Chapter 2661: Chapter 2661: All of You, Shut Up!
In just a few short years, Dowager Consort Yu and her son have robbed five hundred and thirty-one people in Ying City and its surrounding areas, including three hundred and eighty-six young men and one hundred and forty-five young women.
As for the Prince’s Mansion at this time, there were still two hundred and nineteen men and sixty-four women left, the rest were either dead or crippled, in short, all were victimized.
As for other matters of seizing money and land, they were all overshadowed by the loss of so many lives.
The citizens knew about this, and they all gathered in front of the government office, pleading for Prince Zhan and Prince An Yang to stand up for them, to kill Dowager Consort Yu and the Fifteenth Prince, to seek justice for those who died.
In the Ying City Magistrate Office, the prefect was massaging his forehead with one hand, only feeling the veins on his forehead throbbing.
He truly had not imagined that Dowager Consort Yu and her son could rob so many people and cause the deaths of so many, making his role as prefect extremely difficult.
"Lord, what should we do now? With so many lives lost, if we don’t provide an explanation to the citizens, it will definitely not work." Several other officials gathered around the prefect, persistently asking.
This Dowager Consort Yu and her son were truly audacious, daring to commit such acts, were they not afraid of the sky falling?
And those citizens, weren’t they afraid of dying? Were they not afraid of someone coming to trouble them? After all, Dowager Consort Yu and her son were imperial kinsmen, and the woman’s the Retired Emperor’s consort and son.
The current Emperor’s own brother, could the common people really lodge complaints against them?
"Lord, you must quickly think of a way. If you don’t send someone outside to stabilize the situation, I’m afraid the scene may become uncontrollable, some citizens have already become enraged."
"All of you, shut your mouths!"
The prefect had such a headache, he wished he could pretend to be dead at that moment.
Did he not know the situation was out of control? The matter was not stirred up by him, but by Lord Prince Zhan and Prince An Yang.
Was it impossible for them to seek out those two? Why did they come to him whenever something happened, did he look like someone who would solve their problems?
"You go ask Lord Prince Zhan and Lord Prince An Yang, what should be done now?" he reminded.
Upon hearing his words, the officials fell silent, looking at one another, no one willing to speak.
They did want to ask, knowing this matter couldn’t be resolved even if they sought out the prefect, but those two, were they people who could be met just because they wanted to?
Moreover, under what capacity would they go to meet those two? Even if they were to seek them out, it was the prefect who should go, and they would only follow along.
"Lord, the two princes are not people we can simply meet."
Finally, after a long time, an official over fifty stood out to remind.
"Why not, Lord, you lead us to meet the two princes, and ask them what should be done under such circumstances?" he asked.
Prefect: "..."
Going to see the two princes at this moment was like throwing himself onto a rack over a fire.
He knew, because he had done nothing about Dowager Consort Yu and the Fifteenth Prince’s matter, the two princes already had a strong opinion about him.
Going to gain presence with the two princes now, was he in a hurry to die fast enough?
However, he couldn’t not see the two princes, if he didn’t, wouldn’t it just show again his inaction? Doing so would only make the two princes more dissatisfied with him.
