Song Zhi could not refuse Zhang Xiaobai's kindness.
In the end, he accepted the key.
"Thank you, Young Master Zhang!"
"There's no need for thanks between us."
"I will remember this kindness in my heart."
He cupped his hands.
As a token of gratitude!
Zhang Xiaobai watched him leave with tears in his eyes. He was reluctant to let him go.
From afar, he shouted at Song Zhi, "Brother Song, take care!"
Song Zhi did not leave the city immediately. Instead, he went to the inn where Ji Yunshu and the others were staying.
But —
Ji Yunshu and the others were not there.
After asking the waiter, he found out that they had left at noon!
Not a sound!
Song Zhi asked, "Did they say where they were going?"
"No."
"Which direction did they go?"
"I don't know." The waiter shook his head.
Because he was busy with business, the waiter did not continue to 'chat' with him. He squatted on the plate and went to the second floor.
Song Zhi felt regretful that he could not say goodbye to them before going their separate ways. He did not know when they would meet again.
He sighed.
But it was getting late. He had to leave the city quickly.
He used the money given to him by Class Leader Tao to hire a carriage.
He did not hire a coachman and drove himself!
He left Yiwu!
This was the place where he had stayed for so many years.
…
But he did not know that the night after he left, the Zhao class performed the new play he had written.
At first, no one came to watch it.
After all, the White Bones Case had caused everyone to be on edge.
It was inevitable that they would have a lingering fear!
But later on, some daring people bought tickets and went to see it. They were fascinated by it and spread the news.
So, the play became popular!
It was even more popular than 'Ghost Lady Burying Husband'!
It made the Zhao class rise from the ashes.
There was no need to disband!
It was said that the play was called 'The Plum Blossom Story'.
The content was still about ghosts and monsters!
It was also very sad.
But as Song Zhi said, it was indeed better than 'Ghost Lady Burying Husband'.
The people of Yiwu soon forgot their previous panic and were completely immersed in the new play.
At the same time, the bone case that had lasted for several days was finally closed.
Lord Zhuo had reported it to the court and ordered that Gao Dali would be beheaded at the entrance of the market three days later.
That Young Master Ji who could paint bones became famous.
Everyone said that she was a genius!
They wanted to befriend her!
Unfortunately, he was no longer in Yiwu.
Therefore, many people began to guess who "she" was.
In a certain teahouse.
A group of old acquaintances gathered together to eat melon seeds.
One of the men in blue squinted his eyes and clicked his tongue twice. He leaned forward and almost laid his head on the table.
He said mysteriously, "It's said that the person who helped Lord Zhuo solve this murder case is a person from the Great Lin. That person can draw a portrait from the bones, and it's even better than a pile of bones when they were alive!"
"Yeah! I also know that there are a few other people traveling with her. They came here to do business together. "
Just as he finished speaking —
"No, no!" A pointy-headed young man immediately retorted. "They're not here to trade."
"You've seen them?"
The pointy-headed lad said resolutely and decisively, "That day, I saw with my own eyes when Lord Zhuo sent people to capture them. Each and every one of them looked full of heroic spirit, each and every one of them had a strong physique. One look and I could tell that they were trained in martial arts! If they were merchants, why didn't they bring any goods with them? It's obvious he has another identity. "
That was a good analysis!
Suddenly, a voice came from not far away.
"Those people, I seem to … know them."
Huh?
Thus, when everyone heard the voice, they all turned their gazes in that direction.
They saw a man with a face full of stubble sitting there with an uncertain expression on his face.
Someone asked anxiously, "Do you know them or not? What do you mean by seem to know them? "
The man pondered, "I've been to the Great Lin's capital before, and I've heard that there's a capable person who can draw portraits from the bones."
"Oh? Is it this person? "
"I'm not sure." The man straightened his posture and solemnly said to the crowd, "I've heard about that person in the Great Lin. She holds a position in the Ministry of Justice and is a high-ranking official! Almost everyone in the capital knows of her. She's a famous person. "
Whoosh!
The crowd was shocked. The man continued, "There's not a single murder or unsolved case that she can't solve. It's said that she also solved a case in the Great Lin's imperial family decades ago. She even caused quite a stir in the Great Lin's imperial court. Just from what I've heard, it would take three days and three nights.
I can't even finish talking. "
"Then tell us!"
"Yeah, tell us."
The man recounted everything.
Moreover, the things he said about Ji Yunshu were just a drop in the ocean.
Most of it was about Ji Yunshu solving cases!
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
The man said, "More importantly, she's a woman. She's the first female official in the history of the Great Lin!"
After someone heard this, he immediately refuted him and said, "That's not right! The powerful person you're talking about is a woman, and we're talking about a man. That's not right, that's not right. "
He waved his hand.
The crowd also felt that it wasn't right.
Although the man also had his doubts —
He said, "But I heard that before that woman became a prison supervisor, she disguised herself as a man to enter the imperial court. Perhaps the person who solved this White Bone Case was her."
"But if she's a high-ranking official, why would she come here?"
"This … I don't know. I went to the Great Lin last year. It's been so long, I … I don't know."
It was all in vain!
There was no direct evidence to prove that the young master was the famous Great Lin's Great Lin's Enforcer.
Everyone felt bored and started to talk again.
No one noticed that in a corner of the teahouse, there were four men sitting around a table.
Their expressions were solemn, and their eyebrows were cold.
Their faces were fierce.
They had all heard what those people had said.
One of them said in a low voice, "The heir and the young miss have already left for Gaoding. You guys go back and report to the Marquis."
"What about you?"
"The Marquis ordered us to investigate those people's background. You guys go first, I'll catch up later."
"Okay."
… …
The cold wind rustled along the mountain path.
The wheels of the carriage rumbled.
The sound echoed throughout the valley.
After a long time, they finally reached the main road.
The road also became a little smoother.
Jing Rong and the others had been traveling for a whole day since they left Yiwu.
Bai Yin rode in front, looking as graceful as ever.
He rode against the wind, looking majestic and unaffected by the exhaustion of the journey.
Instead, he was full of energy.
Meanwhile, inside the carriage.
Ji Yunshu rested on Jing Rong's lap with her eyes closed.
Her delicate face was slightly flushed as she slept soundly.
Her long eyelashes fluttered in the wind, fluttering against her eyelids.
So beautiful!
Jing Rong sat quietly. His eyes were filled with love as he looked at the woman lying on his lap. He stroked her silky hair with his hand.
