Shen Yishi's home was sealed, but the workshop couldn't be stopped. On the one hand, Zheng Michang and He Maocai sent a large number of people to the counties to urge the collection of raw silk, and on the other hand, they invited Hu Zongxian's hometown, Huizhou weavers, to prepare to sell Shen Yishi's 25 workshops and 3,000 looms to them at a price. Zheng Michang and He Maocai delusionally thought that once this matter was negotiated, the military salaries urgently needed for the war ahead and the 500,000 horses of silk sold to the West would be solved, and they would be able to offset the merits.
But they did not know that the new governor Zhao Zhenji and Jinyiwei, who had captured them, were already at a post station only thirty miles from Hangzhou, and they themselves were imprisoned a few hours later. Zhao Zhenji sent an edict to track down Shen Yishi's family wealth, and was very puzzled when he learned that Shen Yishi's family property was going to be sold to Hui merchants. Yang Jinshui explained that there was a shortage of military supplies in Hu Zongxian's camp at the moment, and the imperial court would sell 500,000 horses of silk to the West this year, which were the most important things, and made it clear that Lu Fang had already asked for instructions on this matter. Zheng Michang and He Maocai even coaxed and deceived to negotiate a deal, and rushed to report the good news to Yang Jinshui, but they were arrested. In the past 20 years, Shen Yishi has handed over four million pieces of silk, of course Yang Jinshui is also greedy for ink, Zheng Michang and He Maocai bit Yang Jinshui, hoping that he could save his life.
At the same time, Hai Rui and Wang Yongji were also appointed as jurors to review the Zhejiang ink corruption case.
Zhao Zhenji came to the Yamen of the Governor of Zhejiang to see Hu Zongxian, and suspected that he was being used as a gunman. Hu Zongxian bluntly said that Zhejiang is a mess now, and if it is done well, Zhao Zhenji may enter the cabinet to pay respects! Emperor Jiajing was looking for a candidate for the next cabinet. said something that made Zhao Zhenji's eyes light up. Hu Zongxian learned that his hometown friendship was also involved in the Yan Party, and he was furious without knowing it. In desperation, I had to ask Zhao Zhenji again to handle the affairs of Zhejiang.
