At this moment, a burst of neat footsteps came from the distance.
A group of Jingzhao Yamen servants ran over carrying a large blue and white sedan.
When the sedan came down, a fat man came down from the top and was sweating profusely. He was wiping it with a handkerchief, but he couldn't stop the sweat from his forehead still dripping down.
When he saw so many people gathered on the street, he was slightly startled, but he didn't pay too much attention.
But when he saw Zhao Xiaole standing not far away, he suddenly trembled, ran over and saluted, "Your Majesty Zhu Yuxin, I have met the Marquis!"
Zhao Xiaole glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Master Zhu came so quickly! By the time you arrive, I guess all the prisoners will have escaped, right?"
The sweat on Zhu Yuxin's head was pouring down even more, and she said with a trembling voice: "I hope the Marquis will atone for his sins. It is true that there are heavy affairs in the Yamen today, and the official came here as soon as he was notified!"
"The yamen has heavy affairs?"
Zhao Xiaole raised his eyebrows, feeling that something was wrong. How could things be such a coincidence? As soon as something happened here, things became heavy at the Yamen over there?
His face darkened and he asked, "Are there more and more cases of Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce's fraud causing casualties?"
Hearing this, Zhu Yuxin glanced at Zhao Xiaole in surprise, then nodded and whispered: "That's right, just today, I received more than a dozen cases..."
"Master Marquis, what are you and Mr. Zhu discussing? Can we all listen too?"
Just when Zhu Yuxin and Zhao Xiaole were whispering, a loud voice sounded, as if they were afraid that others wouldn't hear.
Zhao Xiaole glanced over coldly and saw Lu Kai saying expressionlessly: "If the matter discussed by the Marquis and Master Zhu is related to this case, I think it should be made public!"
"Because only in this way can we, as the Marquis said, clear Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce's innocence and find out the real murderer behind the scenes!"
"Master Lu?"
Hearing the sound, Zhu Yuxin also came over, but when he saw who it was, he screamed in surprise. He didn't expect Lu Kai to be here.
Thinking about today's events again, he instantly understood a few things.
Suddenly his eyes looked anxious and at a loss.
Because if this matter is made public, it will be a major blow to the reputation of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.
The president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is Zhao Xiaole's fiancée. As a celebrity around the prince, how could he dare to offend Zhao Xiaole?
But if he hadn't said it out loud, being disturbed by Lu Kai would immediately make him feel guilty.
So now he is very confused.
While he was struggling, he heard Zhao Xiaole chuckle and say: "What Lu Shangshu said makes sense. In that case, Mr. Zhu, tell everyone what you know!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yuxin immediately looked up at Zhao Xiaole in surprise, wondering whether he was telling the truth or a lie.
Can this matter really be brought to light?
But he saw that Zhao Xiaole nodded slightly towards him with a calm face, as if he was not worried at all about the consequences of speaking out about this matter.
This made him ponder for a while, and he no longer hesitated in his heart, and said directly: "Reporting to the Marquis, I have just received a report that there are more than a dozen cases where customers are suspected of having food poisoning due to the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce selling fake goods.
Incidents of poisoning and casualties occurred and required urgent treatment, so it came too late!"
Wow!
As soon as these words came out, the people in the audience were shocked.
A dozen casualties are a dozen lives!
Maybe even more!
At this moment, everyone's contradictions pointed at the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.
After all, although the matter has become more confusing due to what happened just now, the suspicion has not been cleared after all, so the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is still the primary target of suspicion.
"What? More than a dozen murders happened?!"
Lu Kai exclaimed, his beard trembling with anger and said: "Qin Sining, what else do you have to say now?"
"You, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, are already the largest chamber of commerce in Jingyang, but you still do this kind of counterfeiting, deceiving the people, and making huge profits. Now you have even killed people!"
"How can I allow you, such heartless and inhumane businessmen, to still exist in this world? I'm going to seal up the entire Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce!"
The government officials behind him immediately looked at each other and hesitated to move forward.
We only have this few people on our side, but the other side has so many people. If we want to seize the other side, how can we seize them?
Lu Kai suddenly frowned and asked, "What? You don't even dare to go? Humph!"
He immediately snorted coldly and said with a righteous face: "Since you don't dare to go, then I will go in person. You are afraid of the authority of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, but I am not!"
I have to say that if we look at future generations, Lu Kai would have been a great actor.
His performance was so good that even Zhao Xiaole couldn't help but want to clap and applaud him.
That expression and those words were really like a good official who was dedicated to the people and not afraid of power, and launched a charge against a powerful person like Zhao Xiaole.
Although there was no mention of Zhao Xiaole in his words, he was inseparable from Zhao Xiaole in every sentence.
Because in everyone's eyes, the biggest backer of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is Zhao Xiaole!
So now everyone's fingers are pointed at Zhao Xiaole.
Even Zhu Yuxin didn't understand why Zhao Xiaole asked him to tell this matter. Isn't this causing trouble for himself?
Qin Sining also looked at Zhao Xiaole nervously, but was not afraid.
Because she understood that since Zhao Xiaole dared to do this, he must have his reasons and his solutions!
Sure enough, Zhao Xiaole looked at Lu Kai with a meaningful look on his face and said: "Haha, Mr. Lu didn't even investigate this matter. He just concluded that it must be the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce based on someone's report. He is really anxious!"
"I don't think you want to make decisions for these people, but you have a guilty conscience and want to kill the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce quickly?"
A flash of anger suddenly flashed in Lu Kai's eyes, and he stared at Zhao Xiaole with piercing eyes: "You said that I have a guilty conscience and slandered the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, do you have any evidence?!"
"Hmph! You want a certificate? Well, I will give you the certificate!"
Zhao Xiaole, on the other hand, sneered and stopped showing any favor to Lu, and started tit-for-tat.
Now that Lu Kai had broken his skin first, he would not be so cowardly as to please the other party and do such thankless things.
Seeing this, Lu Kai no longer had any scruples, and said sarcastically: "I would like to see how the Marquis proves that this matter has nothing to do with the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce!"
