"What!"
His originally calm and silent expression suddenly changed, and he turned around and grabbed the collar of the servant in the mansion.
"Explain to me what exactly happened."
The servant looked nervous, gathered his thoughts, and said tremblingly, "Clan leader, less than a quarter of an hour after you took people to the Yamen, a group of unidentified men in black appeared out of thin air in the mansion. The guards in the mansion were no match at all. They were all knocked down when they met. land."
"These men in black rushed straight into the rooms in the mansion, looking for something. Not long after, a group of unidentified soldiers surrounded the mansion outside the mansion. Cooperating with these men in black, they rushed into the mansion and began to rummage through boxes and cabinets, and ransacked them. "
"The younger one was released by them to deliver a message to you, the clan leader."
Hearing this, the veins on Shen Shen's forehead popped out. He slapped the servant to the ground and cursed, "Useless trash."
Then he turned his head, looked at Wu Chuan angrily, and said angrily, "Mr. Wu, what do you mean? You sent troops to raid my Shen family. You are going too far!"
"I, the Shen family, are not criminals. If you let my house be searched, aren't you afraid of losing your head?"
Silence was really angry this time. No one else would be able to stay so calm.
Fortunately, as soon as they left the house, their home was ransacked. It would be a disaster if they could remain calm.
Wuchuan looked very calm during the silent questioning, and he said coldly.
"Clan Chief Shen, please speak with evidence and don't bite anyone. Although I want to punish your Shen family, it is impossible to use county soldiers to raid the Shen family. Use your brain before speaking."
Although Wuchuan's words were unpleasant, they somewhat awakened the silence.
Indeed, when he first learned the news, he immediately concluded that Wuchuan must be the one who took action. There was no one else who could mobilize soldiers in Hanzhong County except him.
Therefore, Wuchuan was subconsciously identified as the person who took action.
But in the courtroom, this time, he missed one person, Su Qi'an, who was sitting next to Wuchuan with a smile and very calmness.
In terms of ability, this man's energy is countless times greater than that of Wuchuan, and he is the only one who dares to raid the family.
Shen Mo's face was gloomy and he said coldly, "Master Marquis, those unidentified soldiers and men in black are your people, right?"
"Haha, yes, they are indeed my people, and I asked them to do it."
Su Qi'an silently questioned, instead of refuting, he readily admitted it.
Seeing this scene, the corner of Mo Shen's mouth twitched. He clenched his hands and stared at Su Qian coldly with raging eyes.
"Master Marquis, if you do this, you won't be afraid of losing your status! Are you going to bear the consequences?"
Su Qi'an crossed his hands, pondered for a while, and then said, "Well, Patriarch Shen is right. Without any evidence, he rashly attacked a family and searched the mansion. This is indeed a serious crime."
"Especially because we are dealing with the Shen family, which has the highest reputation in the local area. It is very likely that this move will make it difficult for me to get out of Hanzhong County."
"But if you give me a chance to come back, I won't regret it."
Su Qi'an's kind eyes looked directly at Silence. The atmosphere around the two of them suddenly dropped to freezing point, as if a big war was about to break out.
He nodded silently, with a cold look in his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Okay, since Mr. Hou is mentally prepared, Shen will give Mr. Hou a hand and see how far this surging public opinion will go. .”
After finishing his words, he turned around in silence, his cold expression instantly replaced by a hint of innocence. He bowed his hands to the people behind him, and the next moment, he began his eloquent performance.
I have to say that Silent Performance, even in the era of Su Qi'an's previous life, he was still an outstanding actor.
The emotional cry made even Su Qi'an feel sympathetic.
Not to mention, the emotions of these ordinary people who had finally calmed down were once again ignited, plus those few people who secretly fueled the flames.
The continuous gathering of public opinion is like a huge wave that is about to erupt at any time and engulf the entire county.
Some people even looked at Su Qi'an with a bit of hatred.
Being able to suppress Su Qi'an's majesty and turn it into a little hatred, he stood on Shen Mo's side.
Shen Mo's performance skills over the years are truly as good as Shen Chong's.
Feeling the increasingly heated public opinion, Wu Chuan's face was a bit frightened. He came to Su Qi'an and whispered.
"Master Marquis, don't let him say it again. If you let him say it again, the county government may not be able to control it."
Wu Chuan's worries were unreasonable. He had been dealing with the Shen family for many years and knew all too well the eloquence of silence.
Once he is allowed to completely arouse the public opinion of the people, even he will have to retreat temporarily.
Don't look at these common people. They really don't have much ability at ordinary times. They are just the bottom of Great Liang.
But as long as they can come together, the more people the better, and twist them into a rope. The release of that kind of power is enough to overthrow a county, or even a county.
