The most despicable man, not one of them
Old General Li, that old weirdo?
He wants to see Ji Yunshu?
Ji Yunshu wasn't surprised. Instead, Jing Rong made his move before she even saw that old man!
Jing Rong asked, "Did Lord Qin go to the Li residence?"
"I went there once."
"What else did he say?"
He shook his head. "That's all. This lowly one came to inform Teacher Ji that Old General Li is waiting for you at the residence."
Going there in the middle of the night, are you crazy?
Jing Rong frowned and waved his hand. "I know. You can go now."
"Yes!"
"General Li Lai has an eccentric temperament. When you see him, you have to be more careful. Of course, you have to be patient." Ji Yunshu nodded. "You have to be careful when you see him.
"Is it that weird?"
Jing Rong nodded.
Ji Yunshu was puzzled. Even if he, Old General Li, had swept across the battlefield for many years, he couldn't possibly be a fool, could he?
"If he wants to taste tea with you, you'd better finish that cup of tea before you speak."
"Why?"
"Because he's an old weirdo!"
"…"
Jing Rong's words evoked an intense curiosity in Ji Yunshu.
He really wanted to meet that Old General Li!
The corners of her eyes curled up as she asked, "So, you want me to go see him?"
"Didn't you want to go to Qingzhou before? This Prince stopped you at that time. Now that Old General Li has come to the capital and has taken the initiative to see you, if this Prince stops you again, won't you hate this Prince to death? "
"When did I hate you?" She glanced at him and said weakly.
Jing Rong took two steps closer to her with a mischievous smile on his face.
Ji Yunshu was forced to retreat until her back was pressed against the cold, hard coffin before she could stop.
Jing Rong's body was like a huge shadow that enveloped her.
She pursed her lips, placed her hands on his chest, and glanced around warily.
Lang Po, who had been standing at the side, tactfully turned around.
There seemed to be a line of words written on his thick back.
— Take your time, I can't see!
Ugh!
"Why are you nervous?"
Jing Rong's tone was gentle.
"No."
She raised her eyes to look at the man who looked like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, but then she met his warm gaze.
His heart couldn't help but tighten.
The smile on Jing Rong's face deepened. He leaned down and gently pressed the tip of his nose against Ji Yunshu's plump forehead. He took a deep breath.
"How fragrant!"
Brother, are you a professional comedian?
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but frown. She leaned back and asked, "Incense? There are dozens of coffins around here, and they give off a strong smell of rotten wood. Don't you smell it? "
"I smell it." Jing Rong nodded lightly. "However, this Prince is only focused on smelling your scent. My nose can't tolerate anything else."
"Stop messing around."
Ji Yunshu wanted to walk around him, but he caught her in his arms and trapped her between them.
She blushed and tightened her grip on the Ministry of Revenue's register.
Jing Rong smirked. "You little vixen, what are you afraid of? I'm just … "
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and placed it on Ji Yunshu's high bun. With a pinch of his fingers, he plucked a small green leaf from her hair.
Then …
He played with it in his hand and blew on it. "I just saw a leaf on your head and wanted to take it off. What did you think this Prince wanted to do?"
He looked puzzled.
This is awkward!
Ji Yunshu swore that this was the most despicable man she had ever met.
There was no other!
She squeezed her wrist and closed the Ministry of Revenue's register. Then, she stuffed it in front of Jing Rong's chest.
Her body bounced back a few steps.
She quickly hid the blush on her face and earnestly said, "The names I crossed off are all corpses.
"The names I've crossed out on the register are those whose corpses are still there. I've also marked them with a red pen on the coffin lid so they can be reburied. This matter should be done as soon as possible. The longer the skeleton is exposed to the air, the more serious the damage will be. After all, the dead are already dead, and they should rest in peace."
Jing Rong's hand pressed against the register in front of his chest. His eyes were filled with tenderness and tenderness as he stared at her.
"Okay, this Prince understands. I will immediately send someone to do it."
She was very obedient!
Jing Rong's efficiency was very high. The courtyard was filled with coffins. In one afternoon, he had carried out 54 coffins.
The remaining 13 coffins were covered with licorice.
This was to prevent dampness.
Seeing that it was almost time for the evening, Jing Rong sent her to the Li Residence.
"If you can't get anything out of him, then don't ask. Although Old General Li isn't a treacherous person, he has lived for a long time. His way of doing things is naturally a little strange. Moreover, you mustn't forget that this Prince is the one who took over the 'Lin Capital Case'. I don't want you to get too involved, do you understand?" Ji Yunshu didn't dare to dissuade him. Instead, she turned to look at Ji Yunshu.
He slightly tightened his grip, afraid that she wouldn't remember.
Ji Yunshu gently nodded.
"I understand."
Only then did he feel relieved to let Ji Yunshu enter.
Outside the Li Residence, there was already someone waiting for her. The person bowed slightly. "Teacher Ji, Old General has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow this old servant."
"Many thanks!"
Ji Yunshu followed the old man to the Li Residence's backyard.
However, when she passed by the backyard, she didn't expect to run into Li Zhao.
He was rolling up his sleeves, holding a long fishing rod in one hand and a fish cage in the other. His footsteps were like the wind as he rushed to the front yard.
He was very happy!
However, when he saw Ji Yunshu, that happiness disappeared in an instant.
Just like before, he fiercely glared at Ji Yunshu. Then, he turned to the old man beside him and asked, "Uncle Ge, what is she doing here? My eldest sister hasn't been home for the past two days. "
"Young master, this is …"
Without waiting for Uncle Ge to finish his sentence, Li Zhao raised his head and pointed his nostrils at Ji Yunshu. "Teacher Ji, haven't you been investigating the Lin Capital case recently? What are you doing here so late at night? Why? Could it be that there's a coffin buried in my Li Residence? Do you want to dig it up? "
Ji Yunshu smiled. "Young Master Li is thinking too much. How could there be a coffin buried under your residence? If there really is, and it's a wrongful death, I'm afraid that your residence won't be peaceful at night. "
As she spoke, it was as if a cold wind slowly blew past.
Her words made Li Zhao's back turn cold. He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. His eyes swept around the surroundings.
"You … What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm just following along with Young Master Li's words. I'm not speaking nonsense. Perhaps it's really as Young Master Li said. There really is a wrongful death buried under the ground, crying day and night."
Li Zhao's cowardice wasn't an undeserved reputation.
His body faintly trembled a few times.
Red lanterns hung in the corridor of the backyard. The red light spread to the end of the corridor.
