Soon, they reached a consensus, and Prince An's Mansion agreed to pay 10,000 taels of silver to settle the matter.

Yan Nangui then looked at Li Junze and said, "Your Highness Prince An, have you found the butler yet? We just went to ask a few questions and then released him. Please be lenient, Your Highness."

Li Junze looked grim. Because of Deputy General Niu's commotion just now, he hadn't found a chance to report the matter to Wang Zhuo. When he heard Yan Nangui talking about the matter again, he remembered to tell Wang Zhuo.

He walked up to Wang Zhuo and whispered to him what had just happened, including that the dungeon had been discovered and the people who were imprisoned inside had been taken away.

As Wang Zhuo listened, his expression hardly changed. After hearing what Wang Zhuo said, he nodded slightly and then turned his gaze to Yan Nangui.

"I'm so sorry, Master Yan. Ze'er just sent someone to look for the housekeeper, but he found that he was missing. Look at this...?"

"Missing? That's not possible. I just want to ask a few questions. It's not an interrogation. Why is he missing?"

Yan Nangui was very confused after hearing this and glanced at Deputy General Niu, who was reaching into his arms to touch the silver bills he had just received and had no time to pay attention to Yan Nangui's eyes.

"It's fine if Lord Yan doesn't believe me. Anyway, I can't find him anywhere now. I really can't hand him over to you today."

Li Junze spread his hands helplessly. He was too lazy to continue dealing with them.

The butler's affairs did not have much impact on him, because he had chosen to betray him a long time ago, and he must have said everything that needed to be said.

Now, he just wanted to vent his anger and get the evidence of his betrayal and who he depended on, so that he could go to the emperor and sue that person.

I didn't expect that in just a short while, things would turn out like this.

The spy who was finally found was rescued without getting any information from him. The key point is that we still don't know who rescued him.

However, when Yan Nangui and his companions came to Prince An's Mansion to cause trouble this time, even if there was no evidence, the person behind the butler must be related to Yan Nangui.

"In that case, we can only look for it ourselves, Deputy General Niu," Yan Nangui did not hesitate and called out to Deputy General Niu.

Deputy General Niu immediately came to his senses and quickly pulled his hand out of the banknote in his arms, "Here."

"Let's go." Yan Nangui bowed and saluted the two of them, then he led a group of people from the Dali Temple and left Prince An's Mansion in a mighty manner.

Li Junze watched their figures disappear at the gate of the mansion and angrily punched the wall beside him.

"Wen Jiaxiang, hurry up, send someone to follow them and see where they went. Send more people." Wang Zhuo waved and said to Wen Jiaxiang.

"Yes." Wen Jiaxiang agreed. He understood what Wang Zhuo meant. He wanted to follow the clues and see if Yan Nangui and the others would meet the people who rescued the housekeeper.

"Zer, being angry won't solve the problem. Our loss today was not in vain. The fact that Yan Nangui can come here so openly shows that he is not afraid of becoming our enemy at all. Maybe..."

As Wang Zhuo spoke, his eyes became deeper.

These words also instantly attracted Li Junze's attention. He turned his head to look at Wang Zhuo, who still had a calm expression, and asked, "What is it?"

"Probably, the Dali Temple has joined forces with the Eastern Palace."

Wang Zhuo said helplessly.

"Isn't this better? As long as we have evidence to prove that the two of them are secretly colluding, Father will not let them go easily."

Li Junze said with some excitement.

The emperor has become more and more suspicious in recent years. He dislikes the fact that these princes have close contacts with court officials in secret. Especially since the Dali Temple is a place that specializes in handling affairs for the emperor, it is totally inappropriate for the Eastern Palace to interfere.

"Hey, do you think they would be so careless as to let us find evidence of their collusion?" Wang Zhuo shook his head and walked towards the backyard with Li Junze.

All the way to the dungeon door.

This place is very well hidden. If there were no one leading the way, they would not have been able to find it even if they came here several times. Unfortunately, it has been exposed now.

"Zer will arrange people to collect evidence between them now. As long as they did it, they will definitely leave clues." Li Junze was not giving up and still refused to give up this matter.

"Zer, many things can actually be done in a roundabout way, or by finding a crisis event and having the two of them appear at the same time. This way, even if there is no evidence, the emperor will be suspicious, and that will be enough."

Wang Zhuo gave Li Junze an earnest reminder that he was still too young and had too little experience.

After listening to Wang Zhuo's words, Li Junze no longer insisted on his previous thoughts, but began to think seriously about Wang Zhuo's words.

"What's the current situation of the two people who were originally in the dungeon?" Wang Zhuo changed the subject and asked about the two people who were rescued with the housekeeper.

"They are almost crippled. They were unconscious more than they were awake." Li Junze's simple words showed that the two must have suffered inhuman torture.

"That's good." Wang Zhuo only said three words and stopped asking questions.

Neither of them mentioned the identities of the two people.

Seeing Deputy General Niu smiling so coquettishly, Yan Nangui felt relieved. "Hurry up and touch it a few more times. It will be confiscated when we get to the Dali Temple."

"Ah, this is what I gained by sacrificing my reputation. My lord, please leave me some hard work pay..." Lieutenant General Niu immediately frowned and muttered softly.

"According to the regulations, this kind of money will definitely be confiscated, but don't worry, I will treat you to a drink at my own expense tonight. How about that?"

Yan Nangui shook his head. He would never do anything that violated the rules.

"Okay, okay, it's a deal." After hearing this, Deputy General Niu did not feel disappointed at all. Instead, he became even more excited, and the guards following him also joined in the fun.

I put on that act just for this dinner.

Because they all knew very well that the boss would definitely not keep a single cent of the money.

"Well, Boss Yan, are we really not going to look for the butler?" Deputy General Niu scratched his head, a little confused. He tried so hard to perform, but in the end he failed to bring the butler back.

This is a bit of a loss.

"I don't know the details, but we will understand once we return to the Dali Temple." Yan Nangui said in a low voice.
