Chapter 431 – Leaving Yuzhou City
The case was finally solved, and the news quickly spread throughout Yuzhou City.
Everyone was relieved that the case was solved, but at the same time, they were shocked.
The murderer was Advisor Wen from the yamen?
This …
Surprising?
The citizens of Yuzhou City began to discuss the case.
The yamen, on the other hand, was silent.
Right now, Yun Tongyang and Li Mingzhou were both locked up in prison. The treasure robbery case from twenty years ago, along with the murder case this time, had been solved.
Logically speaking, it was a case of Dual Qi!
However, Fang Mingsan was not happy at all.
From the moment he found out that Wen Lingyang was the murderer to the moment he died, he was still in a daze.
He sat on the chair, his eyes glazed over.
Not only him, but Constable Zhang was also in a daze. His brother-in-law was gone just like that.
Thinking of this, he slapped his thigh, shaking his head and sighing, "What a sin, what a sin!"
It was indeed a sin!
After a long time, Fang Mingsan propped himself up and waved his wide sleeves, instructing Constable Zhang, "Old Zhang, Lingyang has no relatives or friends. Although he killed someone, the law is still human. Give him a proper burial, and don't forget about the etiquette."
"Even if Milord didn't say so, I would have done it anyway. After all, Lingyang has done a lot for the yamen these past two years. I have always treated him as my brother-in-law, and he has always treated me as his big brother. Leave his funeral to me."
He patted his chest.
Fang Mingsan nodded, then looked at the door.
He muttered, "If only Teacher Ji could stay in Yuzhou City, we wouldn't have to worry about solving cases in the future."
Dream on!
In the backyard of the yamen.
Jing Rong's men had already started packing their belongings, preparing to depart at noon. They wanted to reach the relay station before nightfall.
The case had just been solved, and they wanted to leave without a celebratory feast.
This was in line with Jing Rong's impatient character.
Ji Yunshu stood in the courtyard, looking up at the osmanthus tree in the courtyard.
On the tree, there were only lush green leaves hanging on the branches.
No one knew what she was thinking, even when Shi Zijin called out to her a few times, she did not respond.
"Teacher Ji?"
Shi Zijin reached out and touched Ji Yunshu.
Only then did she return to her senses and tilted her head to look.
Shi Zijin replied, "His Highness said that we can leave."
She nodded and asked, "Where's Auntie Xie?"
"He's already in the carriage."
"Where is Wei Yi?"
"Still in the house."
Just as she finished speaking, Wei Yi hopped out of the room with a bunch of toys in his hands. He clutched them tightly in his arms until they almost reached his head.
Coincidentally, Lang Po came in from outside the courtyard.
As a result —
Wei Yi casually tossed all the things in his hands to him.
"Help me move it to the carriage. Remember, be careful, don't break it."
"Young Master Wei, you …"
"What? Are you not willing to help me? "
"I …"
"Then why aren't you going?"
Lang Po's cheeks twitched.
This isn't the first time. Why do I have to hold your toys for you every time?
He wanted to be stubborn this time and throw the toys on the ground, but in the end, he still helped to move them to the carriage.
Seeing that his darling was safely in the carriage, Wei Yi tugged at Ji Yunshu's sleeve.
"Shu 'er, can we go back to Jinjiang now?"
She nodded.
"Then I can see Ah Mi and the others."
Ji Yunshu was overjoyed.
Ji Yunshu asked, "What were those things you saw just now?"
"Presents. When I left home, I promised Ah Mi and Dabao that I would bring them presents when I return."
So that's why.
Jing Rong came out of the room and narrowed his eyes at Wei Yi. "Why aren't you getting on the carriage?"
"I want to go with Shu 'er." Wei Yi purposely moved closer to Ji Yun, acting like a petty child.
Jing Rong rolled his eyes at him.
Childish!
Mo Ruo also came out of the room, swaying his body.
His hands were always filled with wine and more wine.
He didn't even look in their direction, waving his hand. "Hurry up, I'm going to take a nap in the carriage. Wake me up when we reach the ground."
He stumbled out of the room after he finished speaking.
Soon after, everything was dealt with and everything that needed to be bought.
They set off!
As soon as they left the yamen, Lang Po came up to Jing Rong and whispered in his ear, "Your Highness, the people from Gaoshan Gang are here again."
Jing Rong looked into the distance and saw Zhao Huai and his subordinates on horseback, watching the commotion.
No, they were watching the commotion!
"Keep an eye on them, don't let them get close," he ordered.
"Yes, Your Highness," Lang Po replied.
Fang Mingsan lifted his official robe and stepped forward, bowing. "This case was solved thanks to Your Highness and Teacher Ji. This lowly official thanks you."
He cupped his hands in greeting.
Jing Rong raised his chin slightly. "Alright, Lord Fang. If you encounter such a case in the future, report it to the imperial court as soon as possible and let the Supreme Court send someone over to investigate. Don't force yourself to do it."
"Yes, yes, yes. This lowly official will remember."
"We've delayed our journey by five days. This Prince will not stay any longer. As for Advisor Wen and Yun Tongyang's case, you'd better be quick-witted and tidy up the case files. The sooner we can close it, the sooner we can."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Fang Mingsan acknowledged.
Ji Yunshu pursed her lips and stepped forward. "Lord Fang, please don't be too sad about Advisor Wen's death. He's already passed away, let him leave in peace."
Fang Mingsan nodded. "This official understands Teacher's words, but for Teacher to comfort me instead, it's really …"
How shameful!
"As long as one is alive, one must know the truth. Even if one knows the truth, it's reasonable for Lord Fang to feel sad. This one doesn't know how to comfort others, it's just a reminder."
"This official will remember Teacher's words."
Constable Zhang, who had been standing at the side, scratched his head.
Tuntun stepped forward and said, "Teacher Ji, I didn't expect to see you here after meeting at the inn outside Yuzhou. I hope we can meet again in the future."
Ji Yunshu smiled. "I think we should forget about it, Constable Zhang."
"Why?"
"Because every time this one bumps into you, there's a murder case."
Oh!
That's true.
Constable Zhang smiled awkwardly.
They exchanged greetings for a while.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Jing Rong said, "Alright, Lord Fang, there's no need to send us off. Hurry up and deal with the follow-up of the case. This Prince shall not waste any more time."
As he spoke, he pulled Ji Yunshu into the carriage.
Fang Mingsan and Constable Zhang saw each other off for a few hundred meters. They watched as the carriage headed towards the city gates of Yuzhou City, going further and further away under the noon sun …
Zhao Huai, on the other hand, brought his men and followed behind their carriage.
Neither too fast nor too slow!
When the carriage reached the city gates, it suddenly stopped.
Lang Po's voice could be heard from outside, "Teacher Ji, Madam Li is looking for you."
Ji Yunshu lifted the curtains and looked outside. She saw Yu 'in supporting Madam Li as they stood on the left side of the city gates.
Yu 'in was dressed in a plain brocade dress, and the makeup on her face was much lighter. She looked like a pretty girl from a small family.
Madam Li's originally gentle and kind face seemed to have gained many wrinkles overnight, as if she had aged a lot.
