Chapter 154 Fire and Assassination, Rescued
Du Xi nodded: "There are many embezzlement cases involving disaster relief, and important court officials from both the Artisans Association and the Ministry of Household Affairs are involved.
If this matter gets publicized, it will definitely ruin its reputation and decapitate, so those people will take the risk! "
Du An said: "However, everything has not finally come to the surface. Uncle Dumb and Young Master Su, please be patient for a few days!"
The dumb uncle said: "Okay! The old man understands. Before there is a clear result, the old man and the young master will be more cautious.
If there is no important matter, try not to go to Miss Ji, and bring unnecessary guesses and troubles to her. "
Talking to smart people is a pleasure!Although all those in the know knew it well, Ji Ziqi's investigation of the ledger had nothing to do with Su Xiaonian.
But Ji Ziqi is now apparently unwilling to investigate further, if the contacts are too frequent, it will definitely attract suspicion.
-
In Linxianju, Lian the shopkeeper held the secret order sent by Fei Ge just now, his face was as dark as ink, "The king has sent a secret order! Take Ji Ziqi away at all costs! If not, kill him!"
"At all costs?" Qin Niang was so weak that she could hardly stand still, "Does the king and the national teacher want to abandon us?"
"Ms. Qin!" Even the shopkeeper's voice was cold and emotionless, "You and I have predicted that today will come from the day we accepted the mission, but it's just the difference between sooner and later!"
"I thought, I always thought, that I was different." Qin Niang murmured to herself, her eyes drooping slightly.
Shopkeeper Lian sneered and said, "Ms. Qin, I told you a long time ago that you must recognize your identity!
At the beginning, the national teacher just took a fancy to your talent in magic, took you back to teach you for half a year, and gave you the opportunity to get close to the king, did you think that you were really different?
It's like I have excellent muscles and bones, and I was taken to teach martial arts, there is no difference between the two!It's just that you and I have different talents.
It's because you have been refusing to face the reality, now you should give up! "
Qin Niang showed a mournful look on her face, and the face of that handsome man who looked like a god's mansion floated in her heart.
He and her, one is the bright moon in the sky, and the other is the mud in the ground, she doesn't even dare to think about what she shouldn't have.
I used to be so humble by his side, I only hoped that his eyes would fall on her.
However, even if his eyes fell on her by chance, it seemed that he had penetrated her, thinking of another person.
It's not that she doesn't give up, she's just a little unwilling!
"Ms. Qin!" After all, she was an old partner of ten years, and even the shopkeeper's cold heart couldn't bear it, "After finishing this matter, let's evacuate immediately, there may be no chance of surviving!"
"Chance of survival?" The corners of Qin Niang's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of sarcasm appeared in it, "We have been watched for a long time, do you really think I don't know?
If not, why did you invite those men of different races over in an attempt to confuse their attention?
But this can only be prevented for a few days at most, within seven days, we will definitely be exposed.At that time, where is there any way out? "
Shopkeeper Lian said: "So we must do it within seven days!
I will explain to the Ministry of Accounting, let him set fire to the account book room of the Ministry of Accounting, and there will be no proof of his death at that time, and it is impossible to convict him based on the inferences of several people in the Du Mansion!
In this way, at least two or three more days will be gained!When the time comes, take advantage of the chaos and act immediately, either take it away or kill it, and retreat as soon as it is done! "
"Hehe," Qin Niang chuckled, with a bit of coldness and self-pity, "Master Lian, are you deceiving me, or yourself?
Leaving aside the guy named Du Le next to Ji Ziqi, if you and I join forces, we may not be his opponent.
There are also a few secret guards of the Du Mansion who have been hiding in the dark and have never shown up. Although we have many people in Beijing, to prevent suspicion, there are not many masters!
If there is enough time to plan, maybe Ji Ziqi can be taken away;
Now, apart from burning everything together and hurting both sides, Fang has a half chance of killing Ji Ziqi, what else can he do? "
Even the shopkeeper's face turned ashen, "Qin Niang, it's good if you know! If you continue to sink like this, let alone half the chance, you won't even have a thirty percent chance.
Then all our plans in the country of Li over the past ten years will be completely destroyed!
Do you think that in this way, even if the king and the national teacher are kind, will our family and clansmen still have a good life in Xiqiang? "
Qin Niang remembered that when she left home, her younger siblings and elderly parents bit her lower lip tightly and closed her mouth.
-
The account books of the Ministry of Accounts have been recorded almost, and Ji Ziqi concentrated on teaching Tian Li and others by the Artisan Association.
To her relief, she originally made the decision to bet with those people, but it eased the antagonism brought about by the rumors.
Tian Li told her quietly: "Junior Sister Ji, after you left the day before yesterday, many people who opposed you before secretly came to ask me about the solutions to the few problems you set up just now.
I also asked about the questions you talked about before, saying that I didn’t pay attention to it at the beginning, and I missed it. I hope I can explain it to them again. "
Ji Ziqi thought, if she knew that she would not say anything at the beginning, it would be better to talk about the topic directly, and she wasted so much tongue.
It seems that this group of people are just a little confused, but they really love magic.
Thinking about it again, I feel that it is hard to blame them. Everyone has a plot of a great man. As long as it is said by a great man, it will be regarded as the motto.
President Mei's prestige in the magic circle, especially in the Magician Association, is no lower than that of Master Jiang and Master Meng.
In this rumor, Master Jiang was caught in it, and his words naturally lacked justice.
But President Mei is an outsider, with an attitude of caring for the students of the Artisans Association and holding grievances. Coupled with his prestige, it is understandable for these people to get hot-headed for a while.
Today's Wuya Hall is still very quiet. Even though those who opposed her before did not sit with Tian Li and the others, it can be seen from the subtle expressions on their faces that they are struggling and entangled in their hearts.
Except for two or three people.Ji Ziqi let out a soft snort, and those people were the ones who had been inciting other students to oppose her before, and they were the inexperienced insiders that President Mei had just found.
Those people were still staring at her with hatred, Ji Ziqi didn't bother to pay attention, and went straight to Tian Li and the others.
"Brothers, how did you solve yesterday's problem? The junior sister is about to start the test!"
"No problem, Junior Sister Ji, feel free to ask! Brother, I guarantee that I can answer. If I can't answer, I will cover all the food expenses of all the brothers in the future." One person patted his chest and promised.
"Bah! Junior Sister Ji, don't listen to his nonsense! This guy is good at bragging!" A person next to him said disdainfully, "You seem to have forgotten that you borrowed money from me for dinner yesterday!"
"That's why I said that if I can't solve the problem, I will cover the food expenses for the next month, so as to prove my confidence in solving the problem!"
"roll!"
Several people laughed and made a fuss, completely ignoring the other people in Wuya Hall!
After the squabbling, the testing session began, and Tian Li and the others immediately sat upright.
These few people are very talented in number games, and their skill level is not bad, otherwise they would not be able to catch Master Liu's eyes.
Under Ji Ziqi's test, several people can basically answer, and Tian Li and Chen Han even have some new ideas.
This not only impressed Ji Ziqi, but also shocked the eyes of the other group of people.
In their minds, although most of Tian Li and others are seniors, because they have been trapped for too long and their skills have dropped too much, it is really difficult to respect them.
After all, if the magic world wants to gain the respect and recognition of others, qualifications are one thing, but ability is more important.
The previous Tian Li and others obviously did not have the ability.
But Tian Li and others, after being inspired by Ji Ziqi and stimulating their original potential, were able to solve problems that they were not sure of.
If there is more time, wouldn't it be possible to surpass their level soon?
no!If you stand still while others are striding forward, you may be overtaken soon, or even left behind.
When those people thought about it, their hearts suddenly became vigilant, and they began to wonder if their previous actions were wrong.
Originally, they were indifferent to whether to implement the new system.
If it wasn't for the news from unknown sources later, the last fight was just a game.
The news that they were being used by others ignited the anger in their hearts.
