In a dimly lit room, I saw a man in a flying fish suit kneeling on one knee, handing out the file in his hand, and saying in a deep voice: "My lord, everything is going well!" ”

"Well, you've done a good job, and I'll give you credit in the report."

I saw that opposite the man, there was a thin old man, the old man was not wearing a flying fish suit like other Jinyi guards, but wearing a very ordinary robe, he was the person in charge of this operation, Jinyi Wei calmed Liu Mi.

"Thank you, sir!"

Seeing this, the man couldn't help but be overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

"Alright, let's go, the horses are ready, no delay!"

Liu Mi turned his gaze to the person who came and commanded.

"Yes!"

When the man had finished, he turned and went out of the room, outside which there was already a fast horse, and there was enough food and water to support the next station.

"Drive!"

The man turned over and got on his horse, and with a sharp swing of the whip, the horses under him were in pain, and they galloped out in an instant.

In the room, Liu Mi got up, poured himself a cup of tea, and said to himself silently: "Now, there is going to be a big earthquake here in Zhejiang, cough cough." ”

……

After Zheng Michang came out of the restaurant, he rushed to the governor's palace as fast as he could, wanting to inform Hu Zongxian of the matter.

"I'm tired of going in, and as soon as I report to the Governor, I will say that the lower officials have something urgent to report!"

Zheng Michang anxiously paced at the door of the Governor's Palace, and kept urging the guards at the door.

"Your Excellency, it's not that we don't want to go in and report, but the Governor has already ordered that no one should disturb him until he finishes his official business!"

"If you rush in and report and disturb the Governor, we won't be able to eat and leave!"

The guards at the gate of the Governor's Mansion looked apologetic and refused to go in to report anything.

"Okay, you don't report for this official, do you? Then the official will go in by himself! ”

Zheng Michang said, and wanted to forcibly enter the governor's palace.

And Zheng Michang's behavior also made the guards at the gate of the Governor's Mansion quite nervous, and subconsciously pulled out the long knife at his waist, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, please don't embarrass me!" ”

"You, you!"

Seeing that the guards of the Governor's Mansion dared to draw their swords at him, Zheng Michang subconsciously took two steps back, and then reacted and pointed at these guards with his index finger.

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry, the Governor's Mansion has regulations, and those who trespass on the Governor's Mansion will be killed!"

"Why don't you wait a little longer, maybe the Governor will finish his business soon?"

Seeing this, the guards at the gate of the Governor's Mansion withdrew the unsheathed knife and softened their tones.

"Okay, this official will continue to wait here! If you delay the matter at that time, this official will definitely not spare you! ”

Zheng Michang looked these guards in the Governor's Mansion up and down, and then threatened loudly.

In the study, Hu Zongxian put down the brush in his hand and breathed a long sigh of relief.

It took so long for Hu Zongxian to finally finish all the official affairs in the governor's palace, and just as he got up from his seat and came to the courtyard, wanting to move his muscles, he heard a commotion from outside.

These officials of the Governor's Mansion will never make any noise when Hu Zongxian is concentrating on official business!

Therefore, the noise coming from the outside is even more obvious.

Hu Zongxian's brows couldn't help frowning, he called his subordinates and asked, "What's going on outside?" How can it be so noisy? ”

Seeing this, the subordinates who were summoned by Hu Zongxian had no choice but to respond: "Your Excellency Governor, please wait a moment, and wait for your subordinates to go down and check the situation." ”

"Well, go and get back."

After Hu Zongxian gave a word, he began to stretch his body in the courtyard.

After a while, the previous subordinate came back and respectfully reported to Hu Zongxian: "Report to the Governor, it is the political envoy outside, he said that there is a very urgent matter that he wants to report to you!" ”

"But you told me before that no one should come and disturb you until you have finished your official business!"

"Well, the official knows, let him in! The official was very curious about what he meant by the urgency. ”

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Hu Zongxian nodded and commanded.

"Yes, Lord Governor, my subordinates will let the political envoy in!"

After receiving Hu Zongxian's order, the subordinates left quickly.

A moment later, Zheng Michang followed in the footsteps of such a subordinate and entered the Governor's Palace.

Zheng Michang's face was full of panic, and the moment he saw Hu Zongxian, he couldn't help but speak: "Lord Governor, it's not good, something is wrong!" ”

"What's wrong, don't worry, speak slowly."

Seeing that Zheng Michang was so flustered, Hu Zongxian hurriedly comforted.

"Your Excellency the Governor, here's how it ......"

Zheng Michang didn't care that there were other people present, and told Hu Zongxian what happened.

"What, you say it again? Hai Rui wants to report to the court the fact that the taxes that have been reduced or reduced by the imperial court all this time have not been implemented! ”

After listening to Zheng Michang's story, Hu Zongxian's brows couldn't help frowning, as if he didn't want to believe it, and repeated it again.

"Yes, Lord Governor, that's what he Hai Rui thinks, what should we do next!"

Zheng Michang's face was full of anxiety, and he kept pacing in place.

"This Hai Rui, does he know what he's doing? If this matter is stabbed, the whole of Zhejiang, no, most of the officials in the country, will not be able to run! ”

After thinking for a while, Hu Zongxian quickly understood the seriousness of the matter, and then ordered.

"You go, take a team of people to Chun'an County Ya to see if Hai Rui has returned."

"Besides, gather all the men in the city who can be mobilized! Let's see if we can find any trace of Hai Rui. ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, before this, the lower officials have already sent a team of people to the Chun'an County Ya! Presumably there will be news soon. ”

After listening to Hu Zongxian's deployment, Zheng Michang replied in a deep voice.

"Well, you're doing a good job, now, let's go and mobilize the manpower."

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

After Zheng Michang finished speaking, he left quickly, leaving Hu Zongxian standing alone.

Immediately after that, Hu Zongxian roughly imagined in his mind that after this matter was stabbed to His Majesty, there might be consequences, for a long time, Hu Zongxian sighed helplessly, and said to himself silently.

"Alas, what an eventful time!"

In fact, deep down, Hu Zongxian hopes that this matter will be known to His Majesty! It's just that there are too many involved in this matter.

Hu Zongxian has a calm personality and is old-fashioned, he could not predict the emperor's reaction when he learned of this, so he kept the matter on hold for the sake of the overall situation in the southeast.

If His Majesty learns of this matter and really investigates it, not to mention just one Zhejiang, the officials of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, they will all be beheaded!

Just as Hu Zongxian's thoughts were wandering, he accidentally caught a glimpse that Zheng Michang, who had left earlier, had returned.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Hu Zongxian turned his gaze to Zheng Michang and asked.

"Report ...... Report to the Governor, Hai Rui is waiting at the door of the Governor's Palace. ”

The expression on Zheng Michang's face was very complicated, and he responded to Hu Zongxian.

"Well, let him in!"

Hu Zongxian sighed and commanded helplessly.

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

After receiving the order, the guards on the side let in Hai Rui, who was waiting at the gate of the governor's palace.
