Chapter 24: Biological Parents
"You're going to help me catch the murderer?"
Ji Yanran looked around, and the Li family's face looked as good as opening a dyeing workshop.
"Yes," Gu Heng's voice was clear, "it shouldn't be difficult for me." ”
Li Lu's face became even paler, he had long heard that the prince of Chengen was a famous difficult ghost, and if the prince did it, wouldn't it be impossible to hide it, thinking like this, he hid to the side with a weak heart.
Ji Yanran said: "The prince knows that the second uncle has already found out, and the murderer is the slave maid in the inner courtyard." Our Li family is also a high-ranking family in Taiyuan, if we can't even catch our own slaves and maids, then we will make the second uncle angry to death. ”
Ji Yanran didn't ask him, and looked straight at Li Wenwen: "Third uncle, did you say yes?" ”
"Yes, yes," Li Wenwen immediately rolled up his sleeves, "As long as our Li family wants to catch it, it is impossible not to catch it, please set up cards along the way, and give the officials some reward, not to mention Taiyuan Mansion, they can't get out of the city at all, last year, the subordinates of the family will be thieves and want to steal some wealth, as soon as they step out of the Li family, they were arrested by the nurse, your second uncle drank two glasses of wine to cheer up, stripped them of their clothes with his own hands, and used a horse whip...... Oops...... The skin of the smoke is opened...... That mighty. ”
Li Wenqing couldn't wait to slap him: "Enough is enough......"
Li Wenwen was scolded and shuddered.
Li Wenqing said: "We don't need an outsider to interfere in the affairs of our Li family. ”
Ji Yanran nodded obediently, bit her lip, and looked at Gu Heng with a smile: "Lord Shizi, you see, this family is the second uncle's master." ”
Gu Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, it was really interesting, just like when he saw her in Qishan Temple, knowing that she was cheating, she looked more real than anyone else, and her smile or sorrow was just right, it was a scene.
The corners of Gu Heng's mouth curled: "Then you have to think about it, if the murderer makes another move, then it will be ......" said and paused, "I am reluctant to lose this deal." ”
The burning gaze is aggressive.
Ji Yanran lowered her eyes: "If I can't catch someone tomorrow, I can't care about the face of the Li family, so I will consider the proposal of the prince." ”
The devil believed her.
She was just using him to suppress the Li family.
Gu Heng smiled, he was more curious about how she would catch the murderer if he didn't show up.
"Second uncle," Ji Yanran suddenly remembered, "You can send more people out, as long as you arrest Mrs. Xiao's family back, I will know if there are any murderers who have harmed me, that night...... I can see it clearly. ”
Li Wenqing's eyes flashed with surprise, and Li Lu next to him couldn't help but clench his hands, Ji Shi obviously didn't see anything before, so he casually found someone to make a scapego, and now ...... She changed her words, this was a big trap for him, even if he killed Xiao Pozi's son and brought it back, Ji denied that he was not the one who harmed her...... The case is still not closed.
So that's the case, Gu Heng laughed.
Seeing that Li Wenqing and Second Mrs. Li were leaving, Ji Yanran immediately took a few steps forward and stretched out her white hand: "Second uncle and second aunt have seen my dowry, it's time to hand over all the family business of our long house!" ”
Otherwise, the coffin she let people carry would not have left.
"Give it to her." Li Wenqing almost gritted his teeth and said, he didn't want to entangle with the Ji family now, he wanted to go to the Jiang family immediately and let Miss Jiang come forward to solve the Ji family.
A brocade box was handed over to Ji Yanran, her whole person was refreshed, and it was not easy to live without money, although she was just a passing god of wealth, she still felt very happy.
She wanted to find an opportunity to thank Li Wenwen and his wife, thanks to their help on the side, it could go so smoothly.
Back in the house, Mother Rong brought the shopkeeper of the coffin shop over.
Ji Yanran immediately put down the box in her hand and looked at it carefully, Uncle Qiu hung his head and didn't speak, and his body was a little more gloomy.
