"How long will it take to reach Zhejiang?"

Yan Maoqing came out of the cabin, looked at the scenery on both sides, and asked the sailors on board.

"Report to your lord, you will be able to reach Zhejiang tomorrow."

Seeing Yan Maoqing's question, the sailor quickly stopped what he was doing, and hurriedly responded.

"Well, go get busy."

After Yan Maoqing got the answer she wanted, she let the sailors leave.

"My lord, are you worried about something?"

At this moment, Yan Maoqing's bodyguard saw this and stepped forward to inquire.

"Well, I don't know why recently, the closer I get to Zhejiang, the more I feel palpitations! It seems that something big will happen in the dark." Yan Maoqing sighed helplessly after finishing speaking.

"Your Excellency, don't worry, Zhejiang has always been an important place of taxation for the imperial court, not to mention the governor of Zhejiang Province, Hu Zongxian, is still a student of Yan Ge! In terms of emotion and reason, there will be no problems." Seeing that Yan Maoqing's will was a little depressed, the bodyguard said, Open your mouth to comfort.

"By the way, how many years have you been with me?" Yan Maoqing asked, looking up and down at her personal bodyguard.

"Report, sir, it has been five years!"

"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, it has been five years. Let's go in and have a drink with me."

"Yes, my lord."

……

Zhejiang, Zhejiang Governor's Mansion.

After Hai Rui came out of the prison, he hurried to the governor's mansion to meet Zheng Michang.

"What happened? In such a hurry?" Zheng Bichang said, picked up the teacup beside him, and drank the tea in the cup.

"Report to the chief minister, I want to hear this case openly!" Hearing Zheng Michang's question, Hai Rui responded neither humble nor overbearing.

"What? You want to hear the case publicly!" Zheng Michang was shocked by what Hai Rui said, and the teacup in his hand almost fell to the ground.

After Zheng Michang held the teacup firmly again, he then confirmed to Hai Rui: "You really want to do this? In this way, it will be an endless situation!"

"Report to the chief minister, I really want to do this, I want to bring the criminal to justice, and give justice to the deceased!" Hai Rui looked straight into Zheng Michang's eyes and said word by word. .

"Well, I have no objection to you doing this, but you can't do it now, you have to wait for a while." Zheng Michang shook his head, and didn't raise too many objections to Hai Rui's idea.

"Why?" Hai Rui asked, puzzled by Zheng Michang's reaction.

"Because it's not the right time yet. I'm still waiting for the news from above. When the exact news comes out, we can get more support. By then, all problems will be no problem! Do you understand?" Zheng Bichang looked at Out of Hai Rui's doubts, he explained patiently.

"How long will it take?"

"According to the previous speed, if it is the fastest, we will be able to get a definite answer tomorrow morning."

At this moment, a guard outside the hall came to report.

"Report, sir, the housekeeper of the Wen family is asking to see you."

"Let him in." Zheng Michang and Hai Rui looked at each other, and they both sensed an inexplicable meaning in each other's eyes.

After a while, several servants followed the steps of Wen's housekeeper and entered the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion together, and those servants were still carrying two large wooden boxes.

As soon as he entered the hall, the housekeeper knelt down and saluted first, his words were full of respect: "I have met the chief political envoy and the county magistrate!"

"Well, get up, what's the matter with coming to see me at such a late hour?" Zheng Michang raised his eyebrows and asked knowingly.

"My lord, this..." The butler looked at Hai Rui, who was at the side, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"It's okay, he's one of his own, so just say what you have to say." Zheng Bichang waved his hand, motioning the housekeeper to continue.

After hesitating for a moment, the butler finally chose to speak: "Master Chief Executive, it is like this. You may have had some misunderstandings with our Wen family recently!"

"In order to eliminate these misunderstandings, the master specially asked me to send you 5 taels of silver. At the same time, as an apology, I will give you an extra [-]% share in the future."

After the butler finished speaking, he greeted the servants behind him and brought the two large wooden boxes to Zheng Michang.

"Hahaha, good! Good! Use these things to test me?"

After Zheng Michang finished speaking, he laughed loudly, then got up from his seat, opened two large wooden boxes, and saw that the wooden boxes were full of silver ingots, and their fineness was even worse than the 5000 taels sent over before. and.

"The last time was 5000 taels, this time it was 5 taels, so will it be 50 taels next time?" Zheng Michang said, picking up a silver ingot from the wooden box and playing with it carefully.

"Lord, look..."

Seeing that Zheng Michang had accepted the money, the butler breathed a sigh of relief, and then paused for a moment, expressing his intentions.

"Well, that's right, since your Wen family sent me such a generous gift, then I should also have a gift in return!"

After Zheng Michang finished speaking, he put the silver ingot in his hand back into the wooden box, then clapped his hands, and a guard brought up a tray covered with a red cloth.

"This... this is!" The steward recognized at a glance that it was sent to the governor's mansion by him earlier, and at the same time, an ominous premonition flashed in his heart.

Zheng Michang laughed lightly, and said, "You sent the 5000 taels of silver to me. I will return it to the original owner now. I hope you will go back and send a message to your master!"

As Zheng Michang spoke, his tone became serious.

"My lord wants to say anything, just tell me." At this time, the butler had realized the seriousness of the matter, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Go back and tell Wen Pingyi that this matter is endless!" Zheng Michang looked at the butler kneeling on the ground and said word by word.

"Yes, thank you sir, I will definitely bring the words to you!" After the housekeeper finished speaking, he quickly kowtowed on the ground to apologize.

"Well, you can go, and take these things with you by the way."

After Zheng Michang finished speaking, he sat back in his seat, then pointed to the two large wooden boxes on the ground, and ordered.

"Yes, what are you still doing there? Hurry up!"

After the butler got up from the ground, he called the servants under him to start moving.

After packing up the silver, the butler left the governor's mansion with his servants in a disheartened manner.

After the housekeeper left, Zheng Michang turned his gaze to Hai Rui, and said softly, "Hai Rui, guess if it will be 50 taels next time?"

After hearing Zheng Michang's question, Hai Rui was also taken aback, and then replied: "No, Mr. Chief Political Officer, I guess that there will be no next time!"

……

In the Wen family, Wen Pingyi was pacing anxiously in the room, his face full of impatience.

"What a waste, it's been such a long time, and the matter hasn't been settled yet!"

Just as Wen Pingyi was complaining, the butler's voice came from outside the house: "Master, master, it's not good!"

When Wen Pingyi heard this, his heart skipped a beat, thinking: "What happened again?"

At this moment, the steward came to Wen Pingyi and said out of breath, "Master...Master, it's not good, all the money we sent was returned by Mr. Chief Political Envoy."

"My lord chief envoy also asked me to bring you... a sentence."

"Bring what?"

"He... he said, this matter is endless!"

"what!"
