After listening to Wen Che's analysis,
Wen Yu seemed to have been enlightened by someone and was instantly enlightened.
She didn't expect that there was such a big problem. She was worried that Luo Yang's words would offend Official Li, but she ignored the more important thing.
"Big Brother, you are so thoughtful." “
In this way, they really hoped that Li Shiyan was the murderer!
They could use this opportunity to suppress the Su family's position in the court.
To the Wen Clan, it was an effortless benefit. When the time comes, they might even be able to rope in the Minister of Works.
…
At this moment, the elite soldiers of the Supreme Court had already arrived at the rockery in the west wing according to the location Luoyang had mentioned. However, the rockery was too large, so the elite soldiers had to split up and search, approaching the center from four corners.
After a while …
"There is the smell of blood!" Someone suddenly shouted.
The few of them followed the smell of blood to a small cave in the rockery. Sure enough, they found a pool of blood inside.
"There is blood here!"
They also found something in the pool of blood.
A soldier used a white cloth to take the thing out and immediately reported, "Official, we found a pool of blood behind the rockery, and …"
Huang Dali asked, "What?"
The person who came presented the item. It was a jade pendant that was stained with blood. It was a round piece of Hundred Fields Jade. The jade body was pure white and there was an exquisite lion head carved on it. The elite soldier said, "This was found in the pool of blood."
Huang Dali's eyes widened.
Because everyone knew who that jade pendant belonged to.
There was only one jade with a lion head carved on it in Qujiang. It belonged to Marquis Kangding's heir.
Jiang Bin's eyes lit up and said, "This jade belongs to the heir! It seems that the heir accidentally dropped the jade when he killed the person. "
Now, everyone was even more certain that Li Shiyan was the murderer.
Huang Dali was the Chancellor of the Supreme Court. Everything depended on witness and material evidence. Now, someone saw it with their own eyes and had material evidence. All of this pointed to Li Shiyan. He immediately ordered the arrest, but …
He glanced at Lord Li, because no matter what, Li Shiyan was Lord Li's nephew.
Official Li's face was very ugly. He slowly got up and stared at the jade in shock.
Unbelievable!
This matter was actually related to his nephew.
He paused for a long time before saying with a righteous expression, "Lord Huang, since this case involves Shi Yan, it won't be good for me to interfere. I'll leave everything to you."
Huang Dali cupped his hands. "Yes, I will do my best to investigate this case."
As a result, Yu Dali immediately sent people to increase the search radius around the villa. They had to find Li Shiyan as soon as possible.
Those who came to the manor to celebrate the birthday also went back to their rooms to wait for news. Because Huang Dali forbade them from leaving the manor, they were not allowed to walk around. Luo Yang originally wanted to look for Ji Yunshu, but every courtyard was guarded by elite soldiers from the Supreme Court. If he went out at this time, he might attract suspicion, so he had no choice but to give up on the idea.
Zhu Yao paced back and forth nervously in the room. Her hands were clasped together, and her palms were sweaty.
Cai 'er said, "Miss, don't worry too much. I believe it has nothing to do with the heir."
Zhu Yao's eyes were filled with tears. She was extremely nervous. "But now that we have the witness and the evidence, everything is against him. We don't even know where he is right now. I'm really worried!" She grabbed Cai 'er's hand and said, "Cai' er, it definitely wasn't Shi Yan who killed them, right? Although he had a conflict with that Young Master Wang, I don't believe he would kill anyone. He definitely wouldn't. "
"Of course not. Miss, you must believe in the heir."
Zhu Yao tried her best to calm herself down. "Yes, I must believe him. I must believe him. Even if everyone suspects him, I will definitely believe him." As she spoke, her tears were already flowing. She quickly walked to the window and clasped her hands together, praying. "Bodhisattva, please protect Shi Yan. As long as he's fine, I'm willing to do anything. Even if my lifespan is shortened or my life is taken, I'm willing."
Cai 'er said, "Miss … why do you …"
She didn't finish her sentence.
Then, Zhu Yao thought of something and hurriedly said to Cai 'er, "Oh right, quickly send someone down the mountain to inform the Marquis."