They wouldn't put it aside as a study of spells out of anger at all.
Magic is so beautiful, life is so short, who has time to care about other people's affairs?
Doubts last a lifetime, just like previous doubts, it is difficult to eliminate.
As Ji Ziqi said, no matter what, the final losers of this farce are none other than them!
It is not yet known how the imperial court will punish those who reject the exam, but the current defeat is already in front of their eyes.
Tian Li and the others, whom they have always looked down upon, have caught up with them and are about to overtake them.
If you still insist on going your own way, you will only waste your own time, how those people will live or how they will live.
Under this entanglement, most of the people who originally opposed Ji Ziqi had decided to let go of the matter.
Whether you are true or not, whether you are famous or not, what does it have to do with me?I just study my spells.
-
Out of the Artisan Association, Ji Ziqi was planning to go to Ji's mansion, Du Le said in a deep voice: "Miss Ji, don't go today for now."
"Why?" Ji Ziqi wondered.
"After coming out of Jiang's Mansion this morning, I noticed that someone has been secretly following our carriage." Du Le said:
"I'm worried that someone will be unfavorable to you. I have already sent someone to tell Duane. If there is any news today, I will send someone to send it directly."
"Then let's go back to Jiang's Mansion today!" With Du Le's words, Ji Ziqi was a little worried about the safety of Xiaofeng Xiaoyu and everyone in Jiang's Mansion.
What Du Le was worried about did not happen, but Du Xi sent a letter that made Ji Ziqi unable to calm down for a long time.
The inner ghost of the household department, that is, one of the masterminds behind the disaster relief and corruption case, turned out to be Fan Mingyan's younger brother, an uncle she had not known for a long time.
It turned out that yesterday afternoon, the shopkeeper Lian of Linxianju finally took action.
Du Xixin said in the middle: Even the shopkeeper is very skilled, the people he sent didn't dare to get too close, they could only follow him from a distance.
Even after the shopkeeper went out in the afternoon, he wandered around for more than two hours before finally entering a teahouse for a sip of tea.
The time to drink tea is very short. For a person who is tired from shopping for a long time, it is most normal to sit down and drink a cup of tea to quench his thirst.
But the people sent by Du Xi did not dare to neglect at all.About half an hour after Shopkeeper Lian left, Fan Mingyi appeared.
He took the seat where the shopkeeper had just sat, and ordered a bowl of tea.
The people who stayed behind to guard the teahouse saw him reach out and take out something under the table.
Even the shopkeeper has strong martial arts skills and is far away. The people Du Xi sent over did not see his movements.
But Fan Mingyi didn't know kung fu, he was just an ordinary person, so Du Xi's people could see him clearly even though he was far away.
After Du Xi received the news, he immediately transferred back the people who were sent to other officials of the household investigation department, and focused on the investigation of Fan Mingyi.
From his whereabouts, people around him to his property, nothing is left behind.
Originally, when investigating ghosts in the household department, Fan Mingyi was not deliberately excluded because Fan Mingyi was Ji Ziqi's uncle, because even Master Lin was also included in the scope of the investigation.
After yesterday's incident, Du Xi finally understood why Fan Mingyi's inappropriateness had not been found at all before.
Because those two people basically never meet!
Du Xi sent someone to conduct a thorough investigation overnight, and reorganized the information collected by his subordinates with Du An.
Finally found something wrong.
The property under Fan Mingyi's name is not so staggering. If the housekeeper manages it properly, it is completely reasonable to have the current family property.
The problem is that his son Fan Tong, his wife Chen Shi, his younger sister Fan Mingyan, his deceased elder brother, nephews, nephews and other hundreds of relatives all have a fortune in their names.
Each person's property is not much, but together, it is a lot of money.
As for whether these properties really belonged to those people, or whether Fan Mingyi actually just borrowed the names of those people, it was easy to verify.
As long as you find a few people and pretend to ask a few words unintentionally, you will know the truth.
Du An and Du Xi are cautious people, and Ji Ziqi knew that when this letter was delivered to her, it must have been verified by many parties.
No wonder Fan Mingyi sent someone to send a letter to Fan Mingyan not long after she checked the ledger, saying that she wanted to recognize her relatives, why did she go so early?
No wonder I always ask about the progress of the audit, intentionally or unintentionally, and when I really want to ask questions, I use excuses to avoid answering them.
It's no wonder that every time something happens, Fan Mingyi always takes a calm attitude, or tempts him to think in other directions.
Ji Ziqi met him not long ago, and he didn't have a deep relationship.
The people she cared about were Grandpa Lin who had great trust in Fan Mingyi, grandmother Fan Mingyan who was kind and kind to her, and even her little cousin Fan Tong who was aggressive.
As soon as this incident happened, these three people were probably the ones who were hit the hardest.
At the end of Du Xi's letter, he wrote: Fan Mingyi's property is still under final investigation, and all the evidence will be collected within two or three days at most.
In the last few days, please be careful with her!
After Ji Ziqi put down the letter, he let out a long breath.
"Xiaoxue, it's time for dinner!" Fan Mingyan's voice came from outside the door.
Ji Ziqi was startled, hurriedly put away the letter in his hand, stood up and opened the door.
"Grandmother, why did you come in person?" Fan Mingyan at the door had a lot of rosy complexion after being recuperated in Jiang's residence for a period of time.
Ji Ziqi held her hand affectionately, with complicated expressions in his eyes.
Fan Mingyan patted her hand lightly, and said softly: "Grandmother needs to move around more. Xiaoxing just woke up. Your mother is going to take care of her. Grandmother is here to call you."
The two chatted while walking.
Ji Ziqi said: "Grandmother, the weather is a bit abnormally hot this year. It's almost autumn, and it's still so hot. Can your old man be able to bear it?"
"Xiaoxue has a heart. Grandma is fine, but your grandfather often has chest tightness. You should visit his old man when you have time." Fan Mingyan said softly.
"Xiaoxue made a note of it." Ji Ziqi said: "When the busy time is over, Xiaoxue will ask mother to take us and the whole family to find a village in the countryside to escape, so as to get rid of the heat."
"Okay, grandma is waiting." Fan Mingyan said with a smile: "Speaking of this rural village, my grandmother lived in the same village with your aunt for two years.
The air in that place is so good, it’s not too hot in summer, it’s very cool! "
Ji Ziqi pretended to have no intention of asking, "Is that your grandma's Zhuangzi?"
Fan Mingyan shook his head, "No, it's Zhuangzi of your uncle's friend. Your uncle said that his friend seldom went there, so he told his grandmother to stay.
Your grandma, grandmother's aunt, likes jade jewelry, but doesn't like Zhuangzi, and finds it troublesome, so there is a whole room of jade jewelry left for your grandma, but only a few shops.
Later, when my grandmother got married, those shops were brought to the Lin Mansion together as a dowry, and then your aunt Ah Rao was married and used as her dowry.
Although there is no Zhuangzi in the grandma's shop, there are still a lot of jade and jewelry. When Xiaoxue gets married, I will definitely add makeup to you! "
By the end, it was meant to be a joke.
After hearing Fan Mingyan's words with his own ears and confirming Fan Mingyi's crime from the side, the smile on Ji Ziqi's face finally stopped.
She put her arms around Fan Mingyan's arm and leaned her head on her shoulder, her voice choked with sobs, "Grandma, Xiaoxue will not marry, and Xiaoxue will be with you forever!"
Fan Mingyan laughed lightly, stroked her head lightly, and said softly, "Silly girl!"
After two days, Duan Duxi finally collected all the evidence. After the two of them calculated, the total property in Fan Mingyi's hands was at least 1000 million taels.
The last trace of unbearable in Ji Ziqi's heart dissipated immediately, 1000 million taels, that is to say, at least 900 million taels are the proceeds of corruption.
In the past ten years, all kinds of disaster relief funds distributed by the imperial court totaled 500 million taels, and nearly [-]% of them fell into Fan Mingyi's bag!
