Did he think she was a sow?
Zuo Yao did not dare to waste any more time. He quickly sent for a Fengshui master.
He calculated the days and decided to open the coffin as soon as possible.
They returned to the North Courtyard.
Jing Rong asked Ji Yunshu, "You already knew that Young Master Qiao was afraid of furry animals?"
She nodded and asked him back, "Do you still remember how his legs turned to jelly when he saw those chickens on the street a few days ago?"
"I remember."
"I had Zijin follow him secretly these past few days. As expected, he was very afraid of furry animals."
"But what does this have to do with the case?"
Ji Yunshu's expression turned serious. Her eyes darkened as she said seriously, "Three years ago, Miss Ye 'er was not the only one who died in that room in the Pavilion of Spring."
Ah!
Could it be that two people were killed?
Jing Rong was confused. He frowned and waited for her to continue.
Ji Yunshu said, "At that time, there was also a cat dead in the room."
Cat?
"After a few days of observation, that Young Master Qiao is indeed as timid as a mouse. Not to mention killing people, I'm afraid he wouldn't even dare to cut a fruit with a knife. In addition, he is very afraid of furry animals. But there was a cat that died in that house, and it was strangled to death. If he really is the murderer, then why did he choke a cat to death after killing Miss Ye'er? Or rather, why did he kill a cat before he committed the crime? "
This was a suspicious point.
Jing Rong said, "So, you think he is not the murderer?"
She shook her head, "I can't be sure, but the possibility of him killing someone is very low."
"The truth will be revealed after the coffin is opened."
"Do you trust me that much? What if I missed something? After all, the case was three years ago. Although the case report given by Lord Zuo was very detailed, it was all irrelevant and did not provide much information about the case. "
"Speaking of this Lord Zuo, you have to be careful."
"I know. For the past few days, I've been avoiding discussing the case with him. I've repeatedly refused to accept the cases he's handed to me. I can see that he's very nervous and even a little guilty. He seems to know that I'm purposely tormenting him. Moreover, this time, when the Qiao family suddenly came to the yamen, he must have done a lot of things."
It just so happened that the Qiao family had come looking for her at this time. It was obvious that they wanted to use the name of the first-rank official in their family to give her a wake-up call. They wanted to force her to turn a blind eye to this and just do a muddle-headed investigation.
Who would have thought that she would meet the Prince and the awe-inspiring Teacher Ji?
His wishful thinking naturally did not work.
He could only suffer in silence and leave with his tail between his legs.
What Ji Yunshu could think of, Jing Rong naturally also thought of. Although he did not say it out loud, his heart was as clear as a mirror. He said, "It's not a day or two that commoners collude and officials protect each other. This Prince will deal with that old man Zuo Yao sooner or later. As for the Qiao family, once the case is closed, if they are really related to them, this Prince will punish them."
If it was really Qiao Zihua who killed them, he would crush the Qiao family into dried persimmons!
Ji Yunshu took a deep breath. "I have confidence in this case. You don't have to worry about it. It's time for you to deal with the disaster relief funds."
He suddenly smiled and looked at the woman in front of him with an evil charm. "Are you worried that this Prince can't solve it?"
"I don't understand the cases in the officialdom, so naturally, I can't help you. It's not that I'm worried that you can't solve it, but I'm worried that the case will go wrong and you will also be involved. You should know that in the years since the missing disaster relief funds, the officials who investigated this case have all disappeared and died. I don't believe that it's supernatural. I'm only afraid that it's man-made. Now that you've been ordered to investigate, what if …"
"There's no 'what if'!" Jing Rong denied and held her fair and slender fingers. "Yunshu, this Prince left the capital for you. I will definitely return to the capital with you. Blue Luan and Fire Phoenix, we can't fly together. You don't have to worry about this Prince. You just need to focus on your case."
The corner of her lips curled up slightly as she nodded.
The two of them looked at each other affectionately. Their gazes intertwined with each other, and there was a trace of warmth in their eyes.
At this time, the cat that had run out of the court came over and rubbed its small body against Ji Yunshu's feet.
"Meow ~"
It interrupted the two of them.
Ji Yunshu squatted down and hugged the cat between her arms.
"Little guy, are you going to cause trouble again?"
"Meow ~"
Jing Rong had sent this cat to her a few days ago.
He let her tease it when she was bored to pass the time.
"Is it obedient?" Jing Rong's fatherly love overflowed as he reached out and stroked the cat's head.
It was very gentle.
"It's very obedient."
"Do you like it?"
"I can't bear to part with it." It sounded very sweet coming from her mouth.
Jing Rong was delighted. "Then in two days, this Prince will buy another one to make up for your number."
She hurriedly refused. "Forget it. This small one is enough to cause trouble …"
"But you have to slowly get used to it." Jing Rong's cold thin lips curled up slightly. "In the future, you and I will have many children."
Hearing this, Ji Yunshu lowered her head and smiled faintly. She said, "Not serious."
"How is it not serious? Bearing children is a virtue. According to the teachings of the Holy Teacher, children are born from heaven. If one is not enough, even three is not enough. "
Pfft!
Bring a basin over. She wanted to collect her blood.
Did he think she was a sow?
At this time, Lang Po came over and reported, "Your Highness, this subordinate has found a courtyard according to your instructions. It is very clean and spacious. It has also been cleaned and can be used at any time."
Jing Rong was displeased at being interrupted, but he still pinched his fingers and chose an auspicious day.
"Then … let's do it tomorrow."
"Yes, this subordinate will arrange it first."
"Wait." Jing Rong stopped him again. "Bring the batch of chickens that were sent to the yamen a few days ago. Just leave one or two for Lord Zuo. After all, this Prince is paying for it. We can't let that old man take advantage of it."
You are so stingy!
Lang Po secretly chuckled. He lowered his head and cupped his hands in acknowledgment. "Yes."
He then left.
Ji Yunshu asked him, "Are you moving out?"
"The yamen cannot stay for long."
"That's true."
Jing Rong asked her again, "Do you like these two girls?"
She nodded. "One is obedient, and the other is sensible."
"That's good. When you move out tomorrow, bring the two girls with you. You still need people to take care of you."
Ji Yunshu silently agreed.
Zuo Yao was frightened when he heard that Jing Rong was moving out. He thought that it was his fault for not taking good care of them.
He hurriedly lifted his official robe and asked, "Your Highness, are you not used to living here? Tell me, if there is anything missing, this lowly official will immediately order someone to buy it. "
"No!"
"Then is it because the food is not good? How about this, this lowly official will find the best chef in Yufu. He will definitely make dishes that will satisfy Your Highness. "
"No!"
"Could it be that you did not sleep well? It's this lowly official's fault. This place is close to the main street and is indeed a little noisy. This lowly official will move you to another room. "
