Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

Seeing this, Di Renjie hurriedly asked Zhang Lingyun to coax her quickly.

Zhang Lingyun nodded, went to hold his sister's hand, and comforted her in a low voice not to be afraid.

"Let her go down first, she shouldn't go through this at such a young age." Li Mingda said.

Zhang Lingyun thanked Li Mingda, coaxed Zhang Feixue to cry less, and asked the nanny to take Zhang Feixue away.

Only then did Li Chongyi ask Di Renjie: "Do you know each other?"

"My father and Governor Zhang are acquainted, and the two families have some contacts." Di Renjie said.

Yuchi Baoqi: "Hey, why didn't you tell us about this?"

Di Renjie was about to argue, but Fang Yizhi spoke first, "He said earlier that it's because of your bad memory."

"Have you already said that?" Yuchi Baoqi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Changsun Huan inquiringly.

Changsun Huan shook his head, firmly expressing that he didn't know about it, "Maybe Huaiying told Yizhi alone."

"Second Cousin wasn't there at the time, but we were. It's true that you forgot." Li Mingda also remembered that Di Renjie had indeed mentioned about Cizhou Governor.Because there were so many things on the road these days, she also forgot.

Yuchi Baoqi frowned and tapped his head with a fan, recalled it himself, but still couldn't remember, then looked at Li Mingda curiously, asking for clarification.

Di Renjie glanced at Zhang Lingyun, with a look of embarrassment and nervousness.

Li Mingda knew what Di Renjie said at the time, but it was really not easy to say these words in front of Zhang Lingyun, so he pretended to tease Yuchi Baoqi, "Don't tell, you want to go."

Yuchi Baoqi looked at the radiant princess, her brows and eyes were full of lightness and cuteness, and suddenly a fire burned from her face to her ears.He hurriedly lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "Then I'll think about it again."

It was the first time Li Mingda found that Yuchi Baoqi couldn't help teasing him so much, so he let him go, and turned to whisper to Li Chongyi who was still doubtful: "I'll explain this to you later."

Li Chongyi understood, nodded, and did not pursue the matter of Di Renjie's acquaintance with Zhang Lingyun.Then ask Zhang Lingyun about the details before and after the death of his parents, what is unusual about it.

Zhang Lingyun shook his head, "I don't think there's anything special about it, except that Ji Zhiyuan came to find trouble two days ago."

"Since there is a suspicion of poisoning, you must first open the coffin for an autopsy to determine the cause of death. It's too late today, so let's do it tomorrow! You and your servants can recall carefully first. The night before your parents died, both What you ate and drank, who you have had contact with. You don’t have to answer now, pass the order down, carefully recall every detail, and tell us when the time comes. Remember, don’t let go of any suspicious things. Report back in detail. In addition, write me a list of all the people in your mansion when the incident happened." Li Chongyi learned a lot from Fang Yi along the way, and now he is using what he has learned.

When Zhang Lingyun heard that the coffin would be opened for an autopsy, his eyes widened.He hurriedly looked at Di Renjie, then looked around the nobles present with erratic eyes, and immediately knelt down again.

"What do you mean?" Li Chongyi asked.

Zhang Lingyun kowtowed to Li Chongyi as a big salute, "Lingyun has something to say, but he is afraid to speak up."

"Let's just say, you are a child and you just lost your parents. I forgive you for your innocence."

Zhang Lingyun nodded, and pleaded with Li Chongyi while weeping: "Aye, Auntie, who has just been buried in the earth, it is really taboo to dig up the grave and open the coffin. If you disturb the peace of the dead, not only will the living be uneasy, but also If the feng shui of our Zhang family is broken, it will be difficult to prosper from now on."

Li Mingda looked at him coldly: "Listen to what you said, you know that your parents died in vain, but you don't want to help them find the murderer?"

"He has a backing, and he is a tyrant in the local area. Even if he did it, it must not be done by himself. If he ordered someone to poison him, the evidence will never be found on him. There are many family members in his mansion, and he has a lot of money. , there has never been a shortage of domestic slaves who are willing to die for him. When this matter got serious, he pushed someone out to take the blame, so he himself could live in peace. How about us? He will be angry when he turns around, and he will come to embarrass me and my sister again. When the time comes All the nobles left, but in the end we left us brother and sister to be bullied by him for nothing. Although Aye and Auntie are gone, we brothers and sisters still have to live on, and I still want to watch my sister get married and have a good home After Zhang Lingyun finished speaking, he kowtowed to Li Chongyi and others, begging them to calm down and stop investigating this case. The two brothers and sisters were lonely and helpless, and could no longer bear any trouble.

