Chapter 094 Cut the Grass at Its Roots

She saw the other party holding a piece of paper, but she didn't think about the confession. She thanked him first: "Thank you for saving Xiuxiu."

Dechun looked like he had a toothache, and it took him a long time to force a smile. He said in Cai Tianxi's usual tone: "Aunt, don't be polite. We are all under the same roof. I will help if I can."

But your expression doesn't look like you are willing.

Xie Yun looked at him, and what he thought in his heart was revealed on his face.

Dechun scratched his head awkwardly, opened his mouth several times as if he wanted to say something to save himself, but in the end he closed it.

He still couldn't be like Cai Tianxi, smiling all the time.

Seeing that he tried so hard but still failed to hide his expression, Xie Yun felt a little embarrassed for him, so she simply changed the subject: "Where is the person who wronged and hurt Xiuxiu?"

When it came to the business, Dechun's expression became much more natural, but his face unconsciously fell. He was obviously an upright young man, but he had a bit of indifference that did not belong to this age.

"Aunt, don't worry about them. I have already finished the trial."

Xie Yun was stunned. Finished the trial? How long has it been?

Could it be that he was deceived?

She didn't want to doubt Dechun, but it was too fast. She had never heard of him doing anything alone before. It was really hard to be convinced by such a sudden statement.

Dechun seemed to have figured it out, and raised his hand to hand over a piece of paper: "This should be what aunt wants, why don't you take a look at it first."

Xie Yun raised her hand to take it, and was stunned after just one glance. It was a confession, with clear organization and logic. The motive and method of committing the crime were very clear. It was probably the truth.

It was not difficult to get such a confession, but Dechun only took half an hour.

Xie Yun couldn't help but be amazed, and looked over with admiration: "What a young talent, I am short-sighted."

Dechun scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly: "Aunt, don't say that, I have no choice. Godfather told me to go back for dinner. If I delay the time, I will be punished."

At this time, he became the little eunuch in Qianyuan Palace again.

Xie Yun's eyes unconsciously had a little more inquiry, but the most rare thing between people is the sense of distance. No matter what kind of person Dechun is, as long as he has no malice towards me, it has nothing to do with me.

She did not waste his time any longer, and thanked him again and said goodbye to him.

After the people left, she took another look at the confession, especially the part about Wan Dong. 

She had some friendship with Si Zhen of the Shangfu Bureau. When the Xie family was not yet in decline, she often received rewards from the palace, mostly jewelry, so she was naturally more familiar with Si Zhen who made these things.

The reason why she sent Xiu Xiu to the Shangfu Bureau was partly because Xiu Xiu had this talent and was willing to work hard, and it was better to make a living by her craft than to serve others; the other half was that she believed in Si Zhen's character, and he happened to reveal his intention to accept an apprentice.

However, the original candidates were not Xiu Xiu, but two maids. However, no one knew what happened. One of them committed suicide two years ago after having an affair with a guard, and the other died of illness a year ago.

It was not uncommon for people to die in the palace. When Xie Yun heard about it, she just thought it was a coincidence, but now after seeing Wan Dong's confession, she knew that the two maids that Si Zhen had taken a fancy to were murdered.

Xiuxiu suffered such a disaster this time because of Wan Dong's jealousy.

Originally, with Xie Yun's pressure, the other party did not dare to act rashly, but when the news that Changxin Palace was going to send someone to Yin Ji came out, she could not hold back.

It is not wrong for people to want to climb up, but using such crooked methods is too much.

Xie Yun clenched the confession, and murderous intent flashed in her eyes. Such a person must not be left. She was sure that as long as this Wan Dong was still alive, she would not let Xiuxiu go.

She could still protect the little girl in the past few years in the palace, but what about four years later?

Cut the grass or uproot it.

With this thought in mind, she returned to Qianyuan Palace. Just as she was about to go to see how Xiuxiu's injury was, she was stopped by Cai Tianxi.

"Miss Xie, I heard from Dechun that the theft of the gold beads has been investigated. What are you going to do?"

"Don't joke with me, eunuch. It's the master's business to deal with the palace servants. It doesn't matter what I, a servant, think."

Cai Tianxi still smiled: "That being said, we all know that Concubine Zhuang, who is in charge of public affairs now, has a kind temper and hates bloodshed and death. Maybe she will let it go... Poor little girl Xiuxiu, she has no heart at all."

Xie Yun was touched on the heart. Cai Tianxi is indeed too transparent. He can see everything clearly and hit the target with one strike.

"Please give me some advice, eunuch."

Cai Tianxi waved his hand: "What advice? I don't deserve it. Miss, you naturally have your own way to do what you want people to do. I just said something, but there is indeed a most direct way at the moment..."

He turned his head and glanced at the main hall, hinting that it couldn't be more obvious.

Is there anything in the world that is cleaner and more efficient than the emperor's direct decree?
