"Stop talking nonsense, say another word and I'll kill you." Yi Er held the man down, while the others were gagged. They could only make muffled noises.
Yi Yi was in front, saying, "Take them to the Dark Pavilion."
Yi Er: "To be honest, I really don't understand. This Evil Eye's ability isn't that great, so why would anyone want to steal it and kill so many innocent people?"
Yi Yi glanced at him and said, "People who appear innocent on the surface may actually do things that are more despicable than evil people."
Yi Er nodded.
After sending the man to prison, Yi Er stood outside and handed some things to the other guards, saying, "Give these to our master."
"yes."
………
"Brother! Someone's here outside, but I don't recognize them."
Murong Jin put down her teacup, and Huo Yun'er stood behind her. "Judging from his clothes, he seems quite wealthy, like a young master from a rich family."
"Oh? Is he wearing black clothes and a black hair ornament, except that it has a ruby inlaid inside? Is he about seven feet tall, with a slender figure and a pair of almond-shaped eyes?"
"Huh? How did you know, brother? I didn't notice if his hair crown was inlaid with rubies, but it was definitely a black hair crown."
Murong Jin picked up her ever-present teacup again, poured herself a cup of tea, and slowly sipped it. "I reckon they're almost in the courtyard."
Huo Yun'er said "Oh," and Yu Jing'er, who had just come out of the room, also stood behind her.
Not far away in the corridor, someone did indeed bring over the young master that Huo Yun'er had mentioned.
The newcomer gave off a warm and welcoming feeling, with a gentle smile in his eyes. Huo Yun'er was amazed by his appearance, while Yu Jing'er frowned slightly. This man gave her the impression of a black peacock spreading its tail feathers...
"Your Highness, it's been a long time."
Murong Jin nodded slightly. "Sit down." Turning to Yu Jing'er, she said, "Serve tea."
Yu Jing'er grinned, "Yes, Your Highness."
Sitting in the courtyard, the man looked at Yu Jing'er's delicate and beautiful face, especially her clothes, which did not resemble those of a maid.
Before pouring tea for the man, Yu Jing'er squeezed Murong Jin's hand, then smiled and poured him tea, saying, "Please have some tea, guest."
Seeing that Murong Jin didn't resist, the man realized what was going on and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
I dare say that, apart from Murong Jin's family and younger sister, no woman would dare to touch Murong Jin like that.
Upon hearing this address, Yu Jing'er's eyes widened in surprise, then she looked at Murong Jin defiantly, "Master, he calls me sister-in-law."
Murong Jin glanced at her sideways, then curled her lips into a smile, "You don't like this nickname?"
"I like it, but what I want to hear most is someone calling me 'Regent's Princess'."
Murong Jin remained calm and composed, saying, "We'll see how you perform."
man:"……"
Why did they suddenly start flirting?
Moreover, judging from the situation, it seems there really is some connection.
When An Kesen came in, he heard the conversation between Murong Jin and Yu Jing'er, and even heard the man who might be Murong Jin's sworn brother call Yu Jing'er.
Sister-in-law...
Screw your sister-in-law.
Murong Jin and Yu Jing'er's relationship is still far from settled.
"Your subject greets Your Highness."
Murong Jin raised an eyebrow. No wonder that brat was suddenly talking to her in such a sweet and cloying way; it turned out someone had come over.
"Why is Commander An here?"
An Kesen frowned slightly when he saw the man in black. "You...aren't you acquainted with that young master from the Lin family?"
The young man in black grunted, "That's true. I came here today to inform the Regent."
"Lin Hexi's eldest son, firstly, he didn't die that night, and secondly, he was somewhat involved in this incident... well, directly involved."
Murong Jin: "What did you find out?"
"He touched the Evil Eye. You could say that something inside him was amplified by the Evil Eye, and he's been looking for an opportunity to do so all these years."
After a pause, the man smirked, "Find an opportunity to kill his simple and kind father."
Murong Jin's face remained expressionless, and the man naturally knew that this matter was nothing surprising to him.
Ankerson: "But what's the reason?"
"Lin Hexi was indeed honest and upright back then, but how could someone who has encountered evil possibly have a pure heart?"
"He magnified the filth in his heart, which is naturally the evil hidden deep within him..."
"That young master Lin, what you've found out is that he's not Lord Lin's biological son."
Ankerson: "Yes."
"He is the child of the woman Lin Hexi secretly took back, so he is naturally not his biological son."
"After that woman was secretly murdered, Lin Hexi raised her son, naturally gaining a lot of good reputation..."
"Moreover, the scene of his mother dying in front of him became a nightmare for Young Master Lin for the rest of his life..."
Ankesen: "This..." is different from what they found in their investigation.
"More than twenty years have passed, so naturally nothing can be found out. Besides, Lin Hexi lives several days and nights away from the capital. He is also a government official. What he does behind the scenes, how could the capital possibly find out?"
"Besides, with his good reputation for so many years, other people naturally wouldn't think much of it."
Murong Jin looked at him and uttered only two words, "Evidence."
The man looked helpless. "I knew you'd say that. Here you go. I only came here because I've already investigated all the evidence."
