On the morning of that day, a long queue was lined up at the Changzhou County government office, which had already restored order.

Citizens brought bronze ware, silk cloth, fragrant powder, ham, toilet, books, leather whips, candles and other items that they robbed were returned one after another.

A row of tables were placed on the right side of the eight-character wall of the county government.

The clerks and clerks who don’t know where to hide these days are registering the returned stolen goods one by one.

After registration, the county will issue a receipt to the citizens from the head. Citizens press their handprints to ensure that all the stolen goods have been returned. This can be used as a talisman to ensure that they will not be investigated for taking advantage of the situation.

Then they can go home.

On the left side of the eight-character wall, there were two or three hundred illegal people who were arrested last night and this morning.

All of these people were stripped of their heads, shaved their heads, put on wooden shackles weighing dozens or hundreds of pounds, and cried like a ball of neither human nor ghost.

They are not crying for exposing themselves, or even because the shackles are too heavy, but they cannot accept the reality of losing their hair.

My body and skin are my parents. Is it still considered human without hair?

From now on, I'll be so sensible...

Because no one except monks had shaved his head, these fools didn't realize that their hair would grow again.

The eight-character wall is one on the left and one on the right, and the contrast between width and strictness is very obvious, which shocks the citizens.

Now those who were greedy for money and didn't want to return the stolen goods were frightened, and quickly took the stolen things and ran to the county government office to line up.

As a result, it took a whole day to return the stolen goods filled the large square footage of the county yamen...

~~

Although no one from the prefect Cai returned the stolen goods, he also gained a lot.

At noon that day, more than a dozen citizens involved in the arson came from the head.

Cai Guoxi interrogated these damn arsonists in the lobby that was burned into a convertible.

Looking at the dark ruins and the darker face of my husband's ancestor, the arsonists were so scared that they were trembling. How could they hide the slightest?

Without any serious punishment, I poured beans into bamboo tubes and gave them all.

These people are indeed all accomplices who were incited. The one who really took the lead was the Xu family servants who came out of the Humble Administrator's Garden!

Although Xu Xu and the others have been deliberately hiding their identities, they are all from Suzhou, and they usually look up and see each other. After a few days of jumping up and down, there will always be people who recognize them, and then it will soon become a well-known secret...

Seeing the words of everyone, they pointed to the Xu family unanimously. The prefect Cai was so angry that his forehead was so blue.

New and old hatreds surged in his heart, he had to take revenge!

Cai Guoxi asked Chen Tongzhi to take charge of the aftermath, but he hurried to the governor's office.

~~

Governor's office, signed in the room.

Lin Zhongcheng had just returned from the inspection in the city and was considering how to write a memorial to report the civil unrest, so Cai Guoxi came to ask for a meeting.

Tian Baiguang led the seven orifices of prefect Cai in, and Lin Run asked him to sit down and talk.

"Why are you so angry?" Lin Run asked with a frown slightly.

He knew that Cai Guoxi was a famous minister of Neo-Confucianism, and he paid attention to nourishing his energy and was not angry and could not be so angry.

"You have reported to the Chief Secretary, and the officials have found out that the Xu family was instructing him behind the scenes of setting fire to the government office! This is the confession of the accomplices."

Cai Guoxi said as he stood up and presented a statement of offering with his hands full of handprints to Lin Run.

"Which Xu family?" Lin Run took it quietly and asked knowingly.

"Which other family can be found? Songjiang Xuge's hometown!" Cai Guoxi said with a resentful face: "Only his family is his courage!"

Lin Run nodded and did not answer. After carefully reading the confession, he stood up and stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the window and fell into silence.

Lin Run was not surprised at all by this result. He had long guessed that the Xu family was behind the chaos in Suzhou.

The confession submitted by Cai Guoxi now only proves his speculation.

He was worried before that whether the Gu family and Lu family would also get involved. But judging from the performance of the two families in quelling the turmoil, it was obvious that the boundaries were clearly drawn from the Xu family.

If only the Xu family is concerned, things will be easier.

~~

In Lin Run's view, the Xu family's move was nothing more than two reasons.

First, he lured the tiger away from the mountain, forcing himself to leave Songjiang and return to Suzhou.

Second, I came to shake the tiger and warned him that if he continued to persist, if he cleared the land in Songjiang, it would be chaotic at that time, and I am afraid that it would be a place in Suzhou.

Once Jiangnan was in chaos, he was afraid that he would not even be the fire captain, so he could only be transferred away after taking turns to impeachment.

This is by no means alarmist.

Lin Run knew very well that Governor Ying Tian did not have an advantage in front of a retired cabinet master with his disciples and old officials all over the world.

Even because he was promoted by Mr. Xu, he was morally at a disadvantage.

The result of the fight continues, the one who loses is probably yourself.

At this time, should we accept the warning, take a step back and expand the sky, or do we fight to the end and fight the Xu family completely?

Even Lin Run felt heavy pressure, which made him silent for a long time.

Cai Guoxi stood aside without breathing.

He could feel Lin Run's inner struggle, thinking that Zhongcheng was only 38 years old and had an extremely bright future. Could he have fought with the Xu family to the end and lost his career and reputation?

On the contrary, if Zhongcheng could take a step back, I believe the Xu family would also repay him and give Zhongcheng a step.

Just when Cai Guoxi felt sad and felt that he had no hope of avenging this, he saw the governor turn around.

After noon, the sun shone through the window, and Lin Run's face was as clear as a sculpture, making his eyes more firm and unyielding.

He looked at Cai Guoxi and said word by word: "I don't care who he is or what background he has. As long as I violate the law of the king, I must be severely punished and not loaned!"

"Yes, I understand!" Cai Guoxi immediately felt passionate, and he naturally understood that Zhongcheng was going to fight the Xu family to the end!

Then Lin Run ordered: "Immediately seal the Humble Administrator's Garden, arrest a group of arson suspects, and then report them after being severely interrogated!"

"Abide by the order!" Cai Guoxi raised his chest and responded loudly, then said with a touching look on his face: "Don't worry, Zhongcheng, your subordinates will be responsible, do what they do, and don't do what they don't."

"You don't have to worry about causing trouble for me." Lin Run did not appreciate his affection and waved his hand:

"Where is the prefect's yamen? It represents the imperial court's rule over a place of a mansion! The Xu family dared to burn it with fire, so how rampant the arrogance!"

"Don't punish the past and prevent the future, as a warning to others. In the future, Suzhou's surname is Zhu or Xu?!" As he said that, he punched the table hard and ordered:

"Give me a big fanfare, the bigger the momentum, the better! Let the people of Suzhou see who is behind the scenes."

"Zhongcheng is wise!" Cai Guoxi knew how to hear the string song. He understood that this was the prelude to the decisive battle with the Xu family. He clasped his fists at Lin Run with both hands and said, "The servant knows what to do, so let's do it!"

"Go." Lin Run nodded, watched Cai Guoxi walk away quickly, then sat back to the big case and picked up his pen to write the memorial.
Chapter completed!
