Countless rumors suddenly appeared in Jinan Mansion, and since Chai Hui was arrested, the rumors have a tendency to go to heaven. The spearhead of the rumors is directed at Jinyiwei, and the content is also very simple, Jinyiwei wants to clean the Shandong gentry.

The reason, of course, is simple, in order to conceal the affairs of the land.

This rumor was originally ridiculous, but as it spread, it became very popular, and various theories increased. In just half a day, this rumor spread throughout Jinan Mansion, and for a while, people in Jinan Mansion were panicked.

"My lord, it's not good!"

A retinue ran in from outside, panting and saying, "My lord, rumors are spreading in the city, and many gentry are afraid, and they all pack up their things and prepare to go out of the city to avoid trouble. ”

Hearing this, Wang Yongji's face suddenly turned pale and showed a wry smile.

Wang Zongmu on the side also had an ugly face, but he was the governor of Shandong, and he couldn't get out of this matter. Glancing at the commander Feng Kai beside him, Wang Zongmu said directly: "Commander Feng, pass on this official order, seal the city!" Martial law! ”

"Governor Wang, no!" Wang Yongji said loudly on the side.

"Governor Wang, if the city is sealed, what will happen outside the city of Jinan? If there is worse news, the whole of Shandong will be in chaos. Wang Yongji was about to cry: "This is obviously someone pushing!" ”

Wang Zongmu was silent, at this time, of course, he could see that someone was playing ghosts.

"But once the gentry of Jinan Mansion go out of the city on a large scale, Shandong will also be in chaos, and the gentry will be finished paying grain in one piece." Wang Zongmu looked at Wang Yongji and said in a deep voice: "Once there is chaos in Shandong, it will definitely spread to Henan, Hebei and other places, and we will die at that time!" ”

Wang Yongji shook his head and said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, then the official will go to the emperor to ask for guilt, and the matter will not come to that point." It's just the Chai family that is implicated left and right, and once we don't continue to pursue others, the matter will soon pass. ”

"Put Chai Hui and calm down the discussion?" Wang Zongmu said with a somewhat ugly face.

"It's too late!" Wang Yongji shook his head, once the rumors arise, how can it be so easy to suppress, now the gentry want to run out, they will listen to your explanation? Most of the opinions are that whether there is something or not, run out and talk about it first.

It's best if there's nothing to do, we're coming back, if there's something to do, it's the right thing, and your life matters.

"Xing Shangzhi misunderstood me!" Wang Yongji sat down in his chair and said such a sentence for a long time. Wang Zongmu on the side also looked gloomy, this time he was afraid that he was going to eat melons.

After a while, Wang Yongji sat up straight again, and said to Wang Zongmu: "Lord Wang, send someone to maintain order to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to make trouble!" ”

Wang Zongmu just wanted to agree, but a voice suddenly sounded at the door: "It's useless to just do this, the most important thing is to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, otherwise everything else is done in vain." ”

With these words, a eunuch stepped into the house, holding Buddha dust in his hand, looked at the two people with a smile and said, "From now on, this matter is up to our family!" As he spoke, the eunuch took out a yellow scroll from his sleeve.

"The emperor's secret decree, the two adults will take the decree!" Saying that, Xu De looked around: "What about Xing Shangzhi?" Call Xing Shangzhi too! ”

After a short time, Xing Shangzhi approached from outside, he was writing a secret recital in his room, and he hurried over when he heard that there was a holy decree. Seeing Xu De, Xing Shangzhi was stunned, and his face instantly became ugly.

He is in Jinan Mansion, but now Xu De from the inner factory is here, which shows that he cannot take over Jinan.

Whatever the reason, it is clear that his performance has dissatisfied His Majesty.

After the three of them arrived, they knelt on the ground together to listen to the decree, and Xu De quickly read out the holy decree. The content is actually very simple, that is, to hand over the case of the assassination of Pigan in Jinan Mansion to Xu De.

Zhu Yijun didn't know what the situation was in Shandong, and he didn't know that the case in Jinan Mansion would make such a big wave.

was not enough to be assassinated, but Zhu Yijun had a very bad association, that is, the mine supervisor and tax supervisor sent by the Wanli Emperor. All those people went to various places to collect taxes, and the commercial taxes represented by the mining tax were collected.

Then these people were not only met with strong local resistance, but also killed.

Since the mine supervisor incident, the emperor has completely lost control of the place. The local gentry and officials also saw it, and it was okay to kill the mine supervisor himself, what was the big deal, and he was naturally more courageous.

For Zhu Yijun, this is absolutely not allowed, and the assassination of the tax officials, no matter what the reason, who did it, must be severely punished.

If officials are involved this time, Zhu Yijun is ready to issue the first holy decree that is full of beheadings. This is the reason why Zhu Yijun asked Xu De to come, in this matter, except for Wang Yongji, he didn't believe any of the officials in Shandong.

After reading the holy decree, the three people stood up from the ground, and Xu De said with a smile: "Two adults, our family will not disturb the two adults." ”

Xu De didn't mean to get involved with them at all, and glanced at Xing Shangzhi beside him, Xu De said with a smile: "Master Xing, let's go with our family!" From now on, you brocade guards will be dispatched to our family. ”

"Yes, Grandpa Xu!" Xing Shangzhi hurriedly bowed and said, his attitude was called a deferential.

