Chapter 572: Hai Jui Returns
On the other hand, with the unremitting efforts of Hai Rui and Cao Feng, the governor of Shandong, the remnants of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong were finally completely wiped out!
At this moment, in the hall of the government office, Hai Rui was bidding farewell to Cao Feng, the governor of Shandong.
"Lord Cao, right now, the forces of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong have been completely wiped out, and not only that, but those who are related to the White Lotus Sect have also been punished as they deserve!"
"The matter has come to this, and it is time for this official to rush back to the capital and report to His Majesty!"
Cao Feng, who was sitting at the top, heard Hai Rui's words, and his face couldn't help but flash a trace of panic, and after organizing the language in his mind, he looked at Hai Rui cautiously and asked tentatively.
"My lord, what ...... next?"
Hai Rui seemed to see what Cao Feng was thinking, only to see him smiling and responding.
"Don't worry, Lord Cao, this official will truthfully report to Your Majesty the contributions you made in the process of exterminating the White Lotus Sect!"
After Cao Feng got Hai Rui's promise, the whole person immediately relaxed, and immediately, he saw him pick up the teacup on the table, take a sip, and then said in a deep voice.
"What is the use of the adult in the future, even if the words are spoken, the lower official will definitely go to the soup for the adult, and he will not hesitate!"
"Hmm."
Hai Rui did not comment on Mr. Cao's promise, but responded rather casually.
At this moment, I saw Cao Feng's staff walk in and report respectfully to him.
"Your Excellency the Governor, the officials who have been sent by the imperial court to the people who do not have land have arrived, do you see if it is ......?"
When Cao Feng heard what the staff said, his face showed displeasure, frowned, and then spoke.
"Hmph, a small Yiling Prefecture judge, where can he get such a big face, and he still needs this official, the governor of Shandong, to greet him?"
When Cao Feng's words fell, Hai Rui on the side thought for a moment, and then immediately asked the staff.
"What's the name of this Yiling Prefecture judge?"
Seeing Hai Rui's question, the staff member didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and immediately responded respectfully.
"Back to your lordship, that Yiling Prefecture judge, named Song Yiwang, it is said that he was previously sent by the imperial court to Fujian to distribute land to the local people who have no land!"
After listening to the staff's response, Hai Rui nodded and fell into deep thought.
Seeing this situation, Cao Feng on the side thought that this Song Yiwang and Hai Rui were old friends, and secretly said something bad in his heart, and immediately, he plucked up his courage and confirmed to Hai Rui.
"Big ...... My lord, do you know this Song Yiwang? ”
When Hai Rui heard this, he came back to his senses and responded without thinking.
"I don't know, this official is just that I've heard of this person's name!"
After this, I saw Hai Rui slowly get up from the seat, turn his gaze to Cao Feng, arch his hand, and said in a deep voice.
"Lord Cao, since this is the case, it is inconvenient for the official to continue to bother here, so he will leave first!"
"Slow down, adults!"
Seeing this, Cao Feng hurriedly lowered his head and hurriedly saluted Hai Rui.
After Hai Rui finished speaking, he just walked a few steps, and immediately turned back, and after looking Cao Feng up and down, he reminded him.
"By the way, Lord Cao, you must know that this Lord Song was sent down by the imperial court to distribute land to those people who have no land, you must not be lazy!"
When Cao Feng heard Hai Rui's words, his pupils contracted suddenly, and he reacted suddenly, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
In Cao Feng's opinion, Hai Rui was clearly reminding himself that although this Song Yiwang is only a Yiling Prefecture judge at present, the imperial court can entrust him with such an important matter as distributing land to the people, which shows that this person is not simple!
"There are people in the DPRK, and this time I came to Shandong, it was just a formality, and they were promoted when they went back!"
Thinking like this, Cao Feng immediately came back to his senses, looked at Hai Rui gratefully, and said in a deep voice.
"Thank you for the reminder, the lower officials are grateful!"
"Hmm."