How many people have been driven into despair because of his greed?
This kind of person deserves to die!There was coldness in Ji Ziqi's eyes.
Everything was ready, on the morning of August [-]th, Ji Ziqi took the questions on the ledger that he wrote down, and was going to explain everything to Mr. Lin.
Mr. Lin is not here, it is said that he was left behind by His Majesty the Emperor.
Ji Ziqi had no choice but to go to the ledger room.
The time of waiting for someone always passed very slowly, Ji Ziqi was a little upset, got up and walked back and forth between the ledgers on the shelves.
And randomly pick up one of the unread ledgers to check to pass the time.
Without realizing it, the door was quietly locked from the outside.
Suddenly, a strange smell drilled into Kiko's nose.
She sniffed and walked in the direction of the smell.
It seemed to come from outside the door.
Ji Ziqi walked into the door, stretched out his hand and pulled the door, but found that it couldn't be opened.
its stuck?
She pulled again, but still nothing.
Ji Ziqi sniffed the increasingly heavy smell, looked at the closed door, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
In an instant, flames burst into the sky outside the door.
A fiery and deadly breath rushed towards her.
Ji Ziqi stepped back quickly and shouted loudly, "Come on, it's on fire!"
The smell of kerosene spread quickly in the air, and the thick smoke was blown into the room along with the wind. Soon, Ji Ziqi felt a little difficult to breathe.
She coughed and looked around for something to put out the fire.
But here is the ledger room, there is nothing to extinguish the fire, but a lot of things to support the combustion.
The door of the room fell down with a crackling sound of burning, and the flames rushed in quickly.
Through the firelight, Ji Ziqi saw a group of stunned people standing not far away, startled by the sudden fire, and didn't know how to react for a while!
"Get water! Put out the fire!" Ji Ziqi shouted with all his strength.
The thick smoke took the opportunity to choke into her throat, and Ji Ziqi coughed desperately for a while, until she burst into tears, and felt that her internal organs were about to be coughed out, so she couldn't help but bend down.
Then she heard someone exclaim: "Miss Ji is inside! Quick, get water!"
Those dumbfounded officials finally started to move around in a hurry.
The fire was too strong, and soon the rows of shelves containing the ledgers in the entire ledger room caught fire, leaving only a small area where Ji Ziqi's innermost desk was located.
The temperature in the room rose instantly, and Ji Ziqi's whole body was almost drenched. She poured tea on her sleeve, covered her mouth and nose, and took a deep breath.
The wildly dancing flames stretched their teeth and claws in front of her, rushing to the roof, like hellfire, and like screaming demons, with the breath of death, they were about to pounce on her and destroy her.
This was the first time that Ji Ziqi felt death so close to his eyes.
The high temperature quickly burned out the oxygen, and Ji Ziqi's eyes began to blur, and his consciousness was lax.
In the haze, Du Feng's figure broke into her mind, and his deep and melodious voice like a cello hovered in her ears, "Qiqi, Qiqi!"
I'm sorry, Du Feng!
Obviously, the water in his body had been evaporated by the high temperature, but at the thought of Ji Ziqi saying goodbye to Du Feng forever, tears filled his eyes.
The moment she felt that her eyes could no longer be opened, a figure rushed in.
"Miss Ji, Miss Ji!"
It's Dule!
She is saved!
Ji Ziqi suddenly opened his eyes with a burst of strength from nowhere.
Du Le took off a coat that had been soaked in water from her head, and then hugged her horizontally, "Miss Ji, I'm sorry!"
The moment Du Le rushed out of the room with Ji Ziqi in his arms, the beams on the roof fell off.
The ledger room became a sea of flames, swallowing all the darkness inside.
Ji Ziqi, who was in Du Le's arms, turned his head and saw the last scene.
If it was a little bit late, even if it was only a few seconds, I would be separated from Du Feng Tianren forever!
Ji Ziqi was frightened for a while, and couldn't help trembling all over his body.
Du Le did not stop at the household department, but directly carried her into the carriage.
"Miss Ji, sit still, I'll take you to the clinic!"
Du Le only left a word, then hurriedly jumped onto the shaft of the chariot, flicked the whip vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Drive!"
The horseshoes were raised, and the carriage galloped away.
Master Lin who was in the palace was shocked when he heard the news, he immediately asked for leave and rushed back to the household department, the eldest prince Li Yuan also left the palace together.
However, Master Lin could only ride in the carriage, while Li Yuan rode his horse and galloped wildly.
Du Le drove the carriage for more than half a mile in a hurry. Suddenly, a pedestrian passing by the carriage in the opposite direction suddenly drew a knife and rushed towards him.
Immediately afterwards, someone pushed a cart to block the front, Du Feng reined in the stiff rope with all his strength, the horse let out a long cry, and the carriage stopped.
Then, about [-] killers pretending to be civilians pulled out various weapons such as swords from the pile of firewood and the standing shelves, and rushed towards the carriage behind Du Le.
Murderous everywhere!
Ji Ziqi didn't understand, but the sudden stop of the carriage, as well as the sudden sound of screaming and crying and running eagerly from outside, made her realize that something had happened.
At the moment those killers rushed towards the carriage, four men in gray appeared from nowhere and joined the battle.
These four people are the secret guards of the Du Mansion. With this addition, Du Le's pressure suddenly eased a lot.
However, it is only temporary.
One person versus four is no problem for Du Le and the others, but it will be very difficult to take care of Ji Ziqi, who has no kung fu.
One miss, the knife slashed at the carriage.
Ji Ziqi in the carriage had already raised the curtain.
Although this would directly expose her to the eyes of those killers, she didn't want to be slashed by a sword coming out of nowhere.
Anyway, those people already knew that she was in the carriage.
Seeing a knife slashing towards him, Ji Ziqi shrunk down in embarrassment and lay down on the carriage.
Du Le's sword arrived in time, blocking the second cut that the man was about to make.
Ji Ziqi was so frightened that he lay on the ground, not daring to move.
When the danger was temporarily lifted, she slowly sat up straight.
Suddenly a sword stabbed at him from nowhere, Ji Ziqi couldn't dodge it in time, he rolled on the spot and fell off the carriage.
"It hurts!" Ji Ziqi didn't dare to cry out, so he could only grit his teeth and endure silently.
The sword stabbed at her lingeringly, carrying a familiar pure and charming fragrance.
It's Qin Niang!
Ji Ziqi didn't have time to think about it, he rolled to the side in embarrassment, narrowly dodging the sword, but the sword entangled him again like a poisonous snake.
Ji Ziqi had inhaled a lot of smoke before, and his whole body was already weak. In addition, he had just tried his best to avoid the sword a few times, and the last trace of strength in his body was exhausted.
Seeing that Qin Niang's arrow was about to pierce her chest, there was a sudden roar, "Junior Sister! Be careful!"
Ji Ziqi was stunned, and Qin Niang, who was holding a sword on the opposite side and was about to pierce her chest, was also stunned.
At that instant, a figure rushed over.
Ji Ziqi could only hear the sound of a sword piercing into his body, and the painful muffled sound of the man on his body.
A Da, who followed Li Yuan closely, was startled and angry, drew out his sword, and slashed at Qin Niang with [-]% of his strength.
The speed was so fast that Qin Niang had no time to pull out the sword that pierced into Li Yuan's body, and Ah Da forcibly chopped off her entire arm.
"Ah!" On the street where the crowd had already dispersed, only Qin Niang's shrill scream could be heard.
Like an awl, it pierces the eardrums of those hiding in alleys or behind doors.
Li Yuan's blood quickly stained the clothes of the two of them red, his eyes were closed tightly, his complexion was as pale as paper, and his anger was like gossamer.
"Senior Brother Yang! Are you okay? Wake up!" Ji Ziqi tremblingly covered the wound on his chest with his hands, trying to stop the blood that kept coming out.
With the addition of Ada, the situation on the field quickly reversed.
