After Jiajing finished reading the content of the recital, he was not as angry as Hu Zongxian had expected before, but his expression was calm and his eyes were cold.

I saw Jiajing casually throw the fold aside, and called softly: "Lu Fang! ”

"The slave is here."

"Take a look at this recital, this is Hu Zongxian's excerpt directly presented to me." Jiajing sighed, and then pointed his index finger to the fold on the table.

After hearing Jiajing's instructions, Lu Fang didn't dare to delay, and quickly stepped forward to open the fold, but the content on it shocked him.

"Your Majesty!" After reading it, Lu Fang immediately knelt on the ground, looking sad.

"You let Jinyiwei investigate this matter, no matter who is involved, let's do it together." Jiajing's tone was thick with exhaustion.

"Yes, slave and maid command." After Lu Fang finished speaking, he bowed and left, and the steps under his feet were not as calm as before, and he almost tripped and fell to the ground.

That night, several eunuchs died mysteriously and violently.

……

Zhejiang, Zhejiang's Governor's Palace.

Hu Zongxian looked at Gao Hanwen who was kneeling in front of him, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Your Excellency the Governor, under Gao Hanwen! Recommended by the elder of the small cabinet, he came to serve in the governor's palace of Zhejiang. ”

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

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

"Back to the Governor, the old Yan Shifan of the small pavilion is the teacher of the students." Gao Hanwen replied respectfully.

"They sent you here to measure the land and prepare for the next year's rice and mulberry crops?"

"Your Excellency, that's true."

Asking the reason, Hu Zongxian got up from the chair and helped Gao Hanwen up, looked up and down for a while, and then said encouragingly: "Hanwen, I hope you can work hard in the future and think more about the people of Zhejiang!" ”

"Your subordinates will follow the instructions of the Governor!"

"After a long journey, you can go down and rest first, and I'll introduce you to colleagues later."

"Thank you, Governor!"

At the home of Shen Yishi, the richest man in Zhejiang, He Maocai, the political envoy Zheng Michang, and Yang Jinshui, the chief eunuch of the Weaving Bureau, gathered together to drink tea.

"Everyone, please!"

Shen Yishi was wearing rags, holding a rotten porcelain bowl in his hand, and saluted to everyone.

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

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

"If you want it, I'll 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 lengthening his voice.

"Due to the low output of Longjing this year, I gave Gonggong Lu in the palace two catties, Yan Ge Lao and Xiao Ge Lao two catties each, and all the adults present one catty each, and the rest was kept for me to drink." Shen Yishi put the broken porcelain bowl on the table and smiled.

"I said, they are all the richest people in Zhejiang, and they are still so picky, wearing rags, and using rotten porcelain bowls!" After listening to Shen Yishi's words, He Mao smiled and joked with a smile.

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

Yang Jinshui, who had been silently tasting tea, spoke: "This year, the Weaving Bureau received an order for 500,000 pieces of silk, and I don't know if Boss Shen can eat it." ”

Shen Yishi pondered for a moment in his heart and gave the answer: "I Shen currently only have more than 10,000 looms, the most important thing in making silk is silk, if the supply of silk is enough, I will unite with other machine households, the loom can reach more than 18,000 sheets, and if you rush to make it day and night, it will be able to produce about 360,000 pieces of silk." ”

After hearing this, Yang Jinshui looked depressed: "At present, there are about 40,000 pieces of silk in the inventory in the Weaving Bureau, which means that there are still 100,000 horses missing. ”

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

"Besides, the elder of Xiaoge personally sent someone down to check the acres of fields in Zhejiang, what is that person's name?"

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

"Yes, yes, it's called Gao Hanwen!"

……

"My lord, Qi Jiguang came to report, saying that Jinyiwei sent someone to take away Xu Hai, the leader of the Japanese Bandits, last night."

"Well, I see, you go down."

At this moment, there was a dead silence in the Jinyi Guard's prison.

Xu Hai's whole body was fixed in the chair and couldn't move, he hadn't slept all night, and whenever sleepiness hit, he would be woken up by a basin of cold water.

At this time, it was the cold winter wax moon, and the temperature at night was extremely low, and Xu Hai was only wearing a single coat, and the clothes soaked in water were wet and sticky to his body, which not only could not play a role in keeping warm, but also made people feel even colder.

Xu Hai's lips were blue and purple, and his expression was in a trance, but the people of Jinyiwei did not torture him, but just sent someone to watch him, and when he wanted to sleep, he poured a bucket of cold water on him.

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

Xu Hai's frozen, bruised lips moved, and he didn't make any sound.

"Keep pouring it, and the commander will come over later!"

"Yes." The person in charge of taking care of Xu Hai received the order, and then another bucket of cold water was poured on his head, Xu Hai became even colder, and he lost consciousness in an instant.

"Wake him up, as long as he doesn't die!" Seeing the prisoner pass out, an indifferent voice came.

"Ahh An indescribable pain woke Xu Hai up from his coma, and the severe pain also made his original trance consciousness awake, and then when he opened his eyes, he saw a face full of playfulness: "Awake? ”

This is the brocade guard who guarded him.

Xu Hai tilted his head to the side and did not speak.

"Hey, hey, hey, since we're awake, we'll have fun, I like your hard stubble the most!"

"It's all you, you cob, so I can't sleep all night! I'll suck you brute to death. ”

After that, the whip dipped in chili water was whipped Xu Hai's body, and every whip would leave a deep blood mark on his body, and the hot pain from the wound made Xu Hai almost crush his teeth.

"Oh? You can still hold on, or wait until I pull out all your teeth and see what you bite. With that, he began rummaging around the cell looking for tools.

After a while, a tool in the shape of pliers was taken into his hand, this tool was full of blood rust, it seemed that it had not been cleaned for a long time, only to see Xu Hai's mouth break open forcefully, fix the pliers, and then pull it out, a yellowed tooth flew out, blood like an infusion.

"Ahhh In a trance, this sudden sharp pain became clearer, and Xu Hai could no longer hold on, screaming miserably.

"This is only the first one, don't worry, let me count, there are twenty-eight left!"

The person who came smiled cruelly, broke Xu Hai's mouth again, fixed the pliers, pulled it out hard, and another tooth flew out, Xu Hai almost fainted in pain.

"I heard that you still have a few families hiding over there, don't worry, our Jinyi Wei has sent someone to pick it up overnight, and soon you will be able to reunite with your family, and when the time comes, the men will be raised as pigs, and the women will be sold to brothels, what do you say?"

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

"No, no, no, of course it matters, since they are your family members, they must have enjoyed all kinds of benefits both openly and secretly, don't the clothes they wear and the food they eat in the bowl cost money?"

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