The more Wei Yi ignored him, the more Shi Ziran wanted to tease him.
He crossed his arms and nudged Wei Yi with his elbow.
"Wei Yi, this will be your home soon."
Huh?
Wei Yi looked at him in confusion. "Why?"
"Because after Miss Ji marries my Prince, she will be Princess Rong. This place will naturally be her home. Since Miss Ji has always treated you as her younger brother, her home will naturally be your home. In the future, you should stay here and I will take care of you."
Good brothers!
Princess Rong!
Younger brother!
These words were like a sharp knife stabbing into Wei Yi's chest. He stopped in his tracks.
He stopped in his tracks.
Shi Ziran smiled wickedly, thinking that he had succeeded in teasing him.
Come on, come on, let's hurt each other!
Unexpectedly, Wei Yi was not angry at all. He calmly looked at Ji Yunshu's petite figure and smiled. "As long as she's happy, anything is fine."
Shi Ziran was like a deflated balloon. His hands hung by his side as he sighed.
"How boring."
Then, he took a step forward and leaped onto the snow-covered roof.
The roof tiles were covered in snow. He used his feet to quickly sweep away the snow around him before sitting down. His body leaned lazily on the roof, and a withered grass appeared in his hand, which he held in his mouth.
What a ruffian!
Wei Yi glanced at him. Feeling bored, he walked away.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, the maidservants who used to take care of him ran over.
They had heard that Wei Yi was no longer a fool. Not only that, but he had also become very smart. He even had a photographic memory. They all wanted to find out what was going on.
In a short while, the courtyard was filled with people.
The maidservants each held a piece of paper in their hands and lined up to pass it to him.
"Young Master Wei, I am Yunxiang."
"I am Lianzhu."
"I was here first, I was here first …"
"I was here first."
"I am Xiangcui. My mother said that the character 'Xiang' is composed of three points of water and a letter of faith. Isn't that water? I can write the character for water, but I don't know the other half. Young Master Wei, please teach me. "
He sat in front of the desk and looked at the white paper on the table. It should have been a headache, but he was very patient and would grant every request!
He picked up the pen and wrote down the names of those people on the paper.
But when he finished writing Xiang Cui's "Xiang" character, Xiang Cui took it to have a look.
Something was wrong!
"Young Master Wei, I am Xiang Cui. Is this Xiang? Isn't there supposed to be water? "
This …
Child, your mother has harmed you.
Wei Yi didn't know how to explain, so he only said, "Miss Xiang Cui, this is your name. There's no mistake. Just remember it."
Xiang Cui was suspicious.
My mom wouldn't lie to me!
He continued writing down their names one by one.
Ji Yunshu stood at the entrance of the courtyard, watching the bustling scene inside.
A sharp-eyed young girl spotted her.
"Miss Ji, you?"
She quickly made a shushing gesture, but the girl was very clever. She stopped talking and plunged into the crowd again.
Looking at Wei Yi's cultured and refined appearance, Ji Yunshu's lips gradually curved into a smile.
How good it would be if it could always be like this!
She heaved a sigh of relief. Not wanting to disturb him, she turned and left. Because of the annual sacrifice, both inside and outside the palace became busy. The mausoleum was built on Ji Mountain next to the capital city. It stood against the mountain and had a main hall and a temporary hall for the imperial relatives and ministers who came to the annual sacrifice. Two days before the start of the annual sacrifice, the emperor would bring everyone out of the palace to the mausoleum.
On Mount Ji, they would first pay their respects to Buddha before going to the Imperial Mausoleum for the annual ceremony. This was an annual event.
It was a big event for the Emperor to leave the palace!
As a result, Mount Ji was heavily guarded. Even the commoners who hunted in the vicinity were stopped and "chased away", not allowed to approach.
The Emperor had given full authority over the annual ceremony to the Imperial Clan Temple, so Jing Rong had nothing to do with it. He had been secretly discussing with Lord Qin and Commander Xiao on how to unearth the Imperial Duke's coffin without anyone noticing. During this period of time, Ji Yunshu was an official of the imperial court. After the Emperor ordered the closure of the 'Lin Capital Case', she naturally had to start working hard at the Ministry of War. Ever since she was reinstated as the Disciplinary Supervisor, the Supreme Court's authority had been reduced by a lot. Thus, Ji Yunshu's duties had been increased.
Perhaps it was because it was almost the New Year, but the number of cases handed in from the local authorities was much higher than usual.
The Ministry of Justice's Xiao Yin delivered another stack of cases to her desk.
"Lord Ji, this is the last one." She shook her head, flipped through the pages, and sighed. "These local cases might have been submitted by the complainants a long time ago, but the officials were usually too free, so they ignored them. They waited for the new year to come, thinking that when the time came, the higher-ups would be too busy, and these cases would be suppressed again.
When the time came, these cases would be left unsolved, and the local officials would be saved a lot of trouble. As expected of an official, their calculations are even better than a pawnbroker's. It's really disappointing. No wonder there are more and more unjust cases in the world. "
The Xiao Yin suddenly understood. "So that's how it is. No wonder there are so many local cases handed in at the end of every year. If it wasn't for Lord Ji's explanation today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have understood it."
"You can learn from me in the future."
"It's my honor to learn from Lord Ji in handling cases." The Xiao Yin was as happy as a flower. If he could learn from Ji Yunshu for a few more years, he might even be promoted in the future. Ji Yunshu glanced at him and smiled faintly. She passed him a stack of documents she had tidied up and instructed, "These cases are more serious. Go and look through the files of the previous cases and compare them to see if there are any omissions. If you do, let me know. We may need to reconsider. "
We might need to start the case again. "
"Yes!"
The Xiao Yin went to work diligently.
Ji Yunshu busied herself for two days and finally went through the cases one by one. If there were no problems, she would send them back to their respective prefectures. If there were any problems, she would immediately send officials to investigate them thoroughly before the New Year. If there were any objections, she would return to the capital and report them.
She was extremely efficient. The people in the Ministry of Justice secretly discussed her, saying that she was the only female official in the Great Lin.
Thus, when she was in her office, she patiently explained to the overseers when they came in to ask for advice.
Today, she finally had some free time. She carried the tidied up cases to the Ministry of Justice's archives and sorted them out before placing them on a shelf.
However …
Carelessly, the shelf shook, and the documents on the shelf next to it fell.
Clang, clang, clang …
They all scattered.
The floor was a mess.
She immediately crouched down to clean them up.
However, she accidentally stumbled upon a case of rebellion from fifteen years ago.
