Chapter 140 Taking action

The night passed quickly, and in the early morning, Zheng Michang learned an extremely breaking news from his subordinate who came to report.

Those who Yan Maoqing had previously impeached were all captured by the Jin Yiwei last night! Naturally, Li Zhiquan, the general envoy, was not spared, and his home was ransacked as well.

Hearing the news, Zheng Michang's face flashed with a trace of joy for revenge, and he said silently to himself: "Old man, you also have today, hahaha!"

Soon, Zheng Michang reacted, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his face was full of fear: "Wait a minute, Jin Yiwei!"

"This impeachment memorial for Yan Maoqing was clearly submitted to the Supervisory Council! How did it end up in the hands of Jin Yiwei? Could it be that..."

Such a ridiculous thought suddenly appeared in Zheng Michang's mind: "Can it be said that someone is manipulating everything behind this? Who else can mobilize the Jin Yiwei to do things except His Majesty!"

Zheng Michang knew very well that before this, officials from the Qingliu faction had already submitted an impeachment memorandum about him to the Supervisory Council.

But why did these impeachment memorials fail to play their due role, and the imperial court did not send anyone to investigate the matter?

In addition, the whole thing is progressing too smoothly, and combined with the fact that Jin Yiwei ransacked the house overnight, the answer is already obvious: "His Majesty is really in charge of all this!"

Zheng Michang was frightened by his own thoughts. Thinking back to what he had done these days, he immediately broke into a cold sweat and fell back on his chair.

"Damn, I almost got myself killed!"

After a long time, Zheng Michang regained his composure, and then cursed secretly.

While Zheng Michang secretly cursed himself, he also felt very lucky: "Fortunately, I didn't rush to attack the Wen family. Otherwise, according to the previous plan, after the Wen family was ransacked, I would definitely have done something wrong!

When the time comes, this news will definitely reach His Majesty through Jin Yiwei, and the only thing waiting for you then is to confiscate your family and exterminate your clan."

I have just escaped from the gate of hell!

"Go and invite the Inspector over to me, and tell him that I have something important to discuss with him!"

After calming down, Zheng Michang called his subordinates and gave instructions in a deep voice.

"Yes, sir! I'll go right away."

After receiving the order, the subordinate quickly left.

…

An hour later, He Maocai hurried to the Governor's Mansion.

When he saw Zheng Michang sitting at the top of the meeting hall, sipping tea leisurely, he became furious and said with a dark face: "Tell me, what's the matter with calling me here so early?"

?”

"Sit!" Zheng Michang pointed to the seat next to him and said softly.

He Maocai didn't doubt his presence and sat down at the position indicated by Zheng Michang.

"Let me tell you, this matter is not simple! Our previous plan may be ruined."

Zheng Michang put down the tea cup in his hand and made a decisive move.

"What!" After listening to Zheng Michang's words, He Maocai's face was full of shock.

"Do you still remember the impeachment memorial that I asked Yan Maoqing, the deputy censor of the left capital, to write before?" Zheng Michang lowered his voice when he saw no one around.

"Remember, what happened? Did the imperial court send someone down? Who is the person sent?" He Maocai was quite puzzled by this and asked doubtfully.

"Just last night, Jin Yiwei came to our door and ransacked the homes of all the people on the list!"

"What? The impeachment memorial submitted by Yan Maoqing was obviously sent to the Supervisory Council! Why did the Jinyiwei also take action? No one in the Jinyiwei can mobilize except His Majesty. Could it be said that His Majesty..."

After Zheng Michang's reminder, He Maocai quickly reacted, his eyes full of shock.

"Then what we did before was not..."

"It doesn't matter. As long as we work hard and handle the Wen family's matter properly, His Majesty will probably not pursue it."

Zheng Michang saw He Maocai's panic and comforted him.

"Huh, that's good, that's good." Hearing Zheng Michang's comfort, He Maocai's worried heart relaxed a little.

