"I want the entire inn surrounded, no one is allowed in and out without my permission! Escort everyone to their rooms and keep an eye on them.
"Xiao Yao's murderer hasn't been caught yet and it could be any one of the people in the inn. Until the murderer is caught everyone will be questioned!"
Nie Zihan glanced at Nie Shaoqing as he said the last statement. Nie Zihan saw no need to be civil since the Duke was not present.
Nie Shaoqing paused and glanced at the other man. His eyes twitched at the other man's smug expression.
Nie Zihan was satisfied with his younger brother's reaction. He tipped his lips up and looked Nie Shaoqing straight in the eyes.
He was glad to knock Nie Shaoqing down a peg. He always found Nie Shaoqing's confidence irritating.
Nie Shaoqing resisted the urge to smile, he was amused by the younger man's actions and was curious about how far his 'brother' would go.
