Chapter 247: Come, see off(1/2)
At this time, the Governor's Mansion seemed particularly quiet.
Li Zheng looked through the paper on the table in front of him, the evidence collected, and the "protest letter" organized by the common people in Suzhou City "spontaneously". The further he looked down, the tighter his eyebrows became.
Under the hall, Shenqiao stood there quietly.
His expression was calm, his head held high and his chest was raised.
After telling the accusation, he stopped talking.
After a long time, Li Zheng's eyes moved away from the table and stopped on Shen Qiao: "Is this true?"
"There is no false statement!"
Li Zheng's face looked a little bad: "Didn't there be any false words?"
Chen Qiao said calmly: "If the Governor does not believe it, please send someone to verify it. The lie is not a lie on the account."
"snort!"
Of course, Li Zheng believed that Chen Qiao did not lie to him, and the news about Suzhou had long been spreading to Yangzhou. As the Governor of Jiangnan, he naturally heard about the recent "public grievance" incident in Suzhou.
What made him angry was that in Suzhou City, where he had the most high expectations, something like this happened under his eyelids.
More importantly, this matter is actually related to the prefect of Suzhou.
Every crime listed above about Su Yue is outrageous and incompatible with the laws of nature.
Under his nose, the son of the Suzhou prefect used the title of the prefect to do so many unreasonable things.
Suzhou City is an important place in Jiangnan, and Jiangnan is the lifeline of the economic center of the entire southern part of Zhao State.
This happened in such a top priority.
It is not the most important thing that happens. It is actually not difficult to see such powerful people bullying the people. No matter where they are, there will be such powerful people who use their power to bully people and cover up the sky to exploit the people. The things they do may not be much better than Su Yue.
Even in Yangzhou City, the Peng family covered the sky under the nose of the Governor's Office, and Peng Xu was even more reckless in Yangzhou City.
But in Li Zheng's eyes, he was too lazy to pay attention to it.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, there are oppression. This is an eternal truth, and it is the same no matter where it is.
Even if you want to care, the boy who slays the dragon will eventually become an evil dragon.
Therefore, even though Li Zheng was very angry about the evidence on the lawsuit, this kind of thing could not be seen by him in normal times.
If it weren't for the person who came to find him, Shen Qiao, he wouldn't have paid attention to it.
As the Governor of Jiangnan, he had to do too many things, so his eyes naturally would not stop at these trivial matters.
Although the evidence displayed on this paper is very horrifying, it is not a big deal in Li Zheng's eyes.
But now as the matter ferments and spreads, it is estimated that the news will not be long before it will reach the capital.
He had to take this influence seriously.
Although this is just an ordinary case of powerful people, once it is spread and let the world know, the situation will be different!
At that time, what will the people in the world think of him?
How does Your Majesty think of him?
The prefect of Suzhou, Jiangnan, actually instigated his offspring to bully the people, bully men and women, forcibly buy and sell, and hire murderers.
If this news is circulated, if it is not handled properly, it may cause public anger in the world.
And at that time, what would those people in the court think of him?
He, Li, was unreasonable in politics, and actually caused such an extremely bad thing to corrupt such an impact!
Now in the court, I don’t know how many officials are dissatisfied with Li Zheng’s holding of the military power of the Jiangnan government, and how many people have tried their best to impeach him.
If the impact is great at this time, even he may not be able to escape.
The ministers in the court may try their best to impeach him.
Thinking of this, Li Zheng's gaze sank a little.
He looked at Chen Qiao and was silent: "Since you said that Su Yue, the son of Suzhou prefect, has been committing evil in Suzhou City for many years and has angered the public. Why has no one been seeking justice for so many years, but you are here?"
Chen Qiao said: "Those victims were bullied by Su Yue, most of them dared to be angry but not speak out. Due to the majesty of the prefect, they had to accept their fate. Who dared to fight with the government? Not to mention the prefect. Even if a few people tried to seek justice for the officials, they had already been dealt with by Su Yue. The Suzhou prefect is in charge of the highest power in Suzhou City, and has no place to complain about the injustice!"
