Chapter 150 Struggling
Chapter 150 Struggling
Ji Ziqi has repeatedly suggested to the Ji couple that Xiaofeng and Xiaoxing are too young to endure hunger, Xiaoyu is growing up, and Master Jiang is old. In order to avoid starving a few people, let them not have to wait for her to eat together. dinner.
However, Ji Zhongchun and Jiang Ling insisted that it is rare for a family to meet each other. If they can't even have dinner together, there will be fewer chances to meet each other, which is not conducive to the emotional communication between family members.
And whether it is old or young, you can eat something to fill your stomach first, so you don't have to worry about being hungry.
Ji Ziqi couldn't help it, and also understood that even family members, if there is no communication for a long time, the relationship will fade, so he acquiesced to the decision of Ji's parents, and just went home as early as possible every day.
It was a little late to come out from the household department today, and there was a delay in the middle, and it was even later when we returned to Jiang's mansion. Seeing Master Jiang, Fan Mingyan and Ji's family waiting, Ji Ziqi felt extremely guilty:
"Grandpa, grandma, father, mother, Xiaoxue is back. It's a little late today, and it will delay your meal."
Fan Mingyan waved to her: "Xiaoxue, you must be tired again today, come and sit down and eat."
As soon as Master Jiang started, Xiaoyu Xiaofeng couldn't wait to eat.
It seemed that he was really hungry, Ji Ziqi felt pity in his heart, and said to the two of them, "Xiaoyu Xiaofeng must be starving, it's my sister's fault, from now on, my sister will try to come back as soon as possible."
"It's okay, sister." Xiao Yu said vaguely with a mouthful of food in her mouth, "Actually, I'm not too hungry."
This imageless appearance caused Jiang Yi to roll her eyes, "Xiao Yu, pay attention to your manners, your grandmother never told you about you today, so you forgot it so soon?
Anyway, you swallow the food in your mouth before answering, what does it look like now?You are not young anymore, you will be talking about your husband's family in two years!
You look like this, which mother-in-law dares to want you? "
Xiao Yu secretly stuck out her tongue, lowered her head and continued to work hard.
Ji Zhongchun smiled and acted as a peacemaker, "Hehe, it's all right, let's eat soon, the food is cold!"
"Sister, Xiaofeng is indeed a little hungry." Xiaofeng said honestly, "However, Xiaofeng came back a little late today."
"Oh, why? But he couldn't recite the book, so he was detained by the master?" Ji Ziqi teased him with a smile.
Xiaofeng put down the chopsticks in his hand, and replied seriously: "Sister, no! The homework left by the master, Xiaofeng is always the first.
When he was about to leave the academy, brother Ah Chen said he wanted to play hide-and-seek with Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng hasn't played for a long time, but seeing that brother Ah Chen is such an adult and still likes to play children's games, he must have played too little before, so he agreed to him, so it was too late. "
A Chen is a 16-year-old boy sent by Du Le.
Thinking of the attack on the way back, Ji Ziqi's heart skipped a beat, and he pretended not to ask, "Did you hide it and he looked for it?"
"Yes, yes! Eldest sister, how do you know?" Xiaofeng said excitedly, "But Brother Chen is really stupid. Xiaofeng hid for a long time before he found Xiaofeng."
"It's not that brother Ah Chen is stupid, it's that our Xiaofeng is too strong." Ji Ziqi smiled and praised him, but he was secretly startled, thinking that he would ask Ah Chen to clarify later.
Xiaofeng, who was praised, grinned happily, his little face flushed with excitement.
Xiao Yu at the side heard this and looked at Ji Ziqi thoughtfully.
"Xiao Yu, do you have something to tell sister?" Ji Ziqi asked.
Xiao Yu looked around at the people at the table, and said hesitantly, "Sister, I'll talk to you later when I go to your garden."
Could it be?Ji Ziqi's back felt cold for a while, and he looked at Xiao Yu with a questioning look in his eyes.
Xiao Yu seemed to understand the deep meaning in her eyes, and nodded slightly.
Ji Ziqi confirmed his guess, and was even more uneasy at the moment, unable to taste the food.
Jiang Ling watched the interaction between the two, and Ji Ziqi's suddenly pale and bewildered face, and frowned slightly.
After dinner, Ji Ziqi called Ah Chen over, with a serious expression on his pale face, "A Chen, what happened in Xiaofeng Academy today, please tell carefully, you must not hide anything!"
"Yes! Miss Ji." Ah Chen saluted and said, "Today when school was about to leave, I was waiting for Master Xiaofeng outside the academy, and accidentally found two strange middle-aged men carrying long swords. Standing not far away, staring at the entrance of the academy.
The imposing manner is cold, it can be seen that there is some effort in the body, the face is stiff, it should be a simple disguise, afraid of being recognized.
The younger one remembered Chief Du's confession that if you encounter someone with kung fu who appears for no reason, you must be careful.
So he pretended to play games with Master Xiaofeng and let him hide.
When they came out of the academy gate, the two also found the little one, and the little one and him confronted each other silently for a while.
After about half an hour later, the two left. "
Ah Chen continued: "Those two people obviously came towards Master Xiaofeng, but they were so blatant, it shows that they just wanted to give a warning.
Miss Ji, what happened?Are you also experiencing the same problem? "
Ji Ziqi nodded, didn't say much, and let Ah Chen go down first.
She bit her lip, clenched her hands tightly, her whole body was stiff, and she staggered back to her garden.
In the room, Jiang Ling and Xiao Yu were waiting for her.
Xiao Yu made an appointment with her, so it's not surprising here, but why did Jiang Ling come with her?
Ji Ziqi was afraid that Jiang Ling would discover her abnormality, so he hurriedly took a few deep breaths, and after suppressing the upset in his heart, he pretended to look at Jiang Ling in surprise, and asked:
"Mother, it's so late, you're still here, what's the matter?"
"You and Xiao Yu were playing charades at dinner, mother doesn't know?" Jiang Lingbai glanced at her, "If you have something to say, let mother know!"
"Mother," Ji Ziqi was slightly startled, and there was some hesitation in Qingyan's eyes.
Jiang Ling's tone was firm: "Xiaoxue, if you encounter any difficulties, you should tell them. Although mother can't help you, she can talk to you and comfort you;
If you encounter any danger, you should speak out so that the family can take precautions early. "
Hearing Jiang Ling's words, Ji Ziqi's suppressed annoyance surged up again because of what happened to Xiaofeng just now, she fixedly looked at Jiang Ling, only to see Jiang Ling's eyes were piercing like she had never seen before.
A mother is strong!This sentence came to Ji Ziqi's mind, and he couldn't help but nodded, "Xiao Yu, first tell me about the situation you encountered today."
Xiao Yu said: "After leaving the academy today, Sister Aru walked with me for a while, then suddenly took my hand and whispered in my ear, telling me not to look back and walk quickly.
I asked her what happened, and she said that two people had been following us from the hospital discharge gate, and it had been a long way.
