We are destined to work for the King of Hell.
Jing Rong pulled Ji Yunshu to another table and sat down.
As for the capital governor, he was in an awkward situation.
He was the prefectural magistrate, and the two investigating princes were his ancestors. It seemed like he could just pick a seat and sit down, but in reality, it was not that simple. Although he was on Jing Rong's side, it was a little difficult for him to play the cards on the table.
He might as well —
He sat down at another empty seat.
It was too comfortable.
Village Head Zhang hurriedly ordered people to bring in a few heaters for everyone to warm up and dry their wet clothes and shoes at the same time.
He then brought in a few pots of steaming hot tea and filled everyone's cups.
Jing Yi pushed the teacups aside, a little disgusted.
But Wen Shisan was not so particular. He had been searching for evidence in the temple and felt cold all over, so he should drink some tea to warm himself up.
But just as he was about to drink the tea, before the teacup reached his lips —
Suddenly, something flew out of nowhere and hit his thumb, causing him a sharp pain.
He let go.
The teacup fell to the ground.
"Clang!"
It was smashed to pieces.
Jing Yi asked, "What's wrong?"
He held his thumb and looked around, gritting his teeth and shaking his head, "It's nothing!"
Seeing this, Village Head Zhang poured him another cup of tea.
He raised the teacup again —
"Bang!"
This time, it was the teacup in his hand that smashed. A hole appeared in the cup and hot tea flowed out, scalding him so much that he let go again.
In the end, he sacrificed another cup.
This time, he could not tolerate it anymore.
He angrily asked loudly, "Who was it?"
His voice was loud and clear!
The people in the ancestral hall looked at him, baffled.
No one made a sound.
Jing Yi seemed to sense something. He glanced at Jing Rong, who was drinking tea at the next table, and knew what was going on.
Then, he said to Wen Shisan, "Shisan, sit down."
Although Wen Shisan was unwilling, he still calmed himself down and sat down.
But —
As soon as his butt touched the chair, it collapsed and he fell to the ground with the chair.
He was so angry that his face stiffened. He endured the pain and climbed up.
Just as he was about to question the culprit —
Jing Rong's voice came from the next table, "How could Young Master Wen be so careless? It's fine if you can't hold the cup properly, but how could you fall while sitting on a chair? How interesting. "
His tone was filled with sarcasm and ridicule!
Wen Shisan was no fool. He knew that it was Jing Rong's doing.
He ground his teeth so hard that they creaked!
His face contorted in anger.
He said, "I didn't expect Your Highness to also like to play in the dark."
"Oh? Secretly? Why can't this prince understand what you're saying? "
"You …"
"Shisan, forget it." Jing Yi tried to dissuade him. He gave Jing Rong a sidelong glance. "Why bother with a lowly person?"
Jing Rong chuckled and continued, "That's right. Despicable people will be dealt with by the heavens. Sooner or later, they will suffer retribution. They will laugh for a moment, but cry for the rest of their lives."
"…"
Jing Yi's face darkened, but he managed to restrain himself.
Wen Shisan was infuriated, but the other party was a prince after all. He could only pat the dust off his clothes and snort. He said to Jing Yi, "Your Highness, I'm going out for a breather."
He walked out the door.
Jing Rong did not give up. He pinched a small stone between his fingers, intending to throw it at the back of Wen Shisan's head.
However, Ji Yunshu stopped him in time.
She pulled his hand and shook her head.
Jing Rong obediently kept the stone in his sleeve.
Then, she said, "I'm going out for a while."
Jing Rong nodded.
She got up and went out.
Outside.
Wen Shisan was standing under the eaves, washing his hands.
She walked to his side, looked up at the dark sky, and said, "I didn't expect … that you and I would meet again in the capital."
Her tone was cold.
Wen Shisan's hands froze. He retracted them and looked at the person beside him. "I also didn't expect that in just four years, you would become the famous Teacher Ji in the capital."
His words were full of sarcasm.
"You don't have to beat around the bush. Tell me, what is your purpose?"
She went straight to the point!
Wen Shisan replied, "What purpose could I have? Prince Yi asked me to solve the case, so I came. "
"There's no one else here. You don't have to hide it. I think no one knows better than me what kind of person Zhou San is."
"Zhou San?" He smiled and narrowed his eyes. "I haven't heard this name in more than four years."
Ji Yunshu tilted her body to face him and raised her cold eyes. "Listen, if you dare to play any tricks in this case, I won't let you off."
"Master, what are you talking about? Why would I play any tricks? "
Then —
"Don't call me Master." Ji Yunshu scolded.
"But the truth is, you are my Master! As the saying goes, a teacher for a day, a teacher for life. "
"Shut up!"
Ji Yunshu's temperament could be considered gentle and calm, but facing this person in front of her, she was so angry that her teeth itched.
Wen Shisan looked like a villain intoxicated by success. "Even if you want me to shut up, I still want to say it. If it wasn't for you, Master, there wouldn't be the Wen Shisan today. Master, I really have to thank you."
Disgusting!
Ji Yunshu put on a stern face and said coldly, "Don't blame me for not warning you. If you want to solve a case, you can't just talk on paper. You have to rely on this."
She pointed a finger at her own head.
Intelligence!
Wen Shisan did not seem to mind. "You don't have to tell me this. All these years, I have also solved many cases. The people of Jing 'an gave me three words." He held up three fingers and said word by word, "Living Bodhisattva."
He was blatantly showing off his achievements!
But —
Ji Yunshu gave him a cold smile.
"When you say you have solved many cases, are you referring to the serial extermination case and the White Bone Case in Jiangzhen last year?"
"What are you trying to say?"
"Although I have not been to Jiangzhen, I have investigated these two cases in depth. When you were investigating the case of the extermination, you caused more than ten good people to be sent to prison and beaten to death. As for the White Bone Case, you made an even bigger mistake. In order to lure the murderer out, you killed three innocent people. One was an old man in his fifties, one was a woman who was about to give birth, and the last one was a child who was not even two years old. You are simply deranged and hopeless. Is this what you call solving a case? Sacrificing human lives in exchange for the three words' Living Bodhisattva 'above your head? "
Her voice was loud and clear.
Wen Shisan's face was a mess.
It was as if something was stuck in his throat. He could not say a word.
