Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 177 Zhao Ang's Dilemma

King Mi Dang acted quickly.

He also knew that Xing Daorong could not stay here for long and wanted to deal with the matter as soon as possible.

If one commits a crime himself, the efficiency of reporting it is extremely high.

Soon...E He Shaoge was detained because of the issue of buying horses and grain.

After the first step was completed, it was King Midang's turn to take action. Upon hearing the news, he immediately led the Qiang people to find trouble with Zhao Ang.

...

Zhao Ang did feel a little troubled.

As the first brave warrior of the Qiang tribe, E He Shao Ge is naturally famous. Capturing him would easily cause a huge reaction among the Qiang tribe.

However, there is solid evidence that he bought horses and grain, and if we do not take action, it would be abuse of power and pervert the law.

It would be impossible for Zhao Ang not to arrest the person, but after arresting the person, he found that it was even worse.

at the moment…

It’s really a headache.

"Wei Zhang... Since we are in such a dilemma, why not let the Qiang man go?"

"Yes! Those Qiang people don't know the rules, why bother with them?"

In the prefect's mansion, Liang Kuan and Zhao Qu were persuading Zhao Ang.

To be honest, buying a horse and some food was not a big problem in the eyes of the two of them.

The person just bought it, didn't steal or rob, so it's hard to say how big a mistake he made.

This issue…

The governor was indeed too serious.

Unfortunately, even the advice of his two good friends did not change Zhao Ang's mind.

But he said: "The King of Wei has ordered that horses and military rations cannot be purchased privately. The Qiang people have committed a crime and should not be forgiven lightly."

Beside him, a woman in purple clothes with deep eyes looked at Zhao Ang with some concern and said, "Husband... the Qiang people are a little different after all. Now there are Qiang people coming to cause trouble. It's not good to keep them in our hands."

Liang Kuan immediately agreed, "Madam, you are right. I heard that guy is the best warrior of the Qiang tribe. It is not good to take this too far."

"Now that the Qiang King is here to ask for someone, we must give him an explanation."

Zhao Ang said, "Where is the king? I will go and talk to him."

Liang Kuan said: "They are outside the mansion, and they have gathered hundreds of people to come and ask for the person."

Zhao Ang frowned and said, "Humph...you come to force me...how can I surrender?"

"Look, I'm going to meet him!"

Zhao Ang spoke confidently, but others were very worried.

I feel that this matter is difficult to handle and it is likely to make me look bad.

But seeing that Zhao Ang had already rushed out, he had no choice but to hurry up and help him to avoid any accidents.

...

But when Zhao Ang left the house, he saw a group of Qiang people shouting to release the prisoners.

The first person Zhao Ang recognized was the Qiang leader, King Midang.

Zhao Ang knew it was not good to be too strong, so his previously righteous face softened a bit.

But he asked, "May I ask why you are here, Your Majesty?"

Mi Dang was naturally furious.

With his eyes wide open, he cursed, “Zhao Ang, you captured my people, why are you still asking questions?”

"I will never take your people without reason. Do you know the reason?" Zhao Ang was naturally not pretending to be a king, and while he was speaking... he felt very confident.

Mi Dang snorted coldly and said, "Of course I have inquired about it. I spent money to buy some things, but they were taken away by the prefect Zhao."

"Humph... We just followed the rules, but you, the governor, said we had committed a crime!"

"But they only bully us Qiang people!"

As soon as King Midang finished speaking, the hundreds of Qiang people around him drew their swords.

Zhao Ang was startled, and before he could say anything, his wife Wang Yi beside him reacted quickly and shouted, "Protect the governor!" Immediately, the soldiers gathered around him and drew their swords.

For a moment, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

This was not what Zhao Ang wanted. He also knew that the Qiang people needed to be appeased now.

A crime is a crime, and appeasement is appeasement. One thing is one thing, this is what Zhao Ang thought.

But is there anything in this world that is only black and white?
King Midang immediately said in a yin-yang way: "Put away your weapons, and don't let the governor Zhao accuse us of any crime again."

"After all, if you spend money to buy something, you might get arrested, so you should all be careful."

This statement caused another commotion.

The Qiang people shouted: "Release them! Release them!"

Zhao Ang saw this and hurriedly explained: "There is nothing wrong with buying and selling, but the horses...food...were all prohibited. This is what your people did."

Upon hearing this, King Midang burst into laughter.

"Who knows these rules of you Han people?"

"We know that we can spend money on things, but we don't know that there are things we can't buy... and things we can't buy..."

"Besides... who knows if you guys really have this rule, or if you're just trying to make things difficult for us..."

Zhao Ang did not want to embarrass the Qiang people, so he comforted them: "These are all decrees that have long been in place. If Your Majesty is interested, I can tell you in detail."

King Midang came here with a mission and he definitely won’t listen to Zhao Ang’s explanation!
He just sneered and said, "Okay! If the governor Zhao doesn't release them, and makes me lose face in front of my clansmen, then I won't be able to control them."

After saying that, he turned around and looked as if he didn't care about anything.

So the Qiang people who had just stopped suddenly drew their swords again, looking as if they were ready to fight at any time.

If it were someone more tactful, maybe if he saw that the situation was not good, he would say a few nice words, but Zhao Ang was extremely stubborn and would not fall for it.

But he cried out: "Threat... can threatening me break the law?"

"There is no need to say more about this matter. Mo has already investigated it clearly. I will enforce the law impartially as to how to deal with it."

Mi Dang got even more angry when he heard this: "Great! What a fair and impartial law enforcement!"

"I will think about what the result will be if Governor Zhao enforces the law impartially!"

After saying this, he left with his people without saying another word.

When others saw King Midang leave, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

No matter how tense the situation was, at least there was no fighting.

But even though I felt relieved, I didn't dare to relax too much.

This matter is obviously not over yet...

Sure enough, as soon as King Midang returned, he completely fell out with Zhao Ang.

He gathered 20,000 members of the tribe and protested in various places.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there are condemnations from all over the country.

In every city, they walked the streets holding wooden signs with words such as "Release the people" and "Wronged" written on them.

This idea was naturally thought up by Xing Daorong.

procession…

This approach can easily cause panic among officials.

Especially when demonstrations broke out in multiple places at the same time, it was even more disturbing.

In fact... Zhao Ang's stubbornness has nothing to do with others. After all, he has to enforce the law impartially, so there is no problem with that.

But now the Qiang people are obviously annoyed, so something is wrong.

If this continues, it will definitely force people to rebel!
Rebellion is one thing, forcing people to rebel... is another.

So advice from all over the place came to Zhao Ang like snowflakes.

First, he reported the situation in his county, and second, he asked Zhao Ang to release the people so as not to force the Qiang people to cause trouble.

only…

In the eyes of the stubborn Zhao Ang, the more this happened, the more he could not surrender.
