Chapter 477
Back to Jinjiang?
The yamen runner pointed at Fu Bo. "He's a murderer. We're under orders to bring him to the yamen. Where are you from? How dare you obstruct the yamen? Believe it or not, we'll bring you back to the yamen as well. "
Reprimand!
A fierce expression appeared on his face.
Fu Bo was supported by someone. His skinny body seemed as if it was about to be broken into two halves. He stood in the rain, faintly trembling.
He shook his head, his eyes filled with fear. "Teacher Ji, I didn't kill anyone. I'm innocent …"
"Shut up. The evidence is conclusive, and someone witnessed you burying the corpse. Let's see if you can still cry innocence when we bring you to the yamen's prison. Take him away."
"Wait!" Ji Yunshu stopped him again. "Sir, from your tone, do you intend to force a confession out of me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"This humble one only wants to know where the so-called Buried Corpse Case came from."
"Little scholar, I advise you to mind your own business. This is a yamen matter, and it's none of your business. If you dare to obstruct us again, you'll …"
"Pa!"
Before he could finish, a stone shot out from the hall and hit the arrogant yamen runner in the face.
The force of the stone was so great that the runner staggered back a few steps. He had to be supported by the people behind him to steady himself.
"Head, are you alright?"
"Go away."
The leader of the yamen runners was furious, but he also felt humiliated. He glared at the hall with murderous eyes and roared, "You bunch of reckless fools! How dare you hit yamen runners? Men, arrest them all! "
He was about to draw his saber and rush in.
However, he had only drawn his saber halfway when another stone shot out and hit the hilt of the saber. The force of the stone was enough to force the saber back into the hilt.
Jing Rong stood up and walked out.
Lang Po immediately followed behind him with an umbrella.
Seeing that the newcomer's bearing was extraordinary and that there was a bit of power between his brows, the bailiffs felt apprehensive, but the evil on their faces did not diminish at all. Although each of them took a few steps back, they still questioned him.
"Who … who are you?"
Jing Rong smirked. "Since when did the Jinjiang yamen produce animals like you? The swords and sabers in your hands are not used to kill criminals, but to kill the innocent. You are as savage as mountain bandits. Using the salary of the imperial court to support you is simply unnecessary. "
"You … where did you come from, you blind thing? We are from the yamen. "
As soon as the man finished speaking, Lang Po raised his leg and kicked the man's chest, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. Is my young master someone you can casually speak rudely to? If you weren't a government official, I would've sent you to hell right now. "
"You …"
The bailiffs had suffered a loss and did not dare to act rashly!
Jing Rong glared at him and questioned, "Listen carefully. Answer my questions. Who did this old man kill? Why did you say that he buried the corpses to kill people? "
"He did kill someone."
"Speak clearly!"
The yamen runner pressed on his aching chest and said with difficulty, "Recently, there was a flood and a female corpse was washed out of the forest. Someone saw Fu Bo burying something there a few days ago. Moreover, the deceased was holding onto a long belt. That belt was Fu Bo's belt. Moreover, the deceased was raped before being killed."
Ah!
Shock!
Fu Bo killed someone? Rape before being killed?
Ji Yunshu's eyes widened in shock. She looked at Fu Bo.
Fu Bo's eyes widened and he shook his head vigorously. "No, I didn't kill her. Teacher Ji, you must believe me."
His voice was weathered. Although it sounded strong, it was soft and powerless.
He even coughed after he finished speaking.
Ji Yunshu had been in contact with Fu Bo ever since she started working at the yamen five years ago. As long as there was a murder case, she would definitely come over when the corpse was sent to the memorial hall. Fu Bo was also used to boiling a pot of white vinegar after the corpse was sent over and waiting for her to examine it.
Fu Bo was a kind-hearted person. How could he commit a murder case of rape before being killed?
Ji Yunshu would never believe it!
The yamen runner panted and swallowed his saliva. He looked at them fearfully and said stiffly, "Alright, I've already told you everything. The witness and material evidence are here, so he can't deny it. If you know what's good for you, then don't obstruct the yamen. He's a murderer. If you want to reverse the verdict, then go to the yamen yourself. However, Lord Liu ordered us to bring the criminal over. If anything goes wrong, we will also suffer."
Indeed!
Jing Rong hesitated and looked at Ji Yunshu. "You make the decision."
Ji Yunshu pondered. She walked to Fu Bo and said, "Fu Bo, don't worry. If you didn't kill her, I will definitely clear your name. Go with them to the yamen now. I'll be there shortly."
"Teacher Ji, you must believe me."
"Of course I believe you. But the yamen can't handle a case without proper procedures. You didn't kill anyone, so naturally, you will be fine."
Fu Bo was both frightened and worried.
In the end, he could only nod.
When the yamen runners saw this, they didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly left with Ji Yunshu.
Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu returned to the hall.
Lang Po asked curiously, "This Liu Qingping is so arrogant and powerful. It's only been a few months, but his subordinates seem to have eaten gunpowder. Every one of them is so murderous."
"Something's wrong!" Ji Yunshu pondered. "Lord Liu should know what kind of person Fu Bo is. How could he believe that Fu Bo would kill someone? Even if the witness and material evidence are here, Lord Liu wouldn't let his subordinates rush over to arrest him. Moreover, I don't know any of the yamen runners just now. "
It was too strange.
Jing Rong understood her thoughts. He didn't ask and directly ordered, "All of you, quickly pack up. We're leaving for the city immediately. No delay."
"Yes!" The guards replied.
They all got up and packed up.
Hearing that they were going to the city, Wei Yi was very happy. He tugged at Ji Yunshu's sleeve. "Shu 'er, are we going home?"
"Yes, home."
"Yes!"
He nodded, very happy. However, his smile was much more restrained and not as exaggerated as before.
Before leaving, Ji Yunshu went to the small room next door to retrieve the dried portrait. She rolled it up and brought it with her.
Just as they were about to leave the memorial hall …
Mo Ruo suddenly approached Jing Rong and pointed at the overturned teapot on the ground.
"Let me remind you, that Miss Mu Jin is not a good person."
"I know. I've already secretly sent people back to Anfu. I don't think it's Jing Yi's people."
"What do you mean?"
"Jing Yi wanted to kill me, so why didn't he just use poison? Instead, he used Buddhist Pear Fragrance, and the medicine's effects would only last for a month. "
Mo Ruo nodded. "You're right. But who did you offend this time?" He was puzzled. "Jing Yi wasn't enough to kill you, so now there's another one!"
This …
How would he know?
They hurriedly boarded the carriage and set off for the city.
They only arrived at Jinjiang City when the sky was about to darken.
Finally, they settled down at the Wei Mansion.
Ever since Wei Yi followed Ji Yunshu back to the capital, the Wei Family's steward, Wei Fu, did not dismiss the servants. Almost all of the Wei Mansion's businesses were managed by Wei Fu.
When they saw their young master return, they were so moved that their eyes brimmed with tears.
The servants also began to cry loudly!
Wei Yi smiled and took out the things he brought back from the bottom of the carriage. He distributed them one by one.
Those strange things made everyone go crazy with joy.
