"Imperial Guard Commander Wang Zhong withheld his men? Is this news true?"
Fu Hai looked at the young eunuchs playing together outside the door and replied, "My lord, it is true. Xiao Linzi used to often associate with them."
"Then do you dare to protect the people on this list?" Fang Zhiyi's fingers ran over the names one by one.
Fu Hai looked embarrassed. "I don't know either. This list was compiled by Xiao Linzi, but it's certain that these people are dissatisfied with Wang Zhong and others. However, Wang Zhong is backed by the Sima family, so they dare not talk behind their backs."
Fang Zhiyi's finger paused on a name: "Deputy Governor-General Li, isn't he from the Sima family?"
Fu Hai replied, "No, he has served the late emperor for a long time and was about to be promoted to commander-in-chief, but because...the late emperor suddenly passed away, the matter was put on hold. Then, Wang Zhong was transferred directly from the border troops to take up the position."
"Border troops? No wonder, they even brought the trick of withholding military pay here." Fang Zhiyi tapped his fingers.
"Fu Hai, I want you to take a risk."
That day, Fu Hai hurried out of the bedroom with a bulging baby in his arms. His face showed some worry and excitement.
He followed the emperor's instructions and showed Li a letter written by the emperor himself. He saw Li's face showing shock, anger, hesitation, and finally a hint of greed.
Fu Hai was worried because he didn't know what the emperor wrote in the letter.
Li suddenly smiled and patted Fu Hai's shoulder: "Eunuch Fu really followed the right master."
Fu Hai swallowed his saliva, a little nervous: "My lord, here is the jade pendant given to you by the emperor." He took out the jade pendant from his arms, stood up straight, and respectfully took it with both hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
From that day on, Fang Zhiyi's bedroom was always missing something, which made Fu Hai feel a little distressed. These things were all good things, and the emperor had them taken out and had to give them away or sell them. This was too much...
Fortunately, after Fang Zhiyi cried poor to his father-in-law, Sima Ci generously allocated a lot of silver to his treasury, which stopped him from selling off his property.
Sima Ci did not think much of it. The eunuchs often brought things back to the emperor from outside the palace, and the spies he arranged reported nothing unusual. So he put his mind on other things. After all, he had to deal with state affairs and manage the army fighting outside. He was very busy recently.
He didn't know that, under Fang Zhiyi's instructions, all of his eyeliners had some accidents, either their fingers were broken or their nails "accidentally" fell off, and they all looked a little wilted.
Fu Hai had no idea that there were so many ways to torture people. He was becoming more and more afraid of Fang Zhiyi. Not to mention whether he was the emperor or not, just one of his ideas was enough to make the imperial censors in the court scold him for a long time.
A young eunuch who was originally monitoring Fang Zhiyi "happened" to bump into the emperor's favorite teacup, breaking it. He was then taken away by Xiao Linzi and others. When he came back, his face was as pale as paper. He didn't say anything his companions asked him. A few days later, another teacup was broken, and his companions finally knew what he had suffered.
Manager Fu Hai accepted the offer very well. He found the two men with a few banknotes. Seeing the reluctant eunuch Lin behind Fu Hai, the two men surrendered in minutes.
