At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

"The Governor is here!"

A large group of heavily armored men and horses galloped over from the other end of the street.

Wherever they passed, the sound of iron hooves rustled.

"Shut up!"

The horse team quickly came out to the prefectural gate. The leader of them was wearing a bright red official robe.

This person is none other than the current Governor-General of Zhejiang Province, Lei Zhenning.

Following closely behind Lei Zhenning were more than ten commanders, each wearing heavy armor.

Looking towards the rear, there were about a thousand cavalrymen!

"Governor, you've arrived just in time!"

When Chen Hanzhi saw Lei Zhenning coming, the anger on his face instantly disappeared. He rolled his eyes and immediately walked towards Lei Zhenning.

Lei Zhenning immediately dismounted from his horses along with more than a dozen commanders behind him.

"Your Excellency the Governor, Xia Yun, the Fourth-Rank Prefect of Hangzhou, brought a large number of troops from somewhere and arrested Hangzhou merchants for no reason."

"It has caused the economy of Hangzhou to be destroyed. Please, Governor-General, send out a royal decree and take it down!"

Chen Hanzhi reported quickly.

However, after Lei Zhenning dismounted, he looked around and his face was very gloomy.

Lei Zhenning's arrival was a little unexpected to Xia Yun.

He thought that this old fox would always ignore his existence, but he didn't expect him to appear now.

"Your humble servant greets His Excellency the Governor."

As usual, Xia Yun took the initiative to nod to Lei Zhenning.

Perhaps because of Xia Yun's proactive greeting, the gloomy look on Lei Zhenning's face seemed to have eased a lot.

But then, Lei Zhenning's eyes were fixed on Chen Han.

"As the governor of a province, who allowed you to mobilize the troops of Hangzhou City without authorization?"

Lei Zhenning immediately questioned.

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Hanzhi was stunned for a moment.

Indeed, although he was the governor of Zhejiang, he did not have the power to mobilize troops.

The 500 soldiers he brought with him on this trip were all under the command of Wang Lei, deputy general of Hangzhou.

"Someone, quickly capture Wang Lei!"

A scolding followed immediately from Lei Zhenning's mouth.

More than a dozen soldiers quickly stepped forward and pinned Wang Lei, who was following Chen Hanzhi, to the ground.

At this moment, Wang Lei panicked.

"As the deputy general of Hangzhou, your duty is to protect Hangzhou and prevent the invasion of Japanese pirates. Now you have mobilized troops without authorization and participated in the battle for the courtyard wall. What else do you want to say?"

Lei Zhenlin's voice was very cold, as if he was sentencing someone to death.

"Governor! I am guilty. I was confused and mobilized the troops. Please forgive me, Governor!"

Wang Lei kowtowed like pounding garlic.

In front of others, he is the majestic fourth-rank deputy general of Hangzhou.

But in front of the Governor-General of Zhejiang who controlled the two provinces, he was just an ant that could be crushed at any time.

"It's not easy to be an official, and it's even harder to be a military officer. I remember that you also fought on the battlefield."

"Come here, strip me of his armor, remove all his official positions, and send him to serve in the army."

Lei Zhenning's two simple sentences directly determined Wang Lei's fate.

Wang Lei felt as if he was struck by lightning, and despair instantly appeared in his eyes.

Chen Hanzhi, who was standing by, was also stunned by Lei Zhenning's sudden order.

Is this the power of the Governor of Zhejiang?

Xia Yun was on the steps, watching Lei Zhenning's every move carefully.

A fourth-rank deputy general of Hangzhou was fired just like that. He is indeed a real frontier official!

"Master Lei, General Wang's mobilization of troops was purely for a reason. Please forgive him, Master Lei."

At this time, Chen Hanzhi finally came to his senses and quickly began to persuade him.

However, upon hearing this, Lei Zhenlin just looked at Chen Hanzhi coldly.

After more than a dozen breaths, an echo finally came out of Lei Zhenlin's mouth.

"Master Chen, I only want to give you one piece of advice. Take care of yourself."

After he finished speaking, Lei Zhenlin immediately ignored Chen Hanzhi and got on his horse again.

"Go back to the barracks!"

Lei Zhenlin shouted in a low voice.

More than a dozen commanders, thousands of cavalry, including the five hundred infantry brought by Wang Lei, immediately changed direction and quickly marched back towards the military camp.

In just a few blinks of an eye, the large group of people had left the prefectural gate.

The several officials brought by Chen Hanzhi were all stunned where they were.

Without the five hundred soldiers, these people would lose their confidence.

As for Chen Hanzhi, although he was old, when he looked in the direction where Lei Zhenlin was leaving, his eyes were full of resentment.

The other party sabotaged him at the last minute, completely disregarding his dignity.

This behavior undoubtedly shows that he is not taken seriously at all.

"Sir Chen, our government is hosting a banquet, how about you all come and have a drink?"

Lei Zhenning went away. Although Xia Yun couldn't understand the reason for a moment, he was still very happy to see Chen Hanzhi being humiliated with his own eyes.

"Xia Yun, you're lucky this time!"

Chen Hanzhi snorted coldly, left a last harsh word, and then hurriedly left the prefectural gate with several officials behind him.

Soon, only Xia Yun and others were left in the field.

It was at this time that a soldier on horseback suddenly arrived at the gate.

"Master Xia, the Governor has a letter for you to read."

The soldier dismounted and immediately took out a letter from his arms and handed it respectfully to Xia Yun.

Seeing this, Xia Yun raised his eyebrows.

Then he opened the letter.

However, the letter inside the envelope only contained a simple line of words.

"God has the virtue of good life."

After a moment, Xia Yun slowly raised his head and looked in the direction where Lei Zhenlin was leaving again.

I immediately understood what Lei Zhenlin meant.

The other party's meaning was very simple, which was to ask him not to kill people indiscriminately, because those people were, after all, wealthy families established in Hangzhou.

He also has close ties with many officials in the court.

If he were killed, it would inevitably anger many officials in the court.

"Reply to the Governor and tell him that I understand."

Xia Yun retracted his gaze, glanced at the soldier who delivered the message and said.

"Yes!"

The messenger soldier mounted his horse and quickly left the prefectural government office amid the sound of hurried horse hooves.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

After the soldier walked away, Jiang Wenzhong finally spoke and asked.

How to do?

Of course it’s a big event!

"Order all brothers to have a feast!"

Xia Yun laughed. After a night of turmoil, things finally calmed down.

Upon hearing this, cheers and celebrations came from the mouths of the soldiers present.

……

Outside Hangzhou city, in the military camp.

Lei Zhenning just returned here with a group of soldiers.

As the Governor-General of Zhejiang, Lei Zhenning's current primary task is to eliminate the Japanese pirates on the Zhejiang border.

Therefore, most of the time, he basically stayed in the military camp to give commands and dispatch orders.

"Governor, is it really okay for Xia Yun to do that?"

Not long after Lei Zhenlin sat down in the military tent, a worried look appeared on the face of his trusted general beside him.

There is no doubt about it, but what is being talked about at this moment is that Xia Yun arrested almost all the vendors in the city.
