After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

Liu Diejing didn't want to go to the second house and run into a wall again, but given the current situation, it was estimated that the Marquis would order her to go again in a few days!

However, the Marquis has lost his official position now, and I’m afraid he can’t even keep his title as Marquis!

Only people of noble status can live in this Sijiu City. By then, I'm afraid the whole family will be driven out of the inner city. Instead of this, it would be better to sell some things and save some money for emergencies!

Thinking of this, Liu Dijing had more ideas, but for some reason, the emperor's edict had not come down yet. It was like a sharp knife hanging over her head. She knew that the knife would come down at any time, but she could only watch and wait!

However, before the imperial edict to expel him from the city was issued, the yamen runners showed up at the door!

Now, only a gatekeeper ran to the inner courtyard gate to deliver a message, which frightened Xie Chen and his wife so much that they almost lost their composure and hurriedly dressed and went out to the outer courtyard!

Xie Xuanping was on duty early in the morning. Upon hearing the news, Aunt Ke also ran to the main hall. Aunt Xue and her daughter also heard the news and after much consideration, they sent Lu Yun, who was beside them, out to find out the news!

The yamen runner looked at the man with disdain in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He looked at Xie Chen, who was only known as the Marquis, and said seriously:

"Are you Lord Xie Chen?"

Xie Chen nodded: "What do you want, sir?"

Although Lord Xie has fallen on hard times, he still has the aura and authority he needs, and he speaks with great vigor!

"Thank you, Lord. Someone has accused you of murdering a brother many years ago. Please come with us back to the government office to be investigated!"

Xie Chen was a little confused. Where did his brother come from? Why was he sued? ...

Suddenly, an idea flashed across his mind and Xie Chen felt a chill down his spine. He remembered his aunt's eldest son, his so-called older brother, who was pushed into the river by him and drowned alive!

So many years have passed, who still has such ability?

Not only did Lord Xie have a lot of concerns, but the bailiffs were also staring at him, as if they were afraid that he would suddenly run away!

Xie Chen wanted to get some information from Hengchai, but found that he didn't even have a single piece of silver on him. He glanced at Liu Diejing, only to see that Liu Diejing's face had turned pale, as if she had suffered a heavy blow!

Only now did I remember that the drowning was also caused by Liu. At that time, the old aunt's son was already ten years old. Because he was smart and studious, he was often praised by the teacher and was quite liked by the old marquis!

He was a stupid boy who got a headache when reading books. The old marquis tried to teach him martial arts himself, but he just couldn't learn it no matter what. Every time he tried to teach him, the old marquis got furious. So the old marquis simply left it to his own devices and didn't care about it anymore!

Xie Chen hated his younger brother to the core and wished he could tear his skin and bones apart and kill him directly!

Finally one day, he found an opportunity. The ten-year-old boy took the eight-year-old Liu Diejing and followed his younger brother, who was only a few days younger than him, all the way to the lakeside of the marquis's garden!

It was already late autumn, and for some reason my younger brother, Xie Jiaoyang, suddenly wanted to paint the withered lotus leaves by the lake!

At that time, the servants around him went back to get the materials for painting, leaving Xie Jiaoyang alone standing by the lake looking at the withered lotus leaves!

Xie Chen whispered a few words to Liu Diejing's ear. Liu Diejing looked frightened, but finally nodded and agreed!

Then Xie Chen pulled Liu Diejing forward to talk to Xie Jiaoyang. It seemed that the two brothers were very harmonious and friendly. Although Xie Jiaoyang was confused and his eyes were full of vigilance, he still couldn't guard against Liu Diejing beside him!

Although Xie Chen was joking with his elder brother, Liu Diejing reached out and pushed Xie Jiaoyang. Xie Jiaoyang looked at her, and Xie Chen took advantage of his unpreparedness and pushed him into the lake. The speed was so fast that no one could react!

The two servants behind Xie Chen and the little maid beside Liu Diejing were all speechless with fear. They knew that the eldest son was usually hostile to the second son, but who could have imagined that at such a young age he actually wanted to put someone to death, and that the cousin who was staying here temporarily could even get involved!

The next action was even more creepy. Xie Chen saw Xie Jiaoyang, who had rolled into the water, grabbing onto the floating grass on the shore. It seemed that if the servants who went to get something came at this time, Xie Jiaoyang would have been rescued by then!

Deciding to go all out, Xie Chen stepped forward and stepped on Jiaoyang's hand, crushing it hard. Looking at Xie Jiaoyang's painful expression on his face, Xie Chen felt a burst of pleasure. He raised his foot, bent down and pried Xie Jiaoyang's fingers apart, watching him fall into the water again!

Xie Jiaoyang was exhausted and soon sank into the water!

Xie Chen pulled Liu Diejing and hurriedly ran to the corridor on the side, pretending that he had just arrived there. Several maids and servants witnessed the murder, but did not dare to do anything and ran away with their master!

When Xie Jiaoyang's servants came, they found that he was missing. The mansion was in chaos for a while. Until the next day, Xie Jiaoyang's body floated to the surface. The atmosphere in the mansion was depressed for several days!

The main culprits, Xie Chen and Liu Diejing, yes, the servants who followed them that day were given a gag order, and if anyone uttered a word, they would be beaten to death!

As time went by, this matter gradually faded away, until later everyone forgot that there was ever a person named Xie Jiaoyang!

At this moment, it was brought up again, and I felt that I was afraid I could not escape this disaster!

Xie Chen was about to follow the yamen runner and confirmed that the yamen runner said to Liu Diejing: "Are you Madam Hou Liu Diejing?"

Liu Diejing shuddered suddenly, her lips trembling, and Pi Zi responded, "I am!"

"Then you can come along too!"

Suddenly, Xie Xiaolian ran out with his teeth bared. The wounds on his body were scabby, and when he walked and moved, the scabs were torn open again. It hurt so much, but he couldn't care less at the moment!

"What are you doing? What right do you have to take my parents away? What have they done wrong? You are not allowed to leave until you explain clearly!"

While he was standing in front of his parents, he stretched out his arms like an old hen to protect the two people behind him!

The yamen runner who had just spoken had a cold expression on his face. Generally, those who worked as yamen runners in the Forbidden City were all good at dealing with people. People in the Forbidden City were either rich or noble. Even if they committed a crime, who knew which aristocratic family would be involved?

The yamen runners are of low status and no one can afford to offend them. I am afraid that if I offend someone carelessly, I won’t even know how I died!

But the second master of the Xie family is a well-known playboy who is hopeless and has no money in this city.

This Xie family has offended the family of the Minister of Personnel, Mr. Xie, and they also have a bad relationship with their second and third wives. They are a well-known laughing stock in the capital!

If a family like this really commits a crime, it would be harder than climbing to the sky to turn things around!

Aunt Ke felt something was wrong at this moment. When she saw the expressions of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, she was afraid that the murder was real. She became panic-stricken and didn't know what to do. However, she also knew that the Second Master could not stop the government officials!

After thinking for a while, he said to Mr. Xie in a gentle tone:

"Second Master, you'd better get out of the way and don't cause trouble for the Marquis' wife. Wait until your eldest brother comes back before making plans!"
