After hearing this, He Yujin hesitated a little, and asked worriedly, "Brother Ji, is this useful?" What if that person doesn't care if a butler lives or dies? After all, who would like this kind of thing that ignites the body?"

Their words were heard by the butler, and he hurriedly defended Tu Ren by saying, "I accompanied the master from birth to death, and the master can't ignore me, don't talk nonsense!" When the words fell, he suddenly realized what he was talking about, so he hurriedly stopped his mouth, but he couldn't take back the words he said.

"Alright, now that you've spoken, let's be clear. Since you said that this lord will not give up on you from birth to death, is there a chance that he also instructed you in this matter? Otherwise, you have no grievances with that person, why do you have the intention of killing?" He Yujin seized the opportunity to grab the handle and wanted to trick him into continuing to talk.

But the butler was not a fool, and shook his head and replied, "I don't know anything, don't ask me, I won't tell if you do." I didn't expect him to be really loyal.

Now everything is back to the situation just now, and Yu Jin can't do anything to him, so he can only lean back on the chair helplessly and say to Ji Changye, "Look, I don't want to say anything. What should I do now? If you can't use the punishment yet, you will be said to abuse sinners, which is really difficult to do. Luckily, I don't have to do that on a regular basis, or I'd be crazy."

Ji Changye also spat out because there was no way.

At this moment, Song Qian walked in with hot tea. After putting it down, he said to the two people, "Drink a cup of tea to warm up your body, these days are not used to the water and soil, don't drag down your body." Because they have never lived in such a place, they have been vomiting and diarrhea for the past few days, and they are not used to it at all, and now they are hanging on the little energy they have left to investigate this matter.

It's no wonder that He Yujin can't concentrate and is impatient, it's really because it's uncomfortable.

"Thank you Song Niangzi, Song Niangzi has worked hard." He Yujin picked up the hot tea and deliberately raised it in front of the housekeeper, which really attracted the attention of the other party, but just as He Yujin was about to say something more, the other party did not react and continued to be expressionless. Look at the book

At this time, Song Qian noticed this scene, and she asked beside her? Ji Changye said, "What's the matter?"

Ji Changye told Song Qian the ins and outs of the future.

After hearing this, Song Qian thought for a while, and immediately came to the housekeeper and said, "You have been brought here for so long, but the master in your mouth has not yet appeared, what do you think is the matter? I guess he doesn't know about it yet, right? If you knew, he'd come to your rescue, wouldn't he?"

Although He Yujin and Ji Changye didn't know why Song Qian would say this, they still didn't say anything, after all, now the housekeeper finally reacted, turned to look at Song Qian and replied, "You're right."

"You seem to be a loyal person, so you were sent to kill that man, was it because the lord made you do it? After all, you're so loyal, you won't let him look down on you, right?"

Song Qian then cautiously asked the question with Yu Jin just now, and at this moment, the other two people held their breath, wondering if the housekeeper would not speak next.

Sure enough, the butler fell silent for a moment and did not speak.

Just when Song Qian thought that he had also failed, the housekeeper suddenly muttered to himself, "That person has nothing to do with us, it was you who misunderstood, and the master didn't let me kill him, it was I who brought someone over to prevent danger." That's all I have to say, you better let me go back, so that if the people stay in the government, the reputation of the government will be ruined."

I thought that this could threaten Song Qian and them.

But He Yujin was not afraid at all, and said bluntly: "If you don't want to say anything, then you don't want to leave here. Otherwise, let your old man come, and I will see if he has the stolen goods, and what can he do to take you out."

If it were about identity and power, would they still be afraid that they would not be able to compare to him?

The butler had nothing to say, so he could only continue to be silent.

At this moment, Changfeng suddenly came in and reported, "Lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down and is in the outer courtyard. And it seems that we already know that we are here, so what are we going to do next?

What can I do?"

As soon as these words came out, several people couldn't help but be surprised.

After all, why did Ji Qirui suddenly come here.

If he had already been here, and if he had seen Yan Lai, it would have meant that he should already know that they were here.

So it's not okay to go out right now.

Ji Changye immediately got up and said to Changfeng, "You take good care of him here, no matter what happens, don't let others take him away easily."

After that, he came to the front yard with Song Qian and He Yujin, and really saw Ji Qirui, who had been waiting for a long time, here.

"It's really a surprise to Prince Ben, I didn't expect to meet the Prince Regent and King Jin here, as well as the Princess Regent." Ji Qirui said something in his words.

Ji Changye replied without showing weakness: "Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already back to the imperial capital, why did he suddenly appear here? Is there something going on? Or maybe your Majesty has commanded something."

Looking at Ji Qirui's appearance, Ji Changye probably guessed that he didn't say anything to the emperor, otherwise it would not be their master and servant who came, but the guards in the palace who came to escort them back.

