"What made you kill him?" Ignoring what he said to Xuanyuan Mo, Lee Ruo continued to ask.

"This is this old servant's private matter. If you find it inconvenient to inform me, please forgive me Princess and General. However, this old servant was the one who killed him, please punish him!"

After answering this question, the butler seemed unwilling to say more. No matter what other people asked, he would not mention it.

If Lee Ruo did not ask about this, Xuanyuan Mo would have thought that the butler was the killer. However, from the interrogation just now, it was clear that the killer was someone else.

Not only was the steward unable to tell when exactly they were going to kill him, he could not even tell why they were going to do so. Something was obviously wrong.

"Humph, even if you didn't say it, I still have a way to find the real killer. Let me tell you, I definitely won't let the real killer go. No one can stop me even if they want to!"

It was just a simple sentence, but it made people feel that she was actually like this. The butler lowered his head. Perhaps, what she said was true.

However, he still wanted to gamble. He didn't want that person to die. After all ?

"Princess, why are you so stubborn? This old servant admits that I did everything, and it has nothing to do with anyone ?"

"Whether it is you or not, I know my limits. I will not let go of the person who did the wrong thing. If I did not do the wrong thing, I will not be wronged!" Lee Ruo was furious, why was this man so stubborn.

General Lee, continue checking, check the family of the butler or someone close to him, this person, his age should be around the same as the butler, not only is he left-handed, there's also a problem with his leg, it's possible that he's crippled or had a fake leg, his original ring is no longer there, it's possible that he already bought a new one, if not, there are definitely traces of a ring on his hand ? Lee Ruo continued to analyze, and upon hearing what was said, the butler's heart was shocked, but he still forced himself to stay awake.

Perhaps, that person had already escaped?

"Yes, your subordinate remembers that there is a detailed file on everyone in the manor. I'll go take a look now." General Lee confirmed with Xuanyuan Mo and when he saw him nod his head, they immediately went to the tent. These things, together with the account books, were all kept by the butler.

Not long after, the General Lee found the information. Fortunately, the butler didn't know about this matter and didn't have the time to destroy the records.

"Princess, the housekeeper and his younger brother live five miles outside the southern city. Your subordinate will look for him now. " With that said, the General Lee walked out.

Even Xuanyuan Mo who was sitting in the hall had been forgotten.

"Cough!" Xuanyuan Mo coughed softly. General Lee stopped in his tracks and slapped his head hard. How could he be so excited to forget to report to his master? Is he a pig brain?

"Ahem, um, General, am I going now?" Helpless, he could only retreat and seek Xuanyuan Mo's opinion.

Xuanyuan Mo thought for a while, then stood up: You're not going to go there yourself? The reason he asked was Lee Ruo.

Lee Ruo helplessly rolled her eyes, why was this person so petty?

"He must be going personally!"

"Fine, this general will go take a look as well!" He nodded, then made his decision.

Lee Ruo could not be bothered and started to walk forward.

The sun outside was very bright, so Lee Ruo smiled slightly. If her guess was right, she should be able to catch her before dinner, then, her cute subordinates would be able to eat well tomorrow.

Actually, her master was pretty good, right?

Lee Ruo was truly happy. She had been stuck in this General's Mansion for more than a month and felt that it was extremely unstable, only until last night when she saw these familiar corpses did she feel slightly better.

Lee Ruo had just arrived and could not ride a horse, so she had no choice but to ride with Xuanyuan Mo. She thought that it was nothing, because in her previous life, it was normal for men and women to interact with each other when they were together. Furthermore, it was not something that they should care about in the twenty-first century.

Compared to her relaxed state, Xuanyuan Mo was much more rigid. Before this, he had never had such an intimate physical contact with a girl.

Fortunately, it only took a moment to arrive.

Lee Ruo flipped over and nimbly dismounted from her horse. Behind him, Xuanyuan Mo was left hanging on the side.

Unexpectedly, the butler's younger brother was in the courtyard bathing in the sun with his legs crossed. When he saw the others clearly shocked, he threw up the straw in his mouth and ran into the house.

General Lee caught him in a flash. His face was smeared on the ground, covered in dust.

It wasn't hard to tell that this person was the younger brother of the steward, because the two of them looked exactly the same.

"Who are you people? Why are you treating me like this?" General Lee fiercely pushed his face to the ground as he shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Don't know who we are? What did you run away for? " Lee Ruo squatted and looked straight at him.

"A bunch of vicious strangers suddenly appeared in my house. It would be weird if I didn't run!" He spoke stubbornly.

It was still a reasonable excuse.

But, Lee Ruo did not believe it.

"Is that so?" Lee Ruo smiled, she was not in a hurry to ask questions, what he said was not unreasonable, seeing strangers barging in, she would naturally run, but the panic in his eyes did not escape from his eyes.
