The Duke’s wife is beautiful but has a dark heart

Chapter 318 Big Surprise
Qi Hou listened steadily and calmly.

Mrs. Tan looked at Qi Yue first and felt a little relieved when she saw that there was no trace of panic on his face. Turning around to look at Mrs. Liu... No! Why is she nervous?

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

Did Qi Yue really do something in that yard?
"Master Zhang, I have already said that I have not rented that yard, nor have I been there. If you ask, you must have evidence." Qi Yue ignored it and took a sip from the wine glass on the table.

"Do you have a guard named Zhang Yuan?"

At this time, Qi Hou frowned.

"Have."

"He signed the rental contract. Can he come to answer the question?"

Qi Yue smiled brightly: "Why not? Grandpa, look..."

Mr. Tan sneered: "Master Zhang, Qi Yue has already said that he did not rent the yard. He is not the signatory of the contract. Whoever signed it is the one you go to. When he came up, he never left Qi Yue. He just wanted to Is he involved? In that case, why ask? Just convict him!"

Zhang Jiangqing said respectfully: "Madam, today Zhang came to the Qi family for questioning instead of directly summoning your third son to the Yamen. This is also a sign of respect for the Qi family. I hope you understand."

When Tan heard this, he stopped talking.

Qi Hou's eyes were burning, but he still said nothing.

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

After a while, Zhang Yuan came in.

Qi Yue looked at him with a hint of coldness.

Tan said: "Zhang Huwei, your ancestors have always followed the Qi family. You were placed by Qi Yue's side personally by the Marquis. You must be cautious and abiding by the rules. If Mr. Zhang has anything to ask, please answer carefully." The Marquis is here...don’t be afraid.”

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

What's the matter? Who is messing with the Qi family?
Why start with Qi Yue? He has no great power, and he doesn't hinder anyone...

Zhang Jiangqing has already started to ask: "Zhang Yuan, did you rent the house in Huojia Hutong?"

Mrs. Tan, Mrs. Liu and Qi Yue all looked at Zhang Yuan intently. Zhang Yuan nodded: "I found the middleman to look at the house, rent it, and clean it. But someone else asked me to rent it."

"who is it?"

Everyone looked at him.

"Feng Jian. He is also the third master's guard."

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

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

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Tan said loudly: "If your third master wanted to rent a house, wouldn't he tell you directly? Why did you go around and let Feng Jian tell you?!"

"In reply to Madam, my subordinates didn't know these things. Feng Jian made some requests, so I went out to find the middleman. I looked at a few places and told Feng Jian. After a few days, Feng Jian pointed out My subordinate rented this place, arranged for someone to clean it, and handed the key to Feng Jian."

"Master Marquis, call Feng Jian!" Tan said.

After a while, Feng Jian also came. As a result, when he came up, he pushed him away: "Master Marquis, my lord, I don't understand what Zhang Yuan said. I didn't ask him to rent it, and I never went there. I stayed with him all day long." I haven’t seen Third Master come to my side.”

Mrs. Tan looked at everyone with a sneer: "What else is there to say? Lord Marquis, someone is colluding to harm Yue'er!" She glanced at Mrs. Qi, her son and Wen Yu fiercely.

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 we handle this matter next?"

"The interview just now has been recorded. Just sign and stamp it. I'm afraid, Guard Zhang will be taken away."

Marquis Qi was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Zhang Yuan's grandfather died to save this Marquis. I also watched Zhang Yuan grow up...it doesn't seem like he did something inappropriate.

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

Zhang Yuan's eyes were slightly moist.

Qi Yue snorted in her heart and lowered her eyes.

Zhang Jiangqing nodded, "Since the Marquis said so, then so be it. Zhang Wewei, you mean... you have never been to this yard again since you handed over the key."

Zhang Yuan nodded: "I stay at the house during the day and go back to accompany my father at night. Occasionally, there are people accompanying me when I go out. So, I have never been to that place."

