I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 214
"Have you heard? The imperial court has paid us all the salaries owed to us!"

"Really, when did it happen, why don't I know?"

"It's absolutely true. Just now, when the Lord Governor sent someone to announce the news, I was there and heard it clearly!"

"This newly-appointed Lord Governor really has a way to help us get back all the salaries we owe!"

"Yes, even if the governor wants me to die now, I will never frown!"

"Come on, it's up to you?"

……

Since Tan Lun sent someone to notify the nearby guards that the silver had arrived, the soldiers rushed to discuss it first.

For these soldiers of the guard, Tan Lun, the newly appointed governor of Fujian, not only did what he said, he really recovered their salary for them, and also gave them an extra chance to make contributions!

It is no exaggeration to say that if someone dared to say a bad word about Tan Lun at this moment, the soldiers of the guard would definitely rush forward and eat him alive.

And Wang Yong, who was previously appointed by Tan Lun as the temporary chief of the guard, was also smiling, with an unconcealable excitement on his face.

Just now, he heard two pieces of good news from Tan Lun's subordinates.

One is that the arrears of the soldiers have been settled, and the other is that after all the weapons, food and grass are in place, the work of suppressing bandits will be officially carried out.

"Pass my orders, beat the drums, and gather the soldiers!"

"Yes, my lord!"

I saw Wang Yong come out of the tent and give orders to the soldiers beside him.

Soon, before the three-way drum sounded, all the soldiers in the guard had assembled!
The soldiers in the audience lined up neatly, with awe-inspiring expressions, and everyone had some rough guesses about why Wang Yong wanted to beat drums and gather troops.

Wang Yong looked at the neatly arranged soldiers in the audience, who had a faint sense of murder, and said loudly.

"I gathered everyone together today because I want to inform you of two things!"

After Wang Yong finished speaking, he deliberately paused for a moment, and continued after he had a panoramic view of the expressions on the faces of the soldiers in the audience.

"The first thing, I think everyone already knows it. The governor has fulfilled his promise, and the imperial court has paid all our salaries!"

"The specific amount is 83 taels of silver!"

As soon as Wang Yong's words fell, there was an overwhelming cheer from the audience, which made Wang Yong's eardrums hurt.

"Everyone is quiet, I have one more thing to announce next!"

Wang Yong turned his gaze to the soldiers in the audience and said in a deep voice.

As soon as Wang Yong's words fell, the cheering soldiers immediately shut up!Immediately, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to Wang Yong's next words, for fear of missing a word.

"The second thing I will announce is that after all the follow-up weapons, food, grass, etc. are in place, we will officially start to wipe out the bandits entrenched in Fujian!"

"It is said that the imperial court allocated an additional 120 million taels of silver this time to suppress bandits!"

"Since the governor has fulfilled his promise, now is the time for us to repay him!"

"What do you guys think?"

After Wang Yong finished speaking, he looked away from the soldiers in the audience and asked.

"Kill kill kill!"

Responding to him was a fanatical soldier waving his weapon vigorously.

……

Zhejiang, Chun'an County Government.

"This case, the magistrate decided to judge it like this. Do you two have any objections?"

After patiently listening to the narrations of the two parties, Hai Rui made a final decision.

"No."

"I do not have either."

After the two parties looked at each other, they felt that Hai Rui's punishment was very fair and reasonable, so they didn't raise any objections.

"In that case, let's close this case! You two can leave too."

After Hai Rui finished speaking, he picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.

"Yes, magistrate, I will leave!"

After the two finished speaking, their faces were full of respect. After bowing their hands to Hai Rui, they left the Chun'an county government office one after the other.

"Master Zhixian, go down and rest for a while!"

"Since this morning, you haven't had a moment's rest. You are either solving the case or on the way to it."

Seeing that Hai Rui's face was full of exhaustion, the director at the side saw this and quickly comforted him.

"Well, it's okay, let's rest after I finish handling these official duties."

"Master magistrate, let the subordinates handle this part of the business for you! You go down and rest for a while, you are now the parent officer of my Chun'an county, you should pay attention to your health."

Seeing that Hai Rui still refused to go down to rest, the master at the side continued to comfort him with a worried look on his face.

"Well, that's fine, I'll leave it to you, I'll go down and rest for a while."

Hai Rui had already reached this point when he saw the director, so he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he had to speak.

"Master Zhixian, don't worry, nothing will go wrong!"

The director at the side patted Hai Rui's chest and assured him.

Soon, Hai Rui came to the county government office.

At this time, Hai Rui's wife, Wang Shi, was drying the washed clothes to dry.

After seeing the tired look on Hai Rui's face, she was full of worry, and quickly came up to her, asking, "Are you alright?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired."

Facing his wife's worry, Hai Rui just shook his head and responded.

"Really, I don't know why you work so hard all day long? I see that those who are officials have a lot of leisure all day long!"

"Oh, forget it, go back and rest for a while!"

Hai Rui's wife Wang Shi, according to the usual practice, sent Hai Rui back to rest after chattering a few words.

After Hai Rui listened to his wife's words, he still stayed where he was, looking hesitant to speak.

"Don't worry, I'll let you know what happens when the time comes."

Seeing her husband's appearance, Hai Rui's wife, Wang Shi, sighed and said helplessly.

"Well, that's fine."

After getting his wife's assurance, Hai Rui turned around and went back to his room, and soon fell asleep.

When Hai Rui woke up again, the exhaustion accumulated earlier disappeared, and he felt refreshed.

Just when he was about to go back to deal with official duties, his wife Wang came in with a panicked expression and said in a trembling voice.

"Just now the officials of the Governor's Mansion sent a message saying that the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court wants to see you by name!"

"People are still waiting outside, Hai Rui, tell me honestly, is something serious going on?"

"Some time ago, you asked someone to send back a letter, saying that you would temporarily stay in the Governor's Mansion. Is it because of this?"

It has to be said that Hai Rui's wife, Wang Shi, is still very perceptive, and she quickly pieced together the original appearance of the matter from the current clues.

It must be her husband, Hai Rui, who has done something earth-shattering again!Otherwise, how could the imperial envoy sent by the court call him by name?
Perhaps, the imperial envoy came here this time, and Hai Rui contributed a lot to it.

"Don't worry, it's all right, the imperial envoy just asked me for some information!"

"I'll be back soon."

Facing his frightened wife, Hai Rui could only comfort him softly.

After comforting his wife, Hai Rui walked into the county government office resolutely.

"Lord magistrate, please go to the governor's mansion with me, the imperial envoy wants to see you in person."

"Well, this officer knows."

Hai Rui nodded, then followed the footsteps of those who came, and set foot on the road to the Governor's Mansion.
