Lai Junchen's cruel gaze made Yu Ming collapse instantly. He was so scared that he burst into tears, "I'll do it, I promise."

Lai Junchen sneered. He saw countless people. Little people like Yu Ming were like ants to him. If it weren't for the purpose of pinching Li Guangshun, why would he have to take action himself?

“That’s right”

Lai Junchen patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Everyone says that I am ruthless, but I am not stingy to reward those who are willing to cooperate with me."

He turned around and waved his hand, "Cook it up"

A subordinate brought a plate of gold, twenty taels per ingot, which was as many as ten. Lai Junchen narrowed his eyes and smiled, "These two hundred taels of gold are just a little hard-earned money. After the matter is done, I will have at least ten times the reward. I will never treat the people who do things for me unfairly."

The shining gold shone Yu Ming's eyes. He swallowed his saliva and looked greedy in his eyes. This was two hundred taels of gold, equivalent to two thousand guan of coins, and it was a reward of ten times afterwards. He could not think about it anymore. At this moment, all the brother-sister relationships and the master-servant relationships were left behind by him. Lai Junchen's use of both soft and hard work completely subdued him.

Lai Junchen saw the greed in his eyes and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He dared to take him back Lai Junchen's gold and was simply impatient to live. He might as well let him do his job well first and then deal with him after finishing his work.

Lai Junchen asked him to sit down again and asked quietly: "You are very familiar with the situation in the royal palace. Tell me when will I do what I will explain?"

Yu Ming lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "I'll discuss it with my sister and ask her to encourage the prince to go to the manor. I guess it may take a few days."

Lai Junchen could not wait for a few days. He immediately said, "These two days are sunny, and the day after tomorrow, Li Guangshun must go to the manor."

Yu Ming felt very bitter. He was not responsible for the manor, but he asked the butler to arrange it. That bastard was so smart. It was not that easy. But he didn't dare not refuse to agree, so he nodded helplessly and said, "The villain will do the things well."

Lai Junchen's best move is called "indirect attack", which means starting from the target's surroundings, finding the people around the target, threatening and tempting, and then using this person to find the target's weaknesses or loopholes and breaking them in one fell swoop.

Junchen has tried this trick many times and has never failed. He also believes that with Yu Ming as his inner support, he will definitely be able to open the gap in the Xingtang Association from Li Guangshun.

The reason why Li Guangshun was selected was because Lai Junchen received a secret report. On the third day after Li Zhen returned from Yangzhou, he met Li Guangshun. He did not realize until later that Li Zhen must have returned the letter he received from Li Yuanjia to Li Guangshun. Then, as the legitimate family of the royal family, Li Guangshun must be the core figure of the Xingtang Association.

Perhaps it was because of the innocent death of the former crown prince Li Xian, Wu Zetian felt very guilty about his son after he firmly sat in the throne. In order to compensate for her once loved son, she gave Li Xian's son Li Guangshun endless wealth, 500 households, 5,000 hectares of fertile land, and countless gold, silver and jewelry, making Li Guangshun one of the richest people in the royal family.

Li Guangshun has three large manors, one in Taiyuan, one in Guanzhong, and the other near Longmen Mountain in Yique, Luoyang. Every summer, Li Guangshun takes his wife and children to Longmen Mountain Manor to escape the summer heat.

It was June and it was already midsummer. The weather was getting hotter and hotter day by day. According to the plan, Li Guangshun's family would go to Longmen Manor ten days later. However, Li Guangshun's favorite concubine, Yu, repeatedly asked to set off in advance. Li Guangshun, who had always been soft-hearted, had to advance the departure time to two days later as the concubine's request.

Although the plan changed, the whole family did not object. After all, the weather was too hot, and everyone was looking forward to going to the cool Longmen Mountain one day earlier, but it was a big trouble for the butler. He had no time to go to Longmen Mountain so early.

The steward of the royal mansion was Liu Changqing, who was about fifty years old. He was originally the steward of the former crown prince Li Xian. He was loyal to Li Xian and shrewd. When Li Xian was forced to commit suicide eleven years ago, he entrusted his eldest son Li Guangshun to Liu Changqing. From then on, Liu Changqing tried his best to take care of Li Guangshun and became the steward of the royal mansion. Li Guangshun also trusted him very much and handed over all his property to him for care.

However, Liu Changqing was extremely disgusted with the new third steward Yu Ming. Yu Ming was a low-born person, despicable and cunning person, and was greedy and selfish. Liu Changqing had already obtained a lot of evidence that Yu Ming was greedy for money and goods in the royal palace, including the price of him two days ago, which was five times more expensive than the best pipa. It was extremely greedy.

However, the prince loved Yu very much and ignored Liu Changqing's accusations, which made Liu Changqing very depressed. Seeing that the prince's family was going to the manor to escape the summer heat tomorrow, Liu Changqing was so busy that he didn't even have time to complain.

He had asked the second housekeeper to take a dozen servants to the manor to clean up first, while he himself was responsible for the various departure preparations in the mansion. In the yard, Liu Changqing was commanding dozens of maids to pack his luggage. At this time, a servant hurried over and whispered in Liu Changqing's ear. Liu Changqing frowned, "You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, isn't it true?"

