Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

No wonder the butler dared to do such reckless things, it turned out that his family was out of his control.

"Do they know why his son was silenced?" Li Junze continued to ask.

Liuzhou City is Wang Zhuo’s ancestral home. Not only is the Wang family’s ancestral hall built in Liuzhou, but all of the Wang family’s branches and Wang Zhuo’s younger brother also stayed in Liuzhou.

Even Li Junze would accompany Wang Zhuo back home to live for a short period of time every year, sometimes around the Qingming Festival, and sometimes during the ancestor worship time.

It was when he was visiting his relatives in Liuzhou that Gu Qiongsi asked Hu Er to contact him.

The mansion in Liuzhou was headed by Wang Zhuo's younger brother Wang Tuo, and the housekeeper's family originally worked in Wang Tuo's mansion.

"It is said that three people were sent out by Master Wang in the middle of the night. We don't know what they did, but none of them came back in the end."

Wen Jiaxiang hesitated and spoke. All the information showed that the housekeeper's son was silenced by Wang Tuo.

The butler might have also heard the news, so he was not a spy arranged by others, but he voluntarily defected just to take revenge on...himself?

That's not right. He should hate Wang Tuo. Why would he choose to take this path?

Could it be that what his son did when he ran out in the middle of the night was actually related to him?

Li Junze was a little confused. "You should send someone to Liuzhou. The main purpose is to find out the details of the incident and also to find the whereabouts of his wife and daughter."

Wen Jiaxiang nodded and was about to leave when he was stopped by Li Junze.

Li Junze thought about it and said, "Please arrange some silver and items for me and bring them to Master Wang Tuo. Ask him to help me renovate the ancestral hall."

"Yes." Although Wen Jiaxiang agreed and went out, he didn't understand in his heart why His Highness suddenly thought of repairing the ancestral hall.

After Li Junze arranged all these things, he sat quietly in a chair and closed his eyes to rest. Too many things have happened recently, and none of them went well.

Now we have finally caught the spy around us, but he is so clueless. If we can't find the housekeeper's wife and daughter, the housekeeper may never tell us who is behind this, even if we kill him.

With a "slap", he slapped the corner of the table beside him in annoyance. He felt a sharp pain in his hand and couldn't help but frown.

I told the housekeeper today that we were going to attack the Dali Temple. The person who passed the message must be someone who has a connection with the Dali Temple, but the pigeon flew out of the city. The more I thought about it, the more something seemed wrong.

However, Sun Xingzhi came back soon. He didn't look very happy either, and it was estimated that the news he brought was not very good.

Sun Xingzhi was also very depressed. He came to work for Li Junze and finally got another chance to perform meritorious service, but the result was... Oh...

"Your Highness, we have just released all the pigeons one by one, but none of them are flying with a purpose. They seem to be flying randomly. They should be ordinary pigeons."

He was a little discouraged and didn't understand what went wrong.

According to his speculation, there must be a pigeon that was going to deliver the note. If it wasn't the first pigeon, it would definitely be one of them. But now it seems that he guessed wrong.

In fact, his guess was correct, but when they were not paying attention, an inconspicuous servant had already replaced a few pigeons and released the pigeon that was going to deliver the message.

As for where it flew to, it must be the Dali Temple without a doubt.

After a while, Yan Nangui got the small note brought by the pigeon.

There were only a few small words on it, "The housekeeper is in trouble, help."

The handwriting was not that of the housekeeper. When Yan Nangui saw it, he immediately walked out of the interrogation room.

Deputy General Niu also came out soon after, with a puzzled look on his face.

What happened to Boss Yan? Why did he just leave in the middle of the interrogation? Did he want to go to the toilet?

Thinking of this, he stopped immediately.

"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Come with me." Yan Nangui's voice came, and Lieutenant General Niu immediately followed.

Fortunately, I wasn’t going to the toilet.

"Boss Yan, what happened?" Deputy General Niu looked at Yan Nangui's gloomy face and realized that something must be happening.

"Take twenty guards and go to Prince An's Mansion to arrest people." Yan Nangui said coldly.

"What, we're going to Prince An's mansion to arrest people? Us?" Deputy General Niu was a little surprised. It would take a lot of courage for them to go to the mansion to arrest people.

Yan Nangui thought for a moment, and while changing his slightly stained outer robe, he said, "What are you afraid of? Just send someone to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come for reinforcement. We didn't capture Prince An, but just a steward."

After he finished speaking, Lieutenant General Niu had already understood his idea. He nodded repeatedly in agreement and trotted over to make arrangements.

About another stick of incense time later, Yan Nangui arrived at the gate of Prince An's mansion with twenty strong guards.

"Lord Yan, what are you doing?" Wen Jiaxiang felt a little scared when he saw them coming at him aggressively. Since he no longer had a butler, he now acted as the butler.

"I don't know if you've heard about the case that happened in the capital a few days ago. It was the case where Gu Qiongsi assassinated Hu Er in the middle of the night. We also received the emperor's order to conduct a strict interrogation. As a result, because the three guards were from Prince An's Mansion, I came here to ask the butler to cooperate with the investigation."

Yan Nangui did not hide anything and told him directly.

Wen Jiaxiang was secretly shocked. The housekeeper had just been in trouble. Did they get the news so quickly? Could there be someone else in the mansion who passed the news to them?

"What? Are you going to hinder the Dali Temple from handling the case?" Seeing that he had no intention of giving way, Yan Nangui asked unhappily.

"Oh, no, no, Lord Yan has misunderstood. I will report to His Royal Highness Prince An right away. Please wait a moment." Wen Jiaxiang explained hurriedly and asked the servants to help pour tea. Then he hurried to the conference room to find Li Junze to report.

After a while, Li Junze did not let Yan Nangui enter the house, but instead brought Wen Jiaxiang to the back house in the front yard.

In the spacious back room, Yan Nangui sat in his seat with a majestic posture, while Deputy General Niu beside him was fanning him with a fan.

"Yan Nangui, Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, pays his respects to His Royal Highness Prince An." When Yan Nangui saw Li Junze coming, he quickly stood up and bowed to him.

"Excuse me, I heard that the case of Gu Qiongsi involved the housekeeper of the palace?" Li Junze asked casually.
