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

Lord Qin said coldly: "Humph, Jingzhao Prefecture has lost such an important murderer. If we don't take action against him, Censor Liu will naturally not let him go."

"But all of this is just speculation. In the final analysis, those servants are not important. What is important is that the young master they are talking about sounds very much like the person who planned Miss Liu's case three years ago. Of course, the premise of all this is that Miss Liu's death was really man-made and not an accident..."

The more Sun Laiyun thought about it, the more excited he became, and then he said with certainty.

"It's definitely not an accident! I felt something was fishy three years ago, but I had no evidence, and the investigation was blocked. Now it seems that the case from three years ago has finally come to a conclusion. Sir, I request to go and investigate!"

Master Qin nodded and said, "I really have to leave this matter to you. I will feel relieved. Old Sun, send some people to find those servants, but do it in private and don't alert the enemy."

"Take Ma Yue to the restaurant he mentioned and wait there to see if you can find the servants. Once you know which servants they are, the murderer might show up."

Sun Laiyun also showed a look of surprise.

"Your Excellency is right. As long as we catch those servants, the so-called young master behind this will be revealed. Your Excellency is wise!"

There was no joy on Lord Qin's face, but rather deep anger. After all, he had suffered from humiliation for three years, and it was finally time to fight back.

And there is Censor Liu… Even though he has been causing trouble for their family for three years, he must still have a lot of resentment stored up in his heart.

Now, once I catch the real murderer and throw him in front of Censor Liu, he can kill me, chop me up, or skin me alive, it's all up to him. The Qin family will finally be able to have some peace and quiet.

On the other side, when the minor clerk Ma Yue returned to the library, the joy on his face had not yet completely subsided.

However, when they saw Xie Zhibai, they exchanged a calm look. Xie Zhibai knew that the matter was settled, and then he started to display other books without any burden.

However, the other minor officials surrounded Ma Yue when they saw him coming back. After all, it was not unheard of that when Sun Laiyun dragged Ma Yue away just now, everyone was curious about what Ma Yue was asked when Sun Laiyun dragged him away.

Ma Yue seemed to remember Sun Laiyun's advice and kept his mouth shut. When he was forced into a corner, he was about to run away, but was stopped by others.

Just when Ma Yue was at a loss, Sun Laiyun appeared.

"What are you doing! Huh?"

Sun Laiyun shouted angrily, and all the minor officials retreated and scattered.

Ma Yue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly approached Sun Laiyun.

"Sir, I..."

"Stop talking, I'm going on a business trip, you come with me!"

Sun Laiyun directly pointed to Ma Yue and walked out without waiting for him to refuse.

Ma Yue was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed, his face full of joy.

Seeing this, the other minor officials began to discuss in low voices.

"I don't know how Ma Yue caught the eye of Lord Sun and was able to go on a business trip with him. I'm afraid he will be promoted, right?"

"Who says it's not true? Lord Qin is the most protective of his people. If he takes a fancy to you, then you can expect a promotion. From now on, we can call you Ma Yue instead of Xiao Ma. We have to call you Lord Ma!"

"It sounds like we don't usually call him Master Ma, but should we go find Ma Yue to learn from him? How did he catch Sun Laiyun's eye?"

"Many of us have been working for many years, but Sun Laiyun didn't take a fancy to us. Ma Yue has only been here for a year, and he's promoted already? It's really unfair!"

A bunch of people were whispering there, but Xie Zhibai was not affected at all and was happily drying his books.

……

Xie family.

"Blue leaves."

"What are your orders, Miss?"

A little maid bowed respectfully to Xie Lingxi.

Although she is dressed as a maid, this maid is different from other maids.

Her figure was just as graceful, but her stance revealed a hint of youthful vigor, and even her gesture of saluting revealed a sense of crispness and efficiency.

If you look closely at the palm, you can see a lot of calluses. Looking at the distribution of the calluses, you can tell at a glance that it is the person who holds a sword.

This is a maid who is skilled in martial arts, or more precisely, a female bodyguard.

Xie Lingxi looked at Lan Ye, the female guard she had borrowed from her eldest brother, with a smile.

In her previous life, this sister perished along with the Xie family, but at the last moment, she did not betray them. Instead, she was beheaded along with the Xie family. It was really a pity.

Xie Lingxi would naturally make more use of such a loyal person, not to mention that Lan Ye's martial arts were indeed good.

There are some things that are very convenient to let her do, but it is really inconvenient for a lady like me to have male guards around me.

It would be nice to have a female guard around.

Since Lan Ye's loyalty had been confirmed, Xie Lingxi didn't waste time talking to her and asked directly.

"Lan Ye, I specifically asked you to come over from my elder brother because I lack capable people around me. But I won't force you. If you are more willing to serve my elder brother, you can go back."

"Don't worry, I'm not being sarcastic on purpose. The master can choose his guards, but the guards can also choose their masters. You have to be willing to be my guard."

Lan Ye was a little surprised. To be honest, she really didn't expect that she would be chosen by the young lady. After all, the young lady didn't seem to be someone who liked swords and guns.

And what I know about the young lady is that she is the apple of the Xie family's eye.

No matter whether it was the Marquis or his wife, or the eldest son or even the youngest son, they all doted on and protected the young lady.

But there are no more.

I didn't expect that the young lady would ask her so directly. Judging from her tone, she is quite broad-minded.

Lan Ye didn't know how to answer for a moment, because she didn't know whether she wanted to stay with the eldest master or with this favored lady.

If I have to say, staying with the eldest son will definitely be more promising. After all, the eldest son is the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice and has the opportunity to become the Minister of Justice in the future.

Besides, the eldest son is the crown prince and will inherit the marquisate in the future. He has a bright future and will definitely have various tasks assigned to him to do.

Of course, because the eldest son has a bright future, he will definitely have more people to use under him, and relatively speaking, he will have more "opponents" as well.

Although everyone has the same goal of working for the Xie family, when it comes down to it, who will benefit in the end depends more on one's own performance.

Following the young lady, there seems to be no chance of making any meritorious deeds...

But that's all history. During the turmoil between the Xie and Xiao families in breaking off the engagement, the young lady performed very well. At least for Lan Ye, she liked such a young lady very much. She was no longer the pearl who completely needed protection from other members of the Xie family.

Instead, he can become a warrior who can take the initiative to stand up and fight alongside other members of the Xie family.
