I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 138 Xu Jie realized something was wrong
After Lu Fang left, the Jiajing book case was opened from the secret letter submitted by the Jinyiwei Office sent to Zhejiang, and he began to browse the contents.

The secret letter introduced in detail the cause of the case and the people involved. The more Jiajing looked down, the more he frowned.

After Jiajing read all the contents of the secret letter, he clenched the secret letter in his hand, with a cold expression on his face: "Hmph, a small private salt dealer can actually have such energy! It seems that what Hu Zongxian said earlier is correct , these salt merchants should be dealt with, let’s take your Wen family first.”

After Jiajing finished speaking, he turned the magic power in his body, and then a lavender flame appeared in his hand, burning the secret letter in his hand to ashes.

Immediately afterwards, Jiajing returned to the dragon chair and sat down, and said silently to himself: "Hai Rui, do I want to use you right now..."

……

Capital City, Prince Yu's Mansion.

The atmosphere in the study was quite dull, and for a long time, no one spoke.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Xu Jie stopped and asked everyone.

"Mr. Xu Ge, as far as I know, the Wen family started their business by selling private salt! And our people have something to do with the Wen family, so that's why..." Seeing this, Gao Gong immediately responded. .

"That's right, Mr. Xu Ge! Most of those people in Zhejiang have received money from the Wen family, so they dare not act rashly." Zhang Juzheng on the side also added immediately.

"Hmph, this matter has already reached His Majesty. Our memorial to impeach Zheng Michang has also been ignored, and there is no reply! Don't you understand the meaning of this?" Xu Jie snorted coldly, Explained to everyone.

"Elder Xu Ge means that His Majesty is behind this matter?" Seeing this, Gao Gong frowned and put forward his own idea.

"That's natural. Didn't there be news that someone gave His Majesty a memorial about salt merchants and smuggling of illicit salt? Presumably since then, His Majesty has made up his mind to deal with these salt merchants!"

"And the current situation couldn't be more obvious. His Majesty wants to use this case of the Wen family to make an example of others! This also explains why there is no news of all the memorials submitted by our people. "

Perhaps Xu Jie was tired from talking, so he immediately sat back on the chair and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Then what should we do? If it continues and angers the emperor, it will be difficult to handle." After listening to Xu Jie's analysis, Zhu Zaixi suddenly realized.

"Your Highness, the most important thing right now is to break away from those people in Zhejiang, so as not to let this fire burn on us." Gao Gong on the side also added immediately.

"Well, Gao Ge is right!" Zhang Juzheng on the side also agreed with Gao Gong's proposal.

"I will order them later to stop submitting impeachment reports! In addition, I also urge them to cut off all connections."

"But, Mr. Xu Ge, Li Zhiquan has made great contributions to us!" Gao Gong, who was at the side, couldn't bear to hear Xu Jie's arrangement, and comforted him.

"What time is it, and the benevolence of these women! No matter how great the contribution is, should we all be buried with him because of him alone?" After listening to Gao Gong's words, Xu Jie said, Out of breath, he immediately refuted.

On the other hand, after Zhang Juzheng heard Xu Jie's remarks, disgust flashed in his eyes.

This Li Zhiquan has made great contributions to the whole Qingliu, but now Xu Jie is not even willing to try in order to protect himself, but directly chooses to abandon it, which makes Zhang Juzheng feel a sense of sadness.

This made Zhang Juzheng think of His Majesty's evaluation of Xu Jie in the early years: "Xu Jie is a villain, never use it!"

……

Zhejiang, Zhejiang Governor's Mansion.

Since the last public trial of Wen Rong, the youngest son of the Wen family, the case has ended perfectly!Hai Rui, who was in charge of supervising the case, naturally won the support of the people, and he, the chief envoy of Zhejiang Province, was also praised by many people.

"Is that Wen Rong signed and signed?" Zheng Michang said, calling the relevant personnel and asking.

"Report to Chief Political Envoy, that Wen Rong has admitted his crime and has signed his signature!"

Zheng Michang frowned after listening to the report of the relevant personnel, obviously dissatisfied.

"Who asked you to sign and pledge for him on your own initiative? It is clear that all the cases on him have not been investigated! Say, did you take money from the Wen family and try to protect him?"

Zheng Michang drank the tea in the cup and said unhurriedly.

"Master Chief Minister, I have been wronged! Who dares to take the risk to collect money from Wen's family now? If others find out, they will be stabbed in the back!"

Seeing Zheng Michang's understatement, he labeled everyone as accepting bribes. The jailer in charge of Wen Rong saw this, knelt down on the ground, and cried.

"Get up, get up! I am very clear about whether you have collected the money from the Wen family. The purpose of my actions is not to wrong a good person, but also not to let a bad person go!"

"Go down and check carefully to see if there are other things about Wen Rong that you haven't found out, such as the things he was involved in with the Wen family, and so on."

After Zheng Michang finished speaking, he looked at the people kneeling on the ground, and said slowly.

"Master Chief Minister wants to use Wen Rong's confession to attack the Wen family. He must have taken a fancy to the wealth accumulated by the Wen family from selling private salt for so many years. This appetite is really big. !"

This is the true thought of everyone present at this moment.

But at this moment, there is only one choice before them, and that is to cooperate with Zheng Bichang!Otherwise, they would not be able to get out of the governor's mansion safely, and would soon be arrested on various charges.

"My lord chief minister, this time it was our negligence! We rashly signed Wen Rong's crimes without fully finding out what she committed. Damn it!"

The jailer in charge of guarding Wen Rong quickly realized that he knelt on the ground and slapped himself repeatedly.

"Well, not bad, you guys, you have to learn more from him!" After Zheng Michang finished speaking, he got up from the chair and was helped up by others.

"You guys, don't have too much psychological burden. Anyway, Wen Rong is already a dead person, and there is nothing wrong with adding a few more charges to him."

……

Chun'an County, County Government Office.

Hai Rui has returned to Chun'an County non-stop since finishing the case.

"Here, take these files down." Hai Rui said to the master who had been waiting for a long time.

"Yes, magistrate!" After the chief secretary finished speaking, he came to Hai Rui, intending to take the file away.

"If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Seeing the hesitant expression on the master's face, Hai Rui spoke.

"Phew, magistrate, you've shown your face this time!" After hearing Hai Rui's words, the chief secretary was obviously relieved, and then praised.

"Where, I just did what I should do." Hai Rui didn't comment on the director's compliment, but continued to be busy with the official duties at hand.

"Our Chun'an County has a magistrate like you who hates evil and cares about the people. It is really a blessing for the tens of thousands of people in Chun'an County!"

After the master finished speaking, he left with the dossier in his arms.

But Hai Rui just shook his head, picked up the teacup on the table, drank the tea in the cup, and said with emotion: "The tea from the county government has a special flavor!"
