"You mean the emperor?!"
Everyone was shocked, especially Aunt Zhou. She always thought that the Lu family's incident was caused by being framed by the Wu family, but she didn't expect that it was actually arranged by the emperor!
Zhou Ruiyuan frowned and said sternly to Butler Sun: "You'd better tell me the truth."
Steward Sun's voice trembled as he lowered his head and cried: "Empress, Your Highness, he is really the emperor. He is threatening me with my family. There is really nothing I can do. Mr. Wu did have someone come to see me at the beginning, but I told Mr. Lu about this, and Mr. Lu told the emperor about it, but the emperor did not blame Mr. Wu. Within a few days, the emperor secretly found me and forced me to put the evidence of collaboration with the enemy and treason in the Lu Mansion. inside."
"The master probably guessed that it was the emperor. He found me before he died. I told him the truth, and he told the Lu family where the gold was stored. I secretly ran away with the gold before the officers and soldiers arrived. I felt in my heart I am also grateful to Mr. Lu, if he had not told me to get the gold faster, I would have been silenced by the emperor now."
He cried more and more as he spoke, "I am just grateful to Mr. Lu for saving my life, so this gold has never been used. I was forced to do nothing to harm the Lu family. Now that I use this gold, I am a beast!"
After hearing what he said, Du Wanchun suddenly realized that when Mr. Lu asked Butler Sun to take the gold away, it was not to save him, but mainly to leave a way for his descendants and not to take advantage of the emperor.
Or, there is something special left in the gold.
She thought about it and immediately asked Zhou Ruiyuan, "Ms. sir, where is the gold?"
Zhou Ruiyuan understood what she meant, turned around and took out all the gold in the room.
They had melted the few pieces in the mountain before, and there was nothing in them. It was probably in the remaining gold.
At this time, Aunt Zhou seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly rummaged through the gold, and finally found a piece of gold with a crooked Lu Lu carved on the back.
She held the piece of gold in her hand and said: "The gold pieces in our family all had words that I had to carve with my own hands. When I was a child, I found it interesting, so I engraved one, and that's this piece."
Du Wanchun took the piece of gold away from his hand, looked at it carefully, then made a gap from the base, and then opened the inside along the gap, only to see a key fall out.
"Key?" Butler Sun was suddenly startled.
Zhou Ruiyuan took the key in his hand and asked Butler Sun, "Do you know what you want with the key?"
Butler Sun nodded, "Yes, I know."
Zhou Ruiyuan looked happy and said sternly to him: "Say!"
Butler Sun knelt in the direction of Aunt Zhou and said, "Your Highness, Madam, this key is the Lu family's warehouse."
"Hasn't the Lu family's warehouse been confiscated by the emperor a long time ago?" The third prince said coldly.
Butler Sun looked up at him and said quickly: "Your Majesty, your Excellency had concerns about the Emperor and Master Wu as early as a year ago. Just in case, he found a hidden place outside the capital and moved the warehouse at home. Half of the things are hidden inside, and this key is the key to the warehouse door."
Everyone sighed after hearing this.
Zhou Ruiyuan's eyes were calm, but he didn't completely believe his words. He knelt down and patted his face with a dagger: "How do I know what you said is true? If there had been such a warehouse, you wouldn't have told the emperor earlier."
Steward Sun replied in a hoarse voice: "There is nothing you can do to frame your Excellency. The Emperor doesn't know about this, so naturally he won't ask me where the warehouse is, and I can't take the initiative to tell him."
Zhou Ruiyuan became thoughtful as he listened.
Aunt Zhou stood up slowly and came to him, "Where is the warehouse?"
Butler Sun quickly said: "In Yanyun Mountain in the western suburbs of the capital."
Aunt Zhou nodded lightly, "Okay, we can't believe you for the time being, so we can't let you go. You must stay with us during this period."
Butler Sun stopped struggling and sighed: "That's all. It's my fault. I will pay for it myself. If you want to kill me, then kill me."
Zhou Ruiyuan stood up, took back the dagger, and said coldly: "Don't worry, it will be easier for you if I let you die."
As he spoke, he looked sideways at Aunt Zhou, "Mom, send someone to the Zhu family to spread the word. Tell them that Butler Sun is an old friend of ours and that he will stay at our house for a while."
Aunt Zhou replied: "Okay, I'll go tell Aunt Zhu right now."
After she finished speaking, she walked out of the courtyard.
Zhou Ruiyuan grabbed Sun Butler and locked him in the woodshed in the backyard, and locked him with three or four locks.
After returning from the backyard, Du Wanchun came to him and asked, "My lord, are his words credible?"
