Chapter 1057: Eyes Are Threaded

Three days later, all personnel and supplies in Lulin Camp were transferred.

Nothing was left except an empty camp.

All these 15,000 men also settled in Badong Town and started farming on the spot. Li Xiu was appointed as the commander-in-chief, and he selected two people from the surrendered generals to serve as deputy general and lieutenant general.

All the troops in Fuzhou were under the command of Qu Zhi and Wei Yu.

Yun Ting also had to stay in Badong Town first, wait to reunite with his family, and then rush to Suqu.

The next day, Yun Zheng led his men to leave Badong Town.

After meeting Ye Zi and Shen Luoyan in Jingyang Prefecture, they set off back to Shuobei.

In a few days, they will arrive in Sifang County.

Yun Zheng also has a palace in Sifang County.

They did not stay at the palace when they came to Fuzhou before. This time when they left, Shen Luoyan and Ye Zi both planned to stay at the palace for two or three days, but were stopped by Yun Zheng.

"Are you passing through the house without entering?"

Shen Luoyan teased Yun Zheng in confusion.

Although there are not many people in the Sifang County palace, some servants are still left to manage the palace.

They passed through Sifang County when going to Fuzhou, but none of them visited the palace. It's a bit unreasonable!

They at least want to know what the palace looks like now!

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, then asked, "Have you forgotten Yu Fu?"

Yu Fu?

When Shen Luoyan first heard Yun Zheng mention Yu Fu, she really didn't react.

After thinking about it for a while, he remembered that Yu Fu was the manager of their Sifang County Prince's Mansion.

The main reason was that they had spent too little time in the Prince's Palace in Sifang County, and usually no one mentioned the Prince's Palace in Sifang County. When she suddenly heard the name "Yu Fu", she almost couldn't remember who this person was.

"Why did it suddenly involve Yu Fu?"

Shen Luoyan was even more puzzled, "Even if you doubt Yu Fu's identity, there is no need to not even go to your own palace just because of his unknown identity, right?"

Yun Zheng has always doubted Yu Fu's identity.

Moreover, Yu Fu's identity is indeed suspicious.

But they have so many people with them, so they shouldn’t have anything to worry about, right?

"He wants to keep Yu Fu hanging!"

Miaoyin took over the conversation and explained, "We have had people secretly watching Yu Fu all along, but for more than a year, Yu Fu has not revealed any flaws..."

Therefore, Yun Zheng deliberately did not go to the palace in Sifang County.

If he didn't visit the palace in Sifang County whenever he went in or out of Fuzhou, Yu Fu would probably get restless and contact the people behind him.

After all, Yun Zheng still suspected that Yu Fu had something to do with the mastermind behind the incident.

Otherwise, Yun Zheng would not have kept Yu Fu until now.

The mastermind behind this hasn't made any moves for a long time. There's no movement from the caravan, and the people who infiltrated the Black Crow haven't gotten any more news.

Ever since the Cui Wenjing incident, the mastermind behind the scenes seemed to have completely ceased operations.

But Yun Zheng was still thinking about the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Are you so sure that Yu Fu is related to the mastermind behind this?"

Ye Zi chuckled and said, "Yu Fu has been very conscientious in the past year or so. He reports the expenses and surplus of the Sifang Prince's Mansion to the Shuobei Feng Mansion every quarter..."

Although the accounts within the palace were basically managed by Madam Shen, Ye Zi would occasionally look through the accounts.

She had seen many accounts submitted by the royal palace in Sifang County.

Although they basically didn't care about the royal palace in Sifang County, the palace would still have some surplus every quarter.

Its main source of income was the land that Yun Zheng had previously purchased from the wealthy families in Sifang County.

Although the surplus is not much, it is quite good for the royal palace of Sifang County to have such a surplus without their intervention.

In one respect, Yu Fu is a very competent manager.

"Of course not!"

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "If I'm sure, why would I bother with this?"

"Maybe we are overthinking it?" Shen Luoyan tilted her head and looked at Yun Zheng.

Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "If the mastermind doesn't move, we must seize every clue that may lead to him! We'd rather kill the wrong person than let him go!"

Continuing to send people to keep an eye on Yu Fu, even if they were overthinking it, would only be a waste of manpower.

He has so many people under his command that he can afford to waste just a few of them.

But if they can find the mastermind through Yu Fu, they will make a fortune.

This is equivalent to an investment!

Spend some money everywhere, even if it is all lost in the end, it won't hurt them.

But as long as the investment in one place is effective, they can make a fortune.

"All right!"

After understanding Yun Zheng's thoughts, Shen Luoyan stopped trying to persuade him, "It's a good thing that you're cautious! It's really annoying if we don't find out who is behind this."

This is what Yun Zheng often said: I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it.

People like Yun Li are not scary at all.

What is scary is the evil spirits hiding in the dark, who may jump out at any time.

"How about sending a few people to the palace to take a look?"

At this time, Ye Zi suggested again: "This is your palace after all. You said you passed by it several times and didn't even send anyone to take a look. Isn't that a bit too deliberate?"

Yun Zheng thought for a moment and nodded, "You really reminded me!"

Having said that, Yun Zheng immediately called out Xin Sheng, who was looking after the two children in the carriage.

"Take ten people with you to the palace and go there to reward the people there on behalf of the princess!"

"Reward Yu Fu with fifty taels of silver, and the rest of the servants in the mansion with ten taels of silver each!"

“If the people in the palace ask why the prince and the princess don’t stay in the palace, we can say that we originally planned to stay here for a few days before leaving Fuzhou, but something urgent happened in Shuobei, so we are in a hurry to go back…”

Yun Zheng gave a detailed explanation before taking out the silver note and handing it to Xin Sheng, asking her to go to the bank to exchange it for cash and then take it to the palace as a reward.

Xin Sheng nodded and was about to leave when Ye Zi suddenly spoke.

"and many more!"

Ye Zi called Xin Sheng and ordered, "Tell Manager Yu to take care of the servants in the mansion in addition to doing his own job. If anyone dares to bully others in the name of the prince, the prince will hold him accountable!"

"Yes."

Xin Sheng nodded in agreement, then quickly led his people away.

"You've thought it through very carefully."

Yun Zheng looked at Ye Zi with a smile, and kept praising his good wife in his heart.

Give both grace and power!

What he ignored was thought of by Ye Zi.

Ye Zi smiled and said, "Since we are going to pretend, we must do it more realistically! How can we give rewards without even a verbal warning?"

If they lived here regularly, there would be no need for a deliberate warning.

However, they would only stay in the palace of Sifang County for a few days throughout the year, and basically left the people in the palace to their own devices.

In this situation, if no warning is given, the intention of deliberate indulgence is too obvious.

"Correct!"

Yun Zheng nodded in agreement, and looked at Ye Zi with a tearful look in his eyes...
