Shi Che sat in the hall. Butler Fan took the tea from the servant girl and placed it beside Shi Che’s hand.

“Your Highness, I have something to report.”

Usually, if it was something that could be said directly, Butler Fan would say it directly. There was no need to do this. It was obvious that the matter that was about to be said could not be heard by others. Shi Che gave a glance and the other servants in the hall immediately filed out and retreated.

Butler Fan’s eyes reddened as he knelt in front of Shi Che. “Your Highness! I’ve let you down!” After saying that, tears still fell.

“Butler Fan, what’s wrong with you?” Shi Che was extremely puzzled. When he was young, he had been brought out of the palace by his brother to play. Later, he had even gotten lost. It was this person in front of him who had picked him up and brought him everywhere on the streets to look for his brother. Only then was he able to return to the palace.

Later on, when he was older, he had to move out of the palace and could no longer live in the palace. When a Prince reached a certain age, he had to move out of the palace, unlike his brother, who was the Crown Prince and could still live in the palace. Then, he accidentally saw that the person in front of him was not doing well, so he let this person work in his residence.

Because this person had good abilities and served him well, he was conferred the t.i.tle of a butler. This person helped him manage the residence.

It had been many years since that day…

Therefore, he was very close to the person in front of him and trusted him very much.

Butler Fan quickly pulled out the long letter from his bosom and handed it to him with both hands. Tears streamed down his face. “It’s my fault for not teaching my nephew well. That’s why I let go of this big mistake.”

Shi Che was still a little confused, but he took the letter and read its contents. He was so shocked that he stood up.

Butler Fan was still crying. “I only wanted to suppress the matter of heavy taxes because he is my nephew. Your Highness, I do not have a son. I only have a nephew, and I treat him like he’s my son. He collected heavy taxes in Lizhou, and the Treasure Bank in Lizhou had all reported it. I thought that it was only the matter of heavy taxes. I didn’t expect that there would be so many other matters, so I helped suppress it and didn’t report it to Your Highness. Now, all the backup plans he left behind have been taken away by someone. I don’t know who took them away. He asked me to report this, presumably knowing that he would not be able to escape the death penalty. He just wants his wife and I to at least be able to live. I will accept my death to pay for his crimes. However, please see that his conscience has not completely disappeared and he wants to atone for his crimes. Please help beg the Emperor to spare his wife and children’s lives. His wife and children do not know anything, he is the one that made all the decisions.”

Shi Che’s face was as dark as steel. “You only knew that he collected heavy taxes and nothing else?”

Not only could the Treasure Bank save money and earn money, but it was also a channel for him to collect information from all over the world.

Butler Fan immediately kowtowed heavily until his head was bleeding. He sobbed. “Your Highness has treated me like family. If I tell another lie now, I will be struck by lightning and never be able to reincarnate!”

Looking at the blood on the ground, Shi Che couldn’t bear it anymore. “Alright, stop. I have to go back to the palace quickly. No one can know about this.”

He had never expected that his butler would lie to him. He trusted his butler too much. He had always thought that there was nothing unusual in Lizhou. He had never expected that Qiu Pusheng would do something like this. The people involved were even Prime Minister Dou, the Minister of the Supreme Court, and other high-ranking officials. They had even captured people to train Qiu Pusheng’s private army. Not to mention the fact that Qiu Pusheng had received so much extra tax, he had no idea how many people had starved to death in Lizhou in the past two years…
