This Prince Will Block it for You
Who would have thought that the deceased would be a member of the Li family?
Shuiqing was also very pitiful.
However, it was probably because of Madame Jiang's own actions that her younger sister received her retribution.
Ji Yunshu remained silent. She glanced at Jing Rong and tugged at his sleeve, pulling him to the side to make room for Madame Jiang and the others to enter.
Madame Jiang was sobbing in a low voice. Her cheeks were slightly twitching and her lips were pale.
She looked as if she was heartbroken.
The distance from the door to the inside of the house was only about ten steps, but her feet felt as heavy as stone for a long time.
Her originally proud and straight body was now supported by two maidservants. She was on the verge of collapsing.
Li Zhao wanted to follow, but he stopped at the door. He looked at Ji Yunshu with hatred in his eyes.
"As long as you are around, nothing good will happen. It's the same in Jinjiang, and it's the same in the capital. Did our Li family kill your entire family in your previous life?"
He wished he could grab Ji Yunshu's delicate neck and strangle her to death.
Ji Yunshu remained silent.
However, Jing Rong was angry.
'How dare you scold my woman like this?'
His eagle-like gaze became even more intense as he stared at Li Zhao. He took a step forward.
He took a step forward and coldly said, "If you think that Jinjiang's prison isn't big enough for you, this Prince doesn't recommend sending you to the Ministry of Justice's prison."
Li Zhao was a coward. He lowered his eyes and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. His body trembled a few times before he quickly entered the room.
In an instant, Jing Rong turned around to face Ji Yunshu. He looked down at her, who was a head shorter than him.
"Where did the imposing manner you used to burn down the Ji Mansion go?"
"…"
"Where did the courage you used to solve the case go?"
"…"
"Don't talk empty words with me. Remember, as long as this Prince is here, no one can bully or humiliate you. This Prince is your biggest backer. As long as I don't fall, I will protect you."
Jing Rong's words were firm.
It was an indisputable fact that he loved Ji Yunshu dearly. He treated this woman as if she was his Princess Rong.
Ji Yunshu's expression was indifferent. She lightly sighed and looked him in the eye. She said, "Li Zhao must be angry because of the death of someone from the Li family. It's understandable that he wanted to vent his anger. If I met this kind of person and had to quarrel with him every time, wouldn't I be exhausted to death?"
His tone was slightly tired!
Arguing with Li Zhao, that brat, was indeed a waste of her breath.
Jing Rong seemed to understand what she meant. Could it be that he was too calculative?
Of course not.
"Forget it. From now on, I'll block such people for you."
Full of tenderness!
Ji Yunshu's heart trembled. She immediately avoided his gaze and entered the room.
Jing Xuan's face was full of confusion. Since when did my royal brother treat people so well?
She scratched her head and pouted. She wanted to ask something, but after thinking about it, she swallowed her words.
Inside the room, Madame Jiang lay next to the body, her mouth incessantly muttering something. Her crying was heart-wrenching and lung-splitting. Her body was so weak that it was about to collapse to the ground. Fortunately, her maidservant supported her.
However, the two maidservants turned their heads away. They didn't dare to look at the corpse. They frowned and tried their best to hold their breaths.
Li Zhao stood far away and didn't approach. He put his hand on the tip of his nose. It was obvious that he was disgusted.
After a while, the capital governor's voice came from outside.
"Teacher Ji, did you bring the woodcutter? Do you want to ask him anything? "
Ji Yunshu heard the voice and went out. She saw the woodcutter bowing in the courtyard. He didn't even dare to lift his eyes.
The honest woodcutter had never seen such a scene before.
Ji Yunshu looked at him from head to toe and asked, "Were you the one who found the corpse?"
"Yes."
"Where did you find it?"
"On Mount Liang. I went there to chop firewood. I didn't kill anyone. If I did, I would have run away long ago. Why would I report it to the authorities? You can't wrongly accuse me! "
The woodcutter was extremely nervous. He was afraid that he would be labeled as the murderer.
Ji Yunshu said, "I didn't say that you killed him." She continued, "Let me ask you. When you found the corpse? Did you see anyone in the surroundings? "
The woodcutter heaved a sigh of relief. He thought about it again and shook his head. "I didn't see anyone. I only saw a corpse. It was very miserable. The skin on his face was peeled off and both his hands were chopped off."
Ji Yunshu sighed.
When the woodcutter saw the corpse, he must have vomited as well.
Ji Yunshu pondered for a moment. Then, she walked to the capital governor.
"I'll have to trouble the Capital Governor to bring some men and follow this woodcutter to the scene of the crime and search the surroundings carefully. Whether it's horse carriage tracks or footprints, check everything clearly. Before the victim died, her body must have been very weak, so it's impossible for her to have run far. Therefore, it's possible that she ran out from somewhere nearby. We must expand the search area. Moreover, I'll have to ask the woodcutters who often chop firewood on Liang Mountain to see if they have seen any suspicious people or if anything suspicious has happened. I believe that the Capital Governor should be able to handle this matter, right?"
Ji Yunshu's words were very clear, and the capital governor understood.
At this moment, he nodded his head, admitting that he was capable. Then, he became suspicious and asked, "Has Teacher Ji ever been a local official?"
"Why do you ask?"
"This official admires Teacher Ji's way of investigating the case. Every detail is meticulous. Therefore, this official is guessing that Teacher Ji has served in a local government?"
Ji Yunshu shook her head. "You're thinking too much. This humble one has only read a few books."
The capital governor was skeptical, but his heart was filled with curiosity towards this person.
'The person Prince Rong found is absolutely extraordinary!'
Without further delay, the capital governor dispatched his people to carry out Ji Yunshu's request.
At this moment, Madame Jiang was finally tired from crying. Her trembling hands slowly covered the corpse with the white cloth. She held a handkerchief and wiped her tears before coming out.
She shook off the two maidservants beside her and walked towards Ji Yunshu.
Her voice was hoarse as she softly said, "I never thought that Shuiqing would be in such a miserable state. Since Teacher Ji has already helped me find Shuiqing, I naturally won't go back on my word. After Shuiqing's funeral is settled, I will tell you everything I know."
That pair of red eyes, filled with blood vessels.
Ji Yunshu didn't say anything and only nodded.
Madame Jiang cried a few more drops of tears and took a deep breath.
"I beseech Teacher Ji to find the real culprit. I want the culprit's body to be torn apart by five horses. Only then can my Li family's anger be vented."
"There is no need for Madame Jiang's request. Since I accepted this case, I will naturally investigate it in detail."
"I have faith in Teacher Ji's ability."
Madame Jiang's body became unstable and she almost fell down again. The two maidservants quickly supported her and helped her out of the hall.
Li Zhao left in large strides while covering his mouth. Presumably, he wanted to vomit the moment he entered the hall.
In the end, Jing Rong, Ji Yunshu, and Jing Xuan also left the memorial hall.
Jing Xuan got into the carriage very quickly.
