“But these are not a big deal.” Young Master Lin quickly put away his rare mischievous side, and when he came back to his senses, he had that calm face again.
His two thick eyebrows were beautifully wrinkled on his handsome face. He was seven points handsome and three points delicate and refined, which was very eye-catching.
No wonder the relative of Lady Qinghe was willing to be Lady Qinghe's bait. His appearance alone is enough to make many girls fall in love with him.
Wei An thought so.
Young Master Lin has already started talking about business: "You asked me to investigate the Xie family's affairs, and I have already done so."
Wei An also restrained the smile on his face and listened very seriously.
Young Master Lin clapped his hands, and Captain Xu, who had just gone out, came back and obediently handed Young Master Lin a notebook. Young Master Lin took it and handed it to Wei An, motioning Wei An to look through it himself.
The above records the genealogy of the Xie family.
Wei An had seen all of this before. She looked up at Lin Sanshao with some confusion and raised her eyebrows: "You mean, there's something wrong with this family tree?"
Lin Sanshao nodded without hesitation, and placed his slender and bony fingers on the name of the Fifth Master, and asked her, "Is this person a concubine's child?"
Wei An knew that his sworn brother Xie Liangcheng in the previous life finally thought that the fifth master of the Xie family was jealous of the other legitimate branches of the Xie family because he was born out of wedlock, and he wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible.
She nodded and said she knew.
Third Master Lin then said, "But there is something you don't know. On the surface, the relationship between the fifth master of the Xie family and the other brothers is not too close, but not too distant. But in fact, it is not the case. He has a very close relationship with the second branch."
Wei An’s mind moved.
Thank you, Second Master
Those people who had inexplicably followed her before were interrogated by He Sheng and his men. They confessed that it was Master Xie who ordered them to monitor her and report to Master Xie on time.
The Second Master Xie and the Fifth Master Xie are allies? !
But what's the reason
The fifth master of the Xie family is just a concubine's son, while the second master Xie and the third master Xie are brothers from the same mother!
Lin Sanshao solved her doubts in time: "The Fifth Master has been running the escort agency. You may know this. But you definitely don't know what kind of business their escort agency does. They don't take all escorts. Usually they take goods to the Western Regions, and there have been several major accidents."
Wei An frowned, as if he understood something.
"Several of them were big merchants. They asked Ping An Escort Agency to take over their mission, but the final result was not safe. They lost both money and people. These big merchants sued the prefect of Jingxi, but there was no evidence to prove that these incidents were related to Ping An Escort Agency, so the lawsuit was dropped."
Merchants have always had a very low status. Unless there is collusion between officials and businessmen, if they want to sue, they will basically end up spending all their wealth.
Especially when... the official you are facing has a close relationship with the Ping An Escort Agency.
"Jingxi prefect Deng Zijian is the in-law of Second Master Xie. Second Master Xie's daughter married him." Third Master Lin leaned back in the armchair and looked at Wei An: "All these things were settled by Second Master Xie with the help of Fifth Master. Do you think there is any problem here?"
Of course there is a problem.
Ping An Escort Agency does the business of an escort agency, but they actually act like robbers. Even if Second Master Xie couldn't see it the first time or the second time, he would be able to see that something is wrong as more and more cases accumulate, right
But Mr. Xie pretended to know nothing and told his son-in-law to settle all the matters.
What does this mean
Brotherly love
That's weird.
What is more likely is that Second Master Xie and Fifth Master Xie are accomplices.
He is also involved in the business of this escort agency.
"You mean..." Wei An interrupted Third Master Lin and thought for a moment before saying, "Second Master Xie is allied with Fifth Master because of this. Fifth Master wants to kill Third Master Xie's legitimate son Xie Liangqing, and he is also involved, or at least an insider?"
Young Master Lin raised his eyebrows but did not object.
But Wei An couldn't figure it out. She tapped the table with her hand, sorted out her thoughts, and then asked suspiciously, "But why?"
Even though the Fifth Master was extremely angry with the Third Master Xie, why didn't he attack the Third Master and the Third Madam directly, but instead attacked their children
After that, Xie Liangcheng and Master Xie San returned to Jingxi to deal with the matter, and Master Wu got the punishment he deserved.
At that time, why didn't Second Master Xie protect Fifth Master
What is the mystery of the Xie family
"To be precise, we can't say they are accomplices." Third Master Lin denied Wei An's guess: "It should be said that the Fifth Master is just a chess piece, a pawn controlled by the Second Master. He has no right to discuss with the Second Master Xie. The orders should all be issued by the Second Master, and he is just responsible for execution."
What a crazy guess!
Mr. Xie San and his wife and Xie Liangcheng thought that the danger had been resolved, but they didn't know that Mr. Wu was just a pawn! The one who harmed them was someone else, and it was their own brother!
Even though Wei An was used to the darkness and terror of this world, he couldn't help but ask, "But why?"
Why did the second master do this
He was indirectly letting his half brother slaughter his own brother, and he would not plan to let this half brother live too well afterwards. There was a high probability that he wanted to use his half brother as a shield and scapegoat for the affairs of Master Xie San.
Why on earth is he so crazy
Seeing that Wei An seemed frightened, Lin Sanshao slowed down his voice a little: "Frightened?"
These family secrets are commonplace for those of them who serve as the Jinyiwei, but for Wei An, no matter how smart and capable he is, he should still be afraid of them.
Fate is a strange thing. If other girls were dazed and absent-minded like this, he would feel useless and boring. However, when this action was done by someone he liked, he would feel particularly pity and unwillingness.
Wei An calmed down in an instant.
She wasn't afraid.
She was just wondering, was it because her sworn brother in the previous life narrowly escaped death in the end that the Fifth Master he killed was not the enemy he really thought he was, and his real enemy had actually been eyeing him with interest from behind, staring at this prey, calculating when he would die
She shuddered just thinking about it.
No wonder my brother in the previous life said sadly at the end that he had no relatives.
At that time, she thought that other relatives were also killed by the Fifth Master, but now it seems that this is not the case...
