County Magistrate Yin talked to Yin Ketian and asked him to apologize to Empress Xian.
Yin Ketian was furious, "Impossible!"
"I will never admit my mistake."
"Uncle, Empress Xian is just a woman, and we are so far away from the capital, why are you afraid of her?!"
"Besides, the land deed is in my hands now, so I have the final say, right?"
County Magistrate Yin ordered him, "Go and return the deed to Jiang Ming. No, send someone to deliver it directly to his home, and don't let anyone see it."
"When she asks you, just say you never took his land deed. As long as the deed is in his house and you insist you didn't take it, who can say you did?"
Yin Ketian was unwilling, "Why?"
"Why should I return this deed to him?"
"I won't return it!"
"His land is very fertile, and the fruits and vegetables grown there are much better than those grown on other lands. I don't want to give it away."
"Besides, I sold all his fruits during this period, and you got half of the money."
"You also know the profit involved, are you willing to give it up?"
County Magistrate Yin: I’m reluctant to do so, but my life is more important now.
"Do you want your life or your money?"
Yin Ketian snorted, "I want my life and money!"
"Uncle, I see you're getting more and more timid. That woman just said a few words and you were scared to death."
"If you don't dare, I'll go by myself!"
"I'll find someone to assassinate her!"
"Are you crazy?" County Magistrate Yin was completely helpless with this idiot. "If they find out about you, won't they find out about me soon?"
"Do you want us all to accompany you to the underworld?"
Yin Ketian chuckled, "I believe in my uncle's ability. He will definitely not let anything happen to me, right?"
County Magistrate Yin: I don’t give a damn about you.
"You'd better not be impulsive about this matter." County Magistrate Yin decided to persuade him.
"Uncle, I have to do this for our prosperity!"
"Uncle, if she investigates what we did in the past, who will she find out about?" Yin Ketian smiled. "Uncle, you have to be on the same page with me!"
"Otherwise we're all doomed!"
County Magistrate Yin fell silent upon hearing this. Yin Ketian raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "Uncle, our future depends on you!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
County Magistrate Yin's gaze fell on him until his back was out of sight. Then he spoke, "How is the task I asked you to do going?"
The guard beside him quickly said, "It has been done. Those previous things will not be traced back to you."
"That's not enough." County Magistrate Yin said with a fierce look, "Only the mouths of the dead are the most reliable."
Yin Ketian would betray him, so he couldn't stay.
County Magistrate Yin whispered something to the guard. The guard stiffened slightly, nodded, and left.
He didn't expect that County Magistrate Yin seemed to be extremely doting on his nephew on weekdays, but at the critical moment, he actually gave up on him.
The next day, Empress Xian received the news of Yin Ketian's death.
Yin Ketian went to a brothel yesterday and died in his room. People were saying that he died of happiness.
Empress Xian looked at the news in her hand and chuckled, "So that's how it is."
"Abandoned."
"Are you trying to kill me without any evidence?"
Empress Xian ordered the investigation to continue, "There's no way Yin Ketian didn't have a backup plan."
"Look for the person closest to Yin Ketian, and be quick."
"Yes." The guard immediately retreated to investigate.
Empress Xian narrowed her eyes and said, "Let's see who is better."
The guards investigated quickly. Yin Ketian's circle was large, but there were not many people who were closely related to him. The guards brought the person over after noon.
It was a girl. She was standing in front of Empress Xian, feeling very nervous.
"I, I don't know anything."
Concubine Xian looked at her quietly and smiled gently, "You and Yin Ketian used to have a close private relationship. You should know a lot of things, right?"
"You are his confidante."
In this sentence, Empress Xian used an affirmative sentence.
The girl was so frightened that her face turned pale. "No, no!! I do have some friendship with him, but we are definitely not his confidante. I, I don't know anything about him..."
"He also pretends to be very good in front of me. I don't know if he has done anything bad. I don't know."
Concubine Xian spoke calmly, gradually breaking down her psychological defenses. "People outside are talking about it. Could it be that you've known him for so long and never left the house?"
"I heard that someone in your family was sick and needed a large sum of money. However, you didn't have a stable job, yet you cured them and even bought them expensive medicinal herbs."
The girl was so frightened that she began to sob softly.
Concubine Xian's voice softened a bit, "I won't hurt you."
"Think about it, who could have killed him quietly? After killing him, would that person become suspicious, like me, about the people around him knowing his affairs?"
"If that person wants to keep his mouth shut, do you think he will come looking for you?"
"Then do you still have a way to survive?"
"Where are your family members? Is there any hope for their survival?"
"I want to protect you."
Concubine Xian walked up to her and held her hand, "Think carefully about whether you want to tell me or not."
The girl's psychological defenses completely collapsed. She was not Empress Xian, and had never experienced the intrigues of the harem. She was very scared, afraid that she would die and her family would die.
"I said, I said everything..."
