The night passed in the blink of an eye, and when the sky was just dawning, Zheng Michang received a reply from Yan Song and them.

"My lord, this is a letter sent by the elder and them."

"Well, I see, you go down."

Zheng Michang waved his hand, sent the guards away, and then opened the envelope.

And the content of the letter really did not disappoint him, Yan Ge Lao and the others agreed to this plan, and also deliberately explained in the letter that the movement would be a little bigger!

"In that case, it must be imperative that this case be tried publicly!" Zheng Bichang rubbed his chin and pondered.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Michang called his subordinates: "Go, call Hai Rui to the official, and say that the official has something important to discuss with him, go quickly!" ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" After receiving the order, the subordinate left quickly.

"Anyway, today is also the day when Yan Maoqing came to Zhejiang to collect salt tax, should the official bring him in?"

Zheng Michang said, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured himself a cup of tea.

In a quarter of an hour, Hai Rui rushed to the Governor's Mansion of Zhejiang.

"Your Excellency, do you have anything to do with the lower officials? Is it ......?" asked Hai Rui as soon as he entered the conference hall.

"Well, that's right, Ge Lao, they have already sent news, saying let's let it go!" Faced with Hai Rui's question, Zheng Michang just nodded, his words full of excitement.

"Don't you want to hear the case in public? I'll get them out of my cell later, and I'll get the news out with them. Zheng Michang looked at Hai Rui and instructed.

"Well, Xia Guan understands." Hai Rui nodded, and prepared to bow and leave.

"Oh, by the way, today is the day when Yan Maoqing, the left deputy capital, came to Zhejiang to collect the salt tax, and the official will have to greet him later, and he can't be there in person for the time being! No matter what happens to you, don't panic, understand? ”

When Hai Rui was about to step out of the hall of the Governor's Palace, Zheng Michang stopped Hai Rui and instructed.

"Well, thank you for mentioning it, the lower officials know!" Hai Rui's pace paused for a moment, and then he walked straight away.

……

Soon, under the spread of well-intentioned people, the news that the government was going to publicly try the murder case of Wen Rong, the youngest son of the Wen family, spread in the city.

"Hey, what are you doing? Stopped doing business? ”

A passer-by stopped the vendor on the side of the road and asked.

"What kind of stall are you setting up, today the government is going to openly try the murder case of the Wen family's son!"

The vendor explained as he packed up his things.

"What? Where is it? How did I not know? Seeing this, passers-by asked repeatedly.

"It seems to be on the side of the government, let's hurry up, I won't be able to grab the position when it's too late!" After the vendors had packed up their things, they hurried to the government office.

Seeing this, passers-by also followed closely and ran towards the government together.

And the news that the government was going to hear the case publicly naturally reached the ears of the Wen family.

"Master, it's not good, then Hai Rui said that he would openly try the young master's case in the palace!"

After getting the news, the housekeeper hurried to Wen Pingyi's room and reported.

"What are you panicking about? I've known this news for a long time, and I still need you to say it? Wen Pingyi glanced at his butler rather dissatisfied, and said lightly.

"Master, what should we do? Do you want to ......?" said the butler, pausing for a moment, meaning something.

Wen Pingyi glanced at his butler rather helplessly, and then scolded angrily: "You idiot, what do you want to do? No matter what Hai Rui says, the size is also an official, and to deal with officials, you must use the methods of the official! Put away your set for me honestly. ”

"Yes, sir." The butler was reprimanded by this, so he had to put away his inner thoughts.

"What should the young master do over there?" The butler then asked questions.

"Master, I have already made sufficient preparations, he Hai Rui wants a public trial, so he can't go on." Wen Pingyi seemed to be confident about this, and said slowly.

……

Yan Maoqing didn't know how many days he had been on the boat, and when he got off the boat and looked at the officials who came to greet him not far away, he was still in a little trance.

"Zheng Michang, the political envoy in Xiazhejiang, has seen Lord Yushi, the left deputy capital!" Zheng Michang stood at the front of the crowd and took the lead in saluting.

After him, the rest of the officials also followed suit: "I've seen my lord!" ”

"You colleagues don't have to be like this, this official is here to collect salt tax, and you will need a lot of cooperation from your colleagues at that time." Yan Maoqing responded with a warm smile on his face.

"Your Excellency, please!" Zheng Michang stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation very enthusiastically.

"Lord Zheng, I don't know anything below, please answer?" Yan Maoqing lowered his voice and asked in a deep voice.

"Oh, but it doesn't hurt to say that." Zheng Michang seemed to have anticipated the question that Yan Maoqing was going to ask, so there was not much surprise on his face.

"Why did you come to greet this official, Governor Hu?"

"Governor Hu recently received an appointment from the imperial court, and all the affairs of the governor's palace are temporarily in charge of me."

Zheng Michang smiled slightly and answered Yan Maoqing's doubts.

"Oh, I see." After listening to Zheng Michang's explanation, Yan Maoqing also understood the truth of the matter, and no longer asked about this matter.

Zheng Michang and Yan Maoqing walked in the front, followed by a large number of officials, large and small.

"Do you want to go to the storeroom now? Or take a break and then go? Zheng Michang turned his gaze to Yan Maoqing and said in a deep voice.

"Go now, the task issued by the imperial court this time is very heavy, and there is no room for error!" Yan Maoqing shook his head and rejected Zheng Michang's proposal.

"Well, too, it should be important to take official business, please here, my lord!" After Zheng Michang said that, he beckoned Yan Maoqing to sit in a sedan chair and rushed towards the Yamen of the Political Secretary.

And on the other side, inside the prison.

"What are you going to do? Young Master Ben doesn't want to get out of here! ”

Wen Rong no longer had the same aura as when he first came in, and his whole body was dismantled and embarrassed! As if frightened, he just curled up in the corner, unwilling to come out.

"A few of you, come over and give Uncle Ben a hand, and I'll give you a little more porridge when we eat later!" The jailer outside the door covered his mouth and nose in disgust and spoke.

As soon as they heard this, those fellow inmates who were in the same cell with Wen Rong seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, their eyes lit up, and they immediately took action to carry Wen Rong out of the corner of the cell.

"Let go of me, you guys! When Young Master Ben goes out, he will definitely not be able to spare you. Wen Rong was still struggling, and his mouth threatened.

"Shut up! Put the shackles on him! The jailer on the side became impatient and ordered his men.

"Yes!" Seeing this, the jailer immediately held down Wen Rong and put shackles weighing ten kilograms on his ankles.

"Hmph, do you still think you are the young master of the Wen family? Your Excellency has decided to judge you publicly! If it weren't for the fact that your Wen family is still active in sending money, I would have cleaned you up a long time ago, uncle! ”

"Next, be honest with Uncle Ben, don't think about any tricks, you will answer whatever the adults ask you! Otherwise, if you make it difficult for adults, I will make it difficult for you. ”

"Got it?"

Looking at the jailer's expression as if he was going to choose someone to devour, Wen Rong secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded subconsciously.
