I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 438 Tragic Ending

After that, seeing that it was getting late, Hu Zongxian gave such orders after looking around.

"Okay, it's getting late, you guys should go back and rest early!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

After hearing the words, everyone immediately got up from their seats one after another, and after paying respectful salutes to Hu Zongxian, they left the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion.

Seeing that everyone left one after another, Hu Zongxian withdrew his gaze, sighed helplessly, and walked straight to the study.

Before resting, he had one more thing to do, and that was to write a letter to Tan Lun in Fujian, asking for his help.

Because right now, the situation in Zhejiang is really not optimistic. No one knows better than him, the governor of Zhejiang, the consequences of running out of food.

Once there is no food in Zhejiang, it means that all the previous efforts will be in vain. Not only that, but also those ordinary people who have changed rice to mulberry will suffer!
These people did not grow rice, so naturally they did not have enough food to support them, but if they failed to change rice to mulberry, they would end up in a very embarrassing situation.

On the one hand, they don't have enough food to fill their stomachs. On the other hand, the mulberry seedlings they planted with all their efforts will not see the expected results. By then, those people who planted mulberry seedlings will end up starving and dying , to the point of prostitution!

Just when Hu Zongxian was still thinking about the possible consequences in his mind, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Master Governor, it's getting late now, you should rest for a while!"

The guard at the door of the study, seeing Hu Zongxian's face full of exhaustion that could not be concealed, couldn't help but comfort him.

When Hu Zongxian heard this, he waved his hand indifferently and responded.

"It's okay, after I finish my work, I will naturally rest."

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he went straight back to the study, and immediately sat in front of the desk, pondering for a long time before writing.

"Brother Zili, brother Yu took the liberty to write a letter to bother me, please don't blame me. The current situation in Zhejiang is really not optimistic!"

"Before this, the grains in the hands of those mulberry farmers in Zhejiang who had been converting rice to mulberry were bought by unknown people at high prices, which led to the lack of enough grain in the hands of those mulberry farmers to support the mulberry seedlings to mature."

"Right now, the remaining grain in the local granary in Zhejiang can only last for about ten days. If no grain arrives in Zhejiang after ten days, those mulberry farmers will suffer!"

"At that time, at least half of the people in Zhejiang will end up starving and selling their sons and daughters. As their parents and officials, Brother Yu really can't bear to see such a scene."

"Therefore, Brother Yu implore you to transfer food from Fujian as soon as possible to save those people. Brother Yu will be very grateful for this!"

After the last word fell, Hu Zongxian heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately checked the contents of the letter from beginning to end.

Later, perhaps because he felt that the contents of the letter were inappropriate, Hu Zongxian took up his pen again and added this sentence.

"If the court finds out by then, all the responsibilities will be borne by me, Hu Zongxian!"

After that, Hu Zongxian put the brush in his hand back to its original position, and only after the ink on the letter paper was dry did he call his subordinates, and ordered in a deep voice.

"Give this letter to Tan Lun, governor of Fujian, immediately, and it must be done quickly!"

Seeing that Hu Zongxian attached great importance to this matter, the summoned subordinate responded in a deep voice while taking the envelope from Hu Zongxian's hand.

"Yes, my lord governor, I must deliver the letter as soon as possible!"

After the subordinate responded, he turned and left the study without stopping.

Seeing that the letter had been successfully sent, Hu Zongxian couldn't help letting go of his hanging heart.

After that, Hu Zongxian got up from the seat, looked at the night scene in the courtyard, and said silently to himself.

"I hope time will come!"

……

Forbidden City, Inspectorate.

Since Zhao Zhenji came back from the cabinet last time, he has taken sick leave on the grounds of feeling unwell.

The remaining officials of the Procuratorate, seeing that Zhao Zhenji had called for sick leave, reacted one after another. The whole matter might be extremely difficult. Even Mr. Zhao Zhenji, the inspector censor, had to find ways to get out of it by calling for sick leave.

As a result, the entire inspectorate was panicked, and some people with active minds began to inquire about the hidden secrets, wanting to prepare countermeasures in advance.

And Hai Rui, as a person recognized by the entire Inspectorate, with a deep background and an inseparable relationship with Zhao Zhenji, naturally became the focus of attention.

His every move affected the hearts of officials, big and small, in the Procuratorate.

In the early morning, Hai Rui came to the Inspector's Office to take up duty as usual. Because it was too early, there were not many people in the Inspector's Office, only a few subordinate staff were busy.

Seeing Hai Rui's arrival, those subordinate officials immediately stopped their work and saluted Hai Rui respectfully.

"I have seen Mr. Du Yushi!"

"Ah."

Hai Rui just nodded slightly at this, and did not stop at all. After that, Hai Rui came to the guard room and began to deal with the impeachment memorials that had piled up on the table.

Recently, Hai Rui had also heard about the gossip in the Inspector's Court. In his opinion, Zhao Zhenji must have encountered something that could not be resolved. In desperation, he chose to file a complaint.

"It seems that I have to find some time to visit Mr. Zhao personally, and learn the reason behind this by the way!"

Thinking of this, Hai Rui continued to deal with the impeachment memorial on the table.

As Hai Rui handled more and more impeachment memorials, he also discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, the impeachment memorials related to Jiangxi governor Cao Shunhe all disappeared!
Hai Rui handled most of the impeachment memorials, but he didn't even see the impeachment of Jiangxi Governor Cao Shunhe.

Hai Rui keenly sensed something was wrong, and immediately turned his gaze to the side, silently talking to himself about the completed impeachment memorials.

"Could it be that those who impeached Cao Shunhe in Shangshu gave up?"

"Or, is it because of other reasons?"

……

On the other side, Yan Mansion.

In the hall, as usual, there were quite a lot of dishes, and in front of Yan Song, there was a bowl of thick porridge, an egg, and a plate of pickles from Liuxinju.

While Yan Song was still savoring the breakfast in front of him, Yan Shifan entered the hall with eager steps. As soon as he entered the door, Yan Shifan rushed to report to Yan Song.

"Father, something serious happened!"

Seeing that Yan Shifan was so impatient, Yan Song put down the spoon in his hand, with an unwavering expression on his face, and said slowly.

"Look at your frizzy appearance, why are you in a hurry, what are you talking about slowly, what happened?"

After being reprimanded by Yan Song, Yan Shifan also restrained a lot. Seeing that he was calming down, he lowered his voice and reported to Yan Song.

"Father, my son got the news that not long ago, those officials who had previously impeached Jiangxi governor Cao Shunhe were ransacked by Jin Yiwei one by one!"

When Yan Shifan was talking about this, he didn't forget to add something.

"My child also heard that the fate of these people is very tragic!"