Ji Qirui got up and came to Ji Changye and said, "Your Majesty already knows that the drought here is serious, so you asked Prince Ben to come and help alleviate the disaster. According to the investigation of the prince of this book, there was a theft of silver taels for disaster relief many years ago. And just now, Prince Ben asked County Magistrate Yan, I heard that the regent is also investigating this matter? Did you make any new discoveries, or meet anyone?"

Listening to Ji Qirui's words, Ji Changye knew that someone had told Ji Qirui something, otherwise he wouldn't have known so clearly.

But he didn't have any evidence, and he couldn't say it explicitly, so he could only smile and pretend that he didn't know anything and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this king has only just learned about this matter and has not started the investigation yet."

Ji Qirui showed a look of disbelief, but he didn't say anything, then turned around and came to Yan Lai and said, "County Magistrate Yan, this prince will start investigating this matter, and now you will tell this prince everything you know." Including everything, everyone."

At this time, Song Qian frowned.

After all, I don't know why Ji Qirui suddenly intervened in this matter, and Yan Lai won't help them hide anything, if Ji Qirui gets all the evidence, it is very likely to ruin their plan.

After so many days, they fell short.

But they didn't have any way to stop Ji Qirui.

But Yan Lai didn't say anything, which surprised them a little.

Ji Qirui saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he had to give up.

He turned to Ji Changye and the others, "In that case, this prince will leave first, and the regent will take care."

Then he and Rong left the place.

After discovering that he had left completely, Ji Changye came to Yan Lai and asked, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked you about the clues about this matter just now, why didn't you tell him that there were already clues?"

"Back to the prince, the lower officials don't know anything, so there are no clues to tell His Royal Highness the Prince." Yan Lai replied.

After all, compared with Ji Changye and Ji Qirui, the former really wanted to help the people solve the problem of drought, and under the trade-off, Yan Lai still chose to take refuge in Ji Changye, so he deceived Ji Qirui just now.

Ji Changye didn't doubt Yan Lai's words, and chose to believe him.

At the same time, Ji Qirui got into the carriage and came to Tu Ren's mansion.

Tu Renzheng was waiting for him respectfully in front of the house.

"See His Royal Highness the Prince."

Ji Qirui got out of the carriage and said, "Don't be too public."

"Yes."

Tu Ren looked around cautiously, and then welcomed Ji Qirui and them in.

After sitting on the main seat, Ji Qirui picked up the hot tea on the table, took a sip and said, "Why are you causing such trouble? In this kind of place, you are already a well-known person, and it is easy to solve a person, and you can't restrain yourself knowing that someone is already investigating this matter

A little? Do you let your subordinates kill people with great fanfare, because they are afraid that they will not be able to investigate?"

He hated that iron could not be made of steel.

When Dijing heard these things, Ji Qirui knew that there would be constant troubles, and the most important thing was that Ji Changye and them were involved.

Tu Ren immediately knelt down and begged for mercy and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the little one knows that he is wrong, and it is the little one who is not thoughtful and has caused you trouble. I also hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not blame the small ones, and the small ones are willing to make up for their mistakes. I also hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will give the little one a chance, and the little one will be willing to do anything for His Royal Highness the Prince." Unexpectedly, he actually provoked Ji Qirui over, if something really happened, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around, so Tu Ren hurriedly confessed his guilt, so that Ji Qirui could leave some face.

After hearing his words, Ji Qirui had this intention, so he followed his words and said, "Now there is only one solution, in order to protect yourself, the only way is to kill your subordinate, after all, dead people don't talk nonsense. So that the regent will not ask for anything."

These words were undoubtedly waking up Tu Ren, and sure enough, the other party quickly understood what Ji Qirui meant, but he was a little hesitant: "His Royal Highness the Prince, but he has been with me for so many years. And surely they will not talk nonsense and give me out, or now the regent will come and arrest the little one."

"Now he won't say anything, can you be sure that he won't say anything in the future? If you want to get something out of his mouth, it will not be easy to rely on the means of the regent? Do you want to wait until then? Now is the best opportunity, if you miss it, then you are the only one who regrets it. Everything you have now will disappear, so won't all these years be in vain?"

And it will also affect many people, if you dig deeper into Ji Qirui, you will also be involved, after all, Tu Ren has been able to run rampant here for so many years, and most of the reason is because of him and the Xiao family.

Listening to Ji Qirui's instigation, Tu Ren was really a little shaken.

In the end, after hesitation, he gritted his teeth and agreed: "The little one listens to the teachings of His Royal Highness the Prince, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will give you guidance, what to do next."

"You go find someone you can trust and have good skills. This prince can help him enter the palace where you are locked up, solve him secretly, and come out safe and sound, during which he has nothing to do with you, and he will not find out about you. How's that?" Ji Qirui naturally wouldn't let his subordinates take risks, after all, it was easy to identify.

When the time comes, it will be troublesome.

"Yes, let's do it for the little ones,"
