When the slave's words fell, everyone present couldn't help but look at Xu Jie.

They were curious about what had happened to make the butler so anxious that he sent the letter to King Yu's Mansion!

Facing everyone's gaze, Xu Jie secretly swallowed his saliva, took the envelope from the slave's hand as usual, and turned to command.

"Well, I've received the letter, you go down!"

When the slave heard this, he immediately glanced cautiously at Zhu Zaikun, who was sitting not far away, and saw that Zhu Zaikun nodded, and the slave breathed a sigh of relief and responded respectfully.

"Yes, Elder Xu Ge!"

After this, the servant did not pause for the slightest, and turned away from the study without making any noise as much as possible, and took the door of the study with him.

After the slave left, everyone's eyes converged on the envelope in Xu Jie's hand.

For a moment, the whole study was silent, and no one spoke.

Seeing this, Xu Jie immediately sat back in his place, unhurriedly opened the envelope in his hand, and began to browse the contents on it.

Xu Jie's reading of the content of less than two lines was already furious, and immediately, he saw Xu Jie's slam on the table and scolded angrily.

"These damn fools are really not enough to accomplish and more to lose!"

Everyone was taken aback by Xu Jie's sudden movement, and after a moment of silence, they saw Gao Gong stand up and ask Xu Jie.

"Elder Xu Ge, what happened to make you so angry?"

And Xu Jie was not in the mood to answer Gao Gong's doubts at this moment, but just handed the letter in his hand to Gao Gong's hand and said slowly.

"See for yourself, these idiots are really stupid!"

When Gao Gong heard this, he immediately took the letter from Xu Jie's hand, although Gao Gong had already made a certain amount of psychological preparation before this, but when he read the contents of the letter from beginning to end, he was still shocked.

"Elder Xu Ge, this and this ......"

Immediately, I saw Gao Gong pointing his finger at the letter in his hand, his face was full of shock, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Xu Jie sighed helplessly, and immediately explained: "Those fools wanted to use a certificate to escort official salt to divert the attention of Cao Shunhe, the governor of Jiangxi, but who knew that it was self-defeating, so that this Cao Shunhe found those buried bones!" ”

"And, one of those bones is missing, that is, someone has survived it!"

When Xu Jie's words fell, the entire study fell into a strange silence!

Everyone present knew very well what Xu Jie's words meant, which meant that the things that had been covered up before would be very likely to be found out!

When Zhu Zaikun heard this, a little panic suddenly appeared on his face, he gritted his teeth, and proposed to Xu Jie: "Elder Xu Ge, why don't we strike first, and impeach this Cao Shunhe before he finds out more?" ”

After listening to Zhu Zaikun's proposal, Xu Jie shook his head and said slowly.

"Your Highness, no, the previous officials who impeached Cao Shunhe have all been raided by Jinyiwei on trumped-up charges!"

"Most of the dispatches of those brocade guards are at the behest of Your Majesty, and Your Majesty's move is to draw a boundary, that is, the feudal officials cannot be impeached at will!"

"If anyone is obsessed, those who came before will be doomed!"

After listening to Xu Jie's explanation, Zhu Zaikun also quickly gave up this idea: "Yes, the tragic situation of those people before is still vivid, and now they are still rushing to impeach, aren't they looking for death?" ”

After this, the look in Zhu Zaikun's eyes gradually dimmed, and he couldn't think of any way to avoid this.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a little gloomy, Zhang Juzheng immediately stood up and comforted him.

"You don't have to worry too much, after all, so much time has passed, and even a little evidence remains, it can't threaten us!"

"Perhaps, the missing corpse was washed away by the heavy rain."

It's just that Zhang Juzheng's comfort is destined to have no effect, and the look in Xu Jie's eyes has become gloomy.

"No, absolutely not, there is only one last step left before defeating the Yan Party, and there must be no mistakes in such a trivial matter!"

"As long as this period of time is delayed, everything will be fine, don't blame me, you all brought it on yourself!"

