I am willing to hand these lists over to you, my Lord, and I will follow your orders. I only ask that you speak a few good words for me before Your Majesty, and spare my life and that of my son."
Feng Xinyi personally took the envelope for Luo Zheng and carefully opened it to check.
After making sure there was nothing unusual, he handed it to Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng read through the book quickly, and when he finished, he looked at Madam Cao with approval: "Madam is truly an extraordinary woman.
I will present the names you have produced to His Majesty truthfully. However, Chen Shao is a traitor after all, so whether or not to spare your lives depends on His Majesty's will."
"I understand." Madam Cao remained calm. "If Your Majesty is unwilling to forgive me, then it is my fate. I cannot blame you, my Lord."
Luo Zheng said, "Your Majesty has always been kind and lenient. You were coerced, not sincerely following the enemy. Your Majesty will certainly not blame you harshly."
Madam Cao smiled faintly: "Your Majesty is indeed kind and magnanimous."
Although she didn't believe that Emperor Taihe was truly merciful, he was the emperor. Could she still refute him?
After exchanging pleasantries, the two of them formally discussed the issue of recruiting the emperor.
The black-faced man wanted to be recruited, but he was not willing to be an ordinary citizen and be slaughtered by others from now on.
Luo Zheng agreed to appoint him as a seventh-rank military general. Although the black-faced man felt that the rank was too low, they had lost all their ships and were now a group of trapped beasts. Once the imperial court surrounded the island, they would be at the mercy of others.
So I had no choice but to accept it.
Luo Zheng saw his reluctance, so he continued, "If you can capture all the remnants of the Chen family on the island, I will credit you with a merit. When the time comes, I will reward you accordingly and will not let you down."
The dark-faced man hesitated. "The Chen family has been operating on Langhuan Island for many years. There are many members of the Chen family on the island, and many of them have received favors from the Chen family. I'm afraid..."
Luo Zheng said coldly: "Since you have accepted the amnesty, you should be loyal to His Majesty and share His Majesty's worries. The Chen family has killed innocent people and committed many massacres in order to plunder property. Their crimes are heinous!
The daughter of the Chen family is even more treasonous, harming the royal heir! You are a smart person, how could you be buried with such a traitorous minister of the Chen family? "
The dark-faced man's expression changed, and he quickly bowed and said, "Your Excellency is right. I will go back and capture the remnants of the Chen family!"
Luo Zheng looked at Madam Cao: "Madam, do you want to go back with us?"
Madam Cao said calmly, "I am just a woman. I can't help with this matter, so I won't go."
There will inevitably be a fight on the island, so why should she go and watch?
Luo Zheng then ordered his men to escort the black-faced man and others off the ship.
There are actually not many people on the island who truly have Chen family blood.
So after the black-faced man returned, it didn't take him too long to capture all the members of the Chen family.
Except for a few of the Chen family members who resisted fiercely and were sent to reincarnate, the rest did not dare to resist at all and almost surrendered obediently.
Then everyone was tied up like dumplings and taken onto a big ship.
Luo Zheng just glanced at these people indifferently and didn't take them to heart.
His people will investigate clearly to find out whether there are any remnants of the Chen family hiding, so he doesn't need to worry too much about it.
Compared to these Chen family members, he cared more about the gold mines on the island.
So after accepting the amnesty, he moved all the islanders back to the land as quickly as possible, and then sent people to look for gold mines.
After digging more than four meters deep, his men indeed found traces of gold mines.
After Luo Zheng received the news, he immediately reported the matter to Emperor Taihe and proposed that the remnants of the Chen family should mine to atone for their sins.
In addition, he also ordered the Chen Shou brothers and several key figures of the Chen family to be sent to the capital to be dealt with by Emperor Taihe.
Before these people left, Luo Zheng specially met with the Chen Shou brothers.
When Luo Zheng saw the brothers Chen Shou and Chen Shao, they both looked pale and looked like they were terminally ill and barely alive.
He looked down at the two of them and couldn't help but laugh: "I have good news for you. A gold mine has been discovered on Langhuan Island. You Chen family members really know how to find a place.
