Xiu'er picked up a letter and handed it to Ji Lie.
This letter was naturally written by Li Zhuo. He stated in the letter that he had successfully killed Ji Lie in accordance with the instructions of the recipient.
I also hope that the recipient of the letter will help transfer him back to the capital for his past filial piety!
Although Li Zhuo hadn't had time to sign, Ji Lie didn't know who the other party was.
But just from Li Zhuo's respectful words, it can be seen that the other party's identity is extraordinary!
After reading the letter, Ji Lie was immediately furious!
Li Zhuo, this bitch slave, just deducts money and has a bad attitude towards me!
In order to return to Beijing to take up a post, he actually provided embezzled money to others, and even killed himself according to others' instructions!
More than just a bastard, he is simply a bastard!
"Tell Commander Zhang to throw Li Zhuo's body into a graveyard outside the city and feed it to the dogs!"
Ji Lie said angrily.
After Xiuer left, Ji Lie calmed down and began to think.
Nowadays, the palace is short of money, let alone giving salaries to Zhang Changde and others. In a few days, they may not even be able to afford food!
Following King You, I was hungry for nine meals in three days.
It would be strange if Zhang Changde and others don't rebel when the time comes!
And over in the capital, there is Li Zhuo's mastermind behind the scenes, watching with eager eyes!
Ji Lie is currently in trouble both internally and externally!
It's so hard for me!
Ji Lie rubbed his brows and sighed.
However, although the situation is a bit serious, it is not without a way to break it.
As the saying goes, money is not everything, but without money nothing is impossible!
As long as you can get enough money, all problems can be solved!
As for how to make money, for Ji Lie, it just means:
"Five words floating in the sky are nothing!"
Ji Lie rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, and finally came up with an idea.
He left Li Zhuo's room and soon found Zhang Changde.
"I have met the prince in my humble position!"
Zhang Changde saluted Ji Lie,
"According to the prince's order, I have ordered several of my subordinates to transport Li Zhuo's body to a mass grave outside the city."
"General Zhang did not disappoint me!"
Ji Lie smiled and praised, then took out more than one hundred taels of silver found from Li Zhuo's room.
"Your Majesty, you are too polite. This is what you should do in a humble position."
Zhang Changde thought this was a reward from Yang Ling, so he held the money and pretended to be humble.
Ji Lie blushed, but still said shamelessly,
"Commander Zhang misunderstood. This silver man has other uses."
Hearing this, Zhang Changde's smile froze!
When he co-wrote it, he was showing off his peacock's tail, being so sentimental!
"But don't worry, Commander Zhang. As long as this thing is successful, I will definitely reward you in the future!"
Ji Lie was afraid that Zhang Changde would be unhappy, so he quickly drew a pie for him!
"Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Changde had no choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction and said in a deep voice.
"Please come over here."
Ji Lie hooked his hand and whispered.
After hearing this, Zhang Changde looked suspicious, but he didn't say anything and took the money and left!
After the arrangements were made, as soon as noon passed, I felt sleepy.
Ji Lie estimated that it would take another hour for Zhang Changde to come back, so he planned to take a nap for a while.
"Xiu'er, I plan to take a rest for a while. Remember to call me when Commander Zhang comes back."
"Slave, I obey."
Xiu'er responded, then stood up and walked to the bed to help Ji Lie get up.
Seeing that the bed had been made, before Ji Lie had time to move, he saw Xiu'er taking off her palace robe, revealing her intimate clothes.
"Xiu'er, you...what are you doing?"
Ji Lie almost stared out of his eyes when he looked at her delicate body that had developed to a point where the front and back were curved.
"This slave is sleeping with His Highness. Wasn't it always like this before?"
Xiu'er replied innocently.
Ji Lie then remembered that as a maid, Xiu'er not only had to take care of her daily life, but was also responsible for sleeping at night!
With Xiu'er's help, Ji Lie took off his coat and got on the bed with her.
For a delicate and lovely girl like Xiu'er, in future generations, only the beautiful girl group that fascinates thousands of otakus can rival her.
But now I have to sleep with Ji Lie!
This evil feudal society, I love you!
Ji Lie sighed in his heart, but he held Xiu'er in his arms unceremoniously.
"Your Highness..."
Xiu'er's weak voice came.
"Um?"
"It's nothing. I just feel that His Highness seems to be a little different."
"Oh? What's different?"
Ji Lie asked with a smile.
"My slave can't even tell."
There was a bit of confusion in Xiu'er's beautiful eyes.
Ji Lie couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, Xiu'er, don't think too much. As long as you are alone, no one will bully you again in the future!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Xiu'er bit her red lips, blushed and leaned forward, taking the initiative to kiss Ji Lie.
"You girl, go to sleep."
Ji Lie touched her head.
Maybe it was because Ji Lie's embrace made her feel too safe, or maybe she was too tired. After a while, Xiu'er fell into a peaceful sleep.
But this was a bitter experience for Ji Lie.
He is a normal man, how could he not be distracted while holding such a beautiful girl?
Although at Xiu'er's age, she was already a married woman in this world.
But looking at her childish appearance, Ji Lie was still a little reluctant to do anything.
After all, in the previous life, if someone had done anything inappropriate to Xiu'er, he would have at least been imprisoned!
Ji Lie was thinking wildly, and soon fell into sleep.
Not long after, a gentle call came,
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Ji Lie woke up from his sleep and realized that it was Zhang Changde calling him outside the door.
Glancing at Xiu'er who was still sleeping with a sweet smile on her face, Ji Lie stood up carefully.
He put his robe back on, yawned, and walked out of the room.
"General Zhang is back."
"You deserve to be punished for disturbing your prince's peaceful dream."
Zhang Changde quickly apologized to Ji Lie.
"Okay, I don't need to be so polite in the future, I don't like it."
Ji Lie waved his hand.
Zhang Changde was stunned for a moment, but he felt a little fond of Ji Lie in his heart.
"The things that the prince asked me to buy have been placed in the backyard."
Ji Lie's spirit was lifted.
"Take me there and have a look!"
In the backyard where debris was piled, there were now bags of grain and many bottles and cans.
"There are many grain shops in the city. The grain that the prince wants is easy to buy."
"It's just that the artifact that the prince wants is extremely difficult to make. I found several blacksmith shops before I could make it."
Zhang Changde explained.
Looking at the things placed in front of him, Ji Lie showed a satisfied smile,
"Commander Zhang did a good job!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Changde said modestly, then curiously said,
"I don't understand, I don't understand. What is the use of these utensils?"
