A dark villain came to Jinting Bulaoxiang

"Sir, don't think that we are restless and quarreling with each other on weekdays. They are all small fights. But when it comes to harming others, we would not dare to do it even if we were given ten courages!"

The maids ran over and knelt before him, crying and shouting, looking as if they had suffered a great injustice.

Sikong Yan looked at them coldly. He wanted to see how to use this incident to drive them all away. They were in the mansion all day long and it was annoying enough.

Unexpectedly, Yu Zhu cried and pointed at Si Zhe and shouted: "Master, Master, I know, the murderer is him!"

"Nonsense! Get out!" Sikong Yan was angry.

"I'm not talking nonsense! We were all fine when he wasn't here! But as soon as he came yesterday, something happened to Liu Qi! Everyone, tell me if what I said makes sense?"

The other maids all nodded after hearing this. It made sense, this happened when he came yesterday. As soon as he arrived, Liu Qi disappeared. Who else could it be if not him?

"Yes, yes, that makes sense, sir. I think she is the murderer!" Lu Wan also pointed at Si Zhe and winked at the others.

Yes, we can take this opportunity to get rid of this dead beggar in front of us. So the other maids pointed at Si Zhe and shouted affirmatively: "Sir, I think she pushed Liu Qi down."

Si Zhe pouted: "I think you guys pushed her down together!"

"Ah, sir, this stinky beggar has framed us, you have to stand up for us!" They never expected that Sizhe would bite back.

"How did I frame you? You are the ones with the most motive in this mansion!"

Sikong Yan followed the situation, and the maids below cried out for injustice one after another.

"Master, although we only quarrel a little, the relationship between us sisters is deeper than that. Master, you can't say that about us!" She prayed to the heaven and worshipped the earth.

"Besides, we were the first to report his disappearance to you, sir. You asked us to look for him, and we searched the entire mansion, but we couldn't find him! How could we have a motive to commit a crime! Sir, we are innocent!"

"Speaking of motive, this stinky beggar has a better motive. Because when he came, Liu Qi disappeared. It's just that we didn't notice it at that time."

"Is this also possible?" Everyone nodded.

Guard Shi himself disliked Si Zhe, and he stroked his chin and said, "That makes sense!"

Seeing that someone agreed, Yu Zhu and the others raised their heads proudly and said one after another: "When Captain Chen came yesterday, Liu Qi left, and then the stinky beggar disappeared. The young master asked us to look for her, and we found her. It must be him who did it, and he should be executed on the spot!"

"Who wouldn't say anything if they opened their mouths? Where's the evidence? When you saw her, was she by the Daning Lake?"

Sikong Yan sneered.

“Although she’s not at the lake, she has the best motivation!”

Lu Wan held on tightly. She hated Si Zhe so much, why did the young master always speak for him?

"Then where were you when you saw him?" Guard Shi asked Lu Wan.

"In that forest!" Ling Qiao pointed.

Guard Shi was delighted and thought there was progress, so he asked again: "What did you see him doing?"

"When we saw him, he was tied to a tree!" Lu Wan replied.

"What?" Guard Shi couldn't help scratching his head. How could he commit a crime when he was already tied up? It was obvious that there was someone else behind the scenes!

"It can't be her!" Guard Shi and the other soldiers felt very strange!

But Kong Yan sneered: "So I said that you are the most suspicious! Is that wrong?"

Hearing the young master say this again, the maids started shouting again. "Young master, do you hate us so much? I've already said, it's not us anymore."

"This is not something that you can hate or not! This is a matter of life and death, you can't just say who is who without thinking. You have to use evidence to prove it!"

Sikong Yan threw another splash of cold water over them, chilling the servants. They thought that Liu Qi was killed by the young master himself, and then he put the blame on them so that they could all be driven out! Does the young master hate them so much? What did they do wrong? It's all the fault of this damn stinky beggar! If he didn't come, we were fine, but when he came, we suffered!

Their teeth were almost broken, and they finally squeezed out a sentence from between their teeth: "Then the young master is also a suspect!"

When they said this, they thought the young master would get angry, but unexpectedly, he nodded and said coldly: "Yes! All the people of Qi Wang Xiaohan are suspects."

The maids heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. Since the young master had already put them in jail, what was there for them to be afraid of? But Sikong Yan changed the subject and made them all nervous again.

"I have been sitting in the Qingxin Cottage reading and writing these past two days. I have never left the room! Even if you left, I would still be in the room! Everyone can prove this."

"Yes, yes, the young master has been staying in the room all the time and has never come out. I can prove it!" The maids nodded in confirmation.

"So I can say that I have no motive at all!" Sikong Yan continued, "I and Si Zhe can both be ruled out."

"Uh this?" How could you do this, sir?

The maids didn't dare to say anything, as there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Hong Meng said loudly: "Master, we have been either accompanying you or cooking in the kitchen these past two days. How can we have the time to commit a crime?"

"And, if we push Liu Qi into the lake, would we still dare to go to the lake to wash and retrieve clothes? A thief will always feel guilty!" Yu Zhu said in a crying voice.

"Yeah, that makes sense!" Sikong Yan nodded: "You can also rule it out."

The other maids burst into laughter when they heard this: "Master, you are so bad! You scared me to death!"

Guard Shi and the others also said, "We have been patrolling outside the palace and have never been to the lake. The brothers can testify to this!"

"Yes!" Sikong Yan nodded: "You can all be ruled out!"

Everyone was puzzled: "Young Master, everyone has ruled out this possibility. Could it be that Liu Qi jumped down by herself? How is this possible?"

"Hey, wait!" Sikong Yan waved his hands: "Did we miss a detail?"

"What's the problem?" Everyone became nervous again.

"Who tied Sizhe under the tree in the woods?" Sikong Yan looked very emotional as he tickled her big earlobe with his index finger.

Everyone's eyes slowly turned to Sizhe and asked collectively: "Who tied you under the tree?" They thought the murderer was the person who tied him up.

Unexpectedly, Sizhe's answer disappointed them greatly.

"Guess who it is?" At such a young age, he has learned how to keep people in suspense.

"How can we guess this?"

"Hey, hurry up and tell us, don't keep us in suspense, this is the key to catching the murderer!" Hong Meng was anxious. This person is too dangerous, what if he comes to harm us again if we don't catch him?

Si Zhe stretched out his index finger and pointed at the maids and guards. They were all terrified... Would his finger point to him?
