After discussing what they needed to pay attention to, everyone left the office one after another, and Hai Rui also returned to the inn where he lived.
In the evening, the people in the city were surprised to find that many hurried and heavily armed officials suddenly appeared on the street.
"What happened? Could it be that the government is looking for the remnants of the White Lotus Sect again?"
"Oh, who knows, I won't have peace of mind all day long!"
"Stop watching the excitement and leave quickly. Be careful of the officials later. They will treat you as a remnant of the White Lotus Sect and put you in prison!"
"Yes, that's right. It's better to go home quickly and stop wandering on the street!"
But soon, the people on the street discovered a strange phenomenon. The official officers were not heading outside the city, but were approaching the homes of the famous gentry and wealthy households in the city.
"Is it possible that the government's targets are the wealthy gentry and wealthy households?"
For no reason, the people nearby could not help but have such an idea in their minds.
However, this idea only appeared for a moment and was rejected by themselves: "How could it be possible? The government and the wealthy gentry and wealthy households are obviously in a den of snakes and rats, colluding with each other!"
At this moment, Wang Qian was leading his officers towards the Zhang family, a famous wealthy family in the city.
"Boss, please tell me why we were asked to arrest the head of the Zhang family this time. Haven't we received a lot of favors from the Zhang family on weekdays? Not long ago, the Zhang family even sent someone to..."
While everyone was moving quickly along the road, the subordinates on the side couldn't restrain their curiosity and turned to ask Wang Qian.
When Wang Qian heard this, his expression suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he immediately reprimanded him.
"Shut up, are you going to die?"
After that, Wang Qian suddenly stopped, turned around, motioned for everyone to stop, and then explained to his confused subordinates.
"Not long ago, I received an order from above, saying that the Zhang family has colluded with the White Lotus Sect. If you want to survive, you must keep all the past things in your stomach. Do you understand?"
After listening to Wang Qian's narration, everyone was extremely shocked. Because the incident happened suddenly, they just got the order from their superiors and set off in a hurry without understanding the reasons behind it in detail.
And now, how could they not be shocked to hear that their superiors told themselves that a well-known wealthy family in the city actually colluded with the White Lotus Sect?
After all, colluding with the White Lotus Sect is a capital crime!
Reminiscent of all the past events, the faces of these officials were full of fear.
Wang Qian looked around and then continued to add.
"To tell you the truth, we are pretty good. I heard that additional soldiers from the guard station were dispatched!"
"What!"
At this moment, the officials were extremely shocked. This matter actually developed to the point where the soldiers from the guard station were needed. This shows how serious this matter is!
Wang Qian was very satisfied with the reaction of his subordinates. He coughed twice and continued to add.
"So, everyone must be cautious in what they do next. Do you understand?"
After Wang Qian finished speaking, the remaining officials immediately spoke in unison.
"Yes, sir!"
After that, Wang Qian led the officials and marched non-stop towards the street where Zhang's family was located.
Wang Qian didn't spend too much time and took people to the street where Zhang's family was located in the city.
Because the Zhang family is a well-known wealthy family in the city, its decoration is also quite luxurious. On both sides of the Zhang family's gate, there is a lifelike stone lion standing on each side. Just judging from the stone used, it can be seen that its price is high. , in the mouth of the stone lion, there are stone beads.
There are two huge gilt copper buckles on the painted red door, which are used for knocking on the door. The wood used for the door is also extremely expensive. If you get closer and smell it carefully, you can smell a unique fragrance.
On the gate, there is also a plaque with the words "Zhang Family" written in gilt characters.
At this moment, the boy who was in charge of guarding the door of Zhang's house saw Wang Qian and his official servants coming to the door of Zhang's house fully armed. Just when he was about to reprimand him, he was controlled by Wang Qian's men.
Wang Qian looked at the magnificent Zhang family in front of him and couldn't help but take a deep breath. After suppressing all the chaotic thoughts in his heart, he immediately turned around and gave instructions to his subordinates behind him.
"You guys, surround this place, the rest of you come in with me!"
"Yes, sir!"
As soon as Wang Qian's words fell, these officials immediately began to take action. Soon, the vicinity of Zhang's house was surrounded by heavily armed officials with weapons in hand.
When the people inside heard the noise coming from outside and came out to investigate the situation, they were greeted by the bright long knives of the officials.
"Who are you, what do you want to do, ah!"
"I am here to capture the remnants of the White Lotus Sect under the orders of the government. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
Situations like this are happening constantly. All the rich and powerful people on the list cannot escape. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
…
One night passed in the blink of an eye, early in the morning, Zhejiang, Zhejiang Governor's Mansion.
Shortly after the food from Fujian was delivered, the food originally promised by Cao Shunhe, the governor of Jiangxi, also arrived one after another.
Because of this, with enough food as support, the local people in Zhejiang who planted mulberry seedlings gradually settled down, and everything was developing in the best direction.
In recent days, Hu Zongxian has been quite leisurely. Apart from dealing with the daily affairs of the Governor's Mansion, he has nothing else to do every day.
Because of this, in his spare time, Hu Zongxian would occasionally go fishing to kill the boring time.
"The weather is really nice today!"
Hu Zongxian walked out of the room, looked at the sky outside, and said with emotion.
At this moment, a guard hurriedly walked up and reported respectfully.
"Your Majesty the Governor, someone is coming from the palace and is currently waiting in the meeting hall!"
When Hu Zongxian heard this, he couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face. Immediately, he calmed down and gave instructions to the guard.
"Well, take me there!"
Later, under the leadership of this guard, Hu Zongxian walked to the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion and saw the visitor.
When the visitor saw Hu Zongxian's arrival, he immediately stood up from his seat. While kneeling on the ground, he carefully took out the letter from his arms, raised it high above his head, and respectfully reported it.
"My Lord Governor, here is a personal letter sent to you by His Majesty!"
"Well, bring it up!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Zongxian responded in a subtle way, and immediately gave the order.
"Yes, Lord Governor!"
After getting Hu Zongxian's permission, the visitor immediately stood up from the ground, walked forward slowly, and handed the envelope in his hand to Hu Zongxian's hand.
Hu Zongxian looked at the envelope in his hand, turned his eyes to the visitor, and gave instructions.
"Well, I have received the letter. You can go down and rest first!"
"Yes, Lord Governor!"
Seeing that the purpose of his trip had been achieved, the visitor immediately left the meeting hall and went to the corresponding room to rest under the guidance of the guards of the Governor's Mansion. (End of chapter)
