Chapter 300: Race to be the first

Beijing, Yanfu.

I saw Yan Shifan knock on Yan Song's door quite excitedly and speak.

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

Immediately, only to hear a 'squeak', the door of the room was opened, revealing Yan Song's figure, and he said slowly.

"Come in!"

"Yes, father."

Yan Shifan did not hesitate at all, and went straight into Yan Song's room.

"Father, do you know who Zhao Zhenji handed over the important task of verifying the impeachment of this time?"

As soon as Yan Shifan entered the room, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and said this to Yan Song.

"Oh, who is it?"

Hearing this, Yan Song couldn't help but be interested, and immediately asked.

"Father, if you want me to say, this Zhao Zhenji is really despicable and shameless, and he actually handed over such a heavy responsibility to a person who has just come to serve in the Inspectorate, isn't it obvious that he wants to take the blame?"

Perhaps sensing Yan Song's gaze, Yan Shifan coughed lightly twice before he stepped into the topic.

"Ahem, father, Zhao Zhenji handed over the responsibility of verifying the impeachment to an official named Hai Rui."

"Besides, this Hai Rui used to be in Chun'an County, Zhejiang, and served as the county magistrate."

"He is under the rule of Hu Zongxian, and the child's subordinate Zheng Michang is still the top boss of this Hai Rui!"

Yan Shifan secretly observed the expression on Yan Song's face, and then added.

"You mean, this Hai Rui used to work in Zhejiang?"

I saw Yan Song turn his gaze to Yan Shifan and confirm instead.

"Yes, Father, it's true!"

Yan Shifan spoke, and his tone gradually became excited.

After listening to Yan Shifan's words, Yan Song pondered for a long time and then instructed.

"Yan Shifan, you go and let our people get in touch with this Hai Rui."

"If he is willing to stand on our side, then Xu Jie's gang will soon be unlucky!"

As soon as Yan Song's words fell, Yan Shifan replied in a deep voice.

"Yes, father, the boy will do it!"

Just as Yan Shifan was full of confidence and was about to leave, Yan Song's advice sounded in his ears again.

"By the way, don't forget the improvement of the flag that His Majesty ordered before!"

"We have to come up with a result as soon as possible and show it to His Majesty."

Hearing this, Yan Shifan paused as he walked away, and immediately responded respectfully.

"Father, the child knows."

……

In King Yu's mansion, Xu Jie and others also gathered together to discuss the next countermeasures.

"This Yan Song is really crazy, what does he want to do!"

From outside the study, Xu Jie's roar could be faintly heard.

"Elder Xu Ge, calm down!"

"That Yan Song acted so aggressively, he must have reached the point where there was no way back, so he chose to put all the chips on and make a last stand!"

Seeing this, Gao Gong on the side immediately spoke comfortingly.

"Alas, I understand what you said, but I didn't expect that this Yan Song's counterattack would be so decisive that we were caught off guard!"

After Gao Gong's admonition, Xu Jie gradually calmed down, and his tone was full of self-blame.

"Elder Xu Ge doesn't have to blame himself, we just need to act step by step and according to the plan."

Seeing this, Zhang Juzheng on the side also followed with a word of comfort.

"However, it is not without good news!"

I saw Xu Jie's words turn around, and after looking around, he said slowly.

"Not long ago, Tan Lun sent me a letter, in which he described in detail the current situation in Fujian."

Xu Jie paused when he said this, and then continued.

"The bandits who were entrenched in Fujian before have been wiped out by Tan Lun."

"Not only that, but he also seized a large sum of silver! Right now, this silver is being transported to the capital through the Grand Canal, and it should be a matter of a few days. ”

"In this way, we can be regarded as winning a good impression on His Majesty's side."

"In addition, Tan Lun also found out 15,000 acres of land deeds from the homes of those gentry landlords who colluded with the bandits!"

When Xu Jie said this, everyone present was shocked, this is 15,000 acres of land!

Then, I saw Zhu Zaikun stand up, and turned to Xu Jie's inquiry: "Dare to ask Xu Ge Lao, what should this fifteen thousand acres of land be used for?" ”

I saw Xu Jie turn his gaze to Zhu Zaikun, and said slowly: "Your Highness, this fifteen thousand acres of land will be distributed to those people who have no land according to the original plan!" ”

After answering Zhu Zaikun's doubts, Xu Jie immediately turned his attention to Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng on the side, and continued.

"And this is also the reason why Tan Lun wrote to me, he is weak and cannot contribute to this matter with his own strength!"

"He wants me to send officials to help with this."

Hearing this, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng glanced at each other before giving a response.

"Well, Elder Xu Ge, this thing has to be done!"

"Right now, the more affairs we undertake, the less likely it will be for Your Majesty to criticize us."

When Xu Jie heard what Gao Gong said, he also felt that it made sense, nodded and said slowly.

"Well, in that case, this matter is settled."

At this moment, Zhang Juzheng, who had been silent all along, spoke.

"Elder Xu Ge, do you know who the Inspectorate has recently entrusted with the task of verifying the impeachment?"

When Xu Jie heard this, he pondered for a moment before he slowly responded.

"I know, it seems to be an official named Hai Rui!"

After Xu Jie finished speaking, a look of disdain couldn't help but appear on his face, and he continued to add.

"This Zhao Zhenji is really despicable and shameless!"

"Actually let a person who has just come to the Inspectorate to take charge of this matter, is this not clear to let this Hai Rui come out to take the blame?"

"And he himself sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and reaps the benefits of the fisherman."

Xu Jie's words were naturally agreed by Gao Gong, and he nodded and then added.

"What Xu Ge said makes sense, this Zhao Zhenji is really despicable and shameless!"

Zhang Juzheng on the side just shook his head and said slowly.

"As far as I know, this Hai Rui previously served in Zhejiang, and his immediate boss was Zheng Michang, the political envoy of Zhejiang!"

Hearing this, Xu Jie and Gao Gong reacted, and at the same time, the vigilance of this Hai Rui in their hearts was also pulled to the highest.

"You mean, this Hai Rui is very likely to be from the Yan Party?"

Xu Jie hesitated for a moment and gave his opinion.

"I can't rule out this possibility for the time being, but I've heard that this Hai Rui is quite honest and upright, and he is extremely talented!"

"During the period when he was in Chun'an County, he governed the entire county in an orderly manner, and the people under his rule praised him."

"People like this shouldn't be in the same league as the Yan Party."

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and gave his own proposal.

Seeing this, Gao Gong on the side also fell into deep thought.

After a long time, I saw him slowly get up from his seat and look around before he spoke.

"In that case, let's send someone to contact this Hai Rui and spy on his reality! If we can get him to our side, it will also be of great benefit to the next plan. ”

"If he is really from the Yan Party, then we can also take advantage of the situation to get rid of him and clear a big obstacle!"

"What do you think?"

As soon as Gao Gong's words fell, the remaining few people made their positions clear.

"I'm fine."

"Me too."

"In that case, the matter is settled!"