In this way, Xu Jie made up his mind in his heart to kill all those who knew about it, so as to avoid this matter from being involved in himself.

……

And on the other side, Yan Fu.

When Xu Jie and others were discussing countermeasures in Yuwang's Mansion, Yan Song was not idle, and at this moment he was telling Yan Shifan about specific matters.

I saw Yan Song turn his gaze to Yan Shifan on the side, and asked.

"Do you remember what I told you earlier?"

When Yan Shifan heard this, he immediately assured Yan Song without thinking.

"Father, the child remembers, and the child will definitely do as you tell him!"

Perhaps feeling a little uneasy, Yan Song picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and continued to advise.

"Remember, this thing must be done beautifully, and nothing can go wrong!"

When Yan Song said this, he seemed to suddenly remember, and then added.

"By the way, when the time comes, when negotiating with those merchants, try to send some honest and capable people, like Luo Longwen and Yan Maoqing, don't let them get involved!"

After patiently listening to Yan Song's advice, Yan Shifan immediately buried his head deeply and responded.

"Yes, father, the child knows."

After Yan Song's reminder, it reminded Yan Shifan of a lot of things.

Immediately, after Yan Shifan finished sorting out the language in his mind, he cautiously reported to Yan Songyu.

"By the way, father, speaking of this Yan Maoqing, the child suddenly thought that some time ago, this Yan Maoqing received a large sum of money from others, but he didn't get it done."

"Seeing that the matter was not done, the person who sent the silver to Yan Maoqing before wanted Yan Maoqing to return some of the silver, but this Yan Maoqing was unwilling to live or die!"

"This matter was in a big uproar not long ago, but it was suppressed by the child, you see......"

After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he stopped speaking and quietly waited for Yan Song's instructions.

After listening to Yan Shifan's narration, Yan Song was also angry, and immediately commanded.

"This Yan Maoqing, did you fall into the eyes of money?"

"Since the matter has not been done, the request for a return of part of the silver should also be made, and it is not for him to return it all, and if he continues to be entangled like this, what if the matter gets bigger?"

When Yan Shifan heard this, he immediately cautiously asked Yan Song, "Father, what do you mean ......?"

I saw Yan Song glance at Yan Shifan, and said impatiently.

"Isn't what I mean obvious enough, let this Yan Maoqing quickly return the excess silver to others!"

When Yan Shifan heard this, he hurriedly responded respectfully.

"Yes, father, the child will relay your words to Yan Maoqing!"

Seeing this, Yan Song sighed helplessly, withdrew his gaze from Yan Shifan's body, and said with emotion.

"Alas, with this kind of worm, how can you help Your Majesty do good things?"

When Yan Song said this, perhaps he lost his patience, waved his hand, and said to Yan Shifan.

"Okay, it's not too early, you should go back and rest early!"

"Yes, Father!"

When Yan Shifan heard this, he turned around and left the room after saluting Yan Song respectfully, and in the room, the orange light reflected Yan Song's figure, and the sound of coughing continued to sound in the room.

……

After that, another three days passed.

Early in the morning, by the pier.

Several officials of the political envoy department were yawning incessantly, gathering together and gossiping.

I saw a short and fat official, who sighed helplessly, and turned to complain to his companions on the side.

"Alas, how will the next few days be lived, the political envoy doesn't know what to think, but he wants us to wait stupidly at this dock, saying that there will be food delivered soon!"

"But it's been almost half a month, not to mention food, and I haven't even seen the shadow of a boat!"

The official's words, without a doubt, resonated with everyone present, and the rest of the people also joined in one after another.

I saw a tall official stand up, look around, and then lower his voice.

"Yes, a few of our brothers are suffering here, and those adults are very comfortable!"

"By the way, there are no outsiders here, I heard that the relief grain that should have belonged to those mulberry farmers was given by the people from the government......"

Before the official could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the rest of his companions.

