Episode 20
Under Hu Zongxian's expectations and the public's attention, Zhao Zhenji returned to the governor's office, ready to fulfill his promise.He knows that the next task is both difficult and urgent - recovering stolen money and urgently raising military pay to cope with the current tense situation.
Zhao Zhenji did not hesitate to interrogate Zheng Michang and He Maocai in the second hall.Although Zheng Michang still held a fluke mentality and firmly believed that Yang Jinshui would come to the rescue, Zhao Zhenji was not moved by it.He quietly waited for the arrival of jurors Hai Rui and Wang Yongji, preparing to continue the interrogation.
At the same time, as soon as Hai Rui arrived in Hangzhou, he immediately went to the Zhensi Yamen Prison and began to interrogate Zheng Michang and He Maocai.His arrival made the whole case more eye-catching.Wang Yongji knew that this matter was not trivial and immediately informed Zhao Zhenji.Zhao Zhenji did not stop him, but chose to notify Yang Jinshui again.
Yang Jinshui was well aware of Zhao Zhenji's move. He understood that Zhao Zhenji was trying to uncover some unknown truths with the help of Hai Rui.He hurried to the prison of Zhensi Yamen in an attempt to prevent the situation from developing further.
During the interrogation process, Hai Rui came close to two serious cases: destroying the embankment of the Xin'an River and flooding the fields and releasing the Japanese leader Jushiro Inoue.These questions directly involve the secrets of the palace.Yang Jinshui was shocked when he heard this in the dark room next door.He understood that if the interrogation continued, sooner or later the palace would be involved. This would undoubtedly be a huge crisis for them.
Therefore, Yang Jinshui immediately ordered Jin Yiwei to stop Hai Rui's interrogation.
