Bai Heng lowered her head and flipped through the booklet. It recorded all the evil deeds that Liu Dianshi had done over the years. She turned to one of the pages and looked at the contents, seeming to be lost in thought.
She suspected that Liu Dianshi might be related to Qin Tong's death that year, or even if not, he was an insider.
A few years ago, Qin Tong died. His youngest daughter Qin Shu thought it was not an accident, but the government closed the case as an accident.
Qin Shu then wanted to ask to see the prefect and ask her to investigate the matter in more depth.
Qin Shu had told her about this matter before.
However, she could never see the prefect every time. It seemed that someone had specially greeted her, and she didn't even have the chance to see the prefect from afar.
And now, Bai Heng’s subordinates have found out.
The person who stopped Qin Shu from meeting the prefect was Liu Dianshi.
Why did she do that?
The reason is easy to guess.
She didn't want the prefect to investigate Qin Tong's case anymore. She just wanted to classify Qin Tong's death as an accident.
Then why? She and Qin Tong are not related in any way, so why would I do these things?
There can only be two reasons.
One, she was bribed. Someone bribed her specifically to stop Qin Shu.
Second, she had a direct relationship with Qin Tong's death, so she was afraid that Qin Shu would meet the prefect and that Qin Tong's death would be found to be murder.
If it is the first one, then she can find Liu Dianshi and find the person behind the scenes.
If it is the second one, then Liu Dianshi is the murderer, or one of the murderers.
No matter what, Liu Dianshi must be found.
As for why Liu Dianshi disappeared, Bai Heng was a little confused.
If Liu Dianshi ran away because he was afraid that people would know that she was involved with Qin Tong, then now was not the time to run away. Instead, it would make him look guilty. Liu Dianshi would not be so stupid. Moreover, Liu Dianshi was very satisfied with this lucrative job in the government office. How could she leave so easily?
Bai Heng was more inclined to believe that Liu Dianshi might have been killed.
If this is true, then the person behind the scenes is even more ruthless than she imagined.

"Qingyue, you must do a good job in this assessment. This is the prefect's recognition of you, understand?"
At the Ye Mansion, Ye's mother was very happy to learn that her daughter was appointed by the prefect as the examiner.
This not only represents the prefect's appreciation for their Ye family, but also represents the prefect's recognition of her family's purity.
"Yes, mother, I will do it."
The county schools were merged to form the prefectural school. As a scholar, Ye Qingyue, who was about to take part in the provincial examination, would also need to study at the prefectural school.
The affairs of the provincial school were under the full management of the prefect Bai Heng, and not only the prefect but also the imperial court attached great importance to it.
Tongsheng and Xiucai can be exempted from examinations and directly enter the provincial school to study.
Others need to take an examination and pass it before they are eligible to attend the Tongsheng class as an auditor.
The assessment is not a big or small matter. Generally, the prefect will not go and will hand it over to someone he trusts. But now that this task has been handed over to Ye Qingyue, doesn't it represent the prefect's recognition of the Ye family and Ye Qingyue?
After receiving instructions from his mother, Ye Qingyue returned to his room.
Ye Qingyue was a little surprised to become the examiner, but he was not too excited, unlike his mother who was happy.
Ye Qingyue didn't think too much about it. He just had to do his job diligently.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the maid Lianzi walked in stealthily. She seemed to be hiding something in her arms, and she looked around, as if afraid of being seen.
Lianzi is the only daughter of Ye Qingyue's wet nurse.
After Ye's mother gave birth to her, she never fed her milk once.