Li Chongyi was very shocked by Zhang Lingyun's statement, and immediately scolded him for being unfilial, he was really a white-eyed wolf raised by his parents, and he had no sympathy for his parents' futile death.

"Of course I don't want them to die, but when people are dead, no matter how hard we investigate, they won't be able to survive. Aye most hoped for us to be successful and restore the glory of the Zhang family's ancestors. The matter of digging graves and breaking Feng Shui, he himself I know, and I definitely won’t be willing, this is the real disobedience in Ling Yun’s view.” After Zhang Lingyun finished speaking, he sincerely kowtowed to Li Chongyi and Li Mingda, thanking them for their concern, but he didn’t want to pursue this matter further, He really didn't want to break the tomb that his parents had just built.

Li Chongyi never thought that he would be rejected by an eight-year-old child. He slapped the table angrily, glared at Zhang Lingyun and snorted, "If you wanted to calm things down, you should control your servants' mouths and your second uncle's." Mouth. Now that the incident is well known to everyone, you are trying to argue with your tongue, saying that you are afraid, so it is up to you to take it seriously!"

After Li Chongyi yelled, he saw Zhang Lingyun's sullen face, his eyes closed indifferently, as if he was silently resisting himself.Li Chongyi became even more angry, and forced him to leave quickly.

Zhang Lingyun apologized politely, kowtowed, and then silently withdrew.It's strange that a child like him, who has just been yelled at by the county king, still has such a calm attitude, as if he is not afraid of death.

After Zhang Lingyun left, the room was quiet for a while.Everyone, including Li Mingda, saw Zhang Lingyun's abnormality.

Li Chongyi was still angry, he got up suddenly, wandered in the middle of the room with his hands behind his back, then turned to Li Mingda and the others with eyes full of anger: "How can there be such a son in this world who only cares about himself and even dies in vain?" Parents don't even care!"

Di Renjie looked at Li Chongyi with a sullen face and said nothing.

However, Li Chongyi happened to catch Di Renjie's anomaly immediately, and spread his anger to him, "And you, why don't you tell them if you know them!"

"Cousin, why bother to get angry, his family is in Jinyang, he came from a powerful family, it's normal for him to know Cizhou Governor. Even you, cousin, also know Zhang Shunyi, but do you know about the death of their husband and wife?" Li Mingda said.

Di Renjie hurriedly saluted silently, and thanked Li Mingda for his help in explaining, "I really don't understand the situation of the death of Governor Zhang. After Zhang Shunxin caused the incident, we knew about it, because I felt that since it was related to someone I knew Involvement, let alone explaining these relationships, it will affect everyone's judgment."

Li Chongyi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, feeling that what Li Mingda said made sense, and Di Renjie's words were sincere, "I was just dizzy from that child's anger. It's just like what Huaiying said, it's normal for him to know Zhang Shunyi's family. Zhang When Shunyi and his wife had an accident, you were both still in Anzhou, so there is no way you could have anything to do with it."

"But when did you say that Governor Zhang..." Yuchi Baoqi was still thinking about it, and asked Di Renjie in a low voice, puzzled.

"I'll repeat it to him again. It just so happens that what you said back then may be useful in solving the case." Li Mingda said to Di Renjie.

Di Renjie nodded, and was interrupted by Yuchi Baoqi just as he opened his mouth to speak.

"Ah, I remembered it all." Yuchi Baoqi suddenly realized that this happened when they left Anzhou. "You met me when you were studying at home. The eldest son of the governor of Cizhou died at the age of ten. Because He was writing poems with your children, he was a bit late, he did not do well, he was laughed at, and when he turned around, he was beaten by Zhang Shunyi, and he was fined not eating or drinking and kneeling in the ancestral hall for two days, and he was half dead when he came out , and caught the wind and cold again, and ended up dying, right?"

Di Renjie nodded.

Yuchi Baoqi moved his eyeballs, and said a little angrily: "I still remember you said that when Zhang Shunyi and his wife held the funeral for the eldest son, they scolded their eldest son severely, and they didn't have any regrets. They only blamed their son for being cruel. , without conscience, to leave them so early, causing them to send the white-haired man to the black-haired man. But they didn't know that they punished the child too much and caused his death."

