Chapter 482 gives you two choices
In the days that followed, not only the officials, but even the ordinary people felt the impending storm.
There are fewer people on the streets than before, and everyone stays at home with nothing to do.
The trend of reporting strangers upon sighting has spread from the county town to outside the county town.
What's more, they actually caught a few people who had escaped from the private army camp.
Fu Zhiyi conducted a surprise interrogation overnight to find out the location of the large force that had escaped.
Unfortunately, these people knew nothing when asked. They said that when they were trying to escape, they took the wrong path in the dark cave.
The exit was on the other side of the mountain. After finally climbing out of the mountain, before they even knew where they were, they were surrounded and intercepted by a group of people armed with kitchen knives and shovels. They were knocked unconscious, tied up in a car, and taken to the county government office.
Fu Zhiyi didn't expect this to happen, and for a moment he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
The main force of the people who escaped has not shown up, and Fu Zhiyi has been worried.
There are so many things going on. It’s okay on the South Vietnamese side, as there are two advisors to take care of it.
Moreover, everyone in the officialdom has heard the news that the two major events of suppressing the pirates and discovering illegal mining are definitely related to Fu Zhiyi.
All the officials in Nanyue County are already numb!
No, my goodness! It turns out that you are not only the county magistrate, but also an imperial envoy sent by the emperor, right?
You are so awesome, why don't you be honest with us before you come?
We were absolutely respectful and didn't dare to speak loudly.
You can do this without telling us, okay?
The businessmen in Nanyue County were even more crazy!
Crazy jealous of the Lin, Huang and Yu families.
No, how could such a thick golden thigh be embraced by these three families?
Everyone was beating their chests and stamping their feet at home in frustration.
Everyone's attitude now is one of cooperation.
They were afraid that if they were not careful, Fu Zhiyi would bring his men to kill them.
Therefore, Fu Zhiyi spends most of his time and energy in Fancheng.
Not only do we have to interrogate the person, but we also have to find a way to place the captured private soldier.
If these people are not properly placed, there will be chaos.
The miners in private mines also need to be appeased.
We found out their place of origin and identity, gave them compensation, sent them back to their hometowns, and some were directly sent back to prison. We were really busy.
Even so, I had to travel between Fancheng and Nanyue.
In just a few days, Fu Zhiyi became darker and thinner, with a prominent jaw and clear contours. Combined with his face that looked like it kept people and animals away, he was really scary.
Commander Wei originally wanted to persuade him not to work so hard.
At worst, he could send dozens of brothers to protect Princess Le'an.
Fu Zhiyi flatly refused and made a trip back and forth every two days.
Commander Wei didn't dare to force it. To be honest, it was his fault that he didn't handle the matter well. Such a great contribution would have to be discounted. He felt a little guilty when facing Fu Zhiyi.
He could only smack his lips twice and go back to continue the interrogation in shame.
It's a pity that the results were minimal, because the important tasks were among those who escaped, and the rest were just small fry, and no useful information could be obtained from them.
Commander Wei could only suppress his anger, trying to pry open more mouths, waiting for instructions from the capital, and praying in his heart that those who escaped would come back to seek revenge so that he could catch them all in one fell swoop.
This day was the day Fu Zhiyi had agreed to return to South Vietnam.
Lu Zhenzhen knew that Fu Zhiyi was running back and forth because, firstly, he couldn't let her go, and secondly, he wanted to use herself as bait to see if he could lure those who had escaped back while running back and forth.
This has been going on several times, but there has been no movement.
On this day, Lu Zhenzhen had been feeling uneasy since the evening.
I couldn't sit in the house for a moment, so I got up and walked around in the garden, feeling even more restless.
I wanted to ask the kitchen to make a bowl of ice drink, but Nanny Ye stopped me. She said that her life was coming to an end in the next few days and no ice was allowed. She only brought me a bowl of sour plum soup.
Lu Zhenzhen's mask of pain appeared after drinking the warm sour plum soup.
Nanny Ye also felt that Lu Zhenzhen was particularly irritable today. Thinking that it was probably because of her upcoming bad day, she asked the kitchen to send some sweet soup.
Lu Zhenzhen, who used to like sweets, now feels uncomfortable when seeing sweets and waves her hand to have them taken away.
And asked someone to go to the gate to see if Fu Zhiyi had returned?
It was dark and Fu Zhiyi still hadn't returned.
Not to mention Lu Zhenzhen, even Nanny Ye started to get worried.
I wanted to ask the guard to go out of the city to take a look, maybe we could meet him halfway.
Lu Zhenzhen, on the other hand, calmed down. "No need. Give the order immediately. Close the door tightly. No one is allowed to go out! Call Jingzhe."
Soon Jingzhe, who was left at home by Fu Zhiyi to take care of a bunch of things outside, hurried over.
Lu Zhenzhen didn't waste any words and got straight to the point: "Usually, the master should have been home by this time, but he hasn't shown up yet today. It seems that he was either delayed or something went wrong."
"Go to the county government office now and tell them that it's my order. Have all the guards on duty follow you out of the city to see what's going on."
After a pause, he continued, "Bring Dr. Qi along. If anything goes wrong, maybe Dr. Qi can be of use."
Jingzhe also realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately took the order and left without hesitation.
Nanny Ye waited for Jingzhe to leave before she said worriedly, "Madam, although the lord's side is important, we have to be on guard here at the mansion as well. I'm afraid the troops will be divided into two groups—"
How could Lu Zhenzhen not think of this situation?
In terms of danger, if something really happened to Fu Zhiyi, it would definitely be more dangerous.
Sending more people will provide more protection.
It would be great if Fu Zhiyi was okay.
As for the backyard of the county government office, it is a large courtyard with a high gate, a closed door and high walls. It is not easy for ordinary people to get in.
What's more, after several rounds of checks by the people of Nanyue County, there are currently no strangers or suspicious people in the county.
In other words, if someone really wanted to enter the backyard of the county government to harm her, they would have to pass through the city gate first.
The troops guarding the city gates are also garrisons. Although their number is small, they should be of some use.
With her in charge of the backyard of the county government, even if someone really attacks the backyard, she will be able to tear off a large piece of flesh from the opponent.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhenzhen ordered Ding Xiang to bring a chair to the corridor. After sitting on it, she ordered, "Call everyone here."
Someone immediately went down to pass on the message.
Soon, the guards, maids, servants, grooms, cooks, etc. all arrived.
Lu Zhenzhen then stood up: "Since the master hasn't returned today, there may be disaster in the mansion! I give you two choices, stay and guard this courtyard, or leave and hide——"
