Chapter 238: First Suppressed and then Raised

Although the executioners of the Criminal Department were ready to join forces against Li Zijun, they still lacked some courage to let them directly disobey Li Zijun's order.

The day after Monroe conveyed Li Zijun's order to them, they arrived at the Duke's Palace early in the morning, and they did not want to give the young duke any excuse to have a seizure.

The guards of the Duke's Mansion saw the documents proving their identities, and immediately sent someone to report the matter to Li Zijun while letting them into the mansion.

In order to give these people a dismount, the 'monkey' specially transferred the toughest-looking and most vicious guards of the Duke's Palace to entertain them. Not only that, but the 'monkey' also deliberately found them a small, low room, and arranged them here to wait for Li Zijun's summons.

Looking at the surrounding guards who were glaring at them angrily and viciously, these executioners suddenly understood that if Li Zijun really wanted to do something, they would not even have a chance to resist, and no one would cry out for them afterwards! Thinking of this, in this season when it was warm and cold, these people began to sweat and sweat uncontrollably!

Hearing the description of the reaction of the guards in front of him, Li Zijun just smiled coldly, and then began to continue his breakfast unhurriedly.

As soon as Li Zijun put down the dishes, he heard the footsteps of the 'monkey' from far and near, and came to his study. Every day, the 'monkey' will appear at the moment when Li Zijun finishes his meal, neither early nor late. This ability of his has always amazed Li Zijun!

Today was a little different, this time the 'monkey' did not push open the door and break in, as usual, but knocked lightly.

Li Zijun never doubted the 'monkey''s loyalty to him, even after yesterday, he only had some doubts at first, thinking of what the 'monkey' was doing beside him, he quickly dispelled his concerns. It is also based on these judgments that Li Zijun gave the 'monkey' time and opportunity.

It's just that Li Zijun also understands that there must be a depression in the heart of the 'monkey', and before this depression is opened, it is difficult for the 'monkey' to treat himself with the previous attitude.

Thinking of this, Li Zijun couldn't help but sigh secretly:

"Come in!"

The 'monkey' respectfully pushed open the door and walked in through the door with a serious face.

"Good morning, young master!" The 'monkey' bowed down to Li Zijun and stood aside in an orderly manner.

"Have you eaten breakfast? If you haven't eaten, sit down and have some food before they have withdrawn. In order to reduce the pressure on the 'monkey', Li Zijun tried to maintain the same attitude as before.

"Back to the young master, I've eaten it!"

Hearing the 'monkey's reply, Li Zijun nodded to the servants beside him, and they quickly cleaned up the table.

"Did you hear that? The men from the Criminal Department are coming! I see that they are almost tortured too, so go and bring them here. Before that, go to the account office and fetch me three hundred silver coins. ”

"Yes, young master!" the 'monkey' bowed to Li Zijun in a stylized manner, turned around and walked out of the study.

Seeing the back of the 'monkey' leaving, Li Zijun felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, thanks to the fact that it was after breakfast, otherwise he really didn't know if he would still have an appetite. Thinking that this would be the mode of interaction between the two for a long time, Li Zijun couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

It wasn't long before the 'monkey' brought the executioners into the room, along with three hundred silver coins, and after placing them on his desk, he stepped aside without saying a word.

"The little ones salute the Duke!" After the scene just now, these people no longer dared to be disrespectful to Li Zijun, and as soon as the 'monkey' got out of the way, they collectively knelt down in front of Li Zijun.

Hearing that some of them kept shivering, Li Zijun couldn't help but smile in his heart, it seemed that his goal of punishing these people had been achieved!

Li Zijun has already understood that it is these people in front of him who have injured Gavin and York to what they are now. He also knew very well that what these people did was only instructed by some people, and if he secretly poisoned these people, he would definitely be said to be narrow-minded, and he himself would feel excessive!

But let Li Zijun let them go like this, he felt unwilling, and it would also make others think that he was too weak. Just when he was hesitating what to do with them, Van Lunding gave him an idea, and those guys in the Criminal Department had what happened this morning.

At the moment, it seems that the effect is not bad, at least after the others learned about this situation, ordinary people would no longer dare to offend his authority easily!

"What are you doing here, 'monkey', help me get them all up. Li Zijun pretended to know nothing about what had just happened, and looked at the humanity in front of him with a blank expression.

