'Ah!
Lie? '
Lie?
Gan Chuliang retracted his gloomy expression.
Gan Chuliang's gaze gradually tightened.
At the same time, his palm gradually tightened, causing Ji Yunshu's wrist to feel pain.
However, Ji Yunshu didn't struggle. She fearlessly looked at Gan Chuliang's bloodshot eyes.
She questioned him.
"In the end, did you kill anyone?"
Ji Yunshu's wise eyes were like an aurora that could penetrate people's hearts. She could clearly see through the other party.
Gan Chuliang's hand slowly moved away from her arm.
At the same time, he said, "I've told you everything. All the evidence points to me. I'm the murderer. You should kill me immediately and dismember me."
Yes, all the evidence points to him. Before this, Ji Yunshu was certain that he was the murderer.
How could she say that he was lying at this time?
Ji Yunshu took a step back and said, "Don't worry. If you really killed him, you will receive the retribution you deserve."
Without saying anything else, she immediately turned around and left Gan Chuliang's cell.
Behind her, Gan Chuliang's roar resounded.
"I am the murderer! Kill me! Hurry up and kill me!"
Along with the sound of someone hitting a wooden stake …
Ji Yunshu stopped at the jailer's resting area. Without saying anything, she quickly picked up the brush and ink on the table and wrote something on the paper. When the ink dried, she folded the paper.
She quickly handed it to the capital governor.
"Capital Governor, please send someone to the palace gate immediately. If Prince Rong can successfully stop Prince Yi, then you don't need to give this letter to him. If he can't, then give this letter to him and let him and Prince Yi enter the palace together to meet the emperor."
"This …"
"This matter is urgent. It will be too late if we delay any longer."
Seeing Ji Yunshu so anxious, the capital governor no longer asked. He took the letter and immediately called his people in.
However, the capital governor was still in a daze. He asked Ji Yunshu, "Teacher Ji, what is going on? What is written in the letter that needs to be sent to Prince Rong in such a hurry? "
Ji Yunshu glanced at Gan Chuliang's cell. Her expression slightly sank before she looked at the capital governor.
He asked, "Did you notice Gan Chuliang's Adam's apple?"
"Adam's apple?" The capital governor thought for a moment, "What's wrong with it?"
"His Adam's apple is obviously different from ordinary people. A normal man's Adam's apple is at an angle. The smaller the angle, the bigger the Adam's apple. But … Gan Chuliang's Adam's apple is different. The angle of his Adam's apple is close to an obtuse angle. It's almost the size of a woman's Adam's apple."
"What does that mean?"
"This means …"
…
Jing Rong spurred his horse forward and rushed to the south gate with Lang Po.
Just then, Prince Yi alighted from his carriage and prepared to enter the palace.
She had only taken two steps when Jing Rong stopped her.
Seeing Jing Rong's anxious expression, Jing Yi smiled and asked with a puzzled expression, "What are you doing?"
"You're going to file a missing persons report?"
"Yes."
"Why are you doing this?" Jing Rong questioned.
Jing Yi didn't try to hide anything and directly asked, "Why? Jing Rong, I'm the one who investigated this case, so of course I'll report it to Imperial Father. "
Shameless!
"You should be very clear about the implications of this case."
"Of course I know, but you and I both know that the Crown Prince is Jing Hua and Imperial Father is already old. How many more years can we wait for? Moreover, His Highness' status is very sensitive. You investigated the missing persons case because of the 'Lin Capital Case', but in the end, it's all for the sake of the Crown Prince's position! "
"So, this is the reason why you repeatedly obstructed me?"
"As the saying goes, a mink's nest is different from its cave, and a Pi's thirst is different from its thirst." Jing Yi's tone carried a deeper meaning.
Of course, Jing Rong wasn't stupid and understood his meaning.
"Jing Yi, I only want to investigate the 'Lin Capital Case'. I don't have any other intentions. As long as you promise not to interfere with this case, I can guarantee you that I won't compete with you. You also don't need to be on guard against me."
"Why should I believe you?" Jing Yi raised his eyebrows.
"If I wanted to compete with you, I would've presented the jade pendant to Imperial Father on the day I returned to the capital."
Ah!
Jing Yi's heart skipped a beat, but he casually said, "Jing Rong, you know I'm not afraid. A jade pendant alone can't prove anything."
"Must you interfere with this matter?"
"I don't want to be your enemy. It's just that if people want to climb higher, they must cut off the path behind them to prevent others from climbing higher." As he said this, he patted Jing Rong's shoulder and sneered. "Next time, don't let me beat you to it!"
As he finished speaking, he entered the southern gate.
Jing Rong's face sank as he watched his figure disappear into the distance.
Lang Po walked over and whispered, "Your Highness, if Prince Yi really reports this, then …"
Before he could finish his sentence, the sound of hooves could be heard.
The person on the horse dismounted and knelt on one knee in front of Jing Rong, handing him the letter.
"Your Highness, this is from Teacher Ji."
Huh?
"Teacher Ji said that if Prince Rong can't stop Prince Yi, after reading this letter, he will enter the palace together with Prince Yi to meet the Emperor!"
Jing Rong took the letter and opened it. He was shocked!
He was shocked! He immediately put the letter away and quickly entered the southern gate.
Lang Po, who was behind him, was puzzled.
Inside Fuyang Hall.
Jing Yi had already handed over the charges in his hands to Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen was overjoyed and closed the crime report. "In the past two months, the people in and out of the capital have been in a state of panic because of this matter. The Capital Magistrate investigated left and right, but he couldn't find the truth. I didn't expect that this case would be solved by you. Good, very good."
Jing Yi lowered his head and bowed slightly. The corners of his mouth curled into an indifferent smile.
"We have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Now that you have solved the case, we can't not reward you. Tell me, what do you want?"
The throne!
Can you give it to me?
Jing Yi cupped his hands in greeting. "This son only hopes that the people of Great Lin will be at peace. Moreover, this matter is related to the well-being of the common people. This is what this son should do. I do not ask for a reward from Imperial Father."
This answer!
In modern times, it would be the standard answer!
Obviously, Qi Zhen emperor was very satisfied with Jing Yi's answer. He nodded and said, "In any case, you have made a great contribution. We will reward you …"
"Prince Rong has arrived!"
Jing Rong entered at the right time. His face was expressionless as he cupped his hands and bowed. "This son greets Imperial Father."
Qi Zhen emperor asked, "Why did you come to the palace?"
"This son knew that Prince Yi entered the palace to report the missing girls case, so I came together with him. Regarding the missing girls case, this son also …"
Qi Zhen emperor interrupted him. "We know what you want to say. Previously, we promised Teacher Ji that as long as he solved the missing girls case, we would agree to open the coffins of the Imperial Duke. But now, this case was solved by Jing Yi. We will naturally drop the matter of opening the coffins."
The corner of Jing Yi's mouth curved into a smile.
However, Jing Rong's face was still calm. He took a step forward and said, "This son only wants to say that Prince Yi's report was wrong."
"Wrong?"
"The murderer is not Gan Chuliang."
Qi Zhen emperor frowned. He looked at the shocked Jing Yi and asked Jing Rong, "Why?"
Jing Rong answered.
