Chapter 239 No one from the Li family can be spared
When Huang An heard Senior Sister Zhao's question, he raised his head. Seeing everyone looking at him, he smiled, swallowed the food in his throat, and comforted:
"Don't worry, there are still people who will help them. We definitely have enough manpower!"
Huang An started playing riddles again, Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows and his eyes lit up.
Now that her junior brother is ready, she is relieved.
Luo Feiyao curled her lips. For some reason, she didn't like the way Huang An was blathering in front of others.
The two women are not stupid, do they have other helpers?
In addition to the more than 150 people left in the city lord's palace to serve as Yamen servants and temporary officials of the government,
Where did the rest of the people go?
After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Yan suddenly understood something.
Surprised:
"Could it be the group of people you sent to collect grain outside the city yesterday?"
His eyes were wide open, staring at Huang An without blinking, his expression full of expectation.
Seeing Huang An nodded, Zhao Yan was immediately overjoyed and praised Huang An profusely, praising Huang An as her right-hand man and her support.
Zhao Yan had been really happy these past two days. The task Huang An gave her was very simple and very suitable for her personality.
Trial criminals and eliminate the gangsters in Feng'an City with the help of reward money for filing complaints and redressing grievances.
While venting your inner anger, you can also build your own prestige.
At the same time, he also practiced and prepared for the trial of the big families in the city in the next few days.
Zhao Yanke still clearly remembered how many difficulties and grievances he had to endure when his martial arts gym started from scratch.
After the Li family is eradicated, she will start to deal with other families.
This made her ready to move.
She really likes being the hands-off shopkeeper.
As long as she lies down, the junior brother will take her off by himself.
Luo Feiyao on the side heard the entire conversation between Huang An and Zhao Yan.
"Those people who went out to transport food yesterday were actually helpers?!"
Luo Feiyao was completely stunned.
Now follow this conclusion and move forward to look at Huang An's previous actions.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the context of the matter had always been clear, but she had not understood it before.
"So, I am such a stupid person?"
Luo Feiyao was so shocked by Huang An that she once suspected that she was stupid.
No wonder the fifty or so people who transported grain yesterday never came back. It turned out that they were just pretending to be out of the city to paralyze the Li family.
There were details everywhere, but she ignored them.
She was now certain that those people were already on their way back to the city.
Huang An handles things with such detail.
It was too hidden. She didn't understand the reason yesterday.
A large-scale personnel transfer of more than fifty people will definitely make the Li family alert and take precautions.
For example, at noon the day before yesterday, Huang An swaggered through the market with more than seventy people, including eight bronze-skin realm martial arts masters.
So that evening, people from aristocratic families couldn't stand the tension Huang An could create, so they came one after another with money and goodwill.
Huang An's troops were divided into three groups, and each time they mobilized manpower, the number would be enough to make the Li family vigilant.
Moreover, the reasons used for mobilizing the team are also very normal and reasonable, and can be said to be just right.
There must be more people to pull food out of the city. There are more than fifty people, plus twenty-five or six carriages. This configuration is very reasonable.
After all, every time grain is collected, there will be trouble, and there may be chaos and killing of people. It will definitely not work if there are too few people to go.
There are many official matters in the city lord's palace, and there is a shortage of people everywhere. It is normal for more than 20 people from the martial arts team to be deployed to help.
There are more than thirty people staying in the Zhao family martial arts gym, and most of them are old men who were originally responsible for guarding the martial arts gym, as well as women.
Their tasks are to buy meat, vegetables and other food, as well as clean up and prepare for the banquet.
Under such an arrangement, if the Li family can still be alert, then something is going on.
Luo Feiyao had to admit that as a peer of her own age, Huang An was much better at handling things than she was.
For a moment, I felt a little discouraged, and the buns in my mouth also lost their old flavor.
"Do you want to stop with the silver reward for prosecution?"
Zhao Yan asked Huang An for advice again.
Huang An didn't hesitate, just waved his hand and refused, and explained the reason.
"We can't stop. Let Yan Long continue to keep an eye on it, and leave a brother in the copper-skin realm to prevent accidents. Just let the two of them take charge of this matter together."
Yan Long was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly to show that he was following Huang An's order.
However, everyone present did not pay attention to his attitude at all.
Among everyone, he has the lowest status and martial arts skills, and has no right to speak at all.
Huang An continued to explain.
"We already have a lot of evidence of the Li family's crimes. When the dust settles, we will arrest the Li family and hold a public trial!"
Huang An always does things step by step, so he looks extremely organized.
"Public trial meeting?"
Zhao Yan's eyes lit up, "Tell me in detail?"
Everyone, including Luo Feiyao, Zhang Yi and others, pricked up their ears and wanted to hear Huang An's thoughts.
Huang An put down the big porcelain bowl, wiped his mouth, and explained with a smile:
"The Li family has committed many evil deeds and is notorious both inside and outside the city. There are countless people who have been bullied by the Li family. This public trial means that we sent people in advance to control the Li family and arrange people to find out what troubles them.
"
"On the day of the public trial, gather the masses and publicize it widely. Those who want to be sentenced will be escorted to the execution ground, tried in public, and sentenced!"
Huang An explained the general process of the public trial meeting. Seeing the thoughtful expressions on everyone's faces, he continued:
"Senior sister, you were able to eradicate the cancerous tumor of the Li family when you first took office, and the people in the city will definitely praise you. In addition, the Li family, as the largest force in the city, can be destroyed in one fell swoop. Presumably, the remaining unruly members of the family will also be able to do so in the future.
Will be honest and obedient."
In Huang An's view, the public trial actually has two huge functions.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! First, continue to spread Zhao Yan’s reputation as an upright official and win the hearts of the people.
Secondly, it should deter other forces in the city, big and small, so that they will not dare to do evil again. From now on, they will only obey the orders of the city lord.
Both of these functions are consistent with their original concepts.
If that's the case, why not do it?
This is the best option.
Of course, there is another effect, but even if Huang An says it, Zhao Yan and the others can't understand it.
They might not understand, so Huang An simply stopped talking.
The people of Feng'an City really need a hearty public trial to vent their collective anger after being bullied and exploited for generations.
Sleeping souls need to be awakened. The spiritual outlook of the people in a region is actually more important than anything else.
The limitations of the times prevented them from understanding Huang An's good intentions.
After a few brief exchanges, Zhao Yan went to personally select the Bronze Skin Realm warriors to stay in the city lord's palace.
Huang An took Yan Long to a relatively secluded place and gave him some instructions.
Currently, there are more than 130 people in the City Lord's Mansion, including the top soldiers left behind. These people serve as various temporary civil servants for the City Lord's Mansion.
But today there are only rewards for those who complain, so there is no need for so many people.
When the time is right, before the banquet officially starts at about 12 noon, Yan Long will select a group of people and take them to participate in the task of surrounding the Li family.
No one from the Li family can be spared!·
Sin must be judged.
By the time the matter was finished and Huang An and his party left the city lord's mansion, it was already half past seven in the morning.
With the arrival of a new day, there is a huge flow of people on the street, vendors and diners mingle, and the whole street is in full swing.
People who came to the City Lord's Mansion to watch the excitement had gradually begun to gather.
Although the ground is muddy, it doesn't matter once you get used to it.
The group of people quickly returned to the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall.
