I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 101 Wang Zhi's Whereabouts

It has been two days since Hu Zongxian's class teacher returned to the court, and Hu Zongxian had a rare leisure time.

At this moment, he was lying on a deck chair, basking in the sun leisurely, with a pot of tea beside him.

Since Hu Zongxian went to the capital to report on his work last time, after seeing the reclining chair of his teacher Yan Song's house, he secretly made up his mind that when he returned to Zhejiang, he had to find a craftsman to make a pair for himself.

"Sure enough, the teacher will still enjoy it!" Hu Zongxian sighed, then picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of green tea.

"Your Excellency, there are people outside asking to see you." At this moment, the officials of the Governor's Mansion stepped forward and reported.

"Oh, who is it?" Hu Zongxian frowned and asked.

"Report to the governor, he said that he is from Jinyiwei, and he is here to report the case to you!"

"Oh, let him come in." Hu Zongxian waved his hand and ordered.

Seeing that it was Jin Yiwei who came, Hu Zongxian's displeasure at being disturbed disappeared in an instant, and Jin Yiwei came in person, which meant that the Japanese leader Zhang Lian had spoken.

Soon, a middle-aged man in a flying fish suit walked in with some scars on his face.

"This subordinate has seen the governor!"

As soon as the visitor came in, he immediately bowed to Hu Zongxian.

"Well, did Zhang Lian explain it?" Hu Zongxian told the person to stand up, then picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

"My lord governor, Zhang Lian, the head of the Japanese government, has already explained. Here is the detailed statement. My boss told me to hand it over to you personally!" the visitor said, taking the statement out of his pocket and handing it to Hu Zongxian.

"Well, go down!" Hu Zongxian said calmly after receiving the statement from Jin Yiwei.

"Yes!" Seeing that the confession had been delivered, the visitor walked away at a very fast pace.

After the Jinyiwei left, Hu Zongxian opened Zhang Lian's statement and read the contents carefully.

Zhang Lian's confession mainly has two parts, one part is the inside story of the pirate riot in Fujian, and the other part is about the whereabouts of the pirate leader Wang Zhi.

Hu Zongxian already knew the inside story of the pirate riots in Fujian, and he dispatched troops to kill most of the landlords and smuggling families who were behind the scenes!Hu Zongxian skipped this part as a matter of course, and turned to focus on the whereabouts of the Japanese pirate leader Wang Zhi.

Zhang Lian explained in his statement that Wang Zhi, the leader of the Japanese pirates, will have a deal in the near future, and the place is near Quanzhou Port.

"Hmph, Wang Zhi, this officer will definitely tear you to pieces this time!" Hu Zongxian could not help but tighten the confession in his hand, and said in a deep voice.

"Call me Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, and Tan Lun to the hall for discussion! I have important matters to discuss." Hu Zongxian called his subordinates and ordered.

"Yes!" After receiving Hu Zongxian's order, the subordinate immediately went down to report.

……

In the hall, after receiving the news from their subordinates, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, and Tan Lun rushed to the governor's mansion ahead of time, waiting for Hu Zongxian's order.

The three of them didn't wait long before they saw Hu Zongxian walking into the hall with his hands behind his back.

"I have seen the governor!" Seeing this, the three hurriedly bowed to Hu Zongxian.

"Get up, I asked you to come here this time because I got an extremely important piece of information! It's about the whereabouts of the pirate leader Wang Zhi." Hu Zongxian sat down at the top, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice.

"What? Wang Zhi!" Hearing the name Hu Zongxian mentioned, Qi Jiguang stood up involuntarily, his face full of surprise.

"That's right, Wang Zhi."

Hu Zongxian nodded to Qi Jiguang and continued to add.

"Zhang Lian has already confessed all in Jinyiwei's cell! In addition, he also explained that Wang Zhi, the leader of the Japanese pirates, will have a deal in Quanzhou Port in the near future. As long as we catch the person who made the deal, we can follow the vine to find the lair of the Japanese pirates." .”

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he handed over Zhang Lian's confession to the three of them to watch.

