After she got off the bus at her stop, Jiang Guoping also got off and followed her all the way. She mistakenly thought they were going the same way, and although she felt very scared, she still did not call for help or ask for help from others.

Later, when they arrived at her residence, Jiang Guoping followed her in when she opened the door, tied her up, and raped her. The process was extremely complicated and exciting, and she described it in great detail.

"Oh?" Lin Hai raised his eyebrows, becoming interested. "How detailed is it?"

Zhang Jinnan said helplessly, "It's probably around 30,000 words. She wrote this paragraph down, had hundreds of copies copied, and distributed them on the streets. Curious people took it home and read it themselves, then continued to copy and distribute it. Some even approached our newly built printing house, hoping to have it printed on a large scale."

"Oh~~" Lin Hai nodded, indicating that he understood, and said, "In order to better understand the case, please send me a copy as well."

"Your Majesty! Now is not the time to discuss this. She has even hired dozens of storytellers to spin this story into a joke and broadcast it in teahouses at major market intersections. Apart from anything else, the number of customers in the teahouses has increased several times over during this period, and even our tax revenue has increased significantly."

"So? Because of this, you're afraid to judge the case?"

"Yes. Although we all know this is a false accusation, the woman has already spread the word that officials protect each other. The government will definitely sentence her to a false accusation, but she is determined to speak out about this matter even if it damages her reputation, just to prevent more sisters from being hurt. She is not doing this for herself, but for all the sisters. So if we really rule that she is a false accuser..."

Zhang Jinnan said as he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"oh."

"Your Majesty, please don't worry about it. This matter is very troublesome. Many ignorant people in the rear have been incited. Some people even gathered at the entrance of the Ministry of National Defense, demanding the recall of Jiang Guoping and an investigation."

Lin Hai smiled. It was indeed the era of cold weapons, with simple folk customs. Even such a small essay full of loopholes could force court officials to ask the emperor for help.

But it's a good thing to think about it. This shows that the rule of law in Qinghe that he has always demanded has begun to show results. Otherwise, according to the usual behavior of the government in this world, this woman would have been put in jail long ago, regardless of whether she made a false accusation or not.

"Do the people believe what she said?"

"The woman said that no girl would use her innocence to frame someone, so it must be true. The people all believed it."

"Oh, but I don't believe it. I don't believe what she said, nor do I believe that she is innocent."

Lin Hai made a joke and continued:

"Then it's obvious that there's more than one Jinyiwei from the Chen Dynasty at work. Think about it carefully. The people's fear of the government hasn't been going away for a day or two. Even though our government appears to be more approachable, the people's fear of it has been passed down for countless generations. You can get them to go to a teahouse and listen to gossip, but I'm afraid no one would dare to attack the Ministry of National Defense. I bet the people who were besieging it were hired by the Jinyiwei, or even Jinyiwei themselves."

Lin Hai changed his name and seemed to be getting down to business.

"Give Wang Zuo a heads-up. If this is the case, it's not just the Supervisory Department's responsibility. Get all the remaining personnel from the Intelligence Department mobilized. The Jinyiwei have been around for hundreds of years. We can't expect to catch them all with the last trick. There must be some that slipped through the net. Now the Chen Dynasty must have sent them new handlers, so they're moving again."

Lin Hai twisted his waist to make it feel better after not moving for a long time, then lay down again and continued:

"First, get the printing house to agree to print for her. They'll charge a high fee, but they'll just keep delaying the printing. Well, tell her that there's no precedent for private printing in this dynasty, so it'll cost a lot of money. I want to see how much funding the Jinyiwei has. The money I receive will be used as a subsidy for the research and development of the printing house's equipment.

Secondly, send someone to investigate the storytellers. If they are innocent, warn them not to tell stories anymore. If they refuse to listen, pack them up and send them to the front lines, saying that I want to hear storytelling at the front lines. Once they arrive, they will all be assigned to the death squad. If there are any problems, they are Jinyiwei members, and they will all be dealt with.

Then, they would ask someone to write some jokes and act out some drama to muddy the waters. For example, they would say that General Jiang Guoping was admired by many girls, and many of them were unable to get him, so they turned their love into hatred and spread rumors that they had an affair with the general, with the purpose of greed for wealth and fame and climbing up the social ladder.

For example, General Jiang Guoping actually liked men, so he stayed in the army and was rarely seen on weekdays.

For example, General Jiang Guoping fought too hard on the front line, and the people of the Chen Dynasty hated him so much that they sent people to slander him.

For example, let's find a brothel owner who pulls a woman out on the street and says she's a prostitute who sold her body to him. Later, when we shut down the brothel, the woman ran away with the brothel owner's property. Well, have the brothel owner tell the story of how she used to take this woman to clients. The story should be at least 30,000 words long.

If all else fails, then find a shabby guy with two kids, claiming to be the woman's husband and kids. The woman ran away because she despised the poor and loved the rich, and now her husband's family is looking for her...

In a word, there must be all kinds of true and false.

Let Xue Tao handle this matter. She had similar experience in her previous job.

"Xue Tao? Last job?"

Zhang Jinnan was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"His Majesty?"

"Um?"

"When it comes to Yan'er being bad, it has to be you."

"Shut up."

"As you wish."

"Let the storytellers tell the story according to our version. Once the people's attention is drawn to us, we can tell them something else so that they gradually forget about it.
