Chapter 244: Zi Yanran's identity
The fishing boats in this area of water are the assets of a fishing village on the shore.
Because the people in the fishing village are surnamed Ji, it is also called Jijia Village.
And her body is named Ji Hong, an orphan girl who grew up eating hundreds of family meals after her parents died when she was a child.
The beggar pursed his lower lip, his eyes glinting with a complicated light.
Did she cross over?
Crossing into the body of a stranger?
"Ji Hong, it's ...... dinner"
Suddenly, a hoarse female voice came from outside, and the beggar stood up vigilantly, lifted the blackout cloth from the window, and looked out carefully.
And behold, an old woman stood on the shore, carrying an iron bucket in her hand, and calling in her direction.
There were living creatures churning in the bucket, splashing a lot of water droplets.
The beggar pursed his lower lip and slowly walked out of the cabin. She doesn't have the memory of this body now, and she doesn't know if the Ji Hong in her mouth is herself.
She lowered her head slightly, covered her eyes with her messy hair, and secretly observed the old woman's demeanor, and found that when she saw herself, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face was more kind.
Keep reaching out to her.
"Little Red, come and ......"
Only then did the beggar determine that the Ji Hong in her mouth was herself.
Since this is the case, then she will continue to live as Ji Hong first.
Ji Hong thought.
The memories in her mind were pressed into the deepest part of her mind.
The old woman's leg seemed to have been injured, and she staggered when she walked, and one or two shrimp and crabs in the iron bucket in her hand also fell out in this swaying.
After Ji Hong saw it, she picked up the fallen shrimp and crab and threw them back into the iron bucket.
The old woman looked at her lovingly, and walked on.
One after the other, the two came to a shanty town not far from the port.
The old houses look very old, the paths between the houses are only a meter wide, the floor is paved with wet stone bricks, and various debris is piled up on both sides.
Mainly dried fish, the fishy smell of seafood is very strong.
Ji Hong carefully avoided a rope of dried fish drying on the top of her head, and followed the old woman to a small bungalow with her head down.
The house looks old on the outside, but inside it is clean.
Ji Hong glanced at her dirty clothes and didn't enter the house as soon as possible.
The old woman put the small iron bucket on the ground, turned to look at her in surprise, "Why don't you come in?" ”
Ji Hong was afraid that she would see something, so she hurriedly entered the house.
It's a hassle not to have the memory of this body.
Ji Hong thought.
The old woman's cooking is very simple, boiled seafood in clear water, and a few pieces of green onion and ginger are added to remove the fish.
On the small stove, there is a small iron basin, in which fresh shrimp and crabs are boiled.
Ji Hong pretended to be shy and sat far away from the old woman for fear that she would see that she was wrong.
The old woman looked at the seafood in the pot and babbled something she didn't understand, and Ji Hong tried to write down every word she said, preparing to learn the language later.
After the meal, the old woman wanted to bathe Ji Hong, but she refused.
Ji Hong carried the hot water that the old woman boiled for her and returned to the small broken boat where she lived.
During the bath, she found that the skin of her body was very white, as if it had not been exposed to the sun for a long time.
The only wound was found in the limbs, which had healed, but the bruises under the skin had not completely disappeared.
What has this body been through?
Ji Hong was shocked.
At the same time, he quickly picked up the oversized clothes next to him and put them on his wet body.
The boat was still swaying with the water.
A few obscene figures quietly boarded the ship.
"Boss, is the dumb man back?"
"Nonsense, if you don't come back, can I let you come?"
"Did you bring the medicine?"
"Bring it, I'll inject her later, and we can ...... again Hey, hey, hey......"
Ji Hong's expression was shocked, and endless killing intent instantly rose in her eyes.
The worn-out towel at hand had become a sharp weapon, and he waited patiently for the arrival of those people.
***
The endless coldness makes the heart tremble.
Lin Chengsheng stood in front of the secret space unique to the Lin family's old mansion, looking at the people standing with their hands behind their backs, and lost his words for a long time.
After a long time, he asked in a dumb voice, "You...... Who are you? Why do you know here? ”
Ji Ning didn't answer the rhetorical question, and his fingers knocked on the round tabletop: "What about the things here?" ”
Lin Chengsheng's pupils shrank, and his fingers trembled slightly.
That thing only the commander knows!
"You...... You are ......"
"Hmm."
Lin Chengsheng's eyes widened, the bloodshot in the whites of his eyes gradually deepened, his breathing was rapid and dull, and it took a long time to come to his senses, "I don't know what you said?" ”
"In troubled times, the Lin family, as one of the forces of the Twelve Round Tables, should know what I am talking about."
Lin Chengsheng gradually clenched his fists, and stared at Ji Ning for a moment before he said, "The thing is not in the Lin family, it has been buried with those three." ”
Lin Chengsheng tried to calm himself down.
Ji Ning turned around and looked at Lin Chengsheng, "They don't know about this, and it's impossible for them to take things away." ”
Lin Chengsheng's fists clenched tighter, his eyes looked at her deeply, and the shock on his face gradually calmed down, "Isn't the commander dead?" ”
"I don't know." Ji Ning's expression became cold, and suddenly his pupils changed, blasting out a certain spiritual power that had probed in.
sneered: "Lin Chengsheng, if you delay any longer, I won't show mercy." ”
Lin Chengsheng felt a pain in his chest, and suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"You ......"
