Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Liu Shang's fingers slowly tapped the place where the box was placed.

"Perhaps, for some people, achieving their goals without spending a penny is considered a huge profit."

The butler recalled the visitor's behavior again, and he felt more and more that the other party would not be so stingy.

"Could it be someone else—"

"The box has just been received in the warehouse. Besides you, me, and the employer, do you think anyone else would know about it? Even the most well-informed person couldn't know about it so quickly." Liu Shang's analysis has its own reasons.

The butler always felt that this matter was not right no matter how he thought about it, but he could not find any other reason, and the Pavilion Master was not wrong.

"On paper, the employer gave us so much money, and we accepted the task. According to the regulations, we must complete it, but now this has happened. What should we do?"

Liu Shang narrowed his eyes. "If the king is unkind, I am unrighteous. At a time like this, there's no need to worry about the moral code of the martial arts world. The Loyalty Bureau has been fooled once. If we back down because of the other party's status, won't everyone be able to insult us in the future?"

In the following days, Qiao Jianer was not as mysterious as before.

She always appeared alone in major restaurants, on the streets, and even in the wilderness.

For Concubine Han, this was a perfect opportunity to take action, but it seemed that the Loyalty Bureau did not take any action at all.

She thought the Loyalty Bureau had other plans, and would wait until Qiao Jian'er completely relaxed his vigilance and then kill him in one go.

Unexpectedly, half a month later, Qiao Jianer was still alive and well, and nothing happened to him at all.

"What's going on? How dare the Loyalty Bureau take the money and not do the job? They are so bold." Concubine Han had endured it day by day until now, and seeing this result, she finally didn't have to convince herself.

The Loyalty Bureau did no work at all.

As he spoke, he slammed his palm hard on the armrest, his facial features twisted in anger.

She had never been humiliated like this before; it was simply making fun of her.

Nanny Zhou was also furious: "How dare you act so presumptuously in front of Her Majesty? You simply want to die. Her Majesty must teach the Loyalty Bureau a lesson."

A dark smile appeared on Concubine Han's lips. "I'd like to know why the Loyalty Bureau did this."

After changing into the same outfit as last time, Concubine Han entered the Loyalty Bureau, and wherever she went, she brought a hint of murderous intent.

The butler came over with a bad look on his face.

"What's the important matter, my dear sir?"

Seeing that the other party asked the question knowing the answer, Concubine Han laughed, and there was a sharpness in her laughter.

"I want to see your boss."

"The boss is in the flower hall."

Concubine Han quickened her pace and entered the back hall. Liu Shang was sitting on the armchair drinking tea. He raised his eyelids and glanced at her indifferently without standing up to greet her.

"What do you mean by this, Loyalty Bureau?" Concubine Han found it ironic when she saw that the other party seemed to be ready to break off relations with her.

"The Loyalty Bureau hasn't asked you yet, what do you think?" Liu Shang placed the teacup in his hand on the table, making a crisp sound and even splashing two drops of tea.

Concubine Han stared at Liu Shang and found that he did not seem to be joking.

She laughed again.

"I paid you, the Loyalty Bureau, five million taels of silver and thirty kilograms of gold to kill a man for me. For the past two weeks, Qiao Jian'er has been roaming around, providing ample opportunities for me to kill him. Yet, you've remained completely indifferent, taking the money without doing the work. Is this the principle your Loyalty Bureau has always upheld?"

Liu Shang raised his eyebrows and showed a funny expression on his face.

"Please calm down, my lord. Since you want this result, we might as well sort out the cause and effect. Otherwise, those who are not in the know might think that the Loyalty Bureau is dishonest."

"What cause and effect?" Concubine Han thought the other party was just making excuses, and her tone was very cold and hard.

"Half a month ago, the nobleman sent us five million taels of silver and thirty kilograms of gold. As soon as the nobleman left, we immediately put the valuables into the warehouse. But in less than a quarter of an hour, the boxes and the contents were stolen."

What? After hearing this, Concubine Han was stunned.

But she immediately thought that this was just the wording of the Loyalty Bureau.

"Your Zhongyi Bureau is a very important place. No one can easily enter. It's impossible for anyone to steal valuables from your warehouse except your own people. It's just that you took the money and didn't want to work, so you used this excuse to put me off."

"Although the Loyalty Bureau has some capabilities, there are many who are more powerful than them. Especially in the capital, where there are many hidden talents. Even with the status of a noble, no one can easily resist."

Concubine Han's fingers pulled hard at the handkerchief, trying hard to control her inner emotions, but her voice was still trembling.

"That's funny, that's really funny. You mean to say that I was the one who had the box taken away? Why would I do that? What good would it do me?"

"It's not a glorious thing for a noble to come to the Loyalty Bureau and buy his life with money. He must have kept it a secret from everyone. The box of treasure was only known to you, besides the Loyalty Bureau, and it was stolen within a quarter of an hour. This presupposes that you knew about it first. It's not realistic to put it on other people."

"There's only one possibility."

Liu Shang looked at the newcomer and said, "When the noble came, he brought a group of men with him. As soon as he left, his men immediately took action and stole the valuables."

This is the only reasonable explanation.

"How dare you!" Han Guifei was furious. "Five million taels of silver and thirty kilograms of gold are just a drop in the bucket of what I have. Do you think I can't even spend such a small amount of money to kill someone I hate?"

"You dare to frame me like this? Do you know what will happen to you?"

Liu Shang remained unmoved. "Although the noble lady has covered herself up carefully, there are traces of armor on her fingers that show she often wears armor. It must be one of the noble ladies in the palace. The noble lady is trying to hire someone to kill the emperor's favorite. If the emperor knew about this, I'm afraid it would be difficult to resolve the matter peacefully."

Concubine Han felt a chill all over her body for a moment, and gritted her teeth: "You are threatening me."

"It is you who are disregarding morality and trying to get something for nothing."

"I didn't lead anyone to steal that box of valuables. How do you want me to prove my innocence?"

Concubine Han's face behind her veil was already pale.

"Our Zhongyi Bureau has always been paid to do things. Without money, we can't do anything."

"What if your Loyalty Bureau stole the money and secretly hid the box of gold and silver notes, and then put the blame on me?"

"Don't worry, sir. You only need to inquire. Our Loyalty Bureau has existed for decades and has never done anything so dishonest. Although the loss of property this time was not caused by the Loyalty Bureau, its reputation will be affected in the future. This is all thanks to your contribution."

Concubine Han took a deep breath. She thought to herself that something was wrong. It was stolen within a quarter of an hour of being delivered to the warehouse. No wonder the Loyalty Bureau suspected her.

Who did this?
