Chapter 523: Old ginger is spicier
Just as Ji Yunshu's thoughts reached the climax, she heard Tang Si's sarcastic voice.
"You're a grown man. You just went down to the bottom of the well to fish out a corpse. Your whole body stinks. Why don't you go wash up? Why are you still standing here? You're fine, but don't let others smell the stench with you. "
She was too inconsiderate.
Tang Si's disdain for others had not diminished at all.
Lang Po's face darkened and his mouth twitched.
Was I the one who wanted to go down the well?
Was I the one who wanted to fish out a corpse?
Was I the one who wanted to smell so bad?
I feel bad too!
A big, uncouth man was mocked by a little girl.
He was speechless.
Jing Rong had to act like a master when his subordinate was insulted. He glared at Tang Si coldly.
"Miss Tang, did you not kneel enough last night?"
Tang Si exploded at his words. She raised her chin and raised her eyebrows. "What are you trying to say? It's not that I'm afraid of you, I only compromised yesterday because of Ah Ji. "
Ji Yunshu was speechless.
Fine, you really don't need to give me face.
"Ziran." Jing Rong called out to Shi Ziran sternly and instructed, "Throw this wild girl to Mo Ruo. Take care of your own people."
"Yes!"
Shi Ziran replied.
He was not like Lang Po, who was strict with men and cowardly with women. In his eyes, men and women were the same. He would beat them, kill them, and poison them. He would never be soft-hearted.
After receiving the order, he stepped forward and grabbed Tang Si's slender arm.
He pulled her forward.
"Go!"
"Let go."
Shi Ziran looked at her coldly. He was unmoved and continued to drag her away.
Tang Si was a trained martial artist. She spun around and sent a vicious kick in Shi Ziran's direction.
Coincidentally, Shi Ziran's lightness skill allowed him to avoid it.
"Do you think a little girl like me is easy to bully?"
"Little girl?" Shi Ziran looked at her from head to toe and mocked her. "You? Little girl? Unless all the women in this world die, then you can barely be considered a human. Otherwise, even if you burst the sky, you can't be considered a girl. "
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
What a genius!
Sure enough, like master, like subordinate.
The guards present were also amused.
Tang Si met a strong opponent, his eyes were filled with anger, he shouted loudly, "All of you shut up, if you laugh again, I will use my whip to teach you a lesson."
Shi Ziran laughed, "Miss Tang, His Highness and Guard Lang know how to be gentle with women, but I don't. If you continue to make a fuss and disturb Teacher Ji's work, I'll bury you alive."
"How dare you!"
"Give it a try?"
Try your sister!
Tang Si knew that she would not be able to gain the upper hand against this brat.
He widened his eyes and stamped his feet on the ground. At the same time, he swept his hand to the side.
"Clang!"
The bottle that had been fished out of the well fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
After that, Tang Si left with her tail between her legs.
To prevent her from causing any more trouble, Shi Ziran quickly followed her.
It was finally quiet.
Ji Yunshu put down the head in her hand and squatted down to pick up the broken wine bottle that could be evidence. Just as she bent down, Jing Rong pulled her hand.
"Let me."
He took out a handkerchief and picked up the broken pieces one by one, placing them on the table. Ji Yunshu's sharp eyes caught something on the inside of one of the broken pieces.
"Wait."
She shouted.
She picked up the broken piece and carefully removed the thing stuck to the inside of it.
It was a very, very small dark green bead.
There were even some mud and moss on it.
After cleaning it, Ji Yunshu said, "This bead, where have I seen it before?"
Jing Rong frowned, "Seen it before?"
Her eyes darkened as she carefully recalled. Suddenly, her eyes brightened, she had come to a conclusion.
"Yes, I saw it last night when I was competing with Lin Shu. This bead … is one of the beads on the bracelet on his wrist."
"Lin Shu's?"
"That's right, it's this bead. It's exactly the same."
Jing Rong also recalled that when Lin Shu was shirtless outside the Confucian Hall yesterday, he seemed to be wearing a bead bracelet on his wrist.
But …
He also had some doubts, "This is an Eastern Chestnut Bead. Although it is rare, it is not owned by just one person. Perhaps it's a coincidence?"
"Impossible!" She firmly denied this theory, saying, "Eastern Chestnut Beads require a string of 22 beads to be firm and secure. But when I saw the beads on Lin Shu's wrist last night, the beads were loose and could be moved. It was obvious that one or two beads were missing. But I didn't think too much about it. I only glanced at it and it was very likely that it was his."
Jing Rong continued, "Then could it be that … Lin Shu was secretly drinking at the back of the mountain. The bead broke and one of the beads fell into the wine bottle. Then, in order to not let Teacher Yu know, he threw the wine bottle into the well? Or could it be that this wine bottle originally belonged to Guo He? On the day he left, he bumped into Lin Shu at the back of the mountain. The two had a conflict and fought. In the process of fighting, one of the beads fell into the wine bottle. In order to destroy all traces of Guo He's existence, Lin Shu threw the wine bottle along with the corpse into the well? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yunshu was stunned for a moment. Then, she immediately laughed in surprise.
Huh?
What kind of joke is this?
"What are you laughing at? Is what this prince said wrong? "
He stared at this woman in bewilderment. He had to admit that she was really beautiful when she laughed.
Ji Yunshu shook her head, "I didn't say that what you said was wrong. In fact, what you said just now makes a lot of sense."
"It seems that you are testing this prince's intelligence."
"Yes, and no."
Jing Rong curled his lips, "This prince is indeed not good at autopsy and investigation. But when it comes to other things, I am an expert that even you can't find out."
He really wasn't bragging!
When it came to martial arts, he was not an amateur!
When it came to scheming and fighting for the throne, he was a hidden old wolf. It was only because of the fact that they were like brothers that he had shown mercy many times.
When it came to chasing after a wife, there was not much to say.
Ji Yunshu looked at the arrogant prince in front of her, and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.
"Alright, let's talk about this wine bottle first. If the bead really belongs to Lin Shu, then it can only be said that he had come into contact with this wine bottle. Naturally, there are many possibilities. If this wine bottle belongs to him, then he threw it into the well after stealing the wine, then that is the first possibility you mentioned. Therefore, the murderer is not him. But if this wine bottle belongs to Guo He, then it proves that on the day Guo He left, Lin Shu saw him and came into contact with this bottle. The two of them fought, then that is the second possibility you mentioned. The murderer is Lin Shu. However, there is also a third possibility, which is that this wine bottle doesn't belong to anyone. The Eastern Chestnut Bead was accidentally dropped into the well and flowed into the wine bottle."
