Chapter 189 Qi Ming
Shen Yixu looked as if he had lost all hope in life.

Only Lord Shen smiled as if in the spring breeze.

If Shen Yixu hadn't been in awe of his elder brother, he would have probably raised his fist and hit him by now.

When Shen Yixu thought about these bad things, he became unhappy.
He waved his hands with an annoyed look on his face: "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about it! By the way, big brother! I heard that a few more cases have been handed over to the Criminal Justice Department recently?"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yunjin, who was eating cakes, turned his head to look at Lord Shen and asked vaguely: "Case? Is there anything I can help with?"

She felt that she was earning a large sum of money but doing nothing, and she felt a little uneasy about it.

When Lord Shen heard the little girl's voice, his handsome face, which was originally smiling, suddenly darkened. After a long time, he sighed softly and spoke slowly.

It turns out that the capital city has not been peaceful these days!
At first, it was a little beggar who found a body that had died suddenly in a city god temple in the suburbs.

After examination by the coroner, it was found that the body was a young girl, about four or five years old.

The cause of death was asphyxiation.

Originally, the government defined this case as an accident.

But before the government could breathe a sigh of relief, corpses were found one after another in the capital, and the common feature was that they were all young girls! The cause of death was also suffocation!

As the number of cases gradually increased, the government realized that this matter was unusual and transferred it to the Criminal Justice Department!
The case that Shen Yixu just mentioned was the case of missing young children in the capital.

After investigations by the Criminal Justice Department over the past few days, it was found that there are about twenty missing people, about six or seven deaths, and more than ten people are still missing.

Such a hot potato was handed over to the Criminal Justice Department, which gave it a headache!

"I see... Is there anything I can do to help?"

Jiang Yunjin asked tentatively, she still wanted to do her best.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Lord Shen just shook his head and politely declined the girl's kindness.

"This case is a bit tricky, and there are not many useful clues. I don't need you, Xiao Yunjin, for now. If I can use you, I will definitely come to you!"

Now they don’t know where the group of young children are, so even if they want to draw, they are unable to do so!

"Okay, Brother Shen!"

Jiang Yunjin nodded and quickly agreed to the matter.

The atmosphere around them froze for a moment.

"Okay, let's change the subject. By the way, what's the name of the daughter the princess just found?"

Pei Jingnian coughed twice, attracting the attention of several people, and then he hurriedly brought up a topic to ask the people in front of him.

With the new topic guide, several people soon forgot what had happened just now.

"I really don't know what the little girl's name is! But you will find out later. I heard that the princess has sealed off the place from top to bottom, and no one knows what the little girl's original name is!"

The eldest princess can be said to have protected her daughter very well. Until now, even they have never seen the little girl's appearance.

They could understand the eldest princess's caution. Just when Pei Jingnian wanted to say something, a thin voice interrupted their conversation.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Upon hearing that the emperor was coming, several people in the pavilion quickly came out and ran straight to the path in front of them.

"Long live my emperor!"

Jiang Yunjin knelt down with everyone else, shouted loudly, and then kowtowed to the shining corner of clothes in front of him.

"Everyone, please stand up. Today is the eldest princess's family dinner. There are no emperors or ministers, only guests!" After Emperor Xiao Yuanshan finished speaking, there was an immediate burst of cheers, and soon everyone was invited into the house.

As soon as the emperor left, the discussions around him became even louder.

Jiang Yunjin and his companions still felt the constant noise around them, so they decisively chose to rest in the pavilion. They only turned around and walked towards the center of the park after hearing the announcement that the park was about to begin.

When a few people approached, a maid led them to the men's seat.

Jiang Yunjin sat down next to Pei Jingnian.

They sat at a big round table. In addition to Pei Jingnian and the two brothers of the Shen family, there were several young talents and two young boys who were about the same age as Pei Jingnian.

As soon as Pei Jingnian took his seat, the young boy sitting next to him couldn't wait to pull him aside and start whispering to him.

While listening, he took care of Jiang Yunjin and served her tea and water from time to time.

This action successfully made the young boy who was speaking stop talking, and then he looked at the girl being served by Pei Jingnian with a look of horror.

She is a fair and tender little girl!
He's really good-looking! At least he's much prettier than his sister!

When the young boy thought of his sister, he couldn't help but shiver all over and pushed Pei Jingnian.

"Hey, Master Pei! I just went to Mount Wutai! How did you become so strange? Are you possessed by a monster? If I had known this, I should have forced you to go with me!"

The young boy kept muttering to himself, and couldn't help raising his voice as he spoke, so that everyone at the table looked at Pei Jingnian who was sitting next to him.

Hmm? What happened to the Pei family kid?
Faced with everyone's gazes, even Pei Jingnian, who was always calm and composed, couldn't help but blush.

He glared at the other person with an angry look on his face and explained in a low voice.

"Don't talk nonsense! You probably haven't seen the person next to me. This is Sister Yunjin. This is the eldest son of Duke Dingguo Qiming. You can just call him Prince Qi."

Pei Jingnian introduced the two to each other.

Jiang Yunjin was not at all surprised when he heard the other party's identity.

Those who could attend the eldest princess' banquet were either rich or noble, so razor blades were nothing rare.

"Hello, Prince Qi!"

Jiang Yunjin greeted the other party in a soft voice.

Qi Ming originally wanted to say a few more words to Pei Jingnian, but after hearing the words "Sister Yunjin" in his ears, he suddenly felt that they sounded very familiar!

Where on earth had he heard it before?

Soon, he remembered when he had heard it before!
At that time, Pei Jingnian had just returned from outside the Great Wall. He took the other party to talk about the customs and habits of the people outside the Great Wall, and finally told him about the thrills of the journey.

Among them, the words "Sister Yunjin" appear most frequently.

"Oh~ It turns out to be Sister Yunjin!" Qi Ming grinned and called her sister, but Pei Jingnian rolled his eyes in return.

"Can you call her Sister Yunjin? What kind of relationship do you have with her? You should call her Miss Jiang."

Pei Jingnian had a cold face and corrected Qi Ming very seriously.

Seeing this, Qi Ming put away his naughty thoughts, straightened his attitude and called her Miss Jiang. Then he lost his composure and pulled Pei Jingnian and Jiang Yunjin to talk about the scenery along the way.

The Wutai Mountain here is not far from the capital city. It is said that this place is very popular and most of those who come here to make a wish can get what they want.

So, Old Madam Qi was worried about her youngest son who was preparing for the imperial examination, so she took her grandson to the mountains to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures.
