Chapter 136 Witness Guo Zong
When the name Guo Zong was pronounced from Lin Xiangru, the atmosphere in the entire hall changed significantly.
Although he is just a businessman, Guo Zong is a very famous rich man in Handan City, Zhao State and the entire world. How could anyone not know this name?
Zhao Kuo's expression moved slightly and he looked at Miao Xian again.
This time, Miao Xian smiled and nodded to Zhao Kuo.
King Zhao coughed hard a few times before he put his hand down from his mouth and said slowly: "Then call Guo Zong to the palace."
The hall became quiet for a moment, and everyone was thinking about what the relationship between Guo Zong would have to do with this matter.
Zhao Kuo felt something, turned his head and contacted Lin Xiangru's eyes.
Zhao Kuo said slowly: "Lin Qing, you have always been the supremacy of Zhao's interests. Have you changed this time?"
This question changed Lin Xiangru's face, but it immediately returned to normal. He said lightly: "Zhao Qing is joking, I am just seeking justice for Yu Qing."
Zhao Kuo smiled: "Fairness is something that everyone wants, but Lin Qing, ask yourself, is your so-called fairness really fair, or is it just for your own interests to ignore the interests of the entire Da Zhao?"
Lin Xiangru stopped talking.
Lian Po said in a muffled voice: "Zhao Qing, of course no one can compare to you when it comes to the advantage of words. We should wait until the witness Guo Zong goes to the palace before speaking with evidence."
As soon as Lian Po said this, many people also agreed.
Zhao Kuo's eloquence is well known to everyone in the world, and he is even more invincible when talking about military tactics. Otherwise, he would not have specially created a word "talking about war on paper" to ridicule Zhao Kuo, who failed in history.
Guo Zong is here.
Guo Zong’s clothes today are very simple. After all, he is just a merchant. No matter how rich the merchant is, he cannot wear silk clothes that only nobles and scholars can wear in public.
Guo Zong walked up respectfully, knelt on the ground, and saluted to King Zhao: "Guo Zong, a grass-roots man, met the king."
King Zhao looked at Guo Zong as if he was looking at an ant: "Lin Xiangru said, do you have any evidence about Yu Qing's case?"
Guo Zong said: "There are some."
King Zhao nodded and said, "Lin Qing, since it is your witness, then come on."
Lin Xiangru responded and said to Guo Zong: "Guo Zong, I ask you, what is the relationship between you and Zhao Qing?"
Guo Zong said with a very respectful tone: "When it comes to Lin Qing, Guo Zong and Zhao Qing have an intersection mainly because of the ginseng industry.
Guo was responsible for selling ginseng through channels and then distributing dividends to Zhao Qing."
After Guo Zong finished speaking, many people immediately made a "oh" voice.
The ginseng business was run by Guo Zong and was prosperous. This is what everyone knows, but now I know that Zhao Kuo still has the share.
Of course, what Lin Xiangru and Lian Po knew about it long ago was naturally indifferent.
Overall, no one has any opinions.
Who has no secretly had any industry these days?
Since Zhao Kuo has created a ginseng industry, it is normal.
Lin Xiangru also knew this, so he continued to say to Guo Zong: "You continue."
Guo Zong nodded and said respectfully: "Here.
That's right, the main production area of ginseng is Shangdang County, but it has been difficult to collect ginseng some time ago. Many bandits in Shangdang County began to attack ginseng collection teams, causing the ginseng production to drop significantly, and last month was less than 50% of the previous year."
Lin Xiangru said lightly: "So, you and Zhao Qing naturally won't sit still and watch this happen."
Guo Zong said: "That's why Zhao Qing set out to Shangdang after he was appointed as the king's inspector."
Guo Zong's words made the whispers in the hall resurrect.
"It turns out that this is the reason why Zhao Qing went to Shangdang."
"Nonsense, if a certain industry in my family dropped by 50% at once, I can't sit still, and I have to figure out the situation."
"Is this matter related to Yu Qing?"
"Shh..." Many eyes fell on Zhao Kuo, but Zhao Kuo was still very calm and his face did not change at all.
Lin Xiangru continued: "What happened after Zhao Qing went to Shangdang?"
Guo Zong said: "Guo did not follow Zhao Qing to Shangdang, but judging from the news from Zhao Qing, the sharp decline in ginseng production is likely to be related to Yu Qing and the bandits in Shangdang County that have trembled the sky."
There was an uproar in the hall, and many people had a sudden expression on their faces.
"Understood.
Yu Qing died unjustly.”
"That's right, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. If I were me, hey..." "But Zhao Qing's methods are too fierce, right?"
"Zhao Qing was originally known for his decisive decision, and there was nothing strange about it."
Lin Xiangru laughed and said very gently: "Do you think it's Yu Qing and Zhen Potian who are secretly colluding?"
Guo Zong hurriedly said: "Guo is not clear about this matter, he only learned from Zhao Qing's letter."
At this moment, Pingyang Jun suddenly spoke: "Lin Qing, even if he knows the relationship between Zhao Qing and ginseng business, it cannot prove that Zhao Qing is the mastermind behind the killing of Yu Qing."
Lin Xiangru nodded and smiled and said, "Mr. Pingyang is right.
The reason why I asked Guo Zong to say this is just to tell everyone that Zhao Qing did not have the motivation to kill Yu Qing.
I believe everyone knows how expensive the price of ginseng is, 50% of the loss... Not to mention me, I am afraid that no one can sit still, and they will cut the person who caused the loss on the spot.
Everyone, I’m not wrong, right?”
Lin Xiangru's statement has been recognized by most people this time.
Zhao Kuo finally spoke: "Lin Qing, have you forgotten what Mr. Pingyang said before, I have already controlled the evidence that Yu Xin secretly communicated with Qin's spy and shocked the sky?"
Lin Xiangru laughed: "A bandit is actually a spy from the Qin people?
Zhao Qing, your story is indeed fabricated quite realistically. All the personal and physical evidence seem to be extremely strict and flawless.
But...is this really the case?
Actually, I know why you were impatient to kill Yu Qing, because Yu Qing controls your other evidence of crimes!”
Zhao Kuo looked at Lin Xiangru for a while and couldn't help laughing: "What kind of evidence?"
Lin Xiangru nodded and said to Guo Zong: "Guo Zong, let's talk about how Zhao Qing secretly smuggled weapons to Qi through your Guo Chamber of Commerce!"
After Lin Xiangru finished speaking, the entire hall suddenly felt an uproar.
"Zhao Qing actually..." "Is Zhao Qing really a traitor?"
