After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 331 Weighing the pros and cons
"Since he told you to look for it, then go look for it."

The head of the Xue family suppressed his anger, glanced at the steward, and said coldly, "Cooperating with the Jingzhao Prefecture in handling cases is the duty of the people of the capital. You and I should both do the same."

Sweat immediately streamed down the butler's forehead.

He had been in the Xue family for quite some time, so how could he not know that although the Xue family head seemed to be speaking amiably, he was probably already furious and wanted to have someone slowly tortured to death.

The steward had no doubt that once the people from the Jingzhao Prefecture left, he would definitely be in trouble.

Unfortunately, we still have to continue to work hard to clean up the mess.

We need to be extra careful.

If anything else goes wrong, his whole family will be in deep trouble.

Who knows, he might end up being pushed out to take the blame!
Whether those people were actually members of the Xue family or not, the Xue family head knew, and he, as an elder of the Xue family, also knew.

He was clearly a member of the Xue family, but the family head forbade him to acknowledge the relationship and wanted to distance himself from it. It couldn't be a good thing.

The butler took a deep breath and went to carry out the instructions.

Turning around, there was a sense of tragic grandeur, like a mournful wind howling.

Jiao Bubai was no longer in a hurry. He stayed at the Xue family's house and calmly let those people identify him one by one.

"...Look carefully and think it through before you speak. If you know someone, say you know them; if you don't, say you don't. If someone clearly knows someone but says they don't, that's perjury!"

Guo Tianzhuang emphasized loudly and solemnly, "Giving false testimony is punishable by caning! Those with serious offenses or egregious behavior are considered accomplices! In that case, it might not be as simple as just being caned!"

As Guo Tianzhuang's voice grew hoarse from shouting, the servants who had been called over to identify him began to feel somewhat guilty.

The more I listened, the more guilty I felt.

They didn't know all of these people, but they were familiar with some of them, especially those who served in Xue Wan's courtyard, whom they recognized completely.

But they absolutely could not say such a thing. Before they came, Butler Bao had repeatedly reminded them of this.

Anyone who speaks nonsense must die!
The servants who worked in the household, along with their brothers and sisters, all had to die.

After hearing such words, who would dare to talk nonsense?

Don't you die?

Moreover, the fact that the Jingzhao Prefecture suddenly came to the Xue family with such a large force to investigate the case is obviously not a good thing.

Nine times out of ten, these are the people who were sent out by one of the masters of the Xue family to do something shady.

However, they failed to handle the matter properly; they were dishonest, inefficient, and even foolish, brazenly and ostentatiously walking around the streets.

He went there dressed as a servant of the Zhou family.

As a result, he was caught red-handed, which led to the Jingzhao Prefecture coming to his door.

However, it seems that the people these people offended were not from any particularly powerful families.

They certainly wouldn't be more powerful or influential than the Xue family; otherwise, the other party would have already come knocking with knives. So what? They would have gone through the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Everyone has their own scale in their heart, weighing the pros and cons.

If these people are identified as members of the Xue family, it will not benefit them at all.

Let's not even talk about how the master will deal with them—whether he will beat them to death, wrap them in a mat and throw them out, or poison them and sell them.

The mere fact that the Xue family has fallen and they have been dismissed is enough to cause them serious trouble.

Servants who betray their master's household, servants from sinners' homes, are difficult to circulate in the servant market.