"Yes, you have a good memory now." Di Renjie sighed.

Yuchi Baoqi raised her chin triumphantly, "It's natural, I can't guarantee anything else, but in terms of memory, and... just memory, I'm pretty good."

Li Chongyi sighed when he heard this, and suddenly realized, "No wonder I saw that Zhang Lingyun's face was not sad when he mentioned the death of his parents. Could it be that Zhang Shunyi and his wife were too harsh on him?"

"Very likely." Fang Yi said straight.

Yuchi Baoqi also nodded, "Don't look at my father's temper, but he has always been very kind to us brothers, and he only speaks harshly when he makes mistakes. If he beats or scolds, he even kneels in the ancestral hall." I have never been given food for a few days. If this happened to me, I am afraid I will complain too, although it is wrong to blame my parents. But who would not feel pain when such torture is added to the body? Said, I'm afraid I feel extremely resentful."

Li Chongyi frowned and pondered for a while, "That's no wonder, no wonder he didn't want us to investigate his parents' death in vain, and only thought that their siblings could live well in the future, because the resentment persisted."

"Don't worry about him, we just need to investigate as usual, the matter has been reported to the imperial court, so we can't help him say 'no'." Fang Yizhi suggested to Li Chongyi.

Li Chongyi nodded, and then ordered Lin Steward of the Governor's Mansion to get out the list of personnel, and then list all the related people who Zhang Shunyi and his wife had contacted before their death.Then call these relevant people together in one place so that they can be interrogated.

Butler Lin agreed, and hesitantly said to Li Chongyi, Li Mingda and the others: "I also ask the princess, the county king and all the nobles to forgive Xiao Langjun. He is timid because he is scared of being troubled. He just wants to live a peaceful life."

Li Mingda shook his head, "He is quite courageous."

There are not many people in this world who dare to say those words like the princess and the king.

Li Mingda immediately ordered someone to lift Zhang Shunxin up.

When Steward Lin saw Zhang Shunxin, he didn't recognize him. He carefully identified him for a long time, and suddenly tears filled his eyes, then he knelt down suddenly, grabbed Zhang Shunxin's arm, and called him "Erlang Jun".

Zhang Shunxin also looked at Butler Lin several times before realizing who he was, "You are Lin Wen, Lin Wen?"

"It's the slave. Mr. Erlang, when you left, there were no wrinkles on your face. You are thinner than before, but your spirit is better." Lin Butler laughed and cried.

He turned his eyes to look at Zhang Shunxin's legs bound by wooden planks, and asked what was wrong.

Yuchi Baoqi immediately explained what had happened.

Butler Lin cried even more fiercely, and the hand holding Zhang Shunxin's arm was trembling, "It's all my fault, I blame this slave for not holding back and telling Mr. Erlang about the family affairs. If he didn't tell Mr. Erlang, Mr. Erlang wouldn't be so concerned. He almost died because of it.”

Zhang Shunxin smiled and shook his head to express that it was okay, he turned his head to look at Li Mingda, then at Fang Yizhi and the others, and said to Steward Lin: "There are so many noble people helping to investigate this case, even if I die right now, it's worth it." .”

Lin Butler kept blaming himself.

Zhang Shunxin comforted him for a while, then turned his eyes to search the house, but he didn't see the two children, so he asked the butler Lin where Zhang Lingyun and Zhang Feixue were, he hadn't seen these two children yet.

"I just went down, I will tell them later and let them see you." Lin Guanjia said.

Zhang Shunxin nodded, and moved his body vigorously, but it still didn't work, so he could only maintain the original posture and lie down, "Unfortunately, my legs and feet are inconvenient now. The snacks I made are delicious, and the two children will definitely like them."

Butler Lin nodded excitedly with tears in his eyes.

Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Li Mingda probably also understood the relationship between Zhang Shunxin and this butler Lin.This housekeeper Lin should be an old slave whom he had known very well when he ran away from home.

After careful questioning, it was indeed so.

Zhang Shun kowtowed to Li Mingda again and again, explaining that the reason why he was so rude to the princess at the beginning was entirely out of his own difficulties, and thanked the princess for personally investigating the case, so as to seek justice for his brother and sister-in-law's death.

Li Mingda sneered, "You are thanking the wrong person. You are willing to come here. The person who decides for you is King Hejian. We are just following along to join in the fun."

