Ji Yunshu raised her eyebrows and met Jing Rong's gaze.
The light from the lanterns shone from behind Jing Rong. Standing against the light, he was like a beam of sunlight, warm and clean.
Ji Yunshu stared at him.
She couldn't take her eyes off him.
Jing Rong raised his hand and gently brushed away the snow on her shoulder. "This place isn't far from where we live. Let's walk back."
Ji Yunshu finally understood what he meant.
It turned out that her thoughts were clearly seen through by him.
He knew that she liked snow.
Jing Rong held her hand. One tall, one short, they stood under the umbrella.
Facing the wind and snow, they slowly walked forward.
The imperial bodyguards followed behind them with the carriage.
They walked at a leisurely pace.
Ji Yunshu stepped on the comfortable white snow and looked at the falling snow around her. She couldn't help but stretch out her hand to catch a snowflake.
The snowflake stayed in her palm for a moment before melting.
It was ice-cold.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but smile.
Jing Rong glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. His eyes were filled with love.
He really wanted to hold her hand, stay by her side, and love her fiercely.
He couldn't help but tighten his grip on Ji Yunshu's hand.
The two of them walked for a while.
Jing Rong smirked and asked, "Don't you want to ask about Miss Zhao 'er today?"
Ji Yunshu looked at him and asked, "Is she that important?"
"Of course not!"
"Since she's not important, why should I ask?"
Jing Rong was rendered speechless by her words.
He couldn't help but laugh.
Then he said seriously, "The most important person in this world to me is by my side right now."
Ji Yunshu smiled. She raised her chin and looked at the falling snow. Her face beamed with happiness. "The most important person in this world is by my side."
The two of them looked at each other.
To love someone is to be by his/her side.
…
The next morning, before the sun rose, Li Cheng went to the Ministry of Justice.
The people in the Ministry of Justice already knew that Li Cheng had taken over the stone case.
After all, it was a murder case and the Ministry of Justice was involved.
As long as there was some progress in the case, the Ministry of Justice would have to file the case, and the two ministries would have to work together.
When the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice saw Li Cheng, he stepped forward and asked, "Prince Cheng, why are you here so early in the morning? “
Li Cheng was wearing an official's robe and looked majestic.
He didn't want to waste time.
He went straight to the point. "Everyone should know about the important case at the city gate, right? “
"The commotion is so big, presumably the people of the various departments already know. “
"Then I won't say anymore."
"I heard that Crown Prince Cheng found an expert to draw the portrait of the deceased. Based on the portrait, he already knew the identity of the deceased."
Li Cheng raised his eyebrows. "Of course!"
The official smiled and praised, "Crown Prince Cheng, you have completed your first case so quickly. You are indeed young and promising."
Hehe!
Li Cheng didn't fall for this flattery. He straightened his face and said, "Alright, I won't waste time with you. I'm here to get the file of Du Mubai's case from six years ago. Get someone to find it and give it to me."
The Great Master paused for a moment.
Du Mubai!
That was a case from six years ago.
At that time, it could be said that it caused a sensation in Gaoding City. And the person in charge of that case was the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
At that time, he still remembered that it was a pity.
After all, Du Mubai was indeed a talented student. It was a pity that he was charged with stealing other people's poems.
And he died!
How could people not feel pity?
The Great Master asked, "Crown Prince Cheng, are these two cases related?"
"I don't know yet!"
"Then why do you suddenly want Du Mubai's file?"
Li Cheng explained, "Because the identity of the deceased is not very clear, but I know that the deceased is related to Du Mubai. It may even be related to the case from six years ago. That's why I came to find you. I want to get the file of Du Mubai. After the case is solved, I will return it."
"This …"
"Is it difficult to do?"
"That's not it!" The Great Master said, "It's just that the case from that year has been closed, and the file has been sealed. If you want to take it out, you need the approval of Minister Huang. I can't make the decision on my own."
He still had to go through the procedures!
He could not mess up the rules.
Li Cheng asked, "Then where is Minister Huang now?"
"Minister Huang has been sick these days, so …"
"What? The old man is sick? "Li Cheng had always spoken like this.
The Great Master did not care and just said, "So, Crown Prince Cheng, you should come back later. I will send someone to report first, and then I will personally send the file to the city department."
Li Cheng was not satisfied and said, "I don't have time to wait for you to report back and forth. I don't know how much time it will take."
"But this is the rule. Without Minister Huang's approval, we can't open the file. So, it's useless even if Crown Prince Cheng forces us."
"…"
Although Li Cheng had not dealt with these officials, nor had he been in the officialdom.
However, he had heard a lot about the officialdom from his elder brother and father since he was a child.
It was very dark!
If he did not take Du Mubai's file today and waited for them to go through the procedures one by one, he did not know how long he would have to wait.
After all, procrastination was a common habit in the officialdom!
So, Li Cheng must get it today.
There was no time to waste.
Moreover, he had promised Ji Yunshu that he would bring Du Mubai's file to her today.
Therefore … "Lord Zhong, although each department is in charge of their own affairs, your Ministry of Justice is in charge of the Penal Department and is also related to this case. Once the case is registered, you will have to investigate the case together with the City Department. Is it so difficult for me to ask for a dossier now? It doesn't seem to do either of our departments any good if we're delayed.
Are there any benefits? "
"Actually, we are also anxious, but the rules are the rules, we can't break them. Crown Prince Cheng, please wait for me to send someone to find Lord Huang first."
This was the meaning of sending the guest off!
For some reason, Li Cheng felt that there was something fishy going on.
Perhaps he was thinking too much.
He said, "Alright, since you said the rules are the rules, then I'll personally go to Lord Huang's place."
After saying that —
And then he left!
No one could stop him even if he shouted at him.
He could only watch Li Cheng's back as he left.
Lord Zhong's troubled expression also disappeared as Li Cheng left.
He immediately instructed a lowly official beside him, "Hurry to the Minister's residence before Crown Prince Cheng and inform him."
"Yes!"
That official acknowledged the order.
He hurriedly left!
Sure enough, there was something fishy going on!