"Then when shall we take action?" He Maocai asked immediately.

"The sooner the better. The Jin Yiwei's action last night should be a signal to us that this matter cannot be delayed any longer! We should take action immediately."

After Zheng Michang finished speaking, he stood up from the chair, clasped his hands and said in a deep voice.

"Do you have enough manpower there? Do you need me to arrange it from the Inspectorate?"

"Well, we should have enough manpower in the Governor's Mansion, the Chief Envoy's Department, and your Inspector's Department! There must not be any mistakes in this process. Our brothers' fortunes and lives depend entirely on this."

After Zheng Michang finished speaking, his face was full of solemnity.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen!"

After He Maocai comforted him, he left from the Governor's Mansion, and then got on the sedan chair to return to the Inspectorate. He wanted to go back in person to transfer people.

After He Maocai left, Zheng Michang called his subordinates and told him: "Transmit the order for me, and tell the guards of the Chief Envoy to rush to the Governor's Mansion immediately. I have something for them to handle!"

"

"Yes, sir, I will definitely bring the order to you!" Seeing the solemn expression on Zheng Michang's face, the subordinate did not dare to neglect. After receiving the order, he rushed to the Chief Envoy's Office without stopping.

On the side, He Maocai quickly summoned his guards and rushed towards the Governor's Palace after returning to the Inspectorate.

…

Outside the gate of the Zhejiang Governor-General's Palace, three people, including the Inspector General's Office, the Chief Executive Officer's Office, and the Governor-General's Office, have gathered.

"Everyone, I called you here today just for one thing, and that is to ransack your home!"

Zheng Michang turned his attention to the three groups of people gathered at the door of the Governor's Mansion and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing that Zheng Michang said that his house would be ransacked, these guards suddenly became very excited and began to discuss in whispers, and even the resentment they had accumulated earlier dissipated a lot.

"Quiet!"

Zheng Michang glanced at the guards who were communicating, frowned, and said in a deep voice.

As soon as Zheng Michang finished speaking, the group of guards immediately fell silent.

"The Wen family in that city made their fortune by selling private salt, which was expressly prohibited by the imperial court. In addition, they accumulated wealth by selling private salt and bribed officials profusely! And the Wen family is even more domineering.

Abnormal, he actually dares to kill someone in the street."

"Today, you will get rid of this big scourge for the people of Hangzhou!"

"That's all what I said, do you have any more questions?"

"No more, sir!"

Then Zheng Michang got on his horse and ordered: "The Wen family in the target city, set off!"

"Yes!" Behind Zheng Michang, followed by a large group of people, they all headed towards the location of the Wen family in the city.

On the street, when the crowd saw this posture, they all moved out of the way.

After the team had gone away, a passerby asked doubtfully: "Look at the government's formation, aren't they going to capture someone?"

"Who knows, maybe he went to arrest the bandits in the city! It has nothing to do with us, right?" the vendor on the side responded.

"Yes." The passerby nodded and no longer dwelled on the matter.

…

Soon, a large group of people arrived at the Wen family's mansion in the city.

"Knock on the door." After controlling the servants guarding the door, Zheng Michang reined in the reins and ordered the subordinates behind him.

"Yes, sir!" After receiving the order, the subordinates on the side came to the door of Wen's house and knocked on the door.

"Come on, come on, stop knocking!" came the butler's voice from inside the house.

When the housekeeper opened the door and saw Zheng Michang on horseback and many guards following him, he felt a thump in his heart, but then he forced a smile and asked, "Mr. Chief Envoy, what are you doing?"

"Do you still need to ask? Of course the house was ransacked. Get him!"

"yes!"

Zheng Michang waved his hand violently, and the guards behind him swarmed up and controlled the housekeeper firmly.

Then a large number of guards rushed into Wen's house. The noises, cries, and the sound of broken ceramics could not be heard.

Ps: I sent out the evening ones in advance.
