, so it's better to hide first!" Jiang Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "There are thousands of people outside."

"Just, when the lord was in the northern border, tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry could not move the lord. How dare the lord show off his power in front of the lord? "Ding Li, Fang Yue, Dian Wei, Guan Hai, Meng Hu came in from outside the door and said loudly: "Lord, the thirty soldiers are ready and can fight at any time!"

"This place is different from the northern border, and the people are not enemies. Without my orders, no one can take action!" Ye Zhaosu said.

"Here!" the five of them bowed and took the order.

"Go out and take a look." Ye Zhao took the sword handed over by Qiu Chi, hung it on his waist, and strode out of the mansion.

Seeing this, Jiang Sheng and others gritted their teeth and led a group of county guards out.

Outside the county government, the originally spacious streets were now crowded with people from all directions. Ye Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly and turned his head to look at Jiang Sheng: "There is also Taiping Sect in my Suiyang City?"

"Yes, Taiping Cult is now very popular. Not only Suiyang, but also Taiping Cultists preach the missionary in the eight counties of Liang State." Jiang Sheng bowed and said.

"I am negligent." Ye Zhao suddenly realized that he had been busy with county affairs since he took office, but he had not paid much attention to the affairs of Taiping Cult. He did not expect that Taiping Cult was so huge.

"Ye Zhao, you still dare to come out!" In the crowd, a man saw Ye Zhao coming out, and his face turned bad, and pointed at Ye Zhao and said.

"I am acting in a straight manner, sitting upright, and being ashamed of heaven and earth, and even more ashamed of my original intention. Why don't I dare to come out?" Ye Zhao looked at the man with a slight gaze and said coldly: "You guys, although you don't blame the public, you have been so surrounded by the county government, which is already openly shaking the majesty of the court. Are you not afraid of the court sending troops to suppress it?"

"What a shame. You help the evil and bully the people, you..." The man asked sternly, but was interrupted by Ye Zhao.

"Since I took office, I have eliminated the bully Li Yong, in order to relieve the burden of the people, I beg the four heads of the family to pay the money and work to make a living for those people who are unable to pay taxes. Not only can I have money to repay the taxes, but I can also live a life of some surplus. Not long after I took office, I don't know which thing was wrong, but it actually caused the public to complain. The people of the whole city came to surround our county government!?"

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

The person who shouted before saw that the people around him gradually calmed down, felt a big feeling in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Then why did you help Zhang Wukeng harm the good-hearted!"

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

"Uh..." The speaker was suffocated when he heard this, and then he realized that Ye Zhao had been trapped unknowingly. The one he didn't want to match with Ye Zhao the most was the criminal case.
