The Wei family tragedy soon spread to everyone in Jinjiang.
Of course, the news that Ji Yunshu was imprisoned also spread.
Ji Shuhan and Mrs. Ji almost fainted when they found out.
There is a murderer in the Ji family, which is a great shame!
Of course, this matter was also known to Jing Rong.
The sky just lit up, and he hurried to the prison.
The two guards at the door didn't know him and naturally stopped him.
A moment later, Lang Bo showed his token and reprimanded: "King Rong is here, who dares to be presumptuous?"
When the two jailers saw the token, they were frightened and hurriedly knelt to the ground.
"See... see King Rong, the little one didn't know it was King Rong, and the crime deserved death."
Jing Rong's sharp eyes made people shudder: "Take this king to see Ji Yunshu."
"Yes… "
The jailer hurriedly got up from the ground, bent down, lowered his head, and quickly led the way.
Entering the dark and damp cell, Jing Rong's hands on both sides clenched into fists, and her heart became annoyed as the stench worsened!
When he arrived outside Ji Yunshu's cell, he saw that it was fairly clean inside, and he gradually calmed down as he was about to turn into a rage.
He reprimanded: "Open the door."
The jailer obediently opened the door and stood aside!
Jing Rong stepped in quickly, and saw the small body, squatting on the ground, hugging her knees, buried her head, and her body seemed to be trembling faintly.
As for the stove next to it, the black carbon burned out, leaving only a few wisps of white smoke!
"Yun Shu..."
He called her softly.
Ji Yunshu shrank his feet inward, and after a while, he raised his head.
What caught my eye was a pair of jade boots rimmed with gold carvings and silver threads, and a robe tail made of satin. Moving up slowly, they met Jing Rong's deep and distressed gaze!
But after not seeing each other for a day, Ji Yunshu's delicate face gradually faded away from the powder makeup at this moment, like a clean sheet of white paper.
Jing Rong squatted down and touched Ji Yunshu's icy forehead with her long, slender fingers, pulling her loose hair to her ear.
She went down smoothly, holding her cold plain hand tightly.
Ji Yunshu didn't avoid him either. Those deep concave ink pupils looked at him with a tired tone and asked, "Where's Wei Yi? How is he?"
Jing Rong shook his head lightly: "He will be fine, this king assures you."
"He didn't deserve all this."
Ji Yunshu's thin and distressed voice echoed in this small cell, cool!
Jing Rong said again: "Don't worry, this king will not let you have an accident. Even if all the evidence points to you, no one believes in you, but I believe in you."
He said that he was very serious, and the hands that were holding Ji Yunshu strained.
Ji Yunshu's expression was cold, if he listened, his brows furrowed deeply.
At this moment, two yamen came over, and when they saw Jingrong in the cell, they were stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward.
"My lord, the younger ones have been ordered by Lord Liu to take Miss Ji to the court."
Say it carefully, for fear that one word will offend this Buddha!
Jing Rong glanced sharply, causing the two yamen to take two steps back.
He turned his eyes again and said to Ji Yunshu, "This king will go with you."
Ji Yunshu did not agree.
So, Jing Rong accompanied her to the Yamen Court.
In the court, the county magistrate sat on a chair in the high hall, and there were several people kneeling under it.
Kneeling in front is Wei Fu, the housekeeper of the Wei residence.
Behind, kneeling the two servants of the Wei residence and the doctor from yesterday.
When Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu came in together, the county magistrate was about to go down to salute, but Jing Rong raised his hand to stop him.
"Let's try the case." He said coldly.
The county magistrate pouted, "Yes, yes," bent down and stretched out his hand toward the chair next to him: "Your Highness, please sit down!"
Jing Rong looked at Ji Yunshu worriedly before sitting beside him.
Under the detention of the yamen, Ji Yunshu knelt down beside Wei Fu.
At this time, the county magistrate took a picture of the gavel.
In an official tone: "In the case of the Weifu murder, someone under the court sued Ji Yunshu, is there any clear evidence?"
Fu Fu, who was below, immediately blushed, glanced at Ji Yunshu beside him, and then leaned over to the county magistrate.
"Sir, my master and wife were poisoned to death by her."
Point at Ji Yunshu!
Ji Yunshu knelt upright and did not refute.
The county magistrate swallowed and asked, "Then, do you have evidence."
"Yesterday, my master held a banquet at the mansion. After the banquet was over, Miss Ji did not return to the mansion. Instead, she took my master and wife to the side hall and poured two cups of tea. The tea was poisonous."
