The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

Chapter 331: The War King is blackmailing them, even better than them

At this moment, Prince Li was already extremely anxious.

Being stopped by Huo Zhanting, I don’t know how far the thief has run!

If I don’t hurry up, I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch up!

If the account book was taken away by someone, I'm afraid...

"A thief broke into my palace and stole my important items. Why can't I take people to catch the thief? King Zhan is here to stop me. Could it be that he is colluding with the thief?"

The more anxious Prince Li was, the calmer Huo Zhanting became. When he heard Prince Li's words, he said with a look of surprise and worry:

"Your Highness Prince Li, please don't blame me! I know that there is a thief in Prince Li's mansion, so I understand that Prince Li is in a bad mood. However, this blind thief even dared to steal Prince Li's things. How despicable!"

"Well, what did His Royal Highness Prince Li lose? This is my duty. I will send the people of Jingjiwei to help Prince Li find it."

How could Prince Li dare to say that he lost the account book? He could only smile:

"Don't bother King Zhan about this. You can find the Prince Li's mansion yourself, but King Zhan's people are requested to get out of the way."

How could he find it when so many people from the Jingji Guards were blocking him from passing?

Huo Zhanting saw that the time was almost up, so he sighed and said helplessly:

"Your Highness Prince Li, you don't believe me. Well, well, Prince Li, go find it quickly. However, I also want to remind Prince Li of one thing."

"Even though Prince Li is your Majesty's biological son, this prince is guilty of the same crime as a commoner. After the curfew in the capital, no one is allowed to run around in the capital with a large number of troops, or they may be suspected of rebellion."

Except for the people from Jingjiwei and Jingzhao Prefecture, no one could easily lead troops out at night.

Otherwise, even if Huo Zhanting didn't say anything now, tomorrow morning, the impeachment letter of Prince Li would probably be sent to the Qinzheng Palace.

Prince Li gnashed his teeth in anger when he heard what Huo Zhanting said. He knew Huo Zhanting was threatening him, but Huo Zhanting was not wrong, so he gritted his teeth and said:

"Please give me another half hour, King Zhan. After half an hour, no matter whether I find the thief or not, I will bring him back to Prince Li's mansion. How do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the War King sighed and said:

"This... Jingjiwei has so many mouths, and I can't stop them all by myself, everyone, right?"

The Jingji Guard is a special existence. Most of the Jingji Guards are noblemen in the court who come here to gild their reputations.

But now, since Huo Zhanting became the commander, he has already trained these former playboys into obedient ranks.

In the past, the Jingji Guards were best at seeking benefits by taking advantage of their positions.

But since Huo Zhanting came, they haven't done this for a long, long time.

now……

Listening to Huo Zhanting's words, how could they not know that Huo Zhanting was allowing them to return to their old ways and take advantage of King Li?

This is in line with the expertise of the guards in the capital!

"Isn't this bad? We have been patrolling the capital in the middle of the night and we are exhausted. Today we finally have a chance to make a contribution, but we are giving up now?"

"Isn't it? How can you give up such a great achievement so easily?"

"How much is this contribution worth? Is it worth us giving it up?"

If this person who violated the laws of Dayong in the middle of the night was caught, it would be considered a small achievement for the guards of the capital. Even if he was released tomorrow, it would not be a big deal.

These people were talking to each other, but Ye Zhili understood everything!

These playboys want money!

He immediately gritted his teeth and said directly to these people:

"After half an hour, regardless of whether the person is caught or not, I will give each of you 100 taels as a reward for your hard work. How do you think?"

One hundred taels is not a small number, but aren’t all those present the sons of nobles with distinguished family backgrounds?

After hearing what King Li said, everyone immediately showed disdain:

"One hundred taels? To send away beggars?"

"That's right, who hasn't seen a hundred taels?"

"Oh, I didn't expect His Royal Highness Prince Li to be so poor."

Everyone was looking at each other and talking at the same time. Prince Li almost vomited blood when he heard it!

He took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Five hundred taels per person. If you complain again, I will go back!"

"Oh? Look at what King Li said! It's just a piece of cake."

"Yes, yes! Prince Li, please go find the thief quickly. We brothers will also help to look around."

"Yes, yes, yes! It's the silver..."

Everyone was obviously planning to stop while they were ahead. Prince Li took a deep breath and looked directly at a personal guard beside him and said:

"Take them back to the mansion and get the money."

"Yes!"

The guard nodded immediately and saluted Huo Zhanting and others.

Huo Zhanting smiled and raised his hand to ask the Jingji Guards to make way. Upon seeing this, Prince Li rushed over without hesitation.

Ye Zhili felt very aggrieved, but he couldn't vent, which made him even more aggrieved.

Shortly after Ye Zhili left, Ren Wei and Li Wu had already changed into the clothes of the Jingji Guards and followed Huo Zhanting.

Huo Zhanting looked at the two of them, and was relieved to see that they were fine. He smiled at the Jingji Guards who were looking at him eagerly,

"Prince Li is so generous, we would be disrespectful to refuse."

Upon hearing this, the guards of the capital cheered in unison and let the servant lead the way to Prince Li's palace.

However, on the way to Prince Li's Palace, Huo Zhanting casually summoned a guard from the capital:

"King Li's good intentions are not just for the brothers who are taking up their posts today."

The guard of Jingji was very happy, his eyes lit up immediately, and he gave Huo Zhanting a thumbs up:

"Boss! This is what you got! I'll go call all my brothers over here to claim the reward!"

Huo Zhanting smiled and nodded, and the man quickly called a few people and ran away!

The eyes of the people in Jingjiwei when they looked at Huo Zhanting changed a little.

They still thought that their war king was really a man who was detached from worldly affairs and only knew how to follow the rules and military regulations!

But they didn't expect that this war king was even better than them at extorting money!

and!

Their War King was even more vicious, not only did he send the Jingji Guards to collect the silver, he even called the people on leave to come along.

This Jingji Guard... has 10,000 people!

Everyone couldn't help but worry for His Royal Highness Prince Li, who had just appeared so wealthy.

If they squeeze it hard, I'm afraid the Prince Li's Mansion will go bankrupt, right?

With Huo Zhanting's obstruction, it was naturally impossible for Prince Li to find anyone.

When Prince Dali returned home, there was a long queue of people from the Jingji Guard in front of his house!

And now, after half an hour, the guards of the capital have almost received all the rewards!

Those who didn't receive any cash directly took away valuable things from Prince Li's Palace!

Ye Zhili couldn't yell at the Jingji Guards directly, so he just yelled at the accountant:

“Who asked you to give me money!!!”

The accountant shrank his neck, looked at Ye Zhili aggrievedly and said:

"Didn't your personal guards come back to tell you?"

"You...you guys! Trash! Trash!!"

At this moment, Prince Li pointed at the accountant and started cursing.

Not only was the account book lost today, but Prince Li's Mansion was looted again. No matter how steady Ye Zhili was, he couldn't help but burst into cursing.

But, when it rains, it pours!

The five guards who had just left with Feng Yan stumbled back and said to Ye Zhili:

"It's bad, Prince Li! Feng Yan, Feng Yan ran away! The old Zeng he mentioned never showed up at all. He lied to us about everything!"

Ye Zhili widened his eyes, how could he not know what was going on?

There must be a spy in the mansion, who worked together inside and outside to steal his account book!

And the person who betrayed him was Feng Yan, his uncle?

At that moment, Ye Zhili really couldn't bear it anymore. He vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted from anger!

He was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted!
