The refugees were overwhelmed by Zhou Jin's momentum. They all calmed down, and one person walked out and said to Zhou Jin:
"Sir, we have no intention of causing trouble, we just want to ask for an explanation!".
Zhou Jin shouted angrily:
"You want to ask for an explanation? You didn't say you wanted to find out the real culprit, and you didn't say you wanted to sit down and negotiate. You just thought that we were the culprits who killed this old man. You just opened your mouth to ask us to agree to your promise.
Conditions, do you really think that the army of Jianlan City is made of clay?
All go back!
The explanation will naturally be given to you, but after the real culprit is found, compensation will naturally be given, but everything must follow the compensation process of Gladiolus City. Comfort money? Not even a copper coin. Want comfort money? Compensate to us first.
Appeasement gold!
How many days have you been here? There have been strikes one after another. In Taidong Town, you have attacked military camps, robbed merchants, and looted granaries. Have you lived peacefully for a single second? We bought you, but we have never treated you as outsiders!
We treat you as our biological brothers, and you, treat us as your cousins!”.
A group of people were silenced by Zhou Jin's anger, and no one dared to come out to refute.
At this time, Xu Kuang's voice came from afar:
"well said!".
At the very back of the crowd, Xu Kuang stepped forward, with his head held high and his chest high, his eyes looking at the refugees extremely calm, as calm as a frozen lake, without any ripples, but making people feel chilled all over.
.
Zhou Jin and Zhuge Duan were naturally relieved when they saw Xu Kuang coming.
The crowd unnaturally separated into two groups, allowing Xu Kuang to pass through.
Behind Xu Kuang, there were twelve coffins. The workers placed the coffins side by side with Yang Da Ri's coffin. In the same mourning hall, Xu Kuang asked his men to arrange twelve coffins in a row, almost filling the road.
It's just that all the directions in this mourning hall are towards the refugees.
Xu Kuang stood in front of this row of mourning halls and shouted:
"These thirteen people died together, why do you only worship Yang Dari? Is it possible that Yang Dari's life is higher than the others?".
Some people frowned and began to think about this problem.
Xu Kuang didn't wait for the group of people to react. He just turned around and worshiped everyone in accordance with the etiquette of Jianlan City.
"Whoever wants to speak today should first come and worship the other twelve people before speaking!".
As soon as these words came out, another person came out from the crowd. After worshiping one by one, he stood in front of Xu Kuang.
Just as he was about to speak, Xu Kuang slapped the man in the face.
"I am a personal viscount from the kingdom. If you don't bow to the viscount when you see him, are you preparing to rebel?".
Everyone was stunned. Of course they knew they had to kneel down when they saw the Viscount, but Xu Kuang had never asked for this.
The crowd cheered and knelt down.
When Xu Kuang saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel even more bitter. In the end, what gave him dignity was actually the thing he hated the most.
"Sure enough, everything has two sides. This is not the previous life after all." Xu Kuang thought this way.
"Let's all get flat!".
The crowd cheered and stood up.
Xu Kuang looked at the man in front of him and asked:
"If you have any requirements, tell me."
Xu Kuang's strength was so strong that the man's mouth was swollen. The man covered his face and said vaguely to Xu Kuang:
"Please Sir, please find out the real culprit first."
Xu Kuang looked at this man in astonishment and asked:
"What's the real culprit? These people didn't retreat on time as required, which forced the blasting time to be moved back half an hour. I'm being extremely merciful by not holding them accountable. What's the real culprit you want me to hold accountable?".
The man said to Xu Kuang:
"Impossible, why did Mr. Yang die? If this is a coincidence, it is too coincidental."
Xu Kuang snorted coldly and said:
"There are regulations in the quarry. Any quarry blasting must leave video evidence. We will know exactly what happened at a glance. Come and set up the projection screen!".
The projection screen was quickly set up, and the deputy director of the quarry handed over the video tape.
The video soon showed Yang Dari and others stealing explosives.
Xu Kuang couldn't help but ask:
"Who knows what they stole the explosives for? Tell me, don't you want evidence? The whistleblower will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins, but I'll tell you the truth first. If anyone spreads rumors, I can only put him in jail until he dies."
.
When the man heard this, he trembled.
Why Yang Da Ri stole the explosives is not a secret. At least hundreds of people must know about it.
Sure enough, someone walked out. The man turned around and saw that it was Zhao Ertu.
"I know.".
Xu Kuang nodded and said to him:
"explain.".
"Yang Da Ri stole explosives in order to accumulate them little by little, and then wait for someone to sneak into the weapons factory and secretly manufacture weapons!".
Xu Kuang frowned. He now felt that Yang Dari really deserved to die...
"Then why did Yang Da Ri make weapons?".
Later the man continued:
"It is to form his own armed forces, threaten the order of Jianlan City, and negotiate terms with you."
Xu Kuang looked calm and asked:
"What's your name? How do you know this? Can you prove that what you said is not a lie?".
The man said to Xu Kuang respectfully:
"My name is Zhao Ertu, and I am Yang Dari's biological son. Yang Dari was greedy for profit and worried that you would threaten him with us, so he changed our surname. I was at the scene the day Yang Dari conspired. I can use
I will risk my life to guarantee that what I say is absolutely the truth.”
Xu Kuang was completely uninterested in listening at this moment. He just felt that his head was buzzing and was about to explode.
Xu Kuang grabbed Zhao Ertu's collar tightly, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
"What did you say your name was?".
Zhao Ertu didn't know why, so he had to repeat it.
"My name is Zhao Ertu."
Xu Kuang felt a little dizzy. He braced himself and said to everyone:
"You all heard it, right? Who has any other opinions? Speak out now!".
No one spoke at all.
Xu Kuang couldn't care about this anymore and asked:
"Do you know who is involved? Point it out!".
Some people in the crowd were ashen-faced!
Zhao Ertu's fingers moved again and again, like a life-threatening charm, causing some people's faces to lose their color.
Some people frantically squeezed out of the crowd and tried to escape, but were shot dead on the spot by the guards who had already noticed.
Zhou Jin shouted angrily:
"Whoever dares to move will be shot to death immediately."
Chen Xiaolong shouted:
"Guard, arrest the person you named!".
Soon, a group of people knelt in front of Xu Kuang.
Xu Kuang looked at the mourning hall behind him again, sighed, and said to everyone:
"I thought I had to pay a large pension today, but I didn't expect someone to save me money today!".
Xu Kuang almost said it through gritted teeth.
He said to Chen Xiaolong:
"Handle it according to the laws of Gladiolus City!"
Chen Xiaolong immediately ordered the guards to lock up the group of people.
This group of people understood everything at this moment. Although they were greedy, they never thought of rebellion.
