Ye Yu turned a deaf ear and ordered his men in a deep voice: "Search."
It was mid-afternoon, and Hongxingyuan was deserted again, so there were not many customers.
Aunt Roy naturally did not dare to disobey her order and watched the guards go upstairs with a grimace.
After a while, more than ten people were brought downstairs in disheveled clothes. They were all of a certain age. Their faces were full of displeasure when they were disturbed, and they dared not speak in anger in the face of swords. They looked very vulgar.
The last person was still cursing when he came downstairs. When he saw Ye Yu, his face turned pale and he buried his head and stopped talking.
The flower girls also went downstairs, kneeling in a state of uneasiness.
"Sir, everyone is here." The leading guard said, cupping his fists.
Ye Yu pursed his lips in agreement, squinted his eyes, walked slowly to the dumbfounded man, and sneered: "Master Li, what a coincidence, I meet you here who are sick at home. What a surprise to me."
"Your Majesty, I'm a humble minister..." Mr. Li was trembling all over, and there was cold sweat on his forehead. Why was he carrying it so hard? He could still encounter this evil star when he went to a brothel.
This person was none other than Li Xian, the third-rank minister of the current dynasty. He was originally an uneducated person, but because of his close relationship with the Hua family, he had just taken up a casual position on the recommendation of the Grand Tutor.
What's more coincidental is that the Hua family helped him because he was Hua Yunyue's mother, the brother of the second wife of the Taifu Mansion.
In other words, this Master Li is Ye Yu's concubine and Hua Yunyue's biological uncle.
Because of the reputation of the Grand Tutor, Li Xian is like a fish in water in the officialdom. However, this person is a helpless man with little ability to do things. He often cheats and cheats. He just took a leave of absence in the past few days and lied about being ill, but...
I don’t want to go to the land of fireworks for fun.
He thought to himself that Hongxingyuan was not as good as before, and he was here during the day, so he would not be exposed. He never thought that Ye Yu would come back here at this time.
This is the crime of deceiving the emperor. I am afraid that even the Taifu will not be able to protect himself. Besides, the old fox is very cunning and must protect himself wisely.
"Sir, according to my subordinates' opinion, Master Li is here to look for remedies, right?"
The man who spoke was named Zuo Yan, who was the commander of Ye Yu's bodyguards. His resolute and handsome face had a hint of sarcasm, making it clear that he wanted to embarrass Li Xian even more.
"Your Majesty, spare my life. I am aware of my sin." Li Xian turned pale and knelt down to kowtow. "Please, Your Majesty, for the sake of my niece Yunyue, please spare me this time and never report it to Your Majesty."
Ye Yu remained calm, squatted down and said with a half-smile, "Since you are Yue'er's uncle, then..."
He dragged out his voice, and under Li Xian's hopeful eyes, he said slowly: "Then you should know my king's temper. How can I spare you?"
"Your Majesty understands the righteousness well, and there is no need to take this humble minister seriously, turn a blind eye, and let him go back to the palace. The prince will dispatch him one day, and he will die without mercy." Li Xian thought, and added.
It’s a hard-fought bow.
Hearing this, Zuo Yan's eyes flashed with disdain.
Ye Yu smiled instead of being angry, but his expression made people feel terrified, "Your Majesty, do you want me to bend the law for personal gain?"
"Wei Chen didn't mean that." Li Xian was shocked. Everyone in the imperial city knew that Prince Rui was a disbeliever. What did he mean by that?
"Then what do you mean, sir?" Ye Yu sneered, and without waiting for Li Xian's reply, he said in a deep voice: "Deceiving the emperor is a serious crime that affects the nine clans. Sir, please take care of yourself. Zuo Yan, give me a lift."
"I obey," Zuo Yan grabbed Li Xian on the ground, "Sir, please."