But his master was injured, he only quickly dealt with the two of them, then took Li Yuan from Ji Ziqi, jumped on his horse and galloped towards the palace.
Ah Da didn't even have time to look at Ji Ziqi, whether it was anger or resentment, he didn't have time.
There is only one thing in his mind at the moment: his master is injured, he must send him to the palace as soon as possible, and seek medical treatment from the imperial physician!
In broad daylight, there was an assassination case on the street. After receiving the news, the people from the prefect of the capital rushed over immediately.
The killers on the field were quickly restrained, but the moment they were tied up, they all spat black blood and lowered their heads.
Looks like a bunch of dead men!
So what if you're dead?As long as the person is still there, there will always be errands, and there will always be traces to be found!
Du Le looked at Qin Niang, who was almost unconscious due to the pain of losing her arm, and ordered cruelly: "Remove her jaw, stop the bleeding, and keep her life alive!"
One of them left in response, Qin Niang's originally charming face lost its color due to her disguise, and now she showed a bit of ferocity due to the painful struggle.
The man carried out Du Le's order without hesitation, and everyone only had time to hear a muffled groan. The pain in his arm and jaw made Qin Niang faint from the pain.
People from the yamen quickly cleaned up the scene, and some of the more courageous neighbors poked their heads out from behind the closed shop doors.
Seeing that everyone had left, they started to jump out, quickly gathered together, and talked with relish about everything they had just seen.
Between the eyebrows, the panic just now had disappeared, as if he had personally participated in the fight, he started talking excitedly.
Ji Ziqi got into the carriage, still seeing Li Yuan's face as white as paper, and the strange and coquettish bright red on his body, after a while of dizziness, he couldn't help but vomited.
It's just that I haven't eaten for most of the day, and there is nothing left in my stomach, only a small amount of acidic water has been vomited out.
Du Le, who heard the movement in front, said worriedly: "Miss Ji, are you alright?"
"I'm fine!" Ji Ziqi lay on the bench weakly after vomiting, "Du Le, go to Ji's mansion first! Then help me buy a set of women's clothes."
"Miss Ji, let's go to the clinic first!"
"No need," Ji Ziqi insisted, "I'm not injured, just choked by the smoke, go to Ji's mansion first."
Du Le had no choice but to send her to Ji's mansion first.
Ah Tian in the kitchen quickly brought warm water. It was a hot day, and Ji Ziqi, who was soaked in the bucket, still felt the chill that could not be dispelled all over his body.
The white and red kept flashing in front of her eyes. Even with her eyes closed, she could still clearly feel the dazzling and miserable color and the bloody smell lingering at the tip of her nose.
Clothes arrived quickly.
Ji Ziqi didn't soak for too long, as soon as the clothes arrived, she immediately got out of the bucket, dried herself, put on clean clothes, then climbed onto the bed and got under the covers.
The quilt has been changed countless times, and Ji Ziqi still remembers that the last time she came to this bedroom, the color of the sheets was dark blue.
This time it was changed to a refreshing water blue color, but this still did not prevent Ji Ziqi from looking for Du Feng's taste.
The two of them once lay on this bed together, his smell must still be there!
Such thoughts made her feel a lot more at ease, as if she really smelled the familiar and pleasant aura of Du Feng.
Ji Ziqi, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown, slowly calmed down, and fell asleep with fatigue.
I don't know how long I slept, and I don't know if I dreamed of Du Feng, but Ji Ziqi was sweating all over his body amidst the blood red and pale, and then woke up.
It was getting dark outside.
It turned out that she had slept for so long.
Ji Ziqi, who had just woken up from a nightmare, lost her mind for a moment, and everything that happened since the fire slowly came back to her mind.
Obviously she almost died in the fire, but only the painful memory of blood red and pale was left in her eyes.
The room was a little dark, and Ji Ziqi groped out of bed.
Du Le's voice came from outside, "Miss Ji, are you awake?"
It seems that Du Le has been guarding the door.
"I'm up." Ji Ziqi stood up and opened the door, "Du Le, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
"Miss Ji wait a moment!" Du Le left in a hurry after speaking.
After a while, a bowl of warm porridge was served.
The temperature was just right, neither hot nor cold, and Ji Ziqi, who was hungry, drank it in two or three gulps.
Du Le handed over another bowl at the right time.
After drinking three bowls in a row, Ji Ziqi finally felt a sense of fullness in his stomach.
Du Le saw that she had regained her composure, and said, "Miss Ji, Du An and Du Xi are waiting in the study. Do you want to go back to Jiang's Mansion now, or see them before leaving?"
"Did my parents know the news?" Ji Ziqi asked.
Du Le said: "Jiang's Mansion, Lin's Mansion, Artisan Association, I all sent people to send the news that Miss Ji is safe and sound, but she was frightened."
"Okay," Ji Ziqi nodded, "Then let's go to the study."
Du An and Du Xi in the study were still a little restless even though they had heard from Du Le that Ji Ziqi was healthy.
After all, sometimes psychological damage is more serious than physical damage, and it is the easiest to ignore.
It wasn't until Ji Ziqi walked into the study that Du An and Du Xi saw that her face was only a little pale, but her expression was calm and composed as usual, so they were a little relieved.
Du An and Du Xi all handed over their hands and apologized: "Miss Ji, please forgive us for our improper arrangement and poor protection, which made Miss Ji almost get hurt!"
Ji Ziqi waved his hand, "It's not your fault! If it wasn't for Du Le and those four hidden guards, I would have been buried in the flames or killed by the killer's sword."
"Miss Ji, you were frightened just now, so I shouldn't have told you." Du Xi said, "But this matter is of great importance and time is running out, so I have to say it!"
"what's up?"
"The account book of the Ministry of Accounts has been paid once, and the new account book made by Miss Ji's notes,
Also because it was drenched with your sweat in the sea of fire, and later soaked in blood, more than [-]% of the contents inside have been blurred.
I do have some questionable parts of the ledger that Ms. Ji sent over earlier, but the amount is too small, and it must not be complete at all. "
Du Xi said: "I don't know if Ms. Ji has left an extra draft? Or do you still remember the content on it?"
"What?" Ji Ziqi, who was sitting on the chair, straightened his back suddenly, "Ninety percent of it is already blurred? Wouldn't all the previous efforts be in vain?"
"If Ms. Ji doesn't have a manuscript, or doesn't remember the content," Duane said sadly, "it's like this."
Du Xi said: "Although the government offices in various places have detailed accounts, they are scattered all over the country, and the journeys are long. Many things can happen between these trips."
Ji Ziqi regretted it in his heart.
When she was copying, she did have drafts one by one. Later, she made a new form, filled in all the numbers, and threw away the drafts.
It's been so long, how could I find it?
And with so many numbers, how could it be possible to remember?She is not Xiaofeng, she has the ability of photographic memory, she just has a high ability in arithmetic and mental arithmetic...
By the way, Xiaofeng!
Ji Ziqi's eyes showed ecstasy, and he said excitedly to several people: "I didn't leave the manuscript, and I don't remember most of the content on it, but someone can!"
Duan and the others were surprised and delighted, "Who!"
"My brother Xiaofeng!" Ji Ziqi's heart was beating wildly, "Xiaofeng has the ability to never forget!
A few days ago when the evidence materials were sorted out, Xiaofeng came to my room, and I teased him with the numbers on it! "
"Really?" Du Xi's chubby face was full of surprise.
There are many wonders in the world, and there are indeed many people in this world who have supernatural abilities that ordinary people can't imagine!
However, this has always been just heard, never seen.
Moreover, it was rumored that the facts were always exaggerated. He had heard about Xiaofeng's ability, but he was a little worried that it would be exaggerated.
"Yeah." Ji Ziqi nodded confidently, "Xiaofeng really has this ability, his ability is more powerful than the rumors!