Watching the two of them leave, Wang Zongmu said to Wang Yongji with some hesitation: "Who is this Gonggong Xu?" Why is Xing Shangzhi so respectful to him? ”

"The celebrant is ordered to supervise the eunuch in the inner factory, and the emperor's henchman and inner servant, compared to Zhang Whale in the East Factory, this Gonggong Xu's holy favor is even better. Although this Gonggong Xu rarely appears in front of people, his strength should not be underestimated, and he didn't expect that His Majesty would let him take charge of the case in Jinan Mansion this time. ”

Wang Zongmu was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "Inner factory? ”

When it comes to the inner factory, Wang Zongmu's first thought is the inner factory, and this thing is frightened when it comes to civil officials! When you think of an expert factory, you can't help but think of Liu Jin, it's really that his fame is too great.

In addition to the East Factory, a West Factory and an Inner Factory, one Wang Zhi and one Liu Jin, it makes people feel uncomfortable when they mention it.

Wang Yongji shook his head with a smile and said, "Governor Wang, it's not what you think, you'll know in two days!" But this official is hungry, I didn't think it just now, Governor Wang, let's go have a few drinks! ”

Looking at Wang Yongji's relaxed face, Wang Zongmu couldn't believe it, this is still the same Wang Yongji just now?

After thinking about it, Wang Zongmu smiled: "It seems that Lord Wang is full of confidence in this Gonggong Xu, so the official will wait and see, speaking of which, the official is also a little hungry, since Lord Wang invited, the official will be respectful and disobedient." ”

"Governor Wang, just take a look! Someone in Shandong is going to be unlucky. ”

Wang Yongji said with a laugh.

Out of the door, Xu De glanced at Xing Shangzhi and said lightly: "Take your people and follow our family!" Saying that, Xu De walked out with steps, and Xing Shangzhi hurriedly followed a few steps and said, "My lord, what are we going to do?" ”

"Arrest someone!" Xu De only said two words, and then stopped talking.

Xing Shangzhi didn't dare to ask again, and followed Xu De with someone except for Qincha.

Jinan Mansion South City Deyue Building.

Xu De stood at the door of Deyue Tower, glanced at Qi Da, who was standing beside him, and said lightly: "People are here?" ”

"Back to my father-in-law, here!" Qi Da nodded and said: "The target is called Bai Laosan, a well-known figure in Jinan Mansion, who runs casinos and green buildings, has a wide range of contacts, and has some connections in the yamen." ”

Xu De nodded, and nodded to Xing Shangzhi beside him: "Arrest people, you want to live!" ”

Xing Shangzhi looked at the Qinglou in front of him, nodded, facing Wang Yongji, Xing Shangzhi had the courage to resist, but in the face of Xu De, Xing Shangzhi really didn't have the courage. Not to mention the holy decree in Xu De's hands, he can't afford to offend just because of Xu De's identity as a factory official.

Jinyiwei and the eunuch both lived on the Holy Grace, and compared to them, they were too much worse than Xu De.

After getting Xing Shangzhi's order, Jinyiwei rushed into Deyue Tower like a wolf, and the entire Deyue Tower suddenly jumped with chickens and dogs.

The screams and curses were loud, but Xu De turned a deaf ear, sat on the chair that his subordinates moved, and gave a faint halt. In fact, Xu De is very indifferent to such a thing of arresting, and the technical content is too low.

But the senses for others are different, this Gonggong Xu is really a superior person.

Many people around him were crowded, and they sat there with such a big horn, fully showing their arrogance and disdain, which simply performed a high-ranking eunuch to the fullest, if this is placed in the future generations, it will be the villain in the movie.

"My lord, the man has been caught!" Qianhu of Jinyiwei walked over and said respectfully.

Xing Shangzhi hurriedly turned his head to Xu De and said, "Father-in-law, the person has caught it!" ”

Although he heard it just now, he pretended not to hear it, and it wasn't until Xing Shangzhi opened his mouth that Xu De raised his eyelids and said, "Press it all over, our family wants to ask." ”

It didn't take long for five or six people to be pressed, and they were all scared to death.

Xu De said lightly: "Which one is Bai Laosan?" ”

A man in his thirties hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed: "The small one is, the small one is Bai Laosan!" ”

"And who are they?" Xu De stretched out his hand and scratched the kneeling person on the ground.

"It's a villain's men!" Bai Laosan hurriedly said.

Xu De made a gesture, then pointed to one of them and said, "Pull away, cut it!" ”

Not to mention the others, Xing Shangzhi felt that he had heard it wrong, so he pulled it down and cut it? But looking at Xu De's serious appearance, he knew that he had heard correctly, and hurriedly waved his hand at Jin Yiwei: "Pull it down, cut it, pull it away." ”

After a short time, there were cries for mercy and screams, and then a bloody human head was taken.

Xu De looked at Bai Laosan and said with a smile: "Do you know why our family let people cut him?" ”
