The three of them quickly searched the entire mansion and found a total of more than a dozen corpses, all of whom were poisoned to death by the rich man's family, as well as all the maidservants.

"Damn, who is this, so vicious!" Ji Chengchen smashed the door panel of the mourning hall with a fist, and Ji Qingran said heavily, "Killing people and killing people, the people who know the truth are all gone, and now if you want to overturn the case, it is really difficult to climb to the sky." ”

Chu Ge asked, "Will there be any fish that slip through the net?"

Ji Qingran shook his head, "I don't know, it's not clear how many people are in the little rich family, maybe there are really people who go out to do errands and survive the disaster, but it's just ......"

Before he finished speaking, the door suddenly slammed open, and a young man dressed as a mourning father came in with a group of officials, pointing at them and shouting, "They are the ones who killed our family!"

After speaking, he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, "Dad, mother, big brother, you died so miserably!"

The official who took the lead was upright, and quickly surrounded the three of them, and some of the remaining people quickly entered the house to check, and after a while, they came out to report, "The old and young of the family, all killed, nineteen corpses together!"

After hearing this, the official who took the lead tightened his face, looked at Ji Qingran, bowed respectfully, and asked, "Excuse me, His Royal Highness the Dye King, why are you here at this time?"

Ji Qingran replied calmly, "This king came to ask about something, but I didn't expect to see this family, and it was miserable, and before I had time to leave in a hurry, you came." ”

"But according to eyewitnesses, you killed the family. "This is the only survivor of the victim's family, he is the youngest son of the family, and he just went to the yamen to report that three people broke into his house and killed his family!"

The young man who was crying raised his face and glared at Ji Qingran with a sad expression, "Why are you doing this? My father has just passed away, and my eldest brother is already heartbroken when he organizes his father's funeral, why do you want to exterminate our family, even such a young child?"

"We didn't, which eye did you see us kill your family?" Ji Chengchen asked back, the young man gritted his teeth and said, "I saw it with my own eyes! Half an hour ago, the eldest brother asked me to go out to buy paper money, when I came back, I saw you break down the door with my own eyes, I felt wrong at that time, my father had just been killed, I was afraid that my family would be hurt again, so I went to the government as soon as possible and brought the official messenger over, and now, the eldest brother's family is all dead, you haven't had time to leave in a hurry, is this me framing you?"

"We broke in, but by the time we came in, they were already dead. Ji Chengchen defended with him, but was stopped by Ji Qingran, "Don't say it, we are in a scheme." ”

Chu Ge's heart also sank a little, and he whispered, "It's another game, just waiting for us to come over, so the time is just right, it seems that He Qiankun is just an introduction, and we are the goal." ”

"You see, they are in the wrong, big brother Guancha, our family has died so miserably, if you can't bring them to justice, I guess I won't survive. ”

The young man cried with tears on his face, broke down and grabbed the official's hand, knelt and kowtowed to him, "Please, save me, please, administer justice for my family!"

"Don't worry, if this is the case, we will definitely investigate to the end and give your family an explanation!"

After the official finished speaking, he looked at Ji Qingran, "His Royal Highness the Dye King, please go with the lower official, you are now suspected of a major murder case, and we can't cure your crime, but this case must be reported to the imperial court and let the emperor decide." ”

The three of them can't defend themselves for the time being, and they can't resist, after all, if they resist, it will really become a fact.

Following the official mission back to the yamen, the official's attitude remained unchanged, he asked about the reason for the matter, and sighed, "Oh, how can a small case become a big case?

"This king knows, but this king wants to make it clear that this king did not kill anyone, and he broke the door when he didn't open it, and the people in the house have already died, and you can send a servant to check the time of death!"

"Yes, the lower officials have already sent a servant over, a few people please sit down, come here, and serve tea. ”

The three of them sat down, put good tea in front of them, and the officials began to write the case process seriously, and after a while, they came back, and the result of the inspection turned out to be that the time of death was almost the same as the time of breaking the door, that is, the time of the three of them coincided with the time of the crime!

Hearing this, Ji Qingran stood up and said excitedly, "How is this possible?

He shrank his neck and said in horror, "The small ones are done strictly according to the procedure, and they don't dare to be sloppy!"

"Fart, when this king went in, he checked the corpse for the first time, and he was obviously dead for at least an hour!"

He didn't squeak, and looked at the official master pitifully, "Master, the little one doesn't know, the time of the dye king's investigation cannot be used as evidence, and the small one doesn't dare to lie, and he asks the official to check clearly." ”

"You ......" Ji Qingran really wanted to slap this puppet to death with one palm, and said nonsense with his eyes open, but now, everything is very unfavorable to them, if he kills this puppet now, it will be even more confirmed that he killed someone, think about it, and finally endure it.

Ji Chengchen looked at Chu Ge uneasily, "What should we do?" we really shouldn't be so impulsive, if we don't break the door and go in, maybe it's okay." ”

"No, if we don't break down the door, this thing will still be planted on us, but in some other way, it seems that it will kill us. ”

"Then what now? I don't know if the emperor will believe us. Ji Chengchen was very worried, and Chu Ge was not sure, "It's hard to say, even if the emperor has the heart to protect us, I'm afraid that the people won't agree, this case is too big, and the emperor can't lose the hearts of the people for us." ”

Ji Chengchen's heart sank, "The reputation of Ji Wangfu...... It's ...... after all."

The official master wrote down the things one by one, sent them out, and then said to Ji Qingran, "Your Majesty, the lower official has given all the facts to the emperor, everything is decided, and we are still waiting for the news from above. ”

Ji Qingran sighed and nodded, "Yes, but the county lord and Miss Chu don't need it, right?"

The official master thought for a while and said with a smile, "If the Dye King stays, the county lord and Miss Chu can go back temporarily, but before the decision is made, the two of them can't leave Kyoto City!"