It's just that my grandfather and parents are afraid of causing trouble, so they always forbid him to show it outside. "
(End of this chapter)
Du Xi nodded: "There are many embezzlement cases involving disaster relief, and important court officials from both the Artisans Association and the Ministry of Household Affairs are involved.
If this matter gets publicized, it will definitely ruin its reputation and decapitate, so those people will take the risk! "
Du An said: "However, everything has not finally come to the surface. Uncle Dumb and Young Master Su, please be patient for a few days!"
The dumb uncle said: "Okay! The old man understands. Before there is a clear result, the old man and the young master will be more cautious.
If there is no important matter, try not to go to Miss Ji, and bring unnecessary guesses and troubles to her. "
Talking to smart people is a pleasure!Although all those in the know knew it well, Ji Ziqi's investigation of the ledger had nothing to do with Su Xiaonian.
But Ji Ziqi is now apparently unwilling to investigate further, if the contacts are too frequent, it will definitely attract suspicion.
-
In Linxianju, Lian the shopkeeper held the secret order sent by Fei Ge just now, his face was as dark as ink, "The king has sent a secret order! Take Ji Ziqi away at all costs! If not, kill him!"
"At all costs?" Qin Niang was so weak that she could hardly stand still, "Does the king and the national teacher want to abandon us?"
"Ms. Qin!" Even the shopkeeper's voice was cold and emotionless, "You and I have predicted that today will come from the day we accepted the mission, but it's just the difference between sooner and later!"
"I thought, I always thought, that I was different." Qin Niang murmured to herself, her eyes drooping slightly.
Shopkeeper Lian sneered and said, "Ms. Qin, I told you a long time ago that you must recognize your identity!
At the beginning, the national teacher just took a fancy to your talent in magic, took you back to teach you for half a year, and gave you the opportunity to get close to the king, did you think that you were really different?
It's like I have excellent muscles and bones, and I was taken to teach martial arts, there is no difference between the two!It's just that you and I have different talents.
It's because you have been refusing to face the reality, now you should give up! "
Qin Niang showed a mournful look on her face, and the face of that handsome man who looked like a god's mansion floated in her heart.
He and her, one is the bright moon in the sky, and the other is the mud in the ground, she doesn't even dare to think about what she shouldn't have.
I used to be so humble by his side, I only hoped that his eyes would fall on her.
However, even if his eyes fell on her by chance, it seemed that he had penetrated her, thinking of another person.
It's not that she doesn't give up, she's just a little unwilling!
"Ms. Qin!" After all, she was an old partner of ten years, and even the shopkeeper's cold heart couldn't bear it, "After finishing this matter, let's evacuate immediately, there may be no chance of surviving!"
"Chance of survival?" The corners of Qin Niang's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of sarcasm appeared in it, "We have been watched for a long time, do you really think I don't know?
If not, why did you invite those men of different races over in an attempt to confuse their attention?
But this can only be prevented for a few days at most, within seven days, we will definitely be exposed.At that time, where is there any way out? "
Shopkeeper Lian said: "So we must do it within seven days!
I will explain to the Ministry of Accounting, let him set fire to the account book room of the Ministry of Accounting, and there will be no proof of his death at that time, and it is impossible to convict him based on the inferences of several people in the Du Mansion!
In this way, at least two or three more days will be gained!When the time comes, take advantage of the chaos and act immediately, either take it away or kill it, and retreat as soon as it is done! "
"Hehe," Qin Niang chuckled, with a bit of coldness and self-pity, "Master Lian, are you deceiving me, or yourself?
Leaving aside the guy named Du Le next to Ji Ziqi, if you and I join forces, we may not be his opponent.
There are also a few secret guards of the Du Mansion who have been hiding in the dark and have never shown up. Although we have many people in Beijing, to prevent suspicion, there are not many masters!
If there is enough time to plan, maybe Ji Ziqi can be taken away;
Now, apart from burning everything together and hurting both sides, Fang has a half chance of killing Ji Ziqi, what else can he do? "
Even the shopkeeper's face turned ashen, "Qin Niang, it's good if you know! If you continue to sink like this, let alone half the chance, you won't even have a thirty percent chance.
Then all our plans in the country of Li over the past ten years will be completely destroyed!
Do you think that in this way, even if the king and the national teacher are kind, will our family and clansmen still have a good life in Xiqiang? "
Qin Niang remembered that when she left home, her younger siblings and elderly parents bit her lower lip tightly and closed her mouth.
-
The account books of the Ministry of Accounts have been recorded almost, and Ji Ziqi concentrated on teaching Tian Li and others by the Artisan Association.
To her relief, she originally made the decision to bet with those people, but it eased the antagonism brought about by the rumors.
Tian Li told her quietly: "Junior Sister Ji, after you left the day before yesterday, many people who opposed you before secretly came to ask me about the solutions to the few problems you set up just now.
I also asked about the questions you talked about before, saying that I didn’t pay attention to it at the beginning, and I missed it. I hope I can explain it to them again. "
Ji Ziqi thought, if she knew that she would not say anything at the beginning, it would be better to talk about the topic directly, and she wasted so much tongue.
It seems that this group of people are just a little confused, but they really love magic.
Thinking about it again, I feel that it is hard to blame them. Everyone has a plot of a great man. As long as it is said by a great man, it will be regarded as the motto.
President Mei's prestige in the magic circle, especially in the Magician Association, is no lower than that of Master Jiang and Master Meng.
In this rumor, Master Jiang was caught in it, and his words naturally lacked justice.
But President Mei is an outsider, with an attitude of caring for the students of the Artisans Association and holding grievances. Coupled with his prestige, it is understandable for these people to get hot-headed for a while.
Today's Wuya Hall is still very quiet. Even though those who opposed her before did not sit with Tian Li and the others, it can be seen from the subtle expressions on their faces that they are struggling and entangled in their hearts.
Except for two or three people.Ji Ziqi let out a soft snort, and those people were the ones who had been inciting other students to oppose her before, and they were the inexperienced insiders that President Mei had just found.
Those people were still staring at her with hatred, Ji Ziqi didn't bother to pay attention, and went straight to Tian Li and the others.
"Brothers, how did you solve yesterday's problem? The junior sister is about to start the test!"
"No problem, Junior Sister Ji, feel free to ask! Brother, I guarantee that I can answer. If I can't answer, I will cover all the food expenses of all the brothers in the future." One person patted his chest and promised.
"Bah! Junior Sister Ji, don't listen to his nonsense! This guy is good at bragging!" A person next to him said disdainfully, "You seem to have forgotten that you borrowed money from me for dinner yesterday!"
"That's why I said that if I can't solve the problem, I will cover the food expenses for the next month, so as to prove my confidence in solving the problem!"
"roll!"
Several people laughed and made a fuss, completely ignoring the other people in Wuya Hall!
After the squabbling, the testing session began, and Tian Li and the others immediately sat upright.
These few people are very talented in number games, and their skill level is not bad, otherwise they would not be able to catch Master Liu's eyes.
Under Ji Ziqi's test, several people can basically answer, and Tian Li and Chen Han even have some new ideas.
This not only impressed Ji Ziqi, but also shocked the eyes of the other group of people.
In their minds, although most of Tian Li and others are seniors, because they have been trapped for too long and their skills have dropped too much, it is really difficult to respect them.
After all, if the magic world wants to gain the respect and recognition of others, qualifications are one thing, but ability is more important.
The previous Tian Li and others obviously did not have the ability.
But Tian Li and others, after being inspired by Ji Ziqi and stimulating their original potential, were able to solve problems that they were not sure of.
If there is more time, wouldn't it be possible to surpass their level soon?
no!If you stand still while others are striding forward, you may be overtaken soon, or even left behind.
When those people thought about it, their hearts suddenly became vigilant, and they began to wonder if their previous actions were wrong.
Originally, they were indifferent to whether to implement the new system.
If it wasn't for the news from unknown sources later, the last fight was just a game.
The news that they were being used by others ignited the anger in their hearts.
