I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 443 The Principled Yan Song

After the servant's words fell, everyone present couldn't help but turn their eyes to Xu Jie.

What they were curious about was what happened that made the housekeeper so anxious that he sent the letter to Prince Yu's Mansion!

Facing everyone's eyes, Xu Jie secretly swallowed his saliva, took the envelope from the servant's hand with his usual expression, and then gave instructions.

"Well, I have received the letter, you can go down!"

Hearing the words, the servant immediately glanced cautiously at Zhu Zaiku, who was sitting not far away. Seeing Zhu Zaixi nodding his head, the servant was relieved and responded respectfully.

"Yes, old Xu Ge!"

After that, the servant didn't stop at all, turned around and left the study without making any noise as much as possible, and closed the door of the study along the way.

After the servant left, everyone's eyes focused on the envelope in Xu Jie's hand.

For a moment, the whole study room fell silent, and no one spoke.

Seeing this situation, Xu Jie immediately sat back to his seat, unhurriedly opened the envelope in his hand, and began to browse the contents on it.

Xu Jie was already furious after reading less than two lines of content. Immediately afterwards, Xu Jie slammed the table and cursed angrily.

"This group of damned idiots are really not doing enough, but doing more than they are doing!"

Everyone was startled by Xu Jie's sudden action. After a moment of silence, Gao Gong stood up and asked Xu Jie.

"Old Xu Ge, what happened to make you so angry?"

At this moment, Xu Jie was not in the mood to answer Gao Gong's doubts, but just handed the letter in his hand to Gao Gong's hand, and said slowly.

"Look for yourself, these idiots are really stupid!"

Hearing this, Gao Gong immediately took the letter from Xu Jie's hand. Although Gao Gong had already made some mental preparations before this, he was still shocked when he read the contents of the letter from beginning to end. arrive.

"Old Xu Ge, this, this, this..."

Immediately, Gao Gong pointed at the letter in his hand with his finger, his face was full of shock, and he was speechless for a long time.

Seeing this situation, Xu Jie sighed helplessly, and immediately explained: "Those idiots wanted to use a certificate to escort the official salt to divert the attention of Jiangxi governor Cao Shunhe, who knew it was self-defeating and let the This Cao Shunhe found those buried bones!"

"And, among those bones, there is one missing, that is to say, someone survived from it!"

After Xu Jie's voice fell, the whole study fell into a strange silence!

Everyone present was very clear about what Xu Jie's words meant. It meant that those things that had been covered up before would most likely be found out!

Hearing this, Zhu Zaixi suddenly showed a little panic on his face, gritted his teeth, and suggested to Xu Jie: "Mr. Xu Ge, why don't we act first, before this Cao Shunhe finds out more things?" , take the lead in impeaching this Cao Shunhe?"

After listening to Zhu Zaiji's proposal, Xu Jie shook his head and said slowly.

"Your Highness, no, the previous officials who impeached Cao Shunhe in Shangshu have all been ransacked by Jin Yiwei on trumped-up charges!"

"Those Jinyiwei dispatches are mostly ordered by His Majesty. His Majesty's move is to draw a line, that is, the officials of the frontier cannot be impeached at will!"

"If someone is obsessed with obsession, those people before will be the end!"

After listening to Xu Jie's explanation, Zhu Zaiyi quickly gave up this idea: "Yes, the tragic situation of those people is still vivid in my memory, and now I am still rushing to impeach, aren't I looking for death?"

After this, the look in Zhu Zaixi's eyes gradually dimmed, and he couldn't think of any way to avoid this matter.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was somewhat gloomy, Zhang Juzheng immediately stood up and spoke comforting words.

"You don't need to worry too much. After all, so much time has passed, even if there is still a little evidence left, it can't threaten us!"

"Perhaps, the missing bone may have been washed away by the heavy rain."

However, Zhang Juzheng's consolation was destined to be ineffective, and the look in Xu Jie's eyes had become gloomy.

