Chapter 994 Zhao Ling has changed
Sheng Ze saw Shen Qingqian almost at the same time. His brows wrinkled slightly, and then he looked away as if nothing had happened.
Shen Qingqian knew that she was seen, and she quickly looked away feeling guilty.
It's over, it's over. How am I going to explain it later?
Before she could hesitate for too long, the situation naturally changed with the arrival of King Zhao.
Ordinary people were afraid even of the county magistrate. They had already exhausted all their courage to come to the government office to make trouble today. When they saw King Zhao, the group of people suddenly became quiet.
Zhao Bing also came, but he consciously stood at the back.
Zhao Ye stood beside Zhao Bing without knowing when, and whispered to him, "Second brother, I have kept these people here as you instructed. Now let's see how Zhao Ling responds."
Because of the several tasks Zhao Ling had accomplished before, he was increasingly valued by King Zhao. After he ordered the villagers to be settled a few days ago, he did not ask about it again. This gave Zhao Bing and others the opportunity to make some changes.
He didn't expect the villagers to be so bold that they even dared to go to the government office to sue him.
King Zhao glanced sideways at Zhao Ling, who felt his face flush. He quickly stepped forward, facing the villagers, and bowed, saying, "Fellow villagers, this is my fault. I'm aware of your situation and have already dispatched someone to handle it. Please return. I'll give you an explanation tomorrow at the latest."
On the way here, he had asked his subordinates to solve the matter, hoping that his father would not think he was incompetent.
Prince Zhao was quite satisfied with his attitude and took over the conversation, saying to the crowd, "I have heard of the needs of the villagers. I have come here today to tell you that we are actively responding to this year's cold disaster. The people around me are from northern Hubei and are the late Crown Prince's capable men."
Prince Zhao raised his hand and pointed at Shen Chen and the others. No emotion could be seen on his dignified face. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is concerned about the country and the people. He has specially sent winter supplies for you folks. You can go home and wait without worry."
This was said as if northern Hubei came to deliver supplies, and at the same time it was also telling everyone that the six northwestern states had a good relationship with Ezhou, and what Ezhou had, they would soon have too.
Shen Qingqian was stunned when she heard this, and then frowned. King Zhao's move was really smart. It was clearly forcing them not to ask too much for cold-resistant supplies.
Sheng Ze didn't react much when he heard this. He had just heard about what was happening here when they met King Zhao. When King Zhao suggested that they go together, he had anticipated the current situation.
Upon hearing this, Shen Chen immediately stood up and said to everyone with a kind smile, "Don't worry, folks. The prince cares about the people. A few days ago, he sent a message to Your Highness, hoping that Ezhou could help the six northwestern states overcome their difficulties. He is willing to pay a high price for winter supplies from the people of Ezhou. Your Highness is also worried about this year's weather. Upon receiving the news, he immediately gathered a batch of supplies and ordered us to deliver them."
This was a good point. It not only fulfilled King Zhao's words, but also ensured that Shen Qingqian and the others would not suffer any losses. Shen Qingqian almost cheered for Shen Chen.
The corners of Sheng Ze's lips rose slightly, he knew that the person recommended by Shen Qingqian would not be wrong.
Ling Yun smiled with a hint of gloating, but it was blocked by the human skin mask on his face and no one could see it.
When King Zhao and the others heard this, their expressions turned ugly, but they couldn't deny Shen Shen's words at this time, and they all pursed their lips.
Zhao Bing looked at Zhao Ling. He was very confused. Why did Zhao Ling seem like a different person? The Zhao Ling of the past would never bow to a group of peasants.
What happened to Zhao Ling?
