Ji Yanning looked at the lantern in her hand, she knew that this was Cai Meng's showdown with herself.

Cai Meng is a person with bad intentions and extremely deep hiding, how can he easily let the evidence of this case be revealed, unless he wants to put this evidence in front of him.

This is tantamount to telling Ji Yanning that he Cai Meng was also involved in this human skin lantern case.

Now that Rong Che and Cai Meng are going to suppress the bandits together, Rong Che will inevitably be in danger.

Hearing Ji Yanning's analysis, Pearl felt frightened when she heard it, how could she not be frightened, if it was an ordinary thief, it was just a prefect.

I'm afraid that this prefect is eager to take the lives of the prince and the eldest lady, who let them peek into the secret of this prefect.

Pearl said: "Miss, what can I do, now that the prince and Cai Meng are going to suppress the bandits together, who knows when Cai Meng will attack the prince!"

Ji Yanning's eyes sank slightly, and he said: "Don't panic, Cai Meng asked people to send me lanterns, just to make me panic, knowing that he and Yao Yun are in the same group, if it were someone else, he would have been impatient a long time ago, and rushed to Mapo Mountain to find them to theorize, or to remind the prince." ”

Pearl listened to Ji Yanning's words, frowned slightly, and was a little puzzled.

Yuan Wu opened his mouth to explain: "What Miss said is not wrong, Cai Meng did this, if Miss really lost her mind and rushed to Mapo Mountain, I am afraid that she fell into the trap set by Cai Meng early." If the young lady has any accidents, presumably the prince will also be in chaos, so Cai Meng's treacherous plan will probably succeed. ”

Hearing Yuan Wu's explanation, Pearl was a little dazed, she didn't expect that there were these doorways.

If she is the eldest lady and knows that the prince is in danger, she must go to tell her first, expose Cai Meng's true face, and not let the prince suffer.

But listening to this analysis, she felt that this was exactly what the other party wanted.

"However, if it was really Cai Meng's doing, wouldn't the prince be in danger?" Pearl asked.

Is it just like this, but you know it, but you are indifferent?

Ji Yanning's eyes moved slightly, and he said: "Rong Che is not such a stupid person, he will definitely be able to detect Cai Meng's abnormality, not to mention that he has never believed in Cai Meng, so he will naturally be more vigilant." ”

At the beginning, when Cai Meng interceded for Yao Yun, it was not enough to make people suspect Cai Meng's head.

After all, it is not for nothing that the merchant and the yamen are mutually beneficial, and Yao Ji is not small, even if Cai Meng doesn't know what Yao Yun has done, it doesn't hurt to say a few more words for Yao Yun, but then Yao Yun was obviously involved in the human skin case, and as a result, he escaped from prison.

Although the cell in the yamen is not as good as the prison, it is not easy for ordinary prisoners to escape from prison, Yao Yun escaped from prison, but he was afraid that Cai Meng was afraid that he would be implicated, so he secretly released the person.

Pearl is still a little worried, there were bandits to deal with the eldest lady before, although they were subdued, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no other assassins and killers.

Ji Yanning saw Pearl looking so worried, and said: "Don't worry too much, with Yuan Wu here, ordinary people still can't easily touch us, but we can't walk around at will." You put some effort into eating, and the food in the back kitchen must be tested for non-toxicity one by one before everyone can eat it. ”

When Pearl heard Ji Yanning's words, she immediately nodded violently: "The slave knows." ”

Ji Yanning's eyes moved slightly, and said, "You don't have to worry too much, Rong Che has already sent the news back to Chang'an a few days ago, maybe someone will come over in the next two days." ”

Rong Che has a lot of men and horses, but against the head snake on the ground, Cai Meng has more officers and soldiers in his hands, and if he fights hard, he will probably still suffer a loss.

So they were prepared early and sent a message to Chang'an.

Hearing Ji Yanning's words, Pearl finally felt at ease, but she still couldn't relax her vigilance, and she had to check all the food in her mouth.

When Yuan Wu and Pearl both walked out of Ji Yanning's room, her eyes were fixed on the lantern and she thought of her dream.

"It's you calling me, right?" Ji Yanning murmured softly, "Although I don't know why I dreamed of you, don't worry, your enemies will definitely not end well." ”

A wicked man is his own hell.

But sometimes God is really unfair, and some people have done a lot of bad things, but they just haven't been punished.

So at this time, she doesn't mind teaching these people a lesson on behalf of God.

Ji Yanning was a little sleepy, she gradually felt tired again, so she put the lantern aside, and then fell asleep by herself.

She began to dream again, this time not of a lantern, but of a girl of great shape, crouching in a corner and crying in a low voice.

Ji Yanning stepped forward and asked, "You...... Is that the man on the lantern?"