"Thank you!" Zhang Shun took a defensive look at Li Chongyi, and kowtowed to thank him.

Li Chongyi sneered, and warned Zhang Shunxin not to be too happy, don't forget that he has offended the princess, and when this case is over, his punishment will be executed immediately.

Zhang Shunxin's face collapsed in an instant, with a little regret in his eyes.But no one cared about him, and he was immediately carried away mercilessly.

Li Chongyi couldn't help sighing, "I didn't realize it, but the Zhang family is a bit arrogant, and they don't like me."

"It's probably because my cousin has done a lot of bad things on weekdays and didn't leave a good impression on people." Li Mingda half-jokingly said.

Li Chongyi immediately sat upright, "No, I am very organized in my work, and I have never overstepped the rules. It's just that I usually like to play a little bit, spend a little bit extravagantly, and like to make friends with like-mindedness."

"I can hear it," Li Mingda turned his head and whispered to Li Chongyi, "You like to pull a group of people and have fun together."

Li Chongyi was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, "But all I spend is my own money, who is in the way?"

"It doesn't bother anyone, but it's easy to misunderstand, and I don't blame Zhang Shunxin for his attitude towards you."

Li Chongyi nodded helplessly, this is also possible, it seems that he has to restrain himself in the future.

While speaking, a servant came forward to report that the housekeeper had already summoned all the people who had contact with Zhang Shunyi and his wife on the day of the incident.

Li Chongyi immediately ordered people to ask everyone's testimony to see if anyone remembered anything special on the day of the incident.

However, after waiting for an hour, there was no clue.

On the day of the incident, Zhang Shunyi's wife took care of the family affairs at home as usual. Except for the old slave who sent a few calls back, she had three meals a day. Zhang Shunyi, who was waiting for the completion of official duties, ate dinner.Then it was late at night, and the husband and wife went to bed in the same room.

Li Mingda and others were most concerned about what Zhang Shunyi and his wife ate before going to bed.

"Except for dinner, we just ate a bowl of steamed cheese with sugar and drank some water, nothing else."

Li Chongyi asked the cook who made the sugar-steamed crispy cheese again, and carefully considered the delivery process.

At that time, the cook made delicious food, and the maid took it away, and did not meet anyone during the period.The cook who made the pastry and the maid who served the pastry were both servants of the governor's mansion.On weekdays, I didn't have any conflicts with the host family, nor was I ever reprimanded.So it can almost be ruled out that the possibility of them killing the master with drugs.

Li Mingda also specially observed the expressions of these two people, there was no expression of fear, fear or remorse, so she also felt that these two people were not the murderers.

"I don't know what the poison is, and the approximate time of poisoning. Such an investigation is too clueless. We have to wait until tomorrow to open the coffin to find out whether it is really poisoned, and what kind of poison is the best." Li Mingda said.

Li Chongyi also felt the same, so he decided to give up on it. Because they rushed here, they were also tired, "Then let's take a good rest today to recharge our batteries and wait until tomorrow for further investigation."

Before Fang Yi left, he ordered the people below: "After you have written all the testimonies and statements of these people, show them to me."

Li Chongyi and Li Mingda had already left the courtyard at this time.

Li Chongyi asked Li Mingda puzzled: "Since both Zhang Shunxin and Zhang Lingyun think that the murderer who poisoned Zhang Shunyi and his wife was Ji Zhiyuan, why don't we bring Ji Zhiyuan to trial at this time, and wait a little longer?"

"This is to know as soon as possible whether Ji Zhiyuan has a shortcut to send someone to poison him. My cousin just listens to me." Li Mingda then asked Li Chongyi how close he was to Ji Zhiyuan.

Li Chongyi was a little hesitant, not knowing how deep he should talk to Li Mingda.

Li Mingda raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "Just now I just said that I have a sense of propriety in doing things, and I will not overdo it. I just asked you a question, and you are too guilty to answer it?"

"Don't dare, I'm just afraid that if I speak too clearly, you will misunderstand me." Li Chongyi smiled embarrassedly, "In fact, we don't have a deep friendship. But King Jiang Xia asked me to take care of his bastard nephew. There are some words, but I have time to spare, and I have indeed taken care of Ji Zhiyuan a few times."

"How to take care of it?" Li Mingda turned his head to look at Li Chongyi, and found that his expression was very embarrassing and a little guilty.

"When he was in some trouble, I sent someone to greet him." Li Chongyi's eyes drifted to the ground in front left.