They wouldn't put it aside as a study of spells out of anger at all.
Magic is so beautiful, life is so short, who has time to care about other people's affairs?
Doubts last a lifetime, just like previous doubts, it is difficult to eliminate.
As Ji Ziqi said, no matter what, the final losers of this farce are none other than them!
It is not yet known how the imperial court will punish those who reject the exam, but the current defeat is already in front of their eyes.
Tian Li and the others, whom they have always looked down upon, have caught up with them and are about to overtake them.
If you still insist on going your own way, you will only waste your own time, how those people will live or how they will live.
Under this entanglement, most of the people who originally opposed Ji Ziqi had decided to let go of the matter.
Whether you are true or not, whether you are famous or not, what does it have to do with me?I just study my spells.
-
Out of the Artisan Association, Ji Ziqi was planning to go to Ji's mansion, Du Le said in a deep voice: "Miss Ji, don't go today for now."
"Why?" Ji Ziqi wondered.
"After coming out of Jiang's Mansion this morning, I noticed that someone has been secretly following our carriage." Du Le said:
"I'm worried that someone will be unfavorable to you. I have already sent someone to tell Duane. If there is any news today, I will send someone to send it directly."
"Then let's go back to Jiang's Mansion today!" With Du Le's words, Ji Ziqi was a little worried about the safety of Xiaofeng Xiaoyu and everyone in Jiang's Mansion.
What Du Le was worried about did not happen, but Du Xi sent a letter that made Ji Ziqi unable to calm down for a long time.
The inner ghost of the household department, that is, one of the masterminds behind the disaster relief and corruption case, turned out to be Fan Mingyan's younger brother, an uncle she had not known for a long time.
It turned out that yesterday afternoon, the shopkeeper Lian of Linxianju finally took action.
Du Xixin said in the middle: Even the shopkeeper is very skilled, the people he sent didn't dare to get too close, they could only follow him from a distance.
Even after the shopkeeper went out in the afternoon, he wandered around for more than two hours before finally entering a teahouse for a sip of tea.
The time to drink tea is very short. For a person who is tired from shopping for a long time, it is most normal to sit down and drink a cup of tea to quench his thirst.
But the people sent by Du Xi did not dare to neglect at all.About half an hour after Shopkeeper Lian left, Fan Mingyi appeared.
He took the seat where the shopkeeper had just sat, and ordered a bowl of tea.
The people who stayed behind to guard the teahouse saw him reach out and take out something under the table.
Even the shopkeeper has strong martial arts skills and is far away. The people Du Xi sent over did not see his movements.
But Fan Mingyi didn't know kung fu, he was just an ordinary person, so Du Xi's people could see him clearly even though he was far away.
After Du Xi received the news, he immediately transferred back the people who were sent to other officials of the household investigation department, and focused on the investigation of Fan Mingyi.
From his whereabouts, people around him to his property, nothing is left behind.
Originally, when investigating ghosts in the household department, Fan Mingyi was not deliberately excluded because Fan Mingyi was Ji Ziqi's uncle, because even Master Lin was also included in the scope of the investigation.
After yesterday's incident, Du Xi finally understood why Fan Mingyi's inappropriateness had not been found at all before.
Because those two people basically never meet!
Du Xi sent someone to conduct a thorough investigation overnight, and reorganized the information collected by his subordinates with Du An.
Finally found something wrong.
The property under Fan Mingyi's name is not so staggering. If the housekeeper manages it properly, it is completely reasonable to have the current family property.
The problem is that his son Fan Tong, his wife Chen Shi, his younger sister Fan Mingyan, his deceased elder brother, nephews, nephews and other hundreds of relatives all have a fortune in their names.
Each person's property is not much, but together, it is a lot of money.
As for whether these properties really belonged to those people, or whether Fan Mingyi actually just borrowed the names of those people, it was easy to verify.
As long as you find a few people and pretend to ask a few words unintentionally, you will know the truth.
Du An and Du Xi are cautious people, and Ji Ziqi knew that when this letter was delivered to her, it must have been verified by many parties.
No wonder Fan Mingyi sent someone to send a letter to Fan Mingyan not long after she checked the ledger, saying that she wanted to recognize her relatives, why did she go so early?
No wonder I always ask about the progress of the audit, intentionally or unintentionally, and when I really want to ask questions, I use excuses to avoid answering them.
It's no wonder that every time something happens, Fan Mingyi always takes a calm attitude, or tempts him to think in other directions.
Ji Ziqi met him not long ago, and he didn't have a deep relationship.
The people she cared about were Grandpa Lin who had great trust in Fan Mingyi, grandmother Fan Mingyan who was kind and kind to her, and even her little cousin Fan Tong who was aggressive.
As soon as this incident happened, these three people were probably the ones who were hit the hardest.
At the end of Du Xi's letter, he wrote: Fan Mingyi's property is still under final investigation, and all the evidence will be collected within two or three days at most.
In the last few days, please be careful with her!
After Ji Ziqi put down the letter, he let out a long breath.
"Xiaoxue, it's time for dinner!" Fan Mingyan's voice came from outside the door.
Ji Ziqi was startled, hurriedly put away the letter in his hand, stood up and opened the door.
"Grandmother, why did you come in person?" Fan Mingyan at the door had a lot of rosy complexion after being recuperated in Jiang's residence for a period of time.
Ji Ziqi held her hand affectionately, with complicated expressions in his eyes.
Fan Mingyan patted her hand lightly, and said softly: "Grandmother needs to move around more. Xiaoxing just woke up. Your mother is going to take care of her. Grandmother is here to call you."
The two chatted while walking.
Ji Ziqi said: "Grandmother, the weather is a bit abnormally hot this year. It's almost autumn, and it's still so hot. Can your old man be able to bear it?"
"Xiaoxue has a heart. Grandma is fine, but your grandfather often has chest tightness. You should visit his old man when you have time." Fan Mingyan said softly.
"Xiaoxue made a note of it." Ji Ziqi said: "When the busy time is over, Xiaoxue will ask mother to take us and the whole family to find a village in the countryside to escape, so as to get rid of the heat."
"Okay, grandma is waiting." Fan Mingyan said with a smile: "Speaking of this rural village, my grandmother lived in the same village with your aunt for two years.
The air in that place is so good, it’s not too hot in summer, it’s very cool! "
Ji Ziqi pretended to have no intention of asking, "Is that your grandma's Zhuangzi?"
Fan Mingyan shook his head, "No, it's Zhuangzi of your uncle's friend. Your uncle said that his friend seldom went there, so he told his grandmother to stay.
Your grandma, grandmother's aunt, likes jade jewelry, but doesn't like Zhuangzi, and finds it troublesome, so there is a whole room of jade jewelry left for your grandma, but only a few shops.
Later, when my grandmother got married, those shops were brought to the Lin Mansion together as a dowry, and then your aunt Ah Rao was married and used as her dowry.
Although there is no Zhuangzi in the grandma's shop, there are still a lot of jade and jewelry. When Xiaoxue gets married, I will definitely add makeup to you! "
By the end, it was meant to be a joke.
After hearing Fan Mingyan's words with his own ears and confirming Fan Mingyi's crime from the side, the smile on Ji Ziqi's face finally stopped.
She put her arms around Fan Mingyan's arm and leaned her head on her shoulder, her voice choked with sobs, "Grandma, Xiaoxue will not marry, and Xiaoxue will be with you forever!"
Fan Mingyan laughed lightly, stroked her head lightly, and said softly, "Silly girl!"
After two days, Duan Duxi finally collected all the evidence. After the two of them calculated, the total property in Fan Mingyi's hands was at least 1000 million taels.
The last trace of unbearable in Ji Ziqi's heart dissipated immediately, 1000 million taels, that is to say, at least 900 million taels are the proceeds of corruption.
In the past ten years, all kinds of disaster relief funds distributed by the imperial court totaled 500 million taels, and nearly [-]% of them fell into Fan Mingyi's bag!
