Tan looked at Qi Yue first, and seeing that he didn't look panicked at all, she felt relieved. Then she turned to look at Liu... No! Why was she a little nervous?

If Qi Yue was wrongly accused, why didn't she look as angry as Zhu ?

Did Qi Yue really do something in that yard? "Master Zhang, I've already said that I didn't rent that yard, nor have I been there. You need to have evidence to inquire." Qi Yue didn't take it seriously, picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.

"Do you have a guard named Zhang Yuan?"

At this point, Marquis Qi frowned.

"have."

"He signed the lease, can you ask him to come and answer?"

Qi Yue smiled brightly: "Why not? Grandfather, you see..."

Tan sneered, "Master Zhang, Qi Yue has already said that he did not rent the yard. He was not the signatory of the contract either. You should go find whoever signed it. From the beginning, you keep talking about Qi Yue. Are you trying to get him involved? If that's the case, why are you asking? Just convict him directly!"

Zhang Jiangqing said respectfully, "Madam, today I came to the Qi family to question them instead of directly summoning your third son to the government office. This is also a respect for the Qi family. I hope you understand."

When Tan heard this, he stopped talking.

Marquis Qi looked at me with burning eyes, but he still said nothing.

Qi Youyi said, "Master Zhang has misunderstood. How could the Qi family not know your good intentions? However, what you said is really too bizarre. Father, why don't you call Zhang Yuan over to ask him?"

After a while, Zhang Yuan came in.

Qi Yue looked at him with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Tan said, "Guard Zhang, your ancestors have always been with the Qi family. You were placed by the Marquis himself by Qi Yue's side. You must be a cautious and rule-abiding person. If Lord Zhang has anything to ask, you should answer carefully. With the Marquis here... don't be afraid."

Marquis Qi didn't look at his wife, but he knew that she was worried.

What was going on? Who was messing with the Qi family? Why did they start with Qi Yue? He had no power, and he was not a hindrance to anyone...

Zhang Jiangqing had already started asking, "Zhang Yuan, did you rent the house in Huojia Hutong?"

Tan, Liu, and Qi Yue all stared at Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan nodded, "I went to find the middleman, looked at the house, rented it, and cleaned it. But it was someone else who asked me to rent it."

"Who is it?"

Everyone looked at him.

"Feng Jian. He is also the Third Master's bodyguard."

Zhang Jiangqing said: "You are both guards, why did he ask you to rent a house?"

"He said: Third Master asked me to do it!"

"Nonsense!" Tan said loudly, "If your Third Master wanted to rent a house, wouldn't he have told you directly? Why did he go around in circles and let Feng Jian tell you?!"

"Madam, I don't know about these things. Feng Jian made some requests, so I went out to find a middleman. I looked at a few places and told Feng Jian about them. A few days later, Feng Jian pointed to this place, so I rented it, arranged for someone to clean it, and then handed the key to Feng Jian."

"My lord, please call Feng Jian over!" said Tan.

After a while, Feng Jian also came. As a result, he came up and pushed it away: "My Lord, sir, I don't understand what Zhang Yuan said. I didn't ask him to rent it, and I haven't been there. I have been with the Third Master all day, and I haven't seen the Third Master go there."

Tan looked at everyone with a sneer: "What else is there to say? My Lord, someone is colluding with each other and wants to harm Yue'er!" She glanced at Madam Qi and her son and Wen Yu viciously.

Qi Youyi's back was sweating. Could it be Cui's doing? Qi Hou ignored everyone's attitude and said, "Master Zhang, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled next?"

"I have recorded the interrogation just now. Just sign and seal it. I am afraid that Guard Zhang will also be taken away."

Marquis Qi was silent for a while before he slowly said, "Zhang Yuan's grandfather died because he saved me. I also watched Zhang Yuan grow up... He doesn't seem to have done anything wrong.

If you have questions, I can find a room for you to ask in detail. Moreover, I promise that you can come and ask anytime in the future. As for taking him away... I thought: You should wait until you find out the identity of that woman, or wait until she wakes up and can testify. "

Zhang Yuan's eyes were slightly wet.

Qi Yue snorted in his heart and lowered his eyes.

Zhang Jiangqing nodded. "Since the Marquis has said so, then let it be so. Guard Zhang, you mean... after you handed over the key to this courtyard, you never went there again."

Zhang Yuan nodded: "I stay at home during the day and go back to accompany my father at night. Occasionally, I go out and have someone to accompany me. So, I have never been to that place."

Zhang Jiangqing said, "I will go back and check, or wait for the woman to wake up... My Lord, excuse me for disturbing you!" After he said that, he left.