"So, why are you again?"
Li Zheng looked at the scroll and glanced at him: "Aren't you afraid of the prefect?"
"Afraid!"
Shen Qiao nodded.
"Since you're afraid, why do you dare to stand out?"
Chen Qiao said: "Because I'm not dead!"
Li Zheng raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
"I am just one of the victims who tried to avenge the officials, but fortunately I was not dead!"
Chen Qiao looked at Li Zheng and said, "It is because I am not dead that I can stand here and tell you this grievance to the Governor, so that the grievances of countless victims can be seen again... I also ask the Governor to give a clear understanding and to make a clear innocence for me and for all the victims in Suzhou City!"
Li Zheng stared at Shen Qiao and was silent for a long time.
After a long time, he smiled.
"I'm sure I'm not wrong. You're better than I thought. Xi'er didn't miss anyone. You're really good, and Xi'er won't save your life."
Chen Qiao was stunned and asked in confusion: "You, do you know?"
"Why can't I know?"
Li Zheng glanced at Chen Qiao: "Do you think Xier suddenly appeared in Suzhou and would just save you?"
Chen Qiao was stunned.
He hadn't figured out why Li Weixi suddenly appeared in Suzhou. At this moment, he seemed to understand something.
"Xi'er received news yesterday that Langdaoxing, the second-largest reward list, was going to Suzhou to assassinate a man named Chen Qiao. She rushed to Suzhou City overnight to save you. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be able to stand here today."
Shen Qiao was silent.
His heart became heavier.
He didn't expect it to be consistent with his guess.
Li Weixi appeared in Suzhou in the middle of the night, really just to save him.
This affection made Chen Qiao's heart feel much heavier.
"However, you have not disappointed our expectations for you. Since you dare to sue the governor of Yicheng with your own strength, your courage is really appreciated. You really don't look like a procrastinating girl like you! It's not that Xier has worked hard to save you."
Li Zheng stared at Chen Qiao: "However, Xi'er has treated you like this. If you dare to let her down, don't blame me for being rude to you."
If it were before, Chen Qiao would have thought of refuting and proved his innocence between him and Li Weixi.
But now, Shen Qiao cannot explain his brotherly feelings in any way.
A woman rushed to Suzhou overnight for him just to save his life. In this era, rounding was already a sign of her feelings.
Even if Chen Qiao was slow to react, he had already realized something.
Chen Qiao sighed in his heart... Things are a little troublesome!
“…”
Li Zheng glanced at Chen Qiao: "The news from Suzhou City was you who encouraged and spread it."
Chen Qiao didn't say anything, didn't admit it or denied it.
"You did open my eyes and even know how to use public opinion."
Chen Qiao said modestly: "I am just simple timid and want to give people more courage..."
"Hmph, do you know that the things you made are almost spread throughout Jiangnan? Do you know how bad the impact it has on this governor?"
Li Zheng snorted coldly: "If you ask you to continue making trouble, I am afraid that I, as the governor, will not be able to sit firmly."
Chen Qiao was shocked: "Governor General, you are also..."
Li Zheng was furious and scolded: "Zhu Zi, I have been doing openly and honest all my life. How could I be the kind of person who commits crimes and embezzles and covers up?"
Chen Qiao touched his nose.
Isn't that what he said?
"Hmph! Let's give up now. You must calm down the things you made. If you continue to make trouble, it will be in your ears. Then you and me will be in trouble!" Li Zheng snorted coldly.
"Understood……"
Chen Qiao sighed, and naturally he knew that he could not continue to make trouble.
Things are indeed a bit big!
He called for someone to post the advertisement in Suzhou City, he sent someone to organize the parade, and the gathering of talented men in Suzhou scolded Su Yue for providing the funds, and he also compiled the nursery rhymes...
Shen Qiao was trying to make this matter bigger.
To be continued...
