Chapter 217: The Death of the Butler

Mu Li always felt that this jade was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while. "Show me the jade." Mu Li looked at it carefully a few times, but she still couldn't see the reason, but she was sure that she had seen this jade before.

"Say, "From whom?" The things in the palace can also come out and turn upside down, and it seems that they have been idle for a long time. "There are regulations in the imperial court that it is strictly forbidden to resell things in the palace, and violators will be punished.

The housekeeper didn't expect this piece of jade to have such a big background, and now I'm afraid that he will have to add another crime. "A person I met recently named Ah He, I usually call him Lao He."

"Where is this person?" Liuyun asked.

The housekeeper only knew that he was usually contacted by Lao He. "I only know that he usually likes to drink a little wine, and it is the restaurant where I was caught by you that day, but his whereabouts are uncertain."

It's unlucky enough, and it's just the matter of the front and back feet, so that Lao He escaped. When the housekeeper thinks about it now, he feels a little remorseful, and he has left the small door when he knows it.

"Liuyun, you go check this one called Lao He." Daring to sell palace items in the capital, it can be seen that this person's courage is not small, Chu Lingyi wants to see what this person looks like.

"Yes, lord."

"This king wants you to call this king not to talk about it, let's say, what are the hole cards in your hand that can allow me to bypass you." Chu Lingyi began to be a little interested in this small role.

The housekeeper swallowed his saliva and said cautiously, "Can you let me drink saliva first?" ”

The warden brought a large bowl of water to the housekeeper, who had not been able to drink it properly for the past few days. I drank a bowl of water without rumbling, and I didn't forget to lick the water off the corner of my mouth. "Thank you, Lord Wang."

"The water has also been drunk, can I read now, this king still has a bunch of things to deal with, but I don't have time to chat here with you, if you dare to have half a lie, believe it or not, this king will immediately take your dog's life." Chu Lingyi's eyes revealed a murderous aura, which really scared the housekeeper.

"Don't dare. I still have a few boxes of jewels here, and if the prince is willing to let me go, I am willing to dedicate him to the prince. "Look at the housekeeper's unproductive appearance, he just finished bribing the warden, and now he wants to bribe Chu Lingyi to save his life.

It is also a loss for the housekeeper to figure out that if Chu Lingyi really lacks this bit of silver, he would have already accepted Li Wu's bribes when he was in Gu Village, where would he wait for the housekeeper. "Hmph, do you think this king will be rare at this point?"

"Lord Wang, it's all gold, it's not ordinary silver, it's gold." The housekeeper repeated the word gold over and over again, and the housekeeper couldn't use the money, but he wanted to use it in exchange for his own cheap life, and then hide far away.

"Gold?" Chu Lingyi was not moved, but felt sorry for the imperial court, so much gold was squeezed from the people, which really hurt the people of Gu Village.

But fortunately, now Gucun has restored its original appearance, and the people can rely on the crops in the fields to have food and clothing. But it's not enough to have enough food and clothing, you have to get rich.

If these boxes of gold are handed over to the imperial court and used to help poor villages, it is indeed a good thing. "Say, where are these chests of gold now, and how can this king know whether what you say is true or not?"

The housekeeper escaped from Chu Lingyi's hands several times, Chu Lingyi was somewhat skeptical of his words, and he couldn't keep up the nonsense he deliberately made up in order to escape.

"Lord, you treat me as a fool, if I tell you the whereabouts of the gold, will I still be alive?"

The housekeeper is very shrewd, and he is really a person who mingles with Li Wu and the mountain bandits, but Chu Lingyi is not a fool, how could he believe the housekeeper's words.

"Then do you think this king will want your life now?" Chu Lingyi bent down and whispered in the butler's ear, and then immediately showed a relaxed appearance.

The housekeeper's expression changed greatly when he was frightened by Chu Lingyi, he knew Chu Lingyi's methods, it seemed that whether he said the whereabouts of the gold or not, he would not end well.

"Lord Wang, I know that you are trying to threaten me, since this is the case, then I will go to hell with these boxes of gold." Let's say, the housekeeper stood up and wanted to die with Mu Li.

"Stop him for the king." Liuyun stabbed the butler in the chest with a sword, wanting to hurt the princess, and he didn't look at how many catties and taels he had.

Mu Li subconsciously took a few steps back, almost not tripping.

Chu Lingyi immediately protected Mu Li, but fortunately, Liuyun quickly stopped the housekeeper, and he really didn't know what would happen to Mu Li. "Well, are you alright?"

Mu Li was just shocked, but nothing else.

"Lord Wang, what should you do with this person?" The housekeeper stabbed Liuyun, and I am afraid that his life will be short.

Chu Lingyi waved his hand and said, "Deal with it, don't let this king see him." "Chu Lingyi is extremely angry, he actually dares to be unfavorable to his own princess, and it is useless to keep such a person.

Originally, Chu Lingyi also wanted to ask about the whereabouts of the gold, and maybe he could save his dog life for a few days. Since you want to see Hades so much, let him go. As for the gold, Chu Lingyi has a way, and he will definitely be able to find it.

Chu Lingyi helped Mu Li out of the cell, "This kind of villain has a vicious mind, fortunately you are fine, if something goes wrong, what do you let this king do?" ”

"I'm fine, really, look." Mu Li spun around a few times in front of Chu Lingyi.

"Okay, okay, stop, this king believes in you." Mu Li, this living baby, is really invincible, and Chu Lingyi has no way to take her.

It is not a pity that the butler died, but it is a pity that the chests of gold that he said were all collected from the people, and he had to return them to the people.

That Lao He didn't know that the housekeeper was dead, and he was still planning his fortune plan. He needs to make a fortune with the butler, and then leave the capital forever and go to a place where no one knows him.

It's a pity that he made a mistake in this wishful thinking, Chu Lingyi had already sent people to start squatting around to guard Lao He, and once he found out, he would immediately arrest him. It is said that this person is also cunning, and he has not been seen for several days, and Liuyun and the others are almost impatient.

No, he's coming.

Lao He couldn't find the housekeeper for a few days, so he came to the restaurant where he often came to ask the shopkeeper if he had seen the housekeeper, he didn't want such a big rich man to escape from his hands.

"Ouch, this is not Lao He, how did I remember it today. Quick, sit down. The shopkeeper wiped the table with a rag.

"It's still the same. By the way, have any of the people who came with me a few days ago come again? ”

The shopkeeper shook his head, "I don't remember this, I don't have any impression, I don't seem to have seen it." So what, you wait, the dish will come back in a while. ”

Lao Hemi took a few sips of tea and thought about where the housekeeper went, could it be that he realized his deception and ran away. Lao He pressed the teacup on the table, his face changed greatly, and he got up and left.

"Are you Lao He?"

Lao He was stunned, he was completely unfamiliar with Liuyun. "Who are you, how do you know my name?" Lao He was a little puzzled.
