"Zhao Zhenji, what is he here for? Could something happen again?"

As soon as the subordinate official finished speaking, Yan Shifan frowned, his face full of doubts.

After that, as if Yan Song had anticipated something, he turned his gaze to the former subordinate and gave instructions.

"Forget it, let him in!"

"Yes, Mr. Yan Ge!"

After receiving Yan Song's instructions, the subordinate official quickly took the order and left.

Not long after, Zhao Zhenji was seen entering the cabinet under the leadership of his subordinates.

As soon as Zhao Zhenji stepped into the cabinet, he keenly sensed that all the eyes of everyone in the cabinet were focused on him. However, Zhao Zhenji did not show any timidity about this, and bowed his hands in front of everyone with a respectful expression.

"My lower official, Zhao Zhenji, has met all of you!"

As soon as Zhao Zhenji finished speaking, Yan Shifan on the side couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked immediately.

"Mr. Zhao, do you have any business coming to the cabinet this time?"

After hearing what Yan Shifan said, Zhao Zhenji nodded slightly to everyone, took out an impeachment memorial from his sleeve, and then spoke slowly.

"Mr. Xiaoge, I'll tell you the truth. Not long ago, the Supervisory Office suddenly received many impeachment memorials, and these impeachment memorials involved a high-ranking official!"

When Zhao Zhenji said this, he paused for a moment and then continued.

"After all, this matter involves a high-ranking official. The matter is so serious that the Supervisory Office does not dare to make a decision easily. Therefore, we can only hand over this matter to the cabinet for handling!"

Although Zhao Zhenji never revealed the identity of the impeached official from beginning to end, everyone present knew very well that the impeached person was Cao Shunhe, the current governor of Jiangxi!

"Okay, show me the impeachment memorial!"

While everyone present was still watching, thinking about how to respond next, Yan Song's plain voice suddenly sounded in the cabinet, which seemed quite abrupt.

When Zhao Zhenji heard this, he felt as if he had received an amnesty. He immediately handed the impeachment memorial in his hand to Yan Song respectfully.

After Yan Song took over the impeachment memorial from Zhao Zhenji, he kept it under his control and reminded: "Mr. Zhao, it was the same last time. Your Inspectorate cannot think of going to the cabinet every time it encounters something. Push, you say so?”

When Zhao Zhenji heard this, a look of shame appeared on his face. He then wiped it with his sleeves and wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead. He responded repeatedly: "Mr. Yan Ge is right. I will pay more attention after I am dismissed." !”

Zhang Juzheng, who was silent on the side, saw this situation and couldn't help but secretly complain: "This Zhao Zhenji is too smooth in his way of being an official. He never sticks to the pot and takes the blame!"

After beating Zhao Zhenji, Yan Song unhurriedly opened the impeachment memorial in his hand and began to read the contents carefully.

Although Yan Song already knew the identity of the impeached person before this, when Yan Song finished browsing the contents of the impeachment memorial, he still put on a shocked expression: "What, Cao Shunhe!"

After that, Xu Jie looked indignant, turned his gaze to Yan Song, and said in a deep voice.

"Who is so bold as to impeach a high official in the border area? Mr. Yan Ge, can you show me the impeachment memorial?"

"Well, take it!"

When Yan Song heard this, he nodded slightly, and without any hesitation, he handed the impeachment memorial in his hand to Xu Jie's hands.

After Xu Jie took the impeachment memorial from Yan Song, he browsed the contents just like Yan Song did before.

After a long time, Xu Jie sighed helplessly. After handing the impeachment memorial to others, he turned to seek Yan Song's opinion.

"Mr. Yan Ge, do you think these impeachment memorials are true?"

As soon as Xu Jie finished speaking, Yan Song responded without hesitation: "I think these impeachment memorials are not true. Most of the charges above are fabricated out of nothing!"

"The previous impeachment memorial stated that Cao Shunhe neglected his duties, accepted bribes, and wantonly plundered people's wealth and wealth!"

"As far as I know, Cao Shunhe has been working diligently since he became the governor of Jiangxi, and the people under his rule are living a pretty good life."

When Yan Song said this, he changed the subject and continued.

"If this Cao Shunhe really neglected his duties, accepted bribes, and plundered the people's wealth and wealth, the people under his rule would not be able to live a happy life today. I am afraid they would have sold their sons and daughters!"

After Yan Song finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Jie and said, "In addition, I feel that the person who planned this matter behind the scenes is really cruel. There is no common people in his heart. Without me, the Ming Dynasty !”

"Mr. Xu Ge, what do you think?"

Xu Jie naturally heard the sarcasm in Yan Song's words. Although he was very unhappy, Xu Jie still smiled and responded.

"What Mr. Yan Ge said makes sense. The person who planned this behind the scenes really has sinister intentions and can be punished!"

"It's just that everything is possible. In my opinion, it is most appropriate to send someone to Jiangxi to investigate."

"It will not be too late to make a decision after we have investigated the whole matter. Otherwise, if something goes wrong and His Majesty investigates it, no one will be able to bear the responsibility!"

"Mr. Yan Ge, what do you think?"

As soon as Xu Jie finished speaking, Zhao Zhenji on the side could smell the increasingly strong smell of gunpowder in the air, and the trend that things were spreading towards him.

Because of this, Zhao Zhenji immediately made up his mind to stay away from this place of right and wrong. Immediately, he gritted his teeth and said respectfully.

"Mr. Yan Ge, Mr. Xu Ge, I suddenly remembered that there are some matters in the Inspectorate that need to be dealt with by me. I will file a complaint now..."

Unexpectedly, before Zhao Zhenji finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yan Song and Xu Jie speaking at the same time.

"etc!"

Immediately afterwards, Yan Song and Xu Jie looked at each other, as if they had reached an agreement. Xu Jie turned around and gave instructions to Zhao Zhenji.

"Sir Zhao, since the impeachment memorial was delivered to your Supervisory Office, your Supervisory Office must also bear corresponding responsibilities!"

"As for sending people to Jiangxi to investigate, I leave it to your Inspectorate."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhenji had a look of hesitation on his face. After considering the words in his mind, he spoke cautiously: "Mr. Xu Ge, I think this matter should be more convincing if the cabinet comes forward. By then..."

Before Zhao Zhenji could finish her words, she was interrupted by Yan Song: "Master Zhao, the cabinet has decided that your Inspectorate will be responsible for this matter!"

Yan Song took in the expression on Zhao Zhenji's face, and then added: "Master Zhao, you don't have to worry too much, there is a cabinet behind you to support you!"

Seeing that the words had come to this point, Zhao Zhenji did not dare to refuse anymore, so he had to reluctantly accept the job.

"Yes, Mr. Yan Ge, I will definitely send someone to Jiangxi as soon as possible to investigate the matter!"
