Hu Zongxian did not delay too long, he handed over all the affairs of the Governor's Mansion to his staff Xu Wei to handle, during this period, countless people wanted to find out some news about the confession from Hu Zongxian through side knocks, so as to prepare in advance, but in vain.

The next day, Hu Zongxian embarked on the road to the capital to take up his post, and his every move also affected the hearts of countless high-ranking officials in the capital.

Beijing, Yanfu.

Yan Shifan took the letter sent by his subordinates, looked flustered, and hurriedly knocked on the door of his father Yan Song.

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

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

"Father, something is wrong! His Majesty sent an edict to Hu Zongxian, so that after obtaining a definite confession, he would return to Beijing to report on his work, and now he was already on his way, and our people did not inquire about anything from him. ”

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

"Well, I can't rule out this possibility, anyway, none of the people under your command have asked about anything?" After listening to his son's description, Yan Song couldn't help frowning, 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 make eye contact with his father's eyes, and silently lowered his head.

"Look at the people you use, it's all rubbish! I can't even handle this kind of trivial matter, and I can't get any news out. ”

Seeing his father open his mouth to reprimand, Yan Shifan had no choice but to bow his head and admit his mistake, and ask his father about the next countermeasures.

"You go and tell them, you must keep your mouth shut! No matter whether Hu Zongxian finds out anything or not, as long as he doesn't open his mouth indiscriminately, there is still room for things to ease, if they can't bear the move, then there is no need for them to exist. ”

After thinking for a moment, Yan Song gave an answer that was the most secure and least infallible at the moment.

"Yes, boy, I'll do it."

After Yan Shifan got a temporary response from his father, he left non-stop.

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

Since he overthrew his predecessor Shoufu Xia Yan, the feeling that this kind of thing is not under his control has not appeared for a long time, and now he can't get accurate news through various channels, and without accurate information, how can he talk about action?

Yan Song felt like a lamb to the slaughter at the moment, and could only curl up in the sheepfold, waiting for the butcher's knife to fall at the end.

"Hu Ruzhen, Hu Ruzhen, I hope you can remember a little bit of master-apprentice affection, don't let me down......"

Yan Song stopped pacing, his eyes were deep, and he thought so in his heart.

……

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

"How? Do you know for sure? ”

Xu Jie saw the person who had gone to inquire about the news coming in, and hurriedly asked.

"My lord, he was the only one at the scene when Governor Hu tried the case before, and the rest of the people were not allowed to enter, so we couldn't find out any exact news."

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

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

"Then when did Hu Zongxian set off?"

"My lord, yesterday Hu Zongxian set off after handing over all the affairs of the Governor's Mansion to his staff Xu Wei!"

"Okay, you go down."

After Xu Jie finished asking the news, he waved his hand and sent the person away.

"Did you find out?" Xu Jie drank all the tea in the cup and thought about it carefully.

"Come on, prepare a sedan chair, go to Yuwang's Mansion!"

……

Forbidden City, West Garden.

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

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

"Well, Hu Zongxian has done a good job in this, continue to pay attention, and report to me as soon as there is news! I'd like to see what tricks they can play. ”

"Yes, slave and maid obey." After Lu Fang conveyed the news to Jiajing, he bowed and left.

"Tell the imperial dining room to prepare food, I'm a little hungry." Jiajing waved his hand and commanded the guards on the side.

"Yes."

……

Zhejiang, Chun'an County.

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

"If you want me to say, if there is no new magistrate of Chun'an County this time, Lord Hai Ruihai, we people will really be dead!" In the queue to receive porridge, an old man said.

"Yes, that Jiandezhi County is really hateful, and he actually occupied our share of Chun'an County, if you want me to say, he should be punished according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty!"

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

"It's supposed to be ......"

Because Hai Rui had previously led the victims of Chun'an County to kneel in the governor's palace and seek justice for him, this action allowed him to win the support of the people of Chun'an County at a very fast speed, but also offended a large number of officials.

"Hmph, what does this Hai Jui mean? Blatantly taking the victims to the Governor's Mansion to make trouble, and shouting for the Governor to give him justice, in my opinion, this is completely a deceptive and famous, the purpose is to win a clear name for himself, don't you say? ”

"If I were the Governor, I would have punished him on the spot for disturbing the order of the government and being a supreme official! Let him crawl back to the county office of Chun'an County. ”

"Hahaha." Then there was a burst of laughter.

"Is it true that this Ming Dynasty is a clean official for him Hai Rui? If you want to be honest, these people here don't let us do much, right? ”

"Yes, yes, come and drink!"

"Drink!"

After Hai Rui finished his work in the government, he returned to his home in Hangzhou, a very ordinary courtyard, exhausted.

As soon as Hai Rui entered the door, his wife Wang greeted him, and her face was full of distress.

"Come on in, you've been busy these days, aren't you? You haven't been home for three days and three nights! Have you been living in the county office these days? ”

"Blame me, I forgot the time when I got busy." Hai Rui sat down in front of his wife's disgusting gaze.

"What smells so good?" As soon as Hai Rui sat down at the table, his nose sniffed, and he smelled a fragrance from the direction of the kitchen.

"You're back today, it's a blessing! This is something that was delivered to the door before. Wang explained, with a smile on his face.

"What? Who sent it! What did you give? Hai Rui slammed up from his seat, his tone very serious.

Seeing that her husband was so nervous, Wang couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly explained: "He said that it was your old friend, and he came to visit him, and he also asked someone to send a few pieces of meat and some gifts, and the man put down his things and left, and I couldn't catch up with him, so I ...... it."

"I remember that there is no old friend here, could it be that someone is trying to frame me?" After listening to his wife's description, Hai Rui said in a deep voice.

"Ah, what then!" Wang was taken aback by the expression on her husband's face, and her face was full of eagerness.

"Take me to see those things."

"Well, you come with me, over there."

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

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

"Jade can be broken but not changed to white, bamboo can be burned but not destroyed, although the body is dead, the name can be hung on the bamboo silk, besides, I am all for the people to live a better life, even if they are sinful? Just be careful. ”
