There were countless rumors suddenly appearing in Jinan Prefecture. Since Chai Chong was arrested, the rumors have shown a trend of going to heaven. The spearhead of the rumors is directed at the Jinyiwei, and the content is also very simple. The Jinyiwei wants to clean up the gentry of Shandong.

The reason is of course and simple, for the purpose of hiding the land.

This rumor was originally ridiculous, but as it spread, it became rumored and there were more and more various statements. In just half a day, the rumor spread throughout Jinan Prefecture, and for a moment, the people of Jinan Prefecture were panicked.

"Sir, it's not good!"

In the imperial envoy's yamen, a follower ran in from outside and said breathlessly: "Sir, rumors spread everywhere in the city. Many gentry were scared. They packed up their things and prepared to go out of the city to avoid disaster. Now there are many frames on the street."

Hearing this sentence, Wang Yongji's face turned pale and his face smiled bitterly.

Wang Zongmu's face was also ugly, but he was the governor of Shandong, so he couldn't get rid of this matter. He glanced at Feng Kai, the commander beside him, and Wang Zongmu said directly: "Commander Feng, I will pass on my official order to lock down the city! Martial law!"

"Governor Wang, no!" Wang Yongji said loudly.

"Governor Wang, if the city is sealed, what should I do outside Jinan City Mansion? If something worse news comes out, the whole Shandong will be in chaos." Wang Yongji almost cried: "It's obviously someone is pushing it!"

Wang Zongmu was silent. At this time, he could certainly see that someone was doing something.

"But once the gentry of Jinan Prefecture leaves the city on a large scale, Shandong will be in chaos, and the officials and gentry will be paid together." Wang Zongmu looked at Wang Yongji and said in a deep voice: "Once there is chaos in Shandong, the narrative will definitely affect Henan, Hebei and other places. 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 apologized from the emperor and things would not be that far. The only thing that is involved in the Chai family is that we do not continue to pursue others, things will soon pass."

"Let Chai Huo calm down the object discussion?" Wang Zongmu said with a somewhat ugly expression.

"It's too late!" Wang Yongji shook his head. Once the rumors arose, it's not so easy to suppress them. Now the gentry wants to run out. Will they listen to your explanation? Most of the opinions are that no matter whether there is anything or not, they will run out and talk first.

It’s best if there’s nothing to do. We’re back. If there’s something, then run away. Life is important.

"Xing Shangzhi misled me!" Wang Yong sat on the chair with a depressed look and said this for a while. Wang Zongmu on the side also looked depressed. This time he was afraid that this time he would be about to fall into the trap.

After a while, Wang Yongji sat upright again and said to Wang Zongmu: "Sir Wang, send someone to maintain order to avoid anyone taking the opportunity to cause trouble!"

Just as Wang Zongmu was about to agree, a voice suddenly sounded at the door: "It is useless to do this alone. The most important thing is to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, otherwise the rest will be done in vain."

With this sentence, a eunuch stepped into the house, holding Buddha dust in his hand, and looked at the two people with a smile and said, "From now on, our family will decide this!" As the eunuch took out a yellow scroll from his sleeve.

"The emperor's secret order, two adults will accept the order!" Xu De looked around and said: "Where is Xing Shangzhi? Call Xing Shangzhi too!"

Not long after, Xing Shangzhi walked out and came closer. He was writing a secret memorial in the room. When he heard that there was an imperial edict, he rushed over. Seeing Xu De, Xing Shangzhi was stunned and his face instantly became ugly.

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

No matter what the reason is, his performance obviously made His Majesty dissatisfied.

After the three of them arrived, they knelt on the ground and listened to the orders together, and Xu De quickly read out the imperial edict. The content was actually very simple, which was to hand over the assassination of Pigan in Jinan to Xu De for handling.

Zhu Yijun didn’t know what was going on in Shandong, nor did he know that the case in Jinan Prefecture would cause such a big stir.

Not enough, Pigan was assassinated, but Zhu Yijun had a very bad association, that is, the mining supervision and tax supervision sent by Emperor Wanli. All of those people went to various places to collect taxes, and they collected commercial taxes represented by mining taxes.

Then these people were not only strong local resistance, but also beaten to death.

After the mining supervision incident, the emperor completely lost control of the local area. Local gentry and officials also saw it. It was okay to kill the mining supervision itself. What a big deal, so he naturally became more courageous.

For Zhu Yijun, this is absolutely not allowed. No matter what the reason or who did it, it must be severely punished and not loaned.

If officials were involved this time, Zhu Yijun was preparing to issue the first imperial edict for the whole family to behead him. This was the reason why Zhu Yijun asked Xu De to come. In this matter, except for Wang Yongji, he did not believe any of the officials in Shandong.

After reading the imperial edict, the three of them stood up from the ground. Xu De smiled and said, "Two sirs, our family will not disturb the two sirs."

