After the portrait was taken away.
Ji Yunshu said, "Lord Li, now that we have the portrait, we can only continue the investigation after we confirm the identity of the deceased."
Li Cheng replied, "Then I'll have to trouble Young Master Ji with the subsequent matters."
He smiled and leaned on Ji Yunshu's shoulder.
He looked like a jackal!
He was lecherous.
The two of them behaved like this, making the bystanders feel extremely uncomfortable.
Ji Yunshu's mouth twitched.
He silently took a few steps to the side.
Li Cheng approached her again.
Before he could get close —
Jing Rong, who had been sitting and sipping his tea, suddenly stood up. He pulled Ji Yunshu's hand behind his back.
He protected it firmly.
He stared coldly at the wolf with a pair of icy eyes.
Li Cheng's body trembled, and he almost fell into his arms.
Fortunately, he stopped the conversation in time.
"You …"
He hadn't noticed Jing Rong's presence at all.
Jing Rong's eyes were stern, as if he was declaring his sovereignty.
Li Cheng gulped and took two steps back.
He didn't know why, but he was inexplicably afraid of Jing Rong.
She feared him from the bottom of her heart.
After that, he could only awkwardly say to the officials, "That … All of you can leave first. Once there is news of the deceased's identity, immediately report to me."
"Yes!"
The officials looked at each other.
They left one by one.
Only the three of them were left.
Once the room was empty, Li Cheng smiled and said to Jing Rong, "Young Master Jing, you don't have to be so guarded against me, right? I'm not going to eat people. "
"If Crown Prince Cheng hadn't done something he shouldn't have, why would I need to guard against you?"
"Look at what you're saying. This Crown Prince treats you with sincerity. Why would I do something that I shouldn't? On the other hand, all of you are the ones guarding against me. "
This baby is angry.
Li Cheng walked towards the chair Jing Rong was sitting on.
He grabbed the dessert on the top and ate it.
Jing Rong sneered.
He was speechless.
Ji Yunshu said, "Crown Prince Cheng, since there's nothing else, we'll be leaving first. Just let me know when the identity of the deceased is revealed."
He was ready to leave.
Sounds like she's leaving.
Li Cheng hurriedly threw away the fruits in his hand.
He stopped them. "Wait."
He stood in front of them.
"Aren't you looking for someone? I've promised that as long as you help me solve this case, I'll help you find the person. Now that the portrait is out, the truth is not far away. So, shouldn't you tell me … who are you looking for? I'll go make the arrangements now. "
Ji Yunshu glanced at Jing Rong.
Wait for him to speak.
He asked Li Cheng, "Are you sure you can find it?"
"As long as they are from Huyi, dead or alive, I will find them for you even if I have to turn the entire Huyi upside down.
He patted his chest.
He was very sure.
But —
According to Li Cheng's personality, if he wanted to find someone, wouldn't it be known by everyone?
Third Master had instructed him not to make this public.
Jing Rong said, "We don't want too many people to know about this, so if you want to help us find someone, you can't do it openly."
"Can't make a big fuss? Secretly investigating? "
"That's right! And … even if you want to investigate in secret, you can't let too many people know. At least, you can't let anyone know. "Jing Rong made his request clear.
"You can rest assured. I'm absolutely reliable." Li Cheng asked, "What's the person's name?"
Jing Rong gave him a heads-up. "You have to promise that this won't spread."
"I promise."
Jing Rong thought for a moment, then said, "Cha He!"
"Where is he from in Huyi?"
"Gaoding."
"Gaoding? That's not easy to investigate. Leave it to me. "
"Don't brag too early. We've already looked for this person in Gaoding. There's no such person, not even a person with this surname."
"Oh?" Li Cheng pondered. "Based on what you said, it should be very difficult to find this person."
"If it wasn't difficult, I wouldn't have accepted a hot potato like you."
Haha —
"That's true." Li Cheng laughed awkwardly again, then asked, "Is there nothing else besides his name? For example, how tall, how old, or … what characteristics does he have? Or perhaps … "
Before he could finish, Jing Rong threw two words at him.
Jing Rong threw two words at him, "That's all."
Li Cheng swallowed his words in an instant.
He almost choked on his own saliva.
"There's only a name and nothing else. If we want to find this person … I'm afraid it'll be difficult."
Difficult!
Jing Rong's expression changed drastically.
Li Cheng noticed his expression and hurriedly added, "It's going to be difficult! But it's not impossible. After all, people have to come up with ideas. "
Here comes a wicked idea.
Ji Yunshu asked hurriedly, "What do you have in mind?" "Isn't it simple?" Li Cheng walked around the room as he said, "The most important thing now isn't to find out if this person is in Gaoding. It's to know if this person exists. If he doesn't exist, it's useless no matter how you look. Or perhaps, you've gotten a fake name. If this person exists …
Then find out where his household register is and who else is in his family? As long as we know this, it'll be much easier. "
This kid is quite smart.
Jing Rong said, "If we want to check his household register … we have to go to the Ministry of Revenue."
"Then go to the Ministry of Revenue!"
"I said, we can't make a big fuss about this."
"I didn't say big fuss."
Eh?
Li Cheng rubbed his chin, "We … will go to the Ministry of Revenue ourselves."
When he said this …
Jing Rong already knew what he meant.
"So you want to bring us to the Ministry of Revenue?"
"Is it difficult? It's just bringing a few people to the Ministry of Revenue. When the time comes, you can disguise yourselves and follow me. No one will dare to stop you. We can openly go to the Ministry of Revenue to investigate. "
His face was full of arrogance.
Jing Rong looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot.
He reminded him, "Heir Cheng, you probably don't know the rules of the Ministry of Revenue."
"What do you mean?"
"Everyone's household register information will be stored in one place in the Ministry of Revenue. The outside will be heavily guarded. Only officials from the Ministry of Revenue can enter. Anyone who enters must have a written order. Otherwise, they will be punished for committing a crime."
Li Cheng was a naive fool when it came to the bureaucratic system.
However, Jing Rong had been in power for many years and knew the rules of these departments very well.
It was the same for Huyi.
Li Cheng frowned, "There's such a thing?"
Astonishment!
"That's why it's impossible."
If it was possible, Jing Rong would have barged in with Bai Yin on the first day.
Li Cheng sat back on the chair again.
He pondered.
He had to do what he promised.
He couldn't go back on his word!
After thinking for a while …
A person suddenly appeared in his mind.
