When she and Chu Qingyun suddenly approached the investigation office, Xiao Qi came out to greet them first. Seeing that it was them, her expressions became unnatural.

"Lord, you are back."

"Well, how are you doing in the group?"

Xiao Qi still replied respectfully: "I have received more commissions than before, but they are not big orders, but they are all completed well."

Ye Qingran glanced at her and nodded: "I understand, you go ahead and I'll go in and take a look."

Although Xiao Qi's performance was normal, she still caught a hint of panic in his eyes. But it was obvious that there was something wrong in the team. Xiao Qi knew it, but it had nothing to do with him, so he just asked her I was a little panicked at the time, but there was nothing strange about the follow-up.

After walking into the courtyard, Ye Qingran found that there was no one in the courtyard and the room was very quiet. However, there was still steaming tea in the tea cup on the stone table in the courtyard. It was obvious that they were there just now.

If something went wrong, there must be a monster, so she shouted directly: "Come out, everyone, and count the number of people."

It wasn't until she finished saying this that other members of the investigation team began to come out of the room, with more or less uncomfortable expressions on their faces.

"What are you doing hiding in your room, huh?"

Ye Qingran glanced at them, but did not find Changsheng, "Where is the Changsheng?"

Someone replied: "I went on a mission and will be back soon."

"Okay, then you just stand here and wait for him to come back."

Ye Qingran looked around them and roughly counted the number of people. Indeed, only Chang Sheng was missing.

After she arranged the new investigation team she brought from the village, Changsheng happened to come back.

After he saw Ye Qingran, he saluted respectfully: "I have met the Lord in Changsheng."

"How long have you been out?" Ye Qingran asked.

Changsheng answered honestly: "Only intermittently, for about ten days. This commission is more complicated. Although it is not difficult, it is very detailed, so it took a little more time."

Ye Qingran nodded: "Have there been any problems in the Investigation Department recently?"

After hearing this, Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem like that. I've been out recently, so I might have made an oversight."

Ye Qingran turned back to look at Chu Qingyun.

Chu Qingyun knew a little bit. He nodded, indicating that the problem here had nothing to do with longevity.

Then she nodded: "Sit down and rest first."

She looked at the others and said, "There has been something wrong in the investigation team recently. I know it. You'd better tell me clearly now, otherwise you will be punished when I find out!"

After hearing this, Changsheng realized that there was something wrong with the investigation office.

Even if it seems that the problem has nothing to do with him, he is the captain of these people, and he must be responsible for any problems they have.

Under Ye Qingran's sharp eyes, many people lowered their heads, some were still whispering, but no one stood up.

"Okay, very good. Since no one has said anything, I will ask them one by one. When I find out the problem, I will not only reprimand and punish them, but I will almost beheaded if I am lucky."

She stopped in front of them and her tone was so cold that those who were targeted by her began to sweat on their backs.

Finally, someone couldn't hold on any longer and said, "Sir, someone has embezzled the entrusted money, and..."

When he heard this, Ye Qingran had already frowned, not expecting that there was something more serious.

"If there's anything else, tell me quickly."

"We also investigated the wrong person, punished him privately, and drove him away. There is no way to make amends..."

"Then let me ask you, does this matter have anything to do with you?"

The speaker shook his head quickly, but nodded again: "I have nothing to do with embezzling money, but I advocated a self-investigation, but in the end I blamed the wrong person. This is my responsibility. I admit my mistake and I will punish the master."

There were beads of sweat on his forehead, as if he was about to be beheaded.

Ye Qingran suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Where are the people who were kicked out by you?"

"He didn't know where he ran. When we found him again, he had been beaten to death... We asked and he said he was very hungry and stole something and was found and beaten to death..."

Hearing this, Ye Qingran was a little angry: "Why didn't anyone notify me when something like this happened?"

That man didn't dare to say anything anymore, and everyone else lowered their heads and remained silent.

"Lord, it's my fault for not noticing these problems earlier. Punish me if you want."

Changsheng knelt in front of Ye Qingran and took away the blame.

Ye Qingran looked at him: "As the captain, I handed over the investigation department to you. You are naturally at fault when something goes wrong, but after all, you are out on a mission and don't know about it. I don't blame you. Get up." Bar."

She turned around and shouted, "Xiao Qi, come here."

Upon hearing the call, Xiao Qi hurried over from the hall: "My lord, what are your orders?"

"I remember that you had a share in the bookkeeping. Didn't you even notice that someone was lining your own pockets?"

Xiao Qi was a little embarrassed: "Come back to the master, I am only responsible for writing down the income and expenditure and keeping a record. I will write down as much as they report. I am not very good at accounting..."

Ye Qingran suddenly had a headache.

When she left, she really failed to plan the settlement. After all, there were no big commissions at the moment, they were all small businesses. She didn't expect that such a small business would have problems.

"Forget it, I have no intention of beating around the bush with you right now. Those who embezzled money, if you stand up now, I can keep you alive. When I find out, I will kill you on the spot."

Her tone was cold, which surprised even Chu Qingyun on the side.

After a while, someone stood up, knelt on the ground and cried: "I... when I was performing my mission, I secretly kept an extra two taels of silver, and there is no more... I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again." I don’t dare anymore…”

He took out the silver and offered it with both hands, his voice trembling so much.

Ye Qingran took the two taels of silver and felt a little resentful: "You are obsessed with just two taels of silver? You are really worthless."

She held back her anger, "Is there anything more? I'll ask one last time, is there anything else?"

No one else dared to come out.

"Okay, in that case..."

She pulled up the crying man who was lying on the ground, "I want to spare your life for the sake of your honesty. These two taels of silver will be regarded as your severance pay. From now on, you will no longer be a member of my investigation department. Leave the capital, and if you dare to come back, I will kill you, so get out."

Upon hearing this, the man didn't care about anything else, nodded and ran out.

I just saved my life. As for what happens in the future, I'll tell you later.

"I know there are others among you, but I have given you a chance, but you don't cherish it."

She sneered, "Changsheng, bring me the sword."