"ridiculous."

"What? Why did you suddenly say it was ridiculous?"

"I treat my cousin sincerely, but my cousin doesn't want to tell me the truth." After Li Mingda said that, he left with a displeased expression.

Li Chongyi hurriedly apologized, and said to Li Mingda: "It's not that I don't want to tell you the truth, it's just about me and Ji Zhiyuan, it's not suitable for you, a girl who hasn't left the court, to listen to it."

"Then I understand." Li Mingda said.

Li Chongyi blushed suddenly, it was the first time he knew how to blush in front of a girl at such a young age.Li Chongyi laughed and sighed: "You are so young, what do you know?"

"You guys did some obscene things." Li Mingda pierced Li Chongyi's whole body with thorns in his eyes.

The princess is slim and graceful, with both appearance and majesty, which is very intimidating.

Li Chongyi's heart trembled, knowing that he really couldn't treat Princess Jinyang as an ignorant child.In order to save face, Li Chongyi said something to avoid misunderstandings.

"My cousin often says that he is lecherous but not lewd, so what you guys are doing is interesting after all, it is very rare." Li Mingda continued to deliberate.

Li Chongyi's face was completely burned this time, he thought he was thick-skinned, but when Li Mingda revealed the matter so veiledly, he was suddenly very embarrassed.He bowed his hands respectfully to Li Mingda and begged her to stop talking.

"It's okay not to say anything, but you can't hide this matter. Write it down truthfully. If you can't show it to me, then give it to Fang Yizhi, and he will judge whether you have been involved too much."

Li Chongyi froze for a moment, then nodded.Suddenly, he wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he jokingly asked Li Mingda how he was sure that Fang Yizhi would not be bribed by him.

"I may not believe others, but Fang Yizhi, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy him off. He is a person who dares to refuse even a saint's proposal of marriage, and he is afraid that you will fail as a county king?" Li Mingda said.

Li Chongyi smiled wryly, "Today is really not a good day. I was just underestimated by Zhang Lingyun and Zhang Shunxin's nephew, and you are laughing at me again. Okay, okay, I'm just a county king, and I have no future."

"What's the matter, my identity is in front of him, so I guess I'm just a princess." Li Mingda said.

Li Chongyi admired and praised: "That's true. I admire the person who dares to say in front of a saint that the most difficult thing in the world is to marry a princess. But usually he is elegant and gentle, and he doesn't seem like a person who can say such ruthless words."

"You can't be judged by appearances. It's a gentle gentleman who can do and can't do anything. Since Fang Yi has always felt that a princess should not be married, then he can't be wrong to explain what he thinks bluntly. It's just being calm." Li Mingda's eyes were deep. Ning, sighed leisurely.

It's just that Li Mingda didn't understand, since he didn't want to marry the princess, why did Yuchi Baoqi say that Fang Yi had been to her outside the inn in Taiwu County that day...

Which of these contradictory things is true?Li Mingda didn't have time to think deeply, but was pulled back to Shen'er by Li Chongyi's words.

"Yes, yes, people should not be judged by their appearance. When it comes to appearance, I can't help but sigh with emotion. You said that God is so unfair. He gave him a good family background and let him have talent, appearance, and virtue. Why don't I have one?" Li Chongyi Glancing at Li Mingda, he sighed, "If it wasn't for Fang Yizhi's previous remarks, I really think he is a good candidate for the son-in-law. But since he doesn't want to marry the princess, then I happen to have someone else here—"

"Stop!" Li Mingda waved his hand at Li Chongyi, "I'm here to accompany you to solve the case, not to listen to your marriage. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Li Mingda nodded at Li Chongyi, and left in a huff.With a graceful figure, people can't take their eyes off.

Li Chongyi naturally has no unreasonable thoughts about Li Mingda, but this does not prevent him from admiring beauties.He had seen too many beautiful and boneless beauties, but now he suddenly felt that a beauty with both beauty and talent like Li Mingda was more interesting.The beauty of this beauty means that the picture is fresh for a while, but the real person will make people think more and more interesting.

Li Chongyi laughed at himself for thinking too much, and was about to go back when he saw Zhou Xiaohe running over to salute him.

Li Chongyi thought of her, raised his eyebrows and asked her if she was settled.

"Xiao He doesn't want to live in Uncle's high-end villa, Xiao He wants to live in a post station just like Uncle and Princess."

"It's bitter in the station, it's not a place for a delicate person like you to live."

