Chapter 535
"Hands and feet are not clean, traitor—" Li Min chewed each word slowly.

Those who listened to her had their hearts in their chests raised to their throats.

Two soldiers came over and suddenly set up Aunt Shang who was not moving.

Nanny Li, Nanny Zhang, and Ziye, who was calm just now, all had a flash of panic on their faces, and then they all lowered their heads.

"Do you have anything to say?" Li Min asked.

Nanny Li's lowered face exchanged glances with Nanny Zhang's lowered head: Now Aunt Shang has fallen, what does Aunt Shang want to say?
There was a sudden kowtow on the ground, everyone saw that it was not Aunt Shang who kowtowed, but Ziye.

Ziye said: "This servant thinks that Aunt Shang can't steal money."

"Are you trying to plead for Aunt Shang?" Li Min's eyes fell on this little girl who didn't like to talk.

"I don't want to plead for Aunt Shang." The little maid said, still trembling, her voice couldn't help trembling, "This servant is just telling the truth. If Aunt Shang wants to steal money, she can do it long ago, and there is no need to worry about it." It’s so obvious that my son was discovered by others.”

"Because she is in charge of my concubine's treasury, why steal ten taels of silver? If you find some name, you can turn the stolen silver into expenses and cover it up. Moreover, it is not worth the candle for her. In exchange for big profits. Taking good care of the treasury and gaining the absolute trust of my concubine is far more beneficial than stealing these ten taels of silver." Li Min's mouth curled up slightly, and there was a hint of contemplation in his gaze overlooking the little maid. "How many years have you worked in the mansion?"

"Back to the young mistress, the servant girl was sold to the Duke Protector's Mansion since she was a child, and has worked in the Duke Protector's Mansion for many years. Therefore, she has been exposed to many people's ears. The things the servant girl said are just things that many people know. Son, once the young mistress heard what the servant said, she immediately understood." Ziye said.

Nanny Zhang and Nanny Li were so angry that their mouths were twisted. What is this little girl doing? When did she become Aunt Shang's ally? Don't you know that they were all in the Duke Huguo's mansion at the beginning? People, it's more time to fight against the enemy.

"Since you said that Aunt Shang didn't steal the money, who do you think is the one who stole the money?"

Li Min's words made the owner of the Thai Villa, who was listening, have doubts in his heart.Why did Li Min ask everyone one by one, and, instead of asking the traitor, he asked about who stole the money.Is ten taels of silver more important than finding out the traitor?

It is impossible for those chasing soldiers outside the mountain to just give up, not to mention their interests, if the emperor finds out afterwards that they have retreated despite difficulties, he will definitely behead them.Every day a traitor is in their team, he may tip off the officers and soldiers outside at any moment.

Is it?

A thought suddenly popped up in Master Tai's mind. Although this thought only passed by in a flash, everything that happened soon confirmed his guess.

The sound of howling wolves suddenly sounded outside the cave, which attracted the attention of everyone in the cave for an instant.

Several wolves dragged a person in the snow and dragged them directly into the cave.After dragging the man in front of Li Min, the wolves let go of their mouths, followed the order of the leader outside the cave and retreated.Although the man's legs were covered in bruises and bruises from the wolf attack and bite, but the face was recognizable, and the clothes on his body could clearly show that it was Meng Haoming's subordinates.

Among the kneeling maidservants, one suddenly exclaimed, rolled his eyes, and passed out.

The person who fainted was Nanny Li.

Nanny Zhang's eyes were wide open, as if she had no idea what was going on in front of her eyes.

Under Li Min's signal, Nian Xia took a bucket of ice water and poured it directly on Nanny Li.Nanny Li stood up from the cold ground like a frightened bird with a bang, acting like a zombie.

"Big, young mistress, Wangwangwang—Wangfei—" Li Nanny's face was full of water, her teeth were trembling, and she couldn't even bite the words. At the same time, she didn't forget to kneel down to Li Min immediately, " Slave, it's not that the slave doesn't want to say it, but it's—"

"It was you who saw it and pretended not to see it."

Li Min's words really made some people's faces change.

Nanny Li moved her position unconsciously, and everyone could see clearly that she, who claimed to have a good relationship with Nanny Zhang, suddenly retreated in a direction away from Nanny Zhang.

Nanny Zhang seemed to be in a daze, motionless like a log stuck to the ground.

"What are you doing? Nanny Li!" When Nanny Zhang retrieved her tongue, she made the first cannonball to Nanny Li who had fled far away, "You betrayed the young mistress, and you want to frame me now?!"

"That's right, that's not true!" Nanny Li blushed, "How could I frame you, you don't want the villain to sue first! I saw it with my own eyes, and I saw you talking to him."

He was referring to the soldier lying on the ground who was bitten by a wolf. It was not the wolf bite that finally caused the soldier's death, but himself biting his tongue and killing himself.

At this moment, Meng Haoming knelt down on one knee to Li Min, and said: "It was my negligence that led to the appearance of a traitor in the team, but I didn't know it. If it wasn't for the wise young mistress who noticed it in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"Do you know where this person came from?"

"The eldest young lady just revealed this information to the minister today, and the minister immediately thought that it might be this person. Because, this person's relatives are also servants of the Duke Huguo."

It turned out that although Li Min called the three of them for a meeting at noon, and did not explain at the meeting that he suspected there was a traitor, Meng Haoming, like her, became suspicious in his heart when he heard Da Shan say that the pursuers were so close.Meng Haoming saw Li Min's hesitation and hesitation when he made a decision, and immediately started investigating after knowing that someone had the same guess as him.

That's right, if the people he brought had lived outside the capital for a long time, then it was really impossible to collude with people in the capital.The problem is that among the people he brought, some of them work in the Duke Huguo's mansion, which means that they may collude with people in the capital through their relatives.

The key to solving the case, of course, was that he and Li Min remained calm and did not send any signal of suspecting that there was a traitor in the team. The other party would definitely continue to leave marks for the pursuers.It should be said that the person who left the mark was also a ghost. Even if Meng Haoming looked around in the team, it was difficult to catch the evidence of the other party's crime for a while.Until, according to Li Min's instructions, Bai Hao ordered the wolves to enforce martial law around their team, and anyone who moved outside the range without Li Min's order was listed as a suspect and could be hunted.

Sure enough, after the death of the Ma family father and son, the inner thief must have determined the damage of his own people immediately, and left a mark for the pursuers who came after them one after another.In this case, it is necessary to go to the place where the avalanche occurred to investigate.This insider didn't even think that Li Min and the others already suspected there was an insider, so they set up a trap for the Ma family and his son to step in.
