Chapter 391: The Flute in the Middle of the Night
Ji Yanning looked at him with such a stunned appearance, and he couldn't help laughing.
After a long time, she said to Rong Che: "You don't have to worry too much, since you have taken this case, I will help you." ”
Rong Che smiled bitterly and said, "But I don't want you to get involved in this matter, it's too dangerous." ”
"It's dangerous for others, but not for me. Ji Yanning said, "Actually, I really want to see the people behind the manipulation." ”
A person who can use the Gu Poison Technique to such an extent is not a genius, but it is by no means simple.
Ji Yanning was told by her grandfather since she was a child that her talent in poison art is very unattainable, and she learns things faster than others, and many times she is even self-taught, and her brothers envy her, but she is also envious that other brothers have opponents who can compete with each other.
This is the loneliness of being too talented in a certain aspect, my grandfather said, in fact, there are not as many talented people as they imagined, but many people's talents when they are young will be smoothed out by long days.
Because there is no opponent, it is too lonely, so it will stop.
There are too few people who have the courage to explore, or even excel in a certain aspect.
Her grandfather and grandfather feared that she would become like that, so they tried to sharpen her temperament, so that she could guard against arrogance and rashness, and calm down, so that all she did was to read books, whether they were medical or other books, and whoever wrote them was, as long as she had them, she would read them.
That's why she can find even those old travelogues.
Reading books should also have a state of detachment, with one's own set of opinions, and not being led along with the intention of the cultivator.
I have to say that my grandfather and maternal grandfather put too much thought into her.
Rong Che saw her eyes shining like this, and he was a little envious of the person behind it, but he could understand that feeling.
It's like a person who has not met an opponent for many years with strong martial arts, and suddenly sees a person who is equal to his own strength, he will naturally be excited.
It's just a pity that they are in opposing positions.
If the identity of the person behind this is exposed and he gets it, he will definitely not let him continue to live.
In this life-threatening showdown, I don't know who will be more excited.
He can only protect Ji Yanning better, and don't let the people behind him know that she can use poison arts, and she can also detoxify Gu poison.
Otherwise, I am afraid that those people will have to deal with Ji Yanning even if they pay any price.
Ji Yanning asked Pearl to replace all the incense in the mansion with the spices she had prepared, and also gave all the guards in the mansion a sachet containing herbs that she had personally selected, even if she was poisoned by Gu, she would not be easily controlled.
But Ji Yanning also knew very well that this kind of Gu worm was rare, and the people behind it would not use such a method to deal with them too easily.
It didn't take long for the old man who had been controlled to collect the swill to die, and his death was extremely ugly, his whole body was rotten, and it looked disgusting.
Ji Yanning knew the news, but went to investigate the corpse, and came to the conclusion that the Gu poison in the old man's body had been three months, so he would have a seizure and die.
She originally thought that this old man was the same as those soldiers, and it had only been poisoned for more than a month, but she didn't expect that this old man had already been poisoned, that is, the man had already made a plan to rob the newly collected official silver.
Ji Yanning felt that those soldiers couldn't wait any longer, and if they waited a little longer, the soldiers would become more and more dangerous.
"I want to detoxify those soldiers. Ji Yanning told Rong Che what he thought.
Rong Che's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "I'll arrange it." ”
Because he knew that there were traitors in the yamen, Rong Che didn't want to expose Ji Yanning's ability to detoxify Gu poison, if he detoxified those soldiers in prison, it would inevitably be discovered.
So he had to take those soldiers to a secret place for treatment, so that others could not know.
Ji Yanning looked at Rong Che, nodded, turned his head to look at the old man's corpse, and then sighed lightly.
"What's wrong?" asked Rong Che.
It was night now, and they came to Yizhuang for an autopsy without informing He Zhang in advance, there was a mass grave near here, and no one dared to come over when it was dark except for the old man guarding the corpse.
Except for the sound of wild dogs barking, everything else is very quiet.
Ji Yanning said: "I'm thinking, since the person who robbed the official bank is so smart, he spent such a thing on harming people and robbing money. If I had no power in my hands, maybe I would have become a cold-blooded and ruthless person like him. ”
For revenge, she would probably really do something like this.
If she hadn't woken up at the beginning, without the wealth of the Ji family, without the help of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and without meeting Yuan Jiaojiao and Rong Che, would she just take that hatred all over her body, and do whatever it takes to achieve her goal.
She knew she was a terrible person.
Rong Che took her hand and walked out of the morgue and said, "No." You're you, no matter how bad the situation is, don't you all come over like that?"
Ji Yanning bowed, there are too many uncertainties in this world, but it's okay.