And she felt that those two people had kung fu, although they were not murderous, but in this special period, it is better to be careful. "
Xiao Yu went on to say: "Just after hearing what Xiaofeng said, I wondered if he had encountered the same problem, so Brother Chen hid him.
Sister, I just saw you ask me with your eyes, your expression is wrong, did you meet such a person today? "
Ji Ziqi said: "Well, when passing the alley at the intersection, the carriage stopped suddenly. It turned out that two men in black rushed out of the alley, and they drew their swords and chopped at Du Le."
Xiao Yu exclaimed: "Is that sister all right? What about Brother Du Le, is he all right?"
Jiang Ling had just heard Xiao Yu finished speaking, her already pale face was even paler now, she pulled Ji Ziqi away, and said anxiously: "Xiaoxue, let mother see if there is any injury or bump?"
While looking her up and down, she scolded, "You kid, it's such a big thing, and you come back as if nothing happened."
"Mother, I'm fine. Those people just wanted to scare us this time." Ji Ziqi grabbed Jiang Ling's hand, and the intertwined hands trembled a little. I don't know if it was her shaking or Jiang Ling shaking.
"Mother, let's sit down and talk." Ji Ziqi said.
Jiang Ling was still immersed in fear, her chest was throbbing violently, and she took several breaths before slowly recovering.
Ji Ziqi's heart was also in turmoil. If those people only targeted her, she would be afraid, but she would have to face it.
As I said to Du Le before, her existence is always a hidden danger for those people.
Instead of living in worry all the time, it is better to take the initiative to expose those people.
But it's different now. Although she thought that those people would use the Ji family to threaten her, she never thought that it would be so fast.
Maybe it's not just Xiaoyu Xiaofeng, Ji Zhongchun's Bu Xing, Jiang Ling who stayed in Jiang's mansion, maybe someone came to stare at him openly.
It's just that the people sent by Du Feng were worried that they were afraid and didn't tell them.
All this shows that the people behind the scenes are blatantly warning her to stop checking the ledger, otherwise, the next time, it will never be as simple as a warning.
At this moment, Ji Ziqi had the idea of retreating.
She can gamble with her own safety, but she can't drag the Ji family to gamble with her.
No matter if something happened to Xiaoyu or Xiaofeng, or any of the Ji family, she couldn't imagine losing them.
Ji Ziqi looked at Jiang Ling's bloodless face. If something happened to their four siblings, she couldn't imagine how distraught the Ji couple would be.
Jiang Ling seemed to have thought of this too, and her hands trembled more and more.
"Mother," Ji Ziqi patted her hand lightly, "I'm going to give up."
Jiang Ling and Xiao Yu were surprised at the same time, "Give up?" "Aren't you going to help the young master?"
"No one is more important than you!" Ji Ziqi said firmly: "This can only make him feel sorry."
"Sister..." Xiao Yu looked at her with a complicated expression, her delicate face was full of sadness, so the young master would be more pitiful, wouldn't he?
"Xiaoxue," Jiang Ling tugged on Ji Ziqi's hand, causing her to turn her head slightly, with fear in her eyes, but she looked straight into her eyes, "You told mother before that whether you help Master Su or not, , when our family is in danger, mother is already mentally prepared.
In other words, since the day your talent was revealed, Mother already knew about it.
But it's not your fault!
Even without you, there is light rain and light wind.
Xiao Yu was born so beautiful, without protection she would cause trouble sooner or later.
Xiaofeng's ability to never forget what he sees and what he hears sooner or later will arouse the coveting of those who care about him.
If you want to say whose fault it is, you can only blame your mother for giving birth to you too well.
Our family has long been in a position where we can only advance but not retreat.
Xiaoxue, mother doesn't understand what you do, but mother understands, as long as you have such talent, as long as you are still there, the enemies hiding in the dark will not be at ease for a day.
Are you going to trade your own life for the safety of our family?
Even if you change, how long can such security be maintained?You are gone, how long will Du Feng protect us?How long can the Lin family protect them?
Ten years at most, and ten years later, Xiao Yu is still in full bloom, Xiao Feng is showing his brilliance, and Xiao Xing has just grown up.
Unless Xiao Yu can marry a powerful husband's family, but with Xiao Yu's temperament, do you think she is suitable for a high-end compound?
If you marry her to such a family in order to protect the Ji family, my mother will not be willing.
So Xiaoxue, mother is not a fool, not to mention that mother will not sacrifice you in exchange for the safety of the family, even if mother is willing, are you willing to leave us?Are you willing to leave Du Feng? "
"Mother..." The worry in Jiang Ling's eyes gradually turned into firmness and distress, which made Ji Ziqi's eyes turn red.
Jiang Ling held her hand tightly, "Xiaoxue, if you shrink back from what you are doing now, the danger will always exist.
If you continue to move forward and find out the people hiding in the dark, it will be done once and for all!
Xiaoxue, you are a smart kid, I believe you must know how to do it, which is the best way for everyone! "
"Well," Xiao Yu nodded beside her, "Sister, I agree with what Mother said. Although I can't help you, I don't want to hold you back.
At most, I will be honest in the future. Before the matter is resolved, after school, I will never go out casually, and come back with Sister Aru obediently. "
Jiang Ling glanced at her, thinking that I will settle the matter with you later, this girl.
"Xiaoxue, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, mother doesn't believe that they dare to do it in broad daylight, so that your father must come back before dark, and Xiaofeng will come back as soon as he leaves the academy.
As for your grandfather, I heard that His Majesty sent someone to watch secretly, so it shouldn't be a big problem.It's you who should be worried the most when you come back so late every day. "
"Mother, Xiao Yu, let me think again." Ji Ziqi nodded.
She didn't know what Jiang Ling said.
Just like when she was in the south, facing the poison Xi Liemo handed over, she chose to swallow it to temporarily suppress her illness.
Save this moment first, so that you have more time to plan for the future.
Otherwise, if you don't even have your life now, what future is there to talk about?
What's more, what is in front of her now is the lives of Ji's family, her relatives, and her pillars!
If they can't even protect them, what is the point of what she has done and what she wants to do?
Ji Ziqi tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep peacefully all night.
In a trance, the sky soon dawned.
Ji Ziqi got up from the bed, her mind was still dizzy, everything that happened yesterday was still in her mind.
She shook her head twice and patted her face hard, only to feel better.
Jiang Ling's familiar voice came from outside, "Xiaoxue, are you awake?"
It seems to be Jiang Ling's habit to wake up his children one by one every morning.
In fact, Ji Ziqi's siblings have already formed a biological clock, and they will wake up naturally when the time comes.
But Jiang Ling still insisted on doing this. She said, Mother just wanted to get closer to her children. When you grow up, become relatives and get married, Mother wants to tell you to get up early, but there is no such opportunity.
When Ji Ziqi thought that one day, she would never hear the familiar voice waking her up again, her eyes turned red quickly.
-
When she came to Hubu, she looked pale and haggard, which shocked everyone.
"Miss Ji, what happened to you last night?" Someone asked hesitantly.
Ji Ziqi raised his head suddenly, his eyes were like lightning, "How do you know?"
