General Li’s defense was broken!

"No, who is treating me like an animal?!"

"This dress has nothing to do with me! When did I save Haitang? How could I possibly save her? Am I sick?"

"I have nothing to do with Haitang. What good will it do for me if I save her?"

"I really didn't take this dress... No, what are you all looking at me for?!"

"You all don't believe me, do you? This is really none of my business!"

"!!!"

When General Li saw the look in the eyes of the prince and the others, his expression changed instantly!

He felt particularly uncomfortable and quickly said to the prince: "...Your Highness, you have to believe me!"

The prince was silent.

Bai Qingze next to him frowned. He himself did not expect things... to turn out like this.

General Li is a simple man, and he knows it.

But the question is...why was this clothing in General Li's house?

Bai Qingze turned his head and looked at the prince. He said nothing else, but said to the secret guards below: "Besides this dress, what else do you have?"

The secret guard immediately said to the prince, "Your Highness, we found two suspicious servants in General Li's mansion."

"Quickly bring those two suspicious servants here!"

Immediately, two servants were brought up.

The two servants were trembling with fear beside Bai Qingze and the prince.

After being kicked, they immediately knelt on the ground and said to the Crown Prince and Bai Qingze tremblingly: "Your Highness, Lord Bai... We didn't do anything, we really didn't do anything!!"

"You still dare to quibble here?"

Bai Qingze saw their panic and undisguised guilt, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

General Li is simple, so the servants in his house are not smart.

Bai Qingze immediately kicked the two servants. The two servants were kicked in the chest and screamed in pain.

Bai Qingze waved his hand and said, "Bring it up."

The prince's secret guards also listened to Bai Qingze's words and immediately went to bring the two servants' parents, sisters, brothers, uncles... and the entire family over.

Soon, more than twenty people were brought in.

The knife was placed on the necks of the twenty or so people, and a cry of fear was heard.

Bai Qingze asked the two servants in a cold voice: "Are you going to tell me... or not?"

The two servants were immediately frightened. They quickly said to Bai Qingze and the prince, "Reporting to His Royal Highness the Prince and Lord Bai, we are ordered by General Li to burn a piece of clothing!"

"At the time, neither of us knew what the clothes were, but seeing that there was blood on them and they were women's clothes, we roughly guessed that General Li might have done something bad."

"But we two are just ordinary servants, what can we know?"

"Even if we know, we can't tell you, and this matter is none of our business."

"Please spare my life, Your Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Bai. Please spare my life, Your Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Bai!"

Hearing this, Bai Qingze turned his head and looked at General Li: "Did you change Haitang's clothes and secretly move her to another position?"

"Tell me, where did you hide her?!"

General Li was confused and said in a panic, "No, when did I ask these two servants to secretly burn these clothes?"

"I never ordered anything like that!"

"These two boys are traitors!"

General Li was furious, and then he immediately said to the Crown Prince and Bai Qingze, "Your Highness, Qingze, you can't be fooled by these people. Someone must be trying to frame me!"

"You know, if I really did something stupid like this, changing Haitang's clothes so that people would think she was an ordinary woman, and then moving to another place to hide secretly...why would I order two ordinary servants to do such a thing?!"

"And the behavior of these two servants is very suspicious. They look so stupid!"

Hearing this, the prince and Bai Qingze looked at each other, and they both nodded and said, "Indeed, there is something wrong with this matter."

"But...are these two servants really ordinary servants?"

"Yeah, what else?"

"But how come there is the silver you gave me some time ago in their two rooms?"

"..."

Sure enough, when General Li turned around, he saw that Bai Qingze and the secret guards brought by the prince had taken out some of the properties from the two servants' rooms.

There were several silver bars, and added up, each person would have about three to five hundred taels of silver.

And according to the mark on the silver, it was awarded to General Li by the emperor not long ago, and it also has a number.

"???"

"!!!"

Seeing this, General Li's face changed, and he quickly said to Bai Qingze and the prince: "I was wondering why I lost money some time ago?"

"It was in the room of these two servants!"

"These two boys have dirty hands and feet!"

"I gave them silver at that time only because they were brothers and my mother died... so I gave them burial expenses, 20 taels each, a total of 40 taels."

"It's only 40 taels of silver in total. When did I ever give them 300 or 500 taels of silver?!"

"This silver is clearly from my warehouse. They must have secretly taken it out of my warehouse!"

"This matter really has nothing to do with me!"

"..."

General Li had no way to defend himself.

Seeing the Crown Prince and Bai Qingze's faces becoming increasingly gloomy, General Li felt uneasy.

"So... do you really think I did this?"

"I really didn't do it. I was wronged. I didn't save Haitang!"

"But General Li, how do you explain why this dress appeared in your home?"

"How do you explain the testimony of these two servants?"

"How do you explain how the money you had earlier ended up in their two houses?"

The prince and Bai Qingze spoke with certainty.

"..."

Hearing these words, General Li fell silent.

General Li opened his mouth, and at this moment he could only say one sentence: "Your humble servant...has no excuse."

No one listens no matter how I explain.

The evidence is already solid.

But he wouldn't do such a thing.

At this time, seven little moons are right next to it.

They were a little confused. They didn't expect that at this time... they would experience such a thing in General Li's house.

They just thought this matter was a little strange, but they intuitively felt that General Li would not do such a thing.

The Crown Prince and Bai Qingze did not speak at this time. The Crown Prince said to Bai Qingze: "Go to the palace and tell the Emperor how to deal with it."

"it is good."

Bai Qingze nodded.

The prince did not speak again.

In less than half an incense stick of time, Bai Qingze hurriedly rode back and said loudly to the prince, "Your Highness, His Majesty said that General Li will be temporarily placed under house arrest. When Haitang is found, General Li can be released."

"Or if General Li tells us where Haitang has gone, he can lift the house arrest."

"???"

Hearing this, General Li was very unconvinced. How the hell did he know where Haitang was? !

But the emperor has spoken, so what can I do to refute him?

He could only look frustrated and tried to explain to the Crown Prince and Bai Qingze: "Your Highness, Qingze...you have to believe me."

"I...I want to see Bailu. Find Bailu for me. I want to see her!"
