Chapter 317: Surrender into a move
The people being held captive shrank involuntarily.
Unexpectedly, the Su family had already asked the prefect to arrange people in the crowd.
And he captured them all with great accuracy.
But they also knew that the prefect would not let them off easily.
I can only deny it till death!
Several people gave each other a knowing look.
A man spoke with a pale face.
"Sir, what did you say? What instructions? I don't understand."
The other woman also had tears in her eyes.
"Ouch... it hurts so much... I just heard that the Su family is shameless, and I couldn't help but say a few words, do you want to punish me for this?"
"Could it be possible that our Xiuli City has also become a place where the Su family has the final say?"
The woman's words were so hurtful that some people who didn't understand the situation looked unhappy.
"Your Majesty has granted us freedom of speech, so what's wrong with saying a few words?"
"If she was a decent person, how could there be rumors about her?"
"Mr. Prefect, are you going to protect the Su family in front of the people of Xiuli City? Are you going to disregard etiquette and punish these innocent people who are merely expressing their personal opinions?"
There are some righteous people who are not afraid of the power of the prefect and speak out with righteous words!
When the people who were pinned down saw someone helping them speak up, they began to describe their misery in an even more vivid way.
The man who spoke first changed his expression into one of heartbreak.
"Please spare my life, sir. I have a 60-year-old mother and a young child to feed. My wife died early, and my family relies on the money I earn from hard labor every day to make ends meet!"
"The Su family is extremely powerful. Can't I just stop talking? If you punish me, how will my mother and son live?"
"I apologize to Miss Su! I apologize! Miss Su! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have exposed your true face and made you lose face!"
"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, please ask the master to let me go, let me go!"
He didn't know which one was Su Jiuyue. He heard from that person that Su Jiuyue was a teenage girl.
He looked randomly at Su Jiuyue, Bai Jinyan and the others, not knowing who he was looking at.
He begged for mercy with tears and snot.
The prefect was obviously extremely angry!
Look at this group of people who still refuse to repent and are still using sweet words to flatter people!
"Take them all to the government office! Give them severe punishment!"
"A bunch of street thugs, let's see how much you can take! If you want to protect the mastermind behind this, you better consider your life!"
The prefect looked at these people coldly!
He had already instructed his officers to keep an eye on the ringleader of today's riot.
After being in office for so long, they know for sure whether it was intentional incitement or just speaking out of anger.
The fact that these people were brought up must have been decided long ago, and there is no way they would be wrongly accused.
When they get to the prison in the government office, I don’t believe they won’t open their mouths!
The prefect is confident!
However, the people below had many complaints!
Although most of them didn't dare to speak out to stop it, one could tell from their expressions how much they disapproved.
"It is said that officials and businessmen are one family. Is the prefect trying to protect the Su family in front of us?"
At this moment, a clear female voice rang out among the crowd, like a messenger of justice.
Everyone looked sideways, wanting to see who the heroine was who dared to speak at this time.
The few people who were originally detained by the police almost confessed everything.
Now they seemed to have found their backbone and they all raised their eyes to look!
Seeing that there were still people who dared to shield the troublemakers, the prefect looked into the crowd!
Su Jiuyue, Bai Jinyan and Lin Qingqing looked at each other.
Lin Qingqing mouthed three words.
"Qian-Xin-Yue?"
Su Jiuyue and Bai Jinyan nodded.
It seems they all recognized her voice!
Qian Xinyue was wearing a bright red brocade satin lotus dress.
With delicate makeup, she looks noble and dazzling.
I guess she dressed up nicely before going out.
She enjoyed everyone's gazes on her as if they were a hero.
Walk step by step to the center of the crowd.
"Mr. Prefect, even if you are an official, we are the people. Don't we even have the most basic right to speak?"
"Your Majesty has opened your ears to the world. Could it be that this Xiuli City is the domain of the prefect?"
"These people just said a few truths, what crime have they committed? Your Excellency is forcing them to confess by forcing them to confess? Do you think it's possible to convince them?"
Qian Xinyue argued with the prefect in an orderly manner, looking him straight in the eyes without any fear!
Liu Ruyan looked at the man next to Qian Xinyue, her eyes flashed!
Li gently grasped Liu Ruyan's hand and squeezed it soothingly.
The man was the first one in the crowd to look at Liu Ruyan.
His eyes were focused, with a hint of guilt and helplessness.
Su Jiuyue felt nauseous when seeing this.
Su Jiuyue walked a few steps to the side without leaving a trace, blocking the man's sight.
The man had no choice but to reluctantly avert his gaze and respectfully bowed to the prefect.
"My Lord, this is indeed unreasonable..."
When the prefect saw that the visitors were Miss Qian and Tongzhi Wu, he frowned.
"Miss Qian, I'm reporting this case to the government office. When will it be your turn to make a comment?"
"Tongzhi Wu, you say it's unreasonable? The people here took the lead in inciting the people and trying to cause trouble here. How can it be unreasonable for me to arrest them?"
The prefect was somewhat constrained at this time.
He originally thought that Judge Liu accepted benefits from the Qian family and was suppressing the Su family.
He has been taken into custody, and we just need to investigate thoroughly, report this to the authorities, and bring this man to justice!
But I never expected that another Wu Tongzhi would pop up!
Although these two people are one level lower than him in rank, if they really disagree with him, he can't do whatever he wants!
Especially Wu Tongzhi, who has the Liu family as his backer and has no less say in the government office than himself!
The Liu family's scandal was not made public, so the prefect did not know that Liu Ruyan and Wu Yu had broken up.
The Liu family is also preparing for a divorce.
The prefect looked at Liu Ruyan with some doubt.
Why is your man standing alone with you?
Liu Ruyan understood what he meant and simply ignored him.
"Sir, if these people really incited the riot, they should be dealt with impartially."
"But Miss Qian and I have been standing here for a long time, and we don't think they are deliberately causing trouble. I have also heard the rumors they spread in the past few days."
"Is it just gossip or is it true? It's hard to say, isn't it? How can you be sure that someone is deliberately causing trouble?"
"Could it be that because you are on good terms with the Su family, you are biased towards them? Do you think that any comments that are unfavorable to the Su family are intentional?"
"Sir, if this is the case, I still cannot agree with it."
Wu Yu described the bright and beautiful scene and argued from the perspective of the common people.
This allowed the people, who were already somewhat dissatisfied, to breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that with Wu Tongzhi around, they have become much bolder!
"Well said! Why are you afraid of what others say after you've done it?"
"I told you! What Fenghua? What Su Family? No matter where it is, I will go around it!"
"Mr. Tongzhi is right! If the prefect disregards the law today and tortures us into confessing, we will definitely report it to the capital! We will seek justice for the innocent man!"
