The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 85
"A member of the Ji family? Who is a member of the Ji family?"

Just as Li Buyan muttered something, Zhu Qing was already standing in front of her.

Li Buyan: "How..."

Zhu Qing whispered: "Stop talking and take care of your young lady."

His tone was so heavy that it made people feel a little panicked.Li Buyan subconsciously touched his waist and quickly stood in front of Yan San's body.

Only then did Yan Sanhe stop coughing and raised his head, just in time to see the man dismounting from his horse. She immediately understood why the voice just now sounded familiar to her.

Enemies meet on a narrow road, and the person coming is none other than Xu Lai, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

During the search of Ji's house this time, Jin Yiwei was the main one, and the Punishment Department was the auxiliary. The Jin Yiwei entered from the front door, and the Punishment Department entered from the back door.

When Xu Lai turned his head, he actually didn't see Yan Sanhe and the others, only Zhu Qing.

He had met Zhu Qing several times, and he was the most useful person around the third master of the Xie family.

Everyone in the capital knew that Third Master Xie and Pei Xiao, from a family of imperial doctors, were good brothers who had been together naked.

Pei Xiao's mother's family is the Ji family.

At this moment, Zhu Qing and two people sneaked out of the back door of Ji's Mansion. Could it be that he had received information in advance and wanted to hide someone?

I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.

Xu Lai didn't care about Sanqi 21 and shouted first.

As soon as he shouted, several guards from the Criminal Department tightened their reins, turned their horses' heads, and surrounded the three people on three levels inside and three levels outside.

Zhu Qing clasped his fists and said, "Master Xu, these two female relatives are from our Xie family and have nothing to do with the Ji family. Please make it convenient for Master Xu."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Lai immediately knew that the news of the house raid had been leaked, and he became more and more certain that the two people behind Zhu Qing were guilty of something fishy.

"Why did the female relatives of the Xie family come out of the Ji family?"

Xu Lai smiled contemptuously and said, "Get out of the way. I will not let you go until I verify your name and identity."

Zhu Qing has been with Mr. Xie for many years and is very aware of the current situation. Confronting him will only make things worse.

So, he stepped aside generously and said, "Master Xu, please check."

Xu Lai had never seen Li Buyan before and asked, "What's your name?"

"Li Buyan."

"Is her name on the book?"

"Sir, there is no such person."

"Ok!"

Xu Lai raised his chin and said, "There is another one. Come forward. What's his name?"

Seeing that he was fine, Li Buyan took a step aside generously.

The person behind him slowly raised his head and said, "Yan Sanhe."

When she raised her head, Xu Lai was shocked.

It was her!

He stared at Yan Sanhe with sadness, and said in his heart: I am worried that I will not have a chance to retaliate, so you guys came to my door. The current situation...

hum!

Then don’t blame me for seeking revenge!
When Yan Sanhe saw Xu Lai staring at her, he knew something was wrong and said proactively: "I'm not from the Ji family. My name is not on the roster."

Is this up to you?

Xu Lai said sternly: "When you come out of the Ji family, you are a member of the Ji family. Come, take it away!"

Changes happen in an instant.

Before anyone else could react, Li Buyan already held the soft sword on his waist and tapped Xu Lai lightly.

"I think who dares?"

Auntie, why are your hands so fast?
Zhu Qing's heart was about to jump out of her throat, but her face was unusually calm.

"Master Xu, take a closer look. The wound on Miss Yan's forehead is still there. My master came to the Ministry of Punishment to pick it up in person. Have you forgotten it?"

He is truly worthy of being the person around Xie Laosan, with a hidden sword in every word.

First, remind him not to tell lies with his eyes open;
Move Xie Daozhi out again and warn him not to carry it unclearly.

