The Savior
Qiao Zheng's arrival was like a ray of light, giving hope to the Qiao family.
After all, he was the former Minister of Personnel. Even if he resigned, a broken ship still had three thousand nails. His position and connections were there, so he naturally had the right to speak.
Qiao Yi quickly said to the servant, "Let's go and welcome Second Master."
"Yes."
Everyone got up and hurriedly rushed to the main gate.
At this time, at the Qiao residence's main gate.
A dark-grey sedan chair stopped there. The person outside opened the curtain, and the person inside stooped and came out again to the door.
Qiao Zheng was wearing an ink-black robe. His two wide sleeves swayed in the wind. There were birds and flowers embroidered on the sleeves. As they swayed, they looked lifelike.
He frowned, and the wrinkles at the corner of his eyes deepened. His bottomless eyes looked at the Qiao family rushing over with anger.
"Second Brother." Qiao Yi's voice was loud as a bell.
In an instant, he was surrounded by the relatives of the Qiao family, all of them wearing respectful and fearful smiles.
They looked somewhat pretentious!
He said solemnly, "Let's go in and talk."
"Okay."
Everyone hurriedly went in, and the gate was closed again.
"Bang!"
Not far away, Ji Yunshu had witnessed the entire scene unfold before her eyes.
Yes, she had guessed it. According to Qiao Zheng's schedule, he should have arrived at this time!
Tang Si was a little confused. Just a moment ago, he said he wanted to go back, but Ji Yunshu stopped here and stared outside the Qiao residence.
No, to be precise, she was waiting for something.
But Tang Si was even more confused.
"Ah Ji, who is that person? Why didn't the Qiao family open the gate when we came, but when he came, they all came out to welcome him. Is he the Emperor? "
"He's my savior!" Ji Yunshu lightly uttered these four words.
"Savior?"
"Yes, the Qiao residence's savior."
Tang Si was even more confused. She stretched her neck and looked in that direction again.
But the person had already gone in, and the gate was closed.
Ji Yunshu's lips curled up slightly, as if she had planned this.
"Let's go, we should go back."
With that, she turned around and left.
Tang Si hurriedly followed.
In the hall of the Qiao family.
Qiao Zheng sat on the main seat. He was still as serious as before, giving off an aura of authority without being angry.
The little girl brought over a pot of tea and was about to place it next to his hand when he suddenly said in a cold and harsh tone.
"No need."
The little girl shivered a little and lowered her head. She had no choice but to quickly take the tea away.
She did not dare to touch that airflow.
The atmosphere in the hall was heavy. No one dared to break the deadlock. They could only stare at Qiao Zheng, waiting for him to say something.
After a while.
Qiao Zheng finally said, "This case was reopened by the Supreme Court. Even I can't help."
Originally, they were counting on him to save their lives, but in the end, they were tossed with such cold words!
Qiao Yi was a little anxious and leaned forward. "Second Brother, Zihua didn't kill anyone. If you don't help him, no one will."
"Big Brother, you've always been smart. Why are you so muddle-headed now?"
"What do you mean?"
Qiao Zheng said, "There's a saying that goes, the truth is hidden. Even if Zihua really didn't kill anyone, you've put all the suspicion on him."
Qiao Zheng seemed to have woken up.
"Then, Second Brother, what should we do now?"
"Don't worry. As long as he didn't kill anyone, I guarantee that no one will be able to arrest him. Moreover, Teacher Ji, who came to investigate this case, has long been famous in the capital. She's good at solving cases and has some outstanding points. She's an extremely smart person. You can rest assured that she will take over this case. She will definitely find out the truth and bring justice to Zihua."
"Second Brother, if you say so, then I can rest assured."
The Qiao family breathed a sigh of relief.
But …
"Just now, you rejected her at the door. You're really muddle-headed. Not to mention that she was sent by the Supreme Court to investigate this case, she's also Prince Rong's favorite. Offending her is equivalent to offending Prince Rong, and offending Prince Rong is equivalent to opposing His Majesty. Even I have to respect that Teacher Ji."
Hearing this, the Qiao family members panicked.
Qiao Xiao suddenly stepped forward and said, "Second Uncle, when I went to the capital to look for you, I already met that Teacher Ji. That person is not to be trifled with. But now, even if we don't provoke him, what if he gets angry and directly accuses Eldest Brother of being the murderer? What should we do then?"
Qiao Zheng pondered for a moment. Inside his lapel, he clenched his fists and looked at the timid Qiao Zihua.
"Come with me right now."
"Second Uncle, where to?"
"To find that Teacher Ji and apologize to him."
For a moment, the Qiao family members were dumbfounded.
… …
An hour later.
Ji Yunshu was in her courtyard, holding a small bamboo stick and playing with the cat.
She was having a lot of fun.
The cheerful kitten jumped up and down, stretching out its short front paws to grab the thin bamboo stick.
"Meow ~"
Every time its paws extended a little, she would pick it up a little higher.
She teased the cat to the point that it was about to go berserk.
"Meow ~"
After a while, a guard came to report, "Teacher Ji, someone from the Qiao family is here and wants to see you."
Ji Yunshu continued to play with the cat as if she didn't hear it.
The guard thought that she didn't hear it, so he repeated it again.
He still didn't get a response, so he could only stand awkwardly at the side.
Watching her play with the cat.
She had already predicted that Qiao Zheng would bring Qiao Zihua over personally, and Zi Jin had even informed her in advance. Logically speaking, when they came to visit, she had no reason to ignore them.
But —
A few hours ago, the Qiao family had given her the cold shoulder. She had to let the Qiao family have a taste of that feeling.
It wouldn't be too late to go over after she was tired of playing with the cat.
Soon, Jing Rong also found out.
Qiao Zheng came?
Coincidentally, he also wanted to find out what was going on with the Ministry of Personnel's memorial to him.
So he allowed him in.
When Qiao Zheng saw Jing Rong, he cupped his hands respectfully.
"This lowly official Qiao Zheng greets Prince Rong. “
Jing Rong coldly narrowed his eyes. "Lord Qiao has just returned from the capital?"
"That's right."
"Then why didn't you rest first? Why did you come to this prince's place?"
Qiao Zheng lowered his head and bowed. "This lowly official came in a hurry because of my nephew, Hua's matter."
He got straight to the point.
Jing Rong's gaze naturally fell on Qiao Zihua, who had his head lowered. He then turned to Qiao Zheng and sneered, "Last time, your eldest brother brought him to the yamen. Today, you've just arrived at Yufu and you've already brought him here. Everyone in your Qiao family is really strange."
The yamen was Magistrate Zuo's territory and he couldn't control it. However, if he wanted to cause trouble here, Jing Rong would skin him alive.
