Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 188 The Common People Sue the Ninth Prince
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Outside the Dali Temple, a middle-aged man named Wu Daniu, wearing coarse linen clothes, was beating the drum of grievances with a sad face.

There are two stretchers behind.

A middle-aged woman with a sallow complexion was lying on it, and there was a stench of excrement and urine, and those who smelled it from a distance couldn't help covering their mouths and noses.

On the other was a pale, weakly breathing little girl about eleven or twelve years old. She looked so pitiful that everyone who saw it couldn't help feeling pity.

Wu Daniu cried while beating the drum.

"You are wronged! Xiaomin, you are wronged!"

"Xiaomin bought the small tribute salt from His Royal Highness Ninth Prince. He wanted to improve his life. Who would have thought that my wife and baby would have diarrhea and nearly lose their lives after eating it!"

"Fortunately, the little old man came home a little late. If he ate the small tribute salt like them, he might end up in the same way!"

"The Ninth Prince is a prince, how can he do such a wicked thing? The little old man is really wronged, and I ask the elder to be the master!"

Now none of the officials from Dali Temple came. This man clearly told the people on the street. Many people stopped when they heard about it.

"Is there something wrong with the small tribute salt? No way, my family bought it too. Isn't there nothing wrong with it?"

"Isn't it? My family has eaten something. Besides, how could His Highness the Ninth Prince do such a thing?"

"His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince loves the people like a son, and has never cheated ordinary people's money. I don't believe he would do such a thing!"

……

Because Li Changfeng's reputation is very good, most people don't believe this kind of thing, and they all expressed doubts about Wu Daniu's words.

But soon some strange faces appeared in the crowd, all with aggrieved expressions.

"He is a small commoner, who has eaten the heart of a bear and dared to frame the prince of the dynasty? There must be something wrong with the salt!"

"That's right, the Wang family's coarse salt has been sold at that price for so many years, and the price of refined salt of such good quality as the Ninth Prince's has suddenly dropped so much, how could it not be tricky?"

"Salt is something that everyone eats. With such a large amount, how can the Ninth Prince make a loss-making business? It's no wonder there is no problem!"

"Besides, now that the sales of small tribute salt are so large, it is not impossible for one or two batches of them to have problems!"

I have to say that the words of these people are very reasonable at first glance. Many people do not have the ability to distinguish between true and false, and they lead the rhythm.

"It's not impossible!"

"The price cut this time is indeed too harsh. You must know that Xiao Gongyan was a precious thing that only rich and powerful men could afford!"

"Hey, I never thought His Royal Highness Ninth Prince would do such a thing!"

……

During the conversation, someone brought a patient who looked like salt poisoning to Dali Temple to beat drums and complain. They all said that it was caused by eating small tribute salt.

With the Wang family's deliberate efforts to fuel the flames, this matter soon spread throughout the capital, and many people who did not know the truth began to accuse Li Changfeng of being greedy for profit.

When it came to Li Changfeng, the most favored Ninth Prince, Dali Temple Minister did not dare to make a decision lightly, and immediately sent someone to report the matter to the palace and Li Changfeng.

After Li Changfeng got the news, he was not surprised at all.

As the Wang family of the Eight Great Aristocratic Families, it would be strange if they just swallowed this breath.

He still should eat and drink, and he didn't mean to be in a hurry.

If Emperor Ganwu couldn't settle such a small matter, he wouldn't have to be the emperor anymore.

the other side.

Emperor Qianwu was also not surprised when he got the news.

He is just one word.

"check!"

Gao Dali nodded, and immediately mobilized all the power of the East Factory, and with the cooperation of the six doors, launched an investigation with the force of a thunderbolt.

Soon, the three generations of these people's grandparents and grandchildren were all found out by Gao Dali. How they framed them was also found out.

But when the clue pointed to the Wang family, it was cut off.

Gao Dali didn't care, and immediately reported the investigation results to Emperor Qianwu. Emperor Qianwu said indifferently: "Pull it to Caishikou, bring relevant witnesses, and have a public trial."

Gao Dali understood the meaning of Emperor Ganwu, which meant to rectify the name of Xiaogong Salt and wash away Li Changfeng's tampering with Xiaogong Salt merchants.

He immediately sent people to beat gongs and drums on the streets of the capital, saying that there would be a public trial at Caishikou tomorrow, and give everyone an explanation.

At the same time, he sent a large number of experts to isolate and protect the plaintiff and related witnesses.

When the prince is involved, there will be a public trial. This is a big event, and everyone became very interested after hearing about it.

The dignitaries and ministers in the capital understand that the contest between the royal family and the royal family has officially kicked off, and they are all very curious.

Even Li Changfeng became interested after learning about this.

"Public trial? I didn't expect the father to come up with such a method. It's really interesting. As the defendant, how can I do it if I don't go?"

Li Changfeng laughed and decided to go in person.

The next day.

Before the people from Dali Temple came, Caishikou was already crowded with people, including civilians and high-ranking officials, and the site that had been built in advance was completely blocked.

People communicate in groups of three or five.

"I didn't expect that His Majesty would want a public trial!"

"Yeah, this time the incident is a bit big!"

"It is said that there is something wrong with the small tribute salt of His Highness the Ninth Prince. It is said that there are noses and eyes. Why is there nothing wrong with the people I know who eat small tribute salt?"

"Maybe it's a coincidence. Where there is no wind, there are no waves. Maybe there is something wrong with the little tribute salt of His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince!"

"Impossible, I don't believe His Highness Ninth Prince is such a person!"

"The facts are in front of you, what is impossible?"

Almost half of the people do not believe Li Changfeng, which shows that the Wang family has put in a lot of effort to create this public opinion disturbance.

Soon, officials from Dali Temple came.

Surprisingly, besides the plaintiff, hundreds of people came to the trial site under the guard of the Dali Temple yamen servants.

Everyone was very surprised.

Why so many people?

What do these people do?

Under the suspicious eyes of everyone, Dali Siqing sat firmly on the high hall, slapped the gavel, and shouted: "Bring the plaintiff!"

Soon, Wu Daniu, who was pale and frightened, was brought to the front, and quickly knelt down on the ground to pay homage and said, "My lord, you have to make decisions for the little people!"

Dali Siqing had not had time to speak in the future, a voice full of anger came from a distance.

"How can Dali Temple handle the case without a defendant? His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is here!"

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw Li Changfeng walking over steadily, under the protection of Zhang Haihui and other experts.
