I have a knife, out of the sheath can kill monsters

Chapter 100 Black and white, I have the final say

With the skyrocketing prices, there are more and more voices condemning Ji Chen, and more and more voices asking him to come out to apologize.

Even the well-trained Beiming iron pot was very angry.

"It's obvious that someone is manipulating behind the scenes, trying to muddy the water, shifting their eyes and hatred to Heifengzhai and Guangling Sword Sect."

Murong Tiehammer also frowned and said: "Public opinion is the most difficult to deal with. If something goes wrong, it will cause turmoil or even large-scale riots. Once this happens, the consequences will be disastrous."

……

In the county office, Jiang Zuozhi was sitting in the study, and Zhu Bo was standing beside him.

"My lord, it has been found out that all the people in Zhao's mansion that day were killed by Ji Chen."

"What about the remnants outside, have they been cleaned up too?"

Jiang Zuozhi stroked the minister's order in his hand, and said slowly.

"Clean up everything, and make sure there is no insider."

Jiang Zuozhi was silent for a while, and then said: "Tell me, before Zhao Wuji died, would he say something nonsense?"

"Whether he said it or not, my lord has already made a choice, and you have no way out."

Jiang Zuozhi sighed, "One cannot be greedy. Once one step is taken, there is no turning back."

The master Bo said: "Isn't being an official just to make money, otherwise you would still be an official. A person's life is nothing but lust for money, power, and lust. There is no official in this world who is not corrupt. Everyone is greedy. We are just unlucky." That's all."

"I have notified all the merchants to raise prices uniformly according to your instructions, and now public resentment has aroused. I also found some down-and-out scholars and storytellers, and asked them to spread the news among the people, saying that the rise in prices was due to Ji Chen's abuse. The killing of innocents is a cause of panic."

"Now that the people's emotions have been incited, as long as the threat of the demons in Heifengzhai is spread, it will cause greater panic, and let those scholars and scholars criticize Ji Chen, saying that he does not do human affairs, and that he will let the demons not be killed. For the innocent Zhao family, let’s cleanse the Zhao family and shape it into a great benevolent person. The blame can be firmly pinned on Ji Chen, and he can’t shake it off even if he wants to. Anyway, the Zhao family is completely destroyed, and there is no proof of death.”

"Officialdom, power and strategy, how can a young boy understand it, black and white, who can tell clearly. Water can carry a boat or capsize it. Public opinion is the greatest weapon. Use it well. But to overthrow a dynasty, doesn't Ji Chen like to cut through messes quickly, so let's show him what the knife of public opinion is. In Qinghe County, it's up to you, sir. If you say he is black, he is Black, if you say he is white, he is white."

Jiang Zuozhi didn't make a sound, just stroked the token lightly, and asked after a while, "Have the Guangling Sword Sect informed?"

"Notice, Guangling Sword Sect has sent people here. Ji Chen killed their people. If they want revenge, they can only do it before Ji Chen returns to Liangzhou City."

Jiang Zuozhi nodded slightly. Once Ji Chen died, someone will take the blame. Now that the Qinghe County affairs have been explained, he can get out of it.

Everything is in his calculations.

As time went by, prices got higher and higher, and public grievances intensified. There were even riots of beating, vandalism, and looting, which have triggered several bloody cases.

Some people even called for going to Liangzhou City to file a complaint.

Things are developing in an uncontrollable direction, the people's emotions are getting more and more excited, and under the control of an invisible force, they start to parade in the streets and make trouble.

"Where is Ji Chen, get out and die!"

"Ji Motou, get out and give an explanation!"

"Murderer Ji Chen, get out and punish and apologize."

"Avenge Fairy Guangling and kill the big devil Jichen."

"Demon Jichen, come out and die!"

A few voices sounded from the crowd from time to time, inciting everyone's emotions.

A mighty 600 people, from the south of the city to the north of the city, have already paraded to the main street in the north of the city, Qingshui Street.The original five or six hundred people have grown to eight or nine hundred.

People have a herd mentality, thinking that the law does not blame the crowd.

The mighty crowd was wandering on the street, clamoring, some were holding hoes, some were holding sickles, their momentum was huge, as if they were going to rebel.

In the crowd, several sharp voices shouted.

"The one with the surname Ji has a species!"

"That is, don't hide like a tortoise, and take care of what you do yourself."

"Get out and give me an explanation!"

Such a battle gave Xing Gaoxi a headache. He stood on the street and stopped the parade team.

These are ordinary people, and they cannot be suppressed by force. Once force is used, it will arouse stronger resistance, further intensify conflicts, and eventually lead to civil uprisings. This kind of consequence is not something he can bear.

"Listen to me, everyone, be calm, I will definitely give an explanation on this matter, and I will let the price calm down as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted in the crowd: "Let Ji Chen get out, we are looking for Ji Chen."

"That is, he was the one who killed innocent people indiscriminately, murdered and set fire, let him get out and give an explanation."

"Big devil Jichen, don't hide like a tortoise, get out and give an explanation."

"I must get out, commit suicide and apologize, and comfort the dead souls of the Zhao family."

There was a lot of chatter in the crowd, and Xing Gaoxi could clearly see that someone was deliberately provoking, but there were too many people, and he couldn't find out who it was.

Seeing that the public anger is getting more and more agitated, Xing Gaoxi can continue to persuade: "Everyone must believe in me, someone is instigating this matter, don't be fooled, and someone will block the gun. Give me a day, and I will definitely find out the troublemaker. Let’s talk about it together.”

"Bah, I believe that even a dog will not trust you dog officials. You dog officials are all officials and officials protecting each other and protecting each other."

"That's right, dog officer, you are talking nonsense and trying to deceive us. You'd better let Ji Chen get out, or you will be killed together."

In the middle section of Qingshui Street, a set of courtyard houses is located here. This is the home of Ding You, the patrolling officer.

At this moment, Ji Chen and the other heads are living in Ding You's house.

Ji Chen and Ding You can get together because they are similar in age and personality. Ding You admired Ji Chen's series of actions in Qinghe County.

He has already regarded Ji Chen as a role model.

And Ji Chen also intends to support Ding You. Xing Gaoxi's choice cannot be said to be wrong. From his own point of view, it is understandable, but he forgot that he is the chief arrester of Qinghe County, responsible for the county's security.

In the past few days, Ji Chen has been checking about the Taixuan Jing and the Nine Ways of Jiemo in the Ding Mansion, as well as being familiar with the supernatural power of invisibility.

Ji Chen could hear the sudden sound outside. Although he didn't say anything, Ding You could feel the murderous intent in Ji Chen's eyes.

Conversing black and white, talking nonsense, framing the blame, diverting eyes, and muddying the water.

This is a means to penetrate the officialdom, and you don't need to guess that it is Jiang Zuozhi's means.

It's almost time, it's time to close the net, Ji Chen got up, picked up the knife next to him, and walked outside.

"Don't go out!"

The fourth master hurriedly stopped.

"The crowd is raging outside now. If you go out, it will make them even more angry. Those are ordinary people, and they cannot be beaten or caught. Once you suppress it by force, you will fall into the trap of the dark people. Now you go out and you are covered in mouths." I can't tell. Let's hide first!"

"Why should I hide? Why should I explain clearly? There are some things that cannot be avoided. Didn't they yell for me to go out and give an explanation? I'll go out and give them an explanation."

"You have to remember that the people are the people, and the thieves are the thieves. The law of the Great Xia, the name of the weapon is the rebellion. For the rebels, there is no need to give an explanation, just use a knife."

"Don't argue with idiots. Don't say that I am a commoner. If I don't know the law, I can run amok. The knife is the best reason."
