Chapter 24 Biological Parents
"You want to help me catch the murderer?"
Ji Yanran looked around and the Li family's face looked as beautiful as if they had opened a dyeing workshop.
"Yes," Gu Heng's voice was clear, "This should not be difficult for me."
Li Lu's face became even paler. He had long heard that Prince Chengen was a famous difficult person. If the prince took action, wouldn't it be impossible to hide it? Thinking of this, he hid guiltily.
Ji Yanran said, "Does the prince know that the second uncle has found out that the murderer is the slave in the inner courtyard. Our Li family is also a high-ranking family in Taiyuan. If you can't even catch your own slaves, you will be angry to death."
Ji Yanran didn't ask him, and looked straight at Li Wenshu: "Uncle San, do you think so?"
"Yes, yes," Li Wenshu rolled up his sleeves immediately, "As long as our Li family wants to catch it, it is impossible to catch it. Ask the people in the government office to set up checkpoints along the way and give the yamen runners some rewards. Not to mention Taiyuan Prefecture, they can't leave the city at all. Last year, the servants at home would just want to steal some money with foreign thieves. As soon as the person stepped out of the Li family, they were caught by the guards. Your second uncle drank two glasses of wine to cheer them up, stripped their clothes with his own hands, and used a horse whip... Ouch... the skin was so churning... that mighty."
Li Wenqing wanted to slap him: "Enough..."
Li Wenshu was scolded and trembled.
Li Wenqing said: "There is no need for an outsider to interfere in our Li family's affairs."
Ji Yanran nodded obediently, bit her lip, and looked at Gu Heng with a bright look: "Criminal, you see, this family is the second uncle who is the leader."
Gu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, it was really interesting, just like when he saw her at Qishan Temple. Even though he knew she was cheating, he looked more real than anyone else, and his smile or sorrow was just right, as if it was a scene.
Gu Heng raised his lips: "Then you have to think about it. If the murderer takes action again, then..." He paused, "I can't bear to lose this deal."
The scorching eyes were aggressive.
Ji Yanran lowered her eyes: "If I can't catch anyone tomorrow, I will not care about the face of the Li family, so I will consider the prince's proposal."
The genius believed her words.
She just used him to suppress the Li family.
Gu Heng smiled. What he was even more curious about was how she would catch the murderer if he didn't show up.
"Second uncle," Ji Yanran suddenly remembered, "You have to send more people out. As long as you catch Mrs. Xiao's family back, I will know if there are any murderers in it. That night... I can see clearly."
Li Wenqing's eyes flashed with surprise. Li Lu next to him couldn't help but clench his hand. Ji had clearly said he had seen nothing before, so he just found someone to scapegoat. Now... she changed her words and was digging a big trap for him. Even if he killed the son of Mrs. Xiao, he would have brought back, and Ji denied that it was not the one who harmed her... the case was still not settled.
So that's the case, Gu Heng smiled.
Seeing that Li Wenqing and Mrs. Li were about to leave, Ji Yanran immediately stepped forward a few steps and stretched out Subai's hand: "Uncle Second, second aunt has seen my dowry, it's time to hand over all the family business of our eldest son!"
Otherwise, the coffin she brought was carried by someone would not have left.
"Give it to her." Li Wenqing almost gritted his teeth. He didn't want to bother with Ji anymore. He wanted to go to the Jiang family immediately and ask Miss Jiang to come forward to deal with Ji's family.
When a brocade box was handed to Ji Yanran, she felt refreshed and had no money. Life was not easy. Although she was just a passing God of Wealth, she still felt very happy.
She wanted to find an opportunity to thank Li Wenshu and his wife, and thanks to their help, it was so smooth.
When he returned to the house, Rong's mother brought the shopkeeper of the coffin shop over.
Ji Yanran immediately put down the box in her hand and looked over carefully. Uncle Qiu lowered his head and did not speak, and his body became a little more gloomy.
These are the only few remaining family members of the Ji family.
Ji Yanran said, "Uncle Qiu, thank you for your hard work today." The owner of this body ignored the coffin shop for three years. She also asked Mother Rong to pass the message with the intention of trying it out. Uncle Qiu didn't ask too much and pulled out all the coffins in the shop.
Uncle Qiu lowered his head and said, "This is what I should do, as long as the eldest lady can use it." His voice sounded very dull and without any turbulence, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on Ji Yanran again.
When he heard that the young lady died, he was full of regret. If he had not kept the agreement with the master and went to find the young lady earlier, perhaps the young lady would not have been killed silently like this.
Now the lady is alive.
He also had the opportunity to repay Ji's kindness.
Although Ji Yanran knew that the coffin shop was not only bad, but also a good business, she still had many questions. Why did her current father, the exiled Lord Ji, hand over this deal to her? She ignored the coffin shop for three years, and this uncle Qiu did not come to her.
"Uncle Qiu," said Ji Yanran, "My father didn't explain much about the coffin shop. You know everything, so you might as well tell me everything."
Uncle Qiu's body trembled slightly. He thought the eldest lady would never ask. After a while, he took a long breath and said, "Miss, do you know that the strength of our master is not to be an official, but to do business. The master first came to Beijing to be a coffin shop."
"The shop opens in the market and interacts with peddlers all year round, so that we can make it well-informed. Even when the 'bad people' handle cases, we have to come to our shop to find clues."
Ji Yanran soon found memories of bad people. Bad people were officials who arrested serious criminals and were driven by the royal relatives and a few high-ranking officials. Every case they handled was not simple.
Why did the Ji family interact with bad people?
Uncle Qiu continued: "After the decline of the Ji family, almost all the family assets were seized by the court. The master wanted to hand over the remaining shop to the eldest lady, but he was afraid that the eldest lady would be in danger because of it..."
Ji Yanran nodded. The former body owner was indeed not a person who could entrust heavy responsibilities.
"So, the master told us that if the eldest lady had not taken the initiative to take over the coffin shop, we would not tell them to the eldest lady."
Ji Yanran felt warm in her heart. She felt the love of her parents for the first time. Her father was so cautious and probably had any mistakes. She really regarded her as her heart.
If you think about it carefully, my father's behavior also shows one thing: someone is framed by the Ji family.
Ji Yanran said: "My father was wronged."
Uncle Qiu looked a little excited and clenched his fists: "We all believe that lords are not greedy..."
A happy family suddenly appeared in Ji Yanran's mind. She stood on her father's shoulders and looked beautiful enough to lantern. After one, two strokes, her feet finally fell down and fell into her father's arms.
Before he knew it, a line of tears flowed out from the corners of Ji Yanran's eyes.
She became Ji Yanran, carrying all her sorrows and joys, and also allowed her to have real relatives for the first time. She must not just lose them.
A thunder sounded from the sky, and heavy rain quietly came, and the damp and fresh smell came to my face. Ji Yanran took a heavy breath, her eyes unspeakable: "I will bring my father and mother back, and our family will definitely be reunited."
How to run a coffin shop and rely on your own strength to overturn the case for your father must be carefully arranged.
Ji Yanran instructed Rong's mother to see Uncle Qiu away first and walk back to the inner room.
Master Shi Kong had already dealt with Li Yong's wound, and the little monk Hu Yu boiled medicine beside him.
Seeing Ji Yanran, Master Shi Kong handed over the prescription in his hand: "In the next few days, just follow the prescription."
Ji Yanran took the prescription and looked out the door: "Does the mage know the purpose of Prince Cheng's coming?" She always felt that the bun was not kind to Master Shi Kong.
