Chapter 254: Confusing

"Don't worry, don't worry, how about listening to my brother?" said the fifth prince Dennis as he looked at the two of them and smiled.

In this house, although Li Zijun is the person in charge of the case, when it comes to actual status, the fifth prince has to be the highest! Since he has already spoken, Li Zijun and Timothy can't say anything more, and they all nodded in unison.

"The idea of the ninth brother is to 'seize the opportunity, be quick and impulsive, and strive to capture this gang of thieves in one fell swoop'!"

"And Ed, your concern is 'If this is the other party's ploy, they may take advantage of our troop mobilization and sneak out of Filano City'!"

"Am I right?" Seeing that both of them nodded to themselves, the fifth prince continued.

"Then why don't we report this matter to our father, Emperor Bixia, and let him send troops to encircle and suppress it?" In this way, the focus of your argument will not exist!" said the fifth prince with his hands outstretched.

On the surface, the statement of the fifth prince is impartial to both sides, but in fact, he is tantamount to approving Li Zijun's judgment. His so-called method is just a continuation of Li Zijun's train of thought!

Timothy was not a fool, and he immediately realized that the fifth prince had sided with Li Zijun. But he also understood that the fifth prince was also showing his attitude by saying this, and in such a situation, if he continued to insist, he would only bring humiliation upon himself. Although he secretly hated it in his heart, he didn't show anything in person:

"Fifth brother, you have said so, I have no objection!" Timoxiello said with some anger.

"What do you think, Ed?"

"It's all up to the orders of the fifth prince!" The ninth prince had nothing to say, and Li Zijun naturally would not object.

"Well, so as not to miss the opportunity. Ninth brother, Ed, you and I will go to the palace to meet my father now. Ask him to send troops to blockade Mills Lane. ”

"Fifth brother, I'd better stay. This critical moment. I can also use the time when you enter the palace to mobilize all the liliang in my mansion so that I can deal with all kinds of emergencies at any time!"

"That's fine!, but Ninth Brother, you must wait for us to come back before acting, don't act without permission!" the fifth prince knew his younger brother very well, and reminded him bitterly.

"Fifth brother, don't worry! Before my father gives an order, I will never use a single soldier!"

looked at the insincere look of the ninth prince. Li Zijun couldn't help but sigh in his heart: No wonder the Ninth Prince has been cruising outside of Dongyu's heir candidates, his impulsive and irritable personality is really difficult to take on such a big responsibility as Dongyu!

After making a simple arrangement, the fifth prince and Li Zijun each led a war horse and walked out of the Duke's Palace.

"Brother, you're too careful, aren't you!, why do you have to take him with you when you enter the palace?" the fifth prince pointed to Rijiefu behind Li Zijun and said with a smile.

"If he dies in the battle in a while, won't I even have a favorable witness by my side?! Little brother, I'm afraid I can't change this cowardly problem!" Li Zijun shook his head and said.

"In the past, I thought it was a rumor, but now it seems that you are several times more cautious than the legend!"

"That's what you decide. When we leave, Lao Jiu will definitely do it?" After the two of them left the range of the Duke's Palace, the fifth prince looked around and asked in a whisper in Li Zijun's ear.

"The Ninth Prince has been preparing for so long, and he is worried that he will not move at this time. I won't have a chance like this again!"

"You mean 'Blood Jade Ruyi'?" said the fifth prince's face in shock.

"He doesn't have such strength, nor does he have such ability, let alone such courage! I judged that he should have received some rumors before I returned to Beijing, so as to guess that 'Blood Jade Ruyi' was in Mills Lane. In order to make some trouble for me, and to add some political capital to himself, he has set up today's bureau!"

"You've guessed everything. weishenme still agrees to my suggestion and follows me into the palace to see my father?" the fifth prince turned his head to look at Li Zijun and asked very puzzled.

"Because I don't believe that 'Blood Jade Ruyi' will be in Mills Lane!"

"Our opponents can be in plain sight. Place a glittering item, under the tight protection of a dozen Ouchi guards. They were taken away silently, and there was no movement for months! How could they have slipped through the few days since I entered Beijing?"

"Don't tell me, 'They're doing this to help me!'

"If they really sincerely help me, they should have left Filano City at this moment, there is no need to continue to stay here and wait for the matter to be revealed!" Li Zijun shook his head disdainfully when he saw the meaningful smile of the fifth prince and said.

"According to you, the gang that stole the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' hasn't left yet?"

