375. Chapter 375 Debt repayment problem
Wu Jing and Xu Gao both suggested that Su Qin take over Mingjianhu. Su Qin himself did not have the money to repay the debts owed by Lu Tong, but felt that even if Lu Tong was a prisoner, he could not force his purchase and robbers, so what would be the difference between him and Lu Tong and a hooligan like him. Therefore, although Wu Jing and Xu Gao both tried their best to persuade each other, Su Qin still did not agree.
Listening to the discussion between Wu Jing and Xu Gao, Su Qin remembered how to deal with Lu Tong's problem. Although this person had shamelessly framed him, what kind of punishment should he be sentenced to? It was the law of the Zhou Dynasty to convict him. How could he deliberately increase his punishment for his personal grudge?
The Zhou Dynasty's laws were not punished, and they were not allowed to be punished. However, since Li Kui of Wei promulgated the Code, the idea that the prince violated the law and the common people had become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the world, and almost all countries have issued similar laws as usual. Even Luoyang, ruled by the Zhou emperor, was no exception.
Su Qin came out of the common people, and of course he supported the basic principles of the Li Kui decree, because for the first time it made ordinary people straighten their waists and made the guilty nobles lower their noble heads. Of course, there are many people who are committing favoritism and fraud, but as an emerging powerful man, Su Qin was determined to treat all suspects in accordance with the new laws.
Otherwise, what is different from those old nobles? How can we convince everyone? You must know that the two principles of credibility and strict laws and regulations promoted and upheld by the Union Alliance are the two principles of credibility and strict laws.
Su Qin smiled at Wu Jing and Xu Gao's proposal and said, "I will discuss this matter in the future. I will interrogate Lu Tong tomorrow and then investigate his crime before talking about it."
Su Qin did what he said, and the next day he brought Lu Tong from his guards and handed over it to Luoyang Commander Nangong Zao, and then worked with him to try Lu Tong's guilt.
Nangong Zao was a senior doctor of the Zhou Dynasty and was in charge of civil affairs in Luoyang. He was excluded by Lu Tong in the court and hated him to the core, so his subordinates did not leave any room at all.
Before Su Qin could ask Lu Tong about the crime he stated, two or three hundred citizens who had asked Lu Tong to settle the accounts were spontaneously from all directions in Luoyang. These people rushed into the Luoyang Order Office in Nangong, and rushed towards Lu Tong.
Seeing that the crowd of people who were oppressing Lu Tong was excited, Su Qin seemed to be trying to swallow Lu Tong alive, and said to himself: "It must be Nangong Zao who took a walk out to hear the news of Lu Tong, otherwise, how could these people know that Lu Tong was being escorted here for interrogation?"
He hurriedly ordered the followers' guards to separate the crowd from Lu Tong to prevent Lu Tong from being beaten to death in the court. Lu Tong himself was so scared that he shook his mind and shrank into a ball on the ground.
These people who flocked to the yamen were talking and shouting about their grievances. They each had different professions, but most of them were businessmen. These people were robbed by Lu Tong of business. The mildest ones gave up their property, and the worst ones were persecuted and lost their entire family.
There were even poor people who sold charcoal and water in the middle, and they were also accounted for by Lu Tonglai or seized the goods they sold.
Su Qin looked at Lu Tong, his heart was filled with anger, and he was very disdainful of Lu Tong's greed. As a minister of the Zhou Dynasty, he took the titles and salaries of the court and accumulated tens of thousands of gold in wealth. Why bother with a small businessman to care about charcoal and water bills?

Seeing that Su Qin was still hesitating, Nangong Zuo decided to strike while the iron was hot and persuade Su Qin to take care of this matter to the end. He bowed and bowed to Su Qin Chang and said, "Prime Minister Su, you are good to do it to the end. For the sake of these unjust people in Luoyang, find a solution for us."
Su Qin looked at Nangong Zao, then looked at the crowd in front of him, and finally couldn't help but feel deeply sympathy in his heart. He took two steps forward and helped up the kneeling people.
He said, "Everyone, I, Su Jizi, are also from Luoyang. How can I bear to see you kneel here hungry? I promise to get compensation for you."
Nangong Zao also echoed: "Lu Tong has been sentenced to death. It is winter now, so he will be taken to the execution ground soon. Let him pay for the blood debt owed by his life."
A burst of cheers suddenly broke out in the crowd, and everyone shouted: "Great, this culprit has finally been sentenced to death, and Luoyang City has lost one major disaster since then!"
After a burst of cheers, people still had no intention of leaving. Everyone knew that they should try to get the compensation they deserve from the death row prisoner Lu Tong, even if it was less, they could not come back without a single penny.
Moreover, people are mainly worried about unfair compensation distribution. Those who shouted for injustice and pursued debts frequently asked for more, while those who did not pursued them in a hurry suffered a great loss.
Nangong Zao gave Su Qin to the yamen again. The two sat down. Nangong Zao explained his difficulties to Su Qin straight to the point.
He said: "These people gather here and it is difficult to dismiss them for a while. Our yamen is not a treasury, so where can we find money to compensate them immediately. But if they don't get compensation, how can they be willing to go home? What should I do?"
Wu Jing, Ning Jun and others followed Su Qin, and they were also in trouble for this matter. Ning Jun thought for a while and said, "That Lu Tong was extremely guilty. His property would be settled. But if anyone could agree to pay the debt for him first, those creditors would disperse."
Nangong Zao nodded, and his eyes looked at Su Qin, obviously hoping that Su Qin could help him. Su Qin also knew what Nangong Zao meant. He thought hard about how to solve the problem, but did not immediately come forward to accept it.
Wu Jing raised another difficult question, and he said: "There are 2 or 300 people outside the yamen. Who can raise so much money to them at once? Even if there is so much wealth, it is impossible to give it to them just by saying it, and it will be cashed out immediately!"
After hearing Ning Jun's words, Nangong Zao replied: "This is exactly the difficulty for me. Lu Tong's property needs to be sold before it can be discounted. However, these people surrounded the yamen and refused to leave. How can I handle official duties in the Luoyang official office? What is the conciseness?"
Ning Jun, Wu Jing, Nangong Zao and others were talking and talking. Everyone thought this was not easy to deal with and could not do anything.
Nangong Zao was anxious because these people were surrounded by Luoyang's official office and had not dispersed the next day, but it became a street scene in Luoyang, which would definitely be a big strange story in the city. Wherever he put his face, although from the beginning to the end, Nangong Zao felt that he had done nothing wrong.
Nangong Zao was cruel and asked Su Qin: "Why don't you bother Prime Minister Su to help and send troops to disperse these people." Wu Jing and Xu Gao both suggested that Su Qin take over Mingjianhu. Su Qin himself did not have the money to repay the debts owed by Lu Tong, but felt that even if Lu Tong was a prisoner, he could not force his purchase and robbers, so what's the difference between him and Lu Tong's robbers and hooligans. Therefore, although Wu Jing and Xu Gao both tried their best to persuade each other, Su Qin still did not agree.

This kind of greedy person is really abominable. No wonder he exposes his trick of cheating Xu Gao of money, and he deliberately frames him because of his greed.
Nangong Zao said to the crowd: "Master Su's wise and wise, he took down this evil villain in one fell swoop. Today, Lu Tong was held in my lobby, and he could never escape. Don't worry, all the villagers and elders, you will tell me one by one, and then record it from the yamen. Let's settle the accounts with Lu Tong slowly."