"Lord Lin and Master Fan sent someone over this morning to say that something happened last night and they will come later today." The man flinched under her gaze, "I see that you look bad, so I made a random guess. .”
Ji Ziqi was shocked: "What happened?"
"I heard that it was the horse of the carriage where the two adults were riding, and I was startled by a few men in black who suddenly appeared.
The two adults are fine, they just fell down, but the two adults are not young, so they may still be injured a little bit. "
The man said: "The two gentlemen said they would come over later, and they sent someone to pass on the message because they were afraid that Ms. Ji would be worried."
Ji Ziqi was startled and angry. Those people not only threatened the Ji family, but were they going to implicate the Lin family, as well as the nominal ancestor Jiang Lingwai's family whom he had just met once?
Ji Ziqi, who was sitting in the ledger room, couldn't calm down for a long time. She just sat there for almost an hour, and the ledger in front of her still hadn't turned a single page.
The whole person fell into a daze, and did not wake up until someone outside said: "Miss Ji, Master Lin and Master Fan are here".
Ji Ziqi got up quickly and went straight to Mr. Lin.
There were not only Lord Lin, but also Fan Mingyi in the room. Before Ji Ziqi came, the two seemed to be talking about something, with serious expressions on their faces.
"Xiaoxue has seen Grandfather and Grand Uncle."
"Xiaoxue, I heard that you were also attacked last night, are you okay?" When Master Lin saw her, he hurriedly stood up and walked towards Ji Ziqi, regardless of the pain in his old waist.
Ji Ziqi supported him, "Xiaoxue is fine, are you okay, Grandpa?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I just flashed my waist." Lord Lin heheed twice, and then turned angry again, "The gang of thieves are really hateful, my grandfather will go to see His Majesty later, and tell His Majesty what happened yesterday, Your Majesty please call the shots!"
"Uncle Lin, is this too trivial to make a big deal? There are many people from the Jianghu in Beijing. It may be just a coincidence that they rushed out yesterday and surprised our horses." Fan Mingyi persuaded.
Fan Mingyan is Mrs. Lin's eldest daughter-in-law. As her younger brother, Fan Mingyi called Mr. Lin as Uncle Lin according to the etiquette.
Even in the official office of the Ministry of Household Affairs, if no outsiders were present, Fan Mingyi would always call him that.
Master Lin mentioned it a few times at the beginning, and Fan Mingyi also changed his words a few times, but for some reason it slowly changed back.
Master Lin saw that he had a clear distinction between public and private, and never called a miss when outsiders were around, so he gave up.
Master Lin snorted coldly: "The old man and you are a coincidence, but what about Xiaoxue, she killed him directly with a sword!"
Fan Ming said, "Xiaoxue is now involved in the Sorcerer's Association and the Food and Grass Administration of the Ministry of War. It's hard to say whether these two parties offended people, so she was attacked."
"Hmph, I don't care, anyway, Xiaoxue is helping the court now, and the court has the responsibility to protect her safety! No matter what, I have to report this matter to His Majesty!"
The more Mr. Lin talked, the more angry he became, "I'm going to the palace to face the saint now!"
"Master!" Ji Ziqi shouted, before he had time to say a word, Lord Lin got up and left quickly, his movements were so quick that no trace of his waist being flashed could be seen at all.
Ji Ziqi and Fan Mingyi could only watch him leave in dumbfounded.
"It seems that Uncle Lin really loves you!" Fan Mingyi said with emotion.
Ji Ziqi was still concerned about Mr. Lin's back injury, and didn't listen to Fan Mingyi's words, so he whispered to himself, "I don't know if the old man walks so fast, is there something wrong with his back."
"Xiaoxue," Fan Mingyi called her softly, seeing Ji Ziqi turned his head to look at him, he said seriously, "Your grandfather went to the palace to find His Majesty, but my uncle still doesn't agree.
It's not because my uncle is threatened, but because the enemy is in the dark and I'm in the light, so it's impossible to guard against!
Your great-grandfather and great-uncle are getting old, so it’s not a big deal if something happens, anyway, it’s enough to live.
But your great-grandfather’s family has grandsons and great-grandchildren, and your great-uncle’s family also has grandsons, and you, Xiaoxue, have younger brothers and sisters.
If something happened to these juniors, my uncle would feel really sorry! "
"Granduncle, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble!" Ji Ziqi apologized, "Xiaoxue is also thinking whether it is better to give up."
"It's the best for Xiaoxue to think like this. My uncle doesn't force you, I just hope you think more for those juniors!" Fan Mingyi nodded, then put on a regretful expression, and sighed:
"But Xiaoxue, you are an extraordinary woman. You should also consider your own situation. No matter what decision you make, tell your grand uncle, and your grand uncle will definitely support you."
Ji Ziqi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, grand-uncle!"
Fan Mingyi's words made Ji Ziqi even more withdrawn. She sat in the ledger room and passed the afternoon in a daze.
Later, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I said goodbye to everyone in the household department and left early.
Seeing her come out so early for the first time, Du Le was a bit surprised, Ji Ziqi looked tired and said: "Du Le, let's go to Ji's mansion now."
"Yes!" Du Le replied: "After arriving at Ji's Mansion, I will ask Lao Li to send a letter to Du An Du Xi, telling them to come here earlier."
Ji Ziqi hummed lightly and got into the carriage.
When she arrived at Ji's Mansion, Du An and Du Xi were on their way to Ji's Mansion. Not long after Du Le told Lao Li to go out, they came back together.
"Miss Ji, I heard from Du Le that you were attacked last night, are you okay!" Du An asked quickly when he saw her.
"I'm fine." Ji Ziqi said: "I was not the only one who had an accident last night, my younger sister Xiao Yu, my second younger brother Xiao Feng, as well as Mr. Lin, Minister of the Household Department, and Mr. Fan, Minister of the Household Department.
However, those people did not launch an attack. Lord Lin and Lord Fan were startled and slightly injured, while Xiaoyu and Xiaofeng just followed from a distance without concealing their whereabouts, and they were all just warnings for the time being.
I guess, if the matter of the general ledger continues to be investigated, it will not be as simple as a warning next time!So, I want to give up. "
Duan looked at her drooping eyes due to fatigue and powerlessness, with a look of fear on her face, thinking that no matter how powerful she was, she was always a weak little lady, and he felt pity in his heart, and said softly:
"Miss Ji, why don't you listen to what Du Xi and I have found before making a decision?"
Ji Ziqi raised his head and opened his eyes, his originally dim pupils revealed a little light, "Is there any news?"
"Yes, let's talk about Niang Qin's side first." Du Xi said, "I sent someone to investigate the suspected injustice cases in the past 30 years, mainly the cases where there were married women or little girls in the family.
About five or six of them were relatively sensational at the time, but none of them could be equated with Qin Niang now.
If Qin Niang was just an ordinary-looking woman, it might be hard to tell.
But her appearance is so good, there are married women and girls in the five or six cases, but none of them can match her in appearance.
From this, it can be concluded that Qin Niang's approach to those officials, or their family members, was not for revenge, but for information.
In other words, Qin Niang is a secret agent!
