Chapter 245

The old and cunning Mr. Cai did not go to take the roster in his hand, "Prince, this roster is a dead thing after all, if you say that only one roster is enough to make a fuss... I am afraid that I will walk out of the prince's house. The hind feet will be buried under the rotten eggs and rotten leaves..."

"Why didn't I realize that Mr. Cai is eloquent before?" Baili Lang snorted, "Come here, find all the people, big and small, from the Prince's residence, so that Mr. Cai can have a look at them one by one."

Those words were squeezed out between the crown prince's teeth. After all, he still underestimated this Mr. Cai.

Mr. Cai, who had been trembling all the time on the way, no longer had the previous fear at this time, he just smiled embarrassingly and then remained silent.

Ji Li was very satisfied with Mr. Cai's performance, and nodded without a trace.

After a while, the huge garden was full of people.

Master Cai was willing to take over the roster of servants at this time, and called the names one by one.

The bird on the tree chirped a few times, and the falcon flapped its wings a few times.

Mr. Cai finally closed the roster severely after reading all the names on the roster.

All the people present matched the names in the roster, no more, no less.

"Jingyang, tell Master Cai and Uncle Bengong everything you know." Baililang said with a dignified look, "One word missing, one person missing, and Bengong will want your head."

This man named Jingyang is probably the steward of the Prince's Mansion. He looks young, about 24 or [-] years old, and he is full of bookishness.

"The prince's mansion has one steward, two counselors, four deputy counselors, 20 first-class guards, 60 second-class guards, 20 first-class maids, 60 second-class maids, 120 third-class and fourth-class servants, 280 in total." Jingyang reported the total number of people in the prince's mansion in one breath, and the roster was also verbatim.

Mr. Cai's forced smile on his face had disappeared when he checked the roster. Now that the crown prince had already prepared everything seamlessly, he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Master Cai, what did you find out?" The prince sat on the recliner calmly, lifted the teacup on the table, and blew on it.

"This..." Mr. Cai didn't know how to answer for a while, he squeezed and squeezed the small book that Ji Li gave to him in his sleeve, and finally looked at Ji Li eagerly.

Ji Li didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, just sat on the sidelines and watched quietly, seeing that Master Cai was a little bit overwhelmed, so he put away his cynical legs and stood up, "Master Cai and Ben The king is only following the order to investigate the case, since there is no one missing from the Prince's Mansion, those who reported the case at the Yamen in the capital must have lied, Mr. Cai, are you right?"

Master Cai looked puzzled, met Ji Li's squinting eyes, and nodded mechanically after a long while, "My lord...Your lord is right."

In fact, Master Cai was also at a loss, why Ji Li suddenly changed the subject, this time he came to the Prince's Mansion, didn't he... Didn't he come to find a clue?
Why did he start to excuse the prince when the topic changed?

Ji Li smiled and said: "Since Lord Cai and this king think so, what are you doing here? Disturbing the purity of the prince, the crime of this king and Lord Cai is really serious."

Mr. Cai immediately said: "Yes, yes, the lord is right. Your Highness, it is a crime for the subordinate officials to come rashly to disturb the prince. Since no one is missing from the Prince's residence, the subordinate officials will leave first. Don't worry, the prince." , Your Majesty must severely punish those who framed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Baililang had heard a lot of high-sounding words, and after a sneer, Baililang said to Jili: "Uncle's attitude, I am surprised by this palace, but you are so blatantly bringing people from the Kyoto Yamen to my Prince's Mansion. , This is spreading, asking who in the government and the public will take the Prince's Mansion seriously?"

"So that's how it is," Ji Li clapped his hands with a look of understanding, "Bring it up."

I saw that under the guidance of the yamen servants, a large group of singers were brought into the Prince's Mansion.

"Has the prince misunderstood this prince and Mr. Cai? I heard that the prince likes music and dance, and this prince just got a team of singers, so I will send them to the prince today. It just so happens that beauties match heroes."

"What are you doing, uncle?" The smile on Baililang's face collapsed in an instant.

No wonder Ji Li is confident, it turns out that he has made all preparations, and it is really shameless to put eyeliner in the prince's mansion so brazenly.

"This group of singers, I spent a lot of effort to find them, the prince must not refuse." Ji Li said with a smile.

Being able to come to the Prince's Mansion, Ji Li naturally made preparations. It is true that these singers are all extremely beautiful, and many of them have shadows from Qianji Pavilion Yingyutang.

Ji Li had already thought that since the crown prince could send people to the Yamen of the capital over and over again, he must have been prepared long ago. When these people came, it was just a formality at most, and Ji Li didn't hug him either. How much hope.

And the people who placed the Yingyutang in the prince's mansion so grandly, naturally didn't expect them to play a big role.

What Ji Li wants is to distract the prince, so that he can take advantage of it.

Under Baililang's gloomy gaze, Ji Li and Master Cai left the Prince's Mansion in a mighty manner.

"Jingyang," Baililang clasped the teacup in his hand firmly, watching the direction of Jili's departure, "Take the singer down, so that I can entertain you."

On the way back to the Yamen of the capital, Mr. Cai yelled more than once, "It's over, it's over, this is the end of offending the prince."

Ji Li ignored Mr. Cai's complaints. It's not that the Prince's House and his party had nothing to gain, but Ji Li was not sure, so he had to go back first and discuss it with Lian Qingcheng, and Gu Hanxun was absolutely indispensable this time.

"My lord, my lord Ji..." Seeing that Ji Li didn't pay any attention to him, Master Cai finally couldn't bear it any longer, "When we come to the Prince's Mansion this time, do we mean we can't beat the fox and make a fuss?"

Ji Liwu stopped in his tracks, Mr. Cai followed behind Ji Li and bumped into him directly.

"You want to go to the Prince's Mansion this time, what do you see?" Ji Li turned around and asked Mr. Cai.

Pained by the bump, Mr. Cai touched the bridge of his nose, and after a while he said in a low voice, "Of course it's the whereabouts of those missing people."

"Hehe," Ji Li laughed out loud, "Lord Cai, you must not have woken up, right? The prince made a trick, and Master Cai sharpened his head and burrowed in. Do you think you have lived too long? "

This time, I went to the prince's mansion for a surprise investigation, but nothing was found. If they still insist on it, the prince can go to the emperor to retaliate against the crime of disrespect. Even if Ji Li is fine, Mr. Cai probably At least peel off the skin.
