Chapter 70: The Twins and the White Lotus
After Jin Ran and the jailer took soap horns and water to wash Ji Lai's hands.
He also announced good news to the people
"Found it, found it, there is a slight wound at the joint pattern of the index finger of the right hand of the head of Lin Prison, like a needle prick, if it is not reminded by the princess, this small wound happens to be in the joint pattern, and it really can't be seen if you don't look carefully."
"Huh? Can a needle puncture wound also be poisoned? Ji Zheng wondered.
Jiang Guantong chuckled when he heard this, "Zheng'er, don't underestimate this wound, the blood around us will circulate, as long as it is infected with a little poison, no matter how small the wound is, it will flow all over the body along the blood."
"Wow, it's terrible, I just don't have any wounds on my hands, otherwise wouldn't I be like Lin Cell's life, and now lying on the ground is my corpse" Ji Zheng touched his chest with palpitations after speaking, and then looked at the corpse of Lin Cellhead lying on the ground, and said indignantly, "Poor Lin Cellhead was killed by Shi Wanqing like this, I must help him avenge"
As he spoke, he got up and gently scraped off some dust from the cell door where several people had touched it, and then carefully put the dust into a bowl and diluted it with water. He drew out another shiny silver needle and inserted it.
Sure enough, as expected, the moment the silver needle came out of the water, it turned black.
Looking at the blackened silver needle, Ji Wei's fist clenched and gurgled, and gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words between his teeth, "Sure enough, it's her, Shi Wanqing, this bad woman"
"But even so, it can't be said that it is Shi Wanqing's poison, after all, I heard what you said, when he first came to visit you, no one saw her except for Lin Cellhead and the two of you, but now that Lin Cellhead is dead, he has lost the only eyewitness, so you still can't rule out suspicion." Ji Fan's voice was still as calm as ever, but he was full of words, and what he said was irrefutable.
After listening to Ji Fan's analysis, Jiang Guantong had already frowned and fell into deep thought, and Ji Zheng was furious. I can't wait to tear Shi Wanqing apart with my own hands.
Ji Fan looked at Jiang Guantong, who was deep in thought. Turning around, he commanded Jin Ran
"Jinran, you go and find out where Shi Wanqing has been recently, and if this king is not wrong just now, he should have come with Hou Manqi, go and check."
"That's right, Shi Wanqing, if she really killed someone, then she must have premeditated planning, I don't believe I can't find any clues" After Jin Ran finished speaking, he looked up at Ji Zheng who was full of anger.
"Don't worry, Zheng'er and Guan Tong, Ji Fan and I will definitely find out the real culprit and save you out."
Guan Tong? Hearing Jin Ran call Jiang Guantong's name like this, Ji Fan's brows furrowed almost inaudibly. When did Jin Ran become so familiar with Jiang Guantong.
Jin Ran on the side didn't notice the change in Ji Fan's mood at all, and then spoke to Lei Yu on the side
"Lei Yu, you go with me, you have a lot of people, it's convenient for us to check"
"Yes," Lei Yu bowed to Jinran.
"What should the two princesses do?" After Lei Yu asked this question, he glanced at Ji Fan on the side.
"What should I do?" Jiang Guantong spoke
"After Shi Wanqing goes out, she will definitely spread the news that we are murder suspects, and we can't bend the law for personal gain just because we are princesses."
"Okay, then the lowly is sending some people to protect the safety of the two highnesses," Lei Yu replied.
"No need," Ji Fan's voice came.
Everyone looked in confusion in the direction from which the voice came.
Feeling the strange gazes around him, Ji Fan continued to open his mouth and added, "This king is here"
Oh, the feeling is to personally go into battle to protect the two highnesses? But that doesn't seem to make sense. Lei Yu wanted to stop it, but he raised his eyes and saw Ji Fan's unequivocal gaze. The thoughts in my heart are also stopped.
"In that case, then trouble Your Highness, Jin Ran and I will go to check the clues over there first."
After Jin Ran and Lei Yu left, only those left in the cell remained. Ji Fan, Ji Zheng, and Jiang Guantong are three.
Looking at his imperial brother's handsome face, Ji Zheng consciously closed his mouth and sat timidly beside Jiang Guantong.
On the other hand, Jiang Guantong frowned and kept thinking about things. Ji Wei looked at Jiang Guantong, and thought to himself that sometimes it's good not to be able to see, at least you don't have to face Ji Fan's cold face.
Ji Fan also walked over and sat beside the two. Seeing Ji Fan sit down, Ji Wei cheekily smiled at Ji Fan twice. Scratching his head, thinking about what to say to break this awkward situation. Guan Tong kept thinking about things on the side, and didn't want to talk at all. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed and he said to Ji Fan, "By the way, Brother Huang, we bought a lot of flowers at the flower market today, and they were placed at the tea stall on Dongzheng Street, do you want to take it with us when you go back at night?" As he spoke, Ji Wei's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look up at Ji Fan.
Before Ji Fan could speak, he would be interrupted by Jiang Guantong, who had just woken up from a dream, "Yes, why did I forget, Dongzheng Street"
Ji Zheng was puzzled, a little unclear, why did Jiang Guantong suddenly say such a sentence?