Because she is a secret agent, and she has been lurking in Li country for nearly ten years, but she has not been discovered, which shows that the people who contact her are very cautious, and the way or place of passing the news is also very hidden.
Therefore, it has not yet been found out which country sent the spies.hehe. "
Ji Ziqi pondered for a while when he heard the words: "Can we start the investigation from Xiqiang?"
"Why Xiqiang?" Du An asked, "Ms. Qin looks more like the people from Wuyi."
"I don't have any specific evidence for the time being. However, when I was in Nanlin, I met a small house owner surnamed Lian. The person behind him is Xi Liemo, the king of Xiqiang."
Ji Ziqi said: "The events that happened at that time showed that from the time I left the capital to Southern Qin, Xi Liemo knew everything about it like the palm of his hand.
Then it means that he must have someone in the capital, and he has been hiding for a long time.
And now, it happened that the shopkeeper of Linxianju was also surnamed Lian, and it happened that the owner of Linxianju, Qin Niang, was also a secret agent.
I'm not sure there is necessarily a connection between the two.But since it is temporarily impossible to find out which country Qin Niang sent as a spy, it is better to start with Xiqiang first! "
Du Xi said: "Miss Ji's words are also reasonable. Since there are no more clues for the time being, let's check from the people around Qin Niang. The first one is naturally the shopkeeper. Hehe!"
"Let's talk about Qin Niang's matter for now." Du An said: "Du Xi, you can talk about the ghost in the household department."
"During these days, I sent people to investigate several servants and inspectors of the household investigation department. For the time being, everything is as usual, and I can't find any problems." Du Xi said: "However, there is a little coincidence. Hehe."
"What's a coincidence?" Ji Ziqi asked.
Du Xi said: "A few inspectors often go to Linxianju to get together. Ha ha."
"Linxianju?" Ji Ziqi exclaimed, "You mean that they may have colluded with Qin Niang, or that Qin Niang's behind-the-scenes country may be related to this disaster relief and corruption?"
Duan said, "Yes, Miss Ji."
"If this is the case, will the checking of the general ledger be impossible to stop?" Ji Ziqi murmured.
"One more thing, Miss Ji!" Duan said: "Have you ever thought about why so many of you encountered warnings during the daytime at the same time?"
"I don't want me to investigate any further!" Ji Ziqi said.
Du Xi hehe said: "Yes, but there is one more point that Ms. Ji may have overlooked. Hehe."
Ji Ziqi asked, "Which point?"
"These are the people who came to warn you, where did they come from?" Duane said.
Ji Ziqi said: "Jianghu?"
Du An said: "That's right, Jianghu. The matter of checking the general ledger is almost a semi-public matter, but these people actually invited people from the Jianghu to intimidate them.
First, he is very familiar with the people in the Jianghu; second, those people in the Jianghu came here because they knew that they were only here to frighten people, not to kill people under His Majesty's nose and to oppose His Majesty! "
Ji Ziqi was stunned, she really hadn't thought about it.
Su Xiaonian's death was because he found something, and the other party did not hesitate to take risks.
But she didn't find anything now, so the other party asked someone to intimidate her, which firstly showed that they were afraid of her, and secondly, that they were also timid.
This is the capital city, if you kill someone who is clearly helping His Majesty at the foot of the Emperor, wouldn't that slap His Majesty in the face?
If His Majesty the Emperor gets angry, there will be a bloodbath in the whole Jianghu. Even if those people love money, they don't want to die.
After all, her situation is different from Su Xiaonian's.
Su Xiaonian himself is a killer and has enemies, and he is secretly working for His Majesty the Emperor. If something happens, His Majesty the Emperor will not be able to investigate clearly no matter how angry he is.
But she is different.She is young, and she has never done anything harmful to nature. Even if she has some conflicts with the members of the Magicians Association, she will not go to the point of buying a murderer.
With this thought, most of the worries in Ji Ziqi's heart disappeared.
Du Xi said: "This court is very familiar with people in Jianghu..."
"The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment!" Ji Ziqi blurted out.
Du An said: "In terms of familiarity, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is definitely more familiar than the Ministry of War. After all, the Ministry of Criminal Justice came to specialize in criminal cases, and every day it comes into contact with people from the world. Although most of them are second-rate people, there are also some genuine master."
Ji Ziqi said: "I once heard a senior say that as long as the two sides do not go too far, the imperial court and the rivers and lakes have always been incompatible, but if you kill someone who should not be killed, the imperial court will never let the other party go. of;
In addition, if there is something in the imperial court that cannot be solved by formal means, it will entrust people in the rivers and lakes to solve it. "
Du Xi said: "Miss Ji is right. So in terms of familiarity, the Ministry of War is not as good as the Ministry of Punishment. People in the Jianghu fight alone, but they don't obey orders when they fight, and they don't have team spirit. Those in the Ministry of Military Affairs dislike it the most.
However, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs often has to rely on people in the world to solve cases, and instead has many personal relationships.hehe. "
Ji Ziqi said: "You mean to say that behind the embezzlement of disaster relief money, there are people from the Ministry of Punishment involved?"
Du An said: "Not only is there, but this person's official position is not low."
Ji Ziqi said: "If the ghosts in the household department are related to Linxianju, does that mean that the punishment department is also related to Linxianju?"
Du Xi: "Yes, Miss Ji, hehe."
Du An said: "Miss Ji, behind the embezzlement of disaster relief money, the enemy country, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Punishment have been involved. Whether it is investigated or not, Miss Ji will be involved.
They are issuing the warning now in the hope that, Miss Ji, you will give up investigating this matter for the time being so as to give them time to destroy the evidence.
But whether it is Miss Ji or Miss Ji's family members, they will be a thorn in their hearts, making them restless.
If I were the person behind the scenes, I would definitely wait for the limelight to pass and find a good time to wipe out Miss Ji's family so as to avoid future troubles.
Therefore, this matter now has to be investigated! "
Ji Ziqi was startled when he heard that.
Du An breathed heavily, and Du Xi continued: "Miss Ji, not only do we need to investigate now, but we also need to investigate more thoroughly. It's not easy to investigate on the surface, so we can turn this matter from the open to the dark!
Now everyone knows that Ms. Ji was frightened yesterday and she wanted to retire, and Ms. Ji just took this opportunity to reciprocate.
On the surface, he pretended to give up but was unable to give up due to the emperor's order, so he had to put on a show, and secretly wrote down the problematic places to find out the problem.hehe. "
Ji Ziqi's face remained pale, he bit his lower lip tightly, "Okay, I understand."
If I were the person behind the scenes, I would definitely wipe out the Ji family to avoid future troubles!These words exploded in her ears like thunder!
That's right, if she wants to quit, she needs the other party's permission!If the consequence of retreating is that the other party is merciless, how can you retreat?
When the limelight of this matter has passed, His Majesty the Emperor will no longer pay attention to it, and when he loses this layer of protection, that will be the real dangerous time!
You can't retreat, you can only move forward!Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, you can only move forward!
After thinking about all this, Ji Ziqi slowly exhaled the suffocation in his chest, showing a firm expression.