After that, Hai Rui embarked on the journey back to the capital, and after several days of non-stop travel, Hai Rui finally returned to the capital after a long absence.
Looking at the scattered buildings around him and the bustling crowd, Hai Rui couldn't help but lift the sedan curtain and take a deep breath.
"Go to the Forbidden City!"
"Yes, sir!"
……
I don't know how long it has been, and a soft call came from outside the sedan chair, waking up Hai Rui, who was closing his eyes and recuperating at the moment.
"My lord, the Forbidden City is ahead!"
"Hmm."
Hai Rui answered, and then got out of the sedan chair, as early as when he just returned to the capital, the Forbidden City, got the news.
Hai Rui didn't wait too long, only to see a little eunuch walking towards him not far away, his face was full of respect, and after coming to Hai Rui, he lowered his head and asked respectfully.
"You are the left deputy capital Yu Shi Hairui, Lord Hai, right?"
Hearing this, Hai Rui nodded, and replied in a deep voice.
"Well, that's right, it's this official!"
"My lord, please come with me!"
When Hai Rui's words fell, the little eunuch suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded immediately, and spoke.
After this, Hai Rui followed in the footsteps of the little eunuch and marched towards the east gate of the Forbidden City.
Soon, under the leadership of the little eunuch, the two came to the east gate of the Forbidden City, and just like last time, the little eunuch took out a voucher from his bosom and handed it to the forbidden army to see, and they were let in.
Along the way, perhaps because he was bored, he saw Hai Rui turn his gaze, and the little eunuch who was leading the way in front asked.
"By the way, this official remembers, wasn't an old eunuch in charge of this before?"
When the little eunuch saw Hai Rui talking to him, he immediately slowed down and complained secretly.
"Hmph, it's not because I can't get a trace of oil and water from you, so those senior eunuchs are reluctant to come over, and the dignified and third-grade important members of the court are reluctant to pay even a little benefit!"
"In the end, drudgery like this still falls on a little eunuch like us, who has just entered the palace!"
Although the little eunuch complained so much in his heart, on the bright side, the look on his face was extremely respectful, and he responded.
"If you go back to your lordship, Gonggong Li, who is in charge of this matter, has been unwell recently, so I will temporarily replace him!"
"Hmm."
After getting a specific answer from the little eunuch, Hai Rui was no longer entangled in this matter.
In this way, after the little eunuch took Hai Rui to a place not far from the Qianqing Palace, he stopped.
"My lord, there is the Qianqing Palace in front, please wait here for a while!"
"Well, I'm tired of my father-in-law!"
When Hai Rui heard this, he immediately nodded, and subconsciously looked at the Qianqing Palace not far away.
When the little eunuch heard this, his steps to leave slammed suddenly, and at this moment, his face was full of incredulity.
Because the little eunuch who has just entered the palace, no matter where he is, is the most lowly existence.
You must know that in this deep palace, there is not much warmth, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life!
On weekdays, these little eunuchs are living on thin ice, trembling all day long, frightened, afraid of annoying their superiors or colleagues.
Their reward is not only often exploited, but on weekdays, the attitude of the boss towards these little eunuchs is also quite rude, and the slightest unpleasantness is a severe beating.
Several of the companions who entered the palace with the little eunuch have already died!
Not only that, but those ministers in the court are also high-minded, looking at people with their nostrils all day long, and if they are not careful, they will also be severely beaten.
And the little eunuch knew very well in his heart that this Hai Rui in front of him was the left deputy of the Inspectorate, the imperial history, and a member of the three grades of the imperial court!
Even the courtiers who are majestic and invincible on weekdays have to obediently lower their heads and take the initiative to get close to him when they see him.
And right now, it is such a high-ranking and powerful court official who is trusted by His Majesty that he would actually express his gratitude to him, the lowliest little eunuch in the Forbidden City.
"Except that he has no money, this Hai Daren is really a good person!"
Thinking so, the little eunuch quickly quickened his pace.
