Chapter 55: Merriam-Webster's Imprisonment
After sending the doctor away, Wei didn't have to pretend in front of Ji Yanning.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and said to Ji Yanning, "It's you! You asked the old lady to come over!"
Ji Yanning still chuckled: "I don't understand what the second aunt said, what does the dispute between you and your grandmother have to do with me, I'm just here to see the excitement." ”
"Hmph, it's time to go back to your West Garden!" Webster had little patience with her.
Ji Yanning's eyes were crooked, and he said: "In order to share the burden for the second aunt, I specially invited two doctors to treat my grandmother. ”
Webster glared at her angrily: "It's not your turn to take care of it here!"
"It's true that it's not my turn to take care of the affairs of the second room, but the affairs of my grandmother can't be decided by the second aunt alone. Ji Yanning's expression was grim, and he turned his head to the door of the courtyard behind him and said, "Third aunt, you said yes, right?"
Wei was stunned, looked at the gate of the courtyard, and saw Li coming in from the door.
Li had actually been there for a while, and she had heard that the old lady had a conflict with Webster, and she was not lightly injured, so she hurried over, and did not want to listen to their conversation a lot.
This Wei and Ji Yanning are not easy to mess with, they have planted a lot of heels in their hands, naturally they don't want Baba to come forward again, the gods are fighting, she just watched from the sidelines, but she didn't expect Ji Yanning to know that she was coming.
Li Shi said curtly: "The old lady is an elder, and if something happens, we always have to come over and take a look." ”
Wei snorted coldly, I don't see them so enthusiastic on weekdays, but now that something happens, they run over one by one to fan the flames, I don't know what An's heart is!
She said, "The old lady has already rested, so it is inconvenient to disturb her. ”
While they were talking, Zi Su and Ji Jiu had already rushed to the courtyard of the second room with the two doctors.
Zi Su stepped forward to salute Ji Yanning: "Miss, the doctor has been invited over." ”
Ji Yanning bowed his head and said to the two doctors: "I'm tired of the two of you to see my grandmother's injury." ”
She was about to enter the door with the doctor, but was directly stopped by Webster.
"I've asked the doctor to show the old lady, and the old lady is fine. Webster said with a cold face.
Ji Yanning had a straight face, and suddenly raised his voice: "If grandmother is fine, why does the second aunt keep blocking it?" Could it be that we are afraid that we will find out that you want to kill your grandmother!"
When Webster heard her say this, he trembled with anger: "Presumptuous! How could I do such a thing!"
Ji Yanning said: "Do you think you can hide it? Grandmother found out about your killing of my parents and came to question you, you hurriedly started a move with your grandmother, do you want to kill your mouth! Otherwise, why do you have a weak heart and dare not let us go to see your grandmother!"
As soon as Ji Yanning's words fell, the people in the entire courtyard fell silent.
What did they hear?
Killing brothers, sisters-in-law, and mothers-in-law......
The crowd looked at Webster's gaze and turned strange.
When the two doctors who had just arrived heard this, they were also shocked in their hearts, and they looked at each other, but they didn't dare to make a sound.
Wei never thought that he would be forced into such a situation by Ji Yanning, and the hand hidden under his sleeve was clenched, but he was trying to calm himself down in his heart.
It's just Ji Yanning's agitation method, she will do this without evidence, let herself show her feet, how can she do what she wants!
She took a deep breath and said, "You say that I murdered your parents, what evidence is there? ”
Ji Yanning said: "Since you deny it, we will let the doctor treat my grandmother, and you can't stop it." ”
As she spoke, she stepped forward, knocked Webster away with her shoulder, and led someone into the room.
Webster suppressed the anger in his eyes and turned to follow her.
The two doctors stepped forward with interest.
The maid in the room, who was taking care of the old lady, saw Ji Yanning and a group of them walking in, and suddenly knelt down towards Ji Yanning.
She cried emotionally and said, "The eldest lady saves the old lady! The second lady wants to kill the old lady!"
Wei, who was originally in a calm mood, listened to the girl's words, and finally couldn't help but roar: "What are you talking about!"
Because she was the maid next to the old lady, Wei didn't suspect her at first, but just asked her to stay and take care of the old lady and not talk nonsense, but she didn't expect that as soon as Ji Yanning came, she turned around!
The maid tugged at Ji Yanning's dress with tears in her eyes, and said, "Miss, it was the second lady who pushed down the old lady! She wanted to hurt the old lady, and the maids in the yard saw it!"
Wei's heart burned with rage: "Come on, shout what you look like, pull her down!"
The maids around Wei were about to step forward, but suddenly met Ji Yanning's cold gaze, and they froze in place, not daring to move any more.
"Someone, go to the yamen and ask the official to send over. Ji Yanning said indifferently, his eyes were so cold that there was no trace of emotion.
Ji Jiu bowed his head, answered yes, and was about to walk to the door.
How could Wei not understand at this time, Ji Yanning clearly wanted to put her to death!
