Lao Zhu was led by Xu Liuzi to the street. The people standing on the street watching the excitement hurriedly dispersed when they saw this.

Xu Liuzi had long remembered a few familiar faces. When he saw these rogues mingling among the common people, he immediately shouted at the Jin Yiwei under his command.

"Catch those unruly people who are taking the lead in making trouble!"

At first, the gangsters were just pushing their way into the crowd, but when they heard this, they were so frightened that they immediately ran away.

Xu Liuzi had long been fed up with the cowardice of these guys. When he saw that they were about to run away, he didn't care whether it was rude or not. He immediately dropped Lao Zhu and chased after them.

Laiji, the thunderbolt hand in the west of the city, is the leader of these naughty men. He has some knowledge. After seeing the emperor's horse, he knew that he was going to be a bad guy.

Therefore, when he saw the emperor walking this way, he immediately ran away.

However, just as he was about to run out of the street, he suddenly felt pain in his back and was kicked to the ground.

Xu Liuzi stepped on Lai Er's back and cursed through gritted teeth.

"Isn't this Thunderbolt Hand Laiji? If you have the guts, you can run another one for us!"

"Master Xu, spare your life!"

"Youngster is also following orders and does not mean to offend Mr. Xu!"

Xu Liuzi snorted coldly.

"Save these words to speak to the Emperor!"

"We have suffered a lot from your arrogance during this period. If Mr. Hu hadn't suppressed you with all his might, I would have beaten ten of you for a rogue like you!"

After Xu Liuzi said this, he grabbed Lai Er's hair and dragged him to Lao Zhu.

"For your information, Your Majesty, this person is the rogue who is leading the trouble, and is nicknamed Thunderbolt Hand Raiji!"

"It is said that I am very familiar with the steward of Li Biao's family, a member of the household department. I can't guarantee there is something fishy here!"

When Xu Liuzi replied, other Jin Yiwei also arrested people one after another.

The Jin Yiwei in the Hongwu period were still very good at fighting. They were all good players recruited from the army by Lao Zhu, or they were the children of the military who died on the battlefield. Not to mention the rogues on the street, even the gangsters had trouble fighting against good soldiers like them.

Admit defeat.

When Lao Zhu heard that a member of the household department, Wai Lang, was involved, a cold smile immediately appeared on his face.

"interesting!"

"Our eldest grandson is just trying to show his filial piety for us. It's fine if no one is there to help us. There are actually people who are secretly obstructing us!"

"Whether the people from the household department are here today, please come out and get two of them!"

Chen Zongli, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, who was kneeling in the crowd, felt a chill down his spine when he heard this.

At this moment, he wished he could slap himself in the face for running here to watch the excitement. Wasn't he deliberately making himself unhappy?

The main duty of the Jin Yiwei was to serve as the emperor's eyes and ears, so with those poisonous eyes, they singled out Chen Zongli with just one glance in the crowd.

"Your Majesty, Chen Zongli, the Minister of Household Affairs, is here!"

Lao Zhu immediately shouted angrily.

"Chen Zongli, get out of here!"

After hearing this, Chen Zongli hurriedly crawled out from the crowd on hands and knees, and then came to Lao Zhu and kowtowed "bang bang bang".

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen really doesn't know. Just like you, Wei Chen is hearing about this for the first time!"

Lao Zhu glanced at Chen Zongli coldly and saw that he was as frightened as chaff, and then said to Xu Liuzi.

"Let us interrogate this person and ask if he was instigated by someone to deliberately frame our eldest grandson!"

Lao Zhu made a qualitative statement and directly defined what Xu Liuzi said about driving up housing prices as frame-up.

Because he has been fighting with these civil servants for decades, and he knows their methods very well.

This is not here to make money, this is here to frame someone.

Fortunately, Xu Liuzi obeyed Erhu's order and did not dare to use violence against these people. As long as he beat one person, that person's body would appear in Yingtianfu Yamen the next day, and then his eldest grandson would be beaten to death for building a palace.

The news will spread all over the city!

After receiving Lao Zhu's order, Xu Liuzi immediately pulled out an extremely slender steel awl from his boot and pierced Lai Er's thigh. Lai Er's thigh was hit by the awl and he howled like a pig in pain.

The surrounding civil servants were all dumbfounded. Some of the timid ones even covered their faces with their sleeves, not daring to watch such bloody scenes again.

The generals were really enjoying themselves watching it, and some couldn't help but comment on it.

