Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1316 He is a villain
Above the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, the atmosphere is weird.

Dugufeng's mother and wife seemed determined to describe Qin Tian as an official who shielded the prisoner.

Qin Tian didn't think there was anything wrong with them at first. After all, his son and husband died, so it was normal to come to the governor's mansion to ask for justice.

However, they had already put Hu Shiba in prison, but they immediately questioned whether they were trying to cover up the prisoner, which was a bit strange.

If he hadn't imprisoned Hu Shiba, then they said that they shielded the prisoner, which is justified and understandable, but he was imprisoned, and they still said that about himself, Qin Tian felt that there was a problem, and at the same time he felt that he was very serious. Wronged.

Thinking that Dugu Peak belonged to Lord Long, and that the chaos in Jinling City was caused by Lord Long, Qin Tian felt that he should understand something.

All of this is probably Master Long's conspiracy.

Looking at the two women in the hall who were screaming hoarsely, Qin Tian suddenly lost his patience.

"That's enough. I said that after the investigation of this case is clear, I will definitely still complain about my credit. Now that I haven't figured out the case, why do you say that I am protecting the criminal?"

With tears in her eyes, Chen said: "Hu Shiba killed my husband on the spot, what's not clear about it, my lord refuses to sentence Hu Shiba to death because he is protecting him."

"Even so, I still need witnesses and physical evidence. I can only rely on the words of the two of you. When I find all these, I will make a judgment. If you continue to make trouble like this, don't blame me for being rude."

As he spoke, Qin Tian waved his hand and shouted, "Leave the hall."

After retiring, Qin Tian turned around and left. Now the people of Jinling City are quite complaining about the government, and they are afraid that they will not be used to him for adjudicating cases like this.

But in the current situation, he can only do so.

And that's exactly what happened.

Right after the retreat, the news quickly spread in Jinling City.

"What, Mr. Qin is covering up the prisoner?"

"That's right, Hu Shiba killed someone, but just because Hu Shiba was his subordinate, Qin Tian refused to sentence him to death. Do you think such an official can be Qingtian?"

"That's right, that's right, Master Qin, thanks to my trust in him, I never thought he would be such a person."

"........."

Qin Tian did a lot of good things for the people before, but even so, as long as he did something unfair, everyone would still have opinions on him.

This is true of people.

The voices of the common people were very loud, and the complaints against Qin Tian gradually increased.

Of course, the reason for the complaints is also related to the current chaos in Jinling City. Many people's lives have become more difficult, and their lives are not as good as before. Then they must complain about the culprit that caused this situation.

While the people were talking like this, Qin Tian was also thinking of ways to solve these problems at the Governor's Mansion.

"Hu Shiba's case is very difficult. Do you have any good solutions?"

Even if Hu Shiba really killed someone, then Qin Tian would still protect him. What needs to be done now is how to protect him so that the impact can be minimized.

If there is really nothing he can do, then he can only be a rogue, that is, to save Hu Shiba.

Everyone looked at each other, Luo Huang stood up and said: "My lord, Hu Shiba's case was watched by so many people at the time, it would not be easy to overturn the case, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless the Dugu Feng who was killed by Hu Shiba deserves to die, if we can find evidence that Dugu Feng deserves to die, then there is no problem with Hu Shiba's murder. At most, one of them will be sentenced to overkill."

When an innocent person is killed, everyone will feel wronged, but if a heinous person is killed, everyone will only applaud.

If Dugufeng really deserved to die, then if Hu Shiba killed him, it wouldn't be unacceptable.

After Luo Huang finished speaking, Qin Tian finally relaxed a little.

"Luo Huang is right, this is probably the best way to save Hu Shiba."

As he said that, Qin Tian hurriedly ordered: "Luo Huang, go down and arrange for me to have someone investigate Dugu Peak's situation and see if he has committed any crimes. Also, his wife, Let me investigate too, I will do both."

Luo Huang nodded and took the order: "Young Master, don't worry, I'll go down and make arrangements."

Luo Huang retreated, and Qin Tian suddenly had a flash of inspiration, but he remembered something again.

"Qin Wu, take someone to investigate those grain merchants who raise prices. If they commit crimes, arrest them immediately. All their grain will be confiscated."

Because Master Long controls the grain business in Jinling City, other merchants dare not do this, so the grain transported by Shen Bijun alone is obviously not enough, and it is also too slow.

If he could seal up and confiscate the shops of those grain merchants, wouldn't Jinling City have a lot more grain all of a sudden?
He knew very well that the reason why the price of grain rose was because these grain merchants hoarded the goods and did not sell them. If other grains were also brought out, the price would naturally fall.

No matter how man-made things are, they cannot resist the laws of economy.

After Qin Tian ordered to go down, Qin Wu immediately launched an investigation.

Those grains are controlled by Master Long, but it is not difficult to investigate their situation.

Soon, Qin Wu investigated a grain merchant.

"Young Master, Chen Daxing, the owner of the Daxing Grain Shop in the south of the city, is a bad person. We found out that he often bullies other people, and he is also very greedy and lustful. He once wanted to use money to buy a concubine's room, but in the end, the concubine's room was taken away." After he made fun of it, he swallowed the money, he didn't mean to give it at all, the concubine's family came to ask for money, and he even beat him up..."

Qin Wu told about some of Chen Daxing's actions. After Qin Tian heard it, his eyebrows froze. This Chen Daxing had a murder case in his hand, and he was also a very vitriolic person.

The most important thing is that there is a lot of grain in his Daxing Grain Shop. As long as he can get these grains, he can alleviate the urgent need of Jinling City.

After hearing what Qin Wu had said, Qin Tian suddenly became excited, and said, "Do you have evidence for those things about him?"

"Naturally there are."

Qin Tian is still at ease when Qin Wu does things. Although he is not as resourceful as Luo Huang, and his military strength is not as good as Hu Shiba, but his abilities are equal, and he can still arrange some important tasks.

So, after learning that the evidence was convincing, Qin Tian nodded: "Okay, you take people to seal up Chen Daxing's grain store, and then distribute all the grain to the people."

"Distribute... to the people?" Qin Wu was a little puzzled. After the seizure, shouldn't the grains enter the market and be sold to the people? How could it be divided?
"Just do what I say."
