After hearing Qi Da's words, Pi Gan could only smile bitterly. Of course, he knew that what Qi Da was saying was the fact that his injuries were very serious. He was stabbed several times. The wound would be infected and he could kill his life. Yes, it was an infection.

Qi Da glanced at his subordinate who was sewing the skin dry, and asked, "Did you think of anyone trying to harm you?"

Pigan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "We have too many enemies, who knows who took the action?"

When the internal factory was first established, it had fought with many people everywhere, including gangsters, gangsters, bandits, horse bandits, and it was common for them to collect intelligence and fight with others. Who knows if someone recognized him and came to cause trouble for him?

Qi Da shook his head: "I don't think of it. These people are very professional, but they are not very professional."

When they say they are professional, they are professionals in killing, and they are specialized in death. After so many people die, they will never retreat. In the end, they have the courage to commit suicide. It is difficult to find such people. When they say they are not professional, they are not professional in assassination.

If it were the internal factory doing this, it would never be like this.

"What do you mean by sir?" Pigan looked at Qi Da and said with a little hesitation.

"These people are more like dead soldiers raised by wealthy families in high schools. This knife is good." As he said that, Qi Da reached out and bounced the blade, and said with a smile: "These people should be the ones you offended after you became the tax department. But it's hard to say who took the action."

Pi Gan pondered for a moment and said, "Is the gentry of Jinan Prefecture the Chai family?"

This time, the Chai family was the most suspicious of the officials and gentry in Jinan Prefecture. He issued the highest fine to their family. If it was a dead soldier raised by a wealthy family, then the Chai family would be the most likely.

You should know that raising dead soldiers is the most expensive, and dead soldiers are not just fooling them.

You have to give enough money, plus resettlement pension, that's a lot of money.

"Not like it!" Qi Da shook his head again: "Although the Chai family suffered heavy losses this time, you fined more than 100,000 taels, for a high-ranking big player like the Chai family, it is not considered a trauma, at most it is a skin injury."

"There are many people in the Chai family who are outside the Chai family, and the biggest ones are the governors."

"To kill the imperial officials for money is something that the destiny does, and it is definitely not something that a family like the Chai family does. Even if you want to kill you, I feel that I will not use this method." When Qi Da said this, he suddenly laughed.

"Forget it, this has nothing to do with us. We came here to save your life."

"There will definitely be someone who will care about your assassination, but don't worry, I will have someone investigate it in secret."

Pigan wanted to say something, but suddenly someone shouted and neighed outside, and then many people came over. The leader was Wang Yongji, the head of the Taxation Department. At this time, Wang Yongji was swept away his mood, and his whole body was filled with a murderous aura.

Officials in the Ming Dynasty were superior, and it was absolutely not allowed to assassinate a life-threatening official in the street.

Once such a thing happens, it will definitely be boycotted by all officials. Otherwise, if he is killed today, who knows whether it will be his turn tomorrow. In the officialdom, he will fight to the death and eventually dismiss his post and never tell the situation.

The Ming Dynasty's officialdom still has a bottom line. After the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party fought, this bottom line disappeared.

Of course, at that time, it could not be considered a simple civil servant party struggle. Even when there was no bottom line, it was still talking about things in the officialdom. Impeachment was the mainstream method, and assassination was not.

Wang Yongji was very happy about the affairs of Jinan Prefecture. He finally breathed a sigh of relief in the past two days. Who would have thought that such a thing happened at this time?

Wang Yongji walked to Pi Han, lowered his body and asked, "Do you know who did it?"

Pigan shook his head with a wry smile: "Sir, I have no clue for a while."

Nodded gently, Wang Yiji reached out and patted the skin and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will give you an explanation for what happened this time!" He said that, and stood up and looked at Qi Da.

"The Shandong manager of the Inner Factory has met Lord Wang!" Qi Da saw Wang Yongji look at him, and quickly clasped his fists and said.

Wang Yongji nodded and said, "Everyone is in charge, can you tell me what's going on?"

Qi Da nodded, told the whole story of the matter, and then said, "Mr. Wang, we are just here to save people. The rest will be left to Mr. Wang. If Mr. Wang has any place to use our factory, it doesn't matter."

Nodded, Wang Yongji did not refute. He didn't know if he would use the internal factory in the future, so he said directly: "Okay, I have recorded it."

When Qi Da was about to turn around and leave, Pi Gan suddenly called him and said, "Sir, did you ever see the archers outside when you came?"

Qi Da shook his head directly: "No, maybe he ran away when he saw that the situation was not good."

As soon as these words were said, Xing Shangzhi was instantly excited, looking at Wang Yongji and said, "Mr. Wang, I will take people to chase you!"

