Chapter 24 Late Night Capture
"Quick, there they are!"

Dozens of guards were already chasing them.

Seeing that it was almost impossible to escape, Magistrate Zhou felt cruel and pushed Zhou Ruoxi into the secret passage. Then he threw the baggage to her and shouted urgently: "Go quickly! Go far away!"

"Father!"

Before Zhou Ruoxi could finish her words, Magistrate Zhou struck another brick again.

The mechanism was activated again, and this time, the secret passage was sealed.

Zhou Ruoxi could only watch helplessly as her father's figure gradually disappeared at the entrance of the secret passage, but his worried eyes always fell on her heart.

"Father……"

Zhou Ruoxi held back her tears, gritted her teeth, and walked forward desperately along the secret passage with her baggage.

——She knows that only if she is alive can she be worthy of her father's painstaking efforts.

At this time, beside the well, Magistrate Zhou was surrounded by guards.

Just when Magistrate Zhou was about to explain something, he heard a guard bow his head and say: "Fourth Master Qi, this person... is Magistrate Zhou."

When Magistrate Zhou heard that Ji Ling had come in person, he smiled bitterly and his body had already collapsed.

"Oh? Magistrate Zhou, why are you here late at night?"

Ji Ling stood with his hands behind his hands and glanced sharply at Magistrate Zhou.

Magistrate Zhou gave a wry smile, sighed and asked: "It seems that Fourth Master has been wary of me for a long time and has ordered people to keep an eye on me..."

"So, you also know what heinous crime you have committed. Come, arrest him, and I will interrogate him personally tomorrow morning."

Ji Ling ordered sternly.

"Yes. But..."

The leading guard hesitated for a while, looking embarrassed.

"But what?"

"The kids are a step too late. Zhou Ruoxi has already left through the secret passage. Just now, the kids checked and found that the entrance to the secret passage has been sealed and cannot be opened..."

After hearing this, Ji Ling cast his scrutinizing gaze on Magistrate Zhou and thought for a moment before saying: "The order is strictly enforced when leaving the city, and this person must be found."

"Yes!"

Prefect Zhou knew that the odds were stacked against him, so he closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

Soon, he was kidnapped by Wu Huada.

Qi Ge happened to be wandering outside and saw this scene.

He was so happy that he quickly returned to Ji Yuhan's place and knocked on the door.

Ji Yuhan didn't sleep well. He opened the door and saw Qi Ge. Seeing his happy face, he jokingly said, "What, a girl has agreed to go on a date with you?"

"Exactly, what are you talking about? I'm looking for you to tell you that the fourth master arrested the man named Zhou!"

Qi Ge excitedly told what had just happened.

After hearing this, Ji Yuhan nodded. There was no surprise on his face. Instead, he said: "That man named Zhou held a banquet to entertain his fourth brother so extravagantly. Several strange things have happened recently. I think the fourth brother must have My brother has long been suspicious of him."

"That's fine, let him step in and save me a lot of trouble."

"But in this case, wouldn't all the credit go to the Fourth Master?"

When Qi Ge heard what Ji Yuhan said, he said unwillingly.

"No problem."

Ji Yuhan smiled slightly and seemed not to take this matter to heart.

"We have been busy for a long time, but in the end we have accomplished nothing. The emperor will feel that you, Third Master, are not as good as him again."

Qi Ge muttered, his face full of reluctance.

"Does your third master look like someone who suffers easily?"

Shen Jiangge didn't know when she woke up. She glanced at Qi Ge and said, "Ji Ling is in the Ming Dynasty. The better he is and the more people he welcomes, the greater the danger. Do you think I'm right?"

Qi Ge was able to clear things up in one click, and the haze just now dissipated.

"I just said that the girl is an exquisite person, otherwise why would she be so popular with my third master..." Qi Ge said something casually, causing Ji Yuhan to cough a few times.

Ji Yuhan interrupted Qi Ge and said: "You order people to find Zhou Ruoxi's whereabouts to avoid causing trouble in the future."

"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements."

Qi Ge glanced at the two of them again, smiled mischievously and said: "There are still two hours before sunrise. You continue, continue..."

"Continue what?"

Ji Yuhan rolled his eyes at him angrily, pushed him out of the door, and cursed him in a low voice: "You are the only one who is troublesome."

"It's not for your own good..."

"boom--"

Qi Ge was touched a bit on the nose.

In the room, Ji Yuhan rubbed the tip of his nose and said to Shen Jiangge with some embarrassment: "My brother, my head is a little hard to use. Don't mind."

"I think the matter is almost settled. Return the jade pendant to me. It's time for me to leave."

Singer Shen Jiang stretched out his hand and planned to take the jade pendant and leave.

Ji Yuhan knew that there was no reason to delay her being by his side any longer.

He took out the jade pendant from the box on the side, slowly put it into Shen Jiangge's hand, looked into her eyes and asked softly: "Do you want to leave so soon?"

After listening to Shen Jiangge, his heart trembled slightly.

——Is he reluctant to part with something?

But she didn't dare to think too much, so she could only nodded casually, then said "hmm" and planned to leave.

"If we meet again, will you kill me again?"

Shen Jiangge had just taken a few steps when Ji Yuhan's voice sounded behind her.

Shen Jiangge paused, and the copper lamp stretched her shadow very long.

"I will."

She was cruel and whispered something that even she herself didn't believe.

Ji Yuhan was behind her, his eyes seemed a little disappointed as if the light had been blown out.

He watched from a distance as her figure walked out of the door, turned around the corridor, passed through the flower wall, and disappeared further and further away from his sight.

From beginning to end, she never looked back at him.

But he still stood there, standing like a stone monument.

In the end, Qi Ge couldn't stand it anymore. He pushed Ji Yuhan and said, "I said, if you really like this girl, just ask her to stay. Why torture yourself?"

Ji Yuhan lowered his head and smiled sadly, shook his head and said softly: "The obsession in her heart is too deep, and I still have a lot to do. Perhaps it is best for us to separate like this."

"Okay? So good that they will kill you next time they see you?"

Qi Ge really couldn't understand what these two people were doing.

"No more. By the way, I won't go to the court hearing tomorrow. Sake can handle this."

Ji Yuhan didn't want to talk about him and Shen Jiangge anymore, so he simply changed the subject.

"Okay, okay, anyway, you make wedding dresses for others, and I'm used to it. Tell me, do you have any plans for the next step?"

Qi Ge had followed him for so long and knew that no one else could persuade him of his decision, so he could only sigh and give up.

"Well, I plan to go to Jianxi."

Ji Yuhan smiled and said this.

"Jianxi? There are scholars there who are seeking fame and reputation, what's the point of going there?"

In Qi Ge's impression, although Jianxi is a land of capable people and talented people, most of them are people who have high self-esteem and seek fame and reputation, so naturally it is not attractive to him.

"Go, you will know."

Ji Yuhan didn't say anything, he just smiled and said.
