Jing Rong smelled the tea and smiled gently.
Regarding Li Cheng's gratitude, he only said, "Prince Cheng, we are just taking what we need. You don't need to thank me."
"How can I do that? In any case, I still have to thank you."
He was very sincere!
Ji Yunshu took a sip from her teacup.
She quickly put it down.
Seeing this, Li Cheng asked, "What's wrong? Young Master Ji, you don't like it? "
"No."
"Then why?"
"I'm just not used to it."
Li Cheng immediately said, "This is the best teahouse in Gaoding. Their tea is sweet and refreshing. Many young masters like to come here and often sit for several hours."
"Oh? Is that so? "
"Of course! For example, I like the tea here. "
Ji Yunshu was speechless.
"It seems that our tastes are different from yours!" Jing Rong said.
Li Cheng frowned, thinking that he brought them to the wrong place. He felt a little embarrassed. "Then … how about we go to another place? I also know a teahouse whose tea is very good. "
Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu were not used to such hospitality.
Ji Yunshu politely said, "No need to trouble yourself. We are fine here."
"But …"
"It's snowing outside. Let's just sit here."
Li Cheng thought for a moment and nodded. He then ordered the servant to bring another pot of good tea.
He also ordered the servant to bring two heaters and put them on the side.
Outside, it was snowing heavily. It was heavier and more urgent than the previous few days.
It almost blocked people's sight.
Sitting here and looking out, it was a beautiful scene.
Li Cheng drank several cups of tea in a row. Suddenly, he remembered something and patted his head. "Oh, I almost forgot!"
'Huh?'
"Yesterday's investigation revealed that the murderer is not five feet seven inches tall, but five feet three inches tall like Du Mubai. In other words, Fang Tong, Jiang Wen, and Bingzheng are all suspects! Their height is similar to Du Mubai's, especially Fang Tong. They are the same height. "
"So, you sent someone to look for them?" Li Cheng nodded, "The Ministry of Justice has already judged the case. Zhan Zheng was sentenced to five years in prison, and will not be able to serve as a judge for the rest of his life. Fang Tong and Jiang Wen were also disqualified from the examination for life. They rested for a few days after being punished by the Ministry of Penalty. They were about to leave Gaoding yesterday. Fortunately, I sent people to capture them overnight.
If Du Mubai's death really had nothing to do with them, I would definitely let them go. But now, they are suspects! You can't leave yet! "
Ji Yunshu approved of his actions.
She nodded. "Yes, you're right!"
This was the first time she praised Li Cheng.
Li Cheng immediately grinned from ear to ear.
On the other side, Jing Rong's eyes turned cold.
It was not jealousy!
But he really didn't like the infatuated, worshipping, and admiring look that Li Cheng revealed when he looked at his woman.
Li Cheng added, "Also, I sent people to investigate the raft and the rope. There aren't many shops in Gaoding City that sell rope. I believe we will find some clues soon."
His tone was resolute and decisive.
But he didn't know how efficient the officials of the Ministry of Justice were.
Moreover …
Ji Yunshu had other concerns. "The incident happened six years ago. Even if we can find a shop that sells that kind of rope, the shop owner may not remember who bought it!"
Merchants came and went.
No one could guarantee that the shop owner would remember the incident six years ago.
Jing Rong narrowed his eyes and indifferently said, "But maybe … the shop owner has a good memory."
"That's right!" Li Cheng hurriedly added.
His voice was very high.
He agreed.
Suddenly, another voice drowned out the others.
"Why are you so strange? I'll just take a sip. It's not like I'll die. "
Lang Po's voice came from the next table.
There was an aisle between the two tables, so there was some distance between them.
Hearing the voice, she saw Lang Po's buttocks rise from the chair. Half of his body was pressed against the table, and he reached out to grab the jar of wine in Bai Yin's hand.
"Give it to me."
"You're injured. You can't drink."
"I'm not a woman, and I'm not a pampered boy like you. How can I not drink wine when I'm injured? I've already endured for two days. If I continue, I'll go crazy. You don't want to see me die, do you? "
Bai Yin's attitude was firm. She hid the jar behind her back and stared at Lang Po, who looked like a hungry wolf. "I think you're the one who's a woman. You won't listen to advice."
"You …"
"Just drink your tea."
"I already said I'm fine."
"Anyway, you can't drink now. If something happens, we'll have to take care of you. It's not worth it!"
Pfft!
So this guy was afraid that Lang Po would drink and hurt his body. If that happened, I'll have to take care of him!
Lang Po was both excited and helpless.
In the end, he could only sit back down.
He picked up the cup of tea in front of him and drank it in one gulp.
His heart was filled with anger.
To prevent him from snatching the jar of wine again, Bai Yin tossed the wine in her hand towards Jing Rong.
Jing Rong stretched out his hand and caught it firmly.
He then removed the cork and poured himself a cup of wine.
He drank it.
"The tea in this teahouse isn't that great, but the wine is." Jing Rong purposely said this to Lang Po with a smile.
When Lang Po heard this, he immediately turned around and glared fiercely at Bai Yin, who was sitting opposite him.
Then, he scolded, "Mind your own business!"
Bai Yin didn't think much of it.
While they were fooling around, Li Cheng quietly asked Jing Rong, "Who's that person? Why haven't I seen him before? "
Jing Rong's expression was cold as he replied, "A friend."
"He must still be very powerful!"
"Mm."
"What's his name?"
"You can ask him yourself." "Ask him myself?" Li Cheng sneaked a glance at Lang Po. That guy was tall and burly, and he carried a sword with him. In addition, he was flustered because he didn't drink the wine earlier. If Li Cheng went over to express his goodwill, he would certainly not receive a friendly look. After thinking for a while, he shook his head. "Forget it.
”
After all, his martial arts foundation was weak. If they were to fight, and there were no guards by his side, he could not guarantee that he would be beaten black and blue.
At this time …
A waiter cheerfully led a few people upstairs.
He said, "Ladies, please slow down! Don't fall. "
His attitude was very good!
Then, they saw a few girls dressed in luxurious clothes slowly walking up from below.
They were obviously the daughters of rich families.
Each of them was dressed very elegantly.
Just the handkerchiefs in the hands of those girls were not something that an ordinary family could afford.
However, when Li Cheng saw one of the girls, he immediately turned his head and opened the folding fan he carried with him.
It covered his face.
Eh?
Who is this?
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong looked at each other, both confused.
