Chapter 44: Suspicions
"Hurry up, hurry up, Miss Ji doesn't have to be so gracious, the lower officials can't afford it, investigating the case is the responsibility of the lower officials, so Miss Ji doesn't have to be like this." Leng Manyan took a step forward and helped Ji Xunxue up from the ground.
Ji Xunxue's eyes were already wet, and she looked pitiful, which couldn't help but make Leng Manyan's heart rise sad and sympathetic.
Ji Shaohua turned his face to the side, he couldn't bear to see his sister look so miserable.
"Third Miss, our Ji family is an official in the court, my father has always been honest and honest, and his sleeves are clean, how can he be corrupt, this case was caused by a person named Zhao Si, and it was because of him that my father was framed and sent to the side." Ji Xunxue wiped away her tears and told Leng Manyan the truth.
"Miss Ji doesn't have to be in a hurry, say slowly, Xia Guan wants to hear all the facts of the case." Leng Manyan comforted Ji Xunxue.
Speaking of this, Ji Xunxue quieted down and suppressed the vibrating emotions in her heart.
Standing in place, gently breathing a sigh of relief, calming down, Ji Xunxue opened her mouth and told Leng Manyan about the case of the year, "That Zhao Si, who was originally the eldest son of a distant cousin of Prime Minister Zhao of Qi Tianguo, was arrested and put in prison by his father because he was overbearing in the city under his father's jurisdiction and bullied men and women. ”
"Prime Minister Zhao? Is that Zhao Tingde? Leng Manyan asked questions.
Ji Xunxue couldn't stop nodding.
This Zhao Tingde, Leng Manyan knows, he is a well-known cautious eye in the court, although he is in the position of prime minister, and he puts on a posture of the prime minister who can support the boat in his belly on weekdays, but in essence, this Zhao Tingde is very resentful.
Leng Manyan's father, Leng Churen, has already learned Zhao Tingde's insidiousness, so over the years, Leng Churen has not dared to offend Zhao Tingde everywhere, for fear of causing a murderous disaster like Ji Ruzhenglong.
Thinking about these clearly, Leng Manyan had a bottom in his heart and asked, "Then back then, under your Ji family hall, millions of taels of silver were dug up, so what's going on?" ”
"This, this...... Our Ji family didn't know that this silver was like a surplus out of thin air, and it was hidden under the hall of our Ji family overnight, so ......"
"What? How could you Ji family not know? Before Ji Xunxue's words fell, Leng Manyan opened his mouth to interrupt him.
These millions of taels of silver are not a small amount, even if they are piled up on flat ground, it is a big pile, how could it appear under the ground of the Ji family overnight, and the Ji family still doesn't know where this silver came from?
Leng Manyan's Divine Broken Mansion is the original Ji family's mansion, the Ji family's hall with millions of taels of silver hidden underground, Leng Manyan has not seen it, how much smaller is that hall, if someone can enter the hall overnight and dig up the silver and hide it underground, the movement will not be small.
Leng Manyan was in trouble.
Even she, a resourceful agent, was deeply puzzled by this strange thing.
"Impossible, this is simply impossible, if someone wants to hollow out the ground overnight and hide the silver in it, it is impossible for the Ji family not to find out, so, this is impossible." Leng Manyan thought about it, and she muttered in a low voice.
"Yes! But the millions of taels of silver really appeared in the underground of the Ji family, how can this be explained? Ji Xunxue also touched her head in confusion and couldn't figure it out.
Or Ji Shaohua, who was standing on the side, inadvertently said something that woke up the two of them, "It's impossible to put it in from above, but if it is transported in from below, then it's really unaware, who can know?" ”
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what do you mean?" Leng Manyan asked.
"Isn't that easy? Dig a tunnel and send it in, don't you say? Ji Shaohua patted his chest and shouted with confidence.
Leng Manyan and Ji Xunxue patted their heads on the spot and shouted in unison, "That's right! How I didn't think of that. ”
"Miss Ji, think about it, was there any ground around your Ji family that was particularly noisy at night?" Leng Manyan hurriedly asked Ji Xunxue.
Ji Xunxue shook her head, at a loss.
After many years, Ji Xunxue has long been unable to remember, and now let her recall, isn't that equivalent to nothing?
"Oh well! Miss Ji still has any useful clues, just think about it, I know more, it will be helpful to investigate the case. Leng Manyan couldn't help but feel disappointed in her heart, but in order to find more clues, she continued to ask Ji Xunxue.
"Well! It seems that the night before the crime, the dog in our backyard was very noisy, and the dog died mysteriously the next day, and I don't know anything other than that. After Ji Xunxue said this, she closed her mouth impatiently.
Leng Manyan nodded.
It's not a useful clue, but it's better than nothing! Standing in place and thinking about it for a long time, I really felt that this case was quite suspicious, but I couldn't find any clue about Leng Manyan, so I had to give up.
