lready dead, why are you so obsessed with money"Zhao Ze You spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva on the ground viciously, and shouted frantically: "Lei Nuo Shan is my master, he saved my life back the...Chapter 594: Dazed

Li Yinhu's face was so dark that it could drip water.

At this time, he had no time to argue with Xu Changqing.

The most pressing matter at hand is how to bring things to a close.

Firstly, the East Palace hasn't arrived yet, which is good news.

Next, silver and the people at hand must be dealt with immediately.

Li Yinhu could survive for so long in the cracks, after all, he wasn't a fool.

In a short amount of time, he made his choice immediately.

“Put all the silver back in for me!”

At hearing this order, the guards were also dumbfounded.

So much silver, it's incredibly heavy to move. Carrying it back and forth would wear anyone down, even iron!

I have to work hard one by one, honestly.

They dared not speak out or show it on their faces, but in their hearts, they were all cursing their own prince for acting like an idiot.

"My Lord."

Xu Wei came to Li Yinhu's side and whispered, "Are we sending him back to the Liu family or..."

Li Yinhu frowned and subconsciously said, "Of course, we should take him back to Liu..."

"My lord."

Xu Wei softly interrupted Li Yinhou's words, glanced at Xu Changqing who was struggling to get up from the ground, and said: "Mr. Xu is right here. That blow just now might be difficult to explain, why not just hand over this silver to Mr. Xu."

"When asked later at the East Palace, it can also be said that because of concern that such a large sum of money placed in the Liu family would not be safe, the prince specially went to escort it over. The reason for sending it to the Ministry of Household was just an explanation."

After all, it's better to have something than nothing.

Xu Wei's words made Li Yinhu's expression change. He looked deeply at Xu Wei, said nothing, and turned to walk in front of Xu Changqing.

"Sir Xu."

Li Yin's smile was a tiger skin one - a facade. His flesh didn't smile, but at least he kept up appearances. He softened his tone and said, "Actually, it's all just a misunderstanding."

Xu Changqing let out a cold snort and said, "Misunderstanding Is this also a misunderstanding!"

He then raised his hand from behind him and spread his palm open for Li Yinhǔ to see.

Xu Changqing's palm was stained with a horrifying crimson.

Li Yinhu's face twitched, and he couldn't help but raise his eyelids to look at the guard who had been so eager to help him before. His eyes almost seemed like they could devour him.

The guard, already feeling guilty, became even more terrified and didn't dare meet Li Yinhu's gaze.

But he was also quite wronged inside... It was Li Yinhǔ who said he wanted to be beaten, and to be beaten thirty times with a stick. He had only hit him once.

The pain stimulated Xu Changqing's inner fury, which continued to rise. He ignored Li Yinhu's unsightly expression and said through gritted teeth: "Your Highness speaks of misunderstanding, this lowly official is truly dim-witted and cannot see it."

"Xu Changqing."

Li Yinhu's face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Do you still refuse to apologize to this king"

Xu Changqing sneered, "Not dare!"

If you're not brave enough, then just shut up!

Li Yinhu saw that Xu Changqing wouldn't budge, and he wasn't in the mood to put on a friendly face. He waved his sleeve dismissively and said, "The fact that I'm willing to speak softly to you is already a great favor. If you push your luck further, do you really think the Crown Prince would protect you from me"

Before Xu Changqing could reply, Li Yinhu continued, "This sum of money, this king ordered someone to reload it onto the carriage. You can take it directly back to the Ministry of Revenue. In fact, this king received news a long time ago and knew where this money was going. But a small Liu family, how could they possibly guard such a large sum of money If bandits came, wouldn't it be counterproductive"the actions of a subordinate. Though I am but a lowly official with little influence, I have ambitions in my heart. As an official, I receive the emperor’s salary and serve the emperor. If I cannot fu...
