Chapter 336 Let Hai Rui Come
When Zhao Zhenji heard the news of Lu Fang's visit from his subordinates, he couldn't help but thump in his heart, and a look of panic appeared on his face.

The last time Lu Fang visited in person, she asked herself to go to Zhejiang to investigate the case as an imperial envoy!

"Could it be that something happened again?"

Zhao Zhenji thought so, and immediately asked his subordinates to welcome Lu Fang, who was waiting outside, into the inspector's office respectfully.

"I have seen Eunuch Lu!"

The moment he saw Lu Fang, Zhao Zhenji took a step ahead and saluted him respectfully.

"Ah."

Lu Fang just glanced at Zhao Zhenji quite plainly, and then continued.

"Lord Zhao, come with our house, His Majesty wants to see you in person!"

Zhao Zhenji heard the undeniable meaning contained in Lu Fang's words, summoned up the courage, and asked her.

"Eunuch Lu, please forgive me for being presumptuous, and dare to ask your majesty what is the reason for summoning this official?"

Hearing this, Lu Fang looked Zhao Zhenji up and down, and because of his filial piety, he explained.

"Specifically, it is related to Henan."

As soon as Lu Fang's words fell, Zhao Zhenji recalled in his mind the impeachment memorial submitted from Henan.

After a long time, he turned his eyes to Lu Fang, trembling with fear on his face.

"Eunuch Lu, is it... Could it be related to that incident?"

Seeing this, Lu Fang didn't say too much, but nodded silently.

After getting the exact answer from Lu Fang, Zhao Zhenji's complexion turned pale instantly, and he kept murmuring.

"But...but, this..."

Lu Fang seemed to see Zhao Zhenji's doubts, and immediately explained.

"This matter was revealed by my godson Feng Bao."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Fang took a panoramic view of the shock on Zhao Zhenji's face, and said slowly.

"Master Zhao, don't waste time, let's go!"

"Yes, Eunuch Lu."

After Zhao Zhenji replied weakly, he followed Lu Fang's footsteps and embarked on the road to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

……

The Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Your Majesty, Master Zhao has arrived!"

After Lu Fang brought Zhao Zhenji to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she came to Jiajing's side and reminded her.

"Well, I see."

Jiajing nodded when he heard the words, and took advantage of the situation to put the memorial in his hand aside.

As it happened, Lu Fang glimpsed through the corner of her eyes that the memorial in Jiajing's hand was the impeachment memorial submitted by Liu Yuan, the procurator of Henan Province.

Lu Fang looked away without any trace, although she didn't show any abnormality on the surface, there was already an uproar in her heart.

"Could it be that, before this, His Majesty has been reading this impeachment memorial?"

"If this is the case, things will be a big deal!"

Next, I saw Zhao Zhenji kneeling on the ground respectfully, saluting Jiajing.

"My minister bows to His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Jiajing's tone was quite flat, he waved his hands, and said so.

"Well, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Zhao Zhenji responded, she slowly got up from the ground. Perhaps because she was too frightened, Zhao Zhenji's body began to tremble uncontrollably!

And this scene was naturally seen by Jiajing who was sitting on the dragon chair.

Jiajing raised his eyebrows, turned his gaze to Zhao Zhenji, and asked.

"Zhao Zhenji, I haven't asked you yet, why are you shaking?"

When Jiajing said this, he deliberately paused for a moment before continuing.

"Could it be that you have done something wrong, and you can't let me know?"

Hearing Jiajing's heartbreaking words, Zhao Zhenji's body trembled more severely, and then he knelt down on the ground with a "plop" and explained to Jiajing with a look of fear on his face.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I... I am just overwhelmed by His Majesty's majesty!"

Jiajing naturally didn't believe Zhao Zhenji's statement full of loopholes.

However, Jiajing didn't get too entangled in this, and he turned his eyes to Lu Fang who was aside, and ordered in a deep voice.

"Lu Fang, show Zhao Zhenji this impeachment memorial!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Lu Fang finished speaking, she took the memorial, and immediately came to Zhao Zhenji, and handed the memorial to Zhao Zhenji.

After Zhao Zhenji finished browsing the contents of the impeachment memorandum, his brain crashed instantly, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he could only tremble.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this..."

Jiajing turned his gaze to Zhao Zhenji who was kneeling on the ground, and asked in a deep voice.

"Zhao Zhenji, as the censor, how should you explain this impeachment memorial?"

Sensing the emperor's vague gaze, Zhao Zhenji knew that if he couldn't answer this question well today, he would probably have to explain it here.

Afterwards, Zhao Zhenji gritted his teeth and explained to Jiajing.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have been busy collecting evidence related to land annexation recently!"

"I have never seen this impeachment memorial from the beginning to the end!"

"Otherwise, I will definitely submit it to you as soon as possible."

When Jiajing heard that Zhao Zhenji mentioned the matter of land annexation, he couldn't help but became interested, so he turned to ask.

"Oh, Zhao Zhenji, since you said that you have been busy collecting evidence about land annexation recently, let me ask you, how is your collection going?"

Facing Jiajing's questioning, Zhao Zhenji didn't dare to hide anything, and immediately told everything he knew so far.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the most serious land annexation is still in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"

When Zhao Zhenji said this, he paused for a moment before continuing.

"Jiaxing Yuan's family, 20 mu, Qiantang Xu's family, 18 mu, Yuyao Yu's family, 17 mu, and...and..."

When Zhao Zhenji said this, his face was full of hesitation, and he didn't dare to say any more.

Seeing this situation, Jiajing frowned slightly, and then said.

"What are you afraid of, keep talking, I'm here to support you!"

Jiajing's words undoubtedly gave Zhao Zhenji the confidence to continue talking.

Afterwards, Zhao Zhenji mustered up his courage, turned his gaze to Jiajing who was sitting on the dragon chair, and said in a deep voice.

"Also... And, the Xu family in Songjiang, 28 mu!"

Hearing this, Jiajing narrowed his eyes slightly and confirmed to Zhao Zhenji.

"You mean, Xu Jie's family has acquired 28 mu of land?"

Silence, deathly silence!

Facing Jiajing's question, Zhao Zhenji seemed to have lost his mind and stood there in a daze.

But sometimes, silence also represents an answer.

Time passed slowly like this, and in the end, it was Jiajing who spoke and broke the silence.

"Zhao Zhenji, you can't mention this matter in front of anyone in the future, do you understand?"

Zhao Zhenji's expression froze when he heard the words, and he said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lu Fang, who was waiting by Jiajing's side, knew that the emperor had already kept this matter in mind, and maybe at some point, he would reveal this matter and catch everyone by surprise!
Afterwards, Jiajing changed the subject, put the matter back on track, and asked Zhao Zhenji.

"Zhao Zhenji, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

Zhao Zhenji breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and after pondering for a moment, he gave his proposal.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to my humble minister, the issue of grain storage in the granary should indeed be strictly investigated!"

"If this matter is in charge of this matter, it may arouse the vigilance of those people. Therefore, this minister wants to recommend someone to His Majesty."

"Who?"

"Harry."
