Chu Huan laughed loudly. He took the evidence from Kuai Yue's hand and waved it in the air." Please tell me, can this protect the people?"”
With that, he threw it into Cai Mao's arms.
The high-ranking officers Cai Zhong, Cai He, and Huang Zu, who were sitting in the front row, immediately squeezed around Cai Mao to see what it was.
Just as they read the beginning, everyone's faces turned pale and their heads broke out in cold sweat. Huang Zu said dryly," Sir, what does this mean?”
"Lord Huang, you have been in the army for quite some time. I wonder what crime you should be convicted of for embezzling military funds?”
Huang Zu's expression was uncertain. He did not answer and asked instead," Sir, can you be lenient?”
Chu Huan looked at him coldly and did not answer.
"Milord, the Jing state army only knows this Huang and not Milord. Milord, you must consider this carefully.”
"Hehe, there's no need for General Huang to worry. I wonder how the soldiers will feel if they know that General Huang has been embezzling military pay for many years?”
"Little Chu Huan, since you want us brothers to die, we will fight you to the death. Brothers, attack! If we don't kill him today, we will all die!”
"Men, take them all down!" Chu Huan sneered.”
Dian Wei immediately rushed into the meeting hall with his bodyguards.
The officers still wanted to resist, but their limbs were weak and they were caught in one fell swoop.
After all the officers were taken away, Chu Huan looked at Kuai Yue.
“........”
Kuai Yue was confused.
"Didn't you nod just now? Why is my food drugged?”
" My lord, please forgive me. My lord has misunderstood my meaning. I nodded to mean that the food and wine had been drugged and everything had been arranged properly. Who would have thought that my lord would actually take it too? I thought that my lord was afraid that the officers would suspect him, so..."
.....
In the following days, Kuai Yue interrogated him day and night.
During this time, Chu Huan picked out a person from the crowd, his name was Su Fei.
This man didn't have much talent, so the only thing he could use was to find Gan Ning.
"Lord, please let me go. I won't do it again. I was forced to do it. If I don't do it, the Yellow Ancestor and the others won't let me go.”
"It's not impossible to let you go, but you have to help me do something.”
"Please speak, my lord. This lowly one will definitely sacrifice his brain and liver to the heavens.”This Su Fei changed his attitude too quickly. The rain immediately cleared up when he heard that he could live.
"You have a friend named Gan Ning, right?”
"That's right. I wonder how Milord knows about him?”
"Don't worry about that. Where is he now?”
"He, um…was a water bandit at Dongting Lake.”
"Write a letter and let him come to Xiangyang. The day he arrives will be the day you get out of prison.”
Who would have thought that Su Fei would reply with a face full of grief and indignation," Sir, although I'm greedy and afraid of death, I will never betray my friends. You'd better kill me!"”
This surprised Chu Huan. He didn't expect that his good friend would be so generous.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to Gan Ning. I'm just trying to recruit him. Since you're so loyal to him as a friend, you don't want to see him become a water bandit for the rest of his life, right?”
"Is your words true?" Su Fei's eyes immediately lit up.
"Really?"
Su Fei immediately wrote in person.
Then, he went to the meeting hall and began to give the final instructions.
"Zirou, you'll be responsible for cleaning up the mess. We'll punish the officers according to their crimes. The main culprits, such as Huang Zu, Cai Mao, Cai Zhong, and Cai He, were beheaded and their families were confiscated. Their entire families were enslaved. Forget about those over sixty years old. Leave them some money to settle down.”
"Yes!"
"Wen Pin, Dian Wei, take my token to control the Jingzhou infantry and coordinate with Zirou. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy.”
"Yes!"
"Huang Zhong, Wang Wei, take my token to control the navy. Similarly, kill anyone who disobeys.”
"Yes!"
....
Ten days later, a good thing happened. A servant came to report that a young man was waiting in the living room. He called himself Gan Ning and Gan Xingba.
Chu Huan was very happy. This was the future navy general.
After all, Huang Zhong's forte was the army, and the navy was commanded by the pirate Gan Ning.
Gan Ning was in the living room worrying about Su Fei's fate. When he saw Chu Huan, he immediately stood up and said,"Sir, when will you release Su Fei?”
"It's very simple to let him go. You can take up a post in my army and treat it as buying his life. However, the price is a lifetime.”
Gan Ning was a righteous man indeed. He said without hesitation,"Lord is merciful, this lowly one is willing."
"Alright, take my letter and report to General Huang Zhong in the navy. Start from a small school. After all, you're still young and don't have a good background.”
Before the Dragon Boat Festival, they had finally finished the work of seizing and arresting people. The soldiers brought a large number of gold, silver, jewelry, and prisoners back to Xiangyang.
Due to the effective propaganda work, the soldiers who returned were received like heroes by the people. Each of them held their heads high and puffed out their chests.
Moreover, the salary had increased quite a bit. Everyone felt that following the Provincial Governor would be a promising future!
As for Chu Huan, his eyes lit up when he saw the mountain of gold, silver, and jewelry. The plan in his heart could finally be implemented.
