Chapter 639: Knocking on the door
Walking all the way from the street, the traffic here is no longer the same as before, and the whole street seems to be shrouded in an extremely oppressive atmosphere. Every pedestrian who passes by here unconsciously quickens his pace, not only does no one dare to stop here for a moment, but even to look inside, few people have such courage!
Looking at the two still closed doors at this moment, Li Zijun's whole person was immersed in inexplicable sadness, he sighed softly, walked over slowly and knocked on the door.
"Squeak quack!" With a screeching sound of the door opening, Arthur, the eldest prince's butler, stepped out of the side door.
"Greetings to the Grand Duke!" Arthur walked up to Li Zijun with a little trepidation, bowed down and bowed to him deeply.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Li Zijun stretched out his hand and helped Arthur up.
"I've already gotten the news from the mansion, right? I wonder when we can enter the mansion to set up?" Li Zijun looked at Arthur and said softly.
"Madame wants to meet you alone before you enter the mansion, I don't know you, Grand Duke?" Arthur avoided Li Zijun's gaze and looked at him.
The lady in Arthur's mouth is actually the sister of the original eldest princess. It turned out that when the eldest prince and concubine were alive, she was in charge of the general affairs in the eldest prince's mansion. Later, although Blanche became the eldest princess, she had no interest in the trivial matters of the family, and this situation did not change.
This lady has a very high reputation in the Grand Prince's Mansion, and it is precisely because of her sitting that no one in the Grand Prince's Mansion is empty now!
Li Zijun had heard of this woman for a long time, but he didn't expect that she would be able to restrain people and stabilize the situation. After all, these people in the Great Prince's Mansion are not as foggy as others, and each of them knows very well what is going on!
This moment. She even put on a posture and wanted to see her by herself, which made Li Zijun full of curiosity about this woman.
"I've not been in good health lately. I've just walked too far and I can't walk anymore! Can I take two of them with me to take care of me?"
"In addition, Lord Bach is the representative of His Majesty. I'm afraid it's not reasonable for Madame not to see him, right?"
"This" Li Zijun's request was obviously contrary to his wife's instructions, and Arthur couldn't help but hesitate.
But at this moment, Arthur saw a cold light flashing in Li Zijun's eyes, and he was immediately shocked into a cold sweat, and he also thought clearly about his current situation.
"No problem, no problem!
Hearing Arthur's answer, Li Zijun nodded gloomily, turned around and went back to explain the situation to Bach.
Although Bach was not happy in his heart, since Li Zijun had already decided, he could not say anything more. After a few brief explanations to their subordinates. Li Zijun, Baldwin, 'Monkey' and Bach, led by Arthur, walked into the Grand Prince's Mansion and went straight to the living room.
"Arthur, didn't I tell you that you only saw the Grand Duke alone!" Seeing the four people rushing in, the lady sitting on the throne changed her face and rebuked Arthur loudly.
"This matter has nothing to do with him, it's my request!" Li Zijun said as he gave Bach to his head, and he sat down after him.
"Madame, if there is anything upset, please scold me!"
"How dare I scold you who are in Dongyu at the moment?!" 'Madam' glanced at Li Zijun and sneered.
"I'm with Master Bach this time. The main thing is to be ordered by His Majesty to come to prepare for the funeral of the eldest prince!I don't know what you have to do and order?" Li Zijun didn't seem to hear what the lady said, and asked for her opinion step by step.
"Grand Duke, we are grateful that you can spare our lives, how dare you build anything!"
"If you don't have anything to say. Then we're going to bring people into the house today. ”
"Butler Arthur, when the eldest prince is in the mansion, where does he generally like to work, or where does he stay most often?" Turned his gaze to Arthur.
"This" Arthur didn't dare to answer Li Zijun directly, and secretly looked at his wife.
"When His Highness was in the palace. Either in the study or in my room. But you can't go to either of these places!" Madame answered Li Zijun's question in place of Arthur.
"Then where are you going to let us set up the spiritual seat of the eldest prince?" Inadvertently, Li Zijun had already changed his address to his wife to 'you'.
"Presumptuous!" Madame immediately noticed this change in Li Zijun. She couldn't help but change her face.
Seeing that the 'Madame' was about to go berserk, Padwin suddenly looked at him with a sharp look and released a powerful coercion, instantly suppressing the anger that Madame was about to rush overhead.
"Madam, it's convenient for you to be with others! Please be considerate of our difficulties!" Li Zijun patted Baldwin's arm lightly, signaling him to withdraw the coercion.
"Lord Bach, since Madame has no objection, how about we set up the spiritual seat of the eldest prince in the study?" Li Zijun stepped over the 'Madame' this time and asked Bach directly for advice.