"For Lin Yuanyang's sake, I don't have to reveal your identity as the Ji family's army, but the things must be handed over!"
Lin Chengsheng's face turned pale, and his eyes were full of horror, "You...... How will you know? ”
Ji Ning slowly walked up to Lin Chengsheng and said lightly: "To be precise, your first wife Zi Yanran is a member of the Ji family's army. The person who assassinated her was not the hostile force of the Lin family, but her enemy. ”
Lin Chengsheng's face turned to ashes, with a shocked and helpless expression, "You are also a member of the Ji family's army?" ”
"It's not."
"Then why do you know this?"
Ji Ning smiled, "Speculated." ”
"Zi Yanran encountered two assassinations, the first time she escaped, but her body was poisoned, the second time she didn't escape, and she died accidentally. As a deceased husband, you married your second wife, Li Meifang, less than a year after her death. The outside world suspected you of cheating in marriage, but you didn't let Li Meifang get close to the old mansion, nor did you let her get pregnant and have children. ”
Ji Ning paused when he said this, glanced at him meaningfully, and continued: "Because you suspect the identity of Li Meifang, who has been in frequent contact with you during that time, and you suspect that she has something to do with Zi Yanran's death, so you married her just to find out who killed Zi Yanran. You are afraid that the people behind Li Meifang will be suspicious and will attack your only son, so you will drive Lin Yuanyang out of the house, which can be regarded as protecting him in disguise. ”
Lin Chengsheng paused, as if he didn't expect Ji Ning to guess so accurately, but Ji Ning's smile turned into sarcasm at this moment.
"You have been guarding against Li Meifang for a few years, and when you saw that she really had no contact with the outside world and had been living with you wholeheartedly, you relaxed your vigilance against her, and even felt that you suspected the wrong person and felt guilty about her......"
Lin Chengsheng's body shook a few times in a decadent manner, and he sat back on the ground, "Yes...... I thought I had delayed her youth and that I should compensate her, but I didn't expect her to ......"
The corners of his eyes grew red, and his voice was a little choked.
Ji Ning looked at the loneliness on his face, sighed in his heart, and continued: "Because your attitude towards Lin Yuanyang and Li Meifang is very strange, which makes me have some suspicions, I asked people to investigate the events of the year in detail, especially Zi Yanran......"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Chengsheng had already held his head in his hands and lowered his head with tears in his eyes.
"I didn't protect her...... It's all my fault, it's me who exposed her identity...... I hurt her and my son......"
He was really sad and blamed himself.
Ji Ning saw his guilt for Zi Yanran, and swallowed the words back from his mouth.
Zi Yanran's contact with Lin Chengsheng back then also had a different purpose.
Not only did she know that Lin Chengsheng's ancestor was one of the forces of the Twelve Round Tables, but she also knew that the Lin family had her things in their hands.
A hint of sympathy appeared in Ji Ning's eyes, and after he cried a little quieter, he said, "Zi Yanran's death has little to do with you. ”
Lin Chengsheng was stunned, and suddenly looked up at Ji Ning.
His eyes were red, and his tears had not yet dried.
Ji Ning coughed slightly twice and slowly told the truth he knew.
"In addition to being a member of the Ji Family's Army, Zi Yanran is also a high-level ability member of the Huazhou Alliance's special ability team."
"What?"
Lin Chengsheng was so shocked that his tears shrank back.
Special Ability Team?
High-level Adepts?
How can it be?
Ji Ning's face became a little more serious, and her voice was much colder than just now, "Zi Yanran's identity back then was not simple. I checked how she was assassinated twice, the first time was by the hostile forces of the Ji family's army. The second time is a multi-party force, which shows that Zi Yanran will use her identity to find out an important secret before she will be killed......"
Lin Chengsheng's expression changed greatly.
Ji Ning said lightly: "She should know that the secret she holds will be extinguished, so she told you after the first accident that she was a member of the Ji family's army." ”
Lin Chengsheng was stunned, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
Ji Ning's lips raised slightly, and she didn't care much about it: "Because of her identity, you used the dark forces of the Lin family to protect her and let her live for a few more years." ”
"You ......" Lin Chengsheng was a little angry.
But it is undeniable that the speculation in Ji Ning's mouth is basically correct.
Ji Ning glanced at him, turned around and walked to the round table in the room and stopped, "She must have told you too, don't give the things that the Lin family hid to anyone, including the members of the Ji family army and the three families, right?" ”
Lin Chengsheng's face froze, and he looked at Ji Ning as if he was looking at a demon, with awe and fear in surprise.
"I'm not a member of the Ji family's army, and I don't represent the three families, I want the things that your Lin family has hidden, just to return them to their original owners!"
The cold voice was as firm as if it could not be refused.
Lin Chengsheng only felt that the blood was flowing backwards, and his whole body was like falling into an ice cave, and he was unconscious.
Returning to its original owner?
Is that what he thinks?
She...... She's the original owner?
Today's chapter, this chapter has a lot of words.
Good night~
