Chapter 288 Still a child?
It's all over, everything is over.
Now it's not just that the other party has violated the law, but that the Imperial Advisor is preparing to deal with them according to the law.
More importantly, all of this happened right under the nose of the Grand Preceptor.
At the same time, the other party was so arrogant and domineering just now.
If Zhao Kuo really committed a crime, then many of them wouldn't be able to escape punishment, right?
The group of people immediately shuddered.
He quickly distanced himself from Zhao Kuo.
"Your Excellency, we are innocent! Even if this person is Zhao Kuo, his usual actions have nothing to do with us."
"That's right. He has always had a bad reputation in our Handan city. We don't associate with him. Please, Grand Preceptor, investigate this matter."
Tang Yu remained silent as he watched a group of nobles trying to extricate themselves from the matter and clear their names.
He simply approached Zhao Kuo's father, who was already dumbfounded, and slowly spoke.
"What? Aren't you curious about where your son has been these past few days? Aren't you curious about who took him away?"
"That's right, I'm the one who let him take him away, and he really is your son, Zhao Kuo."
"Didn't you say you were going to tear me to pieces? Or make my whole family pay with their lives? Why don't you try?"
Zhao Kuo's father was dumbfounded.
When he heard Tang Yu's words, he shuddered.
He scrambled over to Tang Yu's side and hurriedly said.
"Grand Preceptor, I made a slip of the tongue and offended you. Please forgive me."
"It was really a misunderstanding about my son. It was really just that my son... my son... my son was confused for a moment."
He couldn't think of any other excuse to defend Zhao Kuo, so he quickly started saying things to gain sympathy.
Finally, he looked at Tang Yu in front of him and said with utmost seriousness.
"Please, Your Excellency, give my son a chance."
"Although my son is a bit mischievous on a regular basis, he is still a very good person at heart."
"He also helps cats and dogs in Handan City, and many of his neighbors in Handan City think he is a good person."
“He is a good son at home, but he is still a child himself. This was unintentional on his part; he had no ill intentions.”
"Your Excellency, please spare his life."
Hearing this person's words, Tang Yu's eyes narrowed again and again.
He never expected that even after time-traveling, he would hear such infuriating words.
Is he still just a child?
Even if Zhao Kuo really was a child, Tang Yu would never let him go.
After all, I've seen this principle of human nature being inherently evil far too often.
Moreover, the other party seems to be older than Tang Yu. Is this person a child?
Tang Yu's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything.
He simply looked at Zhao Kuo's father with cold and unfriendly eyes, and finally slowly spoke.
"Gentlemen, Zhao Kuo has violated the laws of our Great Qin."
"Similarly, I have heard that many nobles in Handan are like Zhao Kuo."
"They usually prey on the people, disregard the laws of Qin, break the law in various ways, and bully the people of Qin in our city of Handan."
"Although the investigation into this case is not yet complete, since this matter has nothing to do with the nobles in Handan City..."
"Then why don't we resolve these issues first?"
Although Tang Yu was asking questions, everyone knew that he was simply informing everyone.
Facing Tang Yu, who was unstoppable in Xianyang City and was even a close friend and brother of Ying Zheng.
Would these little karaokes from Handan dare to say a word against it?
It should be noted that although Tang Yu was far away in Xianyang, there were many people and soldiers in Handan who had received his favors.
Whether it's the waterwheel used at home, the potatoes and sweet potatoes we eat now, or the tax reductions, everything is thanks to Tang Yu's kindness.
Without realizing it, they came to regard Tang Yu as their hero.
If there is anyone in the Qin state who can mobilize troops without any equipment or even just by having a face, then that person must be Tang Yu and Ying Zheng.
Besides these two, even Prime Minister Li Si was not an option.
So even if they wanted to resist now, the surrounding soldiers wouldn't listen to them.
After all, although they were soldiers, they also came from humble backgrounds.
Seeing the plight of these people, he felt their hearts ache.
But the constraints they were bound to prevent them from doing anything.
Now that the Imperial Advisor Tang Yu is truly preparing to act as an official and uphold justice for these people, how can they not support him?
"Take down all the people that Zhao Kuo just pointed to."
"Immediately seize all their wives, children, and property, then take inventory within an hour, list all their crimes, and put them on trial in front of everyone."
As soon as Tang Yu finished speaking, Shen Lang turned and left.
Although he appeared to be alone, he took away a considerable number of members of the gentry.
Local people can also provide him with intelligence.
Similarly, the Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards) hiding in the shadows were not to be trifled with; they had thoroughly investigated the backgrounds of these people.
After Tang Yu finished doing all this, he sat leisurely in his seat, waiting for things to continue.
He was curious about what the entire city of Handan would look like after this matter was over.
At this moment, the group of people pointed at by Zhao Kuo all opened their mouths wide and looked at Tang Yu with despair.
They then turned their attention to Zhao Kuo and began to hurl insults at him.
After all, they never imagined that just involving someone unrelated to them, or even a case that wronged them, would lead to their deaths.
The root cause of all this is none other than his own good nephew, who casually pointed at something.
At that moment, they wished they could strangle Zhao Kuo.
"Zhao Kuo, you bastard, why did you try to harm me?"
"Oh dear, I've always treated you well. I even shared those two women with you last time, and yet you still treat me like this!"
"Zhao Kuo, I don't know you at all, why are you pointing at me?"
"Your Excellency, I beg you, I really have nothing to do with Zhao Kuo, you must believe me!"
The more they fought like dogs, the more excited Tang Yu became.
This group of people are truly cut from the same cloth; they're all shameless.
As for the other onlookers, they looked at this place with eager eyes and full of expectation.
They wanted to see how Tang Yu would deal with these nobles.
If Tang Yu really does what he says, then these people will truly be saved.
They've finally found their rightful and upright official!
