I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 178 Meeting Hu Zongxian

In a dimly lit room, a man wearing a flying fish suit knelt down on one knee, handed out the file in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, everything is going well!"

"Well, you did a good job in this matter, and I will give credit to you in the report."

Opposite the man, there was a thin old man sitting. The old man was not wearing a flying fish suit like other Jinyiwei, but a very ordinary robe. He was the person in charge of this operation, Jinyiwei Liu Mi, the envoy of Zhenfu.

"Thank you sir!"

Seeing this, the man couldn't help but be overjoyed and thanked repeatedly.

"Okay, let's go quickly, the horses are ready, don't delay!"

Liu Mi turned his gaze to the visitor and ordered so.

"Yes!"

After the man answered, he turned around and left the room. There was already a fast horse prepared outside the room, and there was still enough dry food and water to support the next station.

"drive!"

The man got on his horse and swung his whip violently. The horse under him suffered from pain and galloped away in an instant.

In the room, the governor Liu Mi stood up, poured himself a cup of tea, and said silently, "Now, there is going to be a big earthquake in Zhejiang, cough cough."

……

After Zheng Michang came out of the restaurant, he rushed to the governor's mansion as quickly as possible, wanting to inform Hu Zongxian about this.

"Please go in and inform the Governor-General that you have something urgent to report!"

Zheng Michang paced anxiously at the gate of the governor's mansion, and kept urging the guards at the gate.

"Master Chief Executive, it's not that we don't want to go in to report, but the governor has already ordered that no one should disturb him until he has finished handling his official duties!"

"If we rashly go in to report and disturb the governor, we won't be able to eat and walk away!"

The guard at the gate of the Governor's Mansion showed apology, and refused to go in to report anything.

"Okay, you don't want to report for me, right! Then I will go in by myself!"

As Zheng Michang said, he wanted to forcibly enter the Governor's Mansion.

And Zheng Michang's behavior also made the guards at the gate of the Governor's Mansion quite nervous, subconsciously pulled out the long knife at his waist, and said in a deep voice: "Master Chief Executive, please don't embarrass me!"

"You guys!"

Seeing that the guards of the governor's mansion dared to draw their swords at him, Zheng Michang subconsciously took two steps back, then reacted and pointed at the guards with his index finger.

"Master Chief Executive, I'm sorry, the Governor's Mansion has regulations, those who trespass into the Governor's Mansion will be killed without mercy!"

"You'd better wait a little longer, maybe the governor will finish the official business soon?"

Seeing this, the guard at the gate of the Governor's Mansion retracted the unsheathed knife, and his tone softened.

"Okay, I will continue to wait here! If the matter is delayed by then, I will definitely not spare you!"

Zheng Michang looked up and down the guards in the Governor's Mansion, and then threatened them.

In the study, Hu Zongxian put down the brush in his hand and let out a long sigh of relief.

After spending such a long time, Hu Zongxian finally finished handling all the official affairs in the Governor's Mansion. Just as he got up from his seat and came to the yard to exercise his muscles and bones, he heard a burst of noise from outside.

These officials in the Governor's Mansion will never make any noise when Hu Zongxian is concentrating on official duties!
Therefore, the noise from outside became more obvious.

Hu Zongxian frowned involuntarily, called his subordinates, and asked, "What happened outside? Why are you so noisy?"

Seeing this, the subordinates summoned by Hu Zongxian had no choice but to respond: "Please wait a moment, Governor, and wait for the subordinates to go down and check the situation."

"Well, hurry up and come back."

After Hu Zongxian gave an order, he began to stretch his body in the yard.

After a while, the previous subordinate came back and respectfully reported to Hu Zongxian: "Report to the Governor, and outside is the Chief Political Envoy. He said that there is an extremely urgent matter to report to you!"

"But you ordered before that no one is allowed to disturb you before you finish your business!"

"Well, I know, let him come in! I'm curious, what exactly does he mean when he said it's urgent."

After listening to his subordinate's report, Hu Zongxian nodded and said so.

"Yes, my lord governor, this subordinate will let the chief envoy come in!"

After receiving Hu Zongxian's order, the subordinates left quickly.

A moment later, Zheng Michang followed in the footsteps of such a subordinate and entered the governor's mansion.

Zheng Michang's face was full of panic, and the moment he saw Hu Zongxian, he couldn't help but said: "My lord, it's not good, something serious has happened!"

"What's the matter, don't worry, speak slowly."

Seeing that Zheng Michang was in such a panic, Hu Zongxian quickly comforted him.

"Your Excellency, the matter is like this..."

Regardless of the presence of other people, Zheng Michang told Hu Zongxian exactly what happened.

"What, say it again? Hai Rui wants to report to the court that the government's tax reductions and exemptions have not been implemented!"

After listening to Zheng Michang's narration, Hu Zongxian couldn't help frowning, as if he didn't want to believe it, and repeated it again.

"Yes, Mr. Governor, that's what Hai Rui thinks. What should we do next!"

Zheng Michang's face was full of anxiety, and he kept pacing in place.

"This Hai Rui, does he know what he's doing? If this matter gets involved, all officials in Zhejiang, no, most of the country, won't be able to escape!"

After Hu Zongxian thought for a moment, he quickly understood the seriousness of the matter, and then ordered.

"You go, take a team to the Chun'an county government office, and see if Hai Rui has returned."

"Also, mobilize all the people in the city who can be mobilized! See if we can find any trace of Hai Rui."

"My lord governor, before this, I have sent a team to the Chun'an county government! There must be news soon."

After listening to Hu Zongxian's deployment, Zheng Michang replied in a deep voice.

"Well, you've done a good job, now, hurry up and mobilize people."

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

After Zheng Michang finished speaking, he walked away quickly, leaving only Hu Zongxian standing there alone.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Zongxian roughly conceived in his mind the possible consequences after this matter was brought to His Majesty. After a long time, Hu Zongxian sighed helplessly and said to himself silently.

"Oh, what a troubled time!"

In fact, deep down in his heart, Hu Zongxian hoped that His Majesty would know about this matter!It's just that this matter involves too much.

Hu Zongxian has a calm personality and is mature and prudent. He couldn't predict the emperor's reaction after learning about the matter. For the sake of the overall situation in the southeast, he has put the matter on hold.

If His Majesty learns about this matter and really pursues it, let alone a mere Zhejiang, the officials of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty will be beheaded according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty!

Just when Hu Zongxian's thoughts were racing, he happened to catch a glimpse of Zheng Michang who had left before returning again.

"What's wrong, what happened?"

Hu Zongxian turned his gaze to Zheng Michang and asked.

"Report...report to the governor, Hai Rui is waiting at the gate of the governor's mansion."

The expression on Zheng Michang's face was very complicated, and he responded to Hu Zongxian.

"Oh, let him in!"

Hu Zongxian sighed and ordered helplessly.

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

After receiving the order, the guards at the side let Hai Rui, who was waiting at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, in.