How many people have been driven into despair because of his greed?
This kind of person deserves to die!There was coldness in Ji Ziqi's eyes.
Everything was ready, on the morning of August [-]th, Ji Ziqi took the questions on the ledger that he wrote down, and was going to explain everything to Mr. Lin.
Mr. Lin is not here, it is said that he was left behind by His Majesty the Emperor.
Ji Ziqi had no choice but to go to the ledger room.
The time of waiting for someone always passed very slowly, Ji Ziqi was a little upset, got up and walked back and forth between the ledgers on the shelves.
And randomly pick up one of the unread ledgers to check to pass the time.
Without realizing it, the door was quietly locked from the outside.
Suddenly, a strange smell drilled into Kiko's nose.
She sniffed and walked in the direction of the smell.
It seemed to come from outside the door.
Ji Ziqi walked into the door, stretched out his hand and pulled the door, but found that it couldn't be opened.
its stuck?
She pulled again, but still nothing.
Ji Ziqi sniffed the increasingly heavy smell, looked at the closed door, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
In an instant, flames burst into the sky outside the door.
A fiery and deadly breath rushed towards her.
Ji Ziqi stepped back quickly and shouted loudly, "Come on, it's on fire!"
The smell of kerosene spread quickly in the air, and the thick smoke was blown into the room along with the wind. Soon, Ji Ziqi felt a little difficult to breathe.
She coughed and looked around for something to put out the fire.
But here is the ledger room, there is nothing to extinguish the fire, but a lot of things to support the combustion.
The door of the room fell down with a crackling sound of burning, and the flames rushed in quickly.
Through the firelight, Ji Ziqi saw a group of stunned people standing not far away, startled by the sudden fire, and didn't know how to react for a while!
"Get water! Put out the fire!" Ji Ziqi shouted with all his strength.
The thick smoke took the opportunity to choke into her throat, and Ji Ziqi coughed desperately for a while, until she burst into tears, and felt that her internal organs were about to be coughed out, so she couldn't help but bend down.
Then she heard someone exclaim: "Miss Ji is inside! Quick, get water!"
Those dumbfounded officials finally started to move around in a hurry.
The fire was too strong, and soon the rows of shelves containing the ledgers in the entire ledger room caught fire, leaving only a small area where Ji Ziqi's innermost desk was located.
The temperature in the room rose instantly, and Ji Ziqi's whole body was almost drenched. She poured tea on her sleeve, covered her mouth and nose, and took a deep breath.
The wildly dancing flames stretched their teeth and claws in front of her, rushing to the roof, like hellfire, and like screaming demons, with the breath of death, they were about to pounce on her and destroy her.
This was the first time that Ji Ziqi felt death so close to his eyes.
The high temperature quickly burned out the oxygen, and Ji Ziqi's eyes began to blur, and his consciousness was lax.
In the haze, Du Feng's figure broke into her mind, and his deep and melodious voice like a cello hovered in her ears, "Qiqi, Qiqi!"
I'm sorry, Du Feng!
Obviously, the water in his body had been evaporated by the high temperature, but at the thought of Ji Ziqi saying goodbye to Du Feng forever, tears filled his eyes.
The moment she felt that her eyes could no longer be opened, a figure rushed in.
"Miss Ji, Miss Ji!"
It's Dule!
She is saved!
Ji Ziqi suddenly opened his eyes with a burst of strength from nowhere.
Du Le took off a coat that had been soaked in water from her head, and then hugged her horizontally, "Miss Ji, I'm sorry!"
The moment Du Le rushed out of the room with Ji Ziqi in his arms, the beams on the roof fell off.
The ledger room became a sea of flames, swallowing all the darkness inside.
Ji Ziqi, who was in Du Le's arms, turned his head and saw the last scene.
If it was a little bit late, even if it was only a few seconds, I would be separated from Du Feng Tianren forever!
Ji Ziqi was frightened for a while, and couldn't help trembling all over his body.
Du Le did not stop at the household department, but directly carried her into the carriage.
"Miss Ji, sit still, I'll take you to the clinic!"
Du Le only left a word, then hurriedly jumped onto the shaft of the chariot, flicked the whip vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Drive!"
The horseshoes were raised, and the carriage galloped away.
Master Lin who was in the palace was shocked when he heard the news, he immediately asked for leave and rushed back to the household department, the eldest prince Li Yuan also left the palace together.
However, Master Lin could only ride in the carriage, while Li Yuan rode his horse and galloped wildly.
Du Le drove the carriage for more than half a mile in a hurry. Suddenly, a pedestrian passing by the carriage in the opposite direction suddenly drew a knife and rushed towards him.
Immediately afterwards, someone pushed a cart to block the front, Du Feng reined in the stiff rope with all his strength, the horse let out a long cry, and the carriage stopped.
Then, about [-] killers pretending to be civilians pulled out various weapons such as swords from the pile of firewood and the standing shelves, and rushed towards the carriage behind Du Le.
Murderous everywhere!
Ji Ziqi didn't understand, but the sudden stop of the carriage, as well as the sudden sound of screaming and crying and running eagerly from outside, made her realize that something had happened.
At the moment those killers rushed towards the carriage, four men in gray appeared from nowhere and joined the battle.
These four people are the secret guards of the Du Mansion. With this addition, Du Le's pressure suddenly eased a lot.
However, it is only temporary.
One person versus four is no problem for Du Le and the others, but it will be very difficult to take care of Ji Ziqi, who has no kung fu.
One miss, the knife slashed at the carriage.
Ji Ziqi in the carriage had already raised the curtain.
Although this would directly expose her to the eyes of those killers, she didn't want to be slashed by a sword coming out of nowhere.
Anyway, those people already knew that she was in the carriage.
Seeing a knife slashing towards him, Ji Ziqi shrunk down in embarrassment and lay down on the carriage.
Du Le's sword arrived in time, blocking the second cut that the man was about to make.
Ji Ziqi was so frightened that he lay on the ground, not daring to move.
When the danger was temporarily lifted, she slowly sat up straight.
Suddenly a sword stabbed at him from nowhere, Ji Ziqi couldn't dodge it in time, he rolled on the spot and fell off the carriage.
"It hurts!" Ji Ziqi didn't dare to cry out, so he could only grit his teeth and endure silently.
The sword stabbed at her lingeringly, carrying a familiar pure and charming fragrance.
It's Qin Niang!
Ji Ziqi didn't have time to think about it, he rolled to the side in embarrassment, narrowly dodging the sword, but the sword entangled him again like a poisonous snake.
Ji Ziqi had inhaled a lot of smoke before, and his whole body was already weak. In addition, he had just tried his best to avoid the sword a few times, and the last trace of strength in his body was exhausted.
Seeing that Qin Niang's arrow was about to pierce her chest, there was a sudden roar, "Junior Sister! Be careful!"
Ji Ziqi was stunned, and Qin Niang, who was holding a sword on the opposite side and was about to pierce her chest, was also stunned.
At that instant, a figure rushed over.
Ji Ziqi could only hear the sound of a sword piercing into his body, and the painful muffled sound of the man on his body.
A Da, who followed Li Yuan closely, was startled and angry, drew out his sword, and slashed at Qin Niang with [-]% of his strength.
The speed was so fast that Qin Niang had no time to pull out the sword that pierced into Li Yuan's body, and Ah Da forcibly chopped off her entire arm.
"Ah!" On the street where the crowd had already dispersed, only Qin Niang's shrill scream could be heard.
Like an awl, it pierces the eardrums of those hiding in alleys or behind doors.
Li Yuan's blood quickly stained the clothes of the two of them red, his eyes were closed tightly, his complexion was as pale as paper, and his anger was like gossamer.
"Senior Brother Yang! Are you okay? Wake up!" Ji Ziqi tremblingly covered the wound on his chest with his hands, trying to stop the blood that kept coming out.
With the addition of Ada, the situation on the field quickly reversed.
