Chapter 25 Contest
Just after the thieves stole the gold and the women's underwear at night, Zhao Wanjun waited three full days before issuing the notice.
This is to give those behind the scenes time to touch the gold.
The announcement is as follows:
'Recently, a batch of gold was stolen from the Zhao family's residence. Before being transported to the Zhao family, this batch of gold was accidentally contaminated with some kind of slow-acting and deadly poison.
Now, with the thief stealing, the gold may flow into the market.
To eliminate safety hazards, anyone who has recently come into contact with any gold is requested to go to the government office for examination and receive the antidote as soon as possible.
People who have not yet come into contact with gold, please do not panic, this poison can only be transmitted through close contact with gold.
In order to avoid an increase in the number of poisoned people and a resulting shortage of antidote in the government office, please do not touch the recently obtained gold without permission for a short period of time.
To avoid misjudgment, please ask those who have come into contact with gold to come in person to collect the medicine.
The rules for the government to distribute antidotes are as follows:
If someone is sent to get it, the government will refuse to issue the antidote.
The government will not be responsible if the poison is not detoxified before it takes effect.
Those who come to collect the antidote are requested to take with them all the gold they come into contact with.
Otherwise, if it affects the government's judgment of the poisoning situation and causes the antidote to be unable to clear the toxin, the government will not be responsible.
All rights of interpretation belong to the Qian Kingdom's capital government.'
This official notice was naturally written by Zhao Wanjun under the instruction of Li Yuan.
At that time, Zhao Wanjun even doubted whether Li Yuan was a professional civil servant in the past.
Li Yuan said: Don’t be too basic.
In his original world, even an elementary school student could write a notice like this.
But in this ancient alien world, it is a bit shocking.
As soon as the notice was issued, Li Yuan and Zhao Wanjun crossed their legs and sat in the yamen, waiting for the relevant person to come to them.
Gold in the capital has been stolen frequently, and its market value has been secretly increased a lot, making it basically impossible for ordinary people to get their hands on gold.
The gold was all poisonous, and those who brought the poisonous gold to ask for an antidote were more or less related to the matter of the flying thief.
If someone is afraid of being exposed and does not come to ask for medicine, Zhao Wanjun will not care even if he dies.
At most, report it to the Emperor of Qian.
Those who are not afraid of death are even less likely to arouse the emperor's curiosity and investigate the matter, so as to avoid implicating their relatives and descendants.
There was some unrest in the capital.
The name of Zhao Si Ya was very prestigious in the capital, and immediately many common people rushed to the yamen to watch.
They don’t have gold, but they can eat melons!
A group of people blocked the government office, but they were not trying to cause trouble.
In secret.
A group of people gathered together to investigate the poisoning.
"This damn Zhao Wanjun actually smeared poison on gold?!"
"Why haven't I seen her use such cruel means before? Damn it!"
Someone made a sound of surprise.
"Isn't she afraid that those unruly people might get their hands on the gold?"
"The guy who came up with this idea must have a very evil heart!"
"Not human at all!"
There were curses being chanted, very viciously.
"Since it's a vicious plan, then I'll do as you wish!"
"Do you think that those unruly people won't get involved in this matter if they can't get their hands on the gold?"
"Humph, what a pity, money can move people's hearts!"
"I'm going to give away that gold to disgust you!"
"Let's see how you deal with those unruly people!"
Someone is plotting viciously.
-
soon.
A group of people came outside the yamen.
These people all said that they were poisoned. Some brought gold that they had touched, while others came empty-handed.
They gathered outside the yamen and started making a lot of noise.
This is different from just watching and eating spectators.
"Zhao Si Ya, where is Zhao Si Ya?"
"We accidentally touched the gold. Didn't the government say they would give us an antidote? Hurry up and give it to us!"
"If the poison takes effect and someone dies, will it be considered the government's responsibility?"
The people outside started shouting.
If it weren't for the jailers' obstruction, and if Zhao Wanjun had not had great prestige, these troublemakers would have rushed in long ago.
Of course, they did not dare to rush into the government office. In fact, what they feared most was being charged with the crime of gathering a crowd to rebel.
No matter how much trouble you make, why not rush into the government office to seek an explanation?
These ordinary people don’t dare to do that.
Just like in today’s world, if you dare to rush into a police station and smash things, who is crazy enough to do that?
Are you looking for death and bringing harm to your relatives and descendants?
More and more people gathered, and finally even alarmed the city government.
In the lobby of the government office.
The inner room of Zhaosi Yamen.
Zhao Wanjun paced back and forth anxiously.
"Those behind the scenes actually took advantage of the people, spread gold, induced the people to be poisoned, and then came to the government office to get the antidote..."
"What should I do?"
She was a little anxious because the city government had just scolded her.
She was ordered that if she could not come up with a solution within three days, she would have to detoxify the people first.
Li Yuan sat aside, scratching his chin, as if thinking about something.
The yamen runners came to report that more and more people were coming to "receive the antidote".
Zhao Wanjun was extremely worried and asked Li Yuan:
"The other party is using their own tricks to force the people to put pressure on us. Do you have any solution?"
"I'm almost dying of anxiety!"
Li Yuan glanced at her:
"What's the use of being anxious? The other side is more vicious than us and is just waiting for us to compromise."
