Zhao Jun in front was watching these jumping clowns coldly.
But Xiao He, who was standing next to her, was almost laughing out of anger.
He and his men were responsible for paving more than half of the roads in the entire Shu County. How come the responsibility now fell on Zhao Jun?
Moreover, the technology for paving cement roads is already very mature, and there has never been any problem from Xianyang to Ba County.
How could it suddenly crack overnight?
What's more, he personally supervised and inspected all of this, and it was exactly the same as the previous laying method, so there was no way there could be any problems.
How did these people come up with the idea of making a fuss about the road surface?
Xiao He didn't understand, but that didn't stop him from being angry.
Especially when he thought that these roads were most likely damaged by human beings, wouldn’t his work for more than a month be in vain?
Zhao Jun also thought of this, and his face suddenly became darker.
The people's wailing continued. Zhao Jun felt that he had seen enough, so he walked forward to Lu Jing's side.
Xiao He and the other two followed her to the front, and the four of them stood side by side.
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. You're all here to talk to me, so shouldn't you let me have a word?"
She looked down at the people below with a cold face and shouted in a deep voice.
As soon as she opened her mouth, the people who were howling below slowly shut up when they saw the real person coming.
"First of all, cement paved roads are very hard. If they aren't stepped on by heavy objects for a long time, there won't be any cracks. I've been repairing roads all the way from Xianyang to here. It's impossible that only your Shu County has damaged them."
"Also, even if there are cracks on the road, isn't the fundamental reason that people don't pay attention when walking? You trip over the road and then blame the road repairers. Who taught you that?"
Zhao Jun spoke rudely with a cold face.
When she said this, the people below were unhappy. How could this have nothing to do with you? Who asked you to build the road?
Suddenly the people below started to make noise again.
Cheng Yu glanced at the current situation and felt that he had no choice but to take action.
Cheng Xin beside her was also anxious.
So the two of them swaggered out from the corner and walked towards the crowd.
The people who were making trouble immediately quieted down when they saw the two of them, and kept complaining to them afterwards.
Most of the people in the prefectures and counties are grateful to Chengjia and trust Chengjia.
When Zhao Jun above saw the two of them, he understood what was going on.
Lu Jing also widened his eyes. Could it be that they planned this?
"People of Shu County, as soon as our Cheng family heard about this, they immediately called us over to help you. Don't worry, we will definitely bring justice to you."
Cheng Yu started off by speaking some sincere words, which instantly won over the already determined people of Shu County.
Zhao Jun sneered in his heart.
To uphold justice? When will it be the turn of a noble family to uphold justice in the government?
"I already understand the basic situation, Lord Zhao. Although what you said sounds nice, it cannot cover up the fact that many roads are cracked. You are harming the people of Shu County by repairing the road. This is wrong."
"Besides, even if the people really didn't see it clearly, the government should bear more responsibility."
"We in Shu County are a reasonable place, and the people don't dare to really argue with you, but you have to bear the losses and pay for the injuries to these people."
"Also, our Cheng family cannot stand officials who harm the people. After paying the compensation, you should leave Shu County immediately. You are not welcome here."
Cheng Yu stood at the front, looking up and confronting Zhao Jun. The people behind her thought her words made sense, so they started shouting.
"Pay money, pay money."
"Get out of Shu County, get out of Shu County."
The shouting became louder and louder.
Cheng Xin was extremely proud of himself. The people above must have been scared to the point of being speechless.
Zhao Jun didn't say anything, but just gave a look to the captain next to him.
After receiving the order, the man nodded slightly and quickly strode from the back to the front.
He was tall and strong, wearing armor and holding a sword, and looked very scary.
The people behind screamed in fright.
The Cheng sisters standing in the front were facing him directly, and they were both frightened and retreated backwards.
That man was holding a sword and was so fierce, was he planning to attack directly? Cheng Yu thought to himself that this was not good.
The captain did indeed raise his sword and smashed it forward heavily.
He even screamed deliberately, mixing his screams with those of the people behind him.
The sword slammed down heavily, hitting the newly paved cement road outside the county magistrate's mansion with a loud bang.
The captain, having completed his mission, slowly returned to his original position, and the frightened people gradually recovered.
Chengyu was the first to come to his senses, and he believed that no one in Shu County should dare to attack them.
Zhao Jun doesn't care what the people below think.
Now she was happy and spoke in a leisurely tone.
"Look, even this strong soldier of ours with his sword only managed to make a shallow mark on the cement road. How could such a hard road surface crack in just one night?"
Zhao Jun proved this with his actions, and of course deterrence was also the main purpose.
Some ordinary people don’t know what to do.
It seemed to make sense, but did that mean their injuries were in vain?
Cheng Yu noticed the people's hesitation and continued to walk forward and speak.
"This is just external force. What if the road cracks from the inside because you didn't do it properly when you first laid it? That's certainly different from this."
"Don't be afraid, people of Shu County. Chengjia will take care of everything for you."
