Li Lu soon sneaked into the heavily guarded Prince Jian's mansion, but he didn't dare to be careless at all. After all, he knew very well what consequences would be if it was exposed. This was what Li Lu didn't want to see the least, so he only allowed success and not failure. This time he had a thorough grasp of King Jian's guilt, otherwise the people would continue to suffer.

"Manager Chen, why is there so much tax this month?"

"His Royal Highness Jane, this may be the reason for the storm that affected the fishermen going to sea..."

"Bang!"

King Jian slapped Manager Chen out with a slap. This was not the case that he actually stepped on Manager Chen's hand fiercely. It can be said that only he used a little force to manage Chen's hand would definitely be useless.

"Manager Chen, you think I am a fool. It's because of the storm. Now it's sunny..."

"Your Highness, please spare your life..."

"Give me your life?"

King Jian kicked Manager Chen out again. This time he grabbed Manager Chen’s neck tightly: “I’ll give you a month. If the taxes collected are not as much as last month, I want your whole family to die with you…”

After King Jian finished speaking, he threw away the Manager Chen and left. Not long after he left, the Manager Chen started crying loudly.

"What does a man cry like..."

"Who are you?"

"Save your people!"

This guy actually took out a dagger without saying a word, but he was Li Lu's opponent, so he took the lead in subduing Li Lu.

Li Lu patted his face with a dagger and said, "I'll ask you one answer. If your answer makes me unsatisfied, I'll cut something from you. Do you understand?"

“Woo woo…”

"I forgot, there was still a piece of cloth stuffed."

Li Lu thought for a while and said, "I can take away that cloth, as long as you don't have to yell."

"Wuwuwu..." Manager Chen nodded desperately.

"Okay, okay, I'll take the cloth away, but if you do it randomly..." Li Lu made a move to wipe his neck, and this guy became honest.

Li Lu slapped the dagger and said, "What's your name? What position do you hold in Prince Jian's Mansion?"

"My name is Chen Xing, and I am the butler of Prince Jian's Mansion."

"Butler, then why are you responsible for King Jane's taxes?"

"This is because King Jian needs to know how much money he has at any time and anywhere, and the end this task falls on them, the butlers."

Chen Xing admitted that it was only two or three years since he accepted this housekeeper, but he knew that the butlers in front of him had no good results. If they were either embezzled and bribed and pulled them to jail, or they would have been exiled because of offending King Jian, or they would have been exiled to the army. Anyway, they would either die or be in prison.

"Then why do you still have to be a butler?"

"If you support your family, being a housekeeper is always more than being a steward. Besides, if the accountant makes a mistake, it is not the same that you will die."

Chen Xing expressed his helplessness, but why did he try to do this?

"Be an accomplice for the tiger? Maybe so, but do I have another choice?"

Li Lu smiled and said, "Maybe there wasn't before, but now it has it."

"Now it's there." Chen Xing was a little incredible, but when he saw Li Lu's general seal, he knew that there was such a possibility.

"Who are you?"

"Li Lu, the personal guard of His Highness, is currently the admiral of the Nine Gates..."

Li Lu took the initiative to reveal his identity, which was to win over Chen Xing. After all, only by doing this can you seize the handle of King Jian, otherwise you wouldn't know how to take King Jian down.

"You mean to let me testify against King Jian?"

"That's right!"

"No, I'll die."

Li Lu laughed and said, "Do you think you don't have to die in a month? Besides, your family will lose their lives because of stupidity..."

"Please, I must save my family. As long as you can take my family away, I will promise you everything."

"Okay, one word is certain."

Li Lu found that saving people was not easy. He had to go through several levels just to leave the city. This was not a problem that could be solved by hand warrants alone. In the end, Chen Xing thought of a solution. It turned out that he had a relative who wanted to marry a woman, which happened to leave the city on the grounds of drinking wedding banquets. Although this method was a bit risky, it was also the only way to leave here.

"Is this possible..."

"Oh well!"

Chen Xing's family just brought some simple luggage and got on the carriage. They and Chen Xing had a total of five people. In addition to Chen Xing's wife and son, Chen Xing actually had an old mother who was almost seventy. It seemed that it would not be easy to hide this lineup. They passed two levels in a row, but at the last level, Chen Xing actually met his mortal enemy.

"General Li, the leader guarding the city gate is my rival Li Hao..."

"Chen Xing, it doesn't matter. If I can't get through, I'll just take it."

As Chen Xing expected, Li Hao made things difficult for Chen Xing everywhere. No matter he said he was going to have a wedding banquet, he would not let anyone go without the prince's instructions to leave the city.

"Li Hao, right..."

"Who are you?"

Li Lu ignored him at all, and came to him with a flash step. He grabbed his throat with one move. It can be said that as long as he exerted force, he could break the guy's neck.

"It doesn't matter what I am, but your life is in my hands..."

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to open the city gate. If you don't help, I will break your neck..."

"you……"

Li Lu increased his strength a little, and the guy screamed in pain. This time he was really scared.

"Open the city gate!"

"grown ups……"

The city gate finally opened, but Li Lu was still worried that he would ask this guy to close the city gate after they went out. After all, it would take a lot of time to open this threshold.

"You can leave, but if you chase after me, you should be clear about the consequences..."

After Li Lu said this, he threw the guy aside. He got on the horse and went to chase Chen Xing and his carriage. After a while, the city gate opened, but they saw Li Hao who fainted. This Li Hao was definitely pretending to be dizzy. After all, if it weren't for this, he would probably be unable to escape the blame.

"Sir, you're awake..."

"Quick! Tell Your Highness Jian quickly..."

"No!"

King Jian slaps him as soon as he makes Li Hao dizzy, but he can still barely stand up. Of course, he will tell King Jian that his Highness Chen Xing may be betrayal.
