After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 292

The person who was caught couldn't stop admitting his mistake and begging for mercy.

I was so bold that I took more than I deserved. Madam Ye, please forgive me this time for the sake of my parents.

Forget it, I don't want to argue with you about other things. So your parents don't know?

Captain Liu nodded hurriedly. It would only be a fine and a few days in jail, but the adults were still here and nothing would happen.

After listening to this, she drew her dagger and turned to give orders to the housekeeper.

Tie him up and keep him under guard. I will go and talk to Lord Liu in person at dawn to find out what crime he should be charged with.

Captain Liu's heart, which had just relaxed, was immediately lifted up again because of these words. He turned around and stared at the departing figures with a look of panic on his face.

What's going on?! Didn't I hear that person say that?

When she returned to the room, she made the quilt smooth, sat beside the bed and looked at Xiaoliu.

Did you notice what happened outside just now?

Xiao Liu thought of the several figures that flashed by in the dark when he was arresting people just now. He looked solemn and nodded slightly.

I thought I had seen it wrong.

You read it right, there are indeed people hiding in the dark, and their skills are far superior to the previous group of people.

I noticed someone was following me when I drove to Zhuangzi, so I only paid attention to the few people in front.

You have shown up today, so I guess the news that Ye Xing is in good health but hasn't appeared for a long time can no longer be concealed. Be careful in the middle of the night, I'm afraid they will attack the manor at night, especially Fu Mingche, let him be ready to evacuate at any time.

Yes.

Early the next morning, she took the tied-up Captain Liu directly to find Liu Zhiping.

Liu Zhiping frowned and looked at the two of them with a headache.

If you have anything to say, I will just say it. You are not taking me seriously by doing this?

What happened?

She turned around, pulled out the person hiding behind her, and pushed him forward.

It's fine if you sent someone to monitor me, but why did you break into my cabinet in the middle of the night? I don't think you are a person who needs money, so I want to hear your explanation.

At this point, Liu Zhiping looked confused, so she took the opportunity to step forward and untie the cloth on Captain Liu's mouth.

Sir, this is really none of my business. It was instigated by those little brats.

After hearing this, Liu Zhiping understood.

He couldn't let his subordinates do many shady things, so he tacitly allowed them to secretly recruit some ruffians and the like.

But these people are used to gambling on a daily basis, and in order to build good relationships with them, several Captain Lius often hang out with them.

Liu Zhiping usually turns a blind eye to their behavior.

As long as it does not affect the mission and is within their capabilities, they can play as much as they want.

Didn't I tell you that it's okay to hang out with those people, but don't go too far. Tell me, how much do you owe?

Captain Liu lowered his head and tremblingly stretched out a finger forward.

One hundred taels?

One... one hundred taels... of gold...

Liu Zhiping's face turned dark instantly. If it was one hundred taels of silver, he thought it was not a big deal and he could just pay it back.

But one hundred taels of gold... just thinking about it made him feel like he couldn't breathe and was suffocating.

I'm not here to settle scores with you today, after all, we've known each other for so many years. I just want to ask what to do about this matter, can you find those people from yesterday?

Apart from what we found on him yesterday, there are still two hundred taels missing. If we can find those people and get the money back, it will still be in time.

Captain Liu knew that he had gotten into trouble this time, and he was listening attentively to the lecture. When he saw the two of them discussing a solution, he immediately spoke up.

I'll contact them right now and bring the person back.
