Chapter 20: Zhang Dalian's Sad Day(2/2)
"I'm a very open-minded person, so why not just call everyone together to discuss it."
"Whatever the result of the public trial is, that's what it is. I believe everyone will be convinced."
Zhang Heng said this and ordered Xiao Kui: "Invite all the respected elders and squires in the town."
The housekeeper became anxious when he heard this: "Clan Chief Zhang, please be merciful, you are trying to kill my master!"
Respected elders, who are they? They are all old men in their sixties, seventies, or eighties.
Zhang Heng keeps talking about democracy, but do these people in their 70s and 80s believe in democracy?
There are also country squires. Who are country squires? They are all rich and powerful people.
Master Tan's family owns thousands of acres of fertile land and many shops, and is in competition with these people.
If Mr. Tan is drowned in a pond, can the Tan family still stay in the town?
In other words, these people can buy the Tan family's property at a low price. How will they choose?
"Shut your mouth, do you have a role to speak here?"
Hearing that the housekeeper of Tan Mansion dared to question Zhang Heng, two militia soldiers came up and kicked him to his knees.
The housekeeper was so aggrieved that he wanted to leave it alone, but he and Mr. Tan were a grasshopper on the same rope. If Mr. Tan failed, his wealth would be gone: "Patriarch Zhang, please be merciful, we are willing to pay, one hundred, no,
A thousand oceans, our Tan family is willing to pay a thousand oceans."
The corners of Zhang Heng's mouth twitched slightly.
