Seeing Official Zhuo's pale face, Li Cheng couldn't bear to continue scaring him.
He waved his hand and said, "That's enough. Now that the culprit has been caught, why don't you hurry back to the yamen to deal with it? Do you want me to report this case as well?"
"Have mercy, have mercy! This official will go now. "
Lord Zhuo turned around and bowed to Ji Yunshu, then led his people away from the theater.
In fact, Li Cheng was just trying to scare him. He did not have the ability to sue an official.
Moreover, he wasn't a bureaucrat.
Even if he told this to his father, Marquis Pingyang, he would be so busy with the affairs of the imperial court that he wouldn't have the time to manage the local officials!
Therefore, his words just now were a wake-up call for Lord Zhuo.
Then, Li Cheng walked in front of Ji Yunshu and gave her a thumbs up. "Little Gongzi, I didn't expect you to find so many clues in just two short days. I was completely kept in the dark by you. This Heir admires you! Impressive! "
He clasped his hands together.
Ji Yunshu immediately returned his greeting, "You flatter me."
"Of course, of course!"
Speechless!
Just then —
Someone shouted, "Leader."
Looking over, they saw Class Leader Tao's body leaning over, and he was being supported by someone.
He had already suffered a huge blow from this matter!
Everyone helped him to sit down, and it took him a while to recover.
He then let out a long sigh and said, "What a sin! Which deity did my Zhao Jiaban offend? He had actually fallen to such a state today. Some are dead, some are sick, and some are in jail. The murderer is still a member of my Zhao Family! Sigh … "
The performance of "Ghost Lady Burying Husband" had pushed Zhao Jiaban to the top!
It was also because of Ghost Lady Burying Husband that the Zhao Family Troupe fell to the bottom of the valley!
It was the one who succeeded!
It was also the loser!
…
When Ji Yunshu and the others left the Zhao family's class, it was already past midnight.
Bai Yin and Song Zhi each carried a lantern and walked to the front.
Li Cheng and Li Wenshu walked in the middle.
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong walked at the back.
The streets were bustling with activity, and there were even some pedestrians.
There were also a few shops and inns in the vicinity that were open.
The lanterns extended forward one by one …
Along the way, the cold wind blew gently.
Everyone couldn't help but tighten their clothes.
Jing Rong looked at the emaciated woman beside him and silently held her ice-cold hand.
His heart ached.
When Ji Yunshu's hand was wrapped in his warm palm, she didn't move away and let him hold it.
Suddenly —
Li Cheng turned around.
Ji Yunshu immediately withdrew her hand.
After all, it would be inappropriate for two men to hold hands.
What was this?
Jing Rong looked at Ji Yunshu's blushing cheeks and couldn't help but laugh.
He was extremely handsome.
Fortunately, Li Cheng did not notice.
"Little Gongzi, I'll be returning to Gaoding tomorrow. When I return to the inn, let's have a good drink. What do you think?"
"I don't drink!"
"What kind of man doesn't drink?" Li Cheng walked towards her. "Today's case is solved. It's a good thing. We should celebrate."
"I don't drink!"
Ji Yunshu emphasized again.
"Don't be such a killjoy!"
"I'm not trying to dampen the mood. I just hope that Crown Prince Cheng will not make things difficult for me."
"Why would I make things difficult for you?" Li Cheng raised his hand and was about to put it on her shoulder.
However —
Before he could touch Ji Yunshu's shoulder, Jing Rong's cold gaze swept over him.
His gaze met Li Cheng's smiling peach blossom eyes.
Suddenly, Li Cheng's hand stopped abruptly.
He let go of it like a good-for-nothing.
He always felt that Jing Rong had an oppressive aura. That kind of aura wasn't something an ordinary person could have.
To put it bluntly, he was a little afraid!
Therefore, he had always been puzzled about Jing Rong's identity.
He was full of curiosity.
He hurriedly looked away and pursed his lips. He smiled awkwardly. "If you don't want to drink, then don't drink! There's still a long way to go. We'll definitely meet again in the future. "
Ji Yunshu smiled.
No words!
On the way, Li Cheng talked a lot.
It was probably because of the impending separation that he couldn't help but feel reluctant.
As for Li Wenshu, who was walking in front, because she was walking behind Bai Yin, her gaze boldly fell on Bai Yin's sturdy back.
She couldn't forget Bai Yin's gaze.
It couldn't be erased!
It was deeply imprinted in her mind.
His rationality was also telling him over and over again not to fall too deeply into it.
That person was someone he didn't know!
…
After saying goodbye to everyone, Song Zhi carried the lantern back home.
Everyone returned to the inn.
They all returned to their rooms.
Li Cheng still wanted to say something to Ji Yunshu, but Jing Rong was there, so he had no choice but to give up.
She returned to her room and packed her luggage.
But something fell out of his clothes.
With a "dong" sound, he smashed into the ground!
Picking it up, he realized that it was a small jade token.
Very exquisite!
The word "Nan" was carved on it.
She remembered that when she was on the way from Jinjiang to the capital, she had helped the wife of a Huyi merchant to cut open her abdomen and retrieve her child.
After such a long time, she had almost forgotten that she still had this jade token.
"Nan?" she whispered.
What did he mean by 'don't know'?
Knock, knock, knock … Someone knocked on the door.
She stuffed the small jade tablet into her sleeve and turned to open the door.
Jing Rong stood outside the door.
He said, "I have already ordered them to leave at noon tomorrow."
Ji Yunshu was puzzled. "Aren't they leaving early in the morning?"
Jing Rong glanced at Li Cheng's room and said, "They will leave early tomorrow morning."
In other words, he didn't want to meet them!
He didn't want to have too many interactions!
Ji Yunshu understood. "Then, you should rest early."
Jing Rong didn't leave!
He suddenly grabbed the door frame with both hands and leaned in.
He moved in front of Ji Yunshu.
The distance between the two was very close.
"What's wrong?" Ji Yunshu pursed her lips and looked at the handsome man in front of her with deep eyes.
Jing Rong looked at her delicate face. The corners of his lips curled up. "That Li Cheng isn't stupid. He knows you're a woman."
"I know."
"So …"
Ji Yunshu slightly raised her chin and snatched the topic away from him. She resolutely said, "So with you here, I'm not worried."
Obviously, Jing Rong was very happy with her words.
In an instant, the jar of jealousy in his heart was covered.
His lips gradually curved into a smile. "I like it when you say that."
The two gazed at each other.
Then, Jing Rong's whole body moved closer to Ji Yunshu.
He made an action of kissing her.
Ji Yunshu didn't avoid it and instinctively closed her eyes.
Her hands gently squeezed together under her sleeves.
In a moment … their lips were about to touch.
But …
Jing Rong stopped.
Ji Yunshu waited for a long time for him to 'invade' her, but she could feel the heavy breath from the tip of his nose to her lips.
When she slowly opened her eyes, she stared at Jing Rong's gentle and smiling eyes.
As it turned out … she was played!
Just as anger rose in her heart, Jing Rong reached out and gently rubbed her head.
He liked this kind of Ji Yunshu!
He liked it when she threw a tantrum!
Without waiting for Ji Yunshu to speak, he moved his lips to her ear and gently said, "Rest well."
