Chapter 74: Counting is Counting
The surroundings were quiet, Ji Chenglin's face was wonderful, when he was in Yangcheng, Gu's mother and daughter were deeply favored by him, and it was common to suppress Qin's mother openly and secretly. However, he chose to ignore it. Later, when he came to the capital, he was hindered by the rules and Ji Erlan's changes, and inadvertently, he neglected Ji Tianjiao a lot. Unexpectedly, she has always been unwilling, and she actually united with outsiders to want to be unfavorable to Ji Erlan!
The more Ji Chenglin thought about it, the more he regretted it, and felt that Ji Tianjiao was simply eating inside and out! No sense of proportion!
Ji Erlan looked at everyone's faces on the side, suddenly smiled lightly, his tone was very ordinary, and said to Ji Chenglin: "Father, don't worry, Erlan still has a few words to ask Miss Yan about this matter." ”
Yan Ling swept towards her with raised eyebrows, her face had returned to her usual cold arrogance, but there was a mocking ruthlessness hidden in her eyes that could not be ignored. "Do you want to excuse those who hurt you?"
Ji Erlan was unmoved, Ji Tianjiao was indeed the one who harmed her, but she didn't plan to let Ji Tianjiao lose so early. The sin of living has not been enough, and it is really not worth it for her to die easily. She didn't answer Yan Lingtian, but asked rhetorically: "Yan Gongzi said before that it was Miss Yan who found out that someone was following my eldest sister's carriage, and when she was worried, she asked Shen Xiang to follow her to take a look, so, Shen Xiang didn't return all night, why didn't Miss Yan come and ask, did something happen?" On the contrary, there has been no movement, and it was not until Ji Fu went to inform someone that he came in a hurry again? ”
Yan Ling was stunned, his brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't think of a reason to answer for a while.
Ji Chenglin's eyebrows were nervous, and he desperately hoped that Ji Erlan could have something to say and help Ji Tianjiao clear his suspicion. Ji Erlan's face was still indifferent, and he said: "Fang Cai Yan Gongzi's defense is too fast, so I didn't have time to explain, do you know that these five dead people are actually my newly added guards?" ”
"Nonsense!" Yan Lingtian's retort blurted out, it was obviously the Yan family's secret guard. It's ridiculous that the other party actually pulled out such a blunt lie! Yan Yan, who was standing on the side, also looked sarcastic.
Ji Erlan raised her eyebrows: "Miss Yan is so sure that I'm talking nonsense?" And why? ”
"I ......" Yan Lingtian knew that he was speechless, so he hurriedly retracted his complexion and snorted coldly: "It's clear that you are lying!" ”
"Yes, but the identity deeds of these five people are in my hands at this time, and the household department can also verify their identities, Miss Yan will not let go to the household department to check, with the ability of the Yan family, it must not take much effort." As she spoke, she took a box from Twilight's hand, took out five pieces of tissue paper, and handed them to everyone to look at.
On the deed, the names and ages of the five deceased are all clear, and there is a small portrait on the side, which is undoubtedly the appearance of the deceased. Yan Lingtian and Yan Yan glanced at each other, incredulous.
Yan Yan suddenly said: "Miss Ji, pretending to sell your body is a big crime of bullying the king!" ”
"Really?" Ji Erlan looked at him for a long time, and asked rhetorically: "Then what is the crime of murdering the lives of the family members of the imperial court?" ”
Yan Yan said coldly: "Don't quibble, come here, go to the household department now to verify the identity of these five people!" As soon as his voice fell, someone immediately urged the horse to leave the Ji Mansion and go to the household department.
Ji Chenglin was a little nervous, looking at Ji Erlan with doubts, wondering if she was really pretending to be clever and lying in a vain attempt to cover up the truth. Ji Erlan took the initiative to explain: "Father, since the accident of the carriage in the mansion last time, Er Lan wants to add guards in the mansion, these people were just found yesterday, but I didn't expect to prevent the disaster for the eldest sister, and my father must bury them!" ”
Ji Chenglin was stunned for a moment, didn't Ji Erlan still guess that this group of people was robbers? It's just that before he could ask in detail, Yan Yan asked, "If it's a guard in your house, why didn't you say it at first?" Waiting for the murderer to be confirmed before speaking? And say that you didn't impose the quibble? ”
Ji Erlan said unhurriedly: "Yan Gongzi smiled, I am a girl, I am very timid, how can I take the initiative to run in front of the corpse to take a closer look?" If it weren't for the fact that you said that the eldest sister was the murderer, I wouldn't have the courage to go and see it. ”
Yan Yan's face gradually turned pale, and she was silent, just waiting for the person who went to the household department to investigate to come back and expose Ji Erlan's lies.
After a stick of incense, Yan Yan's people returned to the Ji Mansion, and said with a different color on their faces: "Son, the little one went to the household department to check carefully, these five people do have names and surnames, which are consistent with what is written on these deeds." ”
The look of astonishment on Yan Yan's face could no longer be hidden.
These five people were temporarily selected by Shen Xiang from the secret guards last night, even if Ji Erlan was capable, it was impossible to do anything in such a short period of time and fake the identities of these people! And a woman in the house, can her hand reach into the household? He looked at the beautiful girl in front of him who was standing there calmly, and suddenly thought of a possibility, could it be the king of the crossing?
Yan Lingtian also seemed to have thought of it, Tie Qing's face was clenched and his palms were stabbed by his nails, how could Ji Erlan be able to let King Du help her so far?!