Also, the revenge of killing his father and mother, it is not Ji Yanning who can endure it.
Her eyes sank, and she pulled out a hairpin from her head and stabbed it directly in the direction of Ji Yanning's neck!
Even if she died, she would pull Ji Yanning on her back!
"Miss!"
The crowd exclaimed.
Ji Jiu immediately stepped forward, blocked in front of Ji Yanning, grabbed Wei's wrist, and kicked her knee with his foot, forcing her to kneel.
Ziyu was frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to see if the eldest lady was injured.
Li didn't expect that Wei wanted to kill Ji Yanning in front of everyone, this was forced to a corner, right?
She turned her head to look at Ji Yanning, who had an indifferent face, and a sense of fear inexplicably arose in her heart.
Ji Jiu escorted Wei to the Yamen.
Only then did Ji Yanning ask the two doctors to come forward to treat the old lady.
At this time, the old lady's injury has been treated, and the two doctors just looked at it again, although the old lady hurt her head, but fortunately, she has no worries about her life, so she can only live and raise.
Ji Yanning handed over the power of the Ji Mansion to the Li family and asked her to deal with the rest of the matter.
Where did the Li family dare to have other thoughts at this time, what kind of good end could Ji Yanning fall into as an enemy?
Just look at the old lady and the people in the second room.
It didn't take long for the matter in the Ji Mansion to spread all over Jiangzhou City, and the second wife of the Ji family did not hesitate to kill her brother and sister-in-law, even her mother-in-law and niece in order to win money.
It's heartbreaking.
Many people pity Ji Yanning's sister and brother, who were calculated by their aunt to look like this, if it weren't for their good luck, they would have been ruined long ago.
And what Ji Yanning cares about is nothing more than this Ji family, and they have finally settled down.
The efficiency of the government's trial was quite fast, and it didn't take long for Webster to confess.
In the study, Steward Wu was returning Wei's matter to Ji Yanning.
Ji Yanning bowed his head and said: "This matter is handed over to Lord Cen to deal with, Wei Shi has done a lot of evil, and Lord Cen will definitely not show favoritism." ”
Steward Wu replied, but he couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart.
I didn't expect that the old lady did her best for this family, but in the end she was calculated by her family and died, how can it not be regretted?
"How does the second master explain over there?" asked Steward Wu.
There was no wave in Ji Yanning's eyes: "Why do you need to explain to him? just tell him about it, if he is interested, he just needs to be honest, how dare he explain?"
Wei murdered Ji Tingsheng and his wife, although Ji Yuansheng didn't know it, Wei was his wife, and he had to bear these things anyway.
"And Qin Jue's side, I have already asked him what he means, and he is reluctant to go to Chang'an. Steward Wu said.
After Qin Jue arrived in Baochang Ji, he was quite satisfied with Steward Wu.
Ji Yanning pondered for a moment before he said, "That's it, since he doesn't want to go back, I won't force it." ”
When she went to Chang'an, she needed someone around her who was familiar with the various families in Chang'an, Qin Jue was originally the son of the family, so it was naturally a good choice, but his family declined, and he was afraid that he would fall into disputes again when he went back again.
Steward Wu said, "Who will the young lady go with?"
Ji Yanning shook his head: "No need, Chang'an has people from our Baochang Ji, so there is no need to bring other people." ”
Steward Wu: "There is one more thing to report to the eldest lady." ”
Ji Yanning: "What's the matter?"
"Three hundred taels of gold were stolen from the treasure house of Bao Cheong Kee, and one hundred taels of gold were stolen every night for three consecutive nights. ”
Steward Wu's expression was solemn, this thief was really rampant.
Ji Yanning looked up in surprise: "Has something like this happened before?"
Steward Wu shook his head: "Few people know about our treasury, and there are many guards guarding it, so it is not easy to get in, let alone steal." ”
Ji Yanning asked, "Have you reported to the official?"
Steward Wu nodded: "However, from the record of the Jiangzhou government, it seems that only our Baochang Ji has such a case, and other families or merchants have not been stolen." ”
Ji Yanning frowned slightly.
Steward Wu continued: "So the government speculates that it may be an internal thief or a new thief who has fled from other places, judging from the style of theft, it looks like a plum blossom thief who committed a crime in the direction of the East China Sea before. ”
Ji Yanning was puzzled: "Plum blossom thief?"
"The plum thief is just someone else's name for him, after all, no one knows who the thief's name is, this person is different from other thieves, he steals, he will steal from the same victim's house several times in a row, and he is not afraid that others will catch him. Steward Wu said, "If it is really the plum blossom thief, we are afraid that Baochang Ji will be remembered." ”
Ji Yanning asked, "If that's the case, then he may continue to go to the warehouse to steal?"
Steward Wu said: "When I found out yesterday, I had already strengthened my vigilance at night, but I was still exploited, and I couldn't catch anyone at all." ”
Ji Yanning pondered, and just said, "I know, I'll go and see tonight." ”
