No words all night.

The next morning, Xu Yan got up and washed up just after dawn.

In order not to disturb his sleeping father, he changed his clothes lightly, put on a net towel and left the house.

The Governor's Yamen is not far from Chen's Mansion. Xu Yan had already inquired about the specific location and walked straight to it.

The north of Hangzhou City is a gathering area for major yamen. Xu Yan passed by Qiantang County, Hangzhou Government Office, and the Governor's Office. Xu Yan had a clear goal, so he naturally would not be distracted here. But soon after he continued to move forward, he stopped in front of a luxury residence with flying eaves.

I saw that the mansion was surrounded by people, and it was probably ordinary people who dressed up.

Xu Yan was a little curious and stepped forward a few steps to find out what was going on.

"Mr. Chen is wronged. He did not embezzle silver, so we can all testify."

"Mr. Chen treats us weavers very well. The monthly money is paid on time, and there is no deduction."

"We can testify that Mr. Chen is wronged!"

Xu Yan finally squeezed in and looked up and saw that this was not the Hangzhou Weaving Office but what it was!

Hangzhou weaving can be roughly divided into two parts. One is the weaving yamen, which is the official office, which is managed by the admiral weaving eunuchs. The other is the weaving and dyeing bureau, which is the factory.

During the Hongwu and Yongle periods of the Ming Dynasty, the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau was divided into several halls or numbers. Each bureau had three leaders and managers. Under them were technical and business managers such as general masters, masters, and stewards, who were responsible for supervising and leading craftsmen to engage in weaving. The Weaving Bureau was divided into three computer rooms, namely the supply machine room, the Japanese satin machine room and the silk machine room. The technical division was relatively fine, and according to the process, various craftsmen were operated by dyeing and yarn brushing warp craftsmen, shaking textile craftsmen, shaking warp craftsmen, threading craftsmen and weaving craftsmen. Generally speaking, craftsmen were served by shift craftsmen.

But during the Jiajing period, although the craftsmanship still existed, the shift system had already been in name only.

In order to complete the task, the weaving yamen had to select civilian machine craftsmen to serve as official craftsmen. Of course, this job was not done directly by the official yamen, but was handed over to imperial merchants like the Chen family. In short, it was outsourced the task.

It is obvious that these people in front of you are the machinists hired by the Chen family.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yan still felt a little warm. It seemed that his grandfather had a good character, otherwise these craftsmen would not have gathered outside the weaving yamen to petition him.

Even so, Xu Yan, who had planned it for a long time, would not waste time here, but turned around and headed to the governor's office.

The Governor's Office is located in the middle of the north of Hangzhou City, and is very majestic.

Xu Yan came to the yamen and sorted out his clothes and stepped forward.

"Xu Yan, an old friend of Futai, came to visit Dinghai County, Dinghai County, Ningbo Prefecture, and asked for a notification from the mandate."

The official on duty in front of the yamen saw Xu Yan dressed in a Confucian scholar and thought to himself that he should be a scholar. He also heard that he claimed to be a friend of the Futai Master and did not dare to neglect him. He nodded gently and said, "Young Master, please wait here for a moment, I'll go and report it."

Although Xu Yan was prepared for a long time, he still used this time to pass the draft in his mind.

The matter involved the admiral weaving eunuch Sun Qing, who had to find a reason to let Zhu Wan intervene in the matter.

After about a cup of tea, the yamen returned and smiled at Xu Yan, "Prince Xu, please come with me."

Xu Yan clearly felt that the man's attitude had improved a lot, and nodded gently and said, "I'm working hard."

Under the guidance of the yamen official, Xu Yan successfully entered the governor's yamen. Compared with the Dinghai County yamen, it is more than twice as big as it is. It is so pleasant that flowers, plants and trees are planted everywhere. However, Xu Yan has been walking quickly and has not much time to stop and watch.

He walked along the corridor, passed through a hanging flower door, and a moon gate came to the backyard.

Xu Yan looked around and saw the rockery and flowing water in the courtyard, and all kinds of pavilions and towers. It was so beautiful when changing the scenery. Even the famous Jiangnan gardens that enjoyed the world's reputation are no less than those famous Jiangnan gardens.

Wow, no wonder everyone wants to take the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official. Their power and status have improved their quality of life too much.

"Please take care of yourself, Mr. Xu."

The man brought Xu Yan there and retreated.

Xu Yan looked closely and Zhu Wan was sitting in a pavilion more than ten steps away reading.

Xu Yan took a deep breath, swayed towards him with a robe and clothes.

When he arrived at the pavilion, Xu Yan bowed deeply to Zhu Wan and said, "I wish you a visit to Master Futai after I was young."

Seeing Xu Yan coming, Zhu Wan put down the book in her hand and picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Young Master Xu, the county trial is approaching. Why do you come to Hangzhou Prefecture if you are not studying at home?"

"Report to Master Futai, I came to Hangzhou here to save people."

Xu Yan didn't hide it and pointed out his intentions directly.

"oh?"

Zhu Wan was obviously a little surprised, pressed her right hand down and said, "Sit down and say it."

How dare Xu Yan be arrogant in front of the emperor? Although he sat down, his butt was only half of his butt next to the stone bench and his waist was straightened, and his hands were placed between his knees.

Xu Yan had a long time ago, and when he saw Zhu Wan asking questions, he explained the causes and consequences of the matter in detail.

Of course, a little bit of heat and silence.

After hearing this, Zhu Wan couldn't help but frown.

"You mean that the Admiral, the eunuch, was falsely accused your grandfather of embezzling the Ministry of Works to allocate silver?"

“That’s right.”

At this point, Xu Yan has nothing to keep.

"It's true that I saw many machinists around the weaving yamen who were asking for their grandfathers."

Zhu Wan knocked her finger lightly, then stroked her beard and said, "I have known this, so please be careful. If you were wronged by the rent, I will definitely restore your innocence."

Xu Yan was very confident in Zhu Wan's character, and he couldn't help but feel happy when he said this.

"Thank you, Lord Futai!"

The two were chatting themselves when suddenly a man came to report urgently.

"Report to the Governor, something happened in the weaving yamen!"

Zhu Wan was shocked when she heard this: "What happened?"

"When the governor returns, a group of machine craftsmen in front of the weaving yamen gathered to petition, annoyed Mr. Sun. Mr. Sun then ordered to drive him away, but unexpectedly he accidentally killed the man."

"It's outrageous!"

Even though Zhu Wan was extremely well-educated, she was so angry that she slapped the stone table.

It took him a long time to calm down his anger and asked, "What do you say about Qiantang County and Hangzhou Government?"

"The matter involved the weaving yamen, and the two adults were afraid that they would not dare to inquire. The miserable came to the governor's yamen to complain about the injustice."

Zhu Wan was born in a Jinshi. She served as the governor of Jingzhou, the governor of Kaizhou, the governor of Nanjing's Ministry of Justice, the former envoy of Sichuan Army Preparation, the left governor of Guangdong, and the right deputy governor of the capital. She can be said to be the first-class Qingliu.

A person like him looks down on eunuchs in his bones. It would be fine if he was at peace. Just like Eunuch Sun's order to kill the people today, it touched Zhu Wan's bottom line.

"They dare not care, I will take care of it!"
