Chapter 224 Shocking News

"Well, I will go with you!"

After listening to Hu Zongxian's description, Zhao Zhenji also felt the seriousness of the matter, and then spoke out.

"Thank you, Imperial Envoy!"

When Hu Zongxian saw that Zhao Zhenji was going with him, a trace of gratitude appeared on his face.

With Zhao Zhenji, the imperial envoy, present, this matter will be handled much more smoothly.

Soon, the two rode on the horses that had been prepared and rushed towards the city gate!
And behind them, followed by a large number of guards, responsible for guarding their safety.

A while later, Hu Zongxian and Zhao Zhenji, leading the guards, rushed to the gate of the city.

"My official is Hu Zongxian, governor of Zhejiang Province and governor of Zhejiang Province. Where is the person who just came to deliver the letter?"

Hu Zongxian took a step forward and asked the officials in charge of guarding the city gate.

The officials guarding the city gate had never seen such a battle, and immediately knelt down on the ground, trembling and said: "Report...report to the Governor, the person who came to deliver the letter just now is exhausted, and the subordinates have already ordered someone to arrest him. Send it down to rest."

"Well, take me there!"

Hu Zongxian nodded, and then gave instructions to the visitor.

"Yes, Governor, please follow me!"

Soon, under the leadership of the officials in charge of guarding the city gate, everyone came to the room where the previous man was resting, and pushed the door open.

At this moment, the person who came to deliver the letter also noticed the movement in the room, opened his eyes suddenly, and touched his hand under the pillow.

"My official is Hu Zongxian, governor of Zhejiang Province and governor of Zhejiang Province. Is everything you said true?"

Hu Zongxian had a panoramic view of the future man's movements, and then he waved his hand to stop the guards who wanted to make a move, and said calmly.

"You are Hu Zongxian?"

After the visitor finished speaking, he stopped his movements, not only that, but also looked Hu Zongxian up and down.

"Bold, how dare you call your lord by his first name!"

When the guards at the side heard this, they were furious, and they were about to take it down, but Hu Zongxian stopped him with his eyes.

"That's right, my official is Hu Zongxian! The person next to me is the imperial envoy sent by His Majesty to Zhejiang."

"Now, answer me honestly! Is what you said earlier true?"

The visitor was overwhelmed by the aura exuded by Hu Zongxian, and no longer doubted Hu Zongxian's identity.

Immediately afterwards, he knelt down on the ground, carefully took out the letter in his arms, and said respectfully.

"This is the letter that my lord wants to entrust you to submit directly to the imperial court!"

"The letter described the current situation in Jiangxi in detail."

After the visitor finished speaking, he immediately added another sentence.

Seeing this, the guard on the side took the envelope from the stranger and handed it over to Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian took the envelope, and instead of opening it in a hurry, he looked at Zhao Zhenji who was beside him.

Seeing that Zhao Zhenji did not raise any objections, Hu Zongxian opened the letter and browsed the contents above.

After a long time, Hu Zongxian put down the letter and sighed: "It seems that the situation in Jiangxi has deteriorated to the point where the imperial court must send a large army to wipe it out!"

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he handed over the letter in his hand to Zhao Zhenji, and the latter was furious after reading the contents of the letter.

"This group of insects, how dare they!"

"Master Zhao, the situation is urgent, we should inform His Majesty of this matter immediately! Let His Majesty make a decision as soon as possible."

"Let's return to the Governor's Mansion now!"

After Hu Zongxian's reminder, Zhao Zhenji also quickly reacted, saying so.

Right now, what the two of them should do is to tell the emperor exactly what happened!And make preparations to lead the army to Jiangxi to counter the rebellion.

After all, this group of officials, not to mention taking bribes from salt merchants, dared to join forces and blatantly emptied a big official from the frontier!
And this, without a doubt, violated the court's bottom line!

At this point, the nature of the whole matter has completely changed, and this group of bold and reckless officials can already be treated as a rebel force.