Zhou Xiaohe was not convinced, "Princess Jinzhiyuye, you can live there, Xiaohe is just from the market, how can you not live there."

Li Chongyi was stunned for a moment, and then confirmed asking Zhou Xiaohe if he could really endure the hardships in the station.Zhou Xiaohe nodded firmly.Li Chongyi smiled helplessly, and agreed to take her to the station.

"But it's okay, you are not allowed to complain about the word 'no' when the time comes."

"Uncle, don't worry, I won't complain, I will never complain." After Zhou Xiaohe thanked Li Chongyi, he happily left.

Li Chongyi watched her back again, and shook his head helplessly.

……

When it was getting late, Li Mingda left the inn with Tian Hanshan, Biyun and two unsuspecting followers.The three rode to the gate of Ji Zhiyuan's mansion, looked at the gate, then turned their horses and went to a nearby Chunxiang restaurant.

Li Mingda is in room No. [-] of Tianzi, while Tian Hanshan is in room No. [-] of Tianzi.

Not long after, Li Mingda heard footsteps going upstairs, and a doctor in a restaurant called him "Ji Dalang" happily and respectfully.After a loud promise, the vigorous footsteps came closer and closer, heading straight towards the door where Li Mingda was. The footsteps became the loudest in front of the door, and then swept past and entered the next door.

"Someone told me that someone from King Hejian invited me here, but you?" Ji Zhiyuan said in a high voice.

Tian Hanshan replied immediately, telling Ji Zhiyuan that he was the attendant of King Hejian.

"Excuse me, excuse me, but why have I never seen you?" Ji Zhiyuan's voice was full of doubts about Tian Hanshan.

"It was because of his face that the king of the county sent his slaves here." Tian Han said.

A moment of silence.

Then came Ji Zhiyuan's voice again.

"If you send me a message, just pass it on to my house, but why did you make an appointment here?" Ji Zhiyuan was obviously still doubting Tian Hanshan's identity.

Tian Hanshan showed the fish charm to Ji Zhiyuan.

Ji Zhiyuan saw that the rank written on the back of the fish charm was the current king of Hejian who concurrently served as governor of Jinzhou, so he believed it.

"The reason why I didn't go directly to your mansion to explain it in detail is because the rumors are tight recently, and the county king is here to investigate the case, and he is afraid that someone will stare at him and cause trouble."

"The wind is tight, investigate the case?" Ji Zhiyuan was puzzled, and asked Tian Hanshan suspiciously, what was going on.

Tian Hanxiu said: "It seems that Ji Dalang still doesn't know that the death of the governor of Cizhou was suspected to be Ji Dalang, and now he has sued the county king, requesting a thorough investigation and bringing Ji Dalang to justice. Only after the secrets are found out can it be announced to the public. Because the county king thought that he had a good personal relationship with Ji Dalang in the past, he asked Nu Lai to tell you in advance."

Ji Zhiyuan was still full of doubts, "I also heard about the sudden death of Governor Zhang and his wife at the same time. But what does it have to do with me? How could I be found and still be so taboo?"

"Someone sued that the murderer is you." Tian Hanshan said concisely.

"Me?" Ji Zhiyuan pointed back at himself, and smiled in surprise, "How could it be me, don't say I don't have the courage, no matter how courageous I am, I don't need to kill Zhang Cishi and his wife, right? I'm not doing any good."

"It's because of revenge. Did Ji Dalang ever have a misunderstanding with Inspector Zhang because of the outrageous regulation of the farm?" Tian Hanshan continued to ask.

"It happened twice, but it was all because Governor Zhang was too bad-tempered and stubborn. How many times have I explained to him that the house that is out of order is not mine, but my uncle's, and he can't forcefully demolish it. If he doesn't believe it, he thinks I'm using excuses to prevaricate him. But it really has nothing to do with me, that house really belongs to my uncle." Ji Zhiyuan explained.

Tian Hanxi asked him again if after Zhang Shunyi's death, he went to the governor's mansion several times to harass and threaten other children.

Hearing this, Ji Zhiyuan said in a helpless tone, "How can there be any threat? I just heard that Governor Zhang and his wife left, leaving a son and a daughter alone and pitiful at home. Thinking of the misunderstanding with him before I didn't care about anything, so I went to express my condolences. For this reason, I prepared a heavy funeral ceremony, and they also accepted it. Why now it is said that I threatened them, which is not ridiculous. I am an idler with no official title , It’s just farming at home and raising birds, how can I dare to offend any governor.”