Cai 'er told her, "Miss, don't worry. Lord Li has already sent someone down the mountain to inform the Marquis. I believe he'll be here soon. I think the Old Master is worried about you, so he'll probably come along."
"That's good!" She nodded and continued to pray.
…
The elite soldiers of the Supreme Court and the manservant of the villa searched until nightfall. However, Misty Peak was too big. Who knew how long they would have to search like this?
Marquis Kang Ding's Estate.
The news from Ning 'an Villa quickly reached the estate.
Recently, because of Prince Jing An's matter, the important officials in the court had been busy. The Marquis had also been running around the palace day and night. He was physically and mentally exhausted.
At this moment, he had just come out of the palace and stepped into the estate.
"Master, bad news!" The manservant shouted at the top of his lungs and hurriedly ran to him.
The Marquis's expression changed. "What are you shouting for?"
"The heir, he … he …"
Shi Yan?
When the Marquis heard about his son, his expression suddenly froze. He asked, "What happened to Shi Yan?"
The manservant trembled all over and said in a trembling voice, "The heir, he … he might have killed someone!"
"What?"
"I don't know the specifics. The Old Master sent someone to tell me that today is the Old Master's birthday. In the end, there was a murder in the villa. The nephew of the Minister of Works, Wang Huai, died. The people of the Supreme Court have been dispatched. They said that after some questioning and investigation, all the evidence points to the heir! "
Uh!
The Marquis's chest shook and his body suddenly trembled. He stumbled a few steps back. Fortunately, the manservant immediately supported him. He hurriedly asked, "Then … where is Shi Yan?"
The manservant said with a bitter face, "Now the heir's whereabouts are unknown, but the people of the villa said that he didn't leave the big suspension bridge of Misty Peak. So he must still be near the villa. They have already sent people to search everywhere. Master, what should we do?"
The Marquis tried to keep calm and rational. He immediately ordered, "Immediately prepare a horse to Ning 'an Villa and send someone to inform Minister Zhu!"
"Yes!"
Soon, the Marquis and Minister Zhu rushed to Ning 'an Villa together.
The Minister of Works, Wang Zong, was also on his way to Ning 'an Villa.
…
Night.
The villa was full of people. Everyone held a lamp in their hands. Whether it was the villa or the forest outside, they were all brightly lit.
Ji Yunshu saw that the sky outside was already dark. She said to Jing Rong, "Now that there is a murder in the villa, it is a mess everywhere. We can take this opportunity to leave this place. No one will find out."
She had already packed her things and was only waiting for nightfall to leave.
Jing Rong's expression was solemn. His face looked calm, but his mind was full of thoughts. He looked at her. "Miss Ji …"
Before he could finish, Ji Yunshu held his hand and said, "Now that things have come to this, do you still want to refuse me?"
No matter what, she wanted to leave this place with him!
However …
In the end, Jing Rong still opened his mouth and told her seriously, "I still have things to do. It is impossible for me to leave with you."
"I don't care what you have to do. I must bring you back to Great Lin."
"I am from Qujiang!"
"You are not!" Ji Yunshu's nose turned sour. Her eyes were resolute as she told him, "When you return to Great Lin with me, I will tell you your identity and everything about you!"
Jing Rong tried to push her away, but she was unwilling to loosen her grip. "Miss Ji …"
"I know you care about me. Otherwise, you would have already killed me today. I also know that I am in your heart. Whether you remember me or not, I am in your heart. Don't lie to yourself anymore, okay? Let's leave this place. Don't worry about anything else, okay? "
Ji Yunshu's tone was pleading.
Jing Rong looked at her and saw the tears in her eyes. He really didn't want her to feel sad.
So at this moment, he was silent.
Ji Yunshu took it as a yes and pulled his hand. "Let's go!"
She was about to pull him out of the door.
Jing Rong suddenly said, "Miss Ji, I am sorry."
Huh?
Ji Yunshu's body froze. Before she could turn around, she felt a sharp pain on her neck.
She immediately fainted. The bundle in her hand fell to the ground and her body went limp.
