Chapter 64 Bai Yan is captured
Bai Qianxi resigned herself to going over to pick up the book. When she lowered her head, she was shaken by something. She looked up and saw that there was an iron handle behind the black cat standing.

"There's something here." Bai Qianxi reached out to grab it...

Out of reach.

An almost inaudible sneer came from behind.

Bai Qianxi gritted her teeth.

The man had come behind her, holding her waist with one hand and touching the handle with the other hand. There was a click and the bookshelf in front of him actually shook, with a flash of silver light.

There is a mechanism.

The first thing Bai Qianxi did was to grab the black cat.

After all, it is a life!
Her waist was pulled hard and her whole body was thrown into a warm embrace. She heard the sound of a hidden arrow piercing the wooden frame. Then she slowly raised her head and met Ye Beiling's cold eyes.

"Don't want to die?"

"I'm lucky!" Bai Qianxi was still frightened, but still said stubbornly.

After the silver arrow was shot, a secret door behind the bookshelf slowly opened.

"Let's go." Bai Qianxi turned her head to look at Ye Beiyi, then raised her foot and prepared to go in.

But he didn't expect to be pulled back by someone, "Wait, I'll go ahead."

Looking at the tall figure standing in front of her, Bai Qianxi felt a little strange in her heart, but she did not reject his kindness.

The two walked in the dark room, unable to see their hands in front of them.

Ye Beiyi took out a tinderbox, blew it to light it, and with the light, the two of them were finally able to see their surroundings clearly.

What can be seen are some horrifying torture instruments.

Even the air was filled with a faint smell of blood. Both of them were very familiar with this smell. It was obvious that this place was frequently used by its owner.

If you look closely, you can see some minced meat hanging on the hooks.

Ye Beiyi's face was as dark as ink. "This old guy! Once we find the account book, even if he dies ten thousand times, it won't be enough!"

Bai Qianxi's face also looked unhappy.

She suddenly thought of Liang Kang's previous announcement that his third wife had died of illness one after another. If she was right, there might be some water in the water of death from illness...

Ye Beiyi also thought of this, especially when he thought that if he hadn’t discovered it in advance, Bai Qianxi would have almost been forced by the Bai family to marry such a rotten man!
Thinking of this, Ye Beiyi exuded an extreme chill all over his body, as if he could freeze everything.

"Ye Beiyi, are you okay?" Noticing that something was wrong with him, Bai Qianxi spoke with some concern. Could it be that his injuries had not healed yet?
Now this person is her most powerful supporter. She hasn't left the Bai Mansion yet, so she has to rely on him in many things. She can't let anything get into trouble.

"I'm fine." Hearing Bai Qianxi's concern, Ye Beiyi shook his head. The coldness in his body gradually disappeared, but he still felt a little cold.

The two walked forward side by side, looking around vigilantly, wondering if there were any other mechanisms in this dark room.

In the silent space, the faint scent of grass and wood spread. Ye Beiyi glanced at the person next to him. This was the first time he noticed her being so quiet and serious.

"It seems there is no mechanism." Bai Qianxi said.

"You'd better be careful, so as not to get into trouble. If I hadn't been there just now, I'm afraid your life would be in danger now." Ye Beiyi said lightly.

Bai Qianxi glared at him fiercely but did not argue.

She was indeed a little anxious just now.

The two continued to walk inside. The dark room was very large, until they reached the innermost layer.

"Search separately and be careful."

The wall in the dark room was inlaid with several huge night-shining pearls, which were worth a fortune. There were also several large wooden boxes on the ground. Bai Qianxi curiously opened them and was immediately blinded by the dazzling golden light and countless gold, silver and jewels.

I opened several boxes in a row and found the same thing everywhere.

How rich is this? With so many gold, silver and jewelry, even she couldn't help but be tempted.

Ye Beiyi also looked over, and seeing Bai Qianxi's excited eyes, he teased, "You don't want to take all these away, do you? Then you can only think about it, but before they enter the treasury, you can still enjoy them for a while."

"Humph! Ill-gotten gains, so what if I took it? I don't believe Liang Kang would dare to go looking for it in a big way. Besides, if I took it, would you really report me?"

Bai Qianxi glanced at Ye Beiyi and finally closed the wooden box. She didn't come here for these gold, silver and jewelry.

Continue searching and it won’t be long.

"We found it!"

Bai Qianxi was pleasantly surprised to hold in her hand a thin booklet, which contained evidence of Liang Kang's bribery and deceiving his superiors and subordinates over the years!

There are also several letters between them.

With this, Liang Kang is finished!
"Let me see it." Ye Beiyi took the account book and flipped through it a few times before nodding, "It's true, but how did you come to the Liang family to look for the account book?"

"Of course I came here as soon as I thought of it!"

Looking at the bright and confident woman in front of him, whose clear eyes sparkled under the illumination of the night pearl like the brightest stars in the night sky, Ye Beiyi looked away unnaturally.

"Okay. I've got the account book, and now I'll leave it to you."

"Ok!"

Ye Beiyi nodded, and the two separated. Bai Qianxi left the Liang family quietly.

On the second day, before daybreak, a group of soldiers came and surrounded Bai's mansion.

The clever doorman had already run to the inner hall to report the news when he saw that these officers and soldiers had ill intentions.

Bai Yan rushed out immediately, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw the situation in front of him, especially when he saw that the officer and soldiers in front of him were led by the patrol captain.

Although he was not usually responsible for patrolling the capital, he had the obligation to supervise all officials. Usually, only officials who had committed crimes would be "received" by them in person.

Now that such a person appeared in front of his own door, how could he not be terrified.

"Sir, I wonder what you are doing..."

"Without further ado!"

Before Bai Yan could finish his words, he was interrupted by the other party. "Our lord suspects that you are related to the case of corruption and bribery by the former salt inspector Si Yun and Liang Kang! Under the order of the Third Prince, I will take you all for questioning. If you have anything to say, save it for later in prison. Come on! Arrest them all!"

The leader waved his hand, and Bai Yan was immediately restrained and knelt on the ground with his hands tied behind his back.

At the same time, another team of soldiers rushed into the Bai residence. Soon, everyone in the Bai family was arrested, and they looked extremely embarrassed. "Let me go! What are you doing! Take your dirty hands away! Who allowed you to touch me?"

As soon as she reacted, she was caught. She struggled so hard that she didn't even notice that her hairpin had fallen off. But as a delicate and frail lady, she was no match for these strong soldiers.

He was firmly controlled in an instant!

Bai Qianyi hadn't yet, but at this moment, Bai Qianyi noticed Bai Qianxi walking towards her leisurely.

His expression suddenly became crazy.

"Bai Qianxi, is it you? Did you cause trouble outside and offend someone again? And bring trouble to the family!"
