"Your Highness, Commander Zhang brought it."

Commander Zhang has a dark appearance, has been weathered, and has an extremely strong figure.

The calluses on his hands, as well as the long knife he carried around his waist, all indicate that he is a martial artist.

The Han man's name is Zhang Changde, who is the commander of the guards, and controls more than 20 guards in the palace.

After hearing Xiu'er say that Ji Lie came back from the dead, Zhang Changde hurried over.

But when he saw Li Zhuo lying in a pool of blood, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously reached out and touched the long knife on his waist!

"Commander Zhang doesn't have to be nervous, Li Sheren committed a crime, and he wanted to be unfavorable to Lone, so he killed him for self-preservation!"

Ji Lie said slowly.

Zhang Changde couldn't believe his ears.

Ji Lie was crazy by nature, he was bullied by Li Zhuo before, and he didn't even dare to let out a fart, but today he had the courage to kill Li Zhuo?

But looking at Ji Lie, who was calm and resolute, killing Li Zhuo was like killing an ant and didn't care, for some reason, Zhang Changde, who had killed more than 30 thieves, only felt a chill down his spine.

He fixed his mind and said,

"I wonder what His Highness commands?"

"You dispose of Li Zhuo's body, and if outsiders ask, they will say that he died violently."

When Zhang Changde heard this, his face was a little embarrassed.

The killing of the people of the royal palace is not a trivial matter.

He didn't want to be involved.

Ji Lie saw his thoughts and smiled slightly,

"Commander Zhang, you should have offended people, so you were sent to Youwang's Mansion, right?"

Ji Lie had previously heard about Jang Changdeok's experience.

He was originally just a nobody, but he made three achievements and killed more than 80 thieves.

Such a brilliant record is enough for Zhang Changde to serve as a lieutenant colonel.

But he was sent to the bitter cold Youzhou on the border to serve as the commander of the palace with no future.

If he hadn't offended someone, he wouldn't have believed it if he killed Ji Lie.

Listening to Ji Lie's words, Zhang Changde was shocked, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

As Ji Lie said, he really offended his boss and was assigned to Ji Lie's mansion.

But how did Ji Lie know about these things?

"Is Commander Zhang willing to stay in the palace for the rest of his life?"

Ji Lie said lightly.

Whether it is a member of the palace or the commander of the palace, once appointed, unless the prince dies and the palace is revoked, it will not be easily changed.

However, Ji Lie is young, if nothing else, he can live for at least a few decades, and Zhang Changde is estimated to work in the palace until retirement.

And Zhang Changde came from a humble background, and he just wanted to fight for a future, so he would join the army and take the lead many times!

was assigned here, and he was naturally quite unwilling in his heart.

But the boss is extremely powerful, and Zhang Changde can only swallow his anger!

"What does the prince want?"

"What Gu wants is very simple, as long as Commander Zhang is willing to do things for Gu loyally, Gu will definitely ensure that you will soar in the future!"

Ji Lie said word by word.

If it was changed, Zhang Changde would definitely feel that Ji Lie was talking about it.

However, today's Ji Lie is like being reborn and a different person.

not only killed Li Zhuo, the person who bullied him on weekdays, but also contained strong self-confidence in his words!

Zhang Changde's face was uncertain, he thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to gamble!

"From now on, the last general is willing to serve the prince and serve the dogs and horses!"

"Good!"

Ji Lie nodded with satisfaction and commanded,

"It's also troublesome for Commander Zhang, and dispose of Li Zhuo's body first."

Zhang Changde did not hesitate, went outside to call two guards, and carried Li Zhuo's body out.

After they left, Ji Lie breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Changde controlled more than 20 guards in the palace and recruited him, and he could be regarded as having a certain ability to protect himself.

However, at the moment, he only initially fooled Zhang Changde, and if he wanted him and a group of guards to follow him with all his heart, he couldn't just rely on his lip service.

At the very least, we must take out real money to win them over.

Ji Lie had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but his stomach growled.

Only then did he realize that from last night to now, he hadn't eaten a drop of water!

"Xiu'er, I'm a little hungry, bring some food!"

Ji Lie looked at Xiu'er on the side.

"The slave obeys."

Xiu'er got up and walked outside.

Ji Lie originally thought that he was the former crown prince, the prince and king of one side.

Even if there is no full banquet for the Manchu and Han people, at least seven or eight dishes must be arranged.

But to his surprise, when Xiu'er came back, she was just holding a porcelain bowl with a black paste in it.

"This ...... This is Lone's Meal?! ”

Ji Yeol looked at Xiu'er in disbelief.

"Yes, Lord Wang, that's what we usually eat."

Xiu'er replied a little innocently.

Ji Lie frowned, and then remembered that the root of everything still lies in Li Zhuo.

This guy came to deduct money and fill his own pockets, and secondly, he also wanted to let Ji Lie return to the west as soon as possible, so that he could be transferred back to the capital.

Therefore, Ji Lie, who is the prince, actually arranged such a gluttonous meal!

Thinking about this clearly, Ji Lie hated the roots of his teeth a little.

If it weren't for the fact that the corpse had been dragged away by Zhang Changde, he would have been eager to kick it twice.

"Isn't Your Highness hungry, why don't you have to eat?"

Xiu'er said suspiciously.

"Forget it, take it down."

Ji Lie, who had no appetite, waved his hand and motioned for Xiu'er to bring the so-called rice down.

Joke.

Although this thing has no technology, it is also full of hard work.

If you eat too much, you will burp again and travel back to Earth.

At this moment, Ji Lie misses the food on the Blue Star very much.

Even the salty tofu brain that he usually hates to eat the most can be swept away in front of him!

Ji Lie gnawed on the nest head that Xiu'er found in the room, and commanded,

"Xiu'er, take Gu to Li Zhuo's room!"

The money accounts of the palace are all controlled by Li Zhuo.

Ji Lie plans to search Li Zhuo's residence and find out the money he has embezzled.

First, to make their small life better, and secondly, to win them over by rewarding Zhang Changde and other palace guards.

However, when Ji Lie and Xiu'er came to Li Zhuo's residence, rummaged through the cabinets, and searched for it, they only found more than 100 taels of silver.

Other than that, there is nothing else of value.

Looking at the little silver in front of him, Ji Lie was dumbfounded.

He is a dignified prince and king, and there are only more than 100 taels of silver left in the house?

One tael of silver in the world was enough for a family of three for a month.

It's just a hundred taels of silver that looks like a lot, but it's not enough to put it in the huge Youwang Mansion!

You must know that Zhang Changde, the commander of the palace alone, has nearly fifty taels of silver a year.

Not to mention the entire palace eating, drinking, and other guards.

Although the imperial court tried its best to suppress the princes and princes, it was not so picky in terms of eating and drinking.

Ji Lie has the impression that the court gives him at least a few thousand taels of silver every year.

Now it seems that his money has been damn embezzled by Li Zhuo, a bastard!

Ji Lie only felt as if his heart was dripping blood.

At this time, don't talk about kicking Li Zhuo twice, he can't wait to give two more knives to relieve the hatred in his heart!

At this moment, Xiu'er on the side suddenly shouted,

"Lord Wang, come and see!"
