Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"Butler, you... tell me." Li Junze's cold words became even more creepy after seeing the carrier pigeon.

But the butler was now completely different from his previous self. He closed his eyes tightly, as if he had not heard Li Junze's words at all, and refused to say anything.

"Humph, you are really amazing. I have checked everyone around me three times, but I never thought it was you. I trusted you too much in the past."

Li Junze said angrily at this time, and stretched out his hand to take down the bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg. Inside was a very thin rolled piece of paper.

The butler still refused to speak at this time. Since he had been discovered anyway, he simply gave up on defending himself.

Li Junze glanced at him sideways and fixed his eyes on the unfolded note. There were only two small words on it, "Tonight".

This was obviously a message to someone, and what he wanted to say was that Li Junze wanted to take action against the Dali Temple tonight.

"Haha, who was this message passed to? Let me guess, was it His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, or Yan Nangui, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple?"

"Or is there someone else involved with them? Simao De?"

Li Junze's continuous questioning did not change the housekeeper's attitude at all. This completely annoyed him, but he did not get angry. Instead, he smiled wickedly and continued,

"In that case, let's release the pigeon and see where it will fly to. However, the content of the note needs to be modified. Just imitate the housekeeper's handwriting and write the words 'help'."

"Yes." After hearing this, Cao Xingwen held the pigeon and went to arrange the follow-up matters.

Hearing what Li Junze said, the butler finally reacted, but he only opened his eyes and looked at him, then quickly closed his eyes again.

"Also, go to Liuzhou and take control of the housekeeper's entire family. From the moment you decided to betray me, you should have known what the consequences would be."

Li Junze became angrier as he spoke, and waved his hand to let Wen Jiaxiang handle the matter.

"Haha, my whole family?" Although the housekeeper still had his eyes closed, two lines of tears flowed out of him, as if he was extremely sad and painful.

It looked like something had happened to his family, so he wasn't worried about them at all.

The butler has been with Li Junze for more than three years, since he set up a residence outside the palace. He should be the person arranged for him by his grandfather Wang Zhuo.

Therefore, he suspected everyone around him, even Wen Jiaxiang and others, but he did not suspect the housekeeper.

However, with each incident that happened again and again, it seemed as if the other party had predicted all of his actions in advance, forcing him to turn his attention to the butler.

The problem was discovered upon checking.

However, looking at the butler's current situation, it seems that he is determined not to say anything. Li Junze is too lazy to waste time with him. He waved his hand and asked the guards to drag him away. "Interrogate him thoroughly."

The chief guard was named Sun Changjian, who was the person who took over the positions of Wang Quan and Li Huan. After hearing what Li Junze said, he quickly replied, "Yes, Your Highness."

Then he and several guards dragged the butler out.

Sun Xingzhi read all these things silently, and his contempt for Li Junze had disappeared a lot.

It turned out that his current decline was all due to the fact that there were spies around him, and a lot of information was known to him in advance.

"Your Highness, have you ever thought about placing one or two such people around the other party?" Sun Xingzhi asked immediately when he saw Li Junze calm down.

"Of course I haven't thought about it, but unfortunately, I was either discovered or not reused. No one can get action instructions like the butler every time."

Li Junze also shook his head and sighed. On the one hand, he was really sad that his trust in the housekeeper had resulted in such a sentence. On the other hand, he lamented that none of the people he sent out were useful.

Sun Xingzhi naturally knew that arranging someone to act as an insider was a very difficult task, especially if he had to arrange him to a key position, which would be even more difficult.

It can only be said that the people around the other party are relatively stable, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter the key circle of personnel.

After a while, Wen Jiaxiang and Cao Xingwen came back.

The expressions on their faces were not looking good. It was obvious that things were not going smoothly. Li Junze also began to feel annoyed.

Cao Xingwen first explained the situation on his side, "After the pigeon was released, it did not stay in the capital for long, but flew out of the capital and flew towards Liuzhou.

Our people followed them all the way, but they lost them halfway."

This is normal. Even if a person is riding a horse, how can he be faster than a flying pigeon?

"Waste, all waste." Li Junze roared angrily, his face visibly turning red.

"Your Highness, please calm down. I really didn't think that the pigeon would fly out of the capital. Logically speaking, it shouldn't happen." Seeing that Li Junze was anxious, Cao Xingwen hurriedly spoke up to explain.

After seeing this, Sun Xingzhi paused for a moment, then continued Cao Xingwen's words, "Carrier pigeons only send messages at two points. Since this pigeon flew out of the city, then are there more pigeons? Could it be that each pigeon flew to a different place?"

After listening to Sun Xingzhi's words, Li Junze also figured out the problem. It is also possible that the housekeeper found out that he was discovered, so he caught a wrong pigeon to confuse the public.

"Xingzhi, then let you do this." Li Junze thought about it and still felt that Sun Xingzhi was more thoughtful, so it might be more reliable to let him continue the next action.

"Yes, Your Highness." After hearing this, Sun Xingzhi agreed without hesitation and followed the captain of the guards to the place where the housekeeper raised pigeons.

Wen Jiaxiang then reported, "Your Highness, there are two servants in the mansion who came from Liuzhou Prefecture. I just asked and already know the general situation, but..."

He did not dare to speak out the next words easily. He looked at Li Junze's expression before he dared to continue speaking.

"The steward's parents have passed away, his wife has been ill for a long time, and he has a son and a daughter. They used to work in the Liuzhou Palace. Later, when he was on a mission, the steward's son was killed because he knew something he shouldn't have known. Not long after that, his daughter and wife also disappeared."

"Hehe, hehe, such an important person in the palace, such a thing happened in his family, why didn't I get any news at all?"

Li Junze laughed out of anger.
