Chapter 422
After Eunuch He went in, he closed the door, opened the small bamboo tubes that fell inside one by one to check, sometimes nodded, and sometimes showed a thoughtful expression.

After a while, as if he had thought of something, he opened an information booklet he had collected before, and found an old piece of news.

It was talking about the many abnormalities and suspicious situations in Sifang Casino, and then related to the newly received information recently, the owner of the casino fled in fear of crime.

Then the news just came today, saying that the waiter in the Yuelai Inn died, his face changed. After his real identity was verified, he was the owner of the gambling house who had escaped.

All these things have confirmed the authenticity of what Shen Liuzhen said. He really designed to expose Wei's spies, and because of this, he put himself in danger of being assassinated.

After reading it, Eunuch He put the booklet back on the shelf, breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to think about what kind of bargaining chip to use to help Shen Liuzhen survive this calamity and continue to hide in Emperor Wei's place. around.

……

Xie Yuan returned to the Tingwei Office and just stepped into the threshold of the lobby.Ma Shuo crossed his legs inside, and said in a strange way:
"General Xie, where did you go in such a hurry?"

Xie Yuan didn't bother to look at him, he walked to the back of the table and sat down while pressing the saber on his waist, and said:

"Where is this general going, do I still have to ask Mr. Ma for instructions?"

Hearing that, Ma Shuo rarely stopped jumping. Instead, he showed a calm and confident look, and said with a sneer:

"That's not necessary, but I'm afraid that General Xie holds an important position and will use his position to bend the law for personal gain. As the deputy judge, it's always okay to remind me more, right?"

When Xie Yuan heard about it, Danfeng squinted at Ma Shuo with sharp eyes, secretly startled.

She thought to herself: When she goes out, she can be sure that there is no suspicious person following her.And when she met and killed Shen Liuzhen, no one saw her nearby.

What does he mean by that?Could it be that the Ma family's hands and eyes are open to the sky, and there is some power hidden in the dark, so that they can know her whereabouts and the ins and outs of the matter so quickly?
Absolutely impossible, if they had such a great ability, then Shen Liuzhen would have been exposed long ago, how could it be possible for him to drive a carriage out of the city gate and come back, and then enter the master's house safely?

Could it be... do they want to use this to attack Master?
Xie Yuan was worried about various speculations in his heart, but his face was still cold and calm.She untied the saber from her waist and put it on the table. The heavy weapon fell on the wooden table, making a dull "click".

Ma Shuo subconsciously glanced at Xie Yuan's hand, blinked a little guilty, swallowed nervously, and pretended to be calm.

Ever since he was severely beaten by Xie Yuan, he has been a little afraid of this person.

Because this person doesn't care about human feelings, doesn't care about the pros and cons of human relationships, and doesn't even look at his family background behind him, so he hits him whenever he says he wants to.

His own martial arts were not very good at first, and the reason why he was able to run amok everywhere was because of the power in his family.

In the end, when he met Xie Yuan, who didn't care about the gang, he instantly felt like he had lost his armor and was a streaker.

This feeling is too empty...

Xie Yuan asked straightforwardly and seriously: "What does Mr. Ma mean?"

Ma Shuo avoided looking at her, pouted his neck and said, "General Xie should know what it means."

Xie Yuan saw that he was not talking about life and death, so he looked away, tilted his head impatiently, and said:

"I don't have time to play charades with you, so if you don't want to say it, then don't say it!"

Immediately, regardless of Ma Shuo's reaction, he asked Zhang Qing who was waiting at the side:
"Which step have you investigated the case?"

Zhang Qing took a step forward, and reported respectfully: "Oh, I have already sent people to investigate the traces of Huayan. If nothing unexpected, there will be results soon..."

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion outside, and everyone looked outside.I saw a few people who looked like servants pressing down a petite woman who patched common clothes and came in.

When everyone was wondering, Ma Shuo stood up from the chair first, stepped forward excitedly, and said with a smile:

"Okay, great!"

Seeing Ma Shuo like this, Xie Yuan became vigilant and had a bad premonition.

"Who is this...?" Zhang Qing asked, pointing at the peasant woman, and pointing at the servants who were guarding her, "Who are you? This is the court's office, why did you just break in so casually? "

The yamen servant who followed them in just spoke: "They said it was..."

The conversation was interrupted by one of the servants with a full face.The man rolled up his sleeves arrogantly and said:
"What's the matter? Your Ting Wei Department is incompetent, let our Ma family members catch this lowly servant girl first, and it's fine if you don't give a reward. This is to punish you?!"

That insolent posture was even more high-profile than their young master Ma Shuo.

Xie Yuan especially couldn't get used to this kind of "bully" arrogance, so he threw out the arrow casually, and threw it directly at the man's face impartially, with a crisp "pop".

The servant didn't see clearly who beat him at all, but he covered his face in time and screamed again and again.

But Ma Shuo saw it, hesitated for a moment, and boldly stood in front of his own servant, pointing to Xie Yuan who was sitting on the seat, and said:
"Jie Yuan! Do you want to kill someone?!"

Xie Yuan couldn't think of this line. She froze for a moment, frowned and said:
"Mr. Ma, did you not wake up from your afternoon nap?"

Ma Shuo almost jumped up on tiptoe as if he had gained some confidence, pointed at Xie Yuan excitedly and said:

"The relationship between you and this lowly servant girl was broken, and you were beaten by Princess Huaizhen, so you felt resentful. In order to get revenge on Princess Huaizhen, you did not hesitate to spread rumors and insult the dignity of the royal family. Now the witness is here, you What else can I say?!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the Ting Wei Department was stunned. They looked at the peasant woman who was being detained, and then at Xie Yuan who was seated.

Xie Yuan was sitting behind the large desk in the lobby, with a sarcastic smile on his face, and slowly turning the gavel with his slender fingers.

She tilted her head, raised her majestic Danfeng eyes, looked through Ma Shuo who was blocking her view, and looked at the woman with her head bowed and disheveled hair. After squinting her eyes for a while, she barely recognized the person. Come on, ask a question tentatively:
"Flower smoke?"

When Huayan heard about it, she raised her face and looked at Xie Yuan in the hall. The light in her eyes flashed nervously, and then she shouted loudly:
"My son-in-law save me, my son-in-law save me!"
