I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 21
After Jiajing read the contents of the memorial, he was not as furious as Hu Zongxian had expected, but calm and cold.

I saw Jiajing casually throwing the memorial aside and calling softly: "Lu Fang!"

"The servant is here."

"Look at this memorial. This is the memorial that Hu Zongxian presented directly to me." Jiajing sighed, and then pointed his index finger at the memorial on the table.

After hearing Jiajing's order, Lu Fang didn't dare to delay, and quickly stepped forward to open the memorial, but the content on it made him pale with shock.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Fang knelt down on the ground after reading it, with a sad expression.

"Let Jin Yiwei investigate this matter, no matter who is involved, let's deal with it together." Jiajing's tone was full of exhaustion.

"Yes, this slave is taking orders." After Lu Fang finished speaking, she bowed and left, her steps were not as steady as before, and she almost tripped on the ground.

That night, several eunuchs died strangely and suddenly.

……

Zhejiang, Zhejiang Governor's Mansion.

Hu Zongxian looked at Gao Hanwen who was kneeling in front of him, and frowned indiscernibly.

"Governor, I am Gao Hanwen! I was recommended by the elder Xiaoge to work in the Governor's Mansion of Zhejiang Province."

Because he has not officially assumed office yet, Gao Hanwen did not wear an official uniform, but still dressed as a scholar.

"Oh? You are Yan Shifan's student." Hu Zongxian picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"My lord, Yan Shifan, the elder of Xiaoge, is the teacher of the students." Gao Hanwen replied respectfully.

"Did they send you here to measure the land and prepare for changing rice to mulberry next year?"

"My lord, it is true."

After asking the reason clearly, Hu Zongxian got up from the chair with a warm smile on his face and helped Gao Hanwen up. After looking him up and down, he encouraged him aloud: "Hanwen, I hope you can work hard in the future, mostly for the people of Zhejiang. Think about it!"

"Subordinates respectfully follow the instructions of the governor!"

"You are exhausted from the journey, go down and rest first, and I will introduce my colleagues to you later."

"Thank you, Lord Governor!"

In the home of Shen Yishi, the richest man in Zhejiang, He Maocai, the inspector, Zheng Michang, the chief minister, and Yang Jinshui, the chief eunuch of the Weaving Bureau, gathered together to taste tea.

"Everyone, please!"

Shen Yishi was wearing ragged clothes, holding a rotten porcelain bowl, and saluted everyone.

He Maocai covered the tea bowl in the bowl and brewed it, then took a sip, his eyes lit up: "The taste is sweet, the aftertaste is long, and there is a hint of bitterness, it's really good tea!"

"This is the first batch of Shifeng Longjing this year, but the output is not much."

"If the adults want it, I will send someone to the house." Shen Yishi picked up the rotten porcelain bowl and drank all the water in the bowl.

"We're not in a hurry, it's just..." Zheng Michang said, slowly elongating his tone.

"Due to the low production of Longjing this year, I gave two catties to Lu Gonggong in the palace, two catties each to Mr. Yan Ge and Mr. Xiao Ge, and one catty to each of the adults present, and I kept the rest for myself to drink. "Shen Yishi put the broken porcelain bowl on the table and said with a smile.

"I said you, you are the richest man in Zhejiang, and you still live in such a mess, wearing rags, and using rotten porcelain bowls!" After listening to Shen Yishi's words, He Maocai smiled and joked.

"I'm used to it. I wore ragged clothes when I was a child, and I can't change it." Shen Yishi didn't take He Maocai's words to heart, but explained with a smile.

Yang Jinshui, who had been sipping tea in silence, said, "The Weaving Bureau received an order for 50 pieces of silk this year. I wonder if Boss Shen can take it."

Shen Yishi pondered in his mind for a moment, and then gave the answer: "I, Shen, currently only have more than 8000 looms, and the most important thing for making silk is silk. If the supply of silk is sufficient, I will cooperate with other loom operators, and the looms will be more than 36 pieces." It can reach more than [-] sheets, and if it is processed day and night, it can produce about [-] bolts of silk."