That being the case, then the imperial court also has a suitable reason to send a large army to suppress it, and all officials in Jiangxi will be doomed!
"Pass down my order, from now on, mobilize the food, ordnance, salaries and other materials needed by the army! In addition, notify the nearby guards, as well as Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou's side, and let them prepare for battle."

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

After receiving Hu Zongxian's order, the subordinates beside him quickly passed the order down level by level.

……

After returning to the Governor's Mansion, Hu Zongxian and Zhao Zhenji hurriedly began to write a secret letter to be submitted to His Majesty without taking a break.

"Your Majesty, I have just received a request for help from Jiangxi Governor Cao Shunhe!"

"In his letter, he described the current situation in Jiangxi in detail. At present, the big salt merchants in Jiangxi colluded with local officials, causing the imperial court to capsize the ship transporting official salt."

"And this group of salt merchants took this opportunity to hoard and keep the price of salt high, making huge profits from it!"

"Furthermore, Cao Shunhe, governor of Jiangxi, has been evacuated, and the local chief envoys, inspectors, and commanders no longer obey his orders!"

"In addition, even most of the officials in the government were bought by the salt merchants and became their puppets and eyeliners. In the letter, Cao Shunhe requested the court to send a large army as soon as possible to suppress this rebellious force."

"Right now, the situation in Jiangxi is not optimistic. Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible!"

"My minister Hu Zongxian salutes again!"

Hu Zongxian put down the brush in his hand, and after the ink on the paper was dry, he handed it to Zhao Zhenji who was beside him.

"Master Zhao, take a look!"

Zhao Zhenji took the letter from Hu Zongxian's hand and browsed the contents above.

After a long time, he nodded and said to Hu Zongxian.

"This letter, please submit it to His Majesty through the official channel!"

"As the imperial envoy, I have the highest priority. At that time, this letter can reach His Majesty as soon as possible."

"So good!"

After listening to Zhao Zhenji's words, Hu Zongxian did not raise any objection, but nodded.

Seeing that Hu Zongxian agreed, Zhao Zhenji immediately put the letter into the envelope, and added his own name and Hu Zongxian's name on the envelope.

After doing all this, Zhao Zhenji called his subordinates and ordered in a deep voice.

"Send this letter to His Majesty as soon as possible without any delay, understand?"

The subordinates summoned by Zhao Zhenji, after seeing the signature on the envelope, also understood that the contents of the letter must be extremely important, and there must be no mistakes!
"Yes, my lord, this subordinate must bring the letter as soon as possible!"

After the visitor responded, he left quickly.

……

At this moment, in the main tent of the barracks, Qi Jiguang was lighting up the night battle, studying military books hard.

Since the last time he went out with Hu Zongxian and captured Wang Zhi, Qi Jiguang has been idle.

In addition to daily training of soldiers, he often studies military books.

Suddenly, only heard a rush of footsteps from outside the camp, Qi Jiguang put down the books in his hand, and couldn't help becoming alert.

"Report to the general, there is news from the governor!"

At this moment, Qi Jiguang's bodyguard walked in quickly and reported to him.

"Oh, is there any news from the governor?"

After hearing what the visitor said, Qi Jiguang raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but become curious.

Right now, most of the Japanese pirates along the southeast coast have been wiped out!The rest of the Japanese pirates have also gone into hiding, not daring to show their heads again.

What is it that can make the Governor so caring, and at such a late time, he sent someone to send the news.

"Report to the general, the governor has just ordered the distribution of food, ordnance, salaries and other materials needed by the army from various places, and let us prepare for battle at any time!"

"The governor said that when His Majesty's order arrives, he will personally lead the army to Jiangxi to suppress the rebellion!"

"What, go to Jiangxi to suppress the rebellion! Is there a rebellion in Jiangxi?"

After Qi Jiguang heard the news from his subordinates, he was also taken aback. He hurried to the map and began to analyze the current situation.

"Report to the general, according to the person sent by the governor, Cao Shunhe, the governor of Jiangxi, has been dismissed by his officials!"

"He sent a request for help to the governor, hoping that the court will send an army there as soon as possible!"
