I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 257 Taste the Iron Fist of Ming Dynasty
"What are you doing, let go of people!"

"Yeah, let him go!"

Seeing that the guards of the governor's mansion don't talk about martial arts so much, they arrest people directly without saying a word.

This made many salt merchants present feel a strong sense of crisis, and repeatedly scolded the group of guards.

At this moment, I saw Zheng Michang walking out of the governor's mansion with his hands behind his back. The guards of the governor's mansion who had looked embarrassed before, seemed to have grasped at straws, and rushed forward to report.

"Report to the chief minister, this group of salt merchants gathered together to make trouble, and dare to speak out and threaten the governor's mansion!"

"Not only that, but this group of salt merchants also slandered without shame before, saying that you took their benefits but did nothing."

"The person who slandered you right now has been arrested by his subordinates."

"You fart, I never said those words!"

When the old man controlled by the guards of the Governor's Mansion heard this, he was furious and wanted to break free from the guards who controlled him.

It's just that no one at the scene cared about what he said, and he didn't break free from the guards.

After listening to the description of his subordinates, Zheng Michang's face became gloomy instantly, and then he turned his eyes to the group of salt merchants, saying word by word.

"Do you know the consequences of slandering the imperial court officials?"

Many salt merchants present were startled by Zheng Michang's threatening words, and immediately shut their mouths, not daring to speak any more.

"I heard that you are quite dissatisfied with the imperial government's policy of officially abolishing the salt introduction system?"

"I'm here now, if you have anything to say, you might as well talk to me."

"Maybe I can be of some help."

After looking around, Zheng Michang said slowly with an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Master Chief Executive, we also have hardships to speak of!"

"The imperial court suddenly announced the formal abolition of the Yanyin system, which caught us off guard. We still have a lot of Yanyin left in our hands!"

"No matter what, we have to give us a little time to prepare, let's not say anything..."

"Yeah yeah!"

After listening to Zheng Michang's previous remarks, although many salt merchants present were a little confused about this, they still chose to speak out about their plight, hoping to get some promises.

"Hmph, let me tell you, do you really dare to say it?"

"You salt merchants have colluded and gathered at the gate of the Governor's Mansion to make trouble, but you dare to openly defy the imperial policy and threaten officials!"

"Say, what are your intentions? Who is behind your back?"

"Did you take money from Japanese pirates!"

"Come here, take them all down to me, and have a good trial."

Zheng Michang sneered, and then gave orders to his subordinates in a deep voice.

"Master Chief Executive, you... what are you doing?"

At this moment, many salt merchants at the scene were frightened by the hat that Zheng Michang took off, and their faces were full of panic.

After all, this is the crime of Tongwo!Even if you survived by luck, you still have to take off half a layer of skin.

A few clever ones, seeing that the situation was not good, wanted to sneak away when there were too many people watching, but unfortunately, they were soon discovered by the guards of the Governor's Mansion and blocked their way out.

"What are you still doing there, take them all down to me!"

"Yes!"

After the subordinates on the side responded, they quickly surrounded the group of people.

And it wasn't until this time that the group of salt merchants thought of begging for mercy, and some even knelt down on the ground with a 'plop', covering their faces and weeping.

"Master Chief Executive, if you don't remember the faults of villains, please forgive us this time!"

"Yes, we are also bewitched by others! Otherwise, even if you lend us a hundred guts, we wouldn't dare to act recklessly."

A mocking smile appeared on Zheng Michang's face, and he sneered when he looked away from the group of salt merchants.

"It's too late to think of begging for mercy now."

"Give them all to this officer, and interrogate them severely!"

After receiving Zheng Michang's order, the group of guards rushed up and controlled the group of salt merchants and their servants.

During the whole process, it is not that no one tried to resist and escape from the guards, but their fate was very miserable without exception.

And those who greeted them were guards who became angry from embarrassment, and fists and feet that rained down like raindrops.

It is worth mentioning that, perhaps because of Zheng Michang's presence at the scene, this group of guards attacked extremely ruthlessly, not only using great force, but also greeting the most vulnerable places on people's bodies.

Therefore, soon some people died because they couldn't bear it.

"Report to the chief minister, the salt merchants who came to make trouble at the gate of the governor's mansion and their servants have been controlled by us!"

"Well, you did a good job. Detain them all, interrogate them strictly, and try to get them to confess the mastermind as soon as possible."

Zheng Michang nodded after listening to his subordinate's report, and then added.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Chief Executive!"

After the subordinates at the side responded, they immediately directed their subordinates to take the group of salt merchants to prison immediately.

What awaits them next is inhumane punishment!It wasn't over until they couldn't bear the punishment and confessed a person's name.

"In addition, clean the door carefully, if it is seen by others, how decent is it?"

Looking at the corpses lying in the pool of blood, Zheng Michang couldn't help frowning, and ordered so.

"Yes, Mr. Chief Executive, we will deal with it right away!"

Seeing this, the previous subordinate immediately responded with a flattering face.

"Well, not bad, work hard, I am optimistic about you."

I saw Zheng Michang patted the subordinate's shoulder lightly, and said encouragingly.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Chief Executive!"

Seeing that he was valued so highly by Zheng Michang, the chief envoy of Zhejiang, that subordinate immediately felt flattered, his body tensed involuntarily, and he replied in a deep voice.

Seeing that the matter was resolved so easily, Zheng Michang was filled with complacency, and then entered the governor's mansion at a particularly leisurely pace.

And the first thing Zheng Michang will do next is to report to Zhao Zhenji, the imperial envoy.

First, Zhao Zhenji, the imperial envoy, can see his ability to handle affairs. Second, he can quietly close the relationship between the two and prepare for the future!

"Zheng Bichang, Zheng Bichang, you have to take advantage of this opportunity."

After admonishing himself in this way, Zheng Michang immediately knocked on the door of Zhao Zhenji's room, and after getting Zhao Zhenji's consent, Zheng Michang entered it.

As soon as he entered the door, Zheng Michang saluted Zhao Zhenji very respectfully.

"Report to the imperial envoy, the group of salt merchants who gathered at the door to make trouble earlier have been properly resolved by the subordinate officials!"

At this moment, Zhao Zhenji was sitting in front of the desk, holding a book whose name and taboo could not be clearly read in his hand, and was flipping through it with relish.

Seeing that Zheng Michang had completed the tasks he had given earlier, Zhao Zhenji nodded, put the book in his hand aside, and asked.

"Well, you did a good job on this matter!"

"By the way, was anyone injured during the whole process?"

Zhao Zhenji seemed to remember it suddenly, and asked such a question out of nowhere.

"That... that, Mr. Imperial Envoy, there was a conflict between the salt merchants and guards who gathered at the gate of the Governor's Mansion to make trouble, so it was inevitable that some people were injured."

"But don't worry, the officer will handle it properly!"

Zheng Michang secretly observed, Zhao Zhenji's expression on his face, and then he added a sentence.

"Well, you can deal with it yourself."

Zhao Zhenji took a panoramic view of the expression on Zheng Michang's face, and said slowly.

"Then... the imperial envoy, since there is nothing else to do right now and you need to go down to deal with it, then I will leave first!"

Soon, Zheng Michang bid farewell to Zhao Zhenji with great interest.

"Well, you go out, I still have some business to deal with."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy!"
