Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 555: The Butler of Prince Ying's Mansion, the Two Brothers of Beigou Dacang

The person who came in was the demon spirit.

He had just been playing the game of "You punch me and I punch you" with Shadow on the deck.

The shadow he had just hit kept begging for mercy. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a man in fancy clothes running to the bottom of the boarding ladder and trying to get close to Zhang Huan and Li Lang.

Because he was standing relatively close, Mo Ling clearly heard the man claiming to be the steward of Prince Ying's mansion.

"It seems that Yuan Qi can't sit still anymore."

Wu Yanhao happily ate three big meat buns and was in a good mood.

"You can hold him back for a while, and then let him come up."

"If you need to extort some money, then extort some. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still a piece of meat."

"Of course, I'm reminding you this because if Qiao Tai was here, he would have gone over and collected some money himself."

Li Cunxi said this while stuffing meat into his mouth.

This morning's eight side dishes included chicken, duck, goose, beef, lamb, fish, a dish of green vegetables and a plate of lettuce.

He was accustomed to this kind of treatment and would eat any meat he saw.

However, his physique seems to be quite special. He has been eating a lot for several years but his body has not swelled at all.

The evil spirit understood Li Cunxi's meaning, walked out of the boathouse, and tried to stop him outside. Finally, he took 10,000 taels of silver and let the steward of Prince Ying's mansion in.

The steward of Prince Naying's palace entered the ship building and glanced at each of the three officials inside.

He only knew that Li Cunxi was very young, so he easily ruled out the unshaven Lu Dayou.

Finally, his eyes moved between Li Cunxi and Wu Yanhao, but he couldn't tell which one was Li Cunxi, so he just knelt down and kowtowed.

"I am Yuan Lu, the steward of Prince Ying's Mansion. I am honored to meet His Royal Highness Duke Qin and all the gentlemen."

Li Cunxi had a blank expression on his face and continued to eat as much as he could.

Wu Yanhao glanced at Yuan Lu from the corner of his eye and asked:

"Butler of Prince Ying's Mansion?"

"What are you doing here?"

Yuan Lu thought Wu Yanhao was Li Cunxi, and kowtowed quickly:

"Your Highness, Duke Qin, I am following the orders of Prince Ying and am here to deliver the invitations to you all."

"Please do me the honor of coming to Prince Ying's mansion for a banquet at noon on October 29th."

"My master wants to entertain you all and make friends with you."

Wu Yanhao showed an expression of watching a show. He put down the chopsticks in his hand, and the mockery in his eyes was revealed without any concealment.

They have been in Yangzhou for several days, and they were even more ostentatious yesterday. The steward of Prince Ying's mansion invited them to a banquet, but he didn't even know who Li Cunxi was.

This is really interesting.

Li Cunxi finally finished his meal. He wiped his mouth with a towel, turned his head to look at the housekeeper of Prince Ying's Mansion who was kneeling on the ground, and smiled coldly.

"Who are you calling Your Highness?"

The butler was suddenly struck by lightning. He looked up in disbelief at Li Cunxi, who was eating in an extremely ugly manner.

"I'm really shocked. A Duke of a state eats in such an unrefined manner. Someone who doesn't know you would think you're a rough guy."

He recognized the wrong person, and the real person was a vengeful person. What should he do?

Countless thoughts suddenly surged in the mind of housekeeper Yuan Lu. After thinking over and over again, he still didn't know how to make up for his mistake.

After a long time, he gritted his teeth and began to kowtow decisively.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

"I am blind and did not recognize Your Highness, so I made a mistake. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"

Li Cunxi stood still: "Go back and tell His Royal Highness Prince Ying that I, Li Cunxi, will definitely attend the banquet."

"Yes, Your Highness. I will go back and inform the head of the family right away."

Yuan Lu turned around, not daring to say another word, and left in a hurry.

When the demon spirit saw him leaving, he walked into the ship's tower and looked towards Li Cunxi.

Li Cunxi took a sip of tea and gestured to the evil spirit. The evil spirit understood what he meant, left the boathouse and followed him.

After more than half an hour, the evil spirit turned back and bowed to Li Cunxi.

"got it?"

"Ahem, I got another box of jewels."

"Give some to Shadow, and the rest is yours."

"Row."

……

It's getting late.

Beigou warehouse.

The brothers Peng Chun and Peng Qiu sat and chatted with hundreds of water ghosts.

Ever since the "great plan" was shelved, they had not gone into the water to salvage official salt for quite a while, so they had been quite idle.

Peng Chun held a long thin tube in his mouth and blew it.

Peng Qiu sat aside and said, "Brother, when can we continue working?"

"Now that there is no work, the three brothers have no money to spend on the boat to find women."

Peng Chun shook his head and stopped talking.

"Brother, you have to know that we are risking our lives here. If we are caught, we will be beheaded. It is better to be idle."

Peng Qiu was indignant.

These days, nothing is bigger than money.

If they don't work, where will they get the money to eat and drink?

As the captain of the water ghost team, he is in charge of so many water ghost brothers. How can he win their support without money?

The "great plan" has been shelved until now, and the food for him and his brothers has become much worse. They used to have meat once a day, but now they only have meat once every two or three days. The difference is too great.

How could Peng Qiu, who was used to a life of debauchery, survive this kind of life!

"Just stay here and wait for Li Cunxi to leave, then we can continue with the plan."

The prospect of this job is not bad. Peng Chun has already seen the bright future of Li Cunxi and his family becoming rich after he leaves Yangzhou.

However, stupid Ou Doudou and Peng Qiusang could not possibly see this beautiful side.

He just felt that after Li Cunxi came to Yangzhou, they did not make a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Peng Qiu cursed in a low voice: "This damn Li Cunxi, Wu Yanhao and his gang, why did they come to Yangzhou?"

"It's just the emperor's order. Can't you just disobey it?"

"If the emperor can't send them out, he will definitely send other officials. If other officials disobey his orders, wouldn't that be even better?"

"No one is willing to investigate this case. What else can the emperor do to them?"

"Don't they know that the law does not punish everyone?"

"Why don't all of you just disobey orders and come to Yangzhou to investigate the case? You are a bunch of slaves."

Peng Qiu was full of foul language and never said a single nice word.

He is an extremely selfish person and he thinks everyone in the world should give way to him.

It was not easy for him to make money with his "great plan", and the bulk of the money did not belong to them brothers, but the damn court insisted on sending people.

As the saying goes, blocking someone's financial path is like killing his parents. The imperial court and Li Cunxi were in such a state that Peng Qiu wished he could kill everyone in the imperial court and drown Li Cunxi and his gang in the water of the Han Canal.

"Don't talk nonsense, or someone will tell you and chop off your head!"

Peng Chun quickly took action and covered Peng Qiu's mouth.

His brother was a living wall of sand, but he wasn't.

He didn't want to be involved in the Nine Clans Elimination Game because of his brother's nonsense.

Peng Qiu pushed Peng Chun's hand away: "Brother, am I wrong?"
