Jinling, the yamen of the governor of Zhejiang.

Zhao Wenhua looked at the secret letter that Yan Song ordered someone to send over eight hundred miles urgently, and his hands couldn't stop trembling.

He knew that he had planted it, and this time, he was dead!

Yang Cong was so shameless as to order someone to forge official documents and confessions, which not only Yan Song didn't expect, but he didn't expect it.

However, even if they knew that the official documents and confessions were forged, and the official documents and confessions were indeed forged, what he did was true, and they could not stand up to investigation at all.

He knows quite well that there is nothing to talk about at all, once he pulls it up, not only will he be planted, but he will even implicate Yan Song above.

He knew it, and Yan Song naturally knew better.

Yan Song, the old fox, even if it is a secret letter, does not mention the filthiness between the two in the letter, but only reproaches him in the tone of an elder, he should not bully the king, he should not fornicate with the pirates, and he should not order someone to pretend to be pirates and the pirates to cause trouble.

The meaning of this is already obvious, you deceive the king, fornicate with the Japanese invaders, and even order people to pretend to be pirates and the emperor already knows about the troubled places of the pirates, hurry up, give Lao Tzu to death!

Nima!

You let me die, why don't you die, you old fellow, if you hadn't come up with these bad ideas, would I be where I am today?

Zhao Wenhua scolded with hatred in his heart, but he didn't dare to really do anything to Yan Song, and he didn't even dare to sue Yan Song and shake out the good things he had done.

Because he knew that if he dared to do this, not only would he be finished, but his Zhao family and even Yuyao Xie's family would be finished, Yan Song would definitely retaliate like crazy, and none of his family would want to run away.

In fact, if he deceives the king, fornicates with the Japanese bandits, and even orders people to pretend to be pirates and pirates to cause trouble, it is also necessary to connect the family, Yan Song's meaning in writing this letter is to let him quickly break it off on his own, not to implicate his family, let alone the people above.

In other words, Jiajing already knew that he had deceived the king, fornicated with the Japanese bandits, and even ordered people to pretend to be pirates and pirates to cause trouble in the place, even if he died, what was the use?

Could it be that if he died, these sins would be forgiven?

Could it be that if he died, his family would not be implicated?

It depends on how he dies!

In recent years, there have been many ways to die officials.

There are those who have done their best and died of exhaustion in office;

There are those who evade responsibility and commit suicide in fear of crime;

Some fell ill suddenly and died;

There are those who are old and frail, and those who die without illness, etc.

Yan Song's meaning was not to let him commit suicide in fear of sin, but to let him suddenly fall ill and die!

There is a difference between suicide and death without cause, if he commits suicide in fear of sin, his family and even other people will still be implicated, because he is "afraid of sin", that is guilty

If he dies, it will be considered an accident, and since it is an accident, it will not be considered a conviction, and since he is not convicted, then no one else will be pursued.

This can be regarded as an unspoken rule of Ming officialdom.

So, how can you die without a cure?

In these years, the easiest way for officials to die is to eat rhubarb and drag themselves to death!

Rhubarb is also a laxative, if you eat too much, it is a powerful laxative, if you eat rhubarb as a meal, it will be the same as dysentery, diarrhea will not stop, pull to death!

In the Tianqi Dynasty and the Chongzhen Dynasty, many officials chose to eat rhubarb in order to avoid implicating their families and dragged themselves to death, and even Zhu Changluo of Mingguangzong was fed rhubarb by the eunuchs, pulled to prostration, and then sent a red pill on the road.

Of course, these are all afterthoughts, so I won't skip them for the time being.

At this time, Zhao Wenhua was thinking about whether to buy a bunch of rhubarb for dinner.

He thought about it for a long time, but decided to eat!

Although this kind of death is uncomfortable, it is more comfortable than being imprisoned and being punished, and more importantly, it will not implicate the family.

So, he ordered someone to buy a bunch of rhubarb and eat it.

So, before Yang Cong took office, he received news that Zhao Wenhua, the former governor of Zhejiang, suddenly fell seriously ill and seemed to be unable to do so.

This guy is really sick.

Of course, Yang Cong didn't know that Zhao Wenhua had bought a bunch of rhubarb and was going to eat himself to death, this kind of thing would definitely not be publicized everywhere.

Zhao Wenhua is dead, is his family really okay?

Actually, Yan Song was lying to him!

Yan Song's meaning seems to be saying that as long as he dies, he will do his best to protect his family, but in fact, Yan Song has no intention of taking care of him at all, let alone his family!

He is dead, and no one can dig out the filth between him and Yan Song, as for his family, where will Yan Song care, fornicate with the pirates, and even order people to pretend to be pirates and pirates to cause trouble, this kind of thing, Yan Song does not dare to blatantly shelter it!

Of course, Yang Cong was not so boring, he insisted on killing others, Zhao Wenhua's family, he would not pursue it, but he did not plan to let go of Yuyao Xie's family.

After he got the official document of appointment and dismissal, he got on the train on the same day and went straight to Jinling City, Nanzhili.

This guy, the speed of the train is fast, and the eight-hundred-mile rush can't be compared with it at all, Yan Song is delaying for some time, making all kinds of excuses, and not issuing the appointment and dismissal documents, so that Zhao Wenhua has time to break on his own, but Zhao Wenhua has no time to arrange for Yuyao Xie to avoid trouble.

In other words, he doesn't have the heart to care about these things at all, he is going to die, how can he still think about it so much.

Coincidentally, on the day Yang Cong arrived, it was when Zhao Wenhua died of illness in Jinling Mansion, this person was dead, naturally there was no way to pursue it, plus Zhao Wenhua was not convicted, this guy is not a guilty minister.

He pretended to go to the Zhao Mansion to hang himself, and then secretly ordered Tang Kekuan and Qi Jingtong, who were rushing to Yangzhou Mansion and Suzhou Mansion to encircle and suppress pirates and pirates, and quickly dispatched men and horses to Yuyao to control the Xie clan and the family!

Anyway, is he sick, Jiajing asked him to encircle and suppress pirates and pirates, but he didn't care about the pirates in Yangzhou Mansion and Suzhou Mansion, but instead ordered someone to clean up Yuyao Xie's family, did he want to announce his personal vendetta, take the opportunity to take revenge on Yan Song, or take advantage of this to establish his authority?

Of course not, because he knows that the root of pirates and pirates is the maritime giants, and only by cleaning up the maritime giants can we completely clean up the pirates and pirates!

Last time, he took the opportunity of encircling and suppressing pirates and pirates to use the Nantai Shipyard to build ships for pirates and pirates, and he had already cleaned up the Zhangpu Lin clan and the Longxi Chen clan, so at this time, Fujian was calm and calm, and there was nothing to do.

This time, of course, he had to take the opportunity to clean up Yuyao Xie and Ningbo Tu, you must know that Wang Zhi had hundreds of prisoners in his hands, and these people could be used to testify against Yuyao Xie and even Ningbo Tu.

The reason why he took Yuyao Xie was not mainly because of Zhao Wenhua, but because of Xie Shixian, because many of the prisoners captured by Wang Zhi confessed, and the last time he intercepted Wang Zhi's fleet, it was Xie Shixian who led the team.

If this guy is caught, Yuyao Xie's will basically be finished, Yuyao Xie's will be finished, and he will naturally have a way to involve Ningbo Tu's family.

Zhao Wenhua thought that if he died, he would be able to get rid of a hundred, who would have thought that if the pirates and pirates were not destroyed, this matter would be impossible!
