Chapter 44: Who's the Thief
Su Jiwen is Su Ningxue's cousin, Ji Yanning knows it, but she didn't expect that Su Jiwen would be crowned an earl after Rong Liang ascended the throne.
But when she thought about it, she could understand what was going on.
At the beginning, Su Ningxue was bullied by her stepmother under the pretext that her life was very pitiful and bleak, so Ying Caiwei's aunt took her in to live in Ying's house as a cousin, and she often came into contact with Ying Caiwei.
The reason why Ying Caiwei sympathized with and pitied Su Ningxue was not only because of her abusive stepmother and sister, but also because of her cousin Su Jiwen who blocked her on the street from time to time, wanting to embarrass and blackmail her.
Now that I think about it, the so-called kindness is nothing more than a means to be calculated and used by others.
Seeing Ji Yanning's cold face, Hua Wanyan asked, "Does Miss Ji know this person?"
Ji Yanning shook his head: "I grew up in Jiangzhou since I was a child, and although my family is in business, I have never traveled far away, and I rarely know about these things." ”
Her answer made Hua Yanyan a little disappointed, she originally thought that Ji Yanning was from a famous family and could help herself more or less, but she didn't expect that Ji Yanning was just the daughter of an ordinary family, just powerless.
She lowered her head and smiled bitterly, and said, "It's okay if Miss Ji doesn't know, these things shouldn't have been involved in you in the first place." ”
Huang Xian Ling said on the side: "Where is Miss Ji going?"
"Cangzhou. "Ji Yanning has nothing to taboo.
Huang Xian ordered: "Miss Ji is a blessed person, and her parents are very happy to come to the house, if the daughter of this official can have half of Miss Ji's resourcefulness, this official doesn't have to worry about him." ”
Ji Yanning lowered his eyes and did not answer.
Ziyu coughed lightly twice on the side and said in a low voice: "Our old lady has not been mourned for a long time. ”
Huang Xianling's face froze, and then said, "I'm sorry." ”
"No problem. Ji Yanning said, casually changing the topic, "Many of my family's guards have been injured, and they need to stay in Hengcheng for two more days, but I don't like to bother, if you have any questions about the case, just ask Ji Jiu." ”
Huang County's order should be.
This girl Ji looks a little cold, but she has a lot of ability, and she helped him solve this difficult case, so he naturally respects her from the bottom of his heart.
Huang County Commander came out of the inn, and then returned to Yamen, now he has a lot of things to deal with, the Governor of Hejiang led troops to come to the rescue, he is a small county Commander is naturally going to visit, but the Governor has not let him in since he came back.
It is said that because the Chin Cha was wounded, and the thief who captured the woman did not leave a single person alive, the Governor was very angry.
He could only wait silently for the Governor's summons.
At this time, Situ Feng, the governor of Hejiang, looked at Rong Che, who had just treated his wounds, and the expression on his face was dark.
Rong Che had a lot of sword wounds on his body, large and small, and he felt worried when he looked at it, he was obviously a noble prince, but he almost died here.
"Little Wangye, you are too willful! How can you deal with the hundreds of people of Jin Wuwei single-handedly! They are really vegetable buns!" Situ Feng became more and more angry the more he thought about it, "And that Hengcheng County Decree is too! Their people actually left you alone, see how Lao Tzu will clean him up later!"
Rong Che lay on the bed, a smile appeared on his pale face: "Uncle Situ is not angry, thanks to you, I'm fine now." And don't blame the people of the county government, they don't know my identity. ”
Situ Feng saw that he had no repentance or fear at all, and his heart was even more angry.
"Little prince, you are a daughter, even if you want to save people, you can't exchange your life, if something happens to you, how can I explain to your deceased mother!" Situ Feng said.
Rong Che had been listening to him for a few hours, and sighed: "Uncle Situ, can you not call me Little Prince, I have already reached the crown." ”
"You are the last prince of the first emperor, naturally you are the little prince, and it has nothing to do with age. Situ Feng said.
Rong Che smiled helplessly: "Then if there is a prince who is also crowned king in the future, Uncle Situ still plans to call me the little prince?"
Situ Feng was interrupted by him like this, and his anger disappeared a lot, and said: "It doesn't matter what it's called, you have to take care of your body, don't worry about this case for now, I heard that the emperor has appointed Duan Wufang, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, to come over to take over the case, and the new prefect has also arranged for it, so nothing can go wrong." ”
Rong Che was not as optimistic as him: "The matter involves Jin Wuwei, it must be related to the royal family, even if Wufang can find some clues, some people are not something he can shake." ”
"You want to be a carefree prince, if you really can't handle it without flaw, what do you think you can do?" Situ Feng said, "The emperor is suspicious by nature, if you always come forward, you may be killed." ”
Rong Che knew that Situ Feng was thinking about him, so he answered yes and didn't argue with him.
Situ Feng is the daughter of his mother, so he takes good care of him, if it weren't for that, how could others say such persuasive words.
Listening to Situ Feng's advice, Rong Che said: "Since I haven't announced my identity, I don't need to trouble the county government, just as I have never interfered in this matter." ”
Situ Feng bowed his head, and he didn't want to let King Xuan intervene in this matter for people to discover, otherwise the person hiding behind the scenes would probably target King Xuan.