She meets Rong Che and hopes that her choice is no longer wrong.
Walking out of the foul-smelling morgue, the air was much better, Ji Yanning and Rong Che stood not far from the foot of the mountain and blew the cold wind for a while, and finally blew away the smell on their bodies, and then slowly got into the carriage.
The city of Qianzhou is exceptionally quiet when it gets dark, and every household is already shrouded in the feeling of sleep.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, which was particularly loud in the night sky, Ji Yanning felt a little tired, and leaned on Rong Che's shoulder in the carriage to rest with his eyes closed.
In the past two days, she has been making sachets for them in addition to perfume, so she is a little tired, and the guards are all made by herself and Pearl, so naturally she talked for a while.
The carriage stopped in front of the house, but Ji Yanning slept a little sweetly on his shoulder.
Rong Che looked down at her sleepy eyes, couldn't help but chuckle, and then gently dropped a kiss on her forehead.
"Lord Wang......" Feiying was about to speak, when he saw that the curtain of the carriage had been lifted, and then he saw Rong Che holding Ji Yanning and walking steadily from the carriage.
Seeing the eyes of his own prince, Feiying immediately closed his mouth, it is better not to wake up Miss Ji at this time.
Rong Che hugged Ji Yanning, this little girl who looked like she was dancing with her teeth and claws on weekdays, but it was very easy to pick up, and he even wanted to marry her into the door earlier.
Otherwise, it's always itchy.
As soon as he walked into the courtyard with Ji Yanning in his arms, he suddenly heard a thin flute sound.
On this big night, there are still people playing the flute?
Ji Yanning's eyes suddenly opened.
She found herself in Rong Che's arms, her cheeks flushed slightly, and then she said, "Let me down, I can go by myself." ”
Rong Che looked down and saw that she had woken up, his eyes were smiling, and he immediately put her down.
He asked, "Why are you awake?"
He didn't think he was moving much, and he didn't wake up when he just got out of the carriage.
Ji Yanning said: "Listen, is there a flute?"
Rong Che bowed his head, no need for Ji Yanning to say, he heard it just now, and now that he heard Ji Yanning talk about it, he remembered what Ji Yanning said before.
Most of the people who want to control those who are poisoned by Gu use musical instruments.
Rong Che said: "Flying Eagle." ”
The flying eagle walked in from the outside and saluted Rong Che, "What does the prince command?"
"Take a few people to find the source of the flute. Rong Che said.
The eagle answered with a "yes" and walked outside.
Ji Yanning lifted the hem of her skirt and walked quickly to her room, and Rong Che followed.
Seeing Ji Yanning and Rong Che coming back, Pearl stepped forward happily, and before she could speak, Ji Yanning said: "Last time I saw a guqin in the study, find it and give it to me, quick!"
Pearl was stunned, immediately came back to her senses, trotted towards the study, and soon came out with the guqin in her arms.
Ji Yanning took the guqin, then walked on the pavilion high in the attic and put the guqin on the table.
Rong Che and Pearl stood aside, and then they didn't know what she was going to do, but looking at her serious appearance, they didn't come forward to bother.
Ji Yanning tried his best to calm his mind, and the sleepiness just now instantly dissipated when he heard the sound of the flute.
Because it's the person behind the manipulation that starts to take action.
Ji Yanning stretched out her hand and slowly began to stroke the qin, the melody jumped out of her fingertips, rippling leisurely in the silent night sky, blowing like the wind in every corner of the city.
The entire city of Qianzhou was quiet, only the sound of a flute and a piano intertwined with each other.
Not far away, the man in black sat on a high wall, standing upright, holding a white flute in his hand, playing a tune leisurely, which sounded particularly weird, especially in this dark night, which made some people have a headache.
But soon, he heard the sound of the piano coming from a distance, and his eyes were a little incredible, but he did not stop, and continued to play his tune.
The sound of the piano in Ji Yanning's hand has become more and more agitated from the original soothing, and his fingertips are constantly moving, but it doesn't seem to give people a feeling of restlessness, nor does it wake up the sleeping person.
The sound of the flute and the sound of the piano were staggered, Ji Yanning was immersed in his piano skills, his eyes were sharp, his fingers swept over the strings, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
The entire Qianzhou City suddenly returned to quiet, but Rong Che's ears were still vaguely stuck on the sound of her piano that was still reverberating.
The man standing on the wall also stopped, he put away his flute, and looked at the person who was approaching him not far away, jumped off the wall, and disappeared into the night.
Ji Yanning exhaled lightly, then twisted the joints of his fingers and stood up from the stool.
