"You're called Li Yu? Ha, how can such a name be worthy of you? In this King's opinion, you should be called Li Tiandan! How dare you! "Xiao Yunyi narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at this useless piece of mud by his feet.
Faced with the thunderous anger, Li Yu finally stopped being stupid and slapped his own face again and again, leaving purple marks on his face as he wailed, "I beg Your Highness to forgive me, I beg Your Highness to forgive me, I beg Your Highness to forgive me. This commoner knows that I was wrong, it was this commoner who was stupid and was blinded by lard to do such a stupid thing. This commoner left a chance for the thief to take advantage of and create such a big disaster, but … this commoner really didn't do it on purpose. This commoner was sick with leprosy and couldn't go out to deliver the goods, so I asked someone else to do it … Who knew, who knew … this commoner really didn't do it on purpose. It was that bastard Liu Laosan who harmed me! He is the main culprit! Your Highness, quickly go catch him! "
In this situation, this person was still full of excuses. Ning Shu frowned in disgust, "People who have leprosy, if it's mild, will have patches on their skin or skin lesions like papules. If it's serious, the skin will be uneven, accompanied by hair loss, thick lips, a lion-like face, and even deformed limbs. If you really had such a serious disease, how could there be no traces on the back of your hands and neck? You're clearly lying! "
Li Yu was about to quibble when he was interrupted by Ning Shu. She really didn't have time to listen to his nonsense, "Also, if you really were sick and couldn't serve the Imperial Family, according to the rules of the Ministry of Revenue, you should immediately report to the Ministry of Revenue and change the vegetable vendor, instead of deceiving your superiors and subordinates! You specifically told Liu Laosan to dress up as you, and even lowered your voice when you spoke, saying your usual catchphrase. If I hadn't accidentally heard that Liu Laosan was wearing a bamboo hat when he delivered the food in the evening when it was dark, I would have been fooled by you. I don't think you're stupid, it's clear that your conscience fell into your eyes for money! We don't have time to beat around the bush with you. If you don't tell us the truth, today your head will be left here to be buried with the late Emperor! "
Ning Shu's words hit the ground, making Li Yu's soul almost leave his body. He cried out, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you! This commoner has confessed everything … "
It turned out that after Li Yu was elected as an imperial merchant five years ago, his status as a vegetable merchant in the capital had soared to the sky. When the people heard of his reputation, they all rushed to order food from him. Over time, he naturally became too busy, and the seven or eight workers under him were not enough. Hiring new workers would naturally be a waste of money, but he couldn't bear to not earn that large sum of money. Thus, one night, he came up with a plan. It would be better to secretly assign the work at hand to other small vegetable farmers. Every day, they would deliver melons and vegetables for him. This way, he wouldn't have to spend a single tael of silver, and he wouldn't have to waste any effort. Every day, he could just sit at home and drink tea while waiting for them to deliver large sums of money. Beautiful, beautiful. Liu Laosan was one of the vegetable farmers who worked with him. He was in charge of the mausoleum and the other two restaurants.
After confessing his good deeds, Xiao Yunyi wasn't willing to let this kind of trash dirty his eyes. He ordered for them to be sent to prison, and sent people to arrest Liu Laosan and his wife.
Ning Shu didn't think that those two scumbags, Ling 'er's adoptive parents in name, would actually have such a large connection with the Imperial Mausoleum. It was really beyond her imagination.
Xiao Yunyi said, "From the looks of it, it's very likely that Liu Laosan took the opportunity to sneak into the Imperial Mausoleum the night before to do something to the stone tablet. The next day, after the heavy rain, the bricks collapsed, exposing the stone tablet. But, how did he do it with the Blood Lotus Inscription and the broken finger? Could it be that he also did something else? "
