Chapter 479 All Caught
Chapter 479 All Caught
I can only pray in my heart that it’s just a water leak, not a camp explosion.
I didn't dare to go to sleep and stood upright in the yard for half the night.
Fortunately, after the county lieutenant calmed down a little, he sent several trusted men secretly out of the city to gather information.
The two of them stood there, watching the half red sky slowly dim, and became more and more worried.
At this moment, the sky was already slightly bright. The county magistrate and the county lieutenant walked around the yard a few times and passed down the order that the city gate should not be opened for the time being.
At the same time, he was walking around in circles in the yard, waiting for news.
As for Fu Zhiyi, when he brought his men to Daling Village, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Because the iron mine is not high, and probably because the miners are too tired during the day, apart from a few scattered lights outside, the entire mine is like a silent giant beast in the night, falling into a deep sleep.
The place where people live is very close to the mine. Under the moonlight, you can see some randomly built wooden or straw huts.
The houses on the outskirts are more neatly arranged.
There are big rocks scattered around the residence, and there are no patrols.
There was only a simple watchtower built outside the residential area, and there were a few people hanging around below.
Maybe because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival today, these people drank a lot of wine. Except for a few people who were still holding on and drinking, the others were already drunk and lying unconscious.
Fu Zhiyi brought his men and observed for half a day, but found that no one came out.
Then he waved his hand.
The people behind him quietly and quickly dispersed into the shadows.
Soon, those who were drinking or lying on the ground were all hit from behind and knocked unconscious. Then they were tied together like dumplings.
After dealing with the people standing guard outside, the group walked inside.
Because the moonlight was bright and clear, everyone didn't take any detours and headed straight for the neater houses on the outermost edge...
Lu Zhenzhen felt that she slept well that night. When she got up in the morning, she asked someone to go to the county government office in front to report it.
He also reminded the two masters, saying that he would trouble them in the next few days.
The two lawyers repeatedly said that helping the adults with their worries and solving their problems was their job, so how could it be troublesome?
After pacifying the people in the county government, the two legal advisors handled the current matters, so Lu Zhenzhen didn't have to worry about it.
With Nanny Ye in charge in the backyard, Lu Zhenzhen felt relieved.
All Lu Zhenzhen needs to do every day is the same as usual, as if Fu Zhiyi is really just drunk and feeling unwell, and is recuperating at home.
Although the subordinates were grumbling in their hearts, seeing Lu Zhenzhen so calm, they didn't think too much about it.
But Lu Zhenzhen herself knew that only when everyone had left at night and she was alone could she reveal her worries and anxieties.
The offerings offered to the gods and Buddhas in the sky have changed from the fat on her belly, the sexual abilities of the scumbag in the Ningping Marquis's mansion, to the emperor's offspring.
In Lu Zhenzhen's words, this whole thing was caused by the emperor only caring about giving birth and not raising children.
It can be seen that having many sons is not necessarily a good thing if you do not educate them well.
Moreover, the emperor already has eight sons. Could it be that he wants to follow the example of Kangxi and have nine sons compete for the throne in his old age?
Eight are good enough. Just choose one and cultivate it carefully.
Don’t bother raising insects. If you continue to do so, what will you do if something goes wrong?
It is not known whether the emperor sneezed while praying to God, but God probably accepted the sacrifice.
Within two days, Fu Zhiyi sent someone back with the news that the matter had been resolved smoothly and he would be back the next day.
Lu Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, the gods and Buddhas were very picky. They looked down on the fat on her belly and thought only the emperor's offspring were qualified?
I just don't know if the scumbag man from Ningping Marquis's Mansion still has that ability?
Expressed curiosity!
Before Fu Zhiyi even got home, the entire South Vietnamese officialdom was shaken.
It is said that the county magistrate and county lieutenant of the neighboring Fancheng were all arrested.
I heard that the crime was colluding with pirates and oppressing the people.
Moreover, I heard that the local garrison wiped out a pirate den and captured hundreds of pirates.
Of course, this is news that even outsiders know, and people within the officialdom know even more.
It is said that the entire county government office in the neighboring Fancheng was sealed off.
It is said that the whole group colluded with each other, not only colluding with the pirates, but also allowing the pirates to massacre a village.
The most terrible thing is that they actually mined iron and silver privately with those pirates.
When the South Vietnamese officials heard this, they were terrified.
I heard that the people who arrested the Fancheng County Magistrate and his men were from the capital.
No, when did the people from the capital come? How come they didn't know anything about it?
These were all officials, and none of them had clean records. For a moment, everyone was very nervous, fearing that they would be the next to be arrested.
The only hope for the officials in Nanyue now is the newly appointed official Fu Zhiyi. He comes from the capital. Does he know those people appointed from the capital?
Could Fu Zhiyi come forward and help them out?
They all expressed their desire to meet Fu Zhiyi.
The two masters vaguely knew that Fu Zhiyi must have gone out to do some business, and as soon as Fu Zhiyi left, such a big thing happened. They guessed that this matter was probably related to their master.
At first, he vaguely helped Fu Zhiyi to cover and stop him.
Now that he couldn't stop her, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask to see Lu Zhenzhen.
After explaining their difficulties, Lu Zhenzhen paused for a moment before saying readily, "Thank you both for your hard work. This is simple. Go back and tell the others that Master Fu is already trying to find a way to meet with the people from the capital to find out what's going on."
"Tell them not to worry. As long as they haven't done anything excessive, they'll be fine! Just be patient and wait for news from Master Fu."
With these words, the two advisors were finally able to report to other people in the South Vietnamese officialdom.
However, Lu Zhenzhen also instructed the two advisors to strengthen security patrols in the city in the next two days and not to let any strangers go.
In particular, it is necessary to explain clearly to the people in the city that if they see a stranger's face, they can report it directly to the county government. Once verified, they will receive a reward of one or two taels of silver for each person reported.
It’s no wonder Lu Zhenzhen is cautious. What if there are fish that slip through the net, or people with ulterior motives who are causing trouble in South Vietnam at this time?
The foundation that the couple had worked so hard to build must not be destroyed.
The two lawyers were sincerely convinced and could not help but envy Fu Zhiyi for marrying such a virtuous wife.
After hearing the words of the two advisors, the officials in the South Vietnamese government felt relieved.
I also heard that what the two advisors were talking about were the arrangements made by the adults before they left. They were afraid that the remnants of the pirates would escape to South Vietnam and accidentally injure the civilians, or that the remnants of the pirates would take the opportunity to retaliate and injure the officials.
Everyone was in high spirits and not only sent more patrols.
They also sent people to the streets to beat drums and gongs to spread the word everywhere, making sure that everyone could hear it.