"No, absolutely not. It is only one step away from bringing down the Yan Party. There must be no mistakes in such trivial matters!"

"As long as this period of time passes, everything will be fine, don't blame me, you asked for this!"

In this way, Xu Jie made up his mind in his heart that he would silence all those who knew about it, so as to avoid involving himself in this matter.

……

On the other side, Yan Mansion.

While Xu Jie and others were discussing countermeasures in Yuwang Mansion, Yan Song was not idle, and at the moment he was telling Yan Shifan specific matters.

Yan Song turned his gaze to Yan Shifan who was aside, and asked.

"Do you remember what I told you earlier?"

When Yan Shifan heard the words, he assured Yan Song without hesitation.

"Father, my son will remember everything, and my son will definitely follow your instructions!"

Maybe because he felt a little uneasy, Yan Song picked up the tea cup at the side, took a sip, and continued to exhort.

"Remember, this matter must be done beautifully, absolutely nothing can go wrong!"

When Yan Song said this, it seemed as if he suddenly remembered, and then he added.

"By the way, when the time comes to negotiate with those merchants, try to send some honest and capable people, like Luo Longwen and Yan Maoqing, and don't let them get involved!"

After Yan Shifan patiently listened to Yan Song's instructions, he buried his head deeply and responded.

"Yes, father, the child knows."

Yan Song's reminder reminded Yan Shifan of many things.

Immediately after Yan Shifan sorted out the words in his mind, he carefully reported to Yan Song.

"By the way, father, talking about this Yan Maoqing, my child suddenly thought that some time ago, this Yan Maoqing received a large amount of money from others, but failed to accomplish anything."

"Seeing that the matter has not been completed, the person who sent money to Yan Maoqing earlier wanted Yan Maoqing to return part of the money, but this Yan Maoqing was unwilling!"

"This matter caused a lot of noise not long ago, but it was suppressed by the child. Look..."

After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he stopped talking and quietly waited for Yan Song's instructions.

After listening to Yan Shifan's narration, Yan Song was also out of breath, and immediately gave instructions.

"Has this Yan Maoqing fallen into Qian's eyes?"

"Since the matter has not been completed, it is reasonable for him to ask for a part of the money back. It is not for him to return all the money. If this entanglement continues, what should we do if the matter becomes serious?"

When Yan Shifan heard this, he immediately asked Yan Song cautiously: "Father, what do you mean..."

I saw Yan Song glanced at Yan Shifan, and said impatiently.

"Isn't my meaning obvious enough, let this Yan Maoqing return the extra money to others!"

When Yan Shifan heard the words, he quickly responded respectfully.

"Yes, father, my son will relay your words to Yan Maoqing!"

Seeing this situation, Yan Song sighed helplessly, took his eyes away from Yan Shifan, and said with emotion.

"Hey, with this kind of insect, how can you help His Majesty do good things?"

When Yan Song said this, he might have lost his patience, waved his hand, and said to Yan Shifan.

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

"Yes, Father!"

Yan Shifan heard that, after saluting Yan Song respectfully, he turned around and left the room. In the room, the orange light reflected Yan Song's figure, and coughing sounds kept ringing in the room.

……

After that, another three days passed.

In the morning, by the pier.

Several officials from the chief envoy were yawning non-stop, gathering together and chatting.

I saw a short and fat official, sighed helplessly, and complained to his companions beside him.

"Hey, how will we live in the days to come? The chief executive doesn't know what he's thinking, but he just wants us to wait at the pier, saying that food will be delivered soon!"

"But it's been almost half a month, not to mention food, I haven't even seen a boat!"

The official's words undoubtedly resonated with everyone present, and the rest of the people also joined in after seeing this.

A tall official stood up, looked around, and lowered his voice.

"That's right, our brothers are suffering here, those adults are very comfortable!"

"By the way, there are no outsiders here. I heard that the relief food that should have belonged to those mulberry farmers was given by the government..."

