Bai Laosan looked up at Xu De and shook his head vigorously: "I don't know, the villain doesn't know,"

After sitting upright, Xu De said lightly: "In order to show you something, I will tell you that our family dares to kill people. In fact, our family doesn't have much time to bother you, so what is our family asking, what do you better say."

"On the other hand, our family has already found three women and two children."

Bai Lao San must have said this, and hurriedly climbed forward a few steps and said loudly: "Dad father-in-law, the villain must know everything and say everything!"

"Our family asks you, did you release the rumors in Jinan Mansion? You are very brave in slandering the Jinyiwei. Come and talk to our family, who told you to do this?" Xu De nodded, but his expression had already become cold.

In terms of rumor and hyping public opinion, the internal factory, which has been developed for more than ten years, is definitely the most professional existence in the Ming Dynasty.

Now such low-level market rumors are no longer the main business of the internal factory. They are too low-end. The internal factory is now developing new businesses, which is to install its own hands among scholars.

The remarks of scholars are the wind direction, and the main energy of the inner factory is concentrated on this.

Of course, concentrating on that aspect does not mean that this side has given up. The internal factory has invested a lot in the market rumors, so it is naturally strong. When rumors spread everywhere in Jinan Prefecture, the internal factory noticed that someone was hyping up this matter.

The internal factory suddenly became interested. We used to hype it up, but I didn’t expect that now someone started to learn from us.

In this industry, the internal factory is very proficient in business and has good cooperation with major teahouses and restaurants. You can tell when you investigate. Bai Laosan is doing this. This is why this scene happened and he grabbed this point and chased after him.

When Bai Laosan was found, he had already guessed that it was because of this.

In fact, when the gentry was leaving Jinan Mansion for a riot, Bai Laosan knew that things were wrong. When he arrived at Deyue Tower, Bai Laosan did not come here to sleep with women, but to get the money. After getting the money, he was about to run away.

If things don’t go through after leaving Jinan, Bai Laosan will never come back.

But Bai Laosan didn't expect that the Jinyiwei was moving so quickly that he was blocked in Deyue Tower.

"Sir, sir, it was the old lady of the Chai family who asked me to do it!" Bai Laosan was immediately excited and said loudly: "Mrs. Chai said that in order to give up the head of the Chai family, as long as the rumor is spread, the government will release the head of the Chai family!"

"Mrs. Chai gave the villain ten thousand taels of silver, and the young man was guilty!"

While saying that, Bai Laosan kowtowed and said loudly: "Please spare my life, father-in-law!"

After looking at Bai Laosan who was lying on the ground and kowtowed, Xu De smiled. When he waved his hand, someone pulled Bai Laosan down and got what he wanted. Xu De, a little person like Bai Laosan, didn't care.

Standing up, Xu De smiled and said, "Put on Chai Huo, let's and the Chai family!" Just as he was about to get on the carriage, Xu De turned to Xing Shangzhi and said, "Take the two people you caught in Lanruo Temple, and tell Wang Xunfu, lock down the city, and martial law!"

The city lockdown and martial law were only done during wartime, and the troops were transferred into the city and patrolled day and night.

If you are not allowed to go out or enter, people will be questioned when they go to the streets. Local officials will never do this unless they are absolutely necessary.

Hearing Xu De's words, Xing Shangzhi was immediately excited and said loudly: "Yes, father-in-law!"

Xing Shangzhi has held his breath these days. Now that he heard that he was going to the Chai family, Xing Shangzhi suddenly became excited.

Although Chai Chong's life was pretty good in the magistrate's prison, he was still much more depressed. He was suppressed toward the Chai family, and Chai Chong's heart was also full of ups and downs.

When he arrived at his home, Chai Chong didn't expect that there would be such a big formation here.

Shandong Governor Wang Zongmu, Shandong Governor Zhang Cong, Secretariat Li Mao, Jinan Governor Cao Kun, etc., all officials from all Shandong Prefecture were all here. In addition, the imperial envoy Wang Yongji, Jinyiwei commander Xing Shangzhi, and the Chai family yard were all over.

However, Chai Chong found that none of these people seemed to be the main master. The main master was a eunuch, a eunuch who had never seen before.

Xu De looked at Chai Hui who was pressed on, and smiled and said, "The Lord is here!" After saying that, his eyes swept over the officials of all sizes present, and then smiled and said, "Then let's start!"

After receiving the news of the city lockdown, Wang Zongmu and Wang Yongji rushed over immediately. They also learned that Xu De had captured Bai Laosan and found out the person who spread the rumors. Wang Zongmu also believed what Wang Yongji said at this time.

It was just that it was the Chai family again, which made Wang Zongmu and Wang Yongji feel in their hearts.

The two of them stopped Xing Shangzhi and were in the Chai family. If it was proved to be the Chai family afterwards, those two people would definitely be in trouble.

Xu De glanced at Chai Chong and said with a smile: "Check a stool for the head of the Chai family. After all, the Chai family is also a scholarly family, an official family, and the Chai family's children are officials in the dynasty, which is a contribution to the Ming Dynasty."

