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

Chapter 106 Infamy

Lei Batian was too lazy to argue with Lian Yi, so he raised his fist and wanted to hit Lian Yi.

Lian Yi endured the pain and pulled out the sword, then stood up tremblingly, "Lei Batian, now that things have come to this, I won't pretend with you anymore. Do you really think I liked you before?"

Lian Yi looked at Lei Batian with hatred on her face, "Many years ago, you couldn't force me to have you, so you targeted my sister. She died because of you. I guess Master Lei doesn't remember it."

Lian Yi was finally too lazy to play along with Lei Batian, so she decided to break up and make things clear.

Lei Batian was also stunned. He didn't expect that Lian Yi had been lying to him from the very beginning.

After the falling out, Lei Batian became even more angry, but Lian Yi was no longer afraid of him. She had already prepared a way out for herself. Although she was seriously injured, she still picked up the sword in her hand and threw it towards Lei Batian.

In order to avoid the sword, Lei Batian had to dodge to the side, giving Lian Yi a chance to escape.

Lian Yi stumbled out of the Lei Mansion through the secret passage she found, while Lei Batian stood there in a daze. He really liked Lian Yi at first, but he didn't expect that reality would give him a heavy blow.

After leaving the Lei Mansion, Lian Yi, covering the wound on her abdomen, stumbled to Li Siqi's residence.

When the servant came to report, Li Siqi and Xu Yingying were both very surprised. Xu Yingying's wound had not healed yet, and Li Siqi originally wanted to let her rest in the room, but Xu Yingying insisted on staying with Li Siqi. Li Siqi couldn't persuade her, so he had to take her to the front hall.

When I saw Lian Yi, her face looked very ugly. She had lost too much blood and was shaky and could hardly stand.

"Your Highness, I gave you a piece of evidence before, but it was fake. However, the one I have in my hand now is the real evidence of Lei Qinyu's corruption and bribery." Lian Yi couldn't wait to say when she saw Li Siqi.

But the knife that Lian Yi used to stab Xu Yingying had already planted itself deeply in the hearts of both of them. Although they didn't know why Lian Yi had the nerve to come to them, Li Siqi and Xu Yingying were very wary of Lian Yi.

Lian Yi also knew that Xu Yingying and Li Siqi were wary of her. She smiled bitterly and said, "I know you don't believe me anymore, I just won't give up."

After saying that, Lian Yi no longer had the strength to support her standing, and she fell to the ground exhausted.

The wound on the abdomen was still bleeding, and Xu Yingying couldn't bear it anymore. She was not a cold-blooded person. What's more, Lian Yi now had no ability to hurt Xu Yingying anymore.

Xu Yingying took a few steps forward and approached Lian Yi, "Tell me, what is your relationship with Li Siming? You should also know that he abandoned you."

Lian Yi smiled bitterly, "I already know that men are unreliable, but I still can't help wanting to get close to him and trust him. I don't know what Li Siming's true identity is, I just know that he is from the capital, and Lei Qinyu obeys his every word."

"Did he come to you first?" Xu Yingying guessed.

Lian Yi nodded, then shook her head, "Yes and no, he came to me first, hoping that I could help him. I wanted to refuse, but he was too gentle, completely different from Lei Batian, and I couldn't help but be moved by him... That's how I made a big mistake."

Lian Yi fell in love with Li Siming at first sight, but she didn't expect that the person she liked was just a cold-blooded and heartless guy.

Lian Yi's voice became smaller and smaller. Finally, she could not hold on any longer and fainted on the ground. Xu Yingying's face changed and she tried to feel her pulse, but it was too late. Lian Yi was dead.

Xu Yingying sighed in her heart. The dead are gone, and all the past events were wiped out. Even though Li Siqi wanted to throw Lian Yi out directly, Xu Yingying stopped him.

"Forget it, she's already so miserable, I'll just help her one last time." Xu Yingying said, enduring the pain and starting to pray for Lian Yi.

Watching Lian Yi's soul gradually becoming transparent, Xu Yingying murmured, "I hope you won't be like this in your next life."

After dealing with Lian Yi's funeral, Li Siqi was not in a hurry to report Lei Qinyu's crimes to the emperor, because Xu Yingying said that it would be too easy for him to die.

Xu Yingying wanted Lei Qinyu to pay a higher price before he died, so that he could also experience the evil he had done.

Xu Yingying and Li Siqi settled down in the county.

night.

After a busy day, Lei Qinyu returned to his study and sat at his desk.

As soon as he sat down, he found something wrong because he found that his book seemed to have been flipped through. Lei Qinyu opened the drawer of the desk.

Sure enough, the account book he had hidden away disappeared.

Seeing this, Lei Qinyu became completely panicked, because the account book not only contained some evidence of his corruption, but also some of the stolen money he had received.

No, we have to get the account book back!

Lei Qinyu said firmly in his heart.

So he called the servants and asked, "Did you see anyone enter my room today?"

The servants looked at each other and shook their heads.

"No, sir."

Since Lei Qinyu usually didn't allow his servants to get close to his study, they naturally had no chance.

Lei Qinyu couldn't get any results from his questions, so he waved his hand and asked everyone to leave. He also knew the people in his house and naturally they didn't have the courage to do that.

At the same time, the news that Lei Batian killed Lian Yi spread throughout the county.

At the morning market, breakfast shop.

A group of people were whispering something.

"Do you know? Lei Batian, the son of Mr. Lei, killed Lian Yi, the former courtesan of Yihong Courtyard."

"Ah? There is such a thing. Didn't Young Master Lei spend a fortune on her at that time?"

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that he would kill someone in the blink of an eye. Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a ruthless man."

……

Not only that, the fact that Lei Batian killed Lian Yi was also known by those guests who had been pursuing Lian Yi.

They were all unhappy and immediately gathered at the gate of Lei Mansion to cause trouble.

"Come out, murderer, and compensate me, Lian Yi."

"Kill someone and you will pay with your life. Don't be a coward."

"Lei Batian, get out here, one life for another."

……

Everyone protested fiercely in front of Lei Mansion.

Of course, these patrons were so angry because of Xu Yingying’s role in fanning the flames behind the scenes.

But soon, the guests who had been making such a big fuss at the gate of Lei Mansion disappeared without a trace.

Xu Yingying was very shocked. She saw them standing at the gate of Lei Mansion two days ago, indignantly demanding justice for Lian Yi, but they had not been seen in the past two days.

Xu Yingying was curious and asked someone to investigate the matter, but the result shocked her.

Because Lei Qinyu bribed these people with money and asked them to stop making trouble.

After all, Lei Qinyu has been in the officialdom for so many years and has met all kinds of people. Naturally, he understands that these people cannot possibly love Lianyi sincerely. They all appear to be righteous and want to seek justice for Lianyi, but in fact, they all have their own purposes.

They were moved by just a little bit of benefit, and their so-called good intentions for Lian Yi were quickly shaken.