Before the official could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the rest of his companions.

"Old Wang, you don't want to die. You can't talk about this kind of thing. If the chief political envoy finds out, all of us will have to eat and walk around!"

"Yeah, yeah, don't mention it."

Seeing this, the companion on the side quickly changed the topic.

At this moment, a sharp-eyed official pointed to the distance and said excitedly, "Look, what's over there!"

Everyone looked in the direction that the man was pointing at, and saw several large ships suddenly appearing in the distance, and a little breeze blew past, causing waves in the water.

"Yes...it's a boat, a boat that transports food. Hurry up and report this matter to Mr. Chief Executive, hurry up!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Soon, the officials on these docks suddenly became flustered.

……

In the chief envoy's department, at this moment, Zheng Michang was sitting beside the desk, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was full of worry.

"Hey, there is only so much food left, what should we do next!"

After Zheng Michang finished speaking, he put aside the report compiled by his subordinates and rubbed his temples with his hands.

In that report, the remaining grain in the current granary was recorded in detail.

If this continues, Zheng Michang can roughly predict what will happen next.

For a long time, the relief food those mulberry farmers received from the government can only barely fill their stomachs, so that they and their families will not fall into a more miserable situation.

But the grievances will gradually accumulate. Now the grievances in the hearts of those mulberry farmers towards the government are about to reach their peak. At that time, it only takes a little spark to completely detonate the long-suppressed emotions in the hearts of these mulberry farmers!
"It seems that when the time comes, the government will still use heavy punches to suppress this group of Sannong!"

Zheng Michang thought so, even if he planned to call his subordinates, he asked them to make preparations in advance.

At this moment, there was a hasty knock on the door. Seeing this situation, Zheng Michang frowned indiscernibly, and immediately gave instructions.

"come in!"

As soon as the words were finished, a guard hurried into the room, panting heavily, and reported to Zheng Michang.

"My lord, the ship... the ship, the yard... There are a lot of big ships coming from the pier!"

"What, say it again!"

Hearing this, Zheng Michang got up from his seat abruptly, and immediately asked the guard.

Under Zheng Michang's repeated questioning, he just got detailed information from the guard: "It turned out that not long ago, many large ships loaded with food suddenly came to the pier!"

After Zheng Michang learned the exact news from the guard, he immediately cheered up, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

After that, Zheng Michang didn't care about other things, and hurriedly took a sedan chair to the direction of the Governor's Mansion. He wanted to share the good news with Hu Zongxian.

Zheng Michang soon arrived at the Governor's Mansion. After the sedan chair stopped, Zheng Michang hurriedly got off the sedan chair, and headed towards the Governor's Mansion without hesitation.

However, as soon as he reached the door, Zheng Michang was stopped by the guards at the door.

"Master Chief Executive, what is this?"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and let me in, I have something important to report, if things are delayed, can you bear it?"

Even though the guards were terrified of what Zheng Michang said, they still abided by their duties.

"If the Chief Minister wants to enter the Governor's Mansion, please wait for us to go in and inform the Governor!"

"Okay, okay, you go in and report quickly, just say that I have something extremely important, and you have to inform the governor in person!"

Seeing the resolute attitude of those guards, Zheng Michang waved his hands helplessly, and then spoke.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Chief Executive!"

The few guards saw that Zheng Michang's attitude was a little loose, and the expressions on their faces suddenly seemed to be amnesty, and they quickly responded.

After that, a guard entered the governor's mansion with hurried steps.

At this moment, Hu Zongxian was in the study, dealing with the corresponding official documents. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Hearing this, Hu Zongxian put down the brush in his hand, and then ordered.

"Come in!"

After finishing the words, I saw the previous guard pushed the door and walked in, reporting respectfully.

"Your Excellency, the Chief Executive is waiting outside right now. He said he has something extremely important to report to you in person!"

Hu Zongxian nodded when he heard the words, and immediately gave instructions.

"Well, let him in!"