(End of this chapter)
Ji Ziqi has repeatedly suggested to the Ji couple that Xiaofeng and Xiaoxing are too young to endure hunger, Xiaoyu is growing up, and Master Jiang is old. In order to avoid starving a few people, let them not have to wait for her to eat together. dinner.
However, Ji Zhongchun and Jiang Ling insisted that it is rare for a family to meet each other. If they can't even have dinner together, there will be fewer chances to meet each other, which is not conducive to the emotional communication between family members.
And whether it is old or young, you can eat something to fill your stomach first, so you don't have to worry about being hungry.
Ji Ziqi couldn't help it, and also understood that even family members, if there is no communication for a long time, the relationship will fade, so he acquiesced to the decision of Ji's parents, and just went home as early as possible every day.
It was a little late to come out from the household department today, and there was a delay in the middle, and it was even later when we returned to Jiang's mansion. Seeing Master Jiang, Fan Mingyan and Ji's family waiting, Ji Ziqi felt extremely guilty:
"Grandpa, grandma, father, mother, Xiaoxue is back. It's a little late today, and it will delay your meal."
Fan Mingyan waved to her: "Xiaoxue, you must be tired again today, come and sit down and eat."
As soon as Master Jiang started, Xiaoyu Xiaofeng couldn't wait to eat.
It seemed that he was really hungry, Ji Ziqi felt pity in his heart, and said to the two of them, "Xiaoyu Xiaofeng must be starving, it's my sister's fault, from now on, my sister will try to come back as soon as possible."
"It's okay, sister." Xiao Yu said vaguely with a mouthful of food in her mouth, "Actually, I'm not too hungry."
This imageless appearance caused Jiang Yi to roll her eyes, "Xiao Yu, pay attention to your manners, your grandmother never told you about you today, so you forgot it so soon?
Anyway, you swallow the food in your mouth before answering, what does it look like now?You are not young anymore, you will be talking about your husband's family in two years!
You look like this, which mother-in-law dares to want you? "
Xiao Yu secretly stuck out her tongue, lowered her head and continued to work hard.
Ji Zhongchun smiled and acted as a peacemaker, "Hehe, it's all right, let's eat soon, the food is cold!"
"Sister, Xiaofeng is indeed a little hungry." Xiaofeng said honestly, "However, Xiaofeng came back a little late today."
"Oh, why? But he couldn't recite the book, so he was detained by the master?" Ji Ziqi teased him with a smile.
Xiaofeng put down the chopsticks in his hand, and replied seriously: "Sister, no! The homework left by the master, Xiaofeng is always the first.
When he was about to leave the academy, brother Ah Chen said he wanted to play hide-and-seek with Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng hasn't played for a long time, but seeing that brother Ah Chen is such an adult and still likes to play children's games, he must have played too little before, so he agreed to him, so it was too late. "
A Chen is a 16-year-old boy sent by Du Le.
Thinking of the attack on the way back, Ji Ziqi's heart skipped a beat, and he pretended not to ask, "Did you hide it and he looked for it?"
"Yes, yes! Eldest sister, how do you know?" Xiaofeng said excitedly, "But Brother Chen is really stupid. Xiaofeng hid for a long time before he found Xiaofeng."
"It's not that brother Ah Chen is stupid, it's that our Xiaofeng is too strong." Ji Ziqi smiled and praised him, but he was secretly startled, thinking that he would ask Ah Chen to clarify later.
Xiaofeng, who was praised, grinned happily, his little face flushed with excitement.
Xiao Yu at the side heard this and looked at Ji Ziqi thoughtfully.
"Xiao Yu, do you have something to tell sister?" Ji Ziqi asked.
Xiao Yu looked around at the people at the table, and said hesitantly, "Sister, I'll talk to you later when I go to your garden."
Could it be?Ji Ziqi's back felt cold for a while, and he looked at Xiao Yu with a questioning look in his eyes.
Xiao Yu seemed to understand the deep meaning in her eyes, and nodded slightly.
Ji Ziqi confirmed his guess, and was even more uneasy at the moment, unable to taste the food.
Jiang Ling watched the interaction between the two, and Ji Ziqi's suddenly pale and bewildered face, and frowned slightly.
After dinner, Ji Ziqi called Ah Chen over, with a serious expression on his pale face, "A Chen, what happened in Xiaofeng Academy today, please tell carefully, you must not hide anything!"
"Yes! Miss Ji." Ah Chen saluted and said, "Today when school was about to leave, I was waiting for Master Xiaofeng outside the academy, and accidentally found two strange middle-aged men carrying long swords. Standing not far away, staring at the entrance of the academy.
The imposing manner is cold, it can be seen that there is some effort in the body, the face is stiff, it should be a simple disguise, afraid of being recognized.
The younger one remembered Chief Du's confession that if you encounter someone with kung fu who appears for no reason, you must be careful.
So he pretended to play games with Master Xiaofeng and let him hide.
When they came out of the academy gate, the two also found the little one, and the little one and him confronted each other silently for a while.
After about half an hour later, the two left. "
Ah Chen continued: "Those two people obviously came towards Master Xiaofeng, but they were so blatant, it shows that they just wanted to give a warning.
Miss Ji, what happened?Are you also experiencing the same problem? "
Ji Ziqi nodded, didn't say much, and let Ah Chen go down first.
She bit her lip, clenched her hands tightly, her whole body was stiff, and she staggered back to her garden.
In the room, Jiang Ling and Xiao Yu were waiting for her.
Xiao Yu made an appointment with her, so it's not surprising here, but why did Jiang Ling come with her?
Ji Ziqi was afraid that Jiang Ling would discover her abnormality, so he hurriedly took a few deep breaths, and after suppressing the upset in his heart, he pretended to look at Jiang Ling in surprise, and asked:
"Mother, it's so late, you're still here, what's the matter?"
"You and Xiao Yu were playing charades at dinner, mother doesn't know?" Jiang Lingbai glanced at her, "If you have something to say, let mother know!"
"Mother," Ji Ziqi was slightly startled, and there was some hesitation in Qingyan's eyes.
Jiang Ling's tone was firm: "Xiaoxue, if you encounter any difficulties, you should tell them. Although mother can't help you, she can talk to you and comfort you;
If you encounter any danger, you should speak out so that the family can take precautions early. "
Hearing Jiang Ling's words, Ji Ziqi's suppressed annoyance surged up again because of what happened to Xiaofeng just now, she fixedly looked at Jiang Ling, only to see Jiang Ling's eyes were piercing like she had never seen before.
A mother is strong!This sentence came to Ji Ziqi's mind, and he couldn't help but nodded, "Xiao Yu, first tell me about the situation you encountered today."
Xiao Yu said: "After leaving the academy today, Sister Aru walked with me for a while, then suddenly took my hand and whispered in my ear, telling me not to look back and walk quickly.
I asked her what happened, and she said that two people had been following us from the hospital discharge gate, and it had been a long way.
And she felt that those two people had kung fu, although they were not murderous, but in this special period, it is better to be careful. "
Xiao Yu went on to say: "Just after hearing what Xiaofeng said, I wondered if he had encountered the same problem, so Brother Chen hid him.
