Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

After listening to Li Ji's words, Defang shook her head, "Stupid, a moment of greed made a big mistake, the object can be recovered, but the crime has been committed, and the brothers surnamed Xia are so greedy, do you think they will return the object to you? If you know that you are going to report to the police, you might not be able to come out once you enter that house."

Baili knelt down and clutched Li Ji's clothes, "Why are you so stupid! You committed a serious crime, you will be beheaded, what will your family do if you die! They will all be accused and scolded because of you! Li Ji, the prince I'm going to recommend you to be the manager, how can you do this to the prince! You're such a jerk!"

"My lord!" Li Ji cried bitterly, "The little one is convicted, and the little one is guilty of the lord! The little one deserves to die!"

Defang sighed, "Li Ji, if you really repent, then you will go to Kaifeng Mansion to report the case and testify later, and convict the brothers surnamed Xia and Li Jingxing. For your sake, spare your life."

"I'm willing, willing, thank you, my lord, for your kindness!"

"Li Ji" Defang said, "You can have the heart of repentance because of the words of the lonely king. You must not be really greedy for money. Otherwise, you have already done it in the palace all these years. This time you accept the 20 taels. Is there any other reason?"

Li Ji cried and nodded, "Yes, little one."

Jiajun on the side turned his head to look around, then quickly approached Defang and said, "My lord, they are out of the house, let's hide first."

Jia Jun and Baili pulled Li Ji up, and hid with De Fang a little far away. They saw the brothers surnamed Xia driving the carriage to the city again. Seeing them go far away, Jia Jun looked at them, "Your Majesty, you are far away."

Defang and the others walked back, "Li Ji, what are these three going to do?"

"Go back to your lord, they told the little one this morning that they want to sell the items to the caravan going to the border town for trading, maybe they are going now."

"Do you know what caravan it is?"

"I don't know, I just know it's a foreign caravan going out of the city to a border town today."

Defang nodded, "Since it's an out-of-town caravan, it must live in an inn. As long as you know where to stay, it's easy to handle. Let's follow."

Several people followed the brothers surnamed Xia and entered the city again. This time they did not take the avenue, but turned left and right along the side road for a long time, and then stopped in front of an unremarkable small inn on Quyuan Street. When they got down, there were already people waiting in front of the inn. They exchanged a few words, then looked left and right, and soon led them in through the side door. Defang said, "It seems that this is here, Jiajun, you go to Kaifeng right away." The government will bring someone here, hurry up."

"Yes!" Jiajun turned and ran, Baili said softly, "My lord, I don't know how many people are here, why don't we go back to the mansion first."

"Who is watching here when we go back to the mansion? It takes at least an incense stick of time for the people from Kaifeng mansion to arrive every time Jiajun comes back. In case they change places temporarily or someone else comes, we will Good to keep an eye on."

"My lord, these people are so courageous, they even dare to steal anything from the palace."

"Some people regard money as dung, but more people regard money as life. Whether it is ordinary people or officials, as long as they are greedy for money, they will do anything for money." Defang looked at Baili, "just like your uncle Same as back then."

Hearing this, Baili thought that his uncle sold him into the palace as a servant because of the money, and separated from his elder brother. His elder brother's family suffered all kinds of hardships, and finally saved his elder brother Baicheng's only grandson because of Defang. Frowning, with sad anger on his face, "These people who are greedy for money and doing evil should die. God should punish them earlier."
