Immediately afterwards, Yan Shifan seemed to suddenly remember and immediately reported to Yan Songhui.
"Father, I wonder if you still remember the Hai Rui who was in charge of supervising the case last time?"
Hearing this, Yan Song withdrew his gaze from Yan Shifan, and after recalling it for a long time, he asked.
"Well, I have an impression of this person. Wasn't this Hai Rui just promoted to the position of Yushi of Youqian City not long ago?"
Seeing that Yan Song had an impression of Hai Rui, Yan Shifan became excited. After sorting out the words in his mind, he continued.
"Yes, father, this Hai Rui was promoted to the position of censor of Youqian City not long ago!"
"Father, do you know that after the last incident, my son specially sent people to investigate this Hai Rui. You might as well guess what my son found out?"
When Yan Song heard this, he couldn't help but frown, an impatient look appeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice.
"Okay, just say what you have to say directly, don't be pretentious here!"
Seeing this situation, Yan Shifan had no choice but to tell Yan Song all the information he had found.
"Father, this Hai Rui is a rare honest official in our Ming Dynasty!"
"Haier previously sent people to investigate Hai Rui. Even though we tried all possible means, we couldn't find any evidence of Hai Rui accepting bribes."
"According to the investigation, besides his daily work, Hai Rui's biggest hobby is to stay at home and read books."
"As for the many entertainments in the officialdom, he does not participate in them at all. Since he became an official, he has only married one wife!"
When Yan Shifan said this, he paused for a moment and then continued to add.
"He lives in poverty, and the mansion he currently lives in is temporarily leased to him by Zhao Zhenji."
After listening to Yan Shifan's narration, Yan Song's impression of Hai Rui became clearer.
At the same time, Yan Song suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of panic in his heart and fell into deep thought.
In his opinion, the reason why people are so keen on being an official is, in the final analysis, nothing more than fame and fortune!
Hai Rui, on the other hand, has always maintained an honest and self-sufficient style since he entered the officialdom. In addition, judging from the fact that Hai Rui has only married one wife so far, this Hai Rui is likely to be bad. Female lust.
So here comes the question. This Hai Rui is neither greedy for money nor lustful. He is also very meticulous in his work, making it impossible for anyone to find any fault. How can I conquer him?
Yan Song knew in his heart that if people like Hai Rui were described in the past, they would have great ambitions, a good plan, the opportunity to hide the universe, and the ambition to swallow up the world!
"It seems that Hai Rui has a big agenda!"
Yan Song suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart and gradually came back to his senses. Then he picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.
Yan Shifan on the side saw that Yan Song had been thinking for a long time, so he couldn't help but step forward and asked.
"Father?"
When Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan who was so close, he was furious and immediately reprimanded.
"Look at me, look at you, you useless thing!"
"Get out of here!"
When Yan Shifan saw this situation, he quickly reacted and immediately knelt on the ground and begged Yan Song for forgiveness.
"Father, my child has disappointed you in many places."
"Please father, please give the child a chance to change his ways. The child will definitely live up to your trust!"
In an instant, the atmosphere in the room froze, and no one on either side spoke anymore.
Time passed by so slowly. I don’t know how long it took, but Yan Song sighed helplessly, helped Yan Shifan up from the ground, and gave instructions.
"Don't interact with those guys in the future. When you have nothing to do, you can just stay at home and study!"
"This way, I'll have less to worry about."
Perhaps influenced by the current atmosphere, Yan Shifan withdrew his gaze and responded in a deep voice.
"Father, I can!"
…
Hai Rui's house, study room.
At this moment, Hai Rui was sitting at the desk, browsing the files in his hands.
Ever since Hai Rui took on the mission of going to Henan Province to investigate the grain storage in granaries, he rarely rested and spent most of his time familiarizing himself with the contents recorded in these files.
In the file, officials of all sizes in Henan Province, their names, place of origin, promotion history and other information are all recorded in detail!
These files were specially sent by Zhao Zhenji, with special instructions not to let anyone know about them.
Then, Hai Rui frowned slightly, put the file in his hand aside, and muttered to himself silently.
"Henan Chief Envoy Yang Yinglin and Henan Inspector Liu Yuan, what is the relationship between these two people?"
"Logically speaking, this matter shouldn't be like this. Could it be that the accounts are divided unevenly, or something else..."
Just as Hai Rui was thinking hard about the possible reasons behind the whole incident, Wang pushed the door open angrily, came to Hai Rui, and questioned him.
"Hai Rui, are you hiding something from me again?"
"Recently, whenever I get home from work, I go to the study room!"
"And you've been here all night. What on earth are you doing? You can't survive this day?"
When Hai Rui saw this, he had no intention of hiding it anymore and immediately spoke.
"It's like this. His Majesty asked me to investigate a case. It's time to set off soon. I..."
Before Hai Rui finished speaking, he was interrupted excitedly by Wang.
"What did you just say? His Majesty named you to investigate the case!"
"So, you are the imperial envoy?"
Hai Rui saw the expression on his wife Wang's face and could only nod his head and said slowly.
"Well, I guess so!"
After getting the specific answer from Hai Rui, Wang couldn't help but become excited, and looked at Hai Rui with a little more worry.
"Haha, now my husband is an imperial envoy!"
However, Wang quickly calmed down, a look of worry appeared on her face, and immediately asked Hai Rui.
"What case has His Majesty asked you to investigate this time? Will there be any danger?"
Hai Rui heard the worry in his wife's words, shook his head, and pretended to be relaxed and comforted.
"Don't worry, my husband is an imperial envoy sent by His Majesty. No one dares to attack me!"
"The only thing we need to worry about is whether we can get to the bottom of the case."
After hearing Hai Rui's comfort, Mrs. Wang quickly felt relieved, nodded, and spoke.
"Do you need me to help you unpack all your luggage?"
Hearing this, Hai Rui nodded and said softly.
"Madam, I'm sorry to trouble you."
When Wang heard this, she couldn't help but turn around and snorted coldly, her face full of anger.
"Really, why are you saying these things!"
After Wang said these words, she turned around and left the study. Hai Rui looked at the back of his wife Wang as she left, and the look on her face was no longer as relaxed as before.
Hai Rui knew that it would be difficult for him to go to Henan to investigate the amount of grain stored this time!
There is no other reason. Since the local officials dared to take action against the grain stored in the official warehouse, they must have made corresponding plans before doing so, and they may even have something to rely on in the court.
"Hmph, you bunch of moths, just wait and see how I will deal with you!"
Hai Rui looked away from the scenery outside the window, clenched his fists, and muttered silently to himself.
