The Case of the Li Family's Disappearance
The two of them stayed in the room for nearly two hours, but no servant came in again. Even when the tea was cold, he didn't go in to serve it.
After a while, Jing Rong came out alone. His face was gloomy and his body emitted a cold aura, making people stay away from him.
Outside, the pitter-patter of rain continued to fall. The weather was gloomy and there was a cold breeze in the air.
The whole capital seemed to be shrouded in a strange fog.
It made people feel stuffy and suffocated.
When Jing Rong returned to the mansion, his robe and hair were already wet from the light drizzle.
There was a layer of white 'frost'!
He went straight to the West Courtyard, but as soon as he entered, he was informed by several maidservants that Ji Yunshu went out.
"Did she bring Young Master Wei with her?" His tone was cold.
The maidservant shrunk back and shook her head. "No, Young Master Wei is in the room. Teacher Ji went out alone."
"Where did she go?"
"I don't know!"
"Is this how you do things?" Jing Rong scolded.
The maidservants were so scared that they lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at him. They opened their mouths and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, not long after you left, someone came to deliver something to Teacher Ji. After that, Teacher Ji left in a hurry. He only told us to look after Young Master Wei and didn't say anything else. We couldn't stop him."
This made Jing Rong's heart clench.
Ji Yunshu had just arrived in the capital and was unfamiliar with the people and the place. Who did she go out to meet? The Ji Family. It was impossible. At this time, the Ji Family couldn't even finish the funeral.
Who could it be?
He waved his sleeve forcefully and summoned Lang Po. With an anxious expression, he loudly ordered, "Immediately send people to search the entire capital. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find Ji Yunshu for me. I won't allow any harm to befall her."
"As you command!"
Lang Po was also anxious. He quickly led the guards of the Rong Estate to find Ji Yunshu.
At this time, Wei Yi heard the noise and came out with a piece of osmanthus cake in his hand and his mouth full.
He asked Jing Rong in a muffled voice, "Big Brother, why are you shouting? Shu 'er told me that I can't talk when I eat. Why are you disturbing me? "
"…"
Seeing that Ji Yunshu did not reply, Wei Yi walked over and lifted his chin slightly. "Are you hungry?"
"Not hungry!"
"Then why are you shouting?"
How naive!
Black lines appeared on Jing Rong's forehead. He was anxious to death. 'This silly boy is still trying to make me laugh. Can't he be more serious?'
He turned around and ordered his maids, "Look after Young Master Wei. If there are any more accidents, this prince will deal with all of you."
"Yes!" The maidservants replied in unison.
Immediately after, Jing Rong rushed out of the mansion in search of Ji Yunshu.
Behind him, Wei Yi muttered, "Has big brother gone mad?"
When the maids saw that Jing Rong had left, they felt relieved. However, they still looked at each other in dismay, trembling slightly.
Wei Yi walked in front of the maids and spoke in a comforting tone, "Big Sisters, don't be afraid of Big Brother. Although Big Brother is a punching bag, he is a good person. Don't be afraid of him, and don't be angry at him."
"Young Master Wei, we …"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. What Big Brother fears the most is Shu 'er. If he bullies you, I will tell Shu' er."
The maids' hearts were beating like drums. Teacher Ji was a man, but Young Master Wei called her Shu 'er. This form of address was too intimate, and it sounded a little strange.
Putting this aside, the little girls all nodded in agreement.
It must be known that Wei Yi was an expert in 'speaking'. Although they had only known him for a day, this' advantage 'of Wei Yi's was very obvious.
If they didn't nod their heads, Wei Yi would probably drag them along and talk for a few hours before giving up.
Wei Yi chuckled and finished chewing the pastry in his mouth. Then, he stuffed the one in his hand into his mouth. Satisfied, he entered his room and continued eating.
On the other side.
After Ji Yunshu left Prince Rong's mansion, she went to a restaurant.
As soon as she entered, she was led to a private room on the second floor by a waiter.
When Xiao Chen pushed the door open and entered, he saw a person sitting upright in a dignified manner. Although his face was calm, the arrogance in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
The door behind her was slammed shut.
Ji Yunshu wasn't surprised. She held a short letter in her hand and patted the rainwater off her shoulder. She walked over with the corner of her mouth slightly raised.
She said, "I didn't expect that Madame Jiang would know that I came to the capital so quickly."
The person sitting in front of her was the ostentatious and domineering Madame Jiang.
When Ji Yunshu was imprisoned, she already knew that Madame Jiang and Li Zhao had been released. Moreover, it was Old General Li who sent a yellow document to the yamen. The magistrate had no choice but to obey the order and release the two.
The Li family's face was really big!
Madame Jiang's eyes were full of smiles, but more than that, she exclaimed in admiration. She waved her hands at the chair next to her. "Teacher Ji, please sit. I have already ordered people to prepare delicacies to welcome you."
Ji Yunshu didn't stand on ceremony. She lightly adjusted her robe and sat down.
In front of her were the signature dishes of this restaurant. Each dish was very exquisite and beautiful.
She smiled politely. "Madame Jiang, you don't need to be so extravagant."
"How could it be extravagant? I have already said that Teacher Ji is not an ordinary person. Now that you have finally come to the capital, I naturally have to drink three cups of wine with Teacher Ji. Setting up a banquet like this is a bit neglectful."
'Rich people are really different!'
Ji Yunshu turned to meet Madame Jiang's gaze. She sternly said, "Since Madame Jiang and I are not meeting for the first time, if Madame Jiang has something to say, there is no harm in saying it. Delicacies are not my hobby."
She lightly shook her head.
"Teacher Ji is really smart. I can't hide anything from you. Since Teacher Ji has already guessed my intention, I will say it directly."
'Oh!
I really have something to say! '
'That's right. Back in Jinjiang, I exposed her' scar '. Madame Jiang should hate me to death. How could she really drink three cups of wine with me?'
Madame Jiang sighed and slowly said, "I won't hide it from Teacher Ji. In my mansion, there is a younger sister who has just reached marriageable age. Her name is Shuiqing. However, not long ago, the day before I returned to the capital from Jinjiang, Shuiqing mysteriously disappeared. I sent people everywhere to inquire about her, but there was no news."
She went straight to the point!
"The case of a young girl's disappearance?" Ji Yunshu softly asked.
"That's right. Teacher Ji must have heard about it as soon as you arrived in the capital. In the past two months, there have been many cases of missing girls in the capital. Even after investigating for a long time, there were no clues. It really made people panic. However, I didn't expect that the murderer's hand would extend to my Li family. "
Madame Jiang's embroidered hands tightly clenched into fists.
Ji Yunshu roughly understood the meaning behind her words. She lowered her eyes and asked, "So, Madame Jiang wants me to help you?"
"I know Teacher Ji's ability."
"Madame Jiang …"
Madame Jiang immediately interrupted her.