If it weren't for Rong Che saying that he wanted to rest, Situ Feng would have to nag for a few more hours before he would stop.
As soon as Situ Feng left, Rong Che finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The waiter came in from outside the door with the medicine, and the flying eagle took the plate in his hand, put the medicine jar on the table, and then poured out the potion into the bowl, and probed it with a silver needle before bringing it to Rong Che.
Rong Che drank all the black medicine and asked Feiying, "How is Ji Yanning?"
Feiying said expressionlessly: "She has so many guards to protect her, naturally she is fine, and she has now become a living bodhisattva in the eyes of the people, who dares to touch half of her hair." ”
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Feiying's tone, Rong Che smiled in his eyes and explained: "It was this king who knocked her out and let her take her away, so you don't have to be so angry." ”
Feiying said: "The subordinates didn't get angry, but Miss Ji acted too hastily and almost took the master's life, and the subordinates felt a little unfair." ”
Rong Che: "She didn't rush it, for them, this is already an excellent way to save people." Moreover, she made Rong Qi's antidote, and based on this alone, this king did not regret saving her. ”
The eagle bowed his head and fell silent.
The master seems to be getting more and more interested in this Ji girl.
Ji Yanning, who was in the inn, hadn't gone out for two days, and since she said that she didn't like to be disturbed by others, no guests in the inn stepped forward, for fear that she would annoy Miss Ji and the other people.
The shopkeeper is not only not in a hurry, but enjoys it.
It doesn't matter if there are no guests in the past few days, waiting for the little ancestor to leave, this is the inn where she has lived, and the business will definitely be booming in the future.
At noon on the third day, Ji Yanning finally went out.
Although the surrounding people were happy to see Ji Yanning, they did not exaggerate enough to stop her from talking, but greeted her with a smile on the side, and Ji Yanning bowed slightly to show that he would return the salute.
Seeing her so gentle, everyone was like a spring breeze.
After Ji Yanning walked around the street twice, he went to the pharmacy to buy some medicinal materials, passed by the jade shop, and took Ying'er inside to take a look.
The business in the jade shop is good, and the customers are picking things in twos and threes, and when they saw Ji Yanning coming over, the little girl stepped forward and said, "What do you want to buy, we are the largest jade shop in the city, and the things are the most complete." ”
"I'll take a look first. Ji Yanning said.
The little maid bowed his head and said: "There is a new jade Buddha bead over there, which has been very welcome recently, but it can ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters, girl take a look." ”
Ji Yanning bowed his head and looked in the direction he pointed, where there were several women standing selecting.
Xu is because of the looting incident, everyone is seeking peace of mind, and the jade Buddha beads are selling well.
She didn't want to step forward to join in the fun, so she looked around, turned around and saw a hosta on the shelf not far away.
The hosta that I just glanced at was picked up by a woman in yellow, and the woman in yellow saw that the surrounding people were busy greeting other guests, so she took the hosta and quietly stuffed it into her sleeve.
Ji Yanning stepped forward lightly and grabbed her hand.
"Stealing something?" Ji Yanning raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
The woman in yellow was stunned, she didn't expect someone to come forward to stop her, but seeing that Ji Yanning was about the same age as her, she was not afraid, and said coldly: "It's best not to meddle." ”
Ji Yanning said: "Put the hairpin back." ”
Seeing that the little guy in the shop turned his head to look at them, Ji Yanning kept holding her and didn't let go, the woman in yellow frowned, stuffed the hairpin into Ji Yanning's hand, and grabbed Ji Yanning's wrist with her backhand: "Come on, catch the thief!"
Everyone who heard the movement looked at them one after another, and the shopkeeper and the servant also gathered around.
The woman in yellow grabbed Ji Yanning's hand and shouted loudly to everyone: "I saw her cast a hosta!"
Ying'er, who was on the side, was angry with such a scoundrel: "Nonsense, it's obvious that you stole something, and you dare to slander my young lady!"
The woman in yellow ignored Ying'er's words and continued to say loudly: "Someone, it's her who stole something, and she actually has accomplices!"
The little guy surrounded Ji Yanning and them, and the shopkeeper stepped forward to take a look, isn't this Miss Ji!
He hurriedly saluted Ji Yanning: "It turned out to be Miss Ji, if you have anything you like, just pick it, don't want money!"
The woman in yellow, who was originally triumphant, was stunned for a moment, what kind of turn is this?
The surrounding women were also a little excited when they saw Ji Yanning, and they were all saying how could Miss Ji steal something, she must have been framed.
"I don't believe you can search her body, the hosta is really on her body!" the woman in yellow said loudly at the group.
Ji Yanning put the hosta back in front of everyone, and said to the shopkeeper: "I really want to buy this hosta, but she almost stole it and framed me." ”
"Miss Ji's words, I naturally believe it, and now let people send this thief to the yamen! This hairpin power should be a thank you gift from the shop to Miss Ji for catching the thief. ”
The shopkeeper's words made the woman in yellow completely collapse in her heart, what kind of world is this!
