Chapter 30: Ji Yanning
"You said you had something important to tell the prince?" Cui Zhixing raised his eyebrows.
The woman nodded, "The little girl does have something important to tell the prince. ”
"Can you reveal a thing or two?" Cui Zhixing asked tentatively.
The woman looked at a few people from the Yamen of the Prefect of Lin'an City and shook her head, "The little woman can't tell me for the time being." ”
"That won't help you. After Cui Zhixing finished speaking, he stopped looking at the woman and looked out of the door coldly. At a young age, he actually mastered the demeanor of rejecting people thousands of miles away.
"And the little ones took this woman away?" asked Joe.
"Tired. Cui Zhixing nodded slightly.
"Don't, don't take me away!" the woman struggled, "I'm the daughter of the prefect of Linjiang City. ”
"Slow!" Cui Zhixing raised his hand to stop Qiao Zhutou and the others, "Who do you say you are?" he asked.
"The little woman is the daughter of the prefect of Linjiang City. ”
"Is there any evidence?"
"What more evidence do you need for this?" Ji Yanning's eyes widened.
Cui Zhixing smiled lightly, "What if you open your mouth to get rid of your crimes?"
"Believe it or not, the little girl is the daughter of the prefect of Linjiang City. ”
"Okay," Cui Zhixing waved his hand, "I see." Then he looked at Qiao Zhutou, "Then this person will stay here for the time being, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will personally dispose of it." ”
"The little one understands. Qiao Zhu bowed his head, "When the little one returns to the mansion, he will tell the prefect the truth about this matter." ”
"There's a bag of silver here," Cui Zhixing said, throwing a money bag to Qiao Zhutou, "You can find someone to carry the deceased home and bury it properly." ”
"The little ones will do it. ”
Waiting for Qiao Zhutou to take someone to deal with the deceased, Cui Zhixing asked someone to take Ji Yanning to see Jiang Xuanjun.
After Cui Zhixing told Jiang Xuanjun about Ji Yanning's identity, Jiang Xuanjun smiled lightly, "It is estimated that we don't have to wait for the news from Linjiang City for the time being, and we can understand something." Then he ordered someone to bring Ji Yanning in.
When Ji Yanning saw Jiang Xuanjun, he knelt on the ground with a "poof" and explained: "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to spare the little girl, the little woman didn't mean to hurt you and that girl." The little woman didn't know what was going on, and after pulling out the dagger, she felt completely out of control. ”
"Out of control?" Jiang Xuanjun looked at Cui Zhixing.
"Commander Xue has already checked the dagger and found nothing abnormal. ”
"No, no, no," Ji Yanning waved his hand again and again, "That dagger is really evil, the little woman picked up the dagger like a demon and was eager to open it to take a look, and that happened." Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is auspicious, otherwise the little woman would not be enough to apologize if she died 10,000 times. "It's not just her, even her family is estimated to have to be slaughtered all over the house.
Jiang Xuanjun asked Cao Yuan to help him change his clothes before she came in, and he simply cleaned up. At this time, he is like a bright moon high above, cold and noble, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see anything sick. That's why Ji Yanning is a lot more relieved.
"Let's not talk about your orphanage, I want to know if you are really Ji Yongcheng's daughter?"
"Yes. Ji Yanning nodded, "The little girl's name is Yanning, and she is the only concubine of the prefect of Linjiang City. Then he choked up and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, please save your father and save our family." ”
"Don't be busy letting Gu save Ji Yongcheng and your family, let's explain the ins and outs of the matter first. ”
"Just a few days ago, my father was assassinated on the street, and in order to catch the assassin, the second brother asked someone to block Linjiang City, but I didn't expect our family to be trapped in the city by those people. Because her eldest brother was not there, her father had to let her quietly go out of the city through the secret passage to seek a chance for the family. At this time, she didn't know that Ji Feng had been caught by Jiang Xuanjun's people, waiting to be sent to the people sent by the Su Sect to investigate.
Maybe it was too excited, maybe it was something to hide, Ji Yanning intermittently said a rough idea. However, Jiang Xuanjun and Cui Zhixing already knew about it, but they just made the events of the day of the assassination more specific.
"Didn't you say that your father was seriously injured and now his life and death are uncertain?" Jiang Xuanjun then asked, "Then why don't you go to find a good doctor, but let Gu help?" Didn't Imperial Doctor Cheng go to see people in the past?
"It's because even if there is a good doctor who saves the life of the little girl's father, he can only save it for a while. ”
Jiang Xuanjun raised his eyebrows, "Why is this?"
"It's because those people have to put the little girl's father to death, even if he is saved this time, there will be a next time. Knowing that the prince might not be willing to help her if she concealed too much, Ji Yanning simply revealed the most important news to him, "Those people want the little girl's father to bear all the charges, and only the dead are the ones who can make those people feel the most at ease." ”
"Who are those people you're talking about?" Jiang Xuanjun asked in surprise even if he had a certain guess.
"It seems to be some kind of army. This Ji Yongcheng didn't tell her in detail.
"What kind of army?" Jiang Xuanjun raised his eyebrows, "It can't be from the Southwest Battalion, right?"
Ji Yanning shook his head, "This little woman really doesn't know. ”
"You don't know how Rang Gu can help you?"
"The little woman has evidence of those people, and the prince should understand after reading it. I also asked the prince to call for someone to arrest those who wanted to harm the little girl's father and our family as soon as possible. Ji Yanning then said, "If it weren't for them, the little girl wouldn't have disguised herself as a man and went out of the city overnight to join her grandfather's family." If this hadn't happened, the little woman wouldn't have begged His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
"Are you alone?" Jiang Xuanjun expressed doubt.
"No," Ji Yanning shook his head, "Originally, there was a maid and a group of guards who followed the little woman, but on the way here, they met the pursuers, and they all died to protect the little woman." That's why she disguised herself as a man and wanted to come here to buy a dagger for self-defense.
"Then you present the evidence for Lone to see. ”
"The evidence is not in the little woman. Afraid that he wouldn't believe it, Ji Yanning hurriedly explained, "It's really not there." The little woman was afraid of danger, so she hid the evidence in one place. ”
"If you're dead, wouldn't that evidence be hidden as if it weren't there?"
"No, the little girl has already sent a letter to her grandfather's family, and if all of our family is killed, they will find evidence and report it to the emperor. ”
Jiang Xuanjun nodded, and said in his heart: It's quite cautious. Then he didn't rush to urge, just quietly waited for Ji Yanning to say it himself.
Half a day later, seeing that he didn't seem to have much interest in the evidence, he didn't urge, knowing that he couldn't exchange the evidence for His Royal Highness the Prince's promise to save her father and her family, thinking that his future life and death were uncertain, and pointing out that his grandfather's family might not be able to avenge their family, Ji Yanning said where the evidence was hidden.
It's just that before he could find evidence, Jiang Xuanjun first received that Ji Yongcheng's family was bloodbathed by a group of people of unknown origin, except for the eldest son of the Ji family and the missing eldest lady outside, no one survived. Among them, there is also Doctor Cheng who went to treat Ji Yongcheng.
