I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 129
There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and soon the news spread that Hai Rui, the magistrate of Chun'an, personally led the guards of the governor's mansion to go to the Wen family!As soon as the news came out, the people in the entire city of Hangzhou were elated, while those officials who had received money from the Wen family were gloomy.

In the private room of the most luxurious restaurant in Hangzhou City, several officials were drinking together. The table was filled with all kinds of exquisite dishes.

"Brothers, tell me, what is the origin of Hai Rui, the magistrate of Chun'an County? Why is he so courageous? How dare he go to Wen's house to arrest someone!" An official put down his chopsticks and asked his colleagues beside him.

"Hmph, I see, this Hai Rui is definitely not simple, maybe he is a student of a high-ranking official in the capital, and he came here to practice! Otherwise, how could he be so supportive of the chief minister, right?"

"That's right, I also find it strange. The chief minister is a dignified second-rank official, so there's no need to take care of him like a small county magistrate! Not only that, he also entrusted the guards of the governor's mansion to this Hai Rui to mobilize. .”

"You said, should we go to pay our respects to the pier, so that we can take care of us when we encounter problems in the future?"

"Come on, how can someone look down on us with that background?"

"Forget it, don't talk about it, come, drink and drink."

"Come on, cheers!"

……

On the other hand, since Hai Rui's story spread, it dealt a huge blow to the Wen family's prestige accumulated over the years.

Those low-browed and pleasing opponents in the past also gathered together, chatting gossip: "He Wen family is so powerful, why can't he even keep his own son? He even asked a little county magistrate to come and take it, hahaha!"

There were many other remarks similar to this, and after the housekeeper reported all of them to Wen Pingyi, Wen Pingyi became furious and dropped his favorite vase.

"Master, what should we do next?" Seeing this, the housekeeper at the side asked cautiously.

"Don't you have a brain yourself? You have to ask me about everything? What do I, the Wen family, raise you for? A bunch of waste! And that group of dog officials! Usually when you get money, you are more active than one. When you really encounter something, None of them can be counted on!"

Perhaps it was because the resentment in his heart hadn't been fully vented, and then Wen Pingyi pointed the finger at his wife again. His eyes were bloodshot, his breathing was short, and he looked like a living beast.

"It's all about you, who spoiled that evil animal so much on weekdays, and made him become like this! Hanging around with those cronies all day long, you still caused me such a big trouble."

"You!" Wen Pingyi's wife was scolded angrily, her eyes turned red immediately, and she returned to her room crying.

After scolding his wife severely, Wen Pingyi sat back on the chair weakly, with a dejected look on his face.

"Master, if we don't act anymore, the young master will be in trouble!" Seeing that Wen Pingyi had finished venting his anger, the steward hurried forward and asked about the next countermeasure.

"You go to the counter and pay 5 taels of silver, and send it to the chief political envoy! In addition, tell him that my Wen family is willing to give him an extra [-]% share in the future."

"Yes, sir! Let's go now."

After the butler finished speaking, he left quickly.

……

Zhejiang, Zhejiang Governor's Mansion.

"Master Zheng, why are you bothering? Zhang Shou is obviously just a poor scholar who sells calligraphy and paintings for a living. Why do you have to offend the Wen family for him? This is not like your style!"

"Yes, Mr. Zheng, why don't we just expose this matter lightly, and the benefits will be indispensable to you."

"Isn't it just killing a commoner? What's the big deal? Wouldn't it be enough to pay more money then? Mr. Zheng, don't let these troublemakers take advantage of you!"

"Okay, you don't need to say any more, I have made up my mind, I must handle this case! My lords, please go back."

Zheng Michang sat at the head, picked up his teacup, and said coldly.

Seeing that Zheng Michang was so reticent, the faces of those who came to act as lobbyists after taking money from Wen's family changed their faces.

Some of the grumpy ones even threatened: "Hmph, Zheng, don't think we don't know what you're up to! Don't you just want to use this matter to make some articles, so that you can get more profit from it?" Is it good? Do you really think you are the master of Qingtian?"

