After so much trouble, the sky had already begun to turn slightly white. While speaking, Young Master Lin glanced outside and frowned when he saw the situation.
It took him so long to get back from talking on Phoenix TV, and then such a big thing happened that kept him awake for most of the night. Wei An might not be able to sleep all night.
The third master breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the second master.
Young Master Lin arrived in time, saving them a lot of trouble. Otherwise, what Commander Wu said was true. If he wanted to take Wei An away, and there was a curfew tonight, he could not go to inform King Zheng, and Wei An might really be taken away.
How can a girl really go to a government office
Wei Yangqing also relaxed his frown and coughed, then walked forward and bowed to Young Master Lin to express his gratitude.
Young Master Lin nodded calmly and said directly, "I have something I want to discuss with Princess Shouning alone. Is that convenient?"
It shouldn't be convenient.
But now it was obvious that the Third Master Lin came for this matter, and there was another hidden story behind this matter, so even if it was inconvenient, it would have to be convenient. The Second Master nodded nervously, gently winked at the Third Master and the Fifth Master, went out and asked someone to serve tea, and then hurried to He'an Courtyard to tell Old Madam Wei what had happened before.
The room fell silent. Captain Xu led his men to guard outside, not afraid of being seen. Wei An sneered, "You really think highly of me."
The reason why he set up such a perfect plan was because Mr. Xie thought highly of her.
Young Master Lin's icy brows became even colder and harder. He pulled the corners of his mouth expressionlessly as Wei An said, "It seems that we have all underestimated this Second Master Xie."
He sat on the rose chair, his Feiyu suit making him look even taller. He paused for a moment before saying, "Xie Liangcheng and Xie Liangqing were not rescued by Zhao Qi by chance. He must have let them go on purpose."
This speculation is indeed somewhat creepy.
Wei An didn't say anything for a while.
If you put it that way, it makes sense.
Master Xie might have known for a long time that Zhao Qi wanted to rescue Xie Liangcheng and Xie Liangqing, or even that he had discovered Tan Xi who arrived later.
Tan Xi and Zhao Qi were both old members of the Xie family, and now they were both being used by her.
That's why Mr. Xie came up with this idea.
He deliberately let Xie Liangcheng and Xie Liangqing escape, and then followed and monitored them all the way, just to wait for such an opportunity. In order to make this plan perfect, he had to let go of a few bandit leaders, who would be lured into her house by them.
And then what is happening now is dying in her house.
Xie Liangcheng and Xie Liangqing had originally stayed in the bandits' den for such a long time, and had once been suspected by the local prefect of colluding with the bandits. It was very convincing to tell the story of something that had already happened, mixed with both truth and falsehood.
The testimony that Master Xie asked the servant to fabricate was also reasonable.
So what next
What would Second Master Xie do
Before, they were just making up stories and framing her.
But no matter how perfect this story is, it still has loopholes, just like what Young Master Lin and Captain Xu said when they refuted Commander Wu, even if those three people were bandits and died in her house, it cannot be proved that those three people were her who wanted to help Young Master Lin so she first provided them with shelter and protection and then killed them to silence them.
unless
Wei An's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly turned around and instructed Yu Qing, who was already stunned: "Go find He Sheng and He Xing tonight, and ask them to find Sun Xing to see who is absent tonight. Write down the list and go find the old lady immediately."
Commander Wu said that some neighbors saw her close associates appear near the house.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a confidant, but as long as it can be proved that it's a servant who is close to her, or even a coachman who drives her, the blame can be put on her!
And it wouldn't be difficult to bribe those people.
There was a huge storm hidden in the eyes of Lin Sanshao. After Wei An finished speaking, he smiled at her and said, "Ask Madam Wei to inform Shuntian Prefecture first and ask them to help find the escaped slave."
First classify them as fugitives, then no matter what they do, it will not implicate their master Wei An.
Wei An thought the same thing and nodded without hesitation: "I know."
Lin Sanshao hummed, wanting to say something to comfort her, but in the end he said nothing. He paused for a moment before briefly reassuring her: "I will set up checkpoints throughout the city to stop people. Go back and have a good sleep. If there is anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."
It was already this late, and he still had the mood to care whether she was asleep or not. Wei An looked at him helplessly, but still responded with a smile.
He turned around and told Nanny Wang to find the Second and Third Madams: "Tell the Second and Third Madams that all the servants who have entered and left our mansion in the past few days should be registered. The same applies to anyone who comes in to look for someone. If there are those who refuse to come, write down their names."
Nanny Wang responded quickly in shock and fear, and without caring about disturbing the Second and Third Madams so late, she ran away quickly.
It was almost the New Year, but the capital didn't seem to be very festive. Captain Xu followed Lin Sanshao out of the door. Before he could say anything, he heard Lin Sanshao give an order: "Take people to the Wucheng Bingmasi to ask for the person. I will personally interrogate him."
In recent years, the number of people tried personally by Young Master Lin could be counted on one hand, but in this case, he had to try the prisoner personally. Captain Xu was a little surprised, but felt it was reasonable. He laughed mischievously, but then remembered Young Master Lin's temper and quickly held back his temper. He quickly responded with a yes, took a few people on horseback and galloped to the Wucheng Bingmasi Yamen.
Young Master Lin led the rest of the people to Temple Street where the incident happened.
The house had been burned to a mess. The heavy door was already charred black. When it was kicked open, ash fell down and dust flew everywhere. People from the Five Cities Army were still searching and questioning people, and there were also people who gathered here to watch the excitement and refused to leave. When they saw the Jinyiwei, they all fell silent.
Young Master Lin glanced at the crowd calmly, waved calmly to let Ding Yin, who was walking in the front, come forward, whispered a few words to him, and then walked forward through the crowd.
Before the body was taken away by the Wucheng Army, Young Master Lin stood beside the body, took a glance, and calmly asked the coroner beside him, "How old is he?"
The coroner was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Young Master Lin would personally try the case, so he did not dare to delay and quickly lowered his head to reply: "The two deceased were about thirty-four or thirty-five, and the other deceased was younger, about twenty-five or twenty-six."
Young Master Lin nodded lightly.
Fortunately, the situation is not too bad.
