Moonlight Rune? Liu Gang?
Ji Yunshu's eyes darkened. She stepped forward silently and pulled Wei Yi up from the ground.
"Wei Yi, tell me, what's going on?"
Wei Yi stood behind Ji Yunshu and pointed at the snowflake porridge on the ground.
"Shu 'er, I accidentally bumped into this big sister and knocked her porridge over. I didn't do it on purpose, really, I didn't do it on purpose."
He sounded a little anxious as he spoke.
"You did!"
Zhang Xinlan was enraged.
She glanced over and saw Wen Lingyang, who had followed Ji Yunshu out. She ran over and grabbed his arm.
She started to complain, "Lingyang, I made you snowflake porridge all day, but it was knocked over by that idiot. It's all that idiot's fault, he didn't even look at me when he walked. You have to help me."
Wen Lingyang's expression darkened. He immediately retracted his arm and started to scold her.
"He already said that he didn't do it on purpose. Why did you still make things difficult for him?"
"I didn't make things difficult for him. It was that idiot who bumped into me on purpose. It was him …"
"Xinlan." Wen Lingyang scolded, "Don't be rude."
Zhang Xinlan felt very wronged and glared at Wei Yi. She angrily stormed over and scolded him, "Where did this idiot come from? You're so reckless and blind when you walk. You have to pay for my snowflake porridge. "
"Shut up!"
Ji Yunshu suddenly scolded.
This was the first time she had been so angry recently.
Zhang Xinlan's body trembled, her round eyes staring straight at Ji Yunshu.
"Who … who are you?"
She was clearly frightened by Ji Yunshu's imposing manner.
Ji Yunshu's eyes narrowed. She maintained a cold expression as she said, "Listen up, Wei Yi is not an idiot. You have no right to scold him like this. If you want to pay for a bowl of snowflake porridge, I'll pay you. A ladle of water, a grain of rice, even the time you spent. Calculate the cost and give me a list. You won't get a single cent less."
Ugh!
Zhang Xinlan choked.
She couldn't speak for a moment.
He felt as if he had swallowed a fly.
After stuttering for a while, she explained, "It's not that I'm worried about the money, but I made this bowl of snowflake porridge for Lingyang."
"Just pretend that I've already drunk it. Stop messing around." Wen Lingyang spoke up, tugging at her. "Go back quickly. This is the yamen, you're not allowed to cause a ruckus here."
"Lingyang, you …"
Just as he was about to shed tears of grievance, he heard a rough voice shouting from afar.
"Teacher Ji."
Looking over, they saw Constable Zhang rushing over in a hurry. His forehead was covered in sweat.
He turned to Ji Yun, "Teacher Ji, His Highness said …"
Before he could finish his words.
"Brother."
Zhang Xinlan snuggled up to him.
Constable Zhang turned his head and discovered that his younger sister was also present. For a moment, he swallowed the words he wanted to tell Ji Yunshu.
"Why are you here?"
"I'm here to look for Lingyang. The snowflake porridge I've been cooking for him all day was knocked over by someone. Brother, you have to help me. It was that idiot who knocked it over. He kept saying that he didn't do it on purpose. Is it alright as long as he didn't do it on purpose?" She pointed at Wei Yi, then at Ji Yunshu. "And this person. I don't know where he came from, but he was talking about me just now."
"Nonsense!"
Constable Zhang slapped her outstretched hand down, reprimanding her sternly, "These two are Prince Rong's men. What nonsense are you spouting?"
Ah?
Zhang Xinlan was dumbfounded. She took a step back, her eyes widening as she looked at Ji Yunshu from head to toe.
He looked Ji Yunshu up and down and suddenly felt that he was a little too snobbish just now.
She shrunk back and lowered her head, wanting to find a hole to hide in.
How shameful!
Constable Zhang remembered the matter at hand and hurriedly told Ji Yunshu, "Teacher Ji, His Highness wants you to go over. He said that someone called Zhao Huai is here."
She nodded and tossed the matter aside. Then, she pulled Wei Yi to the front yard.
As Constable Zhang followed them, he did not forget to scold his sister, "Look at you, isn't it just a bowl of snowflake porridge? If you offend Teacher Ji, even if you offend Prince Ye, even I, your big brother, will have to bear the consequences. Say, can't you control your mouth a little bit? "Ji Yunshu thought to himself." What's wrong with you? You always cause trouble for me, really. "
He waved his hand forcefully and left.
"Big Brother."
Zhang Xinlan's eyes were filled with tears.
After Constable Zhang left, Wen Lingyang also went over.
Only Ji Yunshu and the snowflake porridge were left on the ground.
In the court!
Zhao Huai stood in the middle of the court, like a superior inspecting his work.
His gaze was straight ahead, his muscular chest looked as if it was about to burst the fabric of his outer shirt. He stood ramrod straight, his posture arrogant, as if saying 'no one should provoke me'.
And in front of him stood Jing Rong.
Jing Rong's arrogance was no less than Zhao Huai's. In fact, it was tinged with a hint of coldness.
It was enough to make one shiver!
One was dressed in fine brocade, the other was dressed in a rough tiger-skin robe.
One was cold and noble, the other rough and wild.
One was tall and slender, the other was burly like a giant.
They clearly formed two extremes!
Between the two of them, there seemed to be a dark fire burning in the surroundings, ready to explode at any time.
Neither Fang Mingsan nor the bailiffs dared to approach them, afraid that they would be in trouble.
When Ji Yunshu came in, she happened to witness this scene.
Fortunately, it was her arrival that broke the stalemate.
When Zhao Huai saw Ji Yunshu, the hostility in his eyes disappeared. His sharp gaze also became docile, completely submissive.
Ji Yunshu looked at his broken arm, thinking that it must have healed.
Fortunately, it was his left arm that was broken. If it was his right arm, he probably wouldn't even be able to hold a knife.
Ji Yunshu stepped forward, "First Master, we have a favor to ask of you this time. Please put aside the previous unpleasantness and don't hide it."
Zhao Huai kept a straight face as he took out the drawing paper and flattened it. With a lazy tone, he said, "This tattoo is called the Moonlight Tattoo, the symbol of the Liu Sect."
Moonlight Tattoo?
Liu Sect?
No one had heard of it!
Zhao Huai continued to explain, "This sect was a large sect in the north. It was orderly and organized, but for some unknown reason, it suddenly disbanded twenty years ago. As for this Moonlight Tattoo, not everyone in the Liu Sect can get it. Only the leaders of the sect can get it."
"Do you know who they were?"
"The Liu Sect had seven masters. The eldest was called Touhu, the second was called Dihu, and the rest had a mess of names. It's been so many years, no one knows if they're dead or alive."
Seven brothers?
Was it a show of the Calabash Brothers?
"Those seven brothers started from scratch and grew the Liu Sect in just half a year. Even the generals at the northern border couldn't do anything about them. It's a pity that they suddenly disbanded."
Zhao Huai sighed.
In his heart, he felt sorry for his Gaoshan Gang.
His words caused everyone in the court to sigh.
If what he said was true, then Li Mingzhou, Old Master Chang, and the other two dead were four of the seven brothers.
But the strange thing was, according to Ji Yunshu's understanding, the three victims did not know each other, and Li Mingzhou also said that he did not know those people.
This was really strange.
