The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 151 Happy Tuesday

Duke Sui was so shocked by the arrival of these people that he was speechless. Lin Shanjuan took the initiative and said, "If he hadn't been shaved and hidden away, Duke Sui would have sent so many people to take Chang Lingyue away long ago."

Qi Yili slammed the table just in time and said, "Duke Sui, do you take everything Lord Lin said seriously?!"

Duke Sui stammered and couldn't say anything, and kept crying "unfair" for a long time.

Qi Yili didn't have the patience to argue with him: "With the evidence and witnesses, I can only uphold justice. Push Chang Lingyue out, tomorrow at noon..."

"His Majesty--"

Duke Sui finally came to his senses for a moment and interrupted Qi Yili before he could finish his words:

"Old minister! Old minister... During the reign of the late emperor, I was given a golden medal. Now, old minister... old minister is willing to exchange... a lifetime of military achievements, generations of glory, and this golden medal for my son's life. I hope Your Majesty will grant it!"

A glimmer flashed in Chang Lingyue's eyes, and he looked at Lin Shanjuan with an evil smile, murderous intent bursting out.

Lin Shanjuan smiled. The Duke's request was exactly what she wanted.

Chang Lingyue has been in trouble for many years and has enemies everywhere. Without the protection of the Duke's Mansion, how long can he survive outside the capital?

Perhaps, he would die before he could take action.

Qi Yili certainly would not insist on killing the entire family in the court. In order to avoid disappointing other ministers, he pretended to be sad and reluctant and agreed.

At this point, Ji Shihan's other arm was completely broken.

After the court session, Lin Shanjuan was busy investigating the affairs of Duke Sui's Mansion. She couldn't wait to find any clues about Ji Shihan.

Duke Sui has known Ji Shihan for many years, so he must know a lot about him. Now is a good time to go treasure hunting!

She rolled up her sleeves excitedly and rushed into the Suiguo Mansion, but after searching for a whole day, she found nothing.

"Boss, let alone useful things, there aren't even many letters."

Lin Shan scratched his forehead tiredly, then stood up and went in, unconvinced. "You guys go back and eat, I'll look for it again."

Qi Zhen and Bai Shu looked at each other and had to ride back quickly to take turns after dinner.

Lin Shanjuan led his men to conduct a carpet search, leaving no corner of the pond untouched, but still found nothing.

This old villain Ji Shihan must have foreseen that Duke Sui would fall, so he took the initiative to destroy everything here!

It was still dark when the court was about to start, and Duke Sui was not at home, so it was a good time to take action.

She leaned on her waist in frustration and looked around. The maids and servants were also being driven out. She called out to them, "Who among you is serving the Duke personally? Come over and talk to me."

Soon, more than a dozen people moved in front of Lin Shanjuan.

She drank a cup of tea, took a deep breath, and then asked, "Tell me where Sui Guogong often goes when he is in the mansion."

A few people looked at each other and thought for a while before coming up with a few answers. Lin Shanjuan memorized these places in his mind, sent them away, and started looking again.

It wasn't until the sun came out the next day that he finally found a wooden box under the bed in the side room.

When Lin Shanjuan opened them with surprise, she found that they were not letters exchanged with Ji Shihan, but were all sent to a person named "Xu Jing". She did not know him, so it seemed that she had to continue investigating.

——Princess Mansion——

After breakfast, Qi Zhaomian leaned against the pond to feed the fish. She threw the fish food out intermittently from her fingertips. The fish jumping out of the water below did not attract Qi Zhaomian's attention. Her eyes were blank, and she was lost in thought.

Yue Liu was already a mature monitor. Seeing this, he took the initiative to report: "Last night, the prince consort led people to search the Suiguo Mansion and did not go back to rest until this morning."

Qi Zhaomian frowned slightly: "Didn't you sleep all night?"

Yue Liu nodded: "But fortunately, we found a clue, but we still need to investigate further."

Qi Zhaomian put down the fish food and said, "After lunch, prepare the car and go see what she has found."

The tone of this sentence was obviously much higher, probably because she was going to see the prince consort, so her mood was much better.

Yue Liu nodded, then recalled something: "Yesterday, Xue Ying and Mr. Cen had a secret meeting behind the rockery. I was far away and didn't hear clearly."

Xue Ying, Cen Li.

These two people are really as annoying as rats.

"Are they having an affair?"

Yueliu nodded: "Yes."

Qi Zhaomian sneered, he didn't expect that these two people could actually fall in love with each other.

Since that’s the case, why not help them?

Anyway, we have used them up and it is time to kick them out. Otherwise, Juan'er still cannot come back and will have to sleep in the Qingzhengsi. Wouldn't that be too hard for him?

"Keep a closer eye on them. If they want to get away with it, let them do it."

"Yes."

——General's Mansion——

Old General Ye Xiurong sat on a high seat, accompanied by his wife, looking down at Ye Xi and Ye Lang.

Although Ye Xiurong was over fifty years old, his voice was still as loud as a bell, and his authority was undiminished. "Have you heard about the matter of Duke Sui?"

Ye Lang glanced at Ye Xi guiltily, but Ye Xi didn't respond to him, just nodded: "I heard about it."

Ye Xiurong nodded slowly: "Were you two involved in this matter?"

Ye Lang swallowed without answering. Seeing this, Ye Xi had no choice but to continue, "Yes. My daughter pretended to be Sun Yuze and entered the carriage as bait, cooperating with the prince consort to capture Chang Lingyue."

Seeing that she seemed to have something else to say, Ye Lang quickly interrupted her: "Father, I have repeatedly advised my sister not to do this, not to get involved in the court dispute, but my sister seems to have been bewitched by that Lin Shanjuan, not..."

"Yes." Ye Xiurong raised his hand to stop him. "Xi'er has done a good job on this matter. Since the Prince Consort is cooperating, it must be the will of His Highness and His Majesty. You are doing nothing wrong in following orders."

Ye Lang was stunned. He had originally wanted to turn the tables, but he didn't expect this result.

"Father..."

"You!" Ye Xiurong glared at him. "I've always told you to stay away from that Chang Lingyue. Fortunately, you haven't done anything wrong yet. If you continue to associate closely with someone like that, the reputation of our Ye family will be ruined!"

Ye Lang was unconvinced and wanted to argue, "I just thought that since he was born in the Duke's Mansion, his temperament and cultivation were naturally different from ordinary people, so I made friends with him. But my sister, she is inseparable from that Lin Shanjuan all day long. That woman is not a good person!"

Ye Xi's eyes were fierce: "Brother, be careful with your words."

Her eyes seemed to contain a threat. After all, Ye Lang had Ye Xi's support, so he could only swallow the rest of his words.

Ye Xiurong noticed the strange atmosphere between them and didn't ask any more questions, but just warned them.

"Lang'er, you should be more discerning in judging people in the future. Don't get too close to people like Chang Lingyue. If it's really boring, go to the military training ground. You've been very lazy lately, and it's Xi'er who's leading the troops. You should also be considerate of Xi'er. As a brother, you should do more."

It seems that Ye Xi didn't tell my father about my affairs. Ye Lang breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, my child will follow your instructions."
