I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 373 Unexpectedly

After Hai Rui's words fell, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze.

Most of the people in the room saw the scene where Hai Rui spilled the wine in his glass on the ground just now.

"This is obviously a toast to the dead!"

"Or, has the imperial envoy already sentenced the governor to death in his heart?"

Soon, someone came to their senses and looked at Hai Rui with fear in their eyes.

Some people even want to find an excuse to go to the toilet and stay away from this place of right and wrong!
However, their plan was doomed to fail. Hai Rui seemed to have seen through what they were thinking, and after looking around, he said in a low voice.

"If anyone dares to take a step out of this room today, don't blame me for being rude!"

All the people present were overwhelmed by the aura exuding from Hai Rui's body, and they all lost their minds. They could only stay in the room with Hai Rui, waiting for the news.

Pan Xian on the side seemed quite unconvinced by this, he turned his eyes away from Hai Rui, and said slowly.

"Master Imperial Envoy, have you forgotten whose territory this is?"

Hearing this, Hai Rui picked up the jug on the table and poured himself another glass of wine.

"Of course, this officer is very clear, but even so, what can you do with this officer?"

"Don't forget, I am an imperial envoy sent by His Majesty!"

After Hai Rui finished speaking, he smiled, and immediately raised his wine glass, facing Pan Xian's direction, toasted a glass of wine.

Seeing this situation, Yang Yinglin at the side hurried forward to smooth things over.

"Everyone is working for the imperial court. In the final analysis, we are all colleagues. If there is something that we can't sit down and talk about, come on, let's have a drink!"

After Yang Yinglin finished speaking, he laughed sarcastically, and immediately raised his wine glass to himself.

However, no one at the scene responded to his words, and everyone was watching the direction of the matter with cold eyes.

Time passed by like this minute by minute, and I don't know how long it took, only to hear a 'squeak', and the door of the room was pushed open.

A servant hurried in, his face full of anxiety.

"My lord is bad, the granary in the suburbs is on fire!"

Hearing this, Hai Rui looked as if he had expected it, then slowly got up from the seat, turned his gaze to Pan Xian, and said.

"It seems that my guess is correct, the granary is really on fire!"

When Hai Rui said this, he paused for a moment, then continued.

"Master Pan, the granary is on fire now. As the governor of Henan, don't you need to go to the scene to check the situation?"

When Pan Xian heard this, his complexion suddenly became ugly. After giving Hai Rui a hard look, he just let out a cold snort, and immediately led the others and left the room without saying a word.

Seeing this situation, Hai Rui slowly poured a full glass of wine into his wine glass, then spilled it on the ground, looked at Pan Xian's leaving back, and said silently to himself.

"Hmph, this glass of wine is my respect to you. After drinking this glass, you should be on your way!"

After Hai Rui finished speaking, he walked out of the room with his hands behind his back.

……

On the way to the granary in a hurry, Yang Yinglin had a premonition that a catastrophe was imminent, so he asked Pan Xian how to deal with it.

"My lord, what should we do next!"

"That Hai Rui seems to have fully anticipated what we are going to do next!
"You know, the people who carry out this mission are all our cronies. If they can't handle it, then we are all finished!"

Hearing this, Pan Xian forcibly suppressed the impatience in his heart, and comforted him.

"Don't worry, I've already made a complete plan before this. I've already set up an eyeliner at the door of Hai Rui's inn. If there is any trouble, I will be informed immediately!"

"Not long ago, I received news that the guards at the post station did not show signs of being dispatched in large numbers. It must be too late when they got the news and rushed to the granary."

"At that time, all the evidence will be completely burned in a big fire. So what if Hai Rui is the imperial envoy? In the end, there is still no way to do anything to us."

"Besides, the money these past few years has not been spent in vain. Don't we still have high-ranking officials from the capital to protect us?"

After listening to Pan Xian's words of comfort, Yang Yinglin felt relieved a little and accelerated his pace.

"Drive!"

……

But when everyone rushed to the location of the granary, they suddenly discovered that the expected situation did not happen, and the whole granary seemed quite calm, as usual.

Seeing this situation, the string called reason in Pan Xian's mind completely collapsed.

Afterwards, he got off his horse and ran to the door of the granary regardless of the dissuasion of the people around him. He held on tightly to the collar of an officer in charge of guarding the granary, and asked with red eyes.

"Where is the fire, I ask you where the fire is!"

"Didn't you just say that the granary was on fire?"

Seeing this situation, the guard didn't know how to respond, so he just stood there in a daze. Then, he heard a voice behind Pan Xian.

"Master Governor, if you are looking for fire, you may have come to the wrong place."

"Don't forget, this is a granary, so you can't see it!"

As soon as the words fell, Fang Qian led a large number of soldiers and surrounded Yang Yinglin and others.

Seeing this situation, Pan Xian showed a look of despair, and kept murmuring.

"So that's it, that's it, I finally understand!"

Immediately, Pan Xian came back to his senses, looked away from the capital commander Fang Qian, and threatened in a deep voice.

"Fang Qian, do you think your butt is clean?"

"In recent years, you have collected a lot of money from this official. If there is something wrong with this official, can you get out of it?"

"Why don't we just pretend that this never happened?"

Hearing this, Fang Qian shook his head and said slowly.

"In recent years, every sum of money you have given to me has been recorded in detail by me, and I have kept those coins in safe custody!"

"As early as the time when the imperial envoy sent someone to visit, I told the whole story of the matter."

"In addition, the money, as well as the corresponding account books, etc., were also handed over to the imperial envoy by the official."

Hearing this, Pan Xian's whole heart was ashamed, and he no longer had the will to resist.

Seeing this situation, Fang Qian nodded and continued.

"As long as you are brought to justice, I will be able to make up for it, and even go a step further, it is not impossible!"

"Come on, take him down for me!"

After the words fell, Fang Qian waved his hand violently, and the soldiers under his command immediately stepped forward and took Pan Xian under control.

　Woke up early in the morning, my mind was dizzy, I was trying to type it out, I didn’t know what I was writing, sorry
