Chapter 56 It's actually pretty good

Su Xing felt that God still cared about him. When he was at a loss in the face of Ye Linghan's soul-searching, Liu Yan happened to appear: "Meet the Regent."

Su Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really scared to death. How could he answer that kind of question?

Ye Linghan is really interesting. Doesn’t he have any idea whether he is cruel or not?

So many people are scared when they see him, like mice seeing a cat. Doesn't this speak volumes?

Ye Linghan was looking forward to Su Xing's answer, because no matter how Su Xing answered, he would have a reason to teach this guy a lesson.

But he was suddenly interrupted, and it was Liu Yan who had made many mistakes recently. You can imagine how ugly his face was...

Liu Yan originally came to greet Ye Linghan excitedly. He thought that his series of reforms would be recognized by Ye Linghan, but unexpectedly, Ye Linghan seemed to dislike him even more and even showed an expression that he wanted to kill him.

What's going on?

Liu Yan was so frightened that he dared not even breathe. He glanced at Su Xing like a thief, and bumped into Su Xing who was giving him a grateful look.

Both of them were stunned, and then they stared at each other, until Ye Linghan's cold voice came: "Where is the butler?"

The two men came back to their senses instantly. Liu Yan calmed himself down and replied, "Reporting to the Regent, it's in the secret room in the prison. I will take you there right away."

It was the first time that Su Xing knew that there was a secret room in the prison, and that it was equipped with a mechanism that could only be opened by someone with authority.

As I walked into the secret room, I saw two men dressed as guards looking at the butler from the left and right, like door gods, with their eyes wide open, as if they were afraid that the butler would disappear out of thin air.

This scene, which was supposed to be solemn and dignified, turned out to be a little funny, and Su Xing almost laughed out loud.

Ye Linghan seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He turned around and glared at Su Xing, then glanced sharply at Liu Yan...

The two were so frightened that they immediately looked away and lowered their heads, not daring to make any noise.

The moment the butler saw Ye Linghan, his body began to tremble. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Ye Linghan at all.

Ye Linghan was in no hurry to interrogate him. He just looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at a dying ant.

The secret room was already quiet, and Ye Linghan's presence added endless horror to the quiet atmosphere, as if this was not the Ministry of Justice's prison, but the Yama Palace in the underworld.

The butler was shaking more and more violently. He could not even stand. He was swaying and about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, the two guards reached out and supported him.

At this moment, Ye Linghan finally spoke: "Raise your head."

His voice was not loud and his speech was slow, but it sounded like nails driving into everyone's brain, and everyone shivered uncontrollably.

The butler dared not disobey, but his body was out of control and he couldn't even raise his head.

The two guards were afraid of getting into trouble, so they quickly lifted the butler up by the chin, one supporting the other.

The butler's face was full of fear, especially his eyes, which were wide open, as if he had seen the King of Hell who was taking his life.

"Who asked you to kill someone?" Ye Linghan asked again: "Was it Li Sheng or Xia Chengxun?"

Su Xing finally understood why Ye Linghan asked the butler to look up, it was just to see his reaction at that moment.

He saw clearly that the housekeeper's eyes first flashed with disbelief that his secret had been exposed, then turned into endless fear, and finally shook his head frantically to deny: "No! I wanted to kill him myself, no one ordered me to, I did it to avenge Li Si!"

Ye Linghan pretended not to hear the butler's answer and continued, "Tell me what you know, and I can protect your family."

The butler became even more anxious after hearing this. The cold sweat on his forehead was like rain. He shook his head and waved his hands frantically: "My Lord Regent, this matter really has nothing to do with my master. It was really done by me. Please believe me, Lord Regent!"

Ye Linghan did not show any anger or other emotions because of the housekeeper's repeated denials, and he remained as cold and calm.

However, his voice was even deeper than before: "You only have one chance. If you miss it, it will be gone."

After a pause, he continued: "Or... do you think they can really defeat me? And keep you alive?"

After the words fell, Ye Linghan's eyes, which were like an endless abyss, suddenly showed a look of contempt and arrogance, as if everything was under his control and no one could escape...

The butler was forced to look at Ye Linghan and saw the look in Ye Linghan's eyes clearly.

His legs suddenly went weak and he collapsed.

He just seemed to have seen a real devil...

Ye Linghan glanced at the butler on the ground with disdain, then slowly turned around, as if he was about to leave.

At this moment, the butler suddenly exclaimed: "It's the master!"

Ye Linghan turned back again, his expression unchanged.

"It was the master... who ordered me to do this..." An expression of regret appeared on the butler's embarrassed face.

Hearing this answer, everyone showed a shocked expression, it really is the Xia Mansion...

But Ye Linghan was an exception, as if he had known about this for a long time: "Is Marquis Mu Yuan in Xia Mansion?"

The butler opened his eyes and looked at Ye Linghan in horror again, as if asking: How did you know?

But soon he looked depressed, and nodded weakly: "In..."

He was Xia Chengxun's confidant, so he knew about this matter. Not only that, but also about Li Si's matter...

Today's trip to the Ministry of Justice was very fruitful. On the way back, Ye Linghan looked much better, although he was still very cautious.

Su Xing felt as if he had missed something, but he couldn't remember what it was.

Ye Linghan noticed Su Xing's frown and asked coldly, "What are you thinking about?"

Su Xing suddenly came back to his senses, and looked at Ye Linghan for a moment before he told him what was wrong in his heart.

Ye Linghan sneered disdainfully: "Instead of worrying about something you can't remember, you might as well spend more energy on the case."

Su Xing was so angry that he should not have told Ye Linghan the truth.

Ye Linghan really doesn’t understand anything. This is just his intuition as an investigator, okay?

Although it sounds a bit mysterious, it is often the key to solving a case.

Ye Linghan knew that Su Xing was angry. His lips were pursed tightly, and he had an expression of being angry but unable to speak.

For some reason, the scene was very interesting and he was very satisfied with it.

Not only that, he wanted to tease.

So he narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said meaningfully: "You haven't answered the question I asked just now..."

Su Xing: "..."

He would rather continue to listen to Ye Linghan's cold and sarcastic scolding of him than continue discussing with Ye Linghan whether he was cruel.

However, there were only two of them in the carriage now, so there was no chance of them being interrupted.

So, he was forced to answer.

"I think..." Su Xing considered every word very carefully in his mind, and finally blurted out: "The Regent is actually... a pretty good person..."
