After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 126: Rebellion

Although he knew that it might be impolite to say this to a man, Xu Yingying was a girl herself, and she was very happy to hear Li Siqi say this.

Li Siqi finally reacted, "Are you going to Yihongyuan... like this?" He frowned tightly, a little dissatisfied.

"Yes, although it may be a little dangerous, this is the best option. No one has ever seen me like this, and it won't arouse suspicion. But I still need Your Highness to do me a favor and arrange things for me so that I can sneak into Yihong Courtyard and look for more evidence."

Li Siqi knew that he could not persuade Xu Yingying. Although he was a little worried, he quickly made arrangements for Xu Yingying. Not long after, Xu Yingying stood in Yihong Courtyard again.

This time, Xu Yingying avoided the crowd and sneaked into Zhang Xiaohan's house. Fortunately, she had been there several times before, otherwise, Yihongyuan was so big that Xu Yingying might not be able to find the place.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohan was not in the room, which gave Xu Yingying an opportunity.

Taking this opportunity, Xu Yingying searched everywhere in Zhang Xiaohan's house. Since Tuanna said that Zhang Xiaohan did not have any magic weapon on him, she thought that the magic weapon must have been hidden somewhere by Zhang Xiaohan.

But no matter how hard Xu Yingying searched the house, she couldn't find any trace of the magic weapon. Xu Yingying was a little unconvinced and wanted to search again, but she heard Zhang Xiaohan's voice coming from outside the door, and occasionally a man's voice.

Xu Yingying thought to herself that something was wrong and looked around, only to find in despair that she could not escape.

Suddenly, Xu Yingying caught a glimpse of the closet inside. After thinking it over, Xu Yingying decided to hide in the closet first.

In order to facilitate observation, Xu Yingying opened the wardrobe a little. It was not wide, but enough for Xu Yingying to see what was happening in the room.

Xu Yingying had just hidden herself when she saw Zhang Xiaohan walking in, embraced by a drunk man.

Zhang Xiaohan smiled sweetly and half-pushed the man down onto her bed.

Coincidentally, from the gap in the wardrobe, Xu Yingying could see everything happening on the bed clearly.

Zhang Xiaohan was seen lying on the man, burying her head in his neck and shoulders, flirting with him while absorbing his essence. But the man had been drinking and had a beautiful woman in his arms, so naturally he didn't notice anything unusual.

By the time he felt something was wrong, all the energy in his body had been sucked away by Zhang Xiaohan. Not long after, the man died and lay there motionless. Zhang Xiaohan then wiped his mouth with a look of disgust, muttering, "You're really useless. It's only been a short time and the energy in my body is gone." At this time, the Second Wife showed up. Xu Yingying did not have time to be too shocked by the murder scene and stared at the Second Wife. The Second Wife had always said that she didn't know about Zhang Xiaohan, but now that the facts were before her, she wanted to see what the Second Wife would do.

However, the development of the matter was not as Xu Yingying imagined. The second wife seemed to be not experienced in this but was used to it.

"You've come at the right time. Please help me deal with it." Zhang Xiaohan was not surprised or panicked at the appearance of the Second Wife.

The next second, the second wife picked up the corpse on the bed and walked out through the window. Zhang Xiaohan stretched and followed by the second wife. For a moment, Xu Yingying was the only one left in the room.

But Xu Yingying, who was sitting in the closet, was still a little dazed. She never thought that Zhang Xiaohan would actually instigate the second wife to rebel.

Xu Yingying didn't bother looking for the magic weapon anymore. She hurriedly came out of the closet and returned to the mansion as quickly as possible. When she returned to her room, Xu Yingying was still a little frightened.

Obviously, this was the first time Xu Yingying had encountered such a thing, and she felt like her worldview had collapsed.

Only then did she begin to feel scared. She remembered how dangerous the experience was in Yihong Courtyard just now. The Second Lady was very skilled in martial arts, and she didn't know what Zhang Xiaohan was right now. If they really met, Xu Yingying didn't know if she could get away from there alive.

Li Siqi hurried over after receiving the news. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Xu Yingying sitting there in a daze.

He called her in a somewhat strange way, but Xu Yingying did not respond.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Siqi stretched out his hand and waved in front of Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Li Siqi with a somewhat reluctant expression.

"Your Highness, you are here."

"But what did you find out?" Li Siqi saw that Xu Yingying's expression was very ugly, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Faced with Li Siqi's question, Xu Yingying did not respond at first, but just thought about her own things.

Seeing this, Li Siqi was not angry, but just sat there quietly waiting for Xu Yingying to sort out her thoughts.

"Your Highness, do you know that the Second Wife has rebelled?" Xu Yingying considered for a long time and finally told Li Siqi about this matter.

Li Siqi was shocked when he heard this. He could see that the Second Lady was hiding something from him, but he never expected that his most trusted secret guard would betray him one day.

Seeing that Li Siqi's expression was becoming more and more fierce, Xu Yingying sighed slightly.

"Are you serious?" Li Siqi still couldn't believe it.

Xu Yingying told Li Siqi everything that happened in Yihong Courtyard. She knew that Li Siqi would not believe it at first, and only by showing him evidence could she make him give up completely.

"If Your Highness still refuses to believe it, perhaps we can call the Second Wife back and ask her in detail." Xu Yingying gave a solution.

Li Siqi nodded, and without further ado, he quickly asked the first wife to call the second wife back.

The second wife was also a little confused as to why Li Siqi had been looking for him lately, but he didn't ask.

Li Siqi looked at him and was still puzzled. The Second Wife was meticulous and smart. Li Siqi asked himself if he had ever treated the Second Wife badly, but the Second Wife still betrayed him.

Xu Yingying stood next to Li Siqi, looking at the second wife without blinking.

"Second Madam, I'll give you one last chance. Do you really not want to say anything?" Li Siqi did not ask about Zhang Xiaohan. She wanted the Second Madam to admit it on her own initiative.

But the second wife disappointed Li Siqi. "My lord, I have nothing to say."

"Okay, okay, okay, you are so nice. Do you really think that I don't know what you are thinking?" Li Siqi laughed in anger.

"I don't know what the master is talking about." The second wife remained neither humble nor arrogant. To put it bluntly, she was just a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

"You deceived your superiors and subordinates, allowed the murderer to go unpunished, and even personally participated in the murder in the city. Do you really think that I can't find out?" Li Siqi didn't want to listen to Er Tai's earnest advice, so he exposed everything directly.