Sister, I just saw you ask me with your eyes, your expression is wrong, did you meet such a person today? "
Ji Ziqi said: "Well, when passing the alley at the intersection, the carriage stopped suddenly. It turned out that two men in black rushed out of the alley, and they drew their swords and chopped at Du Le."
Xiao Yu exclaimed: "Is that sister all right? What about Brother Du Le, is he all right?"
Jiang Ling had just heard Xiao Yu finished speaking, her already pale face was even paler now, she pulled Ji Ziqi away, and said anxiously: "Xiaoxue, let mother see if there is any injury or bump?"
While looking her up and down, she scolded, "You kid, it's such a big thing, and you come back as if nothing happened."
"Mother, I'm fine. Those people just wanted to scare us this time." Ji Ziqi grabbed Jiang Ling's hand, and the intertwined hands trembled a little. I don't know if it was her shaking or Jiang Ling shaking.
"Mother, let's sit down and talk." Ji Ziqi said.
Jiang Ling was still immersed in fear, her chest was throbbing violently, and she took several breaths before slowly recovering.
Ji Ziqi's heart was also in turmoil. If those people only targeted her, she would be afraid, but she would have to face it.
As I said to Du Le before, her existence is always a hidden danger for those people.
Instead of living in worry all the time, it is better to take the initiative to expose those people.
But it's different now. Although she thought that those people would use the Ji family to threaten her, she never thought that it would be so fast.
Maybe it's not just Xiaoyu Xiaofeng, Ji Zhongchun's Bu Xing, Jiang Ling who stayed in Jiang's mansion, maybe someone came to stare at him openly.
It's just that the people sent by Du Feng were worried that they were afraid and didn't tell them.
All this shows that the people behind the scenes are blatantly warning her to stop checking the ledger, otherwise, the next time, it will never be as simple as a warning.
At this moment, Ji Ziqi had the idea of retreating.
She can gamble with her own safety, but she can't drag the Ji family to gamble with her.
No matter if something happened to Xiaoyu or Xiaofeng, or any of the Ji family, she couldn't imagine losing them.
Ji Ziqi looked at Jiang Ling's bloodless face. If something happened to their four siblings, she couldn't imagine how distraught the Ji couple would be.
Jiang Ling seemed to have thought of this too, and her hands trembled more and more.
"Mother," Ji Ziqi patted her hand lightly, "I'm going to give up."
Jiang Ling and Xiao Yu were surprised at the same time, "Give up?" "Aren't you going to help the young master?"
"No one is more important than you!" Ji Ziqi said firmly: "This can only make him feel sorry."
"Sister..." Xiao Yu looked at her with a complicated expression, her delicate face was full of sadness, so the young master would be more pitiful, wouldn't he?
"Xiaoxue," Jiang Ling tugged on Ji Ziqi's hand, causing her to turn her head slightly, with fear in her eyes, but she looked straight into her eyes, "You told mother before that whether you help Master Su or not, , when our family is in danger, mother is already mentally prepared.
In other words, since the day your talent was revealed, Mother already knew about it.
But it's not your fault!
Even without you, there is light rain and light wind.
Xiao Yu was born so beautiful, without protection she would cause trouble sooner or later.
Xiaofeng's ability to never forget what he sees and what he hears sooner or later will arouse the coveting of those who care about him.
If you want to say whose fault it is, you can only blame your mother for giving birth to you too well.
Our family has long been in a position where we can only advance but not retreat.
Xiaoxue, mother doesn't understand what you do, but mother understands, as long as you have such talent, as long as you are still there, the enemies hiding in the dark will not be at ease for a day.
Are you going to trade your own life for the safety of our family?
Even if you change, how long can such security be maintained?You are gone, how long will Du Feng protect us?How long can the Lin family protect them?
Ten years at most, and ten years later, Xiao Yu is still in full bloom, Xiao Feng is showing his brilliance, and Xiao Xing has just grown up.
Unless Xiao Yu can marry a powerful husband's family, but with Xiao Yu's temperament, do you think she is suitable for a high-end compound?
If you marry her to such a family in order to protect the Ji family, my mother will not be willing.
So Xiaoxue, mother is not a fool, not to mention that mother will not sacrifice you in exchange for the safety of the family, even if mother is willing, are you willing to leave us?Are you willing to leave Du Feng? "
"Mother..." The worry in Jiang Ling's eyes gradually turned into firmness and distress, which made Ji Ziqi's eyes turn red.
Jiang Ling held her hand tightly, "Xiaoxue, if you shrink back from what you are doing now, the danger will always exist.
If you continue to move forward and find out the people hiding in the dark, it will be done once and for all!
Xiaoxue, you are a smart kid, I believe you must know how to do it, which is the best way for everyone! "
"Well," Xiao Yu nodded beside her, "Sister, I agree with what Mother said. Although I can't help you, I don't want to hold you back.
At most, I will be honest in the future. Before the matter is resolved, after school, I will never go out casually, and come back with Sister Aru obediently. "
Jiang Ling glanced at her, thinking that I will settle the matter with you later, this girl.
"Xiaoxue, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, mother doesn't believe that they dare to do it in broad daylight, so that your father must come back before dark, and Xiaofeng will come back as soon as he leaves the academy.
As for your grandfather, I heard that His Majesty sent someone to watch secretly, so it shouldn't be a big problem.It's you who should be worried the most when you come back so late every day. "
"Mother, Xiao Yu, let me think again." Ji Ziqi nodded.
She didn't know what Jiang Ling said.
Just like when she was in the south, facing the poison Xi Liemo handed over, she chose to swallow it to temporarily suppress her illness.
Save this moment first, so that you have more time to plan for the future.
Otherwise, if you don't even have your life now, what future is there to talk about?
What's more, what is in front of her now is the lives of Ji's family, her relatives, and her pillars!
If they can't even protect them, what is the point of what she has done and what she wants to do?
Ji Ziqi tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep peacefully all night.
In a trance, the sky soon dawned.
Ji Ziqi got up from the bed, her mind was still dizzy, everything that happened yesterday was still in her mind.
She shook her head twice and patted her face hard, only to feel better.
Jiang Ling's familiar voice came from outside, "Xiaoxue, are you awake?"
It seems to be Jiang Ling's habit to wake up his children one by one every morning.
In fact, Ji Ziqi's siblings have already formed a biological clock, and they will wake up naturally when the time comes.
But Jiang Ling still insisted on doing this. She said, Mother just wanted to get closer to her children. When you grow up, become relatives and get married, Mother wants to tell you to get up early, but there is no such opportunity.
When Ji Ziqi thought that one day, she would never hear the familiar voice waking her up again, her eyes turned red quickly.
-
When she came to Hubu, she looked pale and haggard, which shocked everyone.
"Miss Ji, what happened to you last night?" Someone asked hesitantly.
Ji Ziqi raised his head suddenly, his eyes were like lightning, "How do you know?"
