"In early June, we arrived in Zhenhai County, Ningbo, and inspected the entire mansion for more than a month. We also went to Yuyao, Shaoxing, Ninghai, Taizhou, and Southeast merchants came to visit or met in private. They all said that in order to make money, the Zhejiang inspector Qian Yuan colluded with Wang Zhi, and forced marine merchants to smuggle out of the sea and kill people and rob people..."

Xu Jie was reciting the secret letter from Zhao Zhenji to Beijing seven days ago. He paused, and he turned indifferently to look at another letter on the side table.

"On the sixth day of the seventh month, I returned to Zhenhai from Cixi and was suddenly plundered to the depths of Houtao Mountain. That night, more than a thousand bandits attacked, burned the warehouse, raised swords and guns, and headed straight for the formation."

"Zhejiang Inspector Qian Yuan, Ningbo Prefect Tang Shunzhi, Governor General Wang Yin, Zheng Ruozeng are all there, Qian family guards defeat the enemy three times, Zhejiang Dusi guerrilla general Qi Jimei led two hundred soldiers out of Jinji Mountain, crossing the river to catch their way..."

After reading this, Xu Jie couldn't continue to recite it anymore and threw the letter at Zhang Juzheng.

The letter paper fluttered and fell on the ground. Zhang Juzheng bent down and picked it up and looked carefully. There was no expression on his face, but he was sighing in his heart. It turned out that it was the good thing Zhan Caibu made three years ago.

Lu Guangzu and Xu Fan read the letter one after another, but were speechless for a moment.

Whether it was Xu Fan, Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng, Lu Guangzu were all cold. Although he had known that young man in his twenties was of extraordinary quality, he unexpectedly had deep thoughts and sophisticated methods.

In the 34th year of Jiajing, more than a hundred real Japanese traveled thousands of miles, killing officers and soldiers along the way, and more than 5,000 people, breaking four cities, burning dozens of villages, crossing the Yangtze River to take the Nandu. This incident shocked the world and Your Majesty was very furious.

The secret behind this incident... Qian Yuan hid it in his heart. Until he went south to attack the Japanese victory? The Japanese invasion in Liangzhe was pacified and Wang Zhi was recruited? It was only after he designed that those maritime merchants jumped into the dug pit.

Such scheming? How can you not make them alert if you do this?

Lu Guangzu quietly glanced at Xu Jie, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. The letter said very much that Zhao Zhenji should have learned the inside story afterwards? In other words... for more than a month, Zhao Zhenji has been played with applause.

Not only Qian Yuan, but also those maritime merchants... Zhao Zhenji is very famous and a master of Neo-Confucianism, but between Qian Yuan and those maritime merchants? Zhao Zhenji is just a chess piece? Even a chess piece that is not very useful.

The study was very quiet. Zhang Juzheng stared at the beating candlelight and couldn't help but feel dazed... I remember three years ago when I learned that my friend was kidnapped by Japanese pirates, I was sad about the death of my friend, and I also regretted the lack of help that might help me achieve success.

But that friend escaped? He caused a big storm in Beijing, and he became his own wayblock... And now? His friend has become famous all over the world and is destined to be a famous master in history? But he clings to Xu Jie and enters the Zhan Shi Mansion...

Of course, that person is no longer a friend.

All three of them were speechless? This letter shattered their previous plans with one blow? The letter Zhao Zhenji's previous letter... is simply the opposite of this letter? The same incident has a completely opposite explanation.

Xu Fan rashly broke his silence, "Since the Japanese pirates attacked Nanjing three years ago was the mastermind of these maritime merchants, these maritime merchants were considered Japanese pirates... Xiangshan Island was attacked twice, and this time Zhenhai County was also attacked, which can also be explained as Japanese riots, and it makes sense to impeach the Japanese riots in Zhejiang.

Xu Jie's fierce eyes came, which scared Xu Fan to his mouth.

Not only are you a fellow villager, but also a classmate, or even your son-in-law. You can't see through this situation in the southeast afterwards... Xu Jie was angry and scolded: "If you can be dismissed if you impeached, why would Yan Fen be in power for more than ten years?"

"Don't be angry with your master, your brother is still young..." Lu Guangzu was stunned. The man was younger than Xu Fan and was Xu Fan's son-in-law. The term "age is still young" is not appropriate.

Seeing Xu Fan's cheeks turned pale due to fright, Xu Jie sighed. It was embarrassing that Japan did not intend to let his eldest son come in.

"Yan Fen is in charge of the government affairs for more than ten years, and the court has been impeached continuously. Yang Jiaoshan and Shen Qingxia all wrote to impeach him with a letter of impeachment, but they were either imprisoned and killed, or demoted to the frontier." Lu Guangzu explained softly: "Yan Fen is to be charmed in everything, and Your Majesty has a strong belief. This is the reason why he is unstoppable."

Xu Fan was still a little dissatisfied, "It is said that today the Jinyiwei went north to search for Yang Shun, the Governor of Xuanda, to be imprisoned... He is Yan Fenyi's adopted son."