Zhao Wanjun's eyes widened: "Those are innocent people, at least hundreds of people have been poisoned!"
"If the commotion continues, and the city government can no longer handle it, then people from the imperial city will come!"
"The process will be complicated. If there is a delay, and innocent people really die from the poison, how can you and I feel at ease?"
Listening to the noise outside, Li Yuan was neither hurried nor slow.
"After the announcement, anyone who dares to touch the poisonous gold is not considered an innocent person."
Li Yuan's words were cold, but his expression was relaxed.
"Since the other side is using the common people as the vanguard, why don't we follow their strategy?"
He stretched himself, expression indifferent.
Zhao Wanjun's beautiful eyes narrowed: "What can you do?"
Perhaps Li Yuan's indifference influenced her, and unknowingly, Zhao Wanjun regained a bit of composure.
"Is there enough antidote?"
Li Yuan asked casually.
Zhao Wanjun quickly said, "I made a lot."
"But if we give it out directly, wouldn't that be fulfilling the other party's wish?"
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes:
"You just said that the antidote is limited and there are only about a hundred doses left."
"It takes time to reconfigure the antidote, but the government treats human life equally. For those who seek help, regardless of their status, they will only consider the time of day."
Zhao Wanjun also regained his ability to think:
"Are you going to use the strategy of confusing the enemy? To lure out those people behind the scenes?"
Li Yuan smiled: "What kind of strategy is this to confuse the enemy? The government is only going to issue this little antidote!"
"If a few greedy ghosts don't die, these guys won't learn to cherish their lives!"
Zhao Wanjun was shocked:
"You are killing innocent people!"
Li Yuan actually laughed at Zhao Wanjun's shock.
"You are stupid, I mean those behind the scenes!"
"Those behind the scenes were exposed to poison before the people!"
"If we want to kill people, we have to kill a group of people behind the scenes who are related to the thieves first!"
"Let's rescue these people first and release them in the government office!"
"Then they said that the antidote is limited, with a daily quota, and first come, first served."
"Do you think those behind the scenes are anxious?"
"If the poisoned people really use up all their daily antidotes, who will help them get rid of the poison?"
Li Yuan paused, his expression remained calm.
Then, another key point was revealed:
"There is another consideration for limiting the release of the antidote."
"Those people were blinded by their own greed for a while, but when the toxins slowly show their symptoms, I don't believe they won't regret it!"
"Then, it will be time to get all the information about the people behind the scenes!"
"Moreover, some people who are suffering from the poison will deter other wavering people."
"Prevent them from joining in the fun!"
As he spoke, a hint of amusement appeared on Li Yuan's face again.
"Besides, don't we still have a 'Triple Poisoner'?"
"Unless this person is not afraid of death, otherwise, we don't have to worry about him not coming to find us!"
"We have the first move, so we can sit back and wait and see."
“I don’t even know how to lose!”
There was a gleam in Zhao Wanjun's eyes.
Although Li Yuan's words were full of indifference, they worked!
It depends on them, whether they want gold or their lives!
Zhao Wanjun was no longer in a hurry. He called a few yamen runners, gave them some instructions, and then slumped down in a chair.
The previous anxiety really made her mentally exhausted.
Li Yuan still looked lazy and indifferent.
"You guys are easily bound by your thoughts."
"It's my turn to travel through time... um, cough cough cough."
"When the other party resorts to this kind of tactics, it means that they have no other options."
"That's why they choose to disgust us regardless of the consequences."
"They try to make us anxious and lose our sense of proportion so that they can fish in troubled waters and survive in chaos."
"Once you think along these lines and analyze the situation from the other person's perspective, the way to deal with it will naturally emerge."
"Those behind the scenes are basically all of some status, and they think their lives are more precious than those of ordinary people."
"Once we limit the amount of antidote available, they will jump out immediately."
"At this time, you have to be careful to distinguish the identities and faces of those who come to ask for the antidote."
"As for civilians, if they have a clean background, they will be allowed to leave after being released. If they are officials, hmm..."
"That's the only batch of gold that's contaminated! You're more familiar with interrogation than I am!"
"Also, you can only get the antidote once, not twice."
"When everyone comes, have them register their names. No matter who is poisoned, the antidote can only be given once!"
"If there are greedy people who don't know their limits, they will have to bear the consequences themselves!"
"Originally, this vicious plan was only intended to target the thief's collusion behind the scenes!"
"The greed in the hearts of the people is what's causing them to come and get poisoned. They are willing to risk their lives for money. That's not our fault!"
"After all, the notice was sent out first!"
"Although this plan is vicious, it can completely cleanse the capital!"
Zhao Wanjun listened carefully, thoughtfully.
They always think about things from the perspective of the government.
It is only natural for officials to catch thieves.
Who cares what the thieves are thinking?
It turns out that when faced with a difficult decision, you can actually stand in the other person’s shoes and think about the key to the problem!
The most crucial point in this matter is that those behind the scenes were poisoned first!
Even if the government does not take any action, those behind the scenes will eventually surface helplessly!
Spreading poisoned gold and inciting the people?
Then you will be the ones to die first!
I govern the people in batches.
If you keep hiding, I will ask you...
Do you want your life or not?