"Lord Lin and Master Fan sent someone over this morning to say that something happened last night and they will come later today." The man flinched under her gaze, "I see that you look bad, so I made a random guess. .”
Ji Ziqi was shocked: "What happened?"
"I heard that it was the horse of the carriage where the two adults were riding, and I was startled by a few men in black who suddenly appeared.
The two adults are fine, they just fell down, but the two adults are not young, so they may still be injured a little bit. "
The man said: "The two gentlemen said they would come over later, and they sent someone to pass on the message because they were afraid that Ms. Ji would be worried."
Ji Ziqi was startled and angry. Those people not only threatened the Ji family, but were they going to implicate the Lin family, as well as the nominal ancestor Jiang Lingwai's family whom he had just met once?
Ji Ziqi, who was sitting in the ledger room, couldn't calm down for a long time. She just sat there for almost an hour, and the ledger in front of her still hadn't turned a single page.
The whole person fell into a daze, and did not wake up until someone outside said: "Miss Ji, Master Lin and Master Fan are here".
Ji Ziqi got up quickly and went straight to Mr. Lin.
There were not only Lord Lin, but also Fan Mingyi in the room. Before Ji Ziqi came, the two seemed to be talking about something, with serious expressions on their faces.
"Xiaoxue has seen Grandfather and Grand Uncle."
"Xiaoxue, I heard that you were also attacked last night, are you okay?" When Master Lin saw her, he hurriedly stood up and walked towards Ji Ziqi, regardless of the pain in his old waist.
Ji Ziqi supported him, "Xiaoxue is fine, are you okay, Grandpa?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I just flashed my waist." Lord Lin heheed twice, and then turned angry again, "The gang of thieves are really hateful, my grandfather will go to see His Majesty later, and tell His Majesty what happened yesterday, Your Majesty please call the shots!"
"Uncle Lin, is this too trivial to make a big deal? There are many people from the Jianghu in Beijing. It may be just a coincidence that they rushed out yesterday and surprised our horses." Fan Mingyi persuaded.
Fan Mingyan is Mrs. Lin's eldest daughter-in-law. As her younger brother, Fan Mingyi called Mr. Lin as Uncle Lin according to the etiquette.
Even in the official office of the Ministry of Household Affairs, if no outsiders were present, Fan Mingyi would always call him that.
Master Lin mentioned it a few times at the beginning, and Fan Mingyi also changed his words a few times, but for some reason it slowly changed back.
Master Lin saw that he had a clear distinction between public and private, and never called a miss when outsiders were around, so he gave up.
Master Lin snorted coldly: "The old man and you are a coincidence, but what about Xiaoxue, she killed him directly with a sword!"
Fan Ming said, "Xiaoxue is now involved in the Sorcerer's Association and the Food and Grass Administration of the Ministry of War. It's hard to say whether these two parties offended people, so she was attacked."
"Hmph, I don't care, anyway, Xiaoxue is helping the court now, and the court has the responsibility to protect her safety! No matter what, I have to report this matter to His Majesty!"
The more Mr. Lin talked, the more angry he became, "I'm going to the palace to face the saint now!"
"Master!" Ji Ziqi shouted, before he had time to say a word, Lord Lin got up and left quickly, his movements were so quick that no trace of his waist being flashed could be seen at all.
Ji Ziqi and Fan Mingyi could only watch him leave in dumbfounded.
"It seems that Uncle Lin really loves you!" Fan Mingyi said with emotion.
Ji Ziqi was still concerned about Mr. Lin's back injury, and didn't listen to Fan Mingyi's words, so he whispered to himself, "I don't know if the old man walks so fast, is there something wrong with his back."
"Xiaoxue," Fan Mingyi called her softly, seeing Ji Ziqi turned his head to look at him, he said seriously, "Your grandfather went to the palace to find His Majesty, but my uncle still doesn't agree.
It's not because my uncle is threatened, but because the enemy is in the dark and I'm in the light, so it's impossible to guard against!
Your great-grandfather and great-uncle are getting old, so it’s not a big deal if something happens, anyway, it’s enough to live.
But your great-grandfather’s family has grandsons and great-grandchildren, and your great-uncle’s family also has grandsons, and you, Xiaoxue, have younger brothers and sisters.
If something happened to these juniors, my uncle would feel really sorry! "
"Granduncle, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble!" Ji Ziqi apologized, "Xiaoxue is also thinking whether it is better to give up."
"It's the best for Xiaoxue to think like this. My uncle doesn't force you, I just hope you think more for those juniors!" Fan Mingyi nodded, then put on a regretful expression, and sighed:
"But Xiaoxue, you are an extraordinary woman. You should also consider your own situation. No matter what decision you make, tell your grand uncle, and your grand uncle will definitely support you."
Ji Ziqi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, grand-uncle!"
Fan Mingyi's words made Ji Ziqi even more withdrawn. She sat in the ledger room and passed the afternoon in a daze.
Later, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I said goodbye to everyone in the household department and left early.
Seeing her come out so early for the first time, Du Le was a bit surprised, Ji Ziqi looked tired and said: "Du Le, let's go to Ji's mansion now."
"Yes!" Du Le replied: "After arriving at Ji's Mansion, I will ask Lao Li to send a letter to Du An Du Xi, telling them to come here earlier."
Ji Ziqi hummed lightly and got into the carriage.
When she arrived at Ji's Mansion, Du An and Du Xi were on their way to Ji's Mansion. Not long after Du Le told Lao Li to go out, they came back together.
"Miss Ji, I heard from Du Le that you were attacked last night, are you okay!" Du An asked quickly when he saw her.
"I'm fine." Ji Ziqi said: "I was not the only one who had an accident last night, my younger sister Xiao Yu, my second younger brother Xiao Feng, as well as Mr. Lin, Minister of the Household Department, and Mr. Fan, Minister of the Household Department.
However, those people did not launch an attack. Lord Lin and Lord Fan were startled and slightly injured, while Xiaoyu and Xiaofeng just followed from a distance without concealing their whereabouts, and they were all just warnings for the time being.
I guess, if the matter of the general ledger continues to be investigated, it will not be as simple as a warning next time!So, I want to give up. "
Duan looked at her drooping eyes due to fatigue and powerlessness, with a look of fear on her face, thinking that no matter how powerful she was, she was always a weak little lady, and he felt pity in his heart, and said softly:
"Miss Ji, why don't you listen to what Du Xi and I have found before making a decision?"
Ji Ziqi raised his head and opened his eyes, his originally dim pupils revealed a little light, "Is there any news?"
"Yes, let's talk about Niang Qin's side first." Du Xi said, "I sent someone to investigate the suspected injustice cases in the past 30 years, mainly the cases where there were married women or little girls in the family.
About five or six of them were relatively sensational at the time, but none of them could be equated with Qin Niang now.
If Qin Niang was just an ordinary-looking woman, it might be hard to tell.
But her appearance is so good, there are married women and girls in the five or six cases, but none of them can match her in appearance.
From this, it can be concluded that Qin Niang's approach to those officials, or their family members, was not for revenge, but for information.
In other words, Qin Niang is a secret agent!
