Before they knew it, the sun had risen.
"That wasn't poison!"
Yun Tongyang was shocked.
"What did you say? It wasn't poison? "
Li Mingzhou slowly raised his head to look at the pale-faced Yun Tongyang. "That was just a bowl of ordinary knockout drug. I didn't poison it. Big Brother, Dan 'er is just a child. You can be ruthless, but I can't."
"You …"
So, the son of the Liu Gang's second-in-command was still alive?
That meant there was no vengeful spirit after all!
"After Dan 'er fainted, I sent him down the mountain to a farmer's family. In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed. Now, he's finally back for revenge. This is what they call' revenge breeds revenge '." Li Mingzhou's voice was low as he brushed his sleeves and patted his thigh. "But if he's still alive, who is he? Where is he? How has he been living all these years? "
Ji Yunshu answered his question.
"All these years, he did not have a good life. Since he was young, he lived in a farmer's home. Not only was his life hard, but the good thing was that the child was very smart and hardworking. He worked hard to learn how to read and read. When he grew up, he became an Elementary Scholar and wrote letters for the poor. He was a virtuous and talented person, gentle and humble. He had a dignified appearance and was indeed a talented person.
Her eyes darkened.
"Although he was only three years old, he saw how his father died with his own eyes. His father's vengeance became a knot in his heart for many years. After searching for many years, he finally found out where his father's murderer was. Coincidentally, he found out that Miss Yu 'in had the intention to scare people with ghosts, so he used this to his advantage. The next day, he snuck into the house of the deceased and drugged him, creating the illusion that the deceased had hanged himself."
"No, no …"
Yun Tongyang was still unwilling to believe it. He slumped weakly on the ground, but his eyes were wide open.
They looked like they were about to explode!
In these short two hours, it could be said that he had been sentenced to death.
He had no chance to refute it.
Ji Yunshu sighed again. "The seeds you planted back then are destined to be reaped."
Everyone just stared at him and pricked up their ears to listen, but they didn't quite understand what he was trying to say.
Fang Mingsan walked down from his seat and pushed aside a few bailiffs to stand beside Ji Yunshu.
He asked softly, "Teacher Ji, is this case closed?"
She narrowed her eyes at Fang Mingsan. "Don't you understand?"
"I know a little, but … who is the murderer?"
"Your Excellency, why don't you take a look and see who is missing in this court?"
Huh?
Who is missing?
Fang Ming looked around the third ring!
Who is missing?
His eyesight was not good, so he could not see very clearly.
Constable Zhang suddenly exclaimed, "Sir, Advisor Wen isn't here."
Fang Mingsan took a few more glances.
"That's true. Where's Lingyang? Wasn't he in the Li Residence before? Could it be that they didn't come back together? Could something have happened to him? Where did he go for no reason? I don't know … "
As he muttered to himself, Fang Mingsan suddenly realized something. His eyes lit up and his pupils widened, even bigger than Yun Tongyang's. His mind buzzed as his lips trembled, "Could it be … could it be … could it be …"
He could not bring himself to say the name 'Wen Lingyang'.
Disbelief!
More than that, he was shocked.
The court was in an uproar!
Some were shocked!
Some were stunned!
Others were discussing in hushed voices.
"What's going on? The murderer is our Advisor Wen? "
"How is that possible? How could Advisor Wen be the murderer? He wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken, how would he dare to use a knife to kill someone? It's impossible, impossible … "
"But Teacher Ji wouldn't spout nonsense. Why would he drag Advisor Wen into this? In my opinion, Advisor Wen is the murderer. "
"Don't spout nonsense. Let's wait and see."
…
Fang Mingsan almost fainted. His hands trembled as he raised them, then lowered them again. After a few repetitions, he finally managed to mutter, "Teacher Ji, this case is a matter of life and death, isn't it? Advisor Wen is a kind man, and everyone in the yamen praises him. How could he … how could he be the murderer? Could there be some kind of misunderstanding? "
I don't believe it, I don't believe it!
But Ji Yunshu's gaze was resolute. He, Wen Lingyang, was the murderer.
At that moment, Shi Zijin, who had been sent away by Ji Yunshu, came in. She stuffed something into Ji Yunshu's hand and whispered something into her ear before retreating silently.
The thing in her hand was icy cold.
She did not look at it, merely rubbing it with her fingertips a few times before tucking it into her sleeve.
…
Half an hour later.
Wen Lingyang's residence.
Wen Lingyang was sitting cross-legged on a table in his room. He was dressed in a light black robe, his hair tied up in a bun and tied with a light purple ribbon. The ribbon draped down his back, reaching the floor.
On the table in front of him was a tall vase.
Inside the tall bottle was a bamboo stick. It was very straight, and its branches were very protruding. Beside it was a pot of freshly brewed tea.
He picked up the handle of the teapot and poured two cups of tea, pushing one of them to the other.
He seemed to be waiting for someone.
The aroma of tea permeated the room made of bamboo, mixing with the scent of the bamboo, filling the nostrils with warmth.
Outside, the morning sun had slowly crept up, casting a hazy light on the floor, the table, his body, and his face.
He lowered his gaze, carefully stirring the tea in front of him. A figure entered through the door, dimming the dim light by half.
Finally, she sat down opposite him.
Ji Yunshu was sitting cross-legged with her back facing the narrow door. The tea in front of her was still filled with white mist, gently caressing her face and eyelashes.
Wen Lingyang was not surprised by her arrival. His thin lips curved slightly as he raised his eyes to meet her gaze.
He smiled warmly, "The sun has risen."
Ji Yunshu replied, "After a night, the sky will naturally be bright."
Both of them spoke with deep meaning.
"It's cold outside. Teacher must be cold after coming all the way from the yamen. Have some tea to warm yourself up." He gestured with his hand.
This man was like a gentle ray of light!
It was extremely comfortable in the eyes of others.
Ji Yunshu did not refuse. She picked up the cup of tea and took a small sip.
"The tea is very fresh."
"It was just plucked."
"Ning 'er tea?"
"Teacher's tongue is quite sharp. Usually, when others drink this tea, they have to guess it several times before they can figure it out."
"That's because Advisor Wen deliberately put a piece of Ning 'er leaf in the cup. That's how I found out."
Sure enough, there was a piece of Ning 'er leaf in the teacup, lush and green.
Wen Lingyang was still smiling warmly.
Ji Yunshu put down the teacup. "Advisor Wen intentionally let me know that this tea is Ning 'er tea. More importantly, he intentionally let me know more."
Her words fell.
Wen Lingyang did not reply immediately. Instead, he picked up the teapot and poured a little more tea into her cup, then looked outside.
The originally hazy and dim light was now slowly turning red, and the air was even lingering with the warmth of the early morning.
He asked calmly, "Why do you say so?"
Why do you say so?
