Yiwu.
By the time Ji Yunshu, Jing Rong, and Li Cheng returned to town from Zhao Zhuanger's grave, the sky was already bright.
Early in the morning, the early winter streets were covered in mist, and the air was cold and bone-piercing.
Because Yiwu was the town with the most merchants, even though the sky was not completely bright, there were already many carriages going in and out.
The roadside vendors also set up their stalls one after another.
"Fragrant and hot beef noodles!" The peddler shouted at the top of his lungs.
The three of them had been busy for the whole night and had been walking in and out of the city for so long that they were already tired.
He sat down at the beef noodle stall.
"I'm exhausted." Li Cheng sat down on the bench and waved at the owner of the noodle stall. "Hurry up and get us something to eat. Add more meat."
"Alright."
The three of them sat around a table.
Li Cheng looked exhausted, but Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong were still very energetic.
The boss came forward. "Dear customers, please enjoy your meal."
Li Cheng was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back. He wolfed down the food and ate very deliciously.
Ji Yunshu also began to eat.
Jing Rong watched quietly.
No appetite!
Instead, he put the beef in his bowl into Ji Yunshu's.
They looked very familiar!
Coincidentally, this scene was witnessed by Li Cheng.
He curiously looked at them again and again. Although he already knew that Ji Yunshu was actually a woman, he still couldn't figure out what their relationship was. Moreover, why did Young Master Ji disguise herself as a man when she was clearly a woman?
The confusion in his heart grew, and he could not help but ask, "What … is your relationship?"
Jing Rong raised his eyebrows and looked at him coldly. "Are you curious?"
He nodded vigorously!
He was indeed very curious.
Jing Rong replied coldly, "Knowing too much about some things isn't good for you." "The more you say it, the more curious this Heir is!" Li Cheng's interest was immediately hooked like a glutton. He squinted his eyes and guessed, "You don't look alike, so you shouldn't be brothers! He did not behave like a master and servant, nor did he behave like a debt slave, and he did not behave like a close friend. But apart from that,
Other than that, there's only … "
Li Cheng's lips curled into a wretched smile.
Hehe!
Jing Rong's eyes turned cold. "Crown Prince Cheng, please stop guessing."
He would not. Rubbing his chin, he continued to speculate, "Let's not talk about your relationship first. You said you came to Huyi to do silk business, but I don't see any goods with you. Instead, you have a carriage, a few fierce horses, and a few fierce-looking attendants. How can you be a merchant?
From the way I see it, you must be using the guise of doing business to hide something. You just don't want others to know your identity. Could it be that … you're all great thieves? Or bandits? "
Jing Rong: "…"
Ji Yunshu completely ignored him and continued to eat her noodles.
Li Cheng continued to pluck the fur on the tiger's head. "Did you guys really do something shameful? Was it because he had killed someone? Is that why you disguised yourself as a merchant and fled to Huyi to seek refuge? "
It was getting more and more ridiculous.
What the hell?
Jing Rong's expression gradually darkened. He looked at Li Cheng's bewildered face and a cold glint appeared in his eyes. "Yes, we did kill someone. Our hands are stained with more than one life. In fact, many people have died because of us. "
He was extremely serious!
Ah!
At that moment, Ji Yunshu stopped eating.
She looked at Jing Rong and knew what he meant.
Li Cheng felt a chill down his spine. "Are you joking with me?"
"Do I look like I'm joking with you?" Jing Rong retorted, staring at him coldly.
Li Cheng's palms tightened. He swallowed his saliva and smiled awkwardly. "Forget it. You guys don't look like cruel people."
After saying that, he buried his head in his noodles.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have asked!
Jing Rong didn't lie. He was indeed a 'murderer'.
In the past few years, his hands were stained with a lot of blood and lives.
His close friends died because of him!
Li Cheng would never understand that kind of feeling.
Ji Yunshu broke the silence. "Let's go."
Jing Rong nodded and got up.
"Where are you guys going?" Li Cheng immediately lifted his butt and followed.
Ji Yunshu replied, "Back to the inn."
"You're not investigating the case anymore? Didn't you say that Lord Zhuo gave you two days? Moreover, since you already know who the murderer is, you should quickly arrest him. As for whether you have evidence or not, it's the same when the time comes. What if he escapes? Wouldn't it be like looking for a needle in a haystack? "
"Don't worry, Crown Prince Cheng. The murderer won't escape."
Huh?
"What do you mean?"
Ji Yunshu didn't explain too clearly.
On the way back to the inn, Ji Yunshu whispered something to Jing Rong.
Jing Rong frowned slightly. A trace of surprise flashed across his face.
But he immediately nodded in agreement.
When they arrived at the inn.
Bai Yin didn't sleep all night. She sat on the first floor waiting for them.
When she saw them, she immediately got up to greet them.
"What took you so long?" He asked worriedly.
Ji Yunshu replied, "We're fine. We just went to investigate something."
"Is it done?"
Ji Yunshu was silent for a moment. She didn't answer him and only said, "I'm going upstairs to rest."
Then, she went upstairs.
"Wait …" Li Cheng wanted to follow but was immediately stopped by Jing Rong.
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as Ji Yunshu went upstairs.
Li Cheng immediately pushed Jing Rong away. "Why are you stopping me?"
"She said she's going to rest. Didn't you hear her?"
"I heard her. But why aren't you worried at all?"
"There's no use in worrying!" Jing Rong sat in front of the table and drank the wine that Bai Yin had ordered.
Li Cheng was helpless. He waved his sleeve. "Forget it. If you're not worried, this Crown Prince can't be bothered. I'm going back to my room to sleep."
He went upstairs.
Bai Yin sat opposite Jing Rong. "What's going on?"
Jing Rong frowned and said to him, "Help me with something."
"What is it?"
Jing Rong whispered a few words into his ear. Bai Yin immediately left.
What was it that she was going to do?
…
Li Cheng went upstairs. As soon as he opened the door to his room, he saw Li Wenshu sitting inside.
She looked displeased.
"Sister."
Li Wenshu looked at him sternly. "You still know to come back?"
"I …"
"Where did you go? Don't you know how worried I was? If something happened to you, how am I going to explain it to Father? "
Li Cheng sat opposite Li Wenshu and said with a smile, "What can happen to me?"
"You're just messing around."
"Sister, it's not like you don't know that I'm investigating a case. I'm very busy." He drank some water.
