"Lord Ministry!" Hai Rui stood up and saluted.

This is the Qincha Xingyuan located in Suzhou Prefecture, and Hai Rui is also one of the Qincha.

According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, magistrates were not allowed to leave their posts without permission. Hai Rui left Huating this time to investigate the case. Of course, the general Qincha is selected from the two capitals, and this round is not Hai Rui, a small Qipinzhi County in Huating County. But because the nature of this case is a corruption case, and Hai Rui is famous, coupled with the rule of Qingping, there have indeed been several difficult cases, which made Shangfeng applaud, and of course, Xu Jie's recommendation. In the end, Hai Rui became one of the chasers in this corruption case, and cooperated with the chief from the capital to review the corruption case of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau.

Speaking of which, it is also a loss that the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau is troubled and has a lot of shit, so he didn't come to conspire with Cheng Zhong to seize the fast fat of Huating's silk business. Otherwise, with the domineering and greed of the Suzhou Manufacturing Bureau, how could he stay out of the matter and let Cheng Zhong make a lot of money?

"Haichi Prefecture is exempt!" Hu Zongxian said. Hai Rui is a Qincha, and he didn't need to salute Hu Zongxian, but Hu Zongxian is the highest governor of Nanzhili and Zhejiang after all, and it is not office hours now, so Hai Rui still expressed his respect for Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian is a native of Huizhou, tall, thin, and his temples have turned white, if he walked on the street in casual clothes, no one would have thought that this half-hundred-year-old man was actually the highest military governor in the Zhizhejiang region, and it was he who used a trick to exterminate Wang Zhi. At this time, Hu Zongxian's face was sad, even a little worried.

"There is very bad news that I would like to inform Haichi Prefecture." Hu Zongxian said.

Hu Zongxian's body is branded with Yan Song, but Hai Rui is the person recommended by Xu Jie, although not many people know about this matter, but Hu Zongxian, as the highest official in Zhejiang and a dignified second-class member of the imperial court, is of course impossible not to know about this. Although the auxiliary and secondary auxiliary are harmonious on the surface, they don't know how many there are in the secret. Therefore, although Hai Rui and Hu Zongxian were in the same city, this was the second time that the two met except for one visit to Hu Zongxian in accordance with the regulations when they first arrived in Suzhou.

"Your Excellency, please give me instructions." Hai Rui's complexion remained unchanged and extremely calm.

Hu Zongxian pondered for a moment, but said slowly: "I just received a military report, and more than 200 Japanese robbers suddenly appeared in Huating County!" ”

"What!" Harry had to stand up.

"When did this happen?" Hai Rui asked.

"Two days ago!" Hu Zongxian said ashamedly. Two days was enough for the Japanese to loot and loot Huating, and then left gracefully.

"When did Lord Ministry get the news?" Hai Rui asked aggressively, with a faint hint of accusation in his words, although Hu Zongxian is a second-class official, and his official rank is not much higher than him, but Hai Rui is not a sycophant person, and there is such a serious matter under his rule, Hu Zongxian can't get the news so late, and he is only telling himself now, which is suspected of deliberately concealing it.

"I'm ashamed to say that the main department just got the news!" Hu Zongxian said with a somewhat ugly face. He has already heard about Hai Jui's difficulty, it seems that the rumors are true, and he does not have the slightest fear and catering to himself, the governor, this may be the lack of desire. "The headquarters has sent Suzhou guards to rescue Huating, and Haizhi County doesn't need to be too worried."

"Lord Ministry, forgive the official beak, the army must be cleared." Hai Rui said. The appearance of the Japanese in the territory of Zhizhejiang has an unshirkable responsibility as the highest military commander, not to mention that he only knows about it two days ago now. Suzhou Mansion is very close to Songjiang Mansion, and the news should not be so closed. Then there are only two possibilities, the first army is incompetent, and there is no way to detect the looting of the Japanese invaders, and the second army has already obtained the news, but for various reasons, it has not fed back such heavy news to Hu Zongxian, no matter what the reason, the army has a very strict problem. That's why Hai Rui said that the army should be cleared.

Of course, Hai Rui is only the magistrate of Huating, so it is a bit more than his duty to say this.

However, Hu Zongxian did not blame, but nodded. Hu Zongxian still appreciates Hai Rui's ability to solve the problem in such a short period of time.

"Haizhi Prefecture doesn't suspect that it was deliberately concealed by the main department?" Hu Zongxian's words today are a bit too much.

