Silly Girl Allure

Chapter 172 Interrogation
Qiao Yunxi's eyes fell on the cloud that blocked the moonlight. The cloud slightly covered the moonlight, and the shadow of the moon was faintly visible, like a veil covering a girl's face.

The current situation, like the moon behind this layer of clouds, has become confusing.

She sighed softly, "You're right, but there are always accidents in everything. What if...the queen is willing to give in to Jing Yu to marry a Ji Tonglin who has no background and no influence in order to deprive your brothers of power? Just right It’s unknown if they fulfilled them.”

Bu Jinghan smiled wryly, and when he heard the word "queen", there was a faint light of disgust, "I can only hope for this."

"The most important thing is to see how the two of them develop. The most important thing right now is to solve these puzzles one by one. The affairs of Ji's family seem very simple, and they seem to have come to an end. Ji Tonglin's parents were murdered, and now it sounds like Ji Junshang and his wife did it, but...are they just for the property of the Ji family?"

Standing in the corridor, Qiao Yunxi narrowed her eyes slightly. There seemed to be endless desolation in her eyes. Because of the two people who went crazy for their property and killed their brother and sister-in-law, or... I don't know who made it perfect. , for whom did the raised knife and the wedding dress be made.

Money... can it really be worth everything?Don't even care about family affection and shame?
"Go," Qiao Yunxi turned her head, looked into the room, and said to Bu Jinghan, "Go ask that woman."

She strode into the room, the room was still light and dim, just now it was the warmth of you and me, but now her eyes are full of desolation, everywhere is filled with the cold wind and air brought in by the yamen servants and the dark forest left by the weapons at her waist. Cold breath.

Qiao Yunxi looked at the woman sitting by the bed, her hair was slightly disheveled, hanging on her chest and back, and it was hanging there quietly at this moment, like a few curved streams, flowing slowly.

She patted the little person lying on the bed lightly with her hand, her gestures were gentle, and her eyes were full of tender gestures. She lowered her eyes and couldn't see her eyes clearly, but she seemed to have slightly raised her lips, revealing a faint smile. smile.

Hearing the sound, she turned her head slowly. The traces of tears on her delicate face had dried up, but her eyes were slightly red and swollen.

She pulled the thin body of the child, then stood up slowly, walked slowly in front of Qiao Yunxi, lifted her skirt and knelt down on the ground, and said in a low voice: "The criminal woman has seen Princess Ning here, thank you Princess Ning Forgive the sinful woman, but the princess has something to ask, just ask, the sinful woman will know everything, and she will talk endlessly."

Qiao Yunxi nodded, secretly thinking that this is also a transparent person, she sat down on the chair, Bu Jinghan sat beside her, the two quietly looked at the woman kneeling there.

The woman couldn't hear anything for a while, she raised her head slightly, and took a quick look at Qiao Yunxi, only to feel that she was smiling but not smiling, there seemed to be a gleam of light in her eyes, which flashed past.

She trembled in her heart, and hurriedly lowered her head again.

"How much do you know about Jifu?" Finally, Qiao Yunxi asked.

"Sinful woman..." The woman pondered for a while, then she shook her head, "I don't know much, but I heard that old man Ji Junshang mentioned one day that the time for prosperity is coming, and his tone was very complacent, I asked What's going on with him, he didn't explain clearly, he just said... that he invited an expert who could help him get the property of Ji's family. "

"An expert?" Qiao Yunxi narrowed her eyes slightly, and she vaguely felt that the edges of those plots were slipping past her fingertips, trying to catch them, but she couldn't.

Bu Jinghan exchanged glances with her, then shook his head lightly. He really didn't want to talk to this woman. Strictly speaking, he didn't bother to talk to other women except Qiao Yunxi. Here, watching Qiao Yunxi's interrogation, drawing conclusions and finding clues from it.

"Yes," the woman nodded lightly. The dim lights reflected her pale face, as if she had aged several years in a flash. The seat of the mistress, the mother is more expensive than the child, and she can lead a good life with the child, it is unimaginable..."

"Emotional matters, never add any chips and impurities, otherwise, it will only become bitter wine. In the end, if the kindness is cut off, it will hurt others and yourself," Qiao Yunxi said in a leisurely tone, as if blowing outside the door. Night Breeze gently caressed people's hearts.

Bu Jinghan's slightly drooping eyes did not have the beating of candle flames, but there was a moment of intense light, which ignited with Qiao Yunxi's words. He slightly curled up his lips, showing a faint smile, and suddenly felt that he was looking for , it turns out that the most precious treasure in the world is already by my side.

The woman shook slightly, her kneeling body trembled slightly, her voice seemed to contain sobs, "Yes, the princess is right."

"After that, after the Ji family couple passed away, did Ji Junshang say anything?" Qiao Yunxi asked.

"He..." the woman pondered, "At that time, the city was full of plagues, and people were panic-stricken. Ji Junshang also rarely came, and the criminal woman only heard about it later. Ji's family members and his wife had all gone. At that time, I was still afraid for a long time. , I was afraid that someone would come to the door, but I was in a state of panic for a few days, but there was no movement. During this period, Ji Junshang came once, only said to wait patiently for a few more days, and then left in a hurry."