Xu De had no intention of getting involved with them at all. He glanced at Xing Shangzhi beside him. Xu De smiled and said, "Sir Xing, come with our family! From now on, your Jinyiwei will be dispatched by our family."

"Yes, Eunuch Xu!" Xing Shangzhi bowed quickly and said, his attitude was so submissive.

Seeing the two people leaving, Wang Zongmu hesitated and said to Wang Yongji: "Who is this Eunuch Xu? Why is Xing Shangzhi so respectful to him?"

"The eunuch in charge of the Silijian was ordered to supervise the eunuch in the inner factory, and the emperor's confidant eunuch. Compared with Zhang Jing of the East Factory, this Eunuch Xu's holy favor is even better. Although this Eunuch Xu rarely appears in front of others, his strength cannot be underestimated. Unexpectedly, His Majesty will let him take charge of the case in Jinan Prefecture this time."

Wang Zongmu was stunned and said in disbelief: "Inner Factory?"

When talking about internal factories, the first thing Wang Zongmu thought of was an expert factory. When this thing was mentioned, the civil servants were frightened! When thinking of an expert factory, he had to think of Liu Jin. He was really too famous.

In addition to the east factory that has always existed, one in the west factory and one in the inner factory, one in Wang Zhi and one in Liu Jin, it makes people feel uncomfortable when they are brought up.

Wang Yongji smiled and shook his head and said, "Governor Wang, it's not what you think. You will know in two days! But I am hungry. I didn't think about it just now, Governor Wang, let's have a few drinks!"

Seeing Wang Yongji's relaxed look, Wang Zongmu couldn't believe it. Is this still the Wang Yongji just now?

After thinking about it, Wang Zongmu smiled: "It seems that Lord Wang is full of confidence in this Eunuch Xu, so I will wait and see. I am a little hungry when I speak. Since Lord Wang invites me, I will respectfully refuse to obey my orders."

"Governor Wang, just look at it! Someone in Shandong is going to be unlucky."

Wang Yongji said with a big laugh.

When he left the door, Xu De glanced at Xing Shangzhi and said lightly: "Take your people with you and follow our family!" As he said that, Xu De walked out with a step. Xing Shangzhi hurriedly chased after him for a few steps: "Sir, what are we doing?"

"Catch people!" Xu De only said two words and stopped speaking.

Xing Shangzhi didn't dare to ask again, and followed Xu De with his men except the imperial envoy.

Deyue Tower in Nancheng, Jinan Prefecture.

Xu De stood at the door of Deyue Tower, looked at Qi Da who was standing beside him, and said lightly: "Here is someone?"

"Brother-in-law, here!" Qi Da nodded and said, "The target is Bai Laosan, who is a famous figure in Jinan Prefecture. He runs a casino and brothel, has a wide range of friendships and has some relationships in the yamen."

Xu De nodded and nodded to Xing Shangzhi beside him: "Catch people and you have to survive!"

Xing Shangzhi looked at the brothel in front of him and nodded. Facing Wang Yongji, Xing Shangzhi had the courage to resist, but facing Xu De, Xing Shangzhi really didn't have the courage. Not to mention the imperial edict in Xu De's hand, he could not afford to offend Xu De's identity as the official of the factory.

The Jinyiwei and the eunuch lived on their holy favors. Compared to this, they were much different from Xu De.

After receiving Xing Shangzhi's order, the Jinyiwei rushed into the Deyue Tower like a wolf, and the entire Deyue Tower suddenly became a mess.

The screams and curses were loud, but Xu De turned a deaf ear and sat on the chair he brought over and hit Hache lightly. In fact, Xu De was very unconscious of the arrest of such a person, and the technical content was too low.

But the senses given to others are different. This Eunuch Xu is really the superior.

Many people surrounded him, just sitting there so much, showing their arrogance and disdain, which fully interpreted a superior eunuch. If this were placed in later generations, it would be a villain in the movie.

"Sir, I've caught it!" Qianhu from the Jinyiwei walked over and said respectfully.

Xing Shangzhi quickly turned his head to Xu De and said, "Brother-in-law, I've caught it!"

Although I heard it just now, I pretended not to hear it. Until Xing Shangzhi spoke, Xu De raised his eyelids and said, "Everyone is coming, we are going to ask questions."

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

Xu De said lightly: "Which one is Bai Lao San?"

A man in his thirties quickly lay on the ground and kowtowed: "The youngest is, the youngest is Bai Laosan!"

"Who are they you?" Xu De reached out and stroked the kneeling person on the ground.

"It's the villain's subordinate!" Bai Laosan said hurriedly.

Xu De made a clear statement, then pointed at one of the people 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 chopped it down? But seeing Xu De's serious appearance, he knew he had heard it right, so he quickly waved his hand to the Jinyiwei: "Pull it down, chop it down, pull it away."

Not long after, there were begging for mercy and screams from the other side, and then a bloody head was taken up.
