East Factory Governor

Chapter 318 Governor Wang Huazhen

Surrounded by two hundred Jinyi guards, Qin Shuhuai rushed to the Governor's Yamen aggressively.As the second-rank official of the imperial court, the governor of Zhejiang was heavily guarded inside the government office, and there were nearly a hundred soldiers guarding the gate alone.

A patrol officer headed by a long fire dragon galloped from a distance, and quickly blew the warning horn, and immediately the inside and outside of the government office heard the wind, and the guards took their positions one after another.

"Stop, who?" asked the inspector.

Without waiting for Qin Shuhuai to speak, Ji Gang took out his token and said first, "Jin Yi Wei Ning Shao Qian Hu Ji Gang has something urgent to see Master Futai."

Holding a torch, the inspector took a closer look at Ji Gang, recognized him, and said with a smile, "It turned out to be Ji Qianhu. Ji Qianhu came whenever he wanted, why did he bring so many brothers and scare the brothers?" .”

Ji Gang said coldly, "Does Ben Qianhu still want to inform you? Open the door quickly!"

The inspector pondered for a while, and said, "Master Ji, you are a bit embarrassed to bring so many people in at once. You know, this is the governor's office, not an ordinary place."

Ji Gang sneered, "What about the governor's mansion, not to mention the governor's office? I, Jin Yiwei, handle the case. Is there any place that I can't enter?"

The patrol officer's face changed slightly, and he said, "Oh? Is Ji Qianhu going to handle the case? I don't know whose case it is?"

Ji Gang shouted, "Presumptuous! Is it possible that this thousand households still have to report to you? Open the door quickly, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The patrol officer was surprised and puzzled, thinking that Ji Gang and the master have always had a good relationship, why did he suddenly change his face today?

Thinking of this, he shifted his gaze to a young man next to Ji Gang, and saw that the young man looked sixteen and seven, but stood side by side with Ji Gang impressively, and he could tell at a glance that his status was detached.

Who is he?
Just when he was confused, he only heard the young man say in a concentrated voice, "Since he is unwilling to open the door, then this person is going to make an enemy of my Jin Yiwei. Take it down!"

The inspector panicked when he heard this, and shouted, "I am the inspector of the Shaoxing government military equipment. If you want to arrest me, you have to ask Master Futai if you agree!"

Qin Shuhuai said contemptuously, "Military equipment inspection? How can you become Wang Huazhen's domestic slave? It's a disgrace to the court! Take it down!"

Seven or eight guards in Jin Yi immediately rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and the man couldn't resist, so they immediately tied him up.

The rest of the soldiers watched him being tied up, and none of them dared to say anything.They are Jin Yiwei!

Ji Gang shouted to the others, "Open the door!"

The door finally opened, more than 100 Jinyi guards were guarding outside, and another hundred Jinyi guards filed in.

Walking to the backyard, a tall man in a python suit came out accompanied by a dozen guards.He was about forty years old, with a dignified figure and an air of calmness.

This person is Wang Huazhen, the former governor of Liaodong and now the governor of Zhejiang.

Seeing Ji Gang, Wang Huazhen stepped forward and said, "Ji Qianhu visited late at night, what's the matter?"

His face was calm, and there was no sign of panic.

Ji Gang said flatly, "Lord Wang, it's not that Ben Qianhu has something to do with you, but Qin Shaobao has something to do with you."

Wang Huazhen was slightly startled, and turned to look at the young man beside Ji Gang.After hesitating for a second, he immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "It turns out that General Qin Shaobao of Pingnu is here, sorry for your disrespect."

Qin Shuhuai did not exchange greetings with him, but directly took out the imperial decree and said, "Wang Huazhen accepts the decree."

Wang Huazhen was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately knelt down, "The governor of Zhejiang, Wang Huazhen, accepts the order."

Because it was a secret decree, Qin Shuhuai did not read it aloud in public, but handed the imperial decree to Wang Huazhen.Wang Huazhen opened the secret decree and looked at it, and immediately returned it with both hands, and then said, "Your Majesty, Wang Huazhen, welcome the imperial envoy."

The secret decree said that seeing the secret decree is like seeing the emperor, so even if Wang Huazhen is an official to the governor, who is supposed to be much older than Qin Shuhuai, he still has to call himself a "lower official".

Qin Shuhuai withdrew the secret decree, smiled faintly, and said, "My lord, get up and follow me into the room to talk."

Wang Huazhen got up and hurriedly led Qin Shuhuai into the inner hall.

Ji Gang and the others consciously stood outside the house and waited. There were only Qin Shuhuai and Wang Huazhen in the house.

Wang Huazhen first said, "Qin Shaobao is a hero, he quelled the slaves in one fell swoop in the crisis, turned the tide and saved the people from the fire and water, and the officials admire him so much. I have long wanted to see Shaobao's demeanor. I don't want Shaobao to come to the mansion today. It’s really a blessing to be an official.”

Qin Shuhuai chuckled, and said, "Master Wang is being polite. When he was the governor of Liaodong, didn't he also do his best to fight against Jiannu? How can you say that Sir Wang also led his troops to resist for a day?"

Wang Huazhen's face darkened immediately, why couldn't he hear that Qin Shuhuai was mocking him?
But he was an imperial envoy, so he didn't dare to get angry, so he had to take a sip of tea to cover up his embarrassment.

Qin Shuhuai continued, "But having said that, I can't blame you. It is said that there were traitors in Shenyang City back then, which led to such a rapid defeat, isn't it?"

"Eh... Qin Shaobao clearly learned that it is true."

"Of course, back then Shenyang City wasn't all traitors, there were also many loyal people. For example, the guerrilla general Wang Baochang, right?"

Wang Huazhen nodded, "Yes. General Wang Baochang resisted desperately. When he broke out from the encirclement, he was already covered in blood. This man is a rare general in my Ming Dynasty."

"Then where is he now?"

"He served as a general under Yang He, the governor of the three sides, and he has made great achievements in these years."

"Oh, on the three sides." Qin Shuhuai smiled playfully, "I must pay a visit when I have time, I respect the most loyal and righteous people in my life."

Wang Huazhen didn't know what Qin Shuhuai meant by going around and saying these things, but he had no choice but to chat with him.

At this moment, Qin Shuhuai said, "Lord Wang, do you know a man named Zhao Xinian?"

Wang Huazhen's pupils shrank suddenly, and these three words hit his heart like three heavy hammers.

But his face was still as calm as before, and he said lightly, "Is this Zhao Xinian a friend of Shaobao? I have never heard of it."

"So, Lord Wang doesn't know about the Zhao family's massacre?"

"It's a bit of a rumor, but the tragedy happened in Suzhou Prefecture, which is under the jurisdiction of the governor of Jiangsu, so the lower officials didn't know about it."

Qin Shuhuai was calm and continued, "That's right. There's someone named Wang Jin, do you know him?"

Wang Huazhen was silent for a while, then said, "He is the nephew of a subordinate official, Qin Shaobao knows him?"

"I don't know him, but someone knows him and knows a lot about him." As he spoke, Qin Shuhuai took out an account book from his pocket, handed it to Wang Huazhen, and said, "The last few pages of this account book have Seal the love letter, there are a lot of things about him written on it, Mr. Wang, take a look, is this person talking nonsense?"
