As expected, after Butler Li left Li An's house, the group of people who had been blocking the door rushed into the small garbage dump.
Butler Li, who was standing at a distance watching, simply observed everything that was happening with a calm and indifferent expression.
And when that house built from garbage dumps could no longer accommodate any more people.
Those still outside used various methods to target the crowd that had already entered.
Before long, the place was filled with the bestial roars of men and the frantic screams of women.
"Get out of my way, you nuisances! Let me in!"
"Haha, I got the check!"
"Chop off his hand!"
"Ahhh, stop fighting over it!"
"Kill that Li An first, then rob the checks, otherwise it'll be troublesome if we attract the guards."
...
Butler Li watched quietly from a distance, the various noises reaching his ears.
However, when he heard that the group was going to deal with Li An, he showed a satisfied smile.
Sure enough, a short while later, amidst Li An's helpless screams, pieces of her body were thrown out of the house.
When he saw Li An's round head roll out the door, a sense of pleasure arose within the butler.
Looking at the head, gradually deformed by the constant trampling of the crowd, Butler Li smiled slightly and said calmly:
"If you have someone to blame, blame yourself for being too stupid. In the capital, the law is nothing more than a means to deal with ordinary people."
After saying that, Butler Li ignored the group of lowly people who were desperately fighting over the checks.
After glancing at his watch, he slowly drove away from the garbage-strewn and chaotic neighborhood.
Just as Butler Li left the neighborhood, a group of imperial patrol guards dressed in armor and carrying clubs arrived at the garbage heap surrounded by lowly people.
These guards were sent by Butler Li to eliminate any traces after he contacted a captain of the Imperial Guard via communicator. As for Li An? He was just someone he dealt with casually to make himself feel better.
Butler Li had already prepared his explanation:
"When I arrived at the home of Li Quan's sister, Li An, I solemnly conveyed to her the news that her brother had been killed in battle. After handing over the Imperial Certificate of Honor and the pension, a group of lowly people suddenly broke into the room. I managed to escape, but unfortunately, Li An did not escape and died at the hands of these lowly people."
There's no need for fabrication; just tell the guards the truth. Even if they investigate, no one will believe that the dignified Steward Li would frame an ordinary civilian of the empire.
And so, the Imperial Guards either executed those people on the spot or arrested them.
As for that check? It was naturally handed over to the captain of the guard as evidence.
At this moment, Butler Li was not concerned about how the guards would deal with those lowly people; he had already boarded the train to the wealthy district of the capital.
After being modified by the Imperial Institute of Mysteries, this train no longer needs any other energy source to drive it; its core is a power source modified from a low-level monster.
Butler Li leaned against the relatively empty carriage, watching the scenery flash by outside the window.
...
Before long, Butler Li returned to Lord Wang Qi's villa.
As Lord Wang Qi's most trusted subordinate, Butler Li naturally possessed the key to the villa's main gate. After he took out the key and opened the villa...
Apart from a few maids who were specifically hired to clean the hall, Lord Wang Qi was nowhere to be seen. He then asked one of the maids who was wiping the floor:
Has Lord Wang Qi gone out?
Hearing Butler Li asking her a question, the maid stopped what she was doing and said softly:
"Yes, Steward Li, Lord Wang Qi went out not long ago."
After saying that, the maid resumed wiping the floor, acting like a robot following instructions.
After receiving the answer he wanted, Butler Li ignored the maid, walked to the brown leather sofa, sat down, took out the communicator from his pocket, edited a message and sent it to Lord Wang Qi, then closed his eyes, lay down on the soft sofa and fell asleep.