Hai Rui smiled and said, "Hai Rui believes that the Lord of the Ministry of Education will not be able to do such a thing. ”

Hai Rui's sentence of belief made Hu Zongxian very emotional, the two belonged to two different factions, and they should have been distinct. Although Hu Zongxian belongs to the strict party and has a loss of morality, he has a clear conscience, which is why Hai Rui is willing to believe in Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian also realized that he had talked a little too much today, so he saluted Hai Rui and turned around to leave. But after walking a few steps, he turned around: "Haichi Prefecture, there is still something I want to ask about the main department." I heard that there were Japanese robbers under his rule, and Haizhi County can still sit so peacefully, I don't know what the basis is? ”

Although Hu Zongxian has urgently dispatched Suzhou guards to rescue Huating County, it is difficult to say whether he can have time or not, Hai Rui, as a parent official, is not in a hurry at all, is he not in a hurry at all, is he not putting the life and death of the people under his rule in his heart, or is Hai Rui already made arrangements and has no fear?

If it is the former, Hu Zongxian will look down on Hai Rui, but a parent official turns a deaf ear to the life and death of the people, even if he is honest, he is just a person who sells his reputation and reputation; If it is the latter, Hai Rui is now in Suzhou, how can he be fearless? Therefore, Hu Zongxian was very curious.

Hai Rui's gaze turned to the direction of Huating County, and said slowly: "The one who the lower officials rely on is one ear. ”

"Alone?" This time, Hu Zongxian was even more strange. What kind of person could make Hai Rui rely on him so much, and even think that he could guarantee that Huating was safe in front of more than 200 would-be robbers?

"Who is this person? Can Zongxian be heard? Hu Zongxian said.

Hai Rui said: "He is Cheng Zhong, a student of Xiaguan. Xia Guan believed that even if he was in Huating, he would not be able to do better than him. ”

"Cheng Zhong?" Hu Zongxian had never heard of this person's name, and if Hai Rui said "Tang Shunzhi" and other old people, Hu Zongxian would still be able to understand. But Hai Rui was talking about a little-known Cheng Zhong. He secretly wrote down the name in his heart, and then said: "Haizhi County is so sure, that's the best." If you have the opportunity, I really want to meet this Mr. Cheng Zhong. ”

After saying these words, Hu Zongxian was really going to say goodbye, he turned around and strode out of the account, looking at his slightly rickety figure, Hai Rui also felt a little emotional!

"Lord Ministry!" This time, it was Hai Rui who took the initiative to stop Hu Zongxian.

"What's going on in Haichi Prefecture?" Hu Zongxian turned around and asked.

Hai Rui pondered for a while, and said slowly: "What Hai Rui wants to tell Lord Sù Butang is that when the water is clear, there is no fish, as long as you are worthy of your heart and do not lose to the people, even if you say a few words against your heart, you will not lose anything with virtue!" Adults do not avoid life and death, and the people who protect the coastal people can see it, and the emperor should also see it. ”

Hai Rui's words seemed to have no beginning or end, but Hu Zongxian understood.

Hu Zongxian's sorrow now is not only the widow in Huating County, his greater sorrow is because a person died, this person is Zhao Wenhua.

The relationship between Hu Zongxian and Zhao Wenhua is extraordinary, and it was through Zhao Wenhua that Hu Zongxian boarded the big ship of Yan Song. Now Zhao Wenhua was ordered by the emperor to belittle, and finally died inexplicably with a rotten stomach, and his greedy silver and descendants will be repaid from generation to generation. This punishment is not insignificant, and the emperor's hatred for Zhao Wenhua can be seen. So whether Hu Zongxian, who has such a close relationship with Zhao Wenhua, will be implicated, many people are speculating, and even some people in Zhejiang have begun to disobey Hu Zongxian's dispatch, thinking that his days are not long.

Hai Rui's words are to comfort Hu Zongxian, after all, although Hu Zongxian has befriended Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua, he has done good things to resist the Japanese and the people, so he is still a good official.

Hu Zongxian would not be surprised if someone else said such a thing, but it was Hai Rui who said this, such a person who is known for his strictness, Hu Zongxian didn't know whether he was trying to comfort or be sarcastic.

Hai Rui smiled and said: "Speaking of which, Xiaguan is still influenced by my student, he once told Xiaguan: a capable corrupt official and an incompetent clean official, if you have to choose one of the two, the people will definitely choose a capable corrupt official." If it weren't for him, Huating County's tax law reform would probably be stillborn. ”

Hu Zongxian didn't expect Hai Rui's evaluation of Cheng Zhong to be so high, and Cheng Zhong's insight is exactly what Hu Zongxian agrees with.

"In this way, Hu wants to meet this master of Haizhi County!" This time, Hu Zongxian did not call himself "Motobutang", but called himself "Hu", which was obviously close.