Ji Erlan looked at the faces of the two of them, and her face was innocent: "Now do Yan Gongzi and Yan Girl believe what I say?" So, please tell me, why did you make up a lie claiming to have found out that someone was following my big sister and asked Fukaka to come and visit? ”
Yan Yan patted Yan Lingtian on the shoulder and woke her up from her stunned. Yan Ling looked at Ji Erlan, tried his best to suppress his unwillingness, and muttered: "Maybe I was wrong and mistakenly thought that Ji Tianjiao was being targeted. But I asked Fukaka to come and take a look, and it was indeed out of good intentions. ”
Ji Erlan said: "The eldest sister didn't have anything special when she returned home from the women's school, even if Shenxiang came, she would never find anything abnormal. When she saw my eldest sister returning home safely, why didn't she hurry back to her life? Instead, do you start working with people? ”
"It must have been a misunderstanding by the guards in your house, and they fought by mistake."
"Oh? My eldest sister had already returned home at noon, and Shen Xiang not only came to visit, but also protected my eldest sister here for an afternoon and half a night, and then she made a mistake? Miss Yan's maid is really warm-hearted. Ji Erlan was about to laugh, and easily put the Yan family brothers and sisters into a trap. So, I'm still the same question, Shen Xiang came to Ji Mansion and didn't return all night, why didn't Miss Yan come to ask if something happened? On the contrary, there has been no movement, and it was not until Ji Fu went to inform someone that he came in a hurry again? ”
Yan Lingtian was silent, it was just too much to say and what was wrong!
"Is it because my eldest sister offended you, are you going to let Shenxiang kill her?" Ji Erlan smiled coldly: "That day in Xingle Pavilion on Qing'an Street, my eldest sister did meet with Miss Yan, but the truth is different from what Miss Yan said, my eldest sister can't be so stupid and let an outsider deal with her sister." ”
Ji Tianjiao's face turned red when she heard this, and she hurriedly lowered her head to hide her expression.
Ji Erlan didn't look at Ji Tianjiao at all, and said: "In fact, it was she who inadvertently offended you, so it was you who held a grudge and wanted my eldest sister's life!" ”
Yan Ling suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, Ji Erlan was planning what he was planning!
Everyone looked at Ji Erlan. And Ji Tianjiao also looked at her in disbelief, wondering if the other party really wanted to exonerate himself. Ji Erlan said: "Let's not talk about the mistakes, can it evolve to the point where you live and die." Just look at this knife wound, you can also understand. The five guards were killed by Fuka, and although there were many sword wounds on Fuka's body, none of them were fatal. What does this mean? ”
Ji Erlan paused, looked at Yan Ling's extremely ugly face, and said word by word: "It shows that even if these five guards join forces, they are not Shenxiang's opponents!" What kind of hand do you want to talk about? ”
Ji Chenglin had already understood the whole story at this time, and returned to his old demeanor, with his hands behind his back, looking at Yan Yan and snorting coldly. Yan Yan's face became more and more ugly, and he defended: "Start your hands, the sword has no eyes, and it is not impossible to kill people by mistake!" ”
Ji Erlan sneered: "Oh? After killing five guards by mistake, I have already suffered many sword swords, and I still don't leave, what do I do in my eldest sister's boudoir? ”
"Ji Erlan, what evidence do you have!" Yan Ling's eyes narrowed dangerously, almost forced by Ji Erlan's aggressive questioning to have nowhere to hide.
"You want proof?" Ji Erlan smiled and said to the servant who stayed out of the matter: "Please take a look at this servant girl's wound, what kind of sharp knife was it?" ”
The green lintel is still in a coma, and the wound on his right hand has been treated by Su Gu, so he reopened the cotton cloth at this time for inspection, and there is no need to clean it up. After reading it, he was a little shocked: "This ...... The scar on this wound is the same as that of the five guards, it was wounded by the jade eyebrow knife held by the female corpse......"
The jade eyebrow knife, shaped like a woman's willow leaf curved eyebrows, has a very thin blade and a light blade, and is a weapon that female swordsmen love for ten minutes.
It is this kind of jade eyebrow knife that is used by deep incense.
Yan Ling looked embarrassed, gritted his teeth and said, "You said that I asked Shen Xiang to kill Ji Tianjiao, but the last person to die was Shen Xiang!" was stabbed to death by Ji Tianjiao's dagger! ”
Ji Tianjiao trembled, and hurriedly turned her gaze to Ji Erlan, the hidden hope was simply like two people who were opposite her on weekdays.
Ji Erlan didn't have time to sarcastically mock Ji Tianjiao, she walked up to Yan Lingtian, looked directly at her, and said: "In my opinion, it was Shenxiang who visited Ji Mansion at night and wanted to kill my eldest sister, but the guards found out, and the two sides started to fight. After that, the guards were defeated and killed. Although Shen Xiang was seriously injured, she was under the orders of her master, and she didn't dare to retreat, and she felt that my eldest sister was powerless and not a threat, so she broke into her boudoir despite her injuries and tried to do it. ”
However, the green frieze of the vigil woke up to find that it had broken its tendons under the block. Her cry of pain woke up my eldest sister, Shen Xiang was afraid that things would change, so she couldn't care about the green frieze, and went directly to my eldest sister, the next thing, presumably the eldest sister could explain a thing or two for me? ”
