"Mr. Zhao, have you gone to bed?"
Hearing this voice, Zhao Feng frowned slightly. This voice turned out to be that of the housekeeper.
So Zhao Feng waved his hand and asked the two servants to hide aside while he walked over and opened the door.
I saw the housekeeper standing at the door with a smile. After two days, the redness and swelling on her face had subsided. She was accompanied by two maids who looked soft and frail.
"Mr. Zhao, can I go in and talk?"
Zhao Feng leaned against the door frame, shook his head, and said with a very cold attitude.
"Forget it, after all, this is Her Highness the Princess's mansion, and next to it is Her Highness the Princess's bedroom. If you have anything to say, just say it at the door!"
The housekeeper opened his mouth, his face showed a little embarrassment, and then he cupped his hands towards Zhao Feng and said.
"Mr. Zhao, I offended you because I didn't understand Taishan. I wonder if Mr. Zhao can forgive me?"
"If you are willing, maybe the two of us can work together!"
As she said this, she showed a constricted expression, pulled the two maids behind her to her, and then lowered her voice and spoke.
"Mr. Zhao, you must have come here alone without a maid to wait on you, so it must be very deserted. It just so happens that these two maids were trained by me personally. They are not only very gentle, but also good-looking."
"How about we let them take care of Mr. Zhao these days?"
After hearing the butler's words, Zhao Feng suddenly understood what she meant. He looked at the two maids who looked very weak. If they were ordinary men, they would indeed be shaken at this time.
It's a pity that Zhao Feng is not the kind of man who thinks with his lower body at all, so he said very coldly at this time.
"Who do you think I am?"
The housekeeper was slightly startled, Zhao Feng sneered, and said directly with his arms crossed.
"Did you really think that no one would notice the things you did secretly? And now you still want to drag me into trouble?"
"I advise you to think this way, why not go back and prepare a better coffin for yourself first. Maybe when the things you did are found out, you won't end up with a whole corpse!"
This could be regarded as a naked threat, and when the housekeeper heard Zhao Feng's words, his face suddenly darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said.
"Zhao, do you really think this is still the capital?"
"Okay, since you are unwilling to cooperate, then don't blame me for being ruthless. You can investigate those things as you like. If I do anything to murder the princess, I will be punished voluntarily!"
Zhao Feng couldn't help laughing, but the housekeeper gave Zhao Feng a gloomy look, turned around and left.
The two maids also followed the housekeeper step by step as if they were frightened. The three of them were talking from time to time.
Zhao Feng shook his head. He didn't expect that the housekeeper would come up with such a method. He really had the brains of a dog!
However, it can be seen from here that the housekeeper also knows that he is under threat. He just needs to investigate carefully, and maybe he can really find some clues.
Zhao Feng returned to the room and asked Liu Jia and Li Ding to go back and rest.
Although Liu Jia and Li Ding lived with the servants, Zhao Feng was very confident in their loyalty and would never be corrupted by this housekeeper.
In the next few days, Zhao Feng and Zhou Tong stayed in the mansion. Occasionally, the two of them went out to see the surrounding scenery, go sightseeing, or Zhao Feng taught Zhou Tong some knowledge, quietly waiting for Liu Jia and Li Ding’s findings.
The housekeeper seemed to have become a lot more honest and no longer said anything about repaying the money. But the end of the month soon came, and the end of every month was the day to pay back the money.
"Your Highness, Mr. Zhao said he would give you tens of thousands of taels of silver before. I don't know where the silver is. Can you take it out and let me pay it back?"
While Zhao Feng and Zhou Tong were taking care of the vegetables in the garden, the housekeeper and two maids appeared beside them at an inappropriate time.
When Zhou Tong heard this, he looked at Zhao Feng in a panic. Zhao Feng waved his hand and said.
"The money is ready, but first bring over the account book from the house and let me see how much money is owed. Let's just settle it all at once this time!"
The housekeeper raised his eyebrows and directly brought the account book over.
Zhao Feng followed them to the main hall, where there were tables and chairs anyway.
Sitting on Zhou Tong's desk, Zhao Feng carefully looked through the account books, and then couldn't help but sneer.
"Before, Her Royal Highness the Princess only borrowed ten thousand taels of silver, but now it has turned into hundreds of thousands of taels?"
"Do you really think I'm a fool?"
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then said directly.
"This is what others say, and we have no choice. We can only pay back as much as they tell us!"
Zhao Feng sneered, shook his head, and said while holding the account book.
"According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, private loans that are not recognized by the government are not protected by the law, and the interest rate is so high. I can file a complaint against you with the local prefect now!"
After hearing Zhao Feng's words, Zhou Tong suddenly looked at Zhao Feng nervously.
Zhao Feng waved his hand to signal Zhou Tong not to be nervous, and then pointed to other terms on the account book.
"Also, you said that the monthly payment you give each maid is 20 taels of silver. Is it possible that the treatment of your maids here is better than that of the eunuchs in the palace?"
When the housekeeper saw that Zhao Feng was ready to break up, he stopped pretending and looked indifferent.
"These wages have been discussed long ago. If you have any objections, you can sue the government!"
Zhao Feng threw the account book on the table and pointed at the housekeeper.
"Do you really think I don't dare?"
The housekeeper smiled and put his hands on his hips: "Okay, then let Mr. Zhao go to sue the officials and see what the officials will do!"
Seeing her fearless look, Zhao Feng was so angry that his chest heaved, and he turned to look at Zhou Tong and said.
"Your Highness, I originally planned to resolve this matter privately, but now it seems that we may have to go to the government!"
Zhou Tong nodded lightly. At this time, she was really panicked and had no idea. She could only let Zhao Feng handle it.
Zhao Feng directly called Liu Jia and Li Ding with the account book, and the group walked toward Fucheng in a mighty manner.
Arriving at the gate of the prefect's yamen, Zhao Feng asked Liu Jia to go directly to play the drum. Soon a yamen servant came out to ask what happened.
Knowing that they were coming to report to the officials, the government officials quickly called Zhao Feng and the others in.
Soon, Master Sun, the prefect, directly announced that he was going to the court. Zhao Feng took those account books and walked in with Liu Jia and Li Ding.