"Xu Liuzi can do it. When he pushed the awl down, he didn't even touch a single blood vessel. He usually trains with others!"

"Look at Xu Liuzi, this technique is much more reliable than before. When I was in the army, this guy would wet the bed at night after killing people, hahaha!"

Xu Liuzi listened to the words of the superiors in the army, and couldn't help but use a little more force on his hand, and directly stabbed Lai Er through.

"Your Majesty asked us to ask you a question. You took the lead in making trouble but were you ordered by someone else?"

Raiji is just a tough guy who fights on the streets, and will immediately give in when he encounters a tough fight.

"Yes, yes..."

"It's Mr. Li's butler, Mr. You Sanye, who hired a young man to make trouble. He said that as long as he makes a scene and gets His Highness King Wu to buy the house that their master bought, he will give me one hundred taels of silver to spend!"

When Xu Liuzi asked this question, he immediately looked back at Lao Zhu with a proud face.

"Your Majesty, you have fulfilled your humble duty and have already found out the person behind the scenes!"

Lao Zhu sneered when he heard this.

"Keep asking!"

"This guy didn't tell us the truth, he must be hiding something!"

"ah?"

When Xu Liuzi heard this, he was stunned on the spot. Then he walked towards Lai Er viciously and stabbed his other leg twice, causing Lai Er to almost faint from the pain.

"How dare you lie to the emperor? Believe it or not, I will take you to Jinyiwei and let you taste the taste of peeled day lilies!"

Jinyiwei's reputation is well known. If Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Revenue, had not personally assured him in front of him that Jinyiwei would not attack ordinary people, he would not have dared to come and cause trouble if he had a hundred courages.

He also slightly encouraged the people to cause trouble twice. Seeing that the Jin Yiwei really didn't beat the people, he gradually became bolder.

Now that the case is clear, he no longer dares to hide it.

"Small moves... all small moves!"

"Master Li told me to find a way to kill a few people and then blame the king of Wu!"

"He also asked me to take the corpses of the common people to Yingtian Mansion to complain, saying that they have been taken care of there!"

"The original plan was to do it tonight. I said that when the matter was completed, I would give the villain five hundred taels of silver and let him fly away..."

"This time, I have told everything, without hiding anything. I hope the emperor will spare my life, oh oh oh..."

When Lao Zhu heard Lai Er's renewed confession, he winked at Xu Liuzi, who immediately grabbed Lai Er's hair and dragged him away from the emperor...

Chen Zongli, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, heard Lai Er's confession and had only one feeling, that is, it was over, it was all over, maybe the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom would have to be bloodbathed again!

At the very least, the household department where he works will be dragged down by Li Biao!

"Wei Chen is guilty!"

"Wei Chen's lack of control has led to the appearance of such scum in the household department. Wei Chen is willing to take the blame!"

When other officials heard Laiji's words, their hearts sank, and they secretly thought that His Majesty should go on a killing spree again this time. Maybe they themselves would be implicated...

Lao Zhu saw a sneer on his face when he saw Chen Zongli kowtowing like a man.

"I'll give you a chance this time. You go back and hold a joint trial with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple. You'll give us an explanation tomorrow morning!"

When Chen Zongli heard this, he could hardly believe his ears and almost thought he was hearing hallucinations!

His Majesty did not hand over this case to Jin Yiwei, but handed it over to himself for trial.

Although there is also a joint trial by the three judicial departments involved here, as long as you greet them well, this matter will definitely not implicate you!

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

"We will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust and we will investigate this case to the bottom of it!"

"Get out of here!"

Lao Zhu sent Chen Zongli away and immediately called Xu Liuzi.

"Xu Liuzi, you said that our eldest grandson built a big tile-roofed house for the people. Can you take us to see it?"

The reason why Lao Zhu asked this was just to give Xu Liuzi a buffer. In case what he just said was embarrassing, he could use an excuse to delay it at this time, so as not to embarrass him and Dasun.

Xu Liuzi didn't think so much. When the emperor asked this, he really thought that the emperor was being polite to him.

"Your Majesty, what you said is out of context. It's not convenient or inconvenient."

"The houses there were all built by humble officials. If we go there now, those unscrupulous people will treat us like guests. If we don't kill a chicken for humble officers, even humble officers will scold them for losing their conscience!"

Erhu heard Xu Liuzi's open mouth and kept winking at him. But this guy had already drifted away, so he didn't even bother to take a look at Erhu.

Lao Zhu was not angry at all. Instead, he felt that Xu Liuzi was straightforward and his words were humorous.