If you can’t carry it clearly, I think it’s your Xie family!
Injuring my son and smashing my plaque from the Ministry of Punishment, today is the perfect time to settle the score together!
"I don't care if she is Miss Yan or anyone else. It's a felony to come out of Ji's house, it's a felony to bring a sword in the blue sky, it's a felony to threaten officials, it's a felony to resist arrest, it's a felony to resist arrest."

Xu Lai's eyes widened angrily and he said sternly: "Here comes someone, please hurry up and take it down for me!"

"Wow!" All the guards pulled out their swords in unison.

Li Buyan took his time and drew an arc in the air with his soft sword.

My aunt hasn't done anything with anyone for a long time, and she's itching. Come on, let's see how I kill you one by one!

"Miss Li!"

"Li Buyan!"

Two voices shouted at the same time.

Li Buyan only looked at Yan Sanhe: Why, don't let me fight!

Yan Sanhe shook his head slightly and said coldly: "Li Buyan is my maid. She has just arrived in the capital a few days ago and doesn't understand the rules in the capital. You don't need to take it. We will go with you."

When Zhu Qing heard Yan Sanhe speak like this, her heart that was hanging in her throat suddenly fell back to its original position.

"Master Xu, if you don't rush to Ji's Mansion, the real people who are registered may escape through the back door."

Xu Lai either really wanted to do something to them, or he just wanted to use this house raid to humiliate and retaliate and embarrass the Xie family.

"take away!"

Upon hearing this, the guards from the Criminal Department put away their swords, got on their horses, and galloped away, leaving six guards behind to escort the three of them to the back door of Ji's house.

Yan Sanhe pointed at Xu Lai in front of him: "Is this person avenging his private revenge?"

Zhu Qing couldn't answer directly, so he had no choice but to nod.

Yan Sanhe: "Against me or the Xie family?"

Zhu Qing: "..."

Zhu Qing said the word "thank you" silently, and the expression on Yan Sanhe's face immediately relaxed.

On the side, Li Buyan interjected very calmly: "Let me tell you, Miss and I are not the kind of people who cause trouble!"

Are you still not in trouble?
Zhu Qing, who had always been a calm person, couldn't help but want to imitate Master Pei and roll his eyes.

……

At this moment, the Ji family's guards filed in, heading straight to the left, middle, and right.

Just a moment later, the originally quiet mansion suddenly exploded with shouts, cries, and scoldings, one after another, making people's scalp numb and their heartbeats racing.

Xie Zhifei silently glanced at Pei Xiao's blue face, "Let's go, you can't help here."

"Chengyu, I suddenly regret it."

"Regret what?"

Pei Xiao was silent for a moment, "I regret not telling them that the old lady couldn't close the coffin. If they could be like my uncle when they heard Yan Sanhe's words, they would have fought to the death to hold on."

Speaking of this, Xie Zhifei felt guilty for a while.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, hurry up and leave!"

"Let's go!" Pei smiled and gritted his teeth.

One of them was wearing the official uniform of a military commander, and the other was wearing the official uniform of a civilian official. No one dared to stop them wherever they went.

When several Jin Yiwei guards saw it was Mr. Xie, they even greeted him.

Xie Zhifei returned the greeting and said in a low voice, "I wonder who will be sent by the Emperor to take charge of the house confiscation this time?"

Pei Xiao said weakly: "You want to help me walk?"

"I don't have the ability!"

Xie Zhifei thought for a moment, "When we see him later, we beg him to go, at least not to make the Ji family suffer too much."

"Yup!"

Pei Xiao gave a high-five and a little hope lit up his face.

While they were talking, the two of them had already reached the entrance of the courtyard. Wherever they looked, there was a dark scene of guards in brocade uniforms.

Not far away, under the shade of a tree, stood several officials, all gathered around one person.

The man stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a strong sense of nobility.

Xie Zhifei's eyesight was very good and he could tell who that person was at a glance. He couldn't help but grab Pei Xiao's hand and said in horror: "Look, why did the emperor send him here?"

Pei Xiao looked over and was dumbfounded.

It turned out to be him!