"Lord Duke, hurting your subordinates is completely my doing, and it has nothing to do with other people, please don't embarrass them!" The man who looked like a small leader knelt down for half a step, and pleaded with Li Zijun on the ground.

"What are you talking about? Why don't I understand it!'Monkey', what did the people of my Duke's Mansion do just now? Didn't I let you tell them yesterday, although our brothers were injured at their hands, they were performing their duties, and they actually had nothing to do with them! I invited them over today to help me do things, but I didn't let them do it!" Li Zijun deliberately showed great anger and pointed at the 'monkey' and asked.

"Young master, I told them all the things you asked me to confess, and they all did it. I didn't even let them wait for your summons outside the mansion this morning, I really don't understand how a few adults could have such a misunderstanding?" The 'monkey' cooperated with Li Zijun with an aggrieved expression.

"Is it that any of you boys has taken my words as a deaf ear? Have you secretly offended a friend in the Criminal Department? I tell you, once I find out that someone is disobedient to my words, I will not spare him!"

"Young Master, there really isn't! If you don't believe me, we can confront all the adults face to face!"

"Whoever offends you, I promise: he can only walk on crutches for the rest of his life!" Li Zijun seemed to be really angry, and said with an unusually cold face.

Hearing the conversation between Li Zijun and the 'monkey', and seeing Li Zijun's indignant expression, these people in the Criminal Department were confused!

If you think about it carefully, although those people in the Duke's Palace seem to be murderous, they have actually always been very polite to their own people, and they really didn't do anything. For a while, these people in the Criminal Department didn't know how to respond to Li Zijun's question.

"'Monkey', you go and invite all the other officials of the Criminal Department to me, I must give an explanation to these wronged brothers of the Criminal Department in front of everyone!"

When they saw the 'monkey', they walked out of the room without anger, and only then did these people in the criminal department react, and several people hurriedly got up and pulled the 'monkey' away.

"Your Excellency, you have misunderstood! We have not been treated unfairly in the Duke's Palace, we are just very upset about hurting your men, which is why we are doing this today. Please don't be wrong about the guards of the Duke's Palace!" The little leader had already stood up from the ground at this moment, and he couldn't help waving his hand to Li Zijun.

"Is there really no one to trouble you or deliberately offend you?" Li Zijun still looked unrelenting.

"Not really, really not! The people of the Duke's Court have always been very kind to us. The little leader assured Li Zijun vigorously.

Li Zijun confirmed the others a few more times, and when he heard the same answer, his nervous expression relaxed.

"Alright, don't freeze there! Go, get some chairs for these brothers in the Criminal Department. "Li Zijun instructed the 'monkey'.

"Lord Duke, how dare we have a seat in front of you? What is your direct order, as long as we do our best, we will definitely live up to your expectations!" This little leader still can't fully trust Li Zijun, and it is precisely for this reason that he added the restriction of 'within our ability' before 'living up to expectations'.

"Since you insist, then I won't force it anymore! I specially invited you here today, mainly because I want to get your help with something?" Li Zijun paused slightly when he said this, and looked at the little leader in front of him with earnest eyes. Li Zijun was a little interested in this little leader, and he wanted to see how this person answered him.

This guy took a blind eye to Li Zijun's performance, not only did he not say a word, but also used his eyes to prevent others from speaking casually.

"Of course, I won't let you help in vain, as long as you can help me solve this problem, the three hundred silver coins on the table will be yours! ”

When the executioners came to the Duke's Palace, they all thought that Li Zijun would find an excuse to take revenge for the fact that they had hurt Gavin and York. But what they didn't expect was that Li Zijun would actually lose such a big 'pie' to them! Not to mention the reward later, even the three hundred silver coins in front of them were also a lot of wealth for them, and some of these people had already begun to be tempted.

"But don't think that the silver coins of my Duke's Mansion are easy to earn, if you can't complete the task according to my requirements, then this small amount of money will pass you by! In a word, my silver coins are for those who have the ability, and they will never be thrown to a waste casually!" After the inducement, Li Zijun joined the radical method.

"Lord Duke, do you have any tasks that you might as well say it directly?" This time, before the little leader could speak, there was already someone behind him who couldn't help but speak first.
