I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 72 Panic
Hu Zongxian didn't waste too much time either, he handed over all the affairs of the Governor's Mansion to Xu Wei, his aide. During this period, countless people wanted to inquire about some confessions from Hu Zongxian through insinuating ways. In order to prepare in advance, but all failed.

The next day, Hu Zongxian embarked on the road to the capital to report his duties, and his every move also affected the hearts of countless senior officials in the capital.

Capital, Yan Mansion.

Yan Shifan took the letter from his subordinates, looked flustered, and hurriedly knocked on the door of his father Yan Song's room.

"Father, the child has something important to report."

"Come in." Yan Song's calm voice came from the room.

"Father, something is wrong! His Majesty sent someone to send an oral order to Hu Zongxian, asking him to return to Beijing to report on his duties after obtaining the exact confession. He is already on his way now, and our people have not learned anything from him. .”

"Do you think you really found something? Yang Jinshui, the chief eunuch of the Weaving Bureau, is crazy, not to mention he is Lu Fang's godson!" Yan Shifan hesitated for a moment, and gave his own thoughts.

"Well, I can't rule out this possibility. By the way, the people under your command didn't find out anything?" Yan Song couldn't help frowning after hearing his son's description, and his tone was not as indifferent as before.

"No, they wrote to me, asking what to do next." Yan Shifan didn't dare to meet his father's eyes, and silently lowered his head.

"Look at those people you used, they are all trash! They can't even handle such trivial matters well, and they can't spread any news."

Seeing his father reprimanding him, Yan Shifan had no choice but to admit his mistake, and asked his father what to do next.

"Go and inform them, you must keep your mouth shut! Regardless of whether Hu Zongxian has found out anything, as long as he doesn't open his mouth indiscriminately, there is still room for relaxation. If they can't handle the trick, then there is no need for them to exist." gone."

After thinking for a while, Yan Song gave an answer that is the safest and least error-prone at the moment.

"Yes, baby, let's do it now."

After Yan Shifan got a temporary countermeasure from his father, he left without stopping.

When his son left, Yan Song looked restless and kept pacing in the room.

Ever since he overthrew his former Chief Assistant Xia Yan, it had been a long time since he felt that this kind of thing was out of his control. Right now, he couldn't find any exact news through various channels. Without accurate information, how could he talk about action?
Yan Song felt like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered at this moment, he could only curl up in the sheepfold, waiting for the last butcher knife to fall.

"Hu Ruzhen, Hu Ruzhen, I hope you can remember a little bit of the relationship between master and apprentice, don't let me down..."

Yan Song stopped pacing, his eyes were deep, thinking so in his heart.

……

At the same time, Yan Song's old opponent Xu Jie also looked nervous.

"How? Have you heard the exact news?"

When Xu Jie saw the person who had gone to inquire about the news come in, he hurriedly asked.

"My lord, when Governor Hu tried the case, he was the only one at the scene, and the rest were not allowed to enter. We have not been able to find out any definite information."

"What about Yang Jinshui, is he really crazy?" Xu Jie followed up and asked.

"My lord, Yang Jinshui seems to be really crazy."

"When did Hu Zongxian leave?"

"My lord, after Hu Zongxian left all the affairs of the Governor's Mansion in the hands of his staff member Xu Wei yesterday, he set off!"

"Okay, you go down."

After Xu Jie asked about the news, he waved his hand and sent him away.

"Did they find out?" Xu Jie drank the tea in his cup and thought hard.

"Come on, prepare the sedan chair, and go to Prince Yu's Mansion!"

……

Forbidden City, Xiyuan.

When Jiajing was taking a leisurely walk, Lu Fang walked quickly from behind and said softly.

"Your Majesty, there is news. Elder Yan Ge and Elder Xu Ge both sent a large number of people to find out the exact news, but they all returned in vain."

"Well, Hu Zongxian did a good job on this point. Keep paying attention, and report to me as soon as there is news! I want to see what tricks they can play."

"Yes, this servant obeys." Lu Fang bowed and left after conveying the news to Jiajing.

"Order the imperial dining room to prepare meals. I'm a little hungry." Jiajing waved his hand and instructed the guards beside him.

"Yes."

……

Zhejiang, Chun'an County.

After Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Province, personally ordered, all the relief supplies that originally belonged to Chun'an County were quickly replenished. On the street, government porridge shops were gradually set up, and there was an endless stream of people queuing up to receive porridge.

"Let me tell you, if it wasn't for my new magistrate of Chun'an County, Mr. Hai Ruihai, we would all be dead!" said an old man in the queue for porridge.

"That's right, the magistrate of Jiande County is really abominable. He even usurped the share of our Chun'an County. If you want me to say, he should be punished according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty!"

"What nonsense are you talking about, how dare you talk about the county magistrate, don't you want to live?"

"It was supposed to be..."

Because Hai Rui led the disaster victims in Chun'an County to the Governor's Mansion to kneel down and seek justice for them, this action won him the support of the people of Chun'an County at a very fast speed, and at the same time offended a large number of people. official.

"Hmph, what does this Hai Rui mean? He openly brought the disaster victims to the governor's mansion to make trouble, and even yelled for the governor to give him justice. In my opinion, this is completely a deceitful person. The purpose is to win a reputation for himself. Qing Ming, don’t you think so?”

"If I were the governor, I'd punish him on the spot for disturbing the order of the government and being unworthy of an official! Let him crawl back to the county government office in Chun'an County."

"Hahaha." There was another burst of laughter.

"Is it true that Hai Rui is the only upright official in the Ming Dynasty? If we want to be clean and honest, those of us here won't give in too much, will we?"

"Yes, yes, let's drink!"

"drink!"

After Hai Rui was busy with government work, he returned exhausted to his home in Hangzhou City, a very ordinary small courtyard.

As soon as Hai Rui entered, his wife, Wang Shi, greeted him with a distressed look on her face.

"Come in, are you busy these days? You haven't been home for three days and three nights! Are you living in the county office these days?"

"Blame me, I forget the time when I get busy." Hai Rui sat down to meet his wife's reproachful gaze.

"What smells so good?" Hai Rui just sat down on the table, sniffed lightly, and smelled a fragrance from the direction of the kitchen.

"You are lucky to come back today! This is a gift from someone before." Wang explained, with a smile on his face.

"What? Who gave it away! What did they give away?" Hai Rui stood up abruptly from his seat with a very serious tone.

Seeing that her husband was so nervous, Mrs. Wang couldn't help being taken aback, and quickly explained: "He said he was an old friend of yours, and he came to see him specially, and he also asked someone to bring some meat and some gifts. I can't catch up with him, just now..."

"I remember that I don't have any old friends here. Could it be that someone wants to frame me?" Hai Rui asked in a low voice after listening to his wife's description.

"Ah, what should I do then!" Mrs. Wang was taken aback by the expression on her husband's face, which was full of eagerness.

"Take me to see those things."

"Well, you come with me, it's over there."

When Hai Rui followed his wife to the place where the things were stored, he realized that they were just some very ordinary things. Seeing this, Hai Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

"You, it's better to change your jealous temper, otherwise I will be scared every day!"

"Jade can be shattered, but its whiteness cannot be changed. Bamboo can be burned, but its integrity cannot be destroyed. Although the body dies, the name can hang on the bamboo and silk. Besides, I am doing this for the people to live better, so what if I offend them? Just be careful."