"It must be true. We all saw with our own eyes that the ten ingots of gold in Huang Chengcheng were 200 taels. He also showed off to everyone that he would soon get another 100 ingots of gold."

Liu Changqing was very surprised. Although he knew that Yu Ming was very greedy and had made a lot of money in a few months, he would not have as much as 200 taels of gold. Even if it was rewarded by the prince, he had to go through his own hands. The key is that with Yu Ming's good character, these gold must have been obtained just now.

Besides, the prince only gave Yu a lot of jewelry and jewelry. He saw these jewelry just now at Yu. So where did Yu Ming get so much money? He also needs a hundred ingots of gold. What's going on?

Liu Changqing is an extremely smart person and very responsible person. He thinks there must be something wrong with this. Yu repeatedly asked the prince to go to the manor, and Yu Ming got a lot of gold. Is there anything wrong with the two?

He pondered for a moment, then quickly walked to the backyard and asked someone to find Chunye, the maid in Yu's room. This maid was the fake daughter of Liu Changqing's wife. He almost brought him up and regarded him as his father. After a moment, Chunye hurried over and said with a smile: "Dad, is there any trouble to find me?"

"Chunye, I'll ask you something, why does Mrs. Yu have to go to the manor tomorrow? Do you know the reason?"

Chunye curled his mouth, "Isn't this Yu San trying hard to instigate him? The wife is an honest man, so how could she make such a request? But Yu San stole the wife for a long time. When he heard that if he didn't go, the whole family would die. Mrs. Yu had no choice but to agree to him."

Liu Changqing suddenly realized that he felt that Mrs. Yu had always been low-key, so how could she make such a request to not be polite to be affectionate? It was indeed Yu Ming who was encouraging her wife.

Liu Changqing realized that there was something wrong with it, so Yu Ming tried his best to encourage the master to go to the manor to escape the summer heat, and for this, he also got 200 taels of gold. There must be some evil intentions hidden here.

Liu Changqing went to find the prince anxiously, but unexpectedly, his family told him that the prince had gone to Miao Music House and might not be able to come back in the evening. Liu Changqing could not wait until the evening. He immediately got on a carriage from the royal palace and rushed to Miao Music House.

Miaoyinfang is also located near Nanshi. It is one of the three most famous music shops in Luoyang. There are many musicians and craftsmen in the shop. They have always been a favorite place for princes and powerful people. Even if the palace holds grand events, they should be invited to entertain themselves.

Liu Changqing was anxiously wandering outside the Lefang. His identity was that he could not enter the Lefang at will, so he could only spend money to ask the Lefang servant to come in and notify the owner.

After waiting for half an hour, I finally saw a carriage coming out. The carriage stopped in front of Liu Changqing. There were two people sitting in the carriage, one of whom was his master, and the other was Li Chongrun, the eldest son of the King of Luling.

"Best steward, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?" Li Guangshun asked with a smile.

"Report to Master, there is something wrong in the mansion, can you?" Liu Changqing glanced at Li Chongrun and whispered.

"It doesn't matter. This is my brother. Just say anything."

Liu Changqing had no choice but to whisper: "I don't know who gave Yu Ming two hundred taels of gold to encourage his owner to escape the heat in the manor immediately. I think there is something wrong with it, and I'm afraid someone will be unfavorable to the owner."

"Who will be against me?"

Li Guangshun smiled and said, "You are too suspicious. I was going to go to the manor to escape the summer heat, so it has nothing to do with him."

"But--"

Liu Changqing wanted to say it again, but Li Guangshun no longer wanted to listen to it anymore. He came to him for this little thing and swept his interest. He was simply fussy. He was a little unhappy and said coldly: "I'll set out tomorrow, why don't you go back and clean up."

"I'm going back now."

Liu Changqing had no choice but to sigh, turned around and wanted to leave, but Li Chongrun stopped him, "Butler Liu wait a moment."

Liu Changqing came back and bowed and said, "Young Master, please give me some instructions if you have something to do."

Li Chongrun has experienced a lot of things recently and is much more vigilant than Li Guangshun, who is smooth sailing. He asked Li Guangshun: "Who is this Yu Ming?"

"I am my beloved concubine's brother. He is pretty good and smart. He is a little bit greedy for small gains, but it's okay."

"My brother, it's not that I'm too troublesome. If I really want Butler Liu to say this, I can get two hundred taels of gold. I think it's a bit abnormal. It's better to ask, don't be someone who wants to be unfavorable to me."

Li Guangshun thought about it and shook his head and said, "It would be fine if it was an ordinary person, but it was my concubine's brother. How could I ask him? Unless there is any evidence, and if I go to my own manor, what will happen? I think Butler Liu is still thinking too much."

Liu Changqing was eager to protect his master and couldn't help but say, "Why would you do this? I'll investigate it. If there is really any problem, I'll report it again."

Li Guangshun was very annoyed and waved his hand, "Then you go."
