Chapter 255: Suddenly so polite
In fact, Ji Qirui didn't know what was going on, but he knew that if this matter was successfully resolved, it would definitely make the emperor look at him differently, and it would be an excellent opportunity for meritorious service, so he would risk being exposed to give Tu Ren an idea.
Ji Changye, what are you fighting with me? He thought to himself.
At night, the desolate wind whistles outside the window.
Song Qian finally took the initiative to fall asleep in the past few days, but just when he was unconscious, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside.
Looking at the flashing firelight outside, Song Qian hurriedly put on his coat and went outside to check what was happening.
Ji Changye and He Yujin were woken up, and the three of them made a sound together, and walked towards the housekeeper's house, but they didn't expect that the fire was Changfeng just now.
"What happened?" Ji Changye was inexplicably flustered, so he stepped forward and hurriedly asked, fearing that something bad would happen.
And what happened next. Sure enough, it proved what he thought.
Changfeng came over and reported, "Lord, princess. Just now, a thief wanted to enter the house and assassinate the people inside, but fortunately he found it early and did not let the individual succeed. But it's still a small carelessness. They didn't catch him and let him run away." When he spoke, he lowered his head, he was really embarrassed and unworthy.
Song Qian comforted, "They did this unexpectedly, if you hadn't discovered it in time, it would definitely be out of control. So don't blame yourself, you didn't do anything wrong."
These words really said to Changfeng that he cared, and he hurriedly nodded in response and said, "Thank you Song Niangzi."
Immediately the butler was brought out and knelt before them.
Ji Changye asked in a cold voice, "Say, what happened just now? Is there really a thief who wants to kill you, or are you and the others working for a woman and want to use this to get rid of the peach?" The reason why the latter is so suspicious is because there have been quite a few such things that have happened before.
The housekeeper was still afraid, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and after realizing that he was suspected, he hurriedly explained, "If you go back to the prince, the little one doesn't know what happened. Besides, the little one has always been here and hasn't been out, so you should know it. So why do you suspect that it was a small person who went outside to ventilate the news, and deliberately came to find someone to make such a move?"
So the housekeeper quickly guessed that Tu Ren must be helping him in this matter, but he didn't expect that it was Tu Ren who really had murderous intentions and was still complacent, but he didn't know that he had been abandoned by Tu Ren.
Song Qian also echoed the butler's words after thinking carefully, "Lord Wang, this is indeed the truth. He has been locked up in the firewood room since we brought him back that day, and someone has been watching him all day long, and he is not afraid that he will deliver letters outside, and even if his master can prepare for a rainy day, he cannot be counted as where he is now, so I suspect that there is a traitor among our people." After that, she looked around for seven weeks, looked at everyone, and found nothing unusual.
She also took the opportunity to observe some expressions, trying to find strange people among them. Unexpected and things they need people, none of whom have hope.
I didn't expect this to be the result.
So what kind of people want to kill people?
At the same time, Tu Fu Nei.
Ji Qirui angrily slapped the table on the table to Tu Ren in front of him, and said with anger, "You don't know how much trouble you have caused me? I'm not asking you to find someone who is athletic and trustworthy. Why are you still arrested, people can't apply for it?"
Tu Ren knelt down and begged for mercy, and replied, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the little one doesn't know what happened. The small one is indeed the most athletic and trustworthy person under his hands. I didn't know that this kind of thing was happening, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me."
It's just that he didn't succeed in killing anyone. Why be angry? Isn't there a next chance? Tu Ren thought like this, naturally he didn't dare to say it.
Ji Qirui guessed their thoughts, so he continued, "This matter has nothing to do with Prince Ben, but it is a big trouble for you, so now what Prince Ben asks you to do is for you and the entire Tu family, you
Why are you so unsatisfied?" The words successfully made Tu Ren ponder, and he felt some empathy.
In order to better control Tu Ren's thoughts, Ji Qirui continued: "Don't worry, if I have this matter, I won't find out about you, but the premise is that you want to remove this hidden danger, and I can help you. Of course you can do whatever you want, and that is because I won't help you, no matter what kind of problem you have."
Looking at Tu Ren's success in being deceived, Meal Card hurriedly begged for mercy to show his loyalty.
Ji Qirui was a lot happier now, after all, there would be no one faster than him.
At the same time, the government office.
When He Yujin learned about these things, he immediately guessed, "Since he didn't plan it himself, he bought it by someone else. Who else could there be but the old man of his mouth?"
When Song Qian also wanted to echo, someone suddenly came to report that Ji Qirui was in the lobby.
He Yujin immediately walked to Ji Changye's side puzzled and said, "Why is he here again? Didn't you just come here yesterday? Got a clue so soon? So it must be unkind, you and Song Niangzi must be careful, don't be calculated by him." As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will be a thief. There are many people who take them on weekdays, so he and Yujin guessed that this time it was not so simple.
