Chapter 286 Even Nobles Are Wronged?
"I implore Your Excellency to investigate thoroughly; this incident truly has nothing to do with us."
As he knelt, the other nobles quickly followed suit.
She poured out her grievances to Tang Yu.
After all, they really didn't do anything.
Especially after the first incident, they thought it was another nobleman who had been angered by a commoner and had chosen to retaliate in this way.
But in the end, they discovered that things were completely different from what they had imagined; the situation was utterly bizarre.
The case, which was originally intended to be covered up, has now become a ticking time bomb in our hands.
They were caught in a dilemma: revealing the truth was problematic, and letting him continue the countdown was also problematic.
Now that the two sides have finally been exposed, they feel incredibly wronged.
Watching these nobles' feigned innocence and their complaints, Tang Yu merely observed coldly, without taking any action or responding.
After all, what right do these nobles have to come here and plead their grievances based on their actions?
If they can all voice their grievances, then which of the people present is not wronged?
Who among them wouldn't complain endlessly?
The initially indignant crowd fell silent after hearing the account from Zhao Qiang, the governor of Handan.
They never imagined things would turn out this way.
The other party's logic was not only rigorous and clear, but they even admitted to omitting some points in their statements.
Or it could be described as dereliction of duty, or even illegal acts.
Right in front of Tang Yu, it would absolutely be a capital offense.
But the other party even admitted to that.
Could it be that we have really wronged the other party?
Many people were deep in thought.
However, not every ordinary person can think so comprehensively.
Many people who have lost loved ones do not have this thought in their minds.
They only wanted to attack the enemy they had preconceived notions about; they only wanted revenge.
Regardless of who the target was, they just wanted to vent their anger.
But what if you tell them that the person they've been united against all along, the one they want to take revenge on, isn't the one who killed their loved ones?
Their beliefs would collapse in an instant.
So now they seek revenge for the sake of revenge.
Looking at Tang Yu, an idea came to them.
Finally, he couldn't help but shout it out.
"Your Excellency, these are all Zhao Qiang's one-sided statements. How can they be trusted?"
“We have truly lost many loved ones. If they weren’t killed by the nobles, then who else could have killed them?”
"Grand Preceptor, could it be that because you are also an official and a nobleman, you are colluding with those nobles in Handan to deceive us?"
"Yes, Grand Preceptor, our relatives were killed because of conflicts and contradictions with them."
"Even if there are no traces or evidence, who else could have committed the murder besides them?"
"Yeah, could it be someone else who did the killings? How could an ordinary citizen kill so many people? Besides, we can't afford such expensive cloth!"
"Yes, why kill so many people? How could that be possible?"
After these people shouted their words, many people showed hesitant expressions.
They wanted to believe Tang Yu, but they had seen the corpses with their own eyes; seeing was believing.
It seems wrong to trust either side, no matter what.
They could only hesitate, unsure of which side they should choose.
Both sides seemed to have valid points, which put them in a real dilemma.
Upon seeing this scene, Tang Yu immediately glanced at the Zhao nobles led by Zhao Qiang and revealed a somewhat sinister smile.
He addressed the people.
"Please rest assured, everyone. Since you trust me, Tang Yu, I will not let you down no matter what."
"I will definitely give you a clear explanation in this case."
Sensing the fierce glint in Tang Yu's eyes, the group of nobles shuddered.
Why do they feel like this is going to target them?
They looked at each other, a hint of panic in their eyes.
But they couldn't care less about that in order to survive.
They immediately sent a representative to Tang Yu's side, who scrambled to speak.
"Your Excellency, I...I also want to report this to the police."
"Although we haven't killed any of these civilians, they really did send people to kidnap my son!"
"Please, Your Excellency, grant me this request."
?
"Oh, they kidnapped your son?"
Tang Yu was a little confused, and he slowly typed out a question mark.
After all, he had spent the last few days in Handan City, and Tang Yu knew everything about the people's actions, who their leader was, and their related activities.
They even wanted to recruit Tang Yu into their group.
How could Tang Yu not know when this man's son was kidnapped?
However, he had already guessed a name by then.
That was Zhao Kuo, with whom he had a conflict back then.
Sure enough, the middle-aged man in front of them stood up the next moment and looked at the other people.
He spoke with extreme anger and hoarseness.
"You! It's all you!"
“My son Zhao Kuo was kidnapped by you people three days ago.”
“At that time, you used the scam of a young girl selling herself to bury her father to lure my son to the place.”
“My son is kind-hearted and wants to help his father sell himself into servitude to bury him, and even wants to give him extra money.”
"But in the end, they were kidnapped. How could you lowly people bear to do that?"
As he finished speaking, he failed to see that Tang Yu behind him already had an icy, steely expression.
Your son is kind-hearted?
Damn it, he's clearly lustful!
More money?
This is clearly an attempt to force a sale!
Such a beast, given what he does, is still considered a human being in your eyes!
He immediately looked at Zhao Kuo's father in front of him and slowly spoke.
"In that case, you don't need to report it to the police, because you and your son will be reunited soon."
Zhao Kuo's father looked puzzled; he really didn't understand what Tang Yu meant by those words.
Tang Yu didn't explain, he just waved to Shen Lang.
With a slight flick of his finger, Shen Lang stepped out from behind him.
At the same time, he was also carrying a burlap sack.
And the sack was being rummaged through right under everyone's noses.
Inside was a living creature.
Many people are curious about what exactly Tang Yu put in his sack.
When the sack was opened the next moment, everyone understood, especially Zhao Kuo's father.
Zhao Kuo was prominently displayed inside.