Because she is a secret agent, and she has been lurking in Li country for nearly ten years, but she has not been discovered, which shows that the people who contact her are very cautious, and the way or place of passing the news is also very hidden.
Therefore, it has not yet been found out which country sent the spies.hehe. "
Ji Ziqi pondered for a while when he heard the words: "Can we start the investigation from Xiqiang?"
"Why Xiqiang?" Du An asked, "Ms. Qin looks more like the people from Wuyi."
"I don't have any specific evidence for the time being. However, when I was in Nanlin, I met a small house owner surnamed Lian. The person behind him is Xi Liemo, the king of Xiqiang."
Ji Ziqi said: "The events that happened at that time showed that from the time I left the capital to Southern Qin, Xi Liemo knew everything about it like the palm of his hand.
Then it means that he must have someone in the capital, and he has been hiding for a long time.
And now, it happened that the shopkeeper of Linxianju was also surnamed Lian, and it happened that the owner of Linxianju, Qin Niang, was also a secret agent.
I'm not sure there is necessarily a connection between the two.But since it is temporarily impossible to find out which country Qin Niang sent as a spy, it is better to start with Xiqiang first! "
Du Xi said: "Miss Ji's words are also reasonable. Since there are no more clues for the time being, let's check from the people around Qin Niang. The first one is naturally the shopkeeper. Hehe!"
"Let's talk about Qin Niang's matter for now." Du An said: "Du Xi, you can talk about the ghost in the household department."
"During these days, I sent people to investigate several servants and inspectors of the household investigation department. For the time being, everything is as usual, and I can't find any problems." Du Xi said: "However, there is a little coincidence. Hehe."
"What's a coincidence?" Ji Ziqi asked.
Du Xi said: "A few inspectors often go to Linxianju to get together. Ha ha."
"Linxianju?" Ji Ziqi exclaimed, "You mean that they may have colluded with Qin Niang, or that Qin Niang's behind-the-scenes country may be related to this disaster relief and corruption?"
Duan said, "Yes, Miss Ji."
"If this is the case, will the checking of the general ledger be impossible to stop?" Ji Ziqi murmured.
"One more thing, Miss Ji!" Duan said: "Have you ever thought about why so many of you encountered warnings during the daytime at the same time?"
"I don't want me to investigate any further!" Ji Ziqi said.
Du Xi hehe said: "Yes, but there is one more point that Ms. Ji may have overlooked. Hehe."
Ji Ziqi asked, "Which point?"
"These are the people who came to warn you, where did they come from?" Duane said.
Ji Ziqi said: "Jianghu?"
Du An said: "That's right, Jianghu. The matter of checking the general ledger is almost a semi-public matter, but these people actually invited people from the Jianghu to intimidate them.
First, he is very familiar with the people in the Jianghu; second, those people in the Jianghu came here because they knew that they were only here to frighten people, not to kill people under His Majesty's nose and to oppose His Majesty! "
Ji Ziqi was stunned, she really hadn't thought about it.
Su Xiaonian's death was because he found something, and the other party did not hesitate to take risks.
But she didn't find anything now, so the other party asked someone to intimidate her, which firstly showed that they were afraid of her, and secondly, that they were also timid.
This is the capital city, if you kill someone who is clearly helping His Majesty at the foot of the Emperor, wouldn't that slap His Majesty in the face?
If His Majesty the Emperor gets angry, there will be a bloodbath in the whole Jianghu. Even if those people love money, they don't want to die.
After all, her situation is different from Su Xiaonian's.
Su Xiaonian himself is a killer and has enemies, and he is secretly working for His Majesty the Emperor. If something happens, His Majesty the Emperor will not be able to investigate clearly no matter how angry he is.
But she is different.She is young, and she has never done anything harmful to nature. Even if she has some conflicts with the members of the Magicians Association, she will not go to the point of buying a murderer.
With this thought, most of the worries in Ji Ziqi's heart disappeared.
Du Xi said: "This court is very familiar with people in Jianghu..."
"The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment!" Ji Ziqi blurted out.
Du An said: "In terms of familiarity, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is definitely more familiar than the Ministry of War. After all, the Ministry of Criminal Justice came to specialize in criminal cases, and every day it comes into contact with people from the world. Although most of them are second-rate people, there are also some genuine master."
Ji Ziqi said: "I once heard a senior say that as long as the two sides do not go too far, the imperial court and the rivers and lakes have always been incompatible, but if you kill someone who should not be killed, the imperial court will never let the other party go. of;
In addition, if there is something in the imperial court that cannot be solved by formal means, it will entrust people in the rivers and lakes to solve it. "
Du Xi said: "Miss Ji is right. So in terms of familiarity, the Ministry of War is not as good as the Ministry of Punishment. People in the Jianghu fight alone, but they don't obey orders when they fight, and they don't have team spirit. Those in the Ministry of Military Affairs dislike it the most.
However, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs often has to rely on people in the world to solve cases, and instead has many personal relationships.hehe. "
Ji Ziqi said: "You mean to say that behind the embezzlement of disaster relief money, there are people from the Ministry of Punishment involved?"
Du An said: "Not only is there, but this person's official position is not low."
Ji Ziqi said: "If the ghosts in the household department are related to Linxianju, does that mean that the punishment department is also related to Linxianju?"
Du Xi: "Yes, Miss Ji, hehe."
Du An said: "Miss Ji, behind the embezzlement of disaster relief money, the enemy country, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Punishment have been involved. Whether it is investigated or not, Miss Ji will be involved.
They are issuing the warning now in the hope that, Miss Ji, you will give up investigating this matter for the time being so as to give them time to destroy the evidence.
But whether it is Miss Ji or Miss Ji's family members, they will be a thorn in their hearts, making them restless.
If I were the person behind the scenes, I would definitely wait for the limelight to pass and find a good time to wipe out Miss Ji's family so as to avoid future troubles.
Therefore, this matter now has to be investigated! "
Ji Ziqi was startled when he heard that.
Du An breathed heavily, and Du Xi continued: "Miss Ji, not only do we need to investigate now, but we also need to investigate more thoroughly. It's not easy to investigate on the surface, so we can turn this matter from the open to the dark!
Now everyone knows that Ms. Ji was frightened yesterday and she wanted to retire, and Ms. Ji just took this opportunity to reciprocate.
On the surface, he pretended to give up but was unable to give up due to the emperor's order, so he had to put on a show, and secretly wrote down the problematic places to find out the problem.hehe. "
Ji Ziqi's face remained pale, he bit his lower lip tightly, "Okay, I understand."
If I were the person behind the scenes, I would definitely wipe out the Ji family to avoid future troubles!These words exploded in her ears like thunder!
That's right, if she wants to quit, she needs the other party's permission!If the consequence of retreating is that the other party is merciless, how can you retreat?
When the limelight of this matter has passed, His Majesty the Emperor will no longer pay attention to it, and when he loses this layer of protection, that will be the real dangerous time!
You can't retreat, you can only move forward!Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, you can only move forward!
After thinking about all this, Ji Ziqi slowly exhaled the suffocation in his chest, showing a firm expression.