This is the only few old family members left in the Ji family.
Ji Yanran said: "Uncle Qiu, I have worked hard for you today. The owner of this body ignored the coffin shop for three years, and she also asked Rong's mother to pass the word with the intention of trying it out, but Uncle Qiu didn't ask much, and pulled out all the coffins in the shop.
Uncle Qiu bowed his head and said, "This is what I should do, as long as the eldest lady can use it." His voice sounded very flat without any waves, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on Ji Yanran again.
When he heard that the eldest lady died, he was full of regret, if he hadn't kept the agreement with the lord and went to find the eldest lady earlier, maybe the eldest lady would not have been killed so silently.
Now the eldest lady is alive.
He also had the opportunity to repay Ji's kindness.
Although Ji Yanran knew that the coffin shop was a good business in addition to sounding unlucky, she still had many questions, why her current father, the exiled Lord Ji, would hand over this deal to her, and she ignored the coffin shop for three years, and this Uncle Qiu did not come to the door.
"Uncle Qiu," Ji Yanran said, "My father didn't explain much about the coffin shop, you know everything, you might as well tell me everything." ”
Uncle Qiu's body trembled slightly, he thought that the eldest lady would never ask, and after a long while, he took a long breath before saying: "The eldest lady knows that the strength of our master is not to be an official, but to do business, and the first thing the master did in Beijing was a coffin shop." ”
"The shop is open in the market, and the peddlers and pawns come and go all the year round, so that the information can be well-informed, that is, the 'bad guys' will also come to our shop to find clues when they handle cases."
Ji Yanran quickly found the memories of bad people. The bad guys are the officials who arrest serious criminals and important criminals in this dynasty, and they only listen to the emperor's relatives and a few dignitaries. Every case they handle is not simple.
Why does the Ji family associate with bad people?
Uncle Qiu continued: "After the decline of the Ji family, almost all the family assets were seized by the imperial court, and the master wanted to hand over the only remaining shop to the eldest lady, but he was afraid that the eldest lady would be in danger because of this......"
Ji Yanran nodded, the main owner of this body in the past was indeed not a person who could be entrusted with heavy responsibilities.
"Therefore, the master instructed us that if the eldest lady did not take the initiative to take over the coffin shop, we must not tell the eldest lady about this."
Ji Yanran's heart warmed, she experienced the love of her parents for the first time, her father was so cautious, I was afraid that there would be a mistake, and he really regarded her as the meat of his heart.
If you think about it carefully, my father's behavior also shows one thing, someone is framing the Ji family.
Ji Yanran said: "My father was wronged when he was convicted. ”
Uncle Qiu looked a little excited, and clenched his fists: "We all believe that adults are not greedy for ink......"
Ji Yanran suddenly had a happy scene in her mind, she stood on her father's shoulder and went up to the beautiful lantern, once, twice, and finally her foot fell softly, but she fell into her father's arms.
Unconsciously, a line of tears flowed from the corners of Ji Yanran's eyes.
She became Ji Yanran, carrying all her joys and sorrows, and also allowing her to have real relatives for the first time, she must not lose them like this.
A thunderclap sounded in the sky, heavy rain came quietly, and the damp and fresh smell came to her face, Ji Yanran took a heavy breath, her eyes were indescribably clear: "I will take my father and mother back, and our family will definitely be reunited." ”
How to run a coffin shop and rely on your own strength to overturn the case for your father must be carefully arranged.
Ji Yanran instructed Mother Rong to send Uncle Qiu away first and walk back to the inner room.
Master Shikong had already taken care of Li Yong's wounds, and the little monk Hu Yu was boiling medicine on the side.
Seeing Ji Yanran, Master Shikong handed over the prescription in his hand: "In the next few days, you can use the medicine according to the prescription." ”
Ji Yanran took the prescription and looked out the door: "Does the mage know the intention of the prince of Chengen?" She always felt that the bun was not kind to Master Shikong.
That guy's skin is still good, maybe it's broken.