After Zheng Michang listened, he put down the teacup in his hand, and responded, "Hehe, did I ever say that I am the Lord Qingtian?"

"There are some people who took money from others to act as lobbyists. Not only did they fail to achieve their goals, but they also offended them! It's really... tsk tsk."

When Zheng Michang said this, he paused deliberately, his face was full of sarcasm.

"Hmph, let's wait and see!"

"I'm busy with business, so I won't see you off."

Zheng Michang then picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said lightly.

……

In the prison, the youngest son of the Wen family, Wen Rong, lived a comfortable life because he had already taken care of it. He lived in a single cell, and his three meals a day were brought in by someone from outside. It's no different on the outside.

"Hey, my young master Wen, what are you doing!"

Seeing that Wen Rong was working on the big lock hanging on the cell door, the jailer in charge of guarding him saw this and hurried forward to stop him.

"It's too boring here. Master Ben wants to go out for a walk. Why, do you have any opinions?"

Wen Rong was not changed into the prisoner's clothes. He was still wearing the same clothes when he was first arrested, which looked out of place with the whole prison.

Hearing this, the jailer in charge of guarding him had a gloomy look in his eyes, but then he put on a smiling face and said flatteringly: "Where is it, Young Master Wen can leave whenever he wants! It's just that the key is not with me right now." body, do you need me to get it for you?"

"Of course, bring the key to me, and I will reward you a lot!" Wen Rong said excitedly when he heard the jailer's words.

"Please wait a moment, Young Master Wen, and I will go get the key for Young Master Wen." After the jailer finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Okay, come back quickly! This young master is waiting for you." Wen Rong did not forget to ask behind him.

Unexpectedly, after the jailer left the cell, he disappeared for a long time.

Wen Rong was hopeful at first, thinking that the jailer was delayed by something on the road, but he waited until dark, but he still didn't see the jailer.

There was only a 'squeak', and there was a movement from outside the cell.

Hai Rui walked into the cell with his hands behind his back, followed by two guards, one of whom was the one who had promised Wen Rong to get him the key.

"Does this look like being in prison?" Seeing this, Hai Rui turned his gaze to the jailer aside and asked calmly.

"Sir, I have no choice but to wait, it's all orders from above..."

Sensing Hai Rui's scrutinizing gaze, the two guards next to him couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

Just kidding, this is a ruthless person who dared to take the guards of the governor's mansion to Wen's house to arrest someone!Not only that, but he also killed a servant who was obstructing the case at the gate of Wen's house, and now he has the support of the chief political envoy.

But Hai Rui ignored the jailer's excuse, and just ordered: "Since you are in prison, you have to look like you are in prison. You go and strip him of his clothes, and then change into prisoner's clothes!"

"My lord, this..." Seeing this, the two jailers showed hesitation.

"Why, do you want to disobey my order?" Hai Rui asked the two guards with a glance.

"Master Wen, you've offended me!" After weighing the pros and cons, the two jailers gritted their teeth and approached Wen Rong step by step.

"What do you want to do? When this young master goes out, I will never let you go, ah!"

From inside the cell, Wen Rong's wailing came.

"My lord, the clothes are ready!" After the two jailers took off Wen Rong's clothes and changed into prison uniforms, they came to Hai Rui's side and said respectfully.

"Well, the two of you have done a good job, now give me a change of cell!" Hai Rui nodded and continued.

"My lord, I dare not wait..."

Seeing that Hai Rui's demands became more and more excessive, the two guards did not dare to follow his orders any longer.

"Hmph, what are you afraid of? If something goes wrong, I will take care of it for you! Don't you think you didn't offend him before? I understand this kind of spoiled young master best. Now that you have offended him, don't Thinking about getting along well."

"Do you want to take revenge on you and your family after he is released from prison?"

Hai Rui's voice was like a heavy hammer, smashing all the luck in the hearts of the two jailers.

"My lord, where should I change him?"

"Don't be too deliberate, just an ordinary cell will do."

"Yes, my lord!"

After the two jailers made up their minds, they approached Wen Rong in the prison step by step.

"What are you doing? My young master doesn't want to go out, ah!"
