Lin Yi took people to Yuan Mansion located in Qinghua Hutong in the southeast of the city.
The door of the palace was closed, and the guard raised his hand and knocked hard.
After a while, a servant opened the door.
Just as the servant was about to speak, the gold-belted guard pushed him away. The servant staggered back and fell to the ground. The guard opened the door wide again, and Lin Yi entered surrounded by all the guards.
The servant who fell to the ground shouted in panic.
Hearing his voice, more than a dozen servants in the mansion rushed toward the gate of the mansion with weapons in hand.
But when they saw the gold-faced guards and a group of gold-belted guards, they were so shocked that they did not dare to move rashly. A servant also hurriedly reported to Yuan Huo.
After a while, Yuan Huo, a doctor from Zhongfeng, came in a hurry.
This is a man in his forties.
He has a dignified appearance, white and beardless, and has a somewhat elegant temperament.
This person is none other than Yuan Huo.
Yuan Huo was surprised to see the golden-faced guards and more than 20 gold-belted guards standing in the courtyard. He saw a servant falling to the ground and the front door was broken, and he was very angry.
Yuan Huo walked up to Lin Yi and cupped his hands and said: "Sir, although you are a golden-faced guard, I am also a fourth-rank official. Why did you bring people into my house? Why did you injure my servant?! Sir, please give me
An explanation! Otherwise, I will go with you to argue with the Holy One! I don’t believe it..."
Lin Yi took out the unobstructed pass token given by the emperor.
Yuan Huo's angry voice suddenly stopped when he saw the token.
Lin Yi put away the token and said: "Master Yuan, I came here today to do important things. So my brother was impatient and acted recklessly. Please forgive me, Master Yuan."
Lin Yi was a golden-faced bodyguard and had an unimpeded order. Although Yuan Huo was angry, he no longer dared to have any objections.
Yuan Huo asked the servants to retreat.
Yuan Huo said: "Sir, if you have anything important to do, please come into the room and talk."
Lin Yi was invited into the living room by Yuan Huo.
Qing Hong and two gold-belted guards followed Lin Yi into the hall, while the others stayed outside.
Yuan Huo asked Lin Yi to sit down, and the servant brought tea.
After the servant went down, Yuan Huo asked: "What's important, sir?"
Lin Yi took a sip of tea and said, "Master Yuan, can I get rid of the parents with you first?"
Although Yuan Huo was confused, he did not panic because he was an honest official and had no hidden secrets. As the saying goes, a person who is upright is not afraid of a slanted shadow.
Yuan Huo said: "Okay."
Lin Yi said: "How many wives does Mr. Yuan have?"
Yuan Huo said: "There is only one room. I have a deep friendship with Zhuo Jing, so I did not accept a side room."
Lin Yi said: "How many heirs does your Excellency have?"
Yuan Huo said: "Two sons and one daughter."
Lin Yi asked again: "What's your surname, Madam?"
Yuan Huo said: "The surname is Wei, and the single name is Yiqin."
Lin Yi asked a few more questions, and Yuan Huo answered them one by one calmly.
Lin Yi stared at Yuan Huo again and said, "Sir, have you ever heard of the name Fairy Centipede?"
Yuan Huo looked confused and said, "I've never heard of it."
Lin Yi could tell from Yuan Huo's expression that Yuan Huo was not lying.
Unless Yuan Huo is an unfathomably terrifying person, he can hide it from Lin Yi. But Lin Yi can feel that Yuan Huo does not know martial arts.
After Yuan Huo finished answering, he said to Lin Yi: "Sir, I have said it all. Please don't ask me, sir. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Lin Yi said: "It's like this. A treasure was stolen in the palace. We caught a palace maid, and she confessed that she was ordered by Mrs. Yuan. Mr. Yuan has always been clear-minded, so I came to ask about it myself."
Yuan Huo was very surprised when he heard this. No wonder the golden-faced guard personally brought people to the house.
Yuan Huo stood up and said with excitement: "How is this possible! This palace maid bites people randomly. How could my wife do such a thing!"
Lin Yi said: "Your Excellency, there is no need to be excited. I also know that the palace lady may say nonsense when she is in a hurry. So I want to see your lady. Please clarify it in person. If it is really the palace lady who bites people, clarify the facts so that you and your lady will not suffer injustice."
injustice."
Yuan Huo said: "Sir, wait a moment, I will call Zhuo Jing now."
Yuan Huo left the living room first to call his wife.
Lin Yi said to Qing Hong: "Have everything been arranged?"
Qinghong said: "Don't worry, sir, everything has been arranged. Our people are everywhere outside the house, including the surrounding houses. Not even a bird can fly out."
Lin Yi said: "That's good."
Lin Yi no longer worried about Fairy Centipede escaping upon hearing the news.
Lin Yi made up excuses just to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
After a tea break, Mrs. Yuan freshened up and changed her clothes, and followed Yuan Huo to the living room.
Mrs. Yuan looks to be in her mid-thirties, petite, and quite pretty.
Mrs. Yuan has already heard her husband explain what happened.
She had no contact with anyone in the palace, so she didn't panic.
Mrs. Yuan saluted Lin Yi and said, "I have seen the golden-faced guard."
Lin Yi said: "Madam, there is no need to be polite. I came to the house to ask you a few questions."
Mrs. Yuan said: "Excuse me, sir. It would be best if the palace maid confronts me in person to prove my innocence."
Lin Yi did not respond to her. He said to Yuan Huo: "Master Yuan, can you let me and my husband speak alone?"
Of course Yuan Huo would not agree with letting his wife be alone in a room with a strange man.
Yuan Huo said: "That's not necessary. I am her husband. You can talk to me about anything. There is no need to avoid it."
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yuan said: "Master, just agree. The golden-faced guard is a close confidant of the emperor. Naturally, he is an upright person. He will not do anything to me. After asking, he can also prove my innocence, and I will not let you, master, be innocent."
Reputation damaged."
Lin Yi smiled and said: "Madam is still thoughtful."
Since his wife said this, Yuan Huo nodded.
Then Yuan Huo and Qing Hong left the living room first.
Qinghuo closed the living room door tightly from the outside.
Only Lin Yi and Wei Qin were left in the living room.
Lin Yi and Wei Qin sat across the table.
Wei Qin said: "Sir, may I ask?"
Lin Yi looked at Wei Qin and said: "Madam, in fact, no treasures were stolen from the palace. I did not arrest the palace maids. However, I arrested a woman who was as fat as a pig. Her name is Sister Fei'er. She confessed that the lady is the Centipede Fairy..."
Mrs. Yuan was shocked when she heard this.
Only then did she realize that she had been fooled.
Although Mrs. Yuan tried her best to remain calm on the surface, the flash of shock in her eyes could not escape the observant Lin Yi.
Lin Yi behind the mask had a smile on his face.
Mrs. Yuan concealed her inner panic and said: "Sir, what is Sister Fatty? What is Fairy Centipede? I don't understand. If I don't understand what you say anymore, I will call you my master."
Lin Yi continued to stare at Wei Qin and said aggressively: "Master Yuan is an upright and clear man, do you really want to harm him?! Also, your two sons and one daughter are also innocent. Does Madam also want to do this?
Are they being implicated? You have remembered it clearly! Is it just you who is responsible for the work alone, or does it involve the whole family?! You are Fairy Centipede, and you hide it from them. I think your original intention is to keep them out of it, right?"
Lin Yi's every word was like a knife stabbing Wei Qin's heart.
Wei Qin could no longer remain calm.
Her expression turned ugly. She stared at Lin Yi and said, "Who are you?!"