The girl looked up, and she had a very beautiful face.

Her eyes looked at Ji Yanning and said, "I really envy you, I still have a chance to live again, but unfortunately I don't have such a chance, but I hate it, I hate it." ”

Ji Yanning's body trembled, she actually knew that she had lived again.

The girl said, "Please, help me, help me kill those people!"

Ji Yanning's eyes looked at her, maybe because of the dream, she didn't feel a trace of fear, and even felt that she probably had the same disease as her.

This girl was originally born in an ordinary but happy family, although her parents are both merchants, but the family is wealthy, she grew up like a young lady, she is beautiful, so there are often many people look sideways, she originally felt that she was very lucky, to have this skin.

But now she regrets it very much, it is because of this skin that her life is worse than death.

Cai Meng likes to collect beautiful skins, this is a secret that few people know, before he became the prefect of Liangzhou, such a hobby was already there, in the past, he used to use beautiful skins as paintings, and then he thought about using beautiful skins to make lanterns.

When Cai Meng saw this girl's appearance, he had evil intentions, but he disguised it well, and it didn't take long for someone to go to her house to make trouble and want to take her away.

The family went to report to the official, but no one paid attention.

The parents were heartbroken, and originally wanted to take their daughter and son away to fly away, after all, they still have money, and it is not impossible to settle in other places.

As a result, this decision led to a miserable death for her entire family.

Her family was taken away by the bandits, and she was kept in an extremely secluded place, where it was too dark to see clearly.

Those people said that her skin was not white enough, so she had to spend a month in that dark place before she could be skinned, and during that time, she could not survive or die.

But during that time there, she also knew a lot about Cai Meng.

Knowing that it was the prefect's hand, her heart was like ashes, and she knew that she couldn't make decisions for herself at all.

Cai Meng didn't expect this human skin lantern to be so good-looking, and it was very popular, and even became a tool for him to stammer others.

He also gave a human skin lantern to the four princes, and the four princes loved it very much, although they didn't know that it was a lantern made of human skin, but the texture was good, and the four princes naturally loved it.

He became a member of the camp of the Four Princes, so he became even more unscrupulous and continued to search for other good-looking girls.

Peeling is extremely painful, and it has to be peeled off while people are still alive, Ji Yanning can feel the cold around him when he hears this.

It should hurt so much, it should be the same as when I was burned to death by the coals when I died.

"Miss. Pearl called softly, and seeing that Ji Yanning was still sleeping, she raised her voice and called a few more times, "It's time for Miss to wake up." ”

Ji Yanning opened his eyes, looked at the pearl, and suddenly shed a tear from the corner of his eye.

Pearl hurriedly asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"

Ji Yanning felt a little dizzy, looking at the sunlight coming in from the window, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and then got up.

"I'm fine, I just had a nightmare. Ji Yanning looked at the lantern and sighed lightly.

Yes, not everyone is as lucky as she is.

Not everyone can have a chance to do it again after they die, so she has always cherished it.

Pearl followed Ji Yanning's gaze and looked at the lantern and asked, "Miss shouldn't dream of this lantern again, the slaves and maids said that don't put such things in the house, it's weird, let's let Jinhe take it out." ”

Ji Yanning nodded, and then said: "This is the evidence of the case, let him not break it." ”

Pearl heard Ji Yanning's words, and finally asked Jinhe to get the eye-catching lantern away.

Ji Yanning looked at the sky outside, but she didn't expect her to sleep for so long, and slept until the next morning.

It's just that as soon as she washed up, a guard hurriedly came to report.

"Miss, just now a guard from the Duan family sent a message, saying that Lord Duan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, will probably arrive in Liangzhou City in the afternoon. The guards reported.

Ji Yanning didn't expect Duan Wuflaw to come quickly.

In this way, even if Cai Meng has great ability, he may not be able to get out of the way.

Ji Yanning sneered, and even thought about killing her and Rong Che?

With such a big appetite, I'm not afraid to die.

"Ji Yanning!

Ji Yanning had just descended the stairs from the second floor at noon, and when she walked to the lobby, she suddenly saw a fiery red figure, coming straight towards her.

Before she could see the face of the person who came, the fiery figure had already rushed in front of her and hugged herself into her arms.

Pearl standing beside Ji Yanning saw the person coming, her eyes lit up, and she smiled: "Miss Yuan, why are you here?"

The person who rushed into the inn was none other than Yuan Jiaojiao, who was wearing a fiery red cloak.

Hearing Pearl's words, Yuan Jiaojiao raised her head, snorted lightly, and said, "If I don't come, I don't know that I won't be able to see Ji Yanning until the Year of the Monkey!"

Yuan Jiaojiao is always like this, she likes to call Ji Yanning by name and surname.

But her eyes were full of joy.