"Has he ever mentioned other things? For example... Has that expert approached him again?" Qiao Yunxi always felt that the "expert" she mentioned was the key.

"I haven't mentioned it before," the woman shook her head, "He just mentioned that although the Ji family and his wife are dead, property is not as easy as he thought at the beginning, and he also said that there should be a token or something like that." He couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked, and he is now trying his best to find that thing."

"Ah, by the way," the woman seemed to think of something, her eyes lit up, and she continued: "The last time he came, he was downcast, and there were scars on his neck. I asked him what's wrong, and he said bitterly. , I don’t know which fierce god he offended, recently, because of bad luck, someone broke into his study and asked him a few questions.”

"Oh?" Qiao Yunxi's eyes flashed, and in his mind, he connected that expert with the person who threatened Ji Junshang.

"Yunxi, do you remember the night we returned to Ji's house," Bu Jinghan reminded.

"Yes," Qiao Yunxi nodded and said, "I remember smelling blood at that time, and there was a wound on Ji Junshang's neck. He said at the time that he accidentally fell and was scratched by a knife."

"That's right," Bu Jinghan said, "Perhaps... before we arrived, Ji Junshang was talking to someone in the study. In his words, someone was threatening him. Scared those people away."

Qiao Yunxi thought it was weird at the time, but because he was anxious to treat Helian Jue's injury, he didn't ask further questions, but the scene at that time was clearly remembered in his mind, and in retrospect, it should indeed be so.

She turned her head and asked the woman, "Have Ji Junshang ever said, what kind of question did you ask him?"

"This..." The woman lowered her head, as if she was thinking about it carefully, after a while, her eyes flashed and she said, "Ah, what he seemed to be saying at the time was that the man asked about Cheng Dajun... the former city lord. "

Qiao Yunxi's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, the matter was not that simple. If it was just a property dispute between the Ji family, why would someone threaten him and ask him about Cheng Dajun?
The Ji family's property has nothing to do with his becoming a maharaja.

Qiao Yunxi had a rough idea in his mind. Looking at the woman's appearance, he knew that if he continued to ask, he would not be able to ask anything. Ji Junshang himself probably was in the dark, and occasionally he came to say a few words to this woman, and she asked again. will know what?
She was about to stand up when there was a sudden commotion outside, someone shouting something.

Qiao Yunxi and Bu Jinghan looked at each other, and were about to get up, someone came to report outside the door: "My lord, my concubine, there is a man outside who says he wants to see Lin Meier."

"I, I'm Lin Meier." The kneeling woman said immediately.

"Let him in." Qiao Yunxi quickly guessed who was coming, and she should have guessed who it was from Lin Meier's appearance.

Bu Jinghan frowned slightly, looking a little impatient, Qiao Yunxi smiled at him, raised his hand and pressed his hand, signaling him to be calm.

At this moment, a figure rushed in from the door. He rushed in and stopped after three or five steps. His eyes were full of eager light, and he fell on the kneeling Lin Meier.

He was wearing a light-colored satin robe, the quality of which was average, and there were some slight wrinkles on the back piece. He was wearing a pair of embroidered boots, which looked brand new, but the stitches looked irregular, and the embroidery on them could barely be considered exquisite. .

He has a handsome appearance, but it is only handsome, his skin is yellowish, his face is slightly rosy due to running, and the corners of his mouth are raised a little, which is raised there.

Qiao Yunxi curled his lips, the appearance of this man was not much different from what he had imagined, it seemed that he was even worse.

When Lin Meier saw him, her eyes became hot and slightly wet, and she called out in a trembling voice, "Li Lang..."

Qiao Yunxi lowered her eyelids and glanced at her eyes. This name... really makes people want to tremble three times.

"Mei'er!" The man also let out a low shout, he ran two steps forward, then as if he had just seen Qiao Yunxi and Bu Jinghan, a glint of pride flashed in his eyes, and he raised his chin and said: "Excuse me, are they Prince Ning and Concubine Ning? Student Li Daoji, please be polite."

He spoke politely, but his expression and movements did not seem to be polite at all. His chin was about to be raised to the sky, and his eyes seemed to grow on the top of his head.

Bu Jinghan frowned, his face was as cold as iron, he was about to say something, Qiao Yunxi rushed ahead of him, with a gentle smile on his face, and no irritation could be heard in his voice, "Li Daoji?"

"Exactly." Li Daoji nodded and said, looking extremely arrogant.

Qiao Yunxi raised her hand and brushed the hair next to her ear, and said to Bu Jinghan after a moment of thought, "My lord, I remember that there are still two places in Tianyang Academy this year. When we left Beijing, my father once told you, Beicheng has outstanding people, so it's not a bad idea to recruit two students from Beicheng, I don't know...do you still remember this?"

As she said, she looked over with a smile. Bu Jinghan looked at her smile. His face, which was originally cold, seemed to be blown by a spring breeze. At that time, everyone was in a hurry to prepare the things to cure the plague, so where was the matter of Tianyang Academy mentioned?Besides, he was never responsible for the enrollment of Tianyang Academy.

But at this moment, he naturally wanted to cooperate with Qiao Yunxi, he nodded after a moment of pondering and said, "Exactly."
