Chapter 24: The Mystery of the Ji Family

"Okay then! Let's go to Jifu first! If it works, I'll just settle the Divine Judgment Mansion there, so I don't need to bother you to find it. Thinking of this, Leng Manyan immediately reached out and patted Zhou Hao's shoulder and said affirmatively.

Zhou Hao nodded hurriedly, and after ordering the subordinates behind him to let them continue to make official uniforms for Leng Manyan, he took Leng Manyan and Long Xiaofeng out of the palace and headed towards Ji's mansion.

Ji Mansion is located in a not prosperous intersection three streets away from the prince's mansion.

When Leng Manyan and the three of them came to the gate of the Ji Mansion, the originally generous Ji Mansion was now dilapidated, the gate was covered with dust, and there were cobwebs hanging everywhere in the corners of the door, giving people the feeling that this place had been abandoned for a long time and had long been uninhabited.

"This ...... This is what you call Himefu? Leng Manyan couldn't help but speak.

"Yes! This is Jifu! Since the Ji family has all been distributed to the side reins, this place has been empty, so no one cleans it, so it naturally looks dirty, as long as it is cleaned, it is still quite good. Zhou Hao responded, stepped forward, took out the key to the big lock of the Ji Mansion from his sleeve, and opened the door of the Ji Mansion.

As soon as the door of the mansion opened, a cloud of dust rushed to their faces, making Leng Manyan and Long Xiaofeng unconsciously take a few steps back.

After the dust settled, the two followed Zhou Hao in.

The three of them took a turn inside, Leng Manyan found that the Ji Mansion is indeed very large, the whole house is divided into three courtyards, the front, the middle and the back, there is a big courtyard in front of the front yard, the courtyard is also full of flowers and plants, giving people a comfortable feeling when they enter the door, and the middle courtyard has a rockery, garden, study, etc., which is usually the place where Ji Ruzhenglong works, and the backyard is naturally the living residence of all the people of the Ji family.

On the whole, Leng Manyan is still quite satisfied with the structure of this Ji Mansion.

"It's okay, it's set in this Ji Mansion! It's none of your business, you go back! I'll find someone to clean it, and when the official uniform is ready, you can send someone to my god's mansion, and you won't have to go on another trip. After turning around, Leng Manyan opened his mouth to send Zhou Hao away.

Zhou Hao was walking and laughing, not leaving.

Long Xiaofeng glanced at him disdainfully, took out a few pieces of silver from his sleeve and handed it to him, "Okay, thank you Zhou for leading the way, this is your reward, you go back on an errand!" If we hand over the things as soon as possible, we will take office as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, yes, no problem, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince opens Chrysostom, the lower officials must do it properly." Zhou Hao took the silver bounty and immediately patted his chest to reassure the two.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Hao pinched the reward silver in his hand, and left with a fart.

Leng Manyan looked at Zhou Hao's big ass full of fat, and really wanted to rush up and kick his feet, but because he was an official in the same dynasty, Zhou Hao was good at managing the officials, and Leng Manyan finally held back his breath.

"Bear with me! This is the rule of the officials, if you don't give a reward, they won't be sincere in doing things for you. Long Xiaofeng looked at Leng Manyan's angry face, and he was happy.

Leng Manyan breathed a long sigh of relief, put aside the depression in his heart, and asked Long Xiaofeng about the Ji family instead, "Let me ask you, is this Ji Ruzhenglong upright, definitely a good official among good officials?" ”

"Uh...... What you said is right, he can indeed be regarded as a good official, but in his corruption case, the evidence is conclusive, and he can't help but quibble, and the prince can't see that he will be such a benevolent and moral on the surface, but behind it is a corrupt and depressed minister. When Long Xiaofeng mentioned Ji Ruzhenglong, his tone was solemnly filled with a sense of justice and anger towards Ji Ruru.

But Leng Manyan didn't realize this, "Do you also believe that Ji Ruzhenglong will be corrupt and depressed?" ”

"How not to believe? This is conclusive evidence, can it be false? Long Xiaofeng asked in a daze.

Leng Manyan shook his head.

Although she is still not sure whether Ji Ruzhenglong is really corrupt and depressed, Leng Manyan believes in her instincts in her bones, because, no matter which dynasty, all good officials who are upright will always be framed by those corrupt officials, so not necessarily, this Ji Ruzhenglong is such an unlucky bastard?

Who can say for sure?

"By the way, has the entire Ji family been assigned to the side reins? Is there anyone left in Qidu? I'd like to look into this matter and find out. After looking down and thinking for a while, Leng Manyan opened his mouth and asked Long Xiaofeng.

Long Xiaofeng was sullen for a while, and he said in a low voice, "There is another one, she is the eldest daughter of Ji Ruzhenglong, named Ji Xunxue, who has been under house arrest in the cold palace of the palace and has not seen the light of day for many years. ”

"Alas! This is strange, obviously the whole family has been given side reins, but only one daughter is left under house arrest in the palace, which doesn't make sense! No, this thing is getting weirder and weirder, it seems, it's a mystery! Leng Manyan muttered to himself, full of questions.

