After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

Chapter 396 Let’s get down to business

"Master Meng, Nanyang Yao, you two specially asked me to come here today. Are you here to get jealous?

Can we talk business first?

You two are both officials appointed by the imperial court, so you shouldn't be so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter, right?"

Li Shiliu put down the tea bowl in her hand and looked at the two childish court officials in front of her with indifference.

"…I am sorry for being rude…"

Meng Qisui was the first to lower his head slightly and clasp his hands together. The Dali Temple Chief Justice Meng Qisui actually took a step back on his own initiative.

Lord Meng knew clearly that because of what happened before, he had lost the initiative and was seized upon by Nanyang Yao, who reaped the benefits. Now he couldn't even get a mouthful of soup.

It would not do Meng Qisui any good if he became jealous in front of Li Shiliu now. If he accidentally angered Li Shiliu, he might lose his chance completely.

"Two days ago, I reported to the emperor about the large number of fugitive slaves in Duke Yue's mansion and the suspicion of Tong Wencai." Li Shiliu continued.

The emperor was furious and ordered me to investigate the case thoroughly and not let the murderer go no matter who he was. "

"Li Yue'er, the beloved concubine of Lord Tong, the governor of the Nine Gates, is willing to pay ten thousand taels of gold to buy the life of her son Tong Wencai.

It seems that over the years, Li Yue'er has made a lot of money under the name of Tong Guoan.

I'm afraid there are a lot of tricks in this huge amount of gold.

Lord Meng can use this as a breakthrough point to conduct a thorough investigation."

Li Shiliu also took the initiative to provide Meng Qisui with new information.

Unexpectedly, Meng Qisui looked at Li Shiliu with some concern and said, "Tong Wencai is already a useless person, not to mention that he has committed such an unforgivable crime. Killing him will also eliminate harm for the people.

But if what the princess said just now is true, I am afraid it will implicate the entire Yueguo Mansion. After all, the princess is the wife of the prince of Yueguo Mansion..."

Seeing that Meng Qisui thought of the possible consequences of this matter so quickly, Li Shiliu couldn't help but look up to him even more.

She knew that Meng Qisui was really thinking about her, but she didn't care about that.

So Li Shiliu smiled and said, "Master Meng, don't worry. Since I dare to tell you this, I am not afraid of being implicated.

Moreover, I am the princess who was recognized by the emperor as having the Royal Jade Butterfly under the name of the Grand Princess.

Enjoy the first-class royal salary..."

Hearing Li Shiliu say this, Meng Qisui nodded. He knew in his heart that Li Shiliu must have made some arrangements for his future, so he finally put his mind at ease.

"Thank you for your reminder, Princess. I will definitely act with caution. However, this matter is of great importance and requires long-term consideration." Meng Qisui said.

Li Shiliu nodded. Investigating the case was the responsibility of the Dali Temple. Professional matters should be left to professionals, so there was no need for her to get involved.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Lord Meng. If you need any help, just let me know." Li Shiliu said.

After Meng Qisui thanked Li Shiliu, he realized that he had no reason to stay and was about to leave, but he heard Li Shiliu speak again.

"Sir Meng, the Nine Gates Admiral Tong Guoan is heading south to suppress the bandits. According to the itinerary, it will take at least three months, and at most four or five months.

If that old guy came back, the ones he doted on the most would be Li Yue'er and her two sons. It would be as if they were bewitched.

Opportunities are rare and will never come back. Lord Meng must seize this God-given opportunity, lest you fail at the last moment and betray the emperor's trust and such a good situation."

Meng Qisui paused, turned back and took a deep look at the smiling Li Shiliu.