In fact, among the people who came to Shandong this time, Xing Shangzhi was the most depressing person. He came here with the mentality of making contributions. A few days ago, the gentry in Shandong was making a fuss, and he was quite excited, but who knew that he would be timid in a few days.

Xing Shangzhi's original good mood suddenly became bad, and he sighed in his heart.

But at this time, Xing Shangzhi was instantly excited. Assassinating the imperial court officials in the street, or assassinating the people from the Tax Department at such a critical moment. This is to openly confront the imperial court!

Xing Shangzhi felt that his opportunity had come, and his eyes looked at Wang Yongji, all of which were looking forward to it.

Wang Yongji shook his head. At this time, he didn't want to let Xing Shangzhi go out. In order to make meritorious service, Xing Shangzhi would definitely lock the whole city. The gentry and he had just had an unhappy relationship with him because of collecting taxes. If he locked the whole city, it would definitely cause panic among many people.

The Jinyiwei acted unscrupulously. If someone seized the opportunity to sow discord, the great situation in Jinan Prefecture would be gone.

After glanced at Xing Shangzhi who was excited, Wang Yongji said directly: "Mr. Xing, you can take him to arrest him, but you are not allowed to disturb the people, and you are not allowed to rush into the people's homes directly. If you have any discoveries, you must report to me in time."

"Mr. Wang, just look at it!" Xing Shangzhi said with a big laugh: "Children, you're working!"

This time Xing Shangzhi left Beijing, naturally brought many experts from the Jinyiwei, experienced coroners, masters who were good at finding traces, and even those who were proficient in solving cases. With Xing Shangzhi's words, the Jinyiwei took action quickly.

Some were autopsy, some were checking the weapon, some were checking the traces, and they were orderly.

Under the leadership of the person who was looking for traces, Xing Shangzhi led the Jinyiwei to chase him in one direction.

Such a big thing happened in Jinan Prefecture, so naturally it could not be concealed. For a moment, the entire Jinan Prefecture was in a panic. The gentry was as big as a fight, especially the gentry who was urged to pay the fine by the skin. At this time, their suspicion increased greatly!

The Chai family was even more in chaos. Chai Hui was one head and two big ones, so he did not dare to hesitate at all. He urged people to quickly collect the fine silver and sent it to the Taxation Department that morning. The other gentry moved very quickly, and before noon, they all handed over.

The people from the Shandong Governor's Office and the Jinan Prefecture Office were also shocked. If they were still frightened before, they were really scared now.

In the governor's yamen, Shandong governor, Shandong imperial envoy, Jinan prefect and other officials gathered together. Even Wang Zongmu, who was pretending to be sick, came out. If he was pretending to be sick at this time, he would really be a fool.

If Wang Zongmu was not afraid of what happened before, it would not work now.

In Shandong under his own rule, such a vicious assassination of imperial officials in the street occurred in the provincial capital. This was much more serious than ordinary murders. The obvious lack of governance was really a fatal loss at this time.

Especially the prefect of Jinan Youhuo, his face was as pale as paper and his expression was in a panic.

As the prefect of the provincial capital, You Wei certainly knew that he was the best scapegoat. If such a thing happened in Jinan Prefecture, he was definitely the first person to be responsible. If the matter was not solved well, then the trouble would be great.

Seeing that everyone had sat down, Wang Zongmu spoke directly and said, "You have heard of everything?"

Seeing that everyone nodded and agreed, Wang Zongmu continued, "Then I will not repeat it. What I want to say is that this is definitely a big deal, a matter that has lost Shandong's face. If this matter is not handled well, everyone here, including me, will suffer this time."

"So, my colleagues, it's time for us to work together."

"Magistrate You, let your people look for them all over the city, and the people from the Governor's Office will cooperate with you. You must find the people no matter what, even if it is to dig three feet into the ground. I don't need to say the importance of this matter, Magistrate You should understand."

You Jie quickly stood up and said, "Don't worry, Governor, the official understands. After returning, the official will arrange for the person to start the investigation."

This is a responsibility that You Wei cannot escape. If you can find it, it would be fine. If you can't find it, You Wei will probably be very guilty. You Wei cannot fail to do your best to assassinate the imperial officials. This is rebellion and a rebellion!

"Others all have their own duties. We must ensure that Jinan Prefecture cannot be in chaos and that the market is stable."

"Those who dare to hoard and spread rumors will be severely punished!"

"I will go to the imperial envoy to visit Pi Sicheng later. You guys follow me and listen to what the imperial envoy said first." With a serious look, Wang Zongmu said in a deep voice: "If something happens at this time, I will never be polite."

Everyone stood up quickly and said, "After the order carefully!"

Wang Zongmu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's go and do your own business!"
