Chapter 739 - 736: Disposal_1
"What’s the use of punishing you! Will punishing you bring Mingrui back with Minister Lu?!" Li Mao’s voice was steady, his dark eyes gazing out of the window where the cold wind howled. After a moment, he spoke, "Is the old man still in Jiuchuan Alley?"
"Responding to the Left Prime Minister, he should still be there..." the counselor in white said.
"Go, bring the old man back so Minister Lu won’t suspect our residence when he discovers the old man’s skills!" the Left Prime Minister gritted his teeth. "Mingrui is in prison now. I’m afraid the Princess of Zhen may secretly kill him out of fear. You must have the old man protect Mingrui in secret without fail."
"Yes! I will arrange it right away!" The counselor in white hurried out of the study to summon the old man from Jiuzhou Alley.
That old man was Li Mingrui’s lifesaver. Back when Li Mao wasn’t the Left Prime Minister, his wife took Li Mingrui home to visit relatives and encountered bandits on the road. It was the old man who risked his life to save them. When the old man woke up, he didn’t even know who he was. Li Mao’s wife and Li Mingrui brought him back and raised him respectfully in their residence all these years.
Although the old man didn’t obey the orders of the Li Mansion, he took special care of Li Mingrui, earning his son’s trust. Considering Mingrui’s safety, the old man would be willing to help this time.
