After discussing the matters that need to be paid attention to in the operation, everyone left the palace one after another, and Hai Rui also returned to the post station where he lived.

In the evening, the people of the city were amazed to find in the streets a number of hurried and heavily armed officials.

"What's going on, is it possible that the government is arresting the remnants of the White Lotus Sect again?"

"Alas, who knows, there is no one to live in peace all day long!"

"Don't look at the excitement, let's leave quickly, be careful of those officials later, treat you as a remnant of the White Lotus Sect, and arrest you in prison!"

"Yes, that's right, let's hurry home and stop wandering the streets!"

Soon, however, the people in the street noticed a strange phenomenon, that the officials were not marching outside the city, but approaching the homes of the famous gentry and wealthy families in the city.

"Could it be that the government's target is those wealthy gentry?"

For no reason, the people nearby couldn't help but have such an idea in their hearts.

However, this idea only appeared for a moment, and was denied by themselves: "How can it be, the government and those wealthy gentry are a nest of snakes and rats, colluding with each other!" ”

At this moment, Wang Qian is leading his officials to march towards the famous rich family in the city, the Zhang family.

"Boss, why did you say this time, let us arrest the head of the Zhang family, don't we receive a lot of favors from the Zhang family on weekdays, not long ago the Zhang family sent someone to send ......"

Just as everyone was moving quickly along the road, the subordinates on the side couldn't hold back the curiosity in their hearts, and turned to ask Wang Qian.

When Wang Qian heard this, the expression on his face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he immediately reprimanded.

"Shut up, don't you want to die?"

After that, I saw Wang Qian pause suddenly, turned around, motioned for everyone to stop, and immediately explained to his confused subordinates.

"Not long ago, I received an order from above, saying that this Zhang family has colluded with the White Lotus Sect, if you want to live, you will rot all the previous things in your stomach, understand?"

After listening to Wang Qian's narration, everyone was also extremely shocked, because the incident happened suddenly, they just got the order from above, and they hurriedly set off, without understanding the reason behind it in detail.

And now, how could they not be shocked to hear that their prefect had personally told them that the famous and wealthy families in the city had actually colluded with the White Lotus Sect?

After all, colluding with the White Lotus Sect is a capital crime!

Thinking of the past, the faces of these officials were full of fear.

Wang Qian looked around and then continued to add.

"I'll tell you the truth, we're pretty good, I heard that there are also soldiers from the guard station!"

"What!"

At this moment, those officials were already extremely shocked, this matter had actually developed to the point where it was necessary to dispatch the guards on the other side, which shows how serious this matter is!

Wang Qian was very satisfied with the reaction of his subordinates, only to see him cough lightly twice, and continued to add.

"So, everyone must be cautious when they act next, do you understand?"

Wang Qian's words fell, and the remaining officials immediately said in unison.

"Yes, sir!"

After that, Wang Qian led his officials and officials to march non-stop towards the street where Zhang's house was located.

Wang Qian didn't spend too much time, so he took people to the street where Zhang's house was located in the city.

Zhang's family is a well-known wealthy family in the city, therefore, its decoration is also quite luxurious, on both sides of the gate of Zhang's house, each stands a lifelike stone lion, only from the stone material it uses, it is known that its price is expensive, in the mouth of the stone lion, there are also stone beads.

On the red gate, there are two huge gilt copper buckles, which are used to knock on the door, and the wood used for the gate is also very expensive, if you smell closely, you can smell a unique fragrance.

On the gate, there is also a plaque with gilt font on it, with the word Zhangjia written on it.

At this moment, the little guy in charge of guarding the door at the door of Zhang's house saw Wang Qian coming to the door of Zhang's house with an official errand in full gear, and when he just wanted to reprimand, he was controlled by Wang Qian's men.

Wang Qian looked at the magnificent Zhang family in front of him, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and after suppressing all the chaotic thoughts in his heart, he immediately turned around and commanded his subordinates behind him.

"You guys, surround this place, and the rest of you will go in with me!"

"Yes, sir!"

When Wang Qian's words fell, these officials immediately began to act, and soon, near Zhang's house, they were surrounded by heavily armed officials with swords.

When the people inside heard the movement coming from outside and came out to investigate the situation, they were greeted by the long knives of the officials.

"Who are you, what do you want to do, ah!"

"I waited for this time on the orders of the government to come to arrest the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, and those who dare to resist will be killed!"

Situations like this are constantly being staged, and all the wealthy gentry involved in the list cannot escape, and tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

……

The time of the night passed in the blink of an eye, early in the morning, Zhejiang, the governor's palace of Zhejiang.

Soon after the grain from Fujian was delivered, the grain promised by Cao Shunhe, the governor of Jiangxi, was also delivered one after another.

Because of this, after having enough food as support, the local people who planted mulberry seedlings in Zhejiang gradually settled down, and everything is developing in the best direction.

In recent days, Hu Zongxian can be said to be quite leisurely, and there is nothing else to do every day except for dealing with the daily affairs of the Governor's Palace.

Because of this, Hu Zongxian occasionally goes fishing in his spare time to pass the boring time.

"It's a nice day!"

Hu Zongxian walked out of the room, looked at the sky outside, and said with emotion.

At this moment, I saw a guard hurriedly come up and report respectfully.

"Your Excellency the Governor, someone has come to the palace, and he is currently waiting in the council hall!"

When Hu Zongxian heard this, a look of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face, and immediately, he saw him gather his mind and command the guard.

"Well, let's bring the official over!"

Subsequently, under the leadership of this guard, Hu Zongxian walked to the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion and met the visitor.

When the visitor saw Hu Zongxian's arrival, he immediately got up from his seat, and while kneeling on the ground, he carefully took out the letter from his bosom, held it high above his head, and reported respectfully.

"Your Excellency the Governor, here is a handwritten letter from Your Majesty!"

"Well, bring it up!"

When Hu Zongxian heard this, he responded imperceptibly, and then ordered.

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

After getting Hu Zongxian's permission, the visitor immediately got up from the ground, stepped forward slowly, and handed the envelope in his hand to Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian looked at the envelope in his hand, turned his gaze to the person who came, and commanded.

"Well, the official has already received the letter, you go down and rest first!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

Seeing that the purpose of his trip had been achieved, the visitor immediately left the council hall and went to the corresponding room to rest, under the guidance of the guards of the governor's palace. (End of chapter)
