Chapter 254: A Taste of the Great Ming Iron Fist

"What are you doing, let people go!"

"yes, let people go!"

Seeing that the guards of the Governor's Mansion were so unmartial and did not say a word, they directly arrested people.

This made many salt merchants present feel a strong sense of crisis, and scolded this group of guards repeatedly.

At this moment, I saw Zheng Michang walking out of the Governor's Mansion with his hands behind his back, and the guards of the Governor's Mansion who had been embarrassed before, as if grasping a life-saving straw at this moment, hurriedly stepped forward and reported.

"Report to the political envoy, this group of salt merchants gathered to make trouble, and dared to threaten the people of the Governor's Palace!"

"Not only that, but this group of salt merchants was also unashamed to slander before, saying that you took their favors, but did not do anything."

"The person who slandered you right now has been arrested by his subordinates."

"You fart, I didn't say those words at all!"

When the old man, who had been controlled by the guards of the Governor's Palace, heard this, he was immediately furious, and he wanted to break free from the guards who controlled him.

However, no one on the scene cared about what he said, and he did not break free from the guards.

After listening to his subordinates' descriptions, Zheng Michang's face instantly became gloomy, and then he turned his gaze to the group of salt merchants, and said word by word.

"Do you know what the consequences of slandering the court officials are?"

Many of the salt merchants present were frightened by Zheng Michang's implied threatening words, and then they all closed their mouths and did not dare to speak again.

"I heard that you seem to be quite dissatisfied with the imperial court's policy of officially abolishing the salt introduction system?"

"Now that the official is here, if you have anything to say, you might as well talk to the official."

"Maybe this official can help a little."

After Zheng Michang looked around, he said slowly with an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Your Excellency, we also have a hard time!"

"The imperial court suddenly announced the official abolition of the salt introduction system, which caught us off guard, you know, we still have a large amount of salt introduction in our hands!"

"No matter what, you have to leave us a time to prepare, just ...... without saying anything."

"yes, yes!"

After listening to Zheng Michang's previous words, although many of the salt merchants present were a little confused about this, they still chose to talk about their predicament, hoping to get some promise.

"Hmph, let me tell you, do you really dare to say it?"

"You salt merchants colluded and gathered at the gate of the governor's palace to make trouble, not to mention it, and you still dare to openly rebel against the imperial court policy and threaten the officials!"

"Say, what is your heart? Who is behind you? ”

"Have you received the money from the widows?"

"Come on, take them all down to the official and try them well."

I saw Zheng Michang sneer, and then commanded in a deep voice to his subordinates on the side.

"Your Excellency, you ...... What are you doing? ”

At this moment, many salt merchants at the scene had been frightened by Zheng Michang's hat, and their faces were full of panic.

After all, this is a crime of complication! Even if you are lucky enough not to die, you have to take off half of the skin.

There are a few clever ones, and when they see that the situation is not good, they want to sneak away when there are many people, but unfortunately, they were soon discovered by the guards of the Governor's Palace, and their way out was blocked.

"What are you still doing there, take them all down to this official!"

"Yes!"

After the subordinates on the side responded, they quickly surrounded the group of people.

It was only then that the group of salt merchants remembered to beg for mercy, and some even knelt on the ground with a 'plop', hiding their faces and crying.

"Your Excellency, if you don't remember the villain, just spare us this time!"

"Yes, we are also bewitched! Otherwise, even if we lend us a hundred guts, we won't dare to come nonsense. ”

I saw a mocking smile appear on Zheng Michang's face, and after he withdrew his gaze from this group of salt merchants, he sneered.

"I just remember to beg for mercy now, it's too late."

"Escort them all to the official and interrogate them severely!"

After receiving Zheng Michang's orders, the group of guards rushed forward and controlled the group of salt merchants and their slaves.

Throughout the process, it was not without anyone who tried to resist and escape from the hands of this group of guards, but their fate was unmistakable.

They were greeted by angry guards and raining down their fists and feet.

It is worth mentioning that perhaps because of Zheng Michang's presence at the scene, this group of guards was extremely ruthless, not only with great force, but also to greet people from the most vulnerable places.

Therefore, soon some people died because they couldn't bear it.

"Report to the envoy, the salt merchants who came to make trouble at the gate of the Governor's Mansion and the servants under their command have all been controlled by us!"

"Well, you did a good job, take them all down, interrogate them strictly, and try to get them to confess to the mastermind behind the scenes as soon as possible."

After listening to his subordinates' reports, Zheng Michang nodded, and then added.

"Yes, Envoy Servant!"

After the subordinates on the side responded, they immediately ordered their subordinates to take this group of salt merchants to the prison immediately.

What awaits them next is a cruel punishment! It is not over until they can no longer bear the punishment and confess a person's name.

"Also, sweep the door carefully, if others can see it, what kind of system will it be?"

Zheng Michang looked at the corpses lying in a pool of blood, and couldn't help frowning, so he commanded.

"Yes, Lord Envoy, we'll deal with it right away!"

Seeing this, the previous subordinate immediately responded with a flattering face.

"Well, yes, do a good job, the official is optimistic about you."

I saw Zheng Michang gently patting the subordinate's shoulder and opening his mouth to encourage.

"Yes, Envoy Servant!"

The subordinate saw that he was so valued by Zheng Michang, the political envoy of Zhejiang, and the whole person suddenly had a feeling of flattery, and his body tensed involuntarily, and he replied in a deep voice.

Seeing that the matter was so easily resolved, Zheng Michang's heart was full of self-satisfaction, and then he paced at an extraordinarily leisurely pace and entered the governor's palace.

And the first thing Zheng Michang had to do next was naturally to report to Zhao Zhenji, the minister of the Imperial Mission.

First, it can let Zhao Zhenji, the minister, see his ability to do things, and second, he can quietly close the relationship between the two and prepare for the future!

"Zheng Michang, Zheng Michang, you have to take advantage of this opportunity."

After admonishing himself in his heart, Zheng Michang immediately knocked on Zhao Zhenji's door, and after getting Zhao Zhenji's consent, Zheng Michang entered it.

As soon as he entered the door, Zheng Michang saluted Zhao Zhenji with great respect.

"Report to Lord Qincha, the group of salt merchants who gathered at the gate to make trouble earlier have been properly dealt with by the lower officials!"

At this moment, Zhao Zhenji was sitting in front of the bookcase, holding a book in his hand that he couldn't read clearly, and was flipping through it with relish.

Seeing that Zheng Michang had completed the affairs he had previously explained, Zhao Zhenji nodded, put the book in his hand aside, and asked.

"Well, you're doing a good job!"

"By the way, did anyone get hurt during the whole process?"

Zhao Zhenji seemed to suddenly remember, and asked such a question.

"That'...... There was a conflict between the salt merchants and the guards who had gathered at the gates of the Governor's Palace, so it was inevitable that some of them would be injured as a result. ”

"But don't worry, the lower officials will definitely deal with it properly!"

Zheng Michang secretly observed, and the expression on Zhao Zhenji's face immediately added.

"Well, you can take care of it yourself."

Zhao Zhenji took in the expression on Zheng Michang's face and said slowly.

"That'...... That Lord Qincha, since there is nothing to do at the moment, and the lower official needs to deal with it, then the lower official will retire first! ”

Soon, Zheng Michang said goodbye to Zhao Zhenji very interestingly.

"Well, you go out, this official has some business to deal with next."

"Yes, Chincha-sama!"
