"Did you hear that? The imperial court has sent down all the arrears of our salaries! ”

"Really, when did it happen, how did I not know?"

"It's true, just now, when the Governor sent someone to inform me of the news, I was on the scene and heard it clearly!"

"This newly appointed governor really has a way to help us get all the money we owe back at once!"

"Yes, even if the governor wants me to die now, I will definitely not frown!"

"Come on, it's up to you?"

……

Since Tan Lun sent someone to inform the nearby guards that the silver had been in place, the soldiers rushed to discuss it.

For these guards and soldiers, Tan Lun, the newly appointed governor of Fujian, not only did what he said, but also really recovered the salary for them, but also gave them an extra opportunity to make contributions!

It is no exaggeration to say that if someone dares to say a bad word about Tan Lun at this moment, this group of guards will definitely rush forward and eat him alive.

And Wang Yong, who was previously appointed by Tan Lun as the temporary prefect of the guard, was also smiling, and his face was full of excitement that could not be concealed.

Just now, he heard two good news from Tan Lun's subordinates.

First, the arrears of the soldiers' salaries have been settled, and second, after all the ordnance, food, and grass are in place, the work of suppressing bandits will be officially launched.

"Pass my orders, beat the drums, gather the troops!"

"Yes, sir!"

I saw Wang Yong come out of the tent and say to the soldiers on the side.

Soon, before the three-way drum sounded, the soldiers of the guard had already assembled!

The soldiers in the audience lined up neatly, their expressions were solemn, and everyone also had some rough guesses in their hearts about why Wang Yong wanted to beat drums and gather troops.

Wang Yong looked at the neatly arranged soldiers in the audience, with a faint aura of slaughter, and said loudly.

"Today, the official gathered everyone together because there are two things I want to inform you!"

After Wang Yong finished speaking, he deliberately paused for a moment, and only after taking in the expressions on the faces of the soldiers in the audience did he continue.

"This first thing, I think everyone already knows, the governor has fulfilled his promise, and the imperial court has distributed all our salaries!"

"The exact number is, eight hundred and thirty-six thousand three hundred and thirty-two taels of silver!"

As soon as Wang Yong's words fell, there was a burst of cheers from the audience, which shook Wang Yong's eardrums.

"It's all quiet, this official has one more thing to announce next!"

Wang Yong turned his gaze to the soldiers in the audience and said in a deep voice.

As soon as Wang Yong's words fell, the soldiers who had just cheered immediately shut their mouths! Then he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to Wang Yong's next words, for fear of missing a word.

"The second thing that this official is going to announce is that after the follow-up ordnance, grain and grass are all in place, we will officially start to exterminate the bandits entrenched in Fujian!"

"It is said that the imperial court has also allocated an additional 1.2 million taels of silver this time for the purpose of suppressing bandits!"

"Now that the Governor has fulfilled his promise, it is time for us to repay him!"

"What do you think?"

After Wang Yong finished speaking, he withdrew his gaze from the soldiers in the audience and asked.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

In response, he was a fanatical soldier waving the weapon in his hand vigorously.

……

Zhejiang, Chun'an County.

"In this case, the official decided to judge it like this, what objections do you have to the two of you?"

After patiently listening to the narratives of the two parties, Hai Rui gave the final decision.

"Nope."

"Neither do I."

After looking at each other, the two parties felt that Hai Jui's punishment was very fair and reasonable, so they did not raise any objections.

"In that case, this case is over! You two can leave too. ”

After Hai Rui finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip.

"Yes, Lord Zhixian, I'll retire!"

After the two finished speaking, their faces were full of respect, and after arching their hands at Hai Rui, they left the county government of Chun'an County one after the other.

"Lord Zhixian, go down and rest for a while!"

"Since this morning, you haven't rested for a moment, either in the case or on the way to solve the case."

Seeing that Hai Rui's face was full of exhaustion, the master bookkeeper on the side saw this and hurriedly comforted him.

"Well, it's okay, wait for this official to finish these official duties, and then rest."

"Lord Zhixian, this part of the official business will be handled by your subordinates for you! You go down and rest for a while, you are now my parent official in Chun'an County, you should pay attention to your body. ”

Seeing that Hai Rui still refused to go down to rest, the master on the side continued to persuade with a worried look on his face.

"Well, that's good, I'll leave this to you, and the official will go down and rest for a while."

Hai Rui saw that the words of the master had already been said to this point, and he was embarrassed to refuse, so he had to speak.

"Lord Zhixian, you can rest assured, there will be no mistakes!"

The master bookkeeper on the side patted Hai Rui's chest and assured.

Soon, Hai Rui came to the inner courtyard of the county government.

At this time, Hai Rui's wife, Wang, was drying the clothes that had been washed.

When she saw the tired look on Hai Rui's face, her face was full of worry, and she quickly greeted her and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a little tired."

Faced with his wife's concern, Hai Rui just shook his head and responded.

"Really, I don't know what I'm doing all day long, so desperate? I see that those who are officials are very idle all day long! ”

"Alas, forget it, let's go back and rest for a while!"

Hai Rui's wife, Wang, according to the usual practice, sent Hai Rui back to rest after chattering a few words.

After listening to his wife's words, Hai Rui still stayed where he was, looking like he wanted to say something.

"Don't worry, I'll let you know if there's anything going on."

Hai Rui's wife, Wang, sighed when she saw her husband's appearance, and said helplessly.

"Well, that's good."

After receiving his wife's assurance, Hai Rui turned around and went back to his room, where he soon fell asleep.

When Hai Jui woke up again, the exhaustion he had accumulated before disappeared, and the whole person suddenly felt refreshed.

Just as he wanted to go back to deal with official business, he saw his wife Wang walk in with a panicked face and said in a trembling voice.

"The officials of the Governor's Mansion sent a message that the minister sent by the imperial court wants to see you by name!"

"Now people are still waiting outside, Hai Rui, tell me honestly, is there something serious?"

"Some time ago, you sent a letter back saying that you were going to stay in the Governor's Mansion temporarily, is it because of this incident?"

I have to say that Hai Rui's wife Wang is still very keen, and she quickly pieced together the original appearance of the matter from these current clues.

It must be her husband Hai Rui, who has done something earth-shattering! Otherwise, how could the ministers sent by the imperial court see him by name?

Perhaps, the minister of the Qin mission came this time, and one of them was Hai Rui's credit.

"Don't worry, it's okay, Lord Qincha just asked me about the situation!"

"I'll be back soon."

Facing his frightened wife, Hai Rui had to comfort softly.

After comforting his wife, Hai Rui took resolute steps and walked into the county office.

"Lord Zhixian, please go to the Governor's Mansion with the lower officials, and the minister will see you in person."

"Well, I know."

Hai Rui nodded, and then followed the pace of the people who came up, and set out on the road to the governor's palace.