Lu Guangzu said patiently: "This year, Jimen was defeated by Altan's surprise attack. His Majesty was already unhappy. Just a few months later, Altan moved westward and almost defeated the Right Guard of Datong. He defeated the officers and soldiers in Xuanfu, and broke dozens of castles in a row.

This was the biggest defeat in the Gengxu Rebellion in the 29th year of Jiajing. Your Majesty was furious. Wang Minying, the governor of Ji Liao, and Yang Shun, the governor of Xuanda, were irrefutable and could not be shirked."

Looking at the silent Xu Jie, Lu Guangzu continued: "Last year, Hu Ruzhen defeated Xu Hai in Shaoxing, and then recruited Wang Zhi, and the Japanese invasions in both Zhejiang gradually subsided... If the Japanese invasion resurfaced this year, if the Japanese invasion could collude with Wang Zhi, Your Majesty would be furious. Even if Hu Ruzhen was not imprisoned and considered guilty, he would be demoted."

Seeing what Xu Fan wanted to say, Xu Jie scolded: "Does there be Japanese attacks in Liangzhe now? Do you think Your Majesty doesn't know?"

"Cough cough." Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly: "Xu Wen Chang entered Zhixiyuan and was often on the side of the emperor. Zhan Cai's letters to Beijing often came into Xiyuan and directly resisted the case. Your Majesty must be aware of the inside story."

Lu Guangzu sighed: "There are many censors who impeach Zhan Cai, and this is a major reason."

Zhang Juzheng thought to himself that the memorials impeached Qian Yuan and Sui Yuan these days, Your Majesty kept them and refused to post them. I don’t know if it was Your Majesty’s thoughts or Xu Wei’s actions.

Well, I thought too much, that was because Emperor Jiajing wanted to watch the show... Of course, the most fundamental reason was that the cost in the court and the Ningbo Tax Silver was needed. Emperor Jiajing was so virtuous that he hid behind and watched others break into the mine formation.

Xu Fan thought for a while and suddenly slapped his thigh, "So, the best opportunity for Dazhou Gong to search for Wang Zhi in early February!"

Lu Guangzu and Zhang Juzheng looked at each other, and they both lowered their eyes and said nothing... That matter was indeed the best opportunity. If one is not good, Wang Zhi's subordinates were about to cause trouble. His Majesty must be furious and held accountable directly. None of them could escape from Hu Ruzhen, Qian Zhancai to Tang Shunzhi.

Unfortunately, just one day later, Qian Yuan decisively rushed to Hangzhou, surrounded the governor's office, and snatched Wang Zhi out.

But this matter is a bit dirty... It is the kind of person who can do it and cannot say it. Who is like Xu Fan, who is just talking it out of the way?

Zhang Juzheng frowned, picked up the letter paper and looked at it again, "Qi Jimei..."

Lu Guangzu casually said: "Fujian General Qi Jimei's younger brother, last year, he won two great victories in Changshui Town and Tongxiang. Both of them have military achievements, so they should be Zhan Cai's confidant."

Lu Guangzu had a good impression of Qian Yuan. After all, he was from Pinghu, Jiaxing. Qian Yuan made many military achievements in Jiaxing Prefecture. When Chongde won a great victory, the Lu family avoided Chongde County. Last year, Tongxiang won a great victory, and the Lu family also took refuge in Tongxiang City.

Zhang Juzheng nodded slightly and put down the letter paper. He noticed that Qi Jimei crossed the river from Jinji Mountain, while Zhao Zhenji's previous letter mentioned that Wang Zhi led his command to build a village in the foot of Jinji Mountain.

Impeach Qian Yuan to collude with Japanese pirates... I'm afraid it's really right, but if Qian Yuan hadn't taken out Wang Zhi from the Governor's Office, I'm afraid Qi Jimei wouldn't have hidden it in the Golden Rooster Mountain.

"Uncle?" Xu Jie asked with a frown.

"Father-in-law." Zhang Juzheng bowed: "Now there are still many people in the court who impeached talent, and I hope my father-in-law will defeat him."

Xu Fan snorted, "I remember you and that guy are friends..."

"Stop!" Xu Jie was speechless. Although the Qian and Xu families had already parted ways, Xu Jie's target this time was not Qian Yuan, but instead turned to Hu Zongxian. There is no excuse now. Do you still have to fight with Qian Yuan?

You should know that Qian Yuan is not easy to mess with. Not to mention the heroes who follow the garden, not to mention Jian’s heart, just Gao Gong, who is commensurate with Qian Yuan’s uncle and nephew... At least Xu Jie is unwilling to mess with him.

"You go out!" Xu Jie couldn't bear it anymore.

This letter has proved that there is no reason for the recurrence of the Japanese disease.

And Zhenhai Tax Bank accounts... Fang Dun said that the accounts were clear and others sent the accounts to Beijing.