Zhang Jiangqing said, "I'll check again when I go back, or wait until the woman wakes up... Mr. Hou, excuse me!" After that, he walked away.

Although there was no result, Wen Yu also understood that this kind of thing would not happen overnight. Take your time!
But a birthday party was finally disrupted.

The Marquis was in a heavy heart and sat in the main seat for a while, "Zhang Yuan, come to the front. You..." He looked at the crowd, "Do whatever you want!" After the Marquis left, Mrs. Tan looked at Qi coldly. The three ladies, "Let's all go back to our rooms! Yue'er, come here."

Mrs. Tan hurriedly returned to her yard, Qi Yue following behind.

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

"Someone is harming me." Qi Yue remained calm.

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

"Yes."

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

"Because the woman before was dead. Therefore, the woman Zhang Jiangqing said he found alive there was simply a frame-up." When he talked about this matter, he was calm and did not take it seriously at all.

The Tan family ignored this matter: "Then it's the Cui family... OK, they are going to take the initiative."

"Grandma, you mean, Duanmu is also with them?" Qi Yue felt very happy talking to her grandmother for the first time.

"The details haven't been clarified yet. But there is one thing. There was a master in Wen Yu's shop who encountered a robbery and murderer. He was saved by that bastard Duanmu. Now, he is still living in his house! Although a few things seem to have no cause and effect. , but how could it be such a coincidence?”

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

"Grandma won't let them go, but that's another story! Do you have any clues on Zhang Yuan?"

Qi Yue stopped talking...

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

Qi Yue shook his head: "He doesn't know how, and he doesn't dare! He is the guard given to me by my grandfather. In this life, I am the only master. If he is a seller, no matter what the reason, my grandfather will not let him go. Besides, I would have I told him...if he dares to betray me, his father and brother’s lives will be lost!”

"Yes. That's the truth." Mrs. Tan nodded, "Then you should have thought of something earlier..."

"I don't want him for a long time, it's just hard to get rid of him."

"Stupid! If a guard can't be sent away, how can he kill him?"

"Don't worry, my grandfather will definitely do it for me this time. I'll end up committing suicide out of fear of crime."

Mrs. Tan listened and nodded. Based on her understanding of the Marquis, killing Zhang Yuan was the best way for both public and private purposes.

"Your father's important matter is still undecided. Even if you pretend, you have to pretend for me. Did you see your grandfather's face just now? Do you think that if something really happened, he can protect you like your grandmother? Humph, and, If it's because of you that your father's affairs are messed up, your father won't be able to spare you!"

Although Qi Yue was still not convinced, he did not dare to say anything.

Mrs. Tan frowned, thinking...

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

……

Zhang Yuan and Qi Hou came to the front and knelt down: "Master Hou, I am ashamed."

"What do you want to tell me?" Qihou looked at him.

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "My subordinate is stupid and incompetent, and the third master has trouble handling him. Every time he does something, he will make the third master angry. But because you arranged this subordinate by his side, if you want to deal with him, you must also take your face into consideration." . So, the third master is also in trouble."

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

"Master Marquis, my subordinates only listened to Feng Jian's report and did not actually hear what the third master said. They also did not see the third master go there with their own eyes. Therefore, my subordinates don't know anything about it."

Qi Hou 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 Fifth Master can save himself... Mu Ling...

At this time, he could still think of Mu Ling, and his face turned red. He said sincerely: "Master Marquis, 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 handle this matter. But it has always been on the minds of our father and son. I want to resign. , Go and move the remains of my grandfather back to the family grave. Then, I just want to take care of my father for a hundred years. I have no ambitions and no ability... Mr. Hou..." He touched his head to the ground, "I hope Mr. Hou will make it happen.

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

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "This subordinate is incompetent and I cannot trust the Marquis."

Wen Yu and Qi Wu arranged for Laba to keep an eye on them, and if something unexpected happened, they asked her to snatch the person out first.

"I don't know what grandpa will do." Wen Yu kicked Qi Wu with his little foot, and Qi Wu just stared at it, one after another...

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

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