Chapter 282 Complaints
Tang Yu found it quite interesting to see many familiar faces in the crowd.
He is now wearing the Thousand-Faced Mask that the system gave him earlier. In the eyes of those who have seen him, he looks completely different.
Therefore, they would never connect Tang Yu with that Zhao Zilong.
Looking at this group of indignant people, Tang Yu knew, to be honest, that they harbored resentment and discontent.
However, he also knew that this incident might be a complete conspiracy from beginning to end.
These kind and benevolent people are now merely tools in the hands of others, completely manipulated by them.
However, he knew he couldn't say it aloud, because if he did, the beliefs that these people had always held dear would probably collapse.
He immediately looked at everyone and then spoke.
"I am Tang Yu, the Imperial Advisor sent by His Majesty Emperor Ying Zheng of the Great Qin Dynasty. As the Imperial Advisor of the Great Qin, it is my duty to protect the people of the Great Qin."
"If any of you have any grievances, please tell us them all."
The other nobles and Zhao Qiang, who were standing at a distance trying to stop Tang Yu from entering the city gate, were now dumbfounded.
They looked at Shen Na, whose expression was unfriendly, and immediately felt a tremor in their chests, as if their entire family was beginning to appear and disappear at the gates of the underworld.
Even more so, if Ying Zheng were to unleash those same raging furies he once had.
Not to mention nine generations, even ten generations will be wiped out. They'll even have to pour boiling water into the anthill in your house before you can leave.
"Your Excellency, you must stand up for this humble subject!"
It had to be that old woman, so eager to avenge her son; Tang Yu spotted her from afar. And she was also the one with the most imposing presence among the crowd.
After she started complaining, the people around her also began to complain.
This indicates which of their brothers, sisters, parents, uncles, nephews, or nieces were killed by the nobles of Handan...
Just as they were pouring out their grievances, Zhao Qiang rushed over and forced a smile at Tang Yu.
"Your Excellency, it's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! There's a huge misunderstanding here."
"If Your Excellency finds my words reasonable and wishes to conduct a fair and impartial review, I humbly request that Your Excellency and I re-examine them."
To be honest, Zhao Qiang felt extremely wronged, because this matter really had nothing to do with him or these nobles.
If he had to say something, Zhao Qiang did indeed dislike these ordinary people who made trouble for no reason.
However, as an official and a nobleman in Handan, he would never do something so foolish as to punish these common people.
Because sometimes he knew that living a life worse than death was the best course of action. Rather than letting them die so easily, it was better to let them live a life of suffering.
Zhao Qiang was now seething with hatred for the person who had framed them behind the scenes.
His biggest concerns right now are two issues.
The first thing was that after Tang Yu arrived, he directly suppressed the nobles of Zhao with swift and decisive measures.
Furthermore, based on the descriptions given by these people, as well as the circumstances of those previous crime scenes.
If Tang Yu believes that it was truly a group of nobles from Handan who united to carry out the attack, then...
He believed that with Tang Yu's love for the people and his methods, he would definitely drag each of them down and behead them as a warning to others.
The second thing he was worried about was...
If Ying Zheng knew that his childhood rival was involved in this incident, it would probably be even more serious than beheading.
Since he can no longer stop the second thing, he should at least put the first thing aside and try to clear up this misunderstanding no matter what.
Tang Yu remained silent, simply watching the two sides exchange accusations.
Seeing the crowd of people so enraged, believing that the nobles had killed their brothers and sisters, and their relatives and friends.
The nobles, however, were indignant at the sight of the common people and angrily retorted with insults, calling them foolish and ignorant.
To be honest, as an observer on both sides...
Tang Yu now fully understands what happened, and he knows that neither side is wrong from their own perspective.
However, it seems that this chaotic situation and such a powerful opposition are exactly what the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to see.
Since the other party has provoked such a big conflict and dispute, their ambitions are probably even greater.
Tang Yu thought for a moment, then remained silent, continuing to stand leisurely to the side.
He wanted to see just how far the plot would unfold.
At that moment, Zhao Qiang, the governor of Handan, glanced at everyone and suddenly knelt down in front of them.
"Pfft!"
In that instant, the arena fell silent.
After all, Zhao Qiang is an official, and a high-ranking one at that.
He should never be treated like this, especially since he is of noble birth, yet he chose to kneel before these common people.
For a moment, the people were dumbfounded.
"Tell me, what's going on with Zhao Qiang? Why is he kneeling before us?"
"Could it be that he thinks the arrival of the Grand Preceptor means his own death is imminent? So he's begging us to spare his life? That's impossible, isn't it?"
Zhao Qiang glanced at them, then shouted in an extremely serious tone.
"Gentlemen, there was a huge misunderstanding in everything that happened a few days ago."
“My actions, Zhao Qiang, may indeed have violated some laws and been unfair to you all.”
"But please rest assured, I will not deny any mistakes I have made and am willing to accept any punishment from the Grand Preceptor."
"However, this misunderstanding must be investigated and cleared up. Please trust the laws of our Great Qin Dynasty and the Grand Preceptor."
After saying this, he voluntarily took off his official hat and came to Tang Yu's side to accept detention.
Tang Yu raised an eyebrow at the sight and then spoke to the stunned crowd around him.
"Gentlemen, if that's the case, then please rest assured."
"If there are any misunderstandings or problems in this matter."
"I will handle this immediately and will never bend the law for personal gain."
"Any details and proceedings related to this case will be conducted publicly in front of a large audience."
"Everyone is welcome to come and watch."
Everyone was stunned when Tang Yu finished speaking.
Although people were puzzled by this move, they still shouted loudly.
"Long live Lord Tang Yu! Long live the Imperial Advisor!"