Tian Hanshu saw that he explained his sincerity, but he didn't know why it was true or false.But on the surface, he had to pretend to trust Ji Zhiyuan, and told Ji Zhiyuan that he had written everything down, and he would report back to the county king later.

Ji Zhiyuan agreed, and immediately got up to send Tian Hansan politely.

Tian Hanshan walked a few steps, and when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly turned around and said to Ji Zhiyuan: "By the way, the county king also said that if this matter was really done by Da Lang, you must tell him the truth. In this way, his subsequent investigations will be measured, and Da Lang will be prevented from getting into trouble."

Ji Zhiyuan shook his head, "It's not me. After you go back, tell the county king to let him investigate casually. I guarantee with my life that Governor Zhang's death has nothing to do with me."

Tian Hanshan agreed, opened the door and left, then pedaled downstairs and rode away.

Zhuxi, Ji Zhiyuan's attendant, pushed the window and after confirming that Tian Hanshan had left, he turned his head and said to Ji Zhiyuan, "Riding a jujube horse, it looks good, it must be from the county prince's mansion."

"En." After Ji Zhiyuan responded, the room became quiet.

Li Mingda leaned against the wall and listened carefully, only hearing the breathing of the two of them.

After a long time, Ji Zhiyuan spoke with a lot of doubts.

"Zhuxi, why do people always misunderstand me?"

"They are stupid, Da Lang doesn't have to blame himself." Zhu Xi said.

Ji Zhiyuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said to Zhuxi: "No, I think this matter is strange."

Zhuxi: "Zhang Lingyun is just a child. He may be too afraid and talk nonsense. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart. Perhaps Da Lang has been wronged for this reason."

Ji Zhiyuan: "Oh, actually there are quite a lot of misunderstandings like this, but just because I look a little fierce, everyone must lump me together with those murders and arson, and forced sex for prostitution?"

"No, I can't sit still, I have to find evidence to prove my innocence, I'll go and explain it to King Hejian!" After Ji Zhiyuan said that, he rushed out of the house, not wanting to be approached by a person at this time, almost bumping into him.

Ji Zhiyuan hurriedly saluted and apologized.

Li Mingda opened his eyes slightly, and looked at this legendary bully. He was nearly six feet long, very tall and strong, with hard eyebrows and fierce eyes, and a face full of flesh.Even if this person doesn't speak, doesn't stare, and just looks expressionless, it's ferocious enough to frighten people.

However, Li Mingda saw that he knew how to apologize, and knew that he should be a polite person, so he discarded the influence of his appearance on him in his heart.

"It's okay, it's my fault that I didn't notice that you were going to open the door when I was walking this way," Li Mingda said.

"This little gentleman is too polite. It's obvious that I was in a hurry and wanted to leave quickly. I apologize, I sincerely apologize." Ji Zhiyuan said with a smile.

When he smiled, the flesh on his face was pulled up, and the corners of his eyes were the same, but he looked more fierce, without any kindness.

"I think Mr. Lang is very anxious, so let's go, don't waste time here." Li Mingda laughed.

It was the first time Ji Zhiyuan saw such a handsome young man, and it was the first time he met him without turning around and running away, but speaking to himself so gently.Ji Zhiyuan was overjoyed, so happy, he immediately forgot what he was anxious about before, and said that he wanted to invite Li Mingda to drink, as an apology.

"Then Nineteenth Lang would be more respectful than obedient."

"Your name is Jiujiulang, hahaha, you have so many children, I'm a little envious. Our Ji family has become a single passer to me, and I'm the only one. I used to have a younger sister, but unfortunately she died of illness." Ji Zhiyuan After sitting down, I couldn't help sighing when I talked to Li Mingda.

"The dead are like this, the living should think about the present."

Ji Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Mingda and nodded, "What Nineteenth Lang said is right, I'm sure you are my friend today." After finishing speaking, Ji Zhiyuan toasted Li Mingda boldly.

Li Mingda refused to drink, and said to Ji Zhiyuan, "I only drink wine."

Ji Zhiyuan hurriedly ordered people to prepare.

Li Mingda still didn't drink, "Jade cups are fine."

Ji Zhiyuan sent Zhuxi to the mansion to get two jade cups.

"When I like to eat wine, I pair it with a plate of bright grilled shrimp."
