Zhang Zhiyi glanced at Nangong Xiyun with displeasure. This was the second time she had insulted Zhang Zhirou.

A woman who swears at every turn does have some of the temperament of the vicious woman that Zhang Zhirou described.

"Miss Nangong, this is General Zhang's sister, please don't speak foul language!" Qin Yian looked at the "Miss Nangong" who had no manners and no image at all, and couldn't help but doubt her words in his heart.

A woman who is full of jealousy and petty will not be incapable of making false accusations in order to eliminate dissidents.

Could it be that the truth is really as Zhang Zhirou said?

"I don't care who she is! If she dares to frame my cousin, I will kill her!"

Nangong Xiyun has always been of noble status. Whether in Kyoto or Hengshan, she has never suffered such injustice!

Baili Moqing is her obsession, the person she vowed to get since childhood. How could she tolerate being defiled like this?

Zhang Zhiyi was completely angry. He exuded coldness all over his body, and the murderous aura honed on the battlefield was fully displayed at this moment.

"Captain Qin, is this the witness you officers are looking for?" Zhang Zhili stared at Qin Yian. "Such a domineering person, I think he is very similar to the 'vicious cousin' my sister mentioned!"

"Zhang, General Zhang, I, I..."

Qin Yian's heart was filled with bitterness. Zhang Zhiyi's eyes at this moment were like sharp thorns hanging on his back, making him feel numb all over.

"How dare you!" When had Nangong Xiyun ever suffered such an injustice? She immediately became furious again, "Who do you think you are? How dare you criticize me? My father is..."

"Uncle Zhang!" Baili Moqing said, his face icy cold. His pair of indifferent eyes seemed to hold the entire world, but couldn't hold even a single hair of Nangong Xiyun. "Send my cousin back to her room! Don't embarrass yourself here!!"

Zhang Bo's heart skipped a beat. Although he didn't know much about Baili Moqing, he had never seen him so angry.

Even when he was angered by Lady He last time, he had never had such a cold and terrifying look on his face.

Uncle Zhang pushed the struggling Nangong Xiyun into the room, then closed the door tightly, and finally left her with only one sentence.

"Miss Cousin, please think about the Nangong family!"

Sure enough, Nangong Xiyun, who had been furious before, calmed down instantly.

Thinking of the man's eyes and expression just now, she twisted her hands together tightly, and the uneasiness in her heart spread infinitely.

Seeing Nangong Xiyun calm down, Qin Yian subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

He really didn't expect that the seemingly beautiful and generous Nangong Xiyun's true character was like this.

If he had known this earlier, he would definitely not have believed what she said!

Qin Yian flinched a bit. Perhaps, coming here today was really a wrong decision.

"Are you satisfied with this 'family scandal'?"

Baili Moqing's seemingly self-deprecating words were actually an order to expel him.

Zhang Zhiyi stepped forward, bowed to Baili Moqing, and apologized, "Sir, I failed to discipline my sister properly, and I have caused her to be disrespectful. I am very sorry."

Zhang Zhirou expressed dissatisfaction on her face, but she was actually secretly relieved in her heart.

"Captain Qin, do you have any other questions?"

Zhang Zhiyi had a hint of displeasure on his face. Anyone could see that he was very dissatisfied with Captain Qin's actions this time, and even more dissatisfied with this farce!

What was most unsatisfactory was that Zhang Zhirou was also involved.

"Little, little me is gone..."

Qin Yian lowered his head and decided to leave it at that. This matter was strange and bizarre, and the people involved were very complicated. With his status, he was unable to delve into it.

Not to mention the two mysterious men of unknown identities in Anheju, even the big man who appeared in the Changshi Mansion next door was enough to give him a headache.

In addition, Zhang Zhirou was also involved at this time, and he, a small constable, really didn't dare to go on.

However, Shen San had no idea of Qin Yian's hardships and worries. At this moment, all he could think about was getting promoted and making money. He didn't want to let go of the opportunity that was already in his hand!

"Boss, we have witnesses!"

Qin Yian looked at Shen San with complicated eyes, and felt miserable in his heart.

Could he not know that they had witnesses?

What he was worried about was that no matter whether the witnesses identified the murderer or not, it would be a disaster for them!

What if the Chief Secretary was really behind the murder in the western suburbs? If the Chief Secretary sent someone to silence them but failed, and instead the criminal was taken back by them, would the Chief Secretary let them go so easily? Would he not make things difficult for them?

What if the prisoner was caught and said something unfavorable to the Chief Secretary? He couldn't arrest his own boss, could he?

"Someone, bring the witness outside here for identification!"

Shen San acted very quickly. As soon as Qin Yian's thought flashed through his mind, he ordered his men to bring the person over.

Helpless, he could only bite the bullet and explain, "General Zhang, a few days ago I found several eyewitnesses to the murder scene in the western suburbs. They had seen the murderer. If we can get them to identify him, the truth of the matter will definitely become clearer."

Zhang Zhiyi had obviously lost his patience at this point, but being always upright, he did not stop Qin Yian from identifying the person.

Zhang Bo, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel a pang of fear when he heard Shen San say there was a witness. No wonder Qin Yian was so confident when he came this time, but he didn't expect to find a witness!

If Lady He is recognized, wouldn't their cover-up be confirmed? Wouldn't that also expose the young master's identity?

Uncle Zhang was very worried and felt a little regretful at this moment.

After a while, Shen San's men came with three women.

Shu He recognized one of them at a glance. It was the old lady who had advised her to escape outside the door that day.

She was the only one who had seen herself up close.

When she looked at the old lady, she also looked at her. At a glance, Shu He knew that she had recognized her. She subconsciously clenched her hands.

Seeing something unusual on her face, Zhang Zhirou quickly turned sideways to block it so that Qin Yian and Zhang Zhiyi wouldn't notice anything.

"Come here!"

Shen San's shout frightened the women so much that they couldn't help but shiver.

Shen San grabbed a woman's arm and asked angrily, "Look, is the murderer you saw in this yard?!"

The woman was startled and glanced timidly at the people in the yard.

After looking around, his gaze returned to Shu He.

Among these people, it seems that only she has some similarities.

When Shen San saw her eyes linger on Shu He, he was immediately overjoyed. "You recognized her? It's her, right?"

"Boss, she recognized me!"

Qin Yian's face was grim. Unlike Shen San, he was not as excited as she was. Instead, he looked bitter. He walked over to the woman and slapped Shen San's hand away. He asked in a calm tone, "Auntie, is there anyone here who is the murderer you saw?"

Zhang Bo clenched his hands, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he couldn't help but look at Nanqi and Baili Moqing with worry.

Nanqi's expression was not very good either. Obviously, he did not expect that Qin Yian came prepared this time.

If that witness really confirmed Shu He's identity as the murderer, I'm afraid the master will be implicated! He couldn't help but look at his master, wondering what his mood was at the moment, whether he would regret helping Shu He and his mother a few days ago.

After all, he is still an exile. If people find out that his master has left the place of exile without permission and report the matter to Kyoto, the person in Kyoto will probably try every possible means to take action, right?

However, Baili Moqing looked calm, without any sign of abnormality, and just watched the events unfold calmly.
