As soon as someone shouts something out of anger, you know something is wrong.
Sure enough, when Cheng Xin was glaring at Zhao Jun angrily, he was shocked when he saw the other party's half-smile.
Zhao Jun fell silent after provoking her. The surroundings were unusually quiet, which irritated Cheng Xin's sensitive nerves.
Cheng Xin suddenly felt guilty and couldn't help but take two steps back quietly.
But at this moment, everyone's attention was focused on her, so her retreat was particularly obvious.
"Haha, so now you're the one saying that you deliberately want to make trouble for her because you don't like us adults, right?"
In the silence, Liu Bang laughed and pointed at her and shouted in a very provocative tone.
Because of Liu Bang's words, the originally silent crowd began to whisper.
They also began to express doubts about the Cheng sisters.
"Humph, our cement road surface has been through countless practices and research, and it was laid by local workers from Ba County. Basically, they use local workers. Could it be that they will harm the people of Shu County?"
"So all of this must have been deliberately done to mess with me. Did they send someone to secretly destroy the road in the middle of the night?"
Zhao Jun returned to the original question and asked another round of questions.
Cheng Xin was so frightened that he immediately refuted.
"How, how is it possible, I, I didn't."
Although she refuted it, it would have been better if she hadn't, because her tone and expression were so guilty that it looked like she was lying.
"Master Zhao, please don't accuse me of anything without evidence."
At the critical moment, Chengyu stood up and pulled his sister behind him.
At this point, it should be impossible to drive Zhao Jun out of Shu County, but as long as he refuses to admit it, this matter has nothing to do with the Cheng family.
After thinking about it, I think the best situation is to withdraw now.
"Master Zhao does have some truth in what he said. We really can't blame everything on your decision to build the road. We may have been a little impulsive before, and the people must have misunderstood us."
Chengyu regained his composure and said with a smile.
Zhao Jun now admires the second young lady very much. She can change her expression at will and knows when to advance and retreat.
But it's probably too late to stay out of trouble now.
"Second Miss's words are so nice, and she's really sincere. Look, this is something you can't learn even by flattering others."
"Since cracks have appeared on the road surface in Shu County, we cannot ignore them. It is not ruled out that someone deliberately damaged the road surface. As an inspector, I cannot ignore them."
"From now on, I will lead the soldiers to assist the county governor in investigating the road damage. If any man-made damage is found, punishment will be imposed according to Qin law."
The expressions of the people below changed. Investigation? Qin Lu?
Everyone knows that Qin laws are strict. If they are punished according to the law, they will probably be sentenced to death.
Cheng Yu had a smile on his face but his palms were already sweating, not to mention Cheng Xin, who was already feeling guilty.
Now the two sisters remembered what their eldest sister had said before, that this person was indeed difficult to deal with.
"Once the matter is thoroughly investigated, I will naturally give everyone an explanation."
"But now."
The King of Zhao glanced at Liu Bang and the captain, and they both immediately understood what he meant.
Liu Bang looked very proud and awe-inspiring.
He took the captain's soldiers and captured all the people who had just thrown the vegetable leaves.
There was a sudden shout from the crowd, but no matter how many civilians there were, how could they compare to the well-trained soldiers?
Soon four people were pulled out.
"These individuals just now dared to openly throw things in front of the County Magistrate's Mansion, attempting to attack the County Magistrate and other officials. County Magistrate Lu, according to the law, how should these individuals be dealt with?"
She turned her head slightly and asked Lu Jing who was beside her.
Lu Jing had been a little confused since Zhao Jun scolded him just now, and he got stuck this time. Fortunately, Xiao He next to him quickly made up for it.
"According to Qin law, anyone who attacks an official without authorization will have their property confiscated and be subjected to forced labor."
As soon as these words were spoken, the four people kneeling on the ground suddenly turned pale and almost all of them were speechless.
The punishment of forced labor for the entire family is too severe.
It was obvious that these people were driven by the Cheng family to cause trouble, so how could they end up like this? They couldn't help but look at the Cheng sisters.
Cheng Yu also felt reluctant, but this matter could not be related to the Cheng family in public, so he winked at them.
Zhao Jun, who was standing above, noticed it.
"The punishment of forcing the entire family into forced labor is too harsh. Considering that these are first-time offenders, they will be imprisoned in the county magistrate's office until the results of the investigation are in."
Several people breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, but they felt as if there was a knife clamped on their necks, ready to fall at any moment, and they were even more tormented.
"Haha, then I hope that Lord Zhao can investigate and deal with the results as soon as possible."
Cheng Yi replied with a forced smile.
At that time, there were fewer people gathering in front of the door to watch the excitement.
Many people sensed something unusual in the conversation between these people, so they quickly scattered and retreated.
After Cheng Yu said that, he pulled his sister away from the scene.
The county magistrate's mansion, which was just crowded with people, was suddenly left with only them and the captain.
"Hahaha, sir, what you just said was too bluffing. Well done. It's that married man who always causes trouble."
As soon as the man left Liu Bang, he began to laugh unrestrainedly.
Xiao He also stood aside and nodded.
Only Lu Jing hasn't reacted yet. How could this matter be resolved so quickly?
"Okay, this matter is not over yet, let's go back and talk about it first."
