Chapter 993 Confrontation
"The prince said this himself, call him out and confront him!"
"Yes, we need to confront him!"
""
This group of people came to make trouble today without thinking that they would get anything good. They were completely fearless and were sticking their necks out to seek justice for themselves.
Shen Qingqian admired this group of people from the bottom of her heart. After all, in such an environment, they dared to come to the door and make trouble, which really took some courage.
I just don't know how the Chenzhou prefect will solve it.
"Silence!" The prefect banged his gavel, temporarily calming everyone in the hall.
The prefect of Chenzhou was able to sit in this position, so he was naturally no mediocre person and he had already known the cause and effect of the matter.
"Does this arguing solve the problem? Tell me the whole story, and I'll make the final decision!"
He had only asked one question just now, but this group of people refused to give in. It seemed that he couldn't use the usual methods to deal with these people today.
Shen Qingqian raised her eyebrows when she heard this. This person's words are a bit tricky! I wonder if the villagers will be tricked.
The people who came today were ordinary people. They also knew that the government was insidious, but when they heard the prefect of Chenzhou ask them to petition, they still nominated someone to be their representative.
"Sir, a few days ago..."
The person who was nominated should be someone with some education in the village. He explained in a simple and clear manner how Zhao Ling had captured them and promised to distribute supplies to them.
Then the man bowed and said, "Your Excellency, Chenzhou is where we were born and raised. If we really couldn't make a living here, why would we leave? Your Highness gave us hope to stay in our hometown, but he left us disappointed."
At this point, he paused and continued, "Please forgive me for saying something disrespectful, Your Excellency." He bowed towards the court and said, "After we discovered that we were deceived by the prince, if we were not reluctant to leave our homeland, why would we come to the government office to seek justice?"
They could obviously organize their men and escape quietly again, but with the experience from last time, King Zhao's army might not be able to catch them this time.
But unless it is absolutely necessary, who would be willing to leave their familiar hometown? Even if northern Hubei is a perfect place, as long as they can still survive here, they would not be willing to go.
These words shocked Shen Qingqian's heart. The feelings of the ancients towards their homeland might be incomprehensible to many people living in modern times, but this person's words made her think about a question.
In Shengze’s previous plan, the news released by Hubei to accept these people was actually just a gesture. Zheng Shicheng only had a response plan and did not spend much effort to make arrangements.
At that time, Sheng Ze said, "It is difficult for people to leave their homeland. After we take Chenzhou, the people of the two states will probably have to migrate."
What he meant was that there was no need to invest too much now to avoid a big fight later.
At first, Shen Qingqian thought that Ezhou must be very attractive to the people affected by the cold disaster, and perhaps Shengze’s idea was wrong.
Only then did she realize that the native people of Dajin understood them better.
Just as Shen Qingqian was thinking, someone outside the door announced loudly, "The prince is here! The prince is here!"
Everyone turned their heads to look at the gate. Shen Qingqian was puzzled. Weren't the King of Zhao and his men discussing the purchase of weapons and seeds with Sheng Ze and others at this moment? Why did the King of Zhao come here?
In just the blink of an eye, King Zhao led a group of people into the lobby of the government office.
The second before Shen Qingqian looked away, she saw Sheng Ze and Ling Yun in disguise, and her eyes widened immediately.
What's going on? Why did they follow me?
