I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 200 Search the whole city
After Yan Song and Xu Jie reported to Jiajing, they were so nervous that they didn't even dare to breathe.

After Jiajing listened to the report of the two, he laughed angrily, and responded, "How can such a coincidence happen in this world? I just said that I want to abolish the artisanship, and then such a big thing happened."

"Let me check, I want to see who is instigating behind the scenes! Don't let anyone involved be let go."

Seeing the emperor's anger, Yan Song and Xu Jie, who were kneeling on the ground, panicked even more!And they also hated the group of carpenters who rose up to make trouble.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best to bring these traitors to justice as soon as possible!"

Immediately, Xu Jie stood up and assured Jiajing.

"Well, you go down."

Hearing Xu Jie's assurance, the expression on Jiajing's face eased a lot, then he nodded and ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will leave now!"

With anxiety in mind, the two left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Lu Fang, you go and send Jin Yiwei to investigate this matter for me and see if anyone is behind the scenes."

After Yan Song and Xu Jie left, the furious look on Jiajing's face disappeared instantly, and then he calmly gave instructions to Lu Fang who was beside him.

"The slaves obey."

After receiving Jiajing's order, Lu Fang quickly left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After Lu Fang left, Jiajing was the only one left in the huge Hall of Mental Cultivation.

I saw him caressing the dragon head carved on the dragon chair, and silently said to himself: "Yan Song, Xu Jie, if this matter is related to you, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

On the other hand, since Yan Song and Xu Jie left, the remaining three people in the cabinet also began to speculate on the cause of the matter.

"In my opinion, this incident was an accident. After all, those craftsmen have been oppressed for a long time! Are you right?"

Yan Shifan didn't make any cover-ups, and directly expressed his thoughts.

"Hmph, it's a fact that those artisans were bullied, but the timing of the accident is too coincidental!"

"Your Majesty was just about to abolish the craftsman's registration, but such a big incident happened on the back foot. It's hard not to suspect that someone is obstructing it, trying to prevent His Majesty from abolishing the craftsman's registration!"

Zhang Juzheng on the side frowned tightly and put forward his own ideas.

"Yeah, the timing of the accident is really a coincidence!"

After Gao Gong got up and poured himself a cup of hot tea, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Wait, now that the capital is under martial law, those carpenters can't escape very far."

After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he continued to concentrate on processing the previous memorials.

……

"Have you found any traces of those carpenters?"

Inside the government office, Ding Shichang looked at his subordinates who hurried back, and asked.

"Report to the magistrate, we haven't found any traces of this group of people yet, but..."

Facing Ding Shichang's question, the subordinate had no choice but to stammer and reply.

"Then why are you coming back? Continue to investigate for me! If you can't find out the whereabouts of this group of people, don't come back!"

"Where are the people from Wucheng Bingmasi? Let them also search together! Even if you search door to door for me, you have to find them."

"If you can't find this group of people, I will ask you guys at that time!"

After Ding Shichang listened to his subordinate's report, he was instantly furious and said word by word.

"Yes, my lord, this subordinate will take people to continue looking for it, and definitely bring these carpenters to justice!"

Ding Shichang's subordinates, with panic all over their faces, left the government office after hastily responding.

"Report to Mr. Fu Yin, Wu Zuo has already got results."

At this moment, the subordinate who had been sent to examine the corpse came back to report.

"Oh, how did these officials die?"

When Ding Shichang heard the words, he couldn't help asking.

"Report to Mr. Fu Yin, these officials were killed before the fire started! There is no smoke and dust left in the mouth and nose, and the specific cause of death is that their throats were cut with a saw."

Seeing the boss's questioning, the visitor quickly responded respectfully.

"Well, have you notified the family members of these people?"

After Ding Shichang learned the exact cause of death, he also nodded, and then asked.

"Report to Mr. Fu Yin, their families have been notified."

Upon seeing this, the visitor responded respectfully.

……

"What happened? Why are there so many officers and soldiers on the street?"

A passer-by called to stop the vendor who was in a hurry to close his stall and asked.

"Hey, you don't know yet? Something big happened in the capital!"

The vendor glanced at the visitor rather strangely, his hands kept moving, and then he replied.

"Oh, what's the big deal?"

Seeing the mysterious look of the street vendor, the pedestrian's curiosity was completely aroused, and he continued to ask questions.

"Hush, let me tell you in secret, some carpenters in the capital rebelled! Not only did they kill the officials, they even burned down the handicraft workshops run by the imperial court!"

Seeing that the things were almost packed, the vendor looked around and explained to the visitor after seeing that no one was paying attention.

"What? These craftsmen are so bold!"

Pedestrians were quite surprised when they heard the news from the vendors.

"Let me tell you, stop wandering on the street, and be careful not to be caught by the government as a suspect!"

After the vendor gave such a warning, he quickly left.

The passers-by looked aside and saw vendors busy closing their stalls everywhere, and thought to themselves: "It seems that today is not a good time to go out, let's go home and stay!"

After making up their minds, the pedestrians didn't dare to stay any longer, and quickly left.

And not far away, the subordinate staff of the government took the roster and began to search from house to house. The name, place of origin, and appearance characteristics of this group of carpenters were recorded in the roster.

"Open the door, open the door, the government is arresting the criminal!"

The official in charge patted the door and said loudly.

After a while, only a 'squeak' was heard, and the door was slowly opened.

Immediately, a man in rough linen clothes with a flattering expression showed his figure, looked at the leading official, and asked.

"My lord, what happened, such a big battle?"

"Don't ask if you shouldn't, open the door and let us in!"

The official in charge frowned impatiently, and then said.

"My lord, how could there be a wanted criminal here? Besides, my wife is about to give birth. Look..."

The person who came said that, as before, he stuffed some broken silver into the hands of the leading officials without any trace.

"Okay, you actually dared to bribe an official in broad daylight, come and take him down!"

The leader of the official immediately grabbed the hand he wanted to take back, and then ordered so to the subordinates behind him.

"Yes, my lord!"

After receiving the command from the chief, the soldiers behind them swarmed up to control the people in the future.

"My lord, I am wronged! My lord!"

Seeing this, the man in coarse sackcloth wanted to quibble, but his mouth was quickly blocked by the smelly socks he found from nowhere, and he could no longer speak.

"Hmph, this man is sneaky, there must be something in it!"

"Brothers, be careful, if we are the first to discover the traces of those carpenters, we will have made great achievements!"

The leading official forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and ordered so.

"Yes, my lord!"

Seeing this, the soldiers behind them also pulled out their long knives from their waists and began to be on guard.

"Later, I'll count one, two, three, and when I count to three, we'll rush in together!"

"one two Three!"

After the leading official finished speaking, he kicked the door open, and the soldiers behind him rushed in.

"Who are you, what do you want to do? Ah!"

Soon, all the people inside were controlled, but when the head official took out the booklet for comparison, he found that none of them matched.

"My lord, there are many children locked up in the backyard!"

After a while, the subordinate who was in charge of searching the yard also came to report.

"Hmph, after a long time of trouble, it turned out to be a human trafficker!"

After the leading official finished speaking, he spat on the ground in disgust.

"Forget it, take all these people back to the prison, and bring these children back to the government office, we have made meritorious service today!"

"Yes, my lord!"

After the soldiers behind him responded, they immediately escorted the group of traffickers to the prison.

And in the dark, there has been a pair of eyes silently watching all this, and he is Ren Shiwang.