"They haven't seen anyone unlucky, how can they leave willingly? Believe me, that's their real purpose!"

"The other party's target is Timothy?"

"Maybe there is me, in a month, if I can't find the 'Blood Jade Ruyi', I'm afraid it will be inevitable to lose my position!" Although Li Zijun said this, he suspected that the other party's ultimate target was the eldest prince Waters. It's just that Waters is cunning and uses the Dark Moon God Cult to skillfully push the Nine Princes to the front to prevent disasters!

Li Zijun originally suspected that he had touched the truth of the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' case, but now it seems that the situation is much more complicated than he had expected, and the case has become more and more confusing.

Not long after the fifth prince and Li Zijun left, the ninth prince called the 'monkey' in front of him.

"Where is the righteous man who came to deliver the letter, and how is he doing?"

"Back to the prince, the messenger is resting not far from this living room. After treatment, his condition has stabilized, but he is still in a coma, but the doctor in the palace said, 'It won't be long before he can wake up!'" Li Zijun had already explained to the 'monkey' before leaving the Duke's Palace, and he respectfully returned to the Tao in the face of the ninth prince's inquiry.

"That's good, we have to save such a righteous man even at all costs!" said the Ninth Prince, motioning to the people around him to take out five gold coins and hand them to the 'monkey'.

"Be sure to take good care of that righteous man for me!" the Ninth Prince waved his hand.

The Ninth Prince thought that the 'Monkey' would be polite or directly refuse his reward, but what he didn't expect was that the 'Monkey' took the gold coin without even thinking about it.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" After the 'monkey' put away the gold coins, he immediately bowed down and thanked the ninth prince.

While Timothy was slightly stunned, he couldn't help but secretly laugh at Li Zijun's family members who were just like that, they were just some greedy for money!

"Can I go and visit the righteous man?" the ninth prince was worried that the 'monkey' would refuse, and this time he ordered his subordinates to take out ten gold coins.

"My young master has already explained, during his absence, you are the master of the Duke's Palace, you can go wherever you want!" After thanking the 'monkey', he accepted the order again, and then made a gesture of invitation to the ninth prince.

The ninth prince followed the 'monkey' to the door with a full stomach of suspicion, and he couldn't help it on the way:

"Seeing that all the family members in your Duke's Mansion are very sensible and well-behaved, usually the Duke must be very strict with your discipline, right?"

"Back to the prince, the reason why the family members of our Duke's Mansion have such a performance is because the young master of my family has implemented a special reward and punishment system for us!"

"Oh, can you tell me about this 'reward and punishment system'?" Timothy was even more curious when he heard this.

"We are divided into several levels, and those like me who can get in touch with the outside world have a higher level!"

"This is not unusual, my house is roughly like this!"

"Lord Wang, don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly. My level is not fixed, every once in a while, the prince will evaluate us, if we are not qualified, our level will be reduced, and the level of some people will be increased accordingly!"

"That's a bit new!"

"Don't hide it from the prince, the more contact with the outside world, the more opportunities to get rewards! Under the stimulation of these rewards, we naturally have to work hard to do a good job and improve ourselves. Maybe you don't believe it, the young master requires that every family member in the Duke's Mansion must be literate, and the targeted assessment results are also one of the important bases for whether we can continue to stay in this position. ”

"It's not easy!" Timothy nodded.

What's more, it's not easy, in the huge palace of the ninth prince, the literate family is afraid that his hands can count it, and he can't help but sigh that Li Zijun has the skills to make people!

"Is there any restriction on the Duke receiving bounties from you?" Timothy followed the 'monkey's words and asked the question in his heart.

My young master said, 'As long as we serve you well, they will be happy and will give us some reward.' At this time, we must accept it, and we must not disobey the good intentions of all of you! This can be regarded as a reward for our hard work. ’”

It was the first time that the Ninth Prince had heard of Li Zijun's way of managing his subordinates, and he shook his head and smiled noncommittally. At this time, he suddenly saw the 'monkey' with a look of wanting to say something.

"Do you have any strange rules in the Duke's Palace?"

"My young master stipulates that if the bounty is more than one gold coin, we need to hand over all the excess part; if it is less than one gold coin, we also need to hand over half of the bounty, so that he doesn't have to pay for the bonuses of other family members! Thinking about how many gold coins I have to hand over for a while, my heart hurts for a while!" The 'monkey' said as he made an exaggerated expression of pain to the ninth prince!
