My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

Chapter 498: Pulling out the carrot also brings out the mud

Lu Zhenzhen motioned for Nanny Ye to step forward and inquire about the condition of the servant who was injured that day.

In the past ten days, because of Fu Zhiyi's instructions, no outside affairs could come to her, for fear that she would be upset.

Although Lu Zhenzhen knew that Fu Zhiyi would definitely make arrangements, she still had to be concerned about it.

After hearing what Nanny Ye said, Lu Zhenzhen felt that Fu Zhiyi was indeed reliable.

All of them were fulfilled according to the conditions and promises Lu Zhenzhen made that day.

The injured were given different amounts of reward according to the severity of their injuries.

Five people died, and these five people not only gave pension money, but also promised to pay monthly allowance according to the living conditions of those people, until the elderly in the family passed away and the children had a job.

The families of those five families naturally chanted Buddha's name constantly and expressed their gratitude.

Lu Zhenzhen felt relieved.

When Fu Zhiyi returned to the house at night, he remembered to ask how the matters concerning the rebels and the silver mine were being handled.

Fu Zhiyi frowned. The man was caught and the silver mine was found.

It’s a pity that the last and most crucial step is missing.

Found evidence that these private soldiers were raised by the third prince.

However, he and Commander Wei interrogated several leaders, but none of them admitted that they were private soldiers raised by the third prince.

Now I'm stuck here.

If no evidence can be found, how can the Third Prince and Princess Deqing be brought down?

Commander Wei was already starting to get anxious. After all, he had received an order from the capital, asking them to find solid and unquestionable evidence.

They were also informed that the officials who would replace Fancheng, the officials who would manage the silver mines, and the officials who would take the lead in investigating the need to set up a Maritime Customs Office were already on the way.

Counting the days, there is about half a month left, and we should reach South Vietnam.

There is not much time left for them.

Seeing Fu Zhiyi not in the least bit anxious, Lu Zhenzhen couldn't help but ask, "Do you already have a plan in mind?"

Fu Zhiyi touched his nose and looked at Lu Zhenzhen with eyes filled with a little bit of pride and surprise: "As expected, Zhenzhen knows me best."

"The deputy commander of the guards had a spy among his men this time, causing the encirclement and suppression operation to fail and leading to your injury. Now he's determined to pry these people's mouths open to atone for his mistake."

"If I say too much and do too much, I'm afraid that Commander Wei will not only not appreciate it, but will also think too much."

"It's better to give him a push and wait until he's really desperate and comes to me for help. Otherwise, it's too proactive and he might even suspect I'm trying to steal his credit!"

Seeing that Fu Zhiyi was so confident, Lu Zhenzhen didn't ask any more questions.

Sure enough, Deputy Commander Wei came to the door in person within three days.

He only talked about feelings with Fu Zhiyi, and finally asked Fu Zhiyi if he could think of a way to get the confession.

Fu Zhiyi pretended to refuse several times, but was not rejected.

In the end, I could only sigh and reluctantly agree.

Fu Zhiyi's methods were very effective. Soon, after five days, he confessed everything that should and should not be confessed.

When you pull out the radish, you also pull out the mud.

Ren Yuhai, the commander-in-chief of the local garrison, was also identified.

Ren Yuhai initially refused to admit it and wanted to incite his garrison troops to bomb the camp, but he was surrounded by the imperial guards led by Commander Wei who was well prepared.

After revealing his identity, the morale of the local garrison was broken.

As a result, when he was exposed at the critical moment, he took out the token bestowed by the emperor.

Suddenly, everyone decisively drew a line between themselves and Ren Yuhai.

However, several of Ren Yuhai's loyal and trusted subordinates stood up.

It’s a pity that compared with most officers and soldiers, they were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, completely useless, and were quickly defeated.

Ren Yuhai was arrested, and Fu Zhiyi asked the local garrison to expose the evidence of Ren Yuhai's crimes and the strange things that happened in his daily life.

If it is true, you will be given lenient treatment.

Now, not to mention those subordinates who had nothing to do with Ren Yuhai, all came running to complain.

Ren Yuhai was charged with embezzling military funds, excluding dissidents, oppressing the people, and colluding with local officials.

In the end, when there was really nothing more to expose, he cursed Ren Yuhai as a beast, saying that he secretly kept several petty officials in the army, which was not decent; he forcibly took women as concubines, and he allowed his son to hurt people. All these were exposed.

Following these revelations, they were able to sort out a clue and catch the middleman who was in contact between Ren Yuhai and the third prince of the capital.

This completes the chain of evidence and closes the loop.

Ren Yuhai saw that he was powerless to save the situation, so he didn't resist and confessed readily.

He was originally a subordinate of Princess Deqing's husband, and was used to flattering Princess Deqing and her husband.

This is the opportunity to express it externally.

His wife and children were in the capital, and Princess Deqing helped take care of them.

He took refuge with the Third Prince and worked for him, all thanks to Princess Deqing who acted as a middleman.

At the beginning, it was just a head tax collected from merchant ships coming from Southeast Asia and the West.

This is a considerable amount of money, and a steady stream of money flowed from Nanyue into the hands of the third prince in the capital.

Gradually, this became the main source of money for the Third Prince.

And because he hooked up with the Grand Princess Deqing and the Third Prince, he firmly sat on the position of general. Except that he was far away from the capital, he was like a local emperor in South Vietnam.

When ships from Southeast Asia and the West docked there and wanted to sell things to the merchants, they had to pay him tribute.

That's a considerable income.

In order to receive goods from Southeast Asia and the West, local merchants also had to pay him tribute.

You get two prices for the same thing.

He gave one to the third prince and swallowed the other himself.

Life is so wonderful.

He took several concubines in the local area and had several sons.

He no longer wanted to go back to the capital and only wanted to be a local emperor in South Vietnam for the rest of his life.

As the relationship between the two sides became closer and closer, his daughter was sent to the Third Prince's mansion as a concubine, which was considered a surrender to the Third Prince.

After his daughter became the concubine of the Third Prince, the Third Prince soon conveyed a new order, asking him to help train a group of private soldiers.

When Ren Yuhai heard that this was a matter of life and death, he knew that he could not get off since he was already on the pirate ship.

You can only grit your teeth and go all the way.

Ren Yuhai had thought that this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly and so quickly.

After explaining the whole cause and effect, he also copied several letters between Ren Yuhai, the Third Prince, and Princess Deqing from the secret room in Ren Yuhai's home in Nanyue.

There is also a roster of private soldiers and some account books.

The evidence is conclusive. Once people from the capital arrive, Commander Wei can escort them north back to the capital.

For this, Commander Wei was extremely grateful. With this achievement, his promotion to commander after returning was just around the corner.

By the time the people from the capital arrived in Nanyue.

Commander Wei missed her so much that his eyes turned green with longing.