And Silence has the ability to unite the power of Hanzhong County, at least the ordinary people at the bottom.
If this kind of power breaks out, even he, the county guard, can't bear it, let alone Su Qi'an.
He was really worried that as the silence continued like this, the situation would really get out of control.
Su Qian, who was sitting on the chair, looked very calm and nodded.
The next moment, he signaled with both hands, and immediately after, the government officials on both sides rushed up and suppressed Silence.
Su Qi'an's sudden order made Wu Chuan a little confused. What he wanted to convey to Su Qi'an was whether silence could be controlled using non-violent methods.
But Su Qian directly used the simplest and crudest method to control the silence in front of all the people.
This scene undoubtedly adds fuel to the fire and will only make the people outside even more angry.
Sure enough, seeing the silence being controlled, the people watching outside could no longer hold back and began to curse.
"You bastards, let Chief Shen go, otherwise, we will fight you to the death."
The people were very excited, and this was exactly what Shen Mo wanted.
Only by completely igniting the people's anger to stand up for him can he completely gain the upper hand and reverse the situation in the court.
Just when Shen Mo was about to continue his performance and light the fire, Su Qian suddenly stood up and came to his side.
He said softly, "Clan Chief Shen, you have two skills in manipulating public opinion. I have learned a lot today."
"But don't forget, what did I rely on to get started? Don't you just want to add fuel to the fire? Today I want to show you what it means to calm public opinion."
After saying that, Su Qi'an took a few steps forward, looked at the angry people, and said.
"I know that you all can't see Patriarch Shen being bullied. In some respects, you may even think that I, like Tang Feng, have exposed my ambitions, monopolized power, and acted arbitrarily. I will not explain these things."
"Do you still remember the bet between you and me?"
Su Qian's words could not calm the anger of the angry people.
The bet just said that if they wait, Marquis Dongshan will have a surprise for them, but what they are waiting for is not a surprise, but a shock.
To delay time, they directly sent people to raid Shen's house. This approach was no different from that of bandits.
It was okay not to mention the bet, but when it was mentioned, they became even more angry.
Silence, who was unable to move, sneered in his heart. He thought Su Qi'an had some ability to calm him down, but it turned out to be just a bunch of big principles.
And these truths, instead of calming down, intensified the anger in the hearts of the people.
What is the difference between this and being an idiot?
Su Qi'an seemed not to notice the changing atmosphere in the court, and continued.
"I understand your desire to protect Shen Shen's father and son, but if I dare to search the Shen family, I will have the confidence to do so. Don't you want to see surprises? I will let you see enough later."
"If Shen Sheng and his son were wronged, I can not only apologize, but also resign from the court, strip them of their status as marquises, and even go to jail."
Su Qian's words suddenly stunned everyone who had been so angry just now.
They were angry in their hearts, but Su Qi'an was definitely the first person in Xizhou to be able to say that he was deprived of his status as a marquis and dared to go to jail.
Looking at the entire Great Liang, I'm afraid there are only a few.
Even at this time, there were some people in the crowd who were saying that Su Qi'an took the initiative to say these words because of a guilty conscience, just to protect himself and gain their sympathy.
The people watching did not follow the trend. No one dared to gamble with their own future and the power in their hands. No one was a fool.
Even the common people who have been brainwashed by the silence are a little shaken in their hearts.
Although this kind of wavering was not much, it still made everyone angry and gradually calmed them down.
The controlled silence and the disdainful expression just now became a little ugly for a moment.
Su Qi'an dared to bet everything he had, which he didn't expect.
Although he really wanted to see Su Qian defeated and the Shen family's status improved, he knew exactly what the Shen family had done.
If Su Qi'an dared to say this, he must have discovered something.
Silence's eyes flashed, and the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. Only then did he understand why Su Qi'an dared to openly raid his home.
Not only to arouse public anger, but also when public anger reaches its peak, and if there is a reversal, the backlash against him will be huge.
That kind of anger can't even be imagined in silence.
He was indeed a little over the top, wanting too much to step on Su Qi'an and let the Shen family move up a level.
But at the critical moment, he ignored one thing. Why would Su Qi'an take action from the Shen family?
In addition to maximizing public anger and causing backlash, the ransacking of the house was more importantly, he must have discovered something in the Shen family.
As for the so-called confrontation before, it was just to buy time for the confiscation of the house.
After all, from the beginning to the end of the confrontation Su Qi'an mentioned, he failed to mention the two women. He had been fooled by Su Qi'an from the beginning.
Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on Silent's back, and he was about to say something loudly.
The next moment, his mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth by Su Qi'an. Su Qi'an smiled and patted his shoulder with a kind expression.
"Clan Chief Shen, don't be so anxious. When the evidence arrives, Chief Shen will have a good confrontation with the people of Hanzhong."