"Lao Wang, you don't want to die, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, if you let the political envoy know, we will not be able to eat and go around!"

"yes, yes, don't talk about it."

Seeing this, the companion on the side hurriedly diverted the topic.

At this moment, I saw a sharp-eyed official, stretching out his finger and pointing into the distance, and said excitedly: "Look at it, what's over there!" ”

The people looked in the direction the man was pointing, and saw in the distance several large ships suddenly revealing their figures, and a slight breeze blew by, rippling in the water.

"Yes...... It's a ship, it's a ship that transports grain, hurry up and report this matter to the political envoy, quick! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, the officials on these docks suddenly became scrambling.

……

In the political envoy department, at this moment, Zheng Michang was sitting next to the bookcase, his brows were tightly locked, and his face was full of sorrow.

"Alas, there is only so much food left, what can I do next!"

After Zheng Michang finished speaking, he put aside the report sorted out by his subordinates in his hand and rubbed his temples with his hands.

In that report, the remaining grain in the current granary was recorded in detail.

If this continues, Zheng Michang can already roughly predict what will happen next.

For a long time, the relief food that those Sannong received from the government could barely fill their stomachs, so that they and their families would not fall into an even more miserable situation.

But the grievances will gradually accumulate, and now the grievances in the hearts of those Sannong for the government are about to reach their peak, and when the time comes, it only takes a little spark to completely detonate the long-suppressed emotions in the hearts of these Sannong!

"It seems that when the time comes, the government will still have to punch hard and suppress this group of mulberry farmers!"

Zheng Michang thought so, when he planned to call his subordinates, he told them to prepare in advance.

At this moment, there was a sharp knock on the door from outside the door, and when Zheng Michang saw this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately commanded.

"Come in!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a guard hurriedly enter the room, panting heavily, and reporting to Zheng Michangyu.

"Your Excellency, the ship's ...... Boat, yard ...... There are a lot of big ships on the other side of the docks! ”

"What, you say it again!"

When Zheng Michang heard this, he suddenly got up from his seat and immediately asked the guard.

Under Zheng Michang's repeated questioning, he got detailed information from the guard's mouth: "It turns out that not long ago, many big ships loaded with grain suddenly came to the dock!" ”

After Zheng Michang learned the exact news from the guard's mouth, the whole person suddenly became cheering, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

After that, Zheng Michang didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly took a sedan chair and rushed to the direction of the governor's palace, he wanted to share the good news with Hu Zongxian.

Zheng Michang soon came to the Governor's Palace, and after the sedan chair stopped, Zheng Michang hurriedly got off the sedan chair and walked towards the Governor's Mansion regardless of it.

It's just that as soon as he walked to the door, Zheng Michang was stopped by the guards at the door.

"Your Excellency, what are you?"

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and let the official in, the official has something important to report, if you delay the matter, can you afford it?"

Although the guards were very frightened by what Zheng Michang said, they still kept their duty.

"If the envoy wants to enter the governor's palace, please wait for us to go in and inform the governor!"

"Okay, okay, you guys hurry up and go in and report it, just say that this official has something extremely important, and you have to tell the governor in person!"

Seeing that the attitude of the guards was very resolute, Zheng Michang waved his hand helplessly, and turned to speak.

"Yes, Envoy Servant!"

Seeing that Zheng Michang's attitude was a little relaxed, the expressions on their faces suddenly seemed to be amnesty, and they hurriedly responded.

After this, one of the guards entered the governor's palace with hurried steps.

At this moment, Hu Zongxian was in the study, dealing with the corresponding official documents, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside the door.

When Hu Zongxian heard this, he put down the brush in his hand and commanded instead.

"Come in!"

The voice fell, and I saw the previous guard push the door and walk in, respectfully reporting.

"Your Excellency the Governor, right now the Governor is waiting outside, and he said that he has something extremely important to report to you in person!"

When Hu Zongxian heard this, he nodded, and then immediately commanded.

"Well, let him in!"