"What did you say?" Ji Fan also asked.
Jiang Guantong was a little excited, listening to Ji Fan's voice, he grabbed Ji Fan's hand, and said with some anxious eyes
"I mean we are in Dongzheng Street, because we rescued the little girl named Xiaoying and arrested that Wang Qingshan, so we have the following series of things. But that Wang Qingshan's parents actually knew that I was practicing Gu arts, and I was very honest, if it weren't for the fact that someone who knew medical skills or Gu techniques had told them, how could they know that Shi Wanqing was born in a medical family and studied medical skills, wouldn't all of this be strung together? So they must have some kind of connection with Shi Wanqing, in short, this must be a bureau, a bureau set up by Shi Wanqing to frame us, but I'm not sure if anyone is helping her."
Ji Fan looked at his hand that was grabbed by Jiang Guan Tong because of excitement, and then looked at Jiang Guan Tong, who was excited. said as if soothing, "Don't worry, these Jinran will find out, Lei Yu is with him."
"Then if Guan Tong says this, I also think there is something strange, when Shi Wanqing came to frame us for the second time, he came with Hou Manqi, although Hou Manqi was stupid and didn't speak, but after Shi Wanqing framed me today, I think it's definitely not a good person who can mix with Shi Wanqing, maybe she is pretending to be stupid, Hou Manqi must also give me a good check, didn't he play better with Su Li and Zhuang Zhai since he was a child? Why did you come with Wanqing today," Ji Zhengyi said solemnly.
"Yes, as long as you are right, I just wanted to say that Hou, Manqi is, she hasn't spoken since Shi Wanqing came in, and she didn't say a word until the end when Shi Wanqing was about to walk down the steps, it sounded stupid, but she gave Shi Wanqing the steps, so you said that she was silly and stupid, I don't think so, she is actually very smart"
"But she is a hereditary county lord, since the death of her grandfather and the old marquis, now she is alone in their mansion, she has been silly and stupid since she was a child" Ji Zheng spoke.
"That's right, you said that she is the hereditary county lord, and her only grandfather who relies on her now is also dead, so it may not be easy for her to gain a firm foothold among the many families in Pucheng as a woman, so she pretends to be stupid, probably also to restrain her edge," Jiang Guantong analyzed.
"You're right, she's not stupid," Ji Fan began.
"How do you know?" Ji Zheng asked curiously.
Also curious was Jiang Guantong, who turned his head together listening to Ji Fan's voice.
"This king happened to see her in Xiuyuan's section exam questions, although her answers were all wrong, but they were all contrary to the correct answers, just the opposite, just ask, if you don't know the correct answer, who can give so accurate answers are the opposite of the correct answers? That's why I suspected that she was playing stupid."
"She thought that she could make people really believe that he was really stupid by answering all the wrong answers, but in fact, it would be fine if she played randomly, but he had reached the point where the correct answer was contrary, but it was a bit self-defeating, so this has to make people doubtful, that is, since then, I will look at every paragraph exam question she has, and it is the answer result that is just contrary to the correct answer."
looked at Ji Zheng and finished expressionlessly.
Jiang Guantong couldn't help but shudder, and after rubbing his shoulders with a shudder, he said, "Ji Fan, hearing you say this, I suddenly came up with a story."
"How do you say it," Ji Fan asked.
"Since ancient times, those who have become great things must be able to bend and stretch people, she is so impressed and forbearing, which reminds me of the story of Yue Wang Goujian's lying down and tasting courage, I feel that she is the mastermind behind the scenes, maybe Wanqing is played by him between applause, or maybe it is to use each other"
"It's all to blame Brother Huang, when you found out that Hou Manqi deliberately made a mistake, why didn't you expose him? It's good now, it's a big disaster."
Ji Fan looked at Ji Zheng and spoke
"Although I saw the clue, but after all, the fact that she deliberately answered the wrong question is just our unilateral guess, if she says that she said that she deliberately answered the wrong question, what can this king do?"
"But I still can't figure it out, Shi Wanqing framed us because she admired Ji Fan. But Hou Manqi, does it also mean this to Ji Fan? After speaking, he looked in Ji Fan's direction suspiciously.
Hearing this, Ji Zheng glanced at Ji Fan, and then said to Jiang Guantong, "No, then Guan Tong, you will be busy in the future, this is just the beginning of meeting two such strong white lotuses, no, no, not white lotus, they are clearly twins and Tilian, because they have already joined forces to deal with you."
Ji Fan listened to Ji Zheng's words, glanced at Ji Zheng coldly, and then looked at Jiang Guantong.
I saw Jiang Guantong smile softly and then spoke.
"What are you afraid of? Ji Fan doesn't like them again, besides, aren't you connected to me too? Can't we fight Jiang Guantong and Ji Zheng against their two little white flowers? No, no, no, it's not just you and me, it's you, me, Ji Fan and Jinran, and so many of our friends, just with their two little white flowers. You want to bully us, it's too tender."
Then he looked at Ji Fan with a smile, and said with some threat, "What do you say, Ji Fan"
Ji Fan also raised his eyebrows and smiled
"What is said is true"
Ji Zheng "......"
