Chapter 529 The Butler

Whether the late emperor was free or busy, for Liu Hanlin, there was one thing he was certain.

Unless Liu Hanlin's mind was flooded, he would never use the ingot of tax silver for the thirteenth year of Jian'an to blame others.

Official silver is rare, and even rarer thirty years ago.

Whether Li Shaobai took the initiative to hand over or was searched out forcibly, it will attract attention. What happened to the Guangping position in the 13th year of Jian'an will inevitably be brought up.

Although the blood shed from the case has already dried up, Wang Zhanlu is still alive now.

Once it is found out that Mr. Liu is the one who missed the case, let alone a marriage with the prince, even the entire Liu family will be implicated.

If Liu Hanlin knew that there was such an inch of official silver hidden in his home, he would either bury the silver underground forever or melt it and recast it. However, the latter is unlikely. It is not easy to melt the silver, and it will be easily found.

No matter which one it is, this will not be the case now.

By the way, who was the first person to go to Xiaoqianyuan to search? It’s not Captain Yin!

Hua Jingyao thought of someone.

She smiled at Captain Yin and said, "Catch someone."

Captain Yin was stunned. He had already arrested several of them, who else should he arrest? Could it be that he wanted to arrest the prospective princess Miss Liu?

He dared not!

Hua Jingyao obviously guessed what he was thinking, and said helplessly: "It's not Miss Liu, it's Butler Liu."

Captain Yin breathed a sigh of relief, but became confused again. What's the matter with Butler Liu?

That butler Liu is really a good person. Today he has been running around, serving tea and water, and helping to find people. He is more sensible than Liu Hanlin, the master.

But Miss Hua asked Mr. Liu to arrest him, and Chief Yin must arrest him.

No, this is a habit.

Captain Yin doesn’t study much, but he knows two things deeply. One is that if he wants to make contributions, he must follow Miss Hua; the other is that if Miss Hua doesn’t do what he ordered, then he won’t think about making contributions!

However, beyond the expectation of Captain Yin, butler Liu was not surprised to see him arresting people, and he was calm and calm: "Here, okay, let's go."

Hua Jingyao was playing with the official silver in her hand. When she saw Butler Liu, her first sentence was: "This is not Liu Lao Gong's thing, but yours, right?"

"Yes." Butler Liu smiled, not surprised Miss Hua's question.

"Are you surprised?" Hua Jingyao asked.

"It's no surprise that you can come to me." Butler Liu calmed down.

"Dare you ask about your surname?" Hua Jingyao asked again.

Captain Yin was confused. Is Butler Liu not his surname Liu?

But Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Xiao Ke's surname is Wei."

"Ling Zun worked in Guangping Warehouse, Hezhou in the past?" Hua Jingyao asked.

"When you say that, the person who worked in Guangping Cang, Hezhou in the past was not his father, but Xiao Ke's grandfather. His grandfather was the ambassador of Cang Cang in Hezhou at that time." said Liu Butler.

Hua Jingyao nodded: "That's right, it's been thirty years, so it should be Lingzu, not Lingzun."

"Yes, it's been thirty years, Xiaoke has finally waited for today." Butler Liu sighed.

"You threw this silver into the small yard?" Hua Jingyao asked.

"Yes, it was Xiaoke who threw it away." Butler Liu replied.

"Was this picture of a hundred years? Did you stolen it from Liu Laogong or Liu Hanlin gave it to you?" Hua Jingyao asked.

"If you want to go back to your words, the Baishou Picture is Liu Laogong's thing. Liu Hanlin gave it to Xiaoke and asked Xiaoke to throw it into Xiaoqianyuan. However, Xiaoke added some of his thoughts and threw an extra ingot of silver." Liu Hanlin said.

Hua Jingyao sighed and said, "I think you are not old, you are only in your thirties. How many years have you been in the Liu family?"

"Xiao Ke is forty years old this year. When his grandfather was executed, Xiao Ke went to see it. Xiao Ke was under thirteen years old at that time, and the emperor's kindness was great. The female family and male under thirteen years old were not in charge. Xiao Ke saved his life. The official silver was handed over to his mother by his grandmother's hand, and later to Xiao Ke. The grandfather once told his grandmother that this case was not his own business of Guangping's position. The people who closed the position in Guangping did not have such courage. The official master of Hezhou Prefecture was the mastermind. The minor officials of Guangping's position were just scapegoats, but the officials cleared the evidence completely.

Jing, no one believed what his grandfather said, and the judge named Wang was even more obedient and believed that Liu was from a poor family, and was grateful for his kindness and was upright and selfless. His grandmother asked God to worship Buddha, hoping that God would open his eyes and punish the evil people. But they did not wait until that day when they died. Liu retired and died. His son had a smooth career and a prosperous official career. So Xiaoke didn't want to wait any longer, so Xiaoke sold himself and sold it to the Liu family several times. His background had been clean. No matter how they checked, they could not find Xiaoke's identity."

Speaking of this, Mr. Liu changed the subject and said, "Xiao Ke did not intend to blame those tenants. Xiao Ke knew that as long as this official silver appeared in the world, it would definitely attract attention. The case where those tenants often closed their positions was not related, so they would definitely not be implicated."

"Well, I know this, by the way, you have been looking for it for so many years, but is there any evidence?" Hua Jingyao asked.

"Yes, but this case has been covered with dust for a long time, Xiaoke..." Butler Liu sighed.

"It's okay, when the case is settled, I will send you to Dali Temple. If Dali Temple doesn't accept it, I will send you to Feiyuwei. There will always be someone to take on this case." Hua Jingyao was calm and composed.

She didn't believe it anymore. Wang Zhanlu's unyielding temperament would watch Feiyuwei re-invest the case he exposed that year?

Even if the case was wrong, he would have to overthrow himself instead of letting Feiyuwei slap him in the face.

Butler Liu knelt down with his clothes and said, "Xiao Ke represents Miss Xie Hua of the Wei family!"

"You don't have to thank me for now. Go to Captain Yin and record the confession of what happened last night." Hua Jingyao said.

"Miss Hua, please rest assured. Xiaoke will tell you what you see and hear in detail." Butler Liu was so proud. Although the case had not been retried that year, he had already seen the dawn.

Half an hour later, Liu Hanlin and Mrs. Liu were both taken to Hua Jingyao. Both of them said nothing. Hua Jingyao smiled slightly and said, "I have something to do, so please help me solve my doubts."

Seeing that the two of them still didn't say anything, Hua Jingyao smiled and continued to say to herself: "If Mr. Liu dies like this, even if we can't catch the murderer or mistakenly catch a good person, the marriage between Miss Liu and the second prince will definitely be delayed. Is it not worth the effort for you to do this? Are you unable to wait for a year or two?"

At most, in another year or two, the marriage between Zhao Qian and Liu Caishu will be settled, and maybe they will be married by then.

Wouldn't it be better to wait until Liu Caishu becomes the prince's concubine and let Liu Lao Gong die?
