Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 70 The Chief Butler of Prince Ji’s Mansion

Everyone looked outside and saw a dozen people coming into the courtyard, followed by a carriage. The leader is tall, wearing a futou, a round-neck narrow-sleeved robe, a leather belt around his waist, black boots, and a long knife on his waist. The dozen or so people behind him were also wearing tight-fitting black uniforms and each carried a sword. The person who came was none other than Xue Rengui and his guards. The color of their clothes was still requested by Li Shen.

"I don't know who you are and why you are here. I am the head of this village. If something happens to you, I will try my best to help you." The village chief Zhao Chengde could tell at a glance that these guards were extraordinary. The clothes are made of fine cloth and are durable. The guards all wear such expensive cloth, this family is definitely rich or noble.

"Oh, I didn't know this was Wei Fugui's family." Xue Rengui didn't know the specific relationship between the village chief and Wei Fugui. So he asked in a friendly manner.

"This... I wonder what your relationship is with Wei Fugui." Zhao Chengde felt a little bad. He knew there was someone in Wei Fugui Palace. But I don’t know who it is.

As soon as Xue Rengui heard this, he knew that this was Wei Fugui's family. He ignored Zhao Chengde and went directly into the house. After entering the house, he saw several police officers about to shackle Wei Fugui.

"May I ask who is Wei Fugui?"

Wei Fugui looked at Xue Rengui, he didn't recognize this person. I don’t know why I’m looking for myself. But suddenly he thought of what Concubine Wei had sent to him a year ago. He quickly said: "I am Wei Fugui. I don't know what a strong man would do with Wei."

Xue Rengui saw that Wei Fugui had been locked up by the government officials. He asked, "I wonder what Wei Fugui has committed?"

"The evidence of robbery and wounding is conclusive. You don't need to worry about it." Captain Sun knew that the other party was not simple just by looking at his clothes. But after all, he is also an official in the county.

"No, it was Zhao Kui who molested the peasant girl first. The husband-in-law got into a fight with Zhao Kui and was injured by Zhao Qi. It was the peasant woman who took action to injure Zhao Qi, but Zhao Qi first reported the matter to the officials to arrest the husband." Ms. Liu quickly defended herself. He also saw how extraordinary Xue Rengui was. Think again of the noble person your husband mentioned.

"Oh. In that case. Then leave this person to me." Xue Rengui was ordered by Li Shen to find someone today. Of course we can't mess it up.

"Hmph, who are you? You dare to interfere in government affairs." Sun Captou said to Xue Rengui in a cold voice.

"You see for yourself." Xue Rengui didn't talk nonsense to his little catcher and just threw his badge to him. They are now the guards of Prince Ji's Mansion. He is the commander of the bodyguards and is in the seventh rank. A badge issued only after registration with the government.

Sun Captou took the badge and looked down. On the front were the words "Prince Ji's Mansion" and on the reverse side were the words "Commander of the Mansion's Guards".

"Ji...Ji...Prince Ji's Mansion!!" Capt. Sun's hands were trembling and he was stammering when he spoke. In this feudal era, a prince is not someone he and his head catcher can offend. If you let him die, he will die.

"Prince Ji's Mansion"

"What Prince Ji's Mansion?"

"I don't even know this, but he is the head of the Great and Small Imperial Manor. Prince Ji."

"That's right, Xiaohuangzhuang is now the richest village in the neighborhood. Many people want to go in, but they can't. Many girls from the village want to marry there."

"Captain, I think this matter may be a misunderstanding. Wei Fugui is the person the prince personally wants. If you think the evidence is conclusive, then I will go back and report to the prince. Will the prince personally go to the county government to supervise the case? It's hard to say." Xue Rengui didn't take these arrests seriously at all. Youdao is the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister.

"Commander, I thought this was a misunderstanding from the beginning. Since it is the person His Highness Prince Ji wants, it will be fine. I won't bother you to go to the county office." He was joking. If Li Shen went to the county government office. It would be a shame for him to lose his position as head catcher. It's hard to believe that his life is gone. After saying that, he quickly asked someone to open the shackles.

"Thank you, Commander, for the rescue." Wei Fugui heard their conversation clearly. When he knew that it was Prince Ji who wanted him, he burst into tears. After waiting for so long, the little master finally came out of the palace.

"Don't dare. Brother Wei is too polite. My younger brother's surname is Xue, his name is Li, and his given name is Rengui. Brother Wei, just call me Rengui." Xue Rengui quickly introduced. This is the slave of the prince's mother. From now on, he will be responsible for all the affairs of the palace. Even he has to listen to others.

Wei Fugui was stunned by Xue Rengui's polite look. He didn't know why Xue Rengui was so polite. Seeing this, Xue Rengui explained: "I was ordered by King Ji to take Brother Wei to Prince Ji's Mansion. King Ji said that you are the old steward of Concubine Wei. From now on, you will be the great steward of Prince Ji's Mansion."

"Butler of Prince Ji's Mansion?" Wei Fugui cried, knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction of the palace. Crying bitterly: "Thank you, miss, for not forgetting this old slave." The miss he was talking about was naturally Concubine Wei.

"Prince Ji's Mansion, the big...big...butler?"

At this time, both Sun Captou and the village chiefs, including Zhao Qi, were stunned. For so many years, no one thought that Wei Fugui had such a connection. The slave of a noble concubine in the palace. If it were anyone else, everyone would already know this. How could he be bullied and looked down upon like Wei Fugui?

Mrs. Liu's eyes filled with tears when she saw Wei Fugui kneeling down and crying bitterly. She finally knew who her husband was related to. The royal concubine of the royal palace. And now he is the butler of the palace. I really don’t need to be bullied anymore. The three children also have a future. Except for her infant daughter. She has been teaching reading to her two sons. You can go to elementary school and college in the future.

"This time Wei Fugui is considered rich."

"Yes. Why didn't he tell me earlier if it had anything to do with it?"

"You are so rich. Your Dalang is already sixteen years old. What do you think of my little flower?"

The behavior of the villagers turned 180 degrees. But Wei Fugui ignored it. He stood up and said to Xue Rengui: "Commander Xue, can you wait a few days? I will collect all the fields and go to the palace."

"Steward Wei, the prince is looking for you to organize a housewarming party in a few days. He wants you to familiarize yourself with the affairs of the prince's palace first. The prince has already prepared a house and furniture for you in the palace. Hundreds of acres of fertile land. Hundreds of money. Let you settle down with your family. And we have also arranged a small courtyard for you in the palace. Manager Wei, please don’t miss the prince’s important event by treating him so kindly. Your Majesty will also come in person when the time comes, but you can’t let the palace be laughed at.” Li Shen’s The order was to have Manager Wei go to the palace to arrange a banquet immediately.

"Yes, yes, yes, you are right, it is my fault. We cannot let the prince be gossiped about. I will pack my bags right now." Wei Fugui knew what Xue Rengui meant.

"Dawu, go to your grandpa's house and ask them to come. Just say that we are leaving and we have something to explain."

"Okay, Aye" Dawu agreed and ran out.