In the end, Leng Manyan looked at Ji Xunxue and came to a conclusion, "That means that your Ji family can't find evidence that can prove that Prime Minister Zhao harmed your Ji family, right?" ”
"Hmmm! But I believe that the big bad guy did it, Third Miss, you must help our Ji family get justice. Ji Xunxue shouted.
Leng Manyan scratched his head.
Even if there is no evidence to prove that Prime Minister Zhao did something, and there is no evidence of why there are millions of taels of silver in the Ji family's hall, the corruption case of the Ji family has suddenly entered a dead end, and there is no way to investigate it if you want to.
Now, Leng Manyan can only pin his hopes on Ji Shaohua's speculation, hoping to find a secret passage around Ji's house.
After talking with Ji Xunxue for a while, Leng Manyan left the cold palace with Ji Shaohua.
As soon as the two of them came out of the cold palace, they met Long Xiaoshui outside the cold palace, and seeing Long Xiaoshui standing there, it was obvious that he had been waiting for the two of them outside the cold palace for a long time.
"Yo! Isn't this the prince of Lin? Why is the prince waiting for us here? Ji Shaohua enthusiastically came up and talked and laughed with Long Xiaoshui.
"Yes! I'm waiting here for Mistress Shenju, wondering what she's found, yo! Prince Ji, this is a beautiful blessing! Where did you find such a beautiful woman to accompany you? Let this prince be so envious! Long Xiaoshui glanced at Leng Manyan who followed behind Ji Shaohua, and he opened his mouth to praise Leng Manyan.
Leng Manyan held back a smile, stepped forward, and greeted Long Xiaoshui, "Xiaguan Leng Manyan, I have seen Lord Lin, Lord Lin is auspicious." ”
"You...... Are you cold? You ......" Long Xiaoshui was almost stupid, staring at Leng Manyan with wide eyes.
"It's Xia Guan, what's the matter, didn't Lord Lin still see Xia Guan's body? Don't you have any impression of Xia Guan now? Leng Manyan opened his mouth and teased Long Xiaoshui.
Long Xiaoshui only reacted at this time.
Covering his mouth and coughing twice, Long Xiaoshui endured the embarrassment and turned his head to the side, so he asked left and right, "How did you become like this overnight?" What the hell is going on with you? ”
"Yes! Third Miss, Prince Ben also wants to know, what the hell is going on with you? Ji Shaohua also drank with him.
"Oh! This may be the immortal who appeared last night and took off the yin and yang marks on my face for me! When I woke up, the marks on my face were gone, and I didn't know what was going on. "Leng Manyan's words, anyone can hear it, it is definitely a lie.
But even if Leng Manyan didn't want to say it, the two of them couldn't force Leng Manyan to say it.
Long Xiaoshui looked at Leng Manyan's beautiful face, the whole person was deeply immersed in Leng Manyan's beauty, unable to extricate himself, at this moment, Long Xiaoshui actually had an idea in his heart.
"If the god doesn't want to say, then the king is not reluctant, then the god just went in, but what did he ask! You might as well tell this king to listen to it, and this king can also help God to judge the case, right? Long Xiaoshui deliberately had nothing to say to Leng Manyan.
"Lord Wang really wants to know?" Leng Manyan did not refuse, and asked mockingly.
"Of course, could it be that this king deliberately came to you?" The dragon smiled and scolded.
Leng Manyan pursed the corners of his lips and turned his gaze to Ji Shaohua, "If the prince really wants to know, then you might as well ask Prince Ji!" He'll sue you, as for the next official! I'm sorry, I'm not free, and when I'm free, I'll talk to the prince in detail. ”
"You ......" Long Xiaoshui was dumbfounded by Leng Man's words.
"Haha......" Leng Manyan looked up and smiled, and turned to leave.
Leng Manyan left, Ji Shaohua also reached out and patted Long Xiaoshui's shoulder, shook his head at Long Xiaoshui, saying that he didn't know anything, and after that, the two of them were one after the other, under Long Xiaoshui's angry gaze, swaggering towards the outside of the palace.
Long Xiaoshui stood in place, angrily folding the folding fan in his hand into two sections.
"What a god, isn't it just a woman? What's the spirit, look at this king is going to kill you tonight......" Long Xiaoshui said, the corners of her mouth hooked up with a cold sneer.
Leng Manyan didn't know that he was about to cause death.
Outside the palace, Leng Manyan said goodbye to Ji Shaohua, "Prince Ji, then the lower official will say goodbye to His Royal Highness the Prince, if Prince Ji is free, you can go to my Divine Broken Mansion seat, and the lower official will be a good tea waiter." ”
"The third miss is polite, please leave the case of the Ji family to the third miss, and the matter of Miss Ji ......"
"Don't worry, I won't say anything to the emperor, at least until the case is clear, I will definitely not say anything more to the emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry." Before Ji Shaohua finished speaking, Leng Manyan opened his mouth to block it.
There is no doubt that Ji Shaohua's worries are unnecessary.
Leng Manyan gave Ji Shaohua a reassuring pill, and after that, she went back to the Shenduan Mansion.
