The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

Lord Sun looked at the books all over the floor and stopped for a while. He asked about the situation, and a clerk told him the whole story.

Sun Laiyun didn't think much about it, but just smiled at Xie Zhibai. Xie Zhibai nodded at him and continued to sort the books that were drying on the ground.

Sun Laiyun didn't think much about it and was about to leave. After all, he was just passing by and he still had to find an adult to report the situation.

But who would have thought that as soon as I turned around, my eyes blurred and then it felt like I was bumped by someone.

Sun Laiyun did not stand steadily and took two steps back before he could stand. The clerk who had just bumped into him fell to the ground with a groan, and the files in his hands fell to the ground.

"Don't you look at the road?"

Sun Laiyun was a little angry.

After all, this is the Ministry of Justice, not an ordinary place. Sun Laiyun was very unhappy with the rashness of the people doing things.

The clerk quickly stood up, looking apologetic.

"Oh, Lord Sun, I didn't mean it. I was just too anxious."

Sun Laiyun also saw the face of the clerk clearly and raised his eyebrows.

It seems to be the Ninth Prince’s man?

After all, he had a backer, so Sun Laiyun didn't want to make things difficult for him. He just curled his lips in displeasure and spoke unhappily.

"So it's you, Ma Yue. You've been in the Ministry of Justice for a year, right? You're still so impetuous. Be careful next time. You bumped into me this time, so I won't bother with you. But if you bumped into an adult, I'll see how I'll deal with you!"

Ma Yue nodded repeatedly, with a flattering look on his face.

Sun Laiyun didn't say anything more, turned around and continued walking.

The minor official Ma Yue squatted down to pick up the files. Some of the files were scattered due to the impact. Ma Yue had no choice but to sort them out again.

However, when picking up a file that looked relatively new, Ma Yue suddenly exclaimed "Huh?" in a neither loud nor soft voice, and said to a clerk who was helping nearby.

"This case in Yangliu Lane... Miss Liu is the daughter of Censor Liu? Why have I never heard that Censor Liu has a daughter? And something like this happened."

Ma Yue spoke as he dusted off the file.

Upon hearing this, the clerk who was helping him took the file, took a look at it, and then sighed.

"Who said it wasn't? It's really a pity that beauty suffers a tragic fate. Miss Liu is the apple of Censor Liu's eye. Her status in the family is almost the same as Miss Xie's. It's just that she had the bad luck to encounter such a thing. What a pity."

"What! Is this true? But how come I don't know anything about such a big thing... I have often heard that Censor Liu is very powerful in the court. I heard that he severely criticized the Xiao family a few days ago. I didn't expect it."

Ma Yue looked regretful.

Upon hearing this, the clerk who was helping also sighed, then patted Ma Yue on the shoulder and said.

"You've only been here for a year. This case happened three years ago, so you naturally don't know about it. Besides, it's not a glorious thing. Censor Liu is in the court, so he says whatever he wants, and he loves his daughter the most."

"Who dares to bring up what happened to Miss Liu? Are they afraid that Censor Liu will find fault with them? So naturally no one dares to bring it up. But Censor Liu was really too much. No one wants the incident that happened to Miss Liu to happen again."

"But Censor Liu still won't let go of our Master. It's been so long, why can't he let go? Really, our Master has really suffered an unprovoked disaster. Even the Emperor is partial to Censor Liu. He only says a few words every time, and never really teaches Censor Liu a lesson."

Xie Zhibai, who had been packing books silently, stood up and reminded him.

"Alright, stop talking. No matter what you say, Censor Liu is still an old man. And it's possible that Censor Liu can't accept what happened to Miss Liu. As for the emperor's partiality, the emperor knows the ins and outs of this matter. Although Censor Liu keeps nagging our master, the emperor is just pretending to make Censor Liu calm down, and he didn't really do anything to our master."

"After all, Censor Liu is a pitiful man. Let's all be lenient with him. When you go out in the future, don't talk about this in front of Censor Liu or other members of the Liu family. Bringing up the past will make Censor Liu sad. Although the case has been closed, it is not a glorious thing for Miss Liu. Let the deceased rest in peace."

Xie Zhibai's tone was also very sad.

The few of them were talking so excitedly that they didn't seem to notice that Sun Laiyun, who was about to leave, was standing there and listening.

Ma Yue was obviously very curious about this case. He flipped through the file and after looking at it for a while, he began to understand something and then muttered to himself.

"So the murderer is Guo Xiong. But I seem to have heard the name Guo Xiong somewhere before."

The noise here also attracted the attention of others, and they all came over. Ma Yue's voice, which was neither loud nor soft, was heard by them.

A clerk laughed and said, "The name Guo Xiong is not a secret. After all, this bastard is the murderer of Miss Liu. It's a pity to say that he is just a rogue. It's a pity that Miss Liu was harmed because of such a bastard."

"Yes, Guo Xiong's name was also talked about throughout the capital three years ago. It's normal that you have heard of it."

The clerk who had just explained to Ma Yue couldn't help but speak out.

"But Ma Yue hadn't come three years ago, so how could he know Guo Xiong's name? Big things happen in Beijing every day, and Miss Liu's case was only a hot topic at the time, but no one mentioned it again afterwards."

These words reminded everyone, and everyone looked at Ma Yue with strange eyes.

Ma Yue felt a little frightened by being stared at by everyone, and then he gave a dry laugh, but his eyes were evasive.

"But, maybe I heard it wrong. After all, there is not only one Guo Xiong. The capital is so big, there are many people with the same name."

After saying that, he quickly rolled up the file and prepared to put it away to dry in the sun.

When others saw this, they also felt that what he said made sense. The name Guo Xiong was not exclusive to one person. The capital was so big that it was not surprising that there were several people with the same name.

So everyone continued to busy themselves, and everything began to become orderly. The clerk who had just spoken to Ma Yue also went to work.

Ma Yue breathed a sigh of relief when most of the people around him had left. Then he squatted down, picked up the finished files and prepared to dry them. But as soon as he stood up, he met Sun Laiyun's stern face.

Ma Yue was startled.

"Sun, Lord Sun, are you okay?"

Why did you go and come back?

Scared to death...

The expression on Ma Yue's face seemed to be saying this.

Sun Laiyun narrowed his eyes, looked around again, and found that no one was paying attention here, so he asked directly.

"Is what you just said true? Have you heard of the name Guo Xiong? Where did you hear it?"

Ma Yue seemed a little scared, his eyes flickering.

"I, I just heard someone mention it casually. Maybe it's someone with the same name..."
