336 Chapter 336: It's better than doing nothing
Nan Li's mouth twitched.

It seems that Dali Temple is also poor.

That's all, one or two is one or two, it's better than doing nothing.

Besides, this matter should be related to her elder brother, so she must intervene.

She waved at Qin Zheng and said a few words in a low voice.

Qin Zheng listened carefully, then nodded hurriedly: "I remember it!"

Nan Li said: "Then please leave it to Mr. Qin, everything goes according to the plan, it's better not to make any mistakes."

"Princess, don't worry." Qin Zheng assured.

Immediately, Qin Zheng summoned his men and surrounded Xue's mansion.

He also asked Ming Chong to escort him, lest any evil talisman harm people this time and make them overwhelmed.

Dali Temple suddenly came to surround Xue's mansion, causing quite a commotion. The common people watched the commotion at the door, speculating what happened to Xue's family, which attracted the officers and soldiers of Dali Temple to arrest them.

The Xue family all arrived in the front yard.

Patriarch Xue had a cold face, but Qin Zheng's official rank was above him, so he could only cup his hands and asked, "What did my Xue family do? What's the meaning of Master Qin's making such a big fight? "

His Xue family has a century-old family and is well-known in the capital.

What happened to him today, how could he save face.

Qin Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, with his head held high, "Master Xue, I found out through investigations recently that the deaths of several servants in your family were not accidental. Because several lives were involved, I brought people here today to search and find out. justice for the dead."

Xue's family whispered to each other, a little frightened.

They are all high-ranking masters, and they have abused their servants more or less, and some servants have indeed lost their lives because of this.

They didn't care, because it was cheap to spend a few taels of money to silence their family members, and the matter could be easily exposed.

If there are not enough people to use, let someone else send in another batch.

Now Dali Temple actually came to search and arrest people because of these servants. In the eyes of Patriarch Xue, this is simply absurd!

Patriarch Xue said coldly: "Lord Qin, there are only a few servants whose lives are worthless, and you are going to search my Xue family's mansion?!"

"Master Xue's words are wrong. Even if a beggar on the street is killed by someone, Dali Temple will investigate to the end! Not to mention that there are several lives now!" Qin Zheng raised his chin slightly, and said in a harsh voice, "Besides, I now suspect that It was your Xue family who murdered Master Song! So today, I must dig the Xue family three feet into the ground and search it out!"

In the crowd, Shuang'er couldn't help shaking.

Although Xue Shengnan pretended to be terrified, he felt that Shuang'er was strange, so he grabbed her hand to calm Shuang'er down, but don't get confused at this juncture.

Patriarch Xue's complexion changed drastically, and he said: "Fart! My Xue family is upright, why would I murder a seventh-rank official! Besides, he also made a marriage agreement with my daughter earlier!"

Mrs. Xue also took a step forward, and glanced at Xue Shengnan by the way, her tone was harsh: "That's right, Mr. Qin should check whether some people's lives are too hard, which is why Master Song suffered a terrible disaster."

Xue Shengnan's nose was sour, and he had already acted like he was wronged.

In front of outsiders, Patriarch Xue still defended his family, and glared at Mrs. Xue, "What nonsense? It's obviously Song Zihan's own bad luck, so it has nothing to do with Shengnan."

Mrs. Xue was scolded, but she didn't care, she snorted and continued: "But people outside don't think so, they say that your eldest daughter's life is not good, and my Xue family's feng shui is not good either! Now that I'm old, it's good, there's no way to talk about marriage."

Xue Yan'er is also used to being pampered. When her mother said this, she felt a sense of anger in her heart, and her eyes were fierce: "It's all your fault, you are a villain!"

Xue Shengnan lowered his head as always, without saying a word, with a lovely and pitiful appearance.

If Qin Zheng hadn't suspected Xue Shengnan for a long time, he would have pitied her at this time and said a word or two for her.

But business still needs to be done. He didn't want to hear about the chaos in Xue's family, so he said: "Master Xue, I am only handling the case impartially. If you are dissatisfied, you can impeach me."

Then, he waved his hand, telling the officers and soldiers to disperse immediately, and wanted to search the inside and outside of Xue's mansion.

Patriarch Xue gritted his teeth, unable to speak his anger, and could only wait for the people from Dali Temple to search before making any plans.

Not long after, officers and soldiers rushed to report: "My lord, I found something!"

Qin Zheng raised his brows, and immediately brought people over. Patriarch Xue was also panicked. Was it really the Xue family who killed Song Zihan?

When he arrived at the courtyard where he found something, Patriarch Xue's face was pale.

Because many talismans and seals were found in the house, as well as Gu worms kept in bamboo tubes.

Ming Chong and the imperial physician followed, and after inspection, they said with absolute certainty that these were evil talismans, or all kinds of harmful Gu insects.

"Whose yard is this?" Qin Zheng asked coldly.

Patriarch Xue stared at those things, and after a while, he came to his senses, "This is... this is my second daughter's yard."

Qin Zheng looked at Xue Yan'er, "I didn't expect Second Miss Xue to be proficient in such harmful things at such a young age."

Xue Yan'er can only be arrogant and domineering. When encountering such a thing, she panics and doesn't know what to do: "Mother, it's not me...these things don't belong to me, I don't know why there is something wrong in my room. These things appear."

Madam Xue protected her daughter behind her back: "Don't worry, I won't let you be wronged."

Afterwards, she glared at Qin Zheng, and asked, "Are you framing people? My daughter is only less than fifteen years old. How can you do such harmful things?"

Qin Zhengdao: "Mrs. Xue said carefully, Dali Temple has always been upright in handling cases. Master Song was killed by the soul-snatching talisman. This talisman is not easy to draw, but now Taoist Master Ming Chong has verified it. The evil aura it raises is exactly the same as the one in the Soul Seizing Talisman!"

Everyone was stunned for a while, but the only thing they understood was that Xue Yan'er harmed Song Zihan.

At this time, Xue Shengnan's eyes turned red, and a few crystal clear tears fell down: "Second sister, you don't want me to get married. To put it bluntly, I will definitely let my father call off this marriage. Why are you so vicious and beat Mr. Song? I got hurt..."

Xue Yan'er's mind was still confused, but when she heard Xue Shengnan's words, she suddenly became furious.

"I wish you could marry him and live in poverty. How could I harm him!" She yelled viciously, "Bitch, it must be you! You don't want to marry that bumpkin, so you killed two birds with one stone!"

Xue Shengnan cried weakly: "How could I disobey my father's wishes, Second Sister, don't wrong me."

Xue Yan'er became even more angry, and wanted to rush up and tear Xue Shengnan's mouth open.

But Qin Zheng had ordered the officers and soldiers to take Xue Yan'er down.

Mrs. Xue was angry and anxious: "Lord Qin, are you blind?! My daughter would not even be willing to step on an ant to death. How could she kill someone? The most important thing you should investigate is Xue Shengnan!"