After several people read all the contents of the confession, Tan Lun asked: "Master Governor, should we ask the Ministry of War to send sailors to help? Otherwise, even if we find the lair of Japanese pirates, without the help of sailors, It doesn't help either!"

"I have already edited a letter and asked the Ministry of War to send sailors to help. They didn't get much credit last time, so it's time to give them a chance this time." Seeing that Tan Lun was a little puzzled, Hu Zongxian nodded, thinking It explained.

"We just need to send people to keep an eye on Quanzhou Port all the time. If there is any movement, we will act immediately!" Yu Dayou put down the statement in his hand and said in a deep voice.

"Well, it's just that there should not be too many people watching, so as not to overwhelm the enemy! How about this, you go down and pick a few smarter ones."

"Yes!"

After hearing Hu Zongxian's order, all three of them took the order. Just as they wanted to leave the Governor's Mansion, a subordinate rushed in to report.

"Report, my lords, there are people coming from the palace!"

"Oh, it must be that the imperial court's reward has arrived, everyone go with me!"

Hearing that his subordinates came to report, Hu Zongxian stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Soon, everyone followed Hu Zongxian's footsteps and walked out of the hall.

……

I saw an old eunuch with a white face and no beard in red clothes holding a clear yellow imperial decree in his hand. Seeing Hu Zongxian and the others coming out, he nodded with a smile.

"Hu Zongxian, Tan Lun, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, accept the order!"

Under Hu Zongxian's leadership, all the officials in the Governor's Mansion knelt on the ground, their faces full of respect.

Immediately afterwards, a high-pitched voice sounded: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: "This time Hu Zongxian led the troops to destroy the pirates in Fujian. I am very pleased. The court should reward those who have made great achievements! "

"Hu Zongxian, governor of Zhejiang Province and governor of Zhejiang Province, was named General Dingguo! His subordinate Dengzhou Wei Commander Qian Shi and Jizhou General Soldier Qi Jiguang were named General Dingyuan! General Pingman Yu Dayou was named General Guangwei! Tan Lun, prefect of Taizhou Prefecture, I will serve as the governor of Fujian and leave immediately without delay!"

"In addition, the soldiers who participated in the conquest of the Japanese pirates will be paid double the salary, and the soldiers who unfortunately died will also receive double the pension, and the relatives left behind will be supported by the local government. This is it!"

After the old eunuch finished reading out the decree, he looked at Hu Zongxian with a smile and said, "Governor Hu, accept the decree."

"My minister Hu Zongxian thanked His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Hu Zongxian bowed again, just now he received the imperial decree from the envoy, and then Hu Zongxian gave his subordinate a wink, and immediately a subordinate stepped forward and stuffed a stack of thick silver bills into the hands of the old eunuch.

Hu Zongxian respectfully said: "Elder-in-law please accept a little thought."

The old eunuch felt the thickness of the stack of banknotes a little bit, couldn't help smiling, and praised: "Governor Hu is very polite, Your Majesty values ​​you very much!"

"I hope my father-in-law will speak more kind words in front of His Majesty." Hu Zongxian continued with the same respectful expression on his face.

"It's easy to talk about." The old eunuch agreed with a smile.

"Since the decree has been delivered, it's inconvenient for me to stay longer. It's time to report back to the palace!" Soon, the old eunuch put on a dignified look and said.

"Eunuch, go slowly!" Hu Zongxian led the others to see the old eunuch off.

"Governor of Fujian...Governor of Fujian..." Even though the father-in-law in the palace had been away for a long time, Tan Lun was still in a daze, repeating this sentence over and over again, with an excited expression on his face.

It has always been Tan Lun's dream to be in charge of one side and serve as a big official in the frontier!Right now, this dream has come true so easily, which makes Tan Lun feel rather unreal.

"Let's go, let's go in." Seeing Tan Lun's attitude, Hu Zongxian couldn't help saying.

"Oh, good, good!" Tan Lun was pulled back to reality by Hu Zongxian's words, and followed him into the Governor's Mansion.