After hearing this, Yang Jinshui looked distressed: "At present, there are still about [-] pieces of silk in the Weaving Bureau's inventory, which means there is still a shortfall of [-] pieces."

"When the policy of changing rice to mulberry is implemented next year, half of the farmland in Zhejiang will be changed to mulberry, and the supply of silk should increase, and the order will definitely be completed by then." Zheng Michang on the side also gave his own opinion.

"Besides, Elder Xiaoge personally sent someone down to check the fields in Zhejiang. What's the name of that person?"

"It seems to be called Gao Hanwen, right? It is said that he is still a student of Mr. Xiaoge!"

"That's right, that's Gao Hanwen!"

……

"My lord, Qi Jiguang came to report that Jin Yiwei sent people to take the pirate leader Xu Hai away last night."

"Well, I see, you go down."

At this moment, in Jinyiwei Prison, there was a dead silence.

Xu Hai was fixed on the chair and couldn't move. He hadn't slept all night, and whenever he felt sleepy, a basin of cold water would wake him up.

It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the temperature at night was extremely low, and Xu Hai was only wearing a single piece of clothing. The water-soaked clothes stuck to his body wetly, which not only failed to keep warm, but also made people feel colder.

Xu Hai's lips were blue and purple, and his expression was in a daze. Jinyiwei didn't torture him, but sent someone to watch him, and poured a bucket of cold water on him when he wanted to sleep.

"Is there anything to say?" Just as Xu Hai was in a trance, a voice came from outside the room.

Xu Hai's lips that were blue and purple from the cold moved, but he didn't make any sound.

"Continue pouring, the Commander will come over later!"

"Yes." The person in charge of guarding Xu Hai took the order, and immediately poured another bucket of cold water on his head. Xu Hai became colder and lost consciousness instantly.

"Wake him up, as long as he doesn't die!" Seeing the prisoner fainted, a cold voice came.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" An indescribable severe pain woke Xu Hai from his coma, and the severe pain also awakened his originally trance-conscious mind. Then he opened his eyes and saw a picture full of Playful face: "Are you awake?"

This is the Jin Yiwei who is in charge of guarding him.

Xu Hai turned his head to one side, and said nothing.

"Hey hey, since we're awake, let's have fun, I like you the most stubborn!"

"It's all you Japanese pirates that made me sleepless all night! I'll beat you to death, bastard."

After all, the whip dipped in chili water was whipped hard on Xu Hai's body. Every time the whip was whipped, a deep blood mark would be left on his body. The burning pain from the wound made Xu Hai almost tear his teeth. Crushed.

"Oh? You can still persist. Let's wait until I pull out all your teeth and see what you can bite with." After finishing speaking, he began to search for tools in the cell.

After a while, a tool in the shape of a pair of pliers was taken into his hands. The tool was covered with blood and rust, and it seemed that it hadn't been cleaned for a long time. He opened Xu Hai's mouth forcefully, fixed the pliers, and then pushed it out forcefully. With a pull, a yellowed tooth flew out, blood pouring out.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Under the dazed expression, the sudden sharp pain became clearer, Xu Hai couldn't hold on any longer, and screamed out.

"This is the first one, don't worry, let me count, there are 28 left!"

The visitor grinned, opened Xu Hai's mouth again, fixed the pliers, and pulled out forcefully, another tooth flew out, Xu Hai almost passed out from the pain.

"I heard that you still have a few family members hiding there, don't worry, our Jinyiwei has sent people to pick them up overnight, and you will be able to reunite with your family soon. When the time comes, the men will be raised as pigs, and the women will be sold. Brothel, what do you think?"

"It's none of their business! They don't know anything!" Xu Hai was in a hurry, and when he thought about the safety of his family, he was in a panic.

"No, no, of course it does matter. Since they are your family members, they must have enjoyed all kinds of benefits on the surface or in the dark. Don't they cost money for the clothes they wear and the food they eat in their bowls?"

"Don't touch them, I'll recruit! I'll recruit them all!"
