Chapter 61 (2/2)
“Who else here knows the existence of the key?” Lou Zigui asked
Xie Laibao opened and closed his hed “It’s co about the lives of others?”
Lou Zigui didn’t pressure Xie Laibao verbally, but simply looked at hi, but twisted his head to look behind hiuards, ere all kneeling on the ground nearby
“Him,” Xie Laibao pointed at a person who reserain depot”
“All right,” Lou Zigui said “Then he was the one who handed over the key It had nothing to do with you”
Xie Laibao looked at Lou Zigui, his face deathly pale Thistorture Even if he had the guts to betray the Grand Preceptor, he didn’t have the skills to match!
“I left you alive,” Lou Zigui said in a low voice “If there’s matters in the future, I’ll have someone look for you”
The stench of urine emanated from beneath Head Steward Xie’s body He really had been scared to the point of peeing his pants Fang Tang backed away a few steps, his face filled with distaste But Lou Zigui stood his ground,the same tone of voice as before
“Of course, you can make a full confession to the Grand Preceptor However, I don’t think you’ll be able to explain yourself clearly There shouldn’t be rain depot key”
“……” said Xie Laibao Please explain how His Majesty has the grain depot key? There were only two of them in total The Grand Preceptor had one, while his oas kept either on his person or left in the secret storage box next to the granary main entrance If his key was still here, then had the Grand Preceptor lost his own? If that was the case, would the Grand Preceptor still allow grain to be stored here? Had he gone mad?
“You should go,” Lou Zigui waved a hand at Xie Laibao
Xie Laibao thought it over before saying, “May Supreme Commander show mercy and let me die to my satisfaction”
“You’re being stubborn now?” Fang Tang’s teui patted his shoulder to keep hi at Head Steward Xie
“Then you’d be the one who that handed over the key Will Xie Wenyuan spare your family afterwards?”
Head Steward Xie knew that he had no more options
“What will the head steward choose?” Lou Zigui asked
Xie Laibao faltered, “What does Supreme Commander want this one to do?”
Lou Zigui turned to walk towards the grain depot Since this servant had already bowed his head to him, there was no need for him to waste words with him now
“Why don’t you hurry and scra said Head Steward Xie wanted to stand up, but his broken ribs caused hi saw hies, he simply kicked hiht as ait for the Grand Preceptor’s men to rescue him
By now, Lou Zigui was inside the grain depot, where the piles of grain and flour reached to the ceiling Everything was stacked in neat little hills, enough to make hiees all over the place, but the Board of Revenue had only 10 percent of its granaries stocked up They had owed the arranary was actually such a sight In theof sadness as well
Shadowgale walked over with a bag of grain on his shoulders before he looked around and cried out, “Where’s His Majesty?”
Everyone inside the granary stopped working Only now did they discover that His Majesty, who had been running crazily around the granary, had disappeared! Lou Zigui lost all interest in the scene before hio outside?”
A Dragon Guard standing by the stone doors waved a hand “Just then, His Majesty took his cat and left I heard His Majesty tell the cat that they were going to the back of the mountains”
“His Majesty was talking to the cat?” Shadowgale shouted
Lou Zigui rested a hand on his forehead “I’ll go to the back mountains to find His Majesty The rest of you, hurry and take these supplies away” After leaving instructions with Shadowgale, Lou Zigui left with quick steps