It's not just Leng Manyan, whoever hears this will feel strange, right?

The whole family was given side reins, but the eldest daughter was left under house arrest in the palace, which fundamentally doesn't make sense! Agent Leng Manyan's reasoning ability is not ordinary, she can naturally think that there are many doubts about this matter, and she can't help but care about it, a goddess.

"Unless, this Ji Xunxue is particularly important to Qi Tianguo or to the royal family, otherwise, he will not just be placed under house arrest, you are going to tell me, what is the identity of this Ji Xunxue?" Leng Manyan muttered for a while, and she suddenly thought of such a possibility. ”

Long Xiaofeng secretly exclaimed in his heart, Leng Manyan's reasoning ability was too strong.

Covering his mouth and coughing twice, Long Xiaofeng explained in a low voice to Leng Manyan, "Even if you are a goddess, then it doesn't matter if I say it, this Ji Xunxue is actually not Ji Ruzhenglong's own birth, but Ji Ruzhenglong brought back from the Purple Confusion Country back then, and she is the princess of the Purple Confusion Country." ”

"What...... What, how is this possible? She is a princess, how can she be picked up by Ji Ruzhenglong? The more Leng Manyan listened, the more confused he became, and he asked in surprise.

Long Xiaofeng turned his head to look around, and saw that there were no ears around, so he stepped forward to close the dusty gate of Ji Mansion, and whispered in Leng Manyan's ear, "If you want to talk about this, you have to start with the war back then, when the Purple Confusion Kingdom was weakly defeated, in order to show goodwill to Qi Tianguo to protect the peace of the country, the emperor of the Purple Confusion Kingdom married his daughter to Qi Tianguo. ”

"Oh! So Ji Ruzhenglong became a messenger, and of course the newborn Ji Xunxue hugged him back, am I right? Leng Manyan's accurate reasoning took the conversation over.

"That's right, but there is a huge secret hidden in her body, at that time, in order to keep quiet, my father did not make this matter public, and let Ji Ruzhenglong secretly adopt her, and named her Ji Xunxue, now you know why she was imprisoned in the palace, right?" Long Xiaofeng patiently explained to Leng Manyan.

After Leng Manyan understood all these things, her brows furrowed even deeper.

Long Xiaofeng said in his mouth that Ji Xunxue has a huge secret hidden in his body, so what is this secret? For a while, Leng Manyan became extremely interested in this so-called secret.

"What you said is a huge secret hidden in her, what is this secret?" Leng Manyan finally didn't hold back and asked the question in his heart.

Long Xiaofeng waved his hand speechlessly, indicating that he didn't know.

Leng Manyan twitched the corners of her mouth depressedly, didn't Long Xiaofeng clearly show that he was hanging her taste?

"You said it but didn't say it, in my opinion! I still don't ask you, I'll go directly to the palace and ask Ji Xunxue if it's more reliable. Leng Manyan laughed lightly.

"My father has issued a grounding order, except for him, no one can go to see Ji Xunxue alone, do you think you may see her?" Long Xiaofeng turned his head to the side and poured a basin of cold water on Leng Manyan.

Leng Manyan stretched out his hand and pointed at himself, "Don't forget, I am now the goddess of yin and yang given by the emperor, there is nothing I can't investigate, as long as it is related to the case, I am qualified to investigate, this is the emperor's golden mouth." ”

"Then you can try, I won't stop you, you go! I'm going back to the Prince's Mansion now to mobilize some people to come over, clean up the Ji Mansion, and then make a gold-lettered signboard for the Divine Mansion to hang up. "Long Xiaofeng is happy.

After dropping such a sentence with Leng Manyan, he turned around and left and went back to the Prince's Mansion.

Leng Manyan stood alone in place, looked at the slightly dilapidated Ji Mansion, and was in a good mood, she didn't expect that she had only come to this different world not long ago, and she would be able to have a good opportunity to show her strengths.

Two days later, Leng Manyan was awarded the title of Yin and Yang Goddess, and the news of being given the mansion quickly spread among the Qi capital.

As soon as this news spread, it shocked the entire Qi Heavenly Kingdom, and no one could have imagined that the well-known Third Miss of the Qi Heavenly Kingdom's National Teacher Family is now a step into the sky, and she is not only appreciated by the emperor, but also the first divine female official in the history of the Qi Heavenly Kingdom, and the reputation of Leng Manyan is becoming more and more popular among the Qi Heavenly Kingdom.

Of course, there are good things, and naturally there are bad things.

Leng Youjun and Long Qiuting, from then on, regarded Leng Manyan as a thorn in their eyes, and they couldn't wait to break Leng Manyan's corpse into thousands of pieces, looking for opportunities all the time to attack Leng Manyan.

Leng Manyan smiled at this, but I don't know, it is not too late for the so-called gentleman to take revenge for ten years, although Leng Manyan is not a gentleman, but with her ability, Leng Youjun and Long Qiuting can't turn over if they want to, it is simply a joke in a joke, not worth mentioning.
