Chapter 402 You have a puppet...
The general looked at the guard Cai Xinyi standing in the hall with suspicion, and couldn't help rubbing his swollen temples.
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone: "When have you ever been so obedient? You actually listened to a five-year-old kid and put him in a sack?"
Cai Xinyi raised her head and lifted her eyelids, muttering to herself, "General, listen to what you say, are you speaking human language? Didn't you tell me to protect the Fifth Young Lady and obey her orders completely? It's only been a few days, and you've forgotten?"
However, she still replied respectfully on the surface, "General, I was originally responsible for monitoring the Liu family, but I accidentally discovered a suspected spy den, so I came here to report it!"
The general had not yet recovered from the incident of Cai Xinyi putting someone in a sack when he suddenly heard this news.
He couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked in surprise, "Spy nest? You found the spy nest?"
His face was full of disbelief.
Uncle Li Muyang tapped the armrest of his chair lightly with his fingers. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "This is no small matter! We must handle it with caution!"
Second Master Li Muchen gently stroked his chin and offered a suggestion: "The Fourth Master has someone with advanced martial arts skills. You can have him send someone to monitor the situation and report the matter to the court to prevent any further problems."
Fourth Master Li Mufeng took a sip of tea and said slowly, "The expert I have is actually someone the Emperor has placed in the Ministry of Justice to monitor all officials."
Cai Xinyi nodded and said, "Okay, then it's settled. We'll be responsible for attracting their attention directly, and you go and find out their details."
General Li stroked his beard, frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he turned to look at his five sons and said, "This matter must be handled with caution. First, find out where they came from and see what kind of people they are. Then, report it to the emperor as soon as possible and let him make the decision."
Li Muyang frowned and said worriedly, "Even if we spread the word, I'm afraid no one would dare to take over. Officials usually shout slogans loudly, but when they really encounter danger, few have the courage to stand up."
Fifth Master Li Muzi looked at his father and other brothers and said calmly, "Why should we worry about this? The one who should be worried is the Emperor. This is his world, so naturally he has the final say."
"The more you do, the more mistakes you make. Especially for us in the General's Mansion, we can't stand out easily. Once we show up, we will definitely be reported to the police!" Li Muzi gently put down the teacup and said in a firm tone.
General Li stood up, put his hands behind his back, and after thinking for a moment, he said solemnly:
"Boss, after tomorrow's morning court session, report this secretly. This shouldn't be publicized. The Emperor has the final say on what to do. It's hard to tell whether these people in the court are human or ghost..."
Li Muyang nodded in agreement.
Cai Xinyi raised her eyes and said, "I think if the Fifth Miss wants to make a scene, then let her. After all, she's just a five-year-old, so as long as it's not excessive..."
Li Muyu chuckled, "Hehe..."
"Yue'er is such a darling. She's been fooling around, and she's even managed to uncover a spy den. Who would have thought that the Liu family is connected to the spies?"
General Li paced back and forth, "Liu should be their chess piece planted in the Yun Mansion, but this chess piece has begun to backfire!"
Li Mufeng rolled up his sleeves and jokingly said, "It's impossible that every minister's family has spies, right?"
Several people were stunned, "..."
General Li smiled and said, "Then I'd like to trouble our Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice to come and check our General's Mansion and get to know the inside story. Haha, those who are capable should do more work!"
Li Mufeng choked. Isn't this just looking for trouble? "Dad, I have a lot of cases and I'm very busy every day!"
He clasped his hands together and begged his father to let him go!
Cai Xinyi thought for a long time and said, "General, let us female soldiers handle the investigation in the mansion!"
General Li nodded and said, "Find out the suspicious person. If there is no one, don't force it. Just search the mansion!"
"Yes!"
……
Ah Cai sat leisurely on the couch, lying with her head resting on her hands, legs crossed and swaying.
She sank her mind into [Home], and Tong Jiayuan noticed it the moment she entered.
He asked curiously, "Have we returned to the General's Mansion?"
Ah Cai replied with a grin, "Yes! I got a Plane Trader that can be integrated into my second mall."
Tong Jiayuan smiled and said, "That's great news, but this trading device may not be of much use to you. The key lies in the girl from the Liu family. Besides, don't you still have the puppet made by Xu Ruo? You can use it for secret protection."
Ah Cai clapped her hands, suddenly realizing, "Yeah, how could I have forgotten about the puppet? A level three puppet should be equivalent to the strength of a martial arts master, right?"
Tong Jiayuan rolled his eyes helplessly, thinking that his master had so many treasures that sometimes even he would forget about them.
He reminded: "I remember Xu Ruo gave you a dozen puppets. You can bind them yourself, so that it will be more convenient for you to do anything in the future."
Bai Qi strode over with a relaxed smile on his face. He looked at Ah Cai and said jokingly, "If you feel exhausted, quickly summon a hero to help. It would be best if someone like us can lead an army, haha!"
Ah Cai couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard this, and responded, "I'd like to summon Wu Zetian. If she could bring all the officials of the Tang Dynasty, that would be amazing!"
Bai Qi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "How can Wu Zhao be considered a hero? She is an emperor, not a hero."
"If we can really summon an emperor, then of course the First Emperor is the best!" Bai Qi laughed, as if he had already seen the spectacular scene of Qin Shi Huang leading thousands of troops.
Their conversation was full of lightness and banter, as if they were discussing an interesting game.
In this atmosphere, pressure and tension seemed to be thrown away, leaving only mutual understanding and laughter.
Li Xin strolled over and saw several people laughing so hard that they were rolling on the ground. He asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Can't we summon the emperor? Then summon Cao Cao! He was given the title by his grandson, so he should be considered a hero, right?"
When Ah Cai heard this, she shook her head like a rattle and said quickly, "How can I summon Cao Cao? Who would dare? I don't have the guts!"
Bai Qi couldn't help but kick Li Xin and said, "Haven't you read what future generations say about him? The master is just a child, how could he possibly give him orders?"
Li Xin still didn't understand and insisted, "Cao Cao is quite good. Many things are just made up by those writers. Cao Cao is a great hero. Is there any problem he can't solve?"
Tong Jiayuan laughed and said, "I think the master is probably concerned about his reputation as a 'good wife'? The master's mother just got divorced..."
Seeing this, Bai Qi deliberately teased Li Xin: "Taste it, taste it carefully..."
Ah Cai was dumbfounded. Why did they suddenly talk about "good wives"? This topic went too far!
"It's crooked, it's crooked..."
Li Xin was stunned, "Oh my god..."