But his master was injured, he only quickly dealt with the two of them, then took Li Yuan from Ji Ziqi, jumped on his horse and galloped towards the palace.
Ah Da didn't even have time to look at Ji Ziqi, whether it was anger or resentment, he didn't have time.
There is only one thing in his mind at the moment: his master is injured, he must send him to the palace as soon as possible, and seek medical treatment from the imperial physician!
In broad daylight, there was an assassination case on the street. After receiving the news, the people from the prefect of the capital rushed over immediately.
The killers on the field were quickly restrained, but the moment they were tied up, they all spat black blood and lowered their heads.
Looks like a bunch of dead men!
So what if you're dead?As long as the person is still there, there will always be errands, and there will always be traces to be found!
Du Le looked at Qin Niang, who was almost unconscious due to the pain of losing her arm, and ordered cruelly: "Remove her jaw, stop the bleeding, and keep her life alive!"
One of them left in response, Qin Niang's originally charming face lost its color due to her disguise, and now she showed a bit of ferocity due to the painful struggle.
The man carried out Du Le's order without hesitation, and everyone only had time to hear a muffled groan. The pain in his arm and jaw made Qin Niang faint from the pain.
People from the yamen quickly cleaned up the scene, and some of the more courageous neighbors poked their heads out from behind the closed shop doors.
Seeing that everyone had left, they started to jump out, quickly gathered together, and talked with relish about everything they had just seen.
Between the eyebrows, the panic just now had disappeared, as if he had personally participated in the fight, he started talking excitedly.
Ji Ziqi got into the carriage, still seeing Li Yuan's face as white as paper, and the strange and coquettish bright red on his body, after a while of dizziness, he couldn't help but vomited.
It's just that I haven't eaten for most of the day, and there is nothing left in my stomach, only a small amount of acidic water has been vomited out.
Du Le, who heard the movement in front, said worriedly: "Miss Ji, are you alright?"
"I'm fine!" Ji Ziqi lay on the bench weakly after vomiting, "Du Le, go to Ji's mansion first! Then help me buy a set of women's clothes."
"Miss Ji, let's go to the clinic first!"
"No need," Ji Ziqi insisted, "I'm not injured, just choked by the smoke, go to Ji's mansion first."
Du Le had no choice but to send her to Ji's mansion first.
Ah Tian in the kitchen quickly brought warm water. It was a hot day, and Ji Ziqi, who was soaked in the bucket, still felt the chill that could not be dispelled all over his body.
The white and red kept flashing in front of her eyes. Even with her eyes closed, she could still clearly feel the dazzling and miserable color and the bloody smell lingering at the tip of her nose.
Clothes arrived quickly.
Ji Ziqi didn't soak for too long, as soon as the clothes arrived, she immediately got out of the bucket, dried herself, put on clean clothes, then climbed onto the bed and got under the covers.
The quilt has been changed countless times, and Ji Ziqi still remembers that the last time she came to this bedroom, the color of the sheets was dark blue.
This time it was changed to a refreshing water blue color, but this still did not prevent Ji Ziqi from looking for Du Feng's taste.
The two of them once lay on this bed together, his smell must still be there!
Such thoughts made her feel a lot more at ease, as if she really smelled the familiar and pleasant aura of Du Feng.
Ji Ziqi, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown, slowly calmed down, and fell asleep with fatigue.
I don't know how long I slept, and I don't know if I dreamed of Du Feng, but Ji Ziqi was sweating all over his body amidst the blood red and pale, and then woke up.
It was getting dark outside.
It turned out that she had slept for so long.
Ji Ziqi, who had just woken up from a nightmare, lost her mind for a moment, and everything that happened since the fire slowly came back to her mind.
Obviously she almost died in the fire, but only the painful memory of blood red and pale was left in her eyes.
The room was a little dark, and Ji Ziqi groped out of bed.
Du Le's voice came from outside, "Miss Ji, are you awake?"
It seems that Du Le has been guarding the door.
"I'm up." Ji Ziqi stood up and opened the door, "Du Le, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
"Miss Ji wait a moment!" Du Le left in a hurry after speaking.
After a while, a bowl of warm porridge was served.
The temperature was just right, neither hot nor cold, and Ji Ziqi, who was hungry, drank it in two or three gulps.
Du Le handed over another bowl at the right time.
After drinking three bowls in a row, Ji Ziqi finally felt a sense of fullness in his stomach.
Du Le saw that she had regained her composure, and said, "Miss Ji, Du An and Du Xi are waiting in the study. Do you want to go back to Jiang's Mansion now, or see them before leaving?"
"Did my parents know the news?" Ji Ziqi asked.
Du Le said: "Jiang's Mansion, Lin's Mansion, Artisan Association, I all sent people to send the news that Miss Ji is safe and sound, but she was frightened."
"Okay," Ji Ziqi nodded, "Then let's go to the study."
Du An and Du Xi in the study were still a little restless even though they had heard from Du Le that Ji Ziqi was healthy.
After all, sometimes psychological damage is more serious than physical damage, and it is the easiest to ignore.
It wasn't until Ji Ziqi walked into the study that Du An and Du Xi saw that her face was only a little pale, but her expression was calm and composed as usual, so they were a little relieved.
Du An and Du Xi all handed over their hands and apologized: "Miss Ji, please forgive us for our improper arrangement and poor protection, which made Miss Ji almost get hurt!"
Ji Ziqi waved his hand, "It's not your fault! If it wasn't for Du Le and those four hidden guards, I would have been buried in the flames or killed by the killer's sword."
"Miss Ji, you were frightened just now, so I shouldn't have told you." Du Xi said, "But this matter is of great importance and time is running out, so I have to say it!"
"what's up?"
"The account book of the Ministry of Accounts has been paid once, and the new account book made by Miss Ji's notes,
Also because it was drenched with your sweat in the sea of fire, and later soaked in blood, more than [-]% of the contents inside have been blurred.
I do have some questionable parts of the ledger that Ms. Ji sent over earlier, but the amount is too small, and it must not be complete at all. "
Du Xi said: "I don't know if Ms. Ji has left an extra draft? Or do you still remember the content on it?"
"What?" Ji Ziqi, who was sitting on the chair, straightened his back suddenly, "Ninety percent of it is already blurred? Wouldn't all the previous efforts be in vain?"
"If Ms. Ji doesn't have a manuscript, or doesn't remember the content," Duane said sadly, "it's like this."
Du Xi said: "Although the government offices in various places have detailed accounts, they are scattered all over the country, and the journeys are long. Many things can happen between these trips."
Ji Ziqi regretted it in his heart.
When she was copying, she did have drafts one by one. Later, she made a new form, filled in all the numbers, and threw away the drafts.
It's been so long, how could I find it?
And with so many numbers, how could it be possible to remember?She is not Xiaofeng, she has the ability of photographic memory, she just has a high ability in arithmetic and mental arithmetic...
By the way, Xiaofeng!
Ji Ziqi's eyes showed ecstasy, and he said excitedly to several people: "I didn't leave the manuscript, and I don't remember most of the content on it, but someone can!"
Duan and the others were surprised and delighted, "Who!"
"My brother Xiaofeng!" Ji Ziqi's heart was beating wildly, "Xiaofeng has the ability to never forget!
A few days ago when the evidence materials were sorted out, Xiaofeng came to my room, and I teased him with the numbers on it! "
"Really?" Du Xi's chubby face was full of surprise.
There are many wonders in the world, and there are indeed many people in this world who have supernatural abilities that ordinary people can't imagine!
However, this has always been just heard, never seen.
Moreover, it was rumored that the facts were always exaggerated. He had heard about Xiaofeng's ability, but he was a little worried that it would be exaggerated.
"Yeah." Ji Ziqi nodded confidently, "Xiaofeng really has this ability, his ability is more powerful than the rumors!
It's just that my grandfather and parents are afraid of causing trouble, so they always forbid him to show it outside. "
