I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 430 Full of Haze
In a blink of an eye, three days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was March.

In order to be safe, Zheng Michang brought people to wait near the pier early, but he waited and waited from morning to evening, but he did not wait for the grain transport ship from Jiangxi to Zhejiang that everyone was looking forward to.

At this moment, the subordinates on the side summoned up their courage and asked Zheng Michang.

"My lord, have you misremembered the time of transporting the grain, or the ship responsible for transporting the grain, encountered something on the way and was delayed?"

When Zheng Michang heard this, he immediately became angry, and immediately reprimanded him.

"What an idiot, can I remember the wrong time for such an important matter?"

"It stands to reason that the water route is much faster than the land route. Three days is enough to send the first batch of grain from Jiangxi!"

As Zheng Michang said, he turned his gaze to the water surface that shimmered in the setting sun in the distance, clenched his fists tightly, and commanded in a deep voice.

"Something must have happened, you continue to wait here, and I will report this to the governor!"

"Yes, my lord!"

After that, Zheng Michang didn't stop at all, and immediately took a sedan chair and rushed towards the direction of the Governor's Mansion.

……

"This Zheng Bichang, it's been so long, why is there no news at all?"

In the study of the Governor's Mansion, Hu Zongxian put aside the completed official documents, and immediately complained.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and after receiving Hu Zongxian's consent, a guard pushed the door open and entered.

"Your Excellency, the Chief Executive is asking to see you outside!"

After listening to the guard's report, Hu Zongxian couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said to himself: "There is finally news about this Zheng Michang!"

Immediately, Hu Zongxian came back to his senses and ordered: "Let him in!"

After Hu Zongxian's words fell, the guard immediately responded in a deep voice: "Yes, Governor!"

Not long after, under the leadership of the guards, Zheng Michang came to the study of the Governor's Mansion and met Hu Zongxian.

As soon as Hu Zongxian saw Zheng Michang, he couldn't hold back his inner urgency, and asked, "How much grain has been brought from Jiangxi?"

Hearing this, Zheng Michang's expression became extremely ugly. After hesitating for a long time, he chose to tell the truth: "My lord governor, to tell you the truth, I have been waiting at the pier for almost a day with people. I can't even see the shadow of the ship!"

After Hu Zongxian listened to Zheng Michang's report, his face was full of disbelief, and he immediately asked questions.

"Are you sure you didn't even see a ship?"

Zheng Bichang had no choice but to repeat this cruel fact: "Yes, my lord governor, I didn't even see the shadow of the boat, let alone any food!"

After Hu Zongxian learned of this cruel reality, he was also in a daze for a moment, and then he couldn't help but feel lucky, and said to himself silently: "Fortunately, all the remaining grain in the warehouse was not distributed to Sang Nong."

After that, Hu Zongxian quickly came back to his senses, and then asked Zheng Michang.

"How long can the remaining grain in the warehouse last at most?"

After hearing this, Zheng Michang thought for a long time before responding: "My lord, the remaining grain in the granary can barely last for twelve days."

After Zheng Michang finished speaking, without waiting for Hu Zongxian to respond, he said cautiously, "Governor, do you think it is possible that Qingliu threatened Jiangxi Governor Cao Shunhe to prevent him from going to Zhejiang..."

Before Zheng Michang could finish his words, Hu Zongxian interrupted decisively: "No, no, I know Cao Shunhe's character, so it must be delayed by something on the way!"

Seeing Hu Zongxian's resolute attitude, Zheng Michang followed suit and said: "Your Excellency, you are right, the official is rude!"

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Michang asked Hu Zongxian: "Then Governor, what should we do next, there is not much food left in the warehouse."

When Hu Zongxian heard the words, his face suddenly became sad, he sighed, and said: "In this way, let's distribute the relief food according to the minimum share!"

After Zheng Michang listened, he immediately replied in a deep voice: "Yes, Your Excellency Governor!"

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps from outside the door.

Not long after, a guard entered the study, turned his gaze to Hu Zongxian, and reported respectfully.

"Your Excellency, a person who claims to be Jiangxi governor Cao Shunhe has come outside, look..."

In the study, when Hu Zongxian and Zheng Michang heard the news from the guards, they were so shocked that their brains shut down for a while.

Afterwards, Hu Zongxian came to his senses first, and ordered in a deep voice.

"Bring people in!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

After Hu Zongxian's words fell, the guards did not hesitate at all, and quickly took orders to leave.

After this, Zheng Michang lowered his head, his face was full of shame, and he said immediately: "Your Excellency, it seems that the lower officials treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"

Hearing this, Hu Zongxian withdrew his gaze from Zheng Michang, and waved his hands quite casually, expressing that he didn't care about this matter: "It doesn't matter."

Not long after, I saw someone entering the study room of the Governor's Mansion under the leadership of the guards. As soon as he entered the study room, he carefully took out the letter from his arms and said respectfully: "Mr. Governor, this is my lord. I send it to you Letter from here!"

Hearing this, Hu Zongxian nodded slightly to the visitor, then took the envelope from his hand, and then said: "Okay, the letter has been received by the official, you can go down and rest first!"

Seeing this, the visitor showed gratitude on his face, and respectfully said: "Thank you, Governor!"

After that, the person who came to the governor's mansion to deliver the letter left the study under the guidance of the guards.

After the visitor left, Hu Zongxian looked at the letter in his hand, opened it without much hesitation, and began to browse the contents above.

The more he looked down, the tighter Hu Zongxian frowned. Soon after, Hu Zongxian put the letter aside and said helplessly.

"Things did not go as expected, something went wrong in Jiangxi!"

Zheng Michang, who was at the side, couldn't hold back his inner curiosity when he heard this, and immediately boldly asked Hu Zongxian, "My lord governor, can you tell me what happened in Jiangxi?"

"Well, see for yourself!"

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he handed the envelope to Zheng Michang, and immediately said.

After Zheng Michang took the envelope, like Hu Zongxian before, he began to browse the contents on it. After reading the contents recorded above, Zheng Michang had an unconcealable shock on his face, and subconsciously said.

"More than a dozen large ships responsible for transporting food, docked at the pier for a while, just caught fire inexplicably!"

"Not only that, but we can't find out who the murderer is!"

"This group of clean people is really hateful. When I get the chance, I will definitely smash you into pieces!"

When Zheng Michang said this, he could no longer restrain his inner anger.

Perhaps because of being too angry, Zheng Michang's breathing began to become rapid, and his eyes became red, as if they were about to spew fire from them.