Although there was no result, Wen Yu also understood that this kind of thing could not be accomplished overnight. Just wait and see! But a birthday party was finally disrupted.

The Marquis was in a heavy mood. He sat in the main seat for a while and said, "Zhang Yuan, come to the front. You guys..." He looked at everyone, "Whatever you want!"

Tan hurried back to her yard, and Qi Yue followed behind.

"What's going on?" Tan asked as soon as he sat down.

"Someone is trying to harm me." Qi Yue remained calm.

"I know someone is trying to harm you, so you have to tell me the truth. Did you rent that yard?"

"yes."

Tan was not surprised or dissatisfied, but frowned slightly: "Then why did you say that someone harmed you?"

"Because the woman before was already dead. So, the living woman Zhang Jiangqing said he found there was simply a frame-up." He spoke of the matter calmly, as if he didn't take it seriously at all.

Tan also ignored this matter: "That means Cui and his friends...Okay, they are going to take the initiative."

"Grandma, do you mean that Duanmu is also one of them?" It was the first time that Qi Yue felt very happy talking to her grandmother.

"I haven't figured out the details yet. But there is one thing. A master in Wenyu's shop encountered a robbery and murder, and was saved by that bastard Duanmu. Now, he is still living in his house! Although it seems that there is no cause and effect between these things, how can it be such a coincidence?"

"Qi Yang, Wen Yu...I won't let them go!" Qi Yue said hatefully.

"Grandma won't let them go either, but that's a story for later! Do you have any leverage over me?"

Qi Yue stopped talking...

"You! You... Will he tell the Marquis?"

Qi Yue shook his head: "He won't, and he doesn't dare! He is the bodyguard my grandfather gave me. In this life, he only has me as his master. If he betrays his master, no matter what the reason, my grandfather will not let him go. Besides, I have already told him... If he dares to sell me out, his father and brother will lose their lives!"

"Yes. That's the reason." Tan nodded, "Then you should have thought of a solution earlier..."

"I haven't wanted him for a long time, but it's hard to get rid of him."

"Stupid! You can't get rid of a guard, and you can't kill him?"

"Don't worry, this time, Grandfather will definitely do it for me. Let him commit suicide out of fear of the crime, and it will be over once and for all!"

After hearing this, Tan nodded. Based on her understanding of the Marquis, killing Zhang Yuan was the best solution both publicly and privately.

"Your father's plan is still undecided. Even if you are pretending, you have to pretend well. Did you see your grandfather's face just now? Do you think he can protect you like your grandmother did if something really happened? Humph. Moreover, if your father's plan is ruined because of you, your father will not forgive you!"

Although Qi Yue was still not convinced, he didn't dare to say anything.

Tan frowned and thought...

"Things may not go as smoothly as we thought... I'll write to your father and ask him to make arrangements and come to Beijing as soon as possible."

…

Zhang Yuan and Marquis Qi came to the front and knelt down: "My Lord, I am ashamed."

"Do you have anything you want to say to me?" Marquis Qi looked at him.

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "I am stupid and incompetent, and I am not easy to use. Every time I do something, I make you angry. But because you arranged me to be by your side, you have to consider your face when you want to deal with me. So, you are in a dilemma."

Qi Hou snorted lightly: "Did he build the house in that alley?"

"My Lord, I only heard what Feng Jian said, and I didn't actually hear what the Third Master said. I also didn't see the Third Master go there with my own eyes. So, I know nothing."

Marquis Qi looked at him indifferently, and Zhang Yuan felt cold in his heart. He knew that the Third Master just wanted to use him as a scapegoat.

If he dies, the matter will be solved. I don't know if Wu Ye can save me... Mu Ling...

At this time, he could still think of Mu Ling, and his face turned red. He said earnestly: "My Lord, I have always been thinking about my grandfather's remains. My father is ill, and my brother is busy with official duties. They can't do this. But it has always been on my mind. I want to resign and move... my grandfather's remains back to the family tomb. Then, I just want to take care of my father for a hundred years. I have no ambition and no ability... My Lord..." He knocked his head to the ground, "I hope my Lord will grant me your blessing.

The Marquis thought of his grandfather, the guy who loved to giggle... and softened his heart, "Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "I am incompetent and I am ashamed of your trust."

Wen Yu and Qi Wu arranged for Laba to keep an eye on the situation. If anything unexpected happened, they would ask her to snatch the person away first.

"I don't know what grandpa will do." Wen Yu kicked Qi Wu with her little feet, and Qi Wu just stared at her, kicking again and again...

It was late at night, and Laba came back with the news, "Feng Jian committed suicide out of fear of crime..."

When Tan and Qi Yue heard the news, they were both very surprised and thought about it anxiously the whole night.