"Please also ask the Grand Duke to take full responsibility!" Bach left his seat very cooperatively and bowed to Li Zijun.
"Okay, then we'll do our best!"
"Madam, don't worry, Master Bach and I will restrain our men as much as possible, and will never disturb the eldest prince's family in the palace!" Li Zijun said, giving the 'monkey' a look.
Understandingly, the 'monkey' grabbed Arthur and walked out of the living room first.
"You!"
"Farewell! Stay!" Li Zijun and Bach completely ignored the woman's existence and walked out on their own.
"She's probably not aware of it, if it weren't for you," Bach suddenly realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly closed his mouth.
"A poor man! Forget it!" Li Zijun did not say anything, and waved his hand to Bach with a wry smile.
"Grand Duke, I didn't expect your temper to be so good!" Bach patted Li Zijun's ass without a trace.
"What if it's not good, I can't be angry with these orphans and widows!"
"Let's not talk about her, the task is important! Let's go to the study first, shall we?" Li Zijun let out a long sigh and walked with Bach towards the eldest prince's study.
The courtyard in which the study is located is extremely chic and cleverly set up, and a meandering and clear artificial river surrounds it. Around the courtyard, with a variety of valuable books, it highlights the freshness and elegance here!
Coming to the only small bridge connecting the study, Li Zijun and Bach stopped.
In a few moments, the 'monkey' arrived with Arthur and the people in charge of breaking the mechanism.
"Butler Arthur, is there a mechanism on this little bridge?"
"This, this" Arthur was dragged here by the 'monkey' without receiving his wife's instructions, and he seemed a little hesitant.
"Don't do this or that! Arthur, don't think about it, if it weren't for His Majesty's instructions, how dare the Grand Duke and I appear here at will?! Don't hesitate any longer, quickly answer the Grand Duke's question! Otherwise, you will mislead others and yourself!" Bach was obviously more familiar with Arthur than Li Zijun, and every word he said almost hit Arthur's 'soft underbelly'.
Arthur sighed deeply, walked to the bridge, and pressed the button to stop the mechanism:
"Now I can cross the bridge! That's all I know, and I don't know anything further in!"
"Thank you!" Li Zijun nodded to Arthur in gratitude, but his feet did not move. The last time he saw the mechanism designed by the eldest prince, Li Zijun didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, he must let those masters of the mechanism make sure that it is okay before he can walk on this small bridge.
These ten organ masters naturally understood what Li Zijun meant, and they didn't talk nonsense, and immediately transferred a death row prisoner from behind them, ready to command him to go to the bridge for a try.
"Wait, you're going to break the mechanism like this?" This way of cracking the mechanism was very different from Li Zijun's imagination, and he couldn't help but step forward to stop him.
"Returning to the Grand Duke: In order to ensure your safety, this is definitely the most appropriate way!" the little leader of the ten people stood up with a smile on his face and answered Li Zijun's question respectfully.
"Wouldn't they be dead and dead?"
"They are death row inmates, and that doesn't really affect them! They are blessed to die for you!"
And if they were lucky enough to survive, they immediately asked for the status of death row inmates. Actually, it's definitely a good thing for them!" the little leader nodded rightly.
After listening to the words of the little leader, Li Zijun really wanted to slap him hard, for his contempt for life! But in the end, Li Zijun still endured it!
"Let those death row inmates come over and stand in front of me!" Li Zijun waved his hand helplessly to the little leader.
The little leader seemed to feel Li Zijun's disgust for him, and he didn't dare to say more, so he turned around and ran out quickly. A few minutes later, the death row inmates bent over and came to Li Zijun.
"Name the names and addresses of your loved ones, and if you die here, they will all receive ten gold coins in compensation!"
These death row inmates were slightly stunned when they heard Li Zijun's words, and then they all showed suspicious expressions.
"Tell me quickly! This is the Archduke of Edleyde, and he has never repented of what he said. You are blessed this time!" Bach saw that everyone was still suspicious, and hurriedly said Li Zijun's identity.
"My family lives in the capital, my mother"
???
Hearing Bach's introduction, everyone was shocked at first, and then hurriedly said their relatives and their addresses.
"Don't worry, come one by one!" Seeing this, the 'monkey' immediately greeted him.
"Are you really the Grand Duke of Edlaide?" and while everyone was busy explaining their lives to the monkey, a middle-aged man who looked thin and withered straightened his waist suddenly.
"Do you think it's necessary for me to lie to you at this time?" Li Zijun looked at the middle-aged man and asked instead of answering. (To be continued......)