Ji Changye replied, "No matter what, we have to go over and have a look first, so as not to get caught, and it will definitely be trouble at that time, so let's go to the lobby first."
He Yujin and Song Qian both felt that what he said made sense, but just as they were about to go, suddenly Ji Qirui's figure took the initiative to come to them, and He Yujin almost bumped into him.
After calming down, He Yu Jinwan patted the sleeves of his body with disgust, as if he had been stained with a lot of dust.
He came to Song Qian's side and whispered, "I don't think he is good at coming to each other, be careful." His first feeling of Ji Qirui has always been the most accurate, so he said this to Song Qian.
Ji Changye stepped forward and asked, "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come here?" Is there something going on? Let someone tell me, why do you need to run it yourself?" I really didn't expect to say that Cao Cao Cao would arrive, but of course Ji Changye hoped that he wouldn't come to make trouble for himself.
I didn't expect it to be so far.
Ji Qirui didn't want to beat around the bush with them and waste time. He didn't lose anything, so he said directly, "I wonder if the arrival of the assassin has alarmed you? And the prince has heard that the only witness is still locked up by you?" I didn't expect what she asked to be true.
Sure enough, he came for this matter, and He Yujin confirmed the conjecture in his heart, and said to Ji Qirui in a moment of excitement: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows so clearly, could it be that you have seen it with your own eyes? However, the minister remembered that the place where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lived was far away from here, how could he get the news so quickly?" So the only possibility is that someone has a chance to report to Ji Qirui, and maybe the secret guard last night was sent by Ji Qirui.
Listening to the words of Song and He Yujin, Ji Qirui inevitably had some weakness.
But soon he knew that if he fell short at this time, he suddenly put away his weakness and sneered at He Yujin: "Lord Jin is clear, every sentence seems to be reasonable, but every sentence is ignored, I don't know what's going on?"
The implication is that he is nosy with Yuli, and if he continues, don't blame him for being polite.
Before He Yujin had time to defend himself, Ji Qirui's face suddenly changed, looking angry, only to hear him speak, "Could it be that you suspect that this matter has something to do with Prince Ben? If there is no evidence, such nonsense will be punished."
Unexpectedly, he actually shouted to catch the thief, which made Ji Changye and Song Qian even more convinced that Ji Qirui had a ghost, but they couldn't say it openly.
Song Qiantai and Yu Jin interceded and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, how can he have such courage. Dare to doubt His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince, how can he have to deal with the ministers and others. Do you mean, His Royal Highness the Prince? and King Jin, you are also a prince now, how can you not say anything
After thinking about it, you can say it?" Ji Changye also opened his mouth to excuse He Yujin, and pretended to reproach him.
After all, in the final analysis, what He Yujin said was not wrong.
Since Ji Changye had already said it, Ji Qirui couldn't continue to be unrelenting, which made people grasp the handle, so he directly chose to ignore this problem, and then said to Ji Changye: "It has been so long since the theft of the silver taels for disaster relief, and it is definitely not easy to investigate. If we were alone, we would be confused."
Listening to what he said a lot, Ji Changye didn't have the patience to listen, so he vaguely urged, "So what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want me to do? Just command."
Although Song Qian and He Yujin were reluctant, they still agreed.
Seeing that Ji Changye agreed so easily, Ji Qirui was very happy, and then invited them in without any care.
I didn't expect it to be this relatively rare, why did Ji Qirui suddenly become like this? It's really puzzling.
"Sit down." Ji Qixi said to the chair next to him, as if he had regarded himself as the most honorable person here, although it was true, he was still a little skeptical when he said this.
Ji Changye sat down calmly, although he knew that Ji Qirui had bad intentions, but he had no other way, what was the difference between openly disobeying him or provoking the authority of the prince? At that time, if the emperor also blames him, he will definitely be affected.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can say anything directly, no need to beat around the bush." Ji Changye looked at the stiff smile he forced out, and finally couldn't help but speak, otherwise he would be crazy if he looked at it any longer.
Ji Qirui didn't expect Ji Changye to be so straightforward, but what he really thought couldn't be known by them. So she lied and said, "It's just that this matter is too tricky to investigate, and I want to ask the regent, the king of Jin, and the lady of Song if there is anything to do next?"
"It's better to let this kind of thing take its course, after all, some can't be changed, after all, this kind of thing has passed for so many years, and no one knows what happened at the beginning, so we need to follow the time to find clues......" Ji Changye's words came to an abrupt end, he reacted at this time, it turned out that Ji Qirui was suddenly so polite, just to know their next plan.