"Before our family left the capital, the emperor gave instructions, the Ming Dynasty must not treat the meritorious ministers unfairly!"

Xu De has been in charge of the Inner Factory over the years, and has studied with Zhu Yijun, and is well aware of the importance of establishing a good image.

To put some nice words, giving a seat is a irrelevant matter, but I have established my image. At the same time, I have also established a good image for the emperor. In the words of the emperor, "this is all a routine."

Sure enough, Xu De's actions made many people feel relieved, and the Shandong officials present looked much better.

Chai Hui's eyes were even redder and bowed to Xu De: "Thank you, father-in-law!"

"Sit!" Xu De made a sitting gesture, and then said with a smile: "The head of the Chai family may not know what happened until now. It doesn't matter. Our family will ask about the matter clearly today."

"A few days ago, something big happened in our Jinan Prefecture, that is, Si Chengpi Pigan of Shandong Taxation Department was assassinated."

"The nature of this matter is very bad. Assassinating the imperial court's official in the street is a rebellion. Officials at all levels in Shandong report to the court in a timely manner and work together with the Jinyiwei, all wanting to solve the case as soon as possible."

Xu De's words praised Shandong officials and Jinyiwei together, and set a tone.

That is, the Jinyiwei and Shandong officials are both trying to solve the case, so some disputes are inevitable. Don’t make a big deal, otherwise it will be of no benefit to anyone. The smart people present suddenly heard what Xu De said.

After all, a few days ago, the Shandong officials and Jinyiwei had a very unhappy quarrel because of the Chai family.

Regardless of whether the Chai family is the real murderer or not, there is always one of the Jinyiwei and Shandong officials who did something wrong. The tone set is to tell them that no matter who did something wrong, it will be for investigation afterwards and no one is allowed to investigate the case.

Xu De knew the emperor's idea that Shandong should not be in chaos, and promoting the integration of officials and gentry to pay food is the top priority.

At this time, we must stabilize Shandong. If a major adjustment to officials is made, it will delay the matter. The Jinyiwei is busy solving the case and naturally cannot be punished, so it is necessary to set the tone in advance.

Although Xing Shangzhi was not convinced, he did not dare to show it on his face.

Shandong officials do not want to make things bigger. It is naturally the best to be able to turn big things into small things. Now the situation is not good for them!

"The emperor will ask our family to come to Jinan Prefecture and coordinate with the Shandong emperors and Jinyiwei to find out the case as soon as possible and give Lord Pi an explanation." Speaking of this, Xu De's face became serious: "I will also give an explanation to the officials of the Ming Dynasty."

"The emperor said that this is the country of the Ming Dynasty. You are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty and have made contributions to Yu State. You cannot kill anyone who wants to kill him."

"It is common for me to contribute to the country and be hated by a slut. If you kill you today and him tomorrow, how can you let your ministers serve the Ming Dynasty? So this case must be investigated strictly this time. The emperor gave our family three requirements, namely: speed, strictness, and seriousness!"

Xu De said beautifully, and the person below was not a fool, so he quickly fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty is wise, long live my emperor!"

Xu De was very satisfied with this opening, then nodded and said, "Then let's start!" As he said that, Xu De turned to Chai Chong: "With the cooperation of Jinyiwei and all the adults in Shandong, the clues were found soon."

"The murderer who was trying to stab the skin was hiding in Lanruo Temple, so the Jinyiwei and his men raided Lanruo Temple."

"In Lanruo Temple, seventeen murderers were strangled and two of them were captured alive. Among the two, one was Chen Li, the accountant of the murderer leader Chen Liang, and the other was Chai family's butler Chai Fu."

When Xu De said this, he said to Xing Shangzhi: "Press up!"

After the person was suppressed, officials from all over Shandong suddenly realized that no wonder they wanted to find Chai Chong. Your housekeeper was there, and if you don’t look for anyone you want.

Xu De was very satisfied with the reaction on the scene. The reason why he let so many Shandong officials listen here was to spread the news through their mouths afterwards. Whether it was the real murderer of the Chai family or the wronged one, public opinion would not be at a disadvantage.

"According to the confession of Chai Fu, the steward of Chai Mansion, he was ordered by Chai Hong to give Chen Liang a silver of 30,000 taels of silver."

"In Lanruo Temple, the Jinyiwei found a contract with Chai Hong's seal. There was no specific thing written on the contract, but it also wrote that Chen Liang did something for Chai Hong, and then Chai Hong gave Chen Liang 30,000 taels of silver."

"With personal evidence and physical evidence, then Chai Hong's case is undoubtedly involved."

Xu De pointed at Chen Li again and said, "His name is Chen Li, Chen Liang's accountant. According to his confession, Chen Liang was the one who handled dirty things for the Chai family. Chai Hui once had a concubine who committed adultery with the teacher at home."

"In order to maintain his reputation, Chai Chong handed over the man to Chen Liang and gave Chen Liang three thousand taels of silver, asking Chen Liang to kill the two of them to vent his anger."