"Where does the poison come from?"
The doctor kneeling at the back spoke: "Master, the little one found poison in two cups of tea, but there was no tea in the teapot, so I judged that the person who poured the tea should have taken advantage of the poison. "
The county magistrate frowned: "But... this is not evidence!"
The housekeeper Wei Fu immediately took over the words: "The little one was still in the yard where Miss Ji lived before, and found the feathers of the poisonous bird."
After speaking, the two girls behind them presented a few bird feathers wrapped in white cloth.
Everyone knows that the feathers of poisonous birds are highly poisonous, and when soaked in water, even livestock dare not touch the water again.
Wei Fu said plausibly: "My lord, it must be Miss Ji who used the feathers of a poisonous bird to soak in the water, and added it to the tea when she was pouring the tea, and then poisoned my master and wife to death. Your lord, Mingjian, must be for the sake of the tea. My master and wife are in charge!"
He raised his head with his hands, and his entire body fell to the ground.
The county magistrate patted his forehead, worried!
Squinting at Ji Yunshu, he saw her indifferent expression.
He asked tentatively, "Ji Yunshu, you... don't you justify one or two?"
But there must be an excuse!
This officer is reluctant to convict you!
I don't even want to kill you!
Although Ji Yunshu was kneeling with a straight body, his eyes were lowered, as if he was thinking about something!
Jing Rong on the side was worried about her. Although he was a prince, he couldn't ignore the law!
In an instant, he stood up, with that majestic posture, his steps were like stepping on an ice blade, he walked over coldly, walked over to Ji Yunshu, looked down at her, and then turned his eyes to the county magistrate.
The words were serious: "Master Liu, this king has also heard of this matter. Just based on the poison in the tea, it is too far-fetched to conclude that Miss Ji killed someone."
"Yes, yes, too far-fetched, too far-fetched..."
The county magistrate agreed.
Wei Fu saw that the prince opened his mouth, and felt a little timid in his heart, but thinking about the tragic death of his master and wife, he cried.
"My lord, my lord, the feathers of this poisonous bird are conclusive evidence! It was indeed found in the house where Miss Ji used to live, and at that time, the master and his wife were the only ones beside her, and she also poured the tea, no There will be something wrong, my master and wife died so wrongly, I beg the lord and the lord to investigate clearly!"
Jing Rong thought deeply, and said, "The feathers of a pooch bird are not enough to prove that the poison was given by Miss Ji. If it was framed and framed, why would it be strange to put a few feathers in her house? Besides, no one has seen her poisoning. Isn't it too hasty to identify her as the murderer in this way!"
Green sleeves flicked, with a strong wind!
The county magistrate agrees!
He said to Fu Fu, "Fu Wei, what the lord said is quite right."
Fu Wei raised his head to look at Jingrong, and said with a sad face: "My lord, what Xiao said is true. Miss Ji killed someone, we will not wrong her."
"Well, this king asks you, why did she kill her?"
Uh!
Murder for a reason!
The reason
Fu Wei lowered his eyes and held back his tears. He didn't know how to answer, and he hesitated: "This... The master and his wife treated Miss Ji very well before they died. As for why Miss Ji wanted to kill, I... don't know."
Seize this point, Jing Rong strikes while the iron is hot.
"Since I didn't see her poisoning with my own eyes, the feathers of the poisonous bird were also found after Miss Ji was imprisoned. It is not known whether it was a big fuss or not, plus there is no motive, isn't it absurd to convict now? "
Wei Fu choked, I don't know what happened!
So the county magistrate hurriedly said: "This case is full of doubts and needs to be investigated in detail. This officer will never wrong anyone, nor will he let the murderer go. Wei Fu, this officer has written down what you said, and I will know it. Find out the truth as soon as possible, and give Master Wei and Madam Wei justice."
Fu Wei had nothing to say and could only kowtow: "Thank you sir."
The county magistrate added: "The suspect Ji Yunshu should be put in jail for now until the case is revealed."
The yamen stepped forward and carefully supported Ji Yunshu.
And she never said a word from beginning to end.
When the yamen was about to take her down, Jing Rong grabbed her and whispered in her ear with a worried expression on her face.
"I know you are very sad, and I know that this matter has hit you hard, and your life is at stake. This king will try his best to find evidence for you to prove your innocence, but listen carefully, you must cheer up, because only you, Know best what happened."
Ji Yunshu's brows moved, as if he had listened to his words!
In fact, since last night, she has been thinking about the whole case.
But she couldn't understand, how did the poison get into that cup of tea
What kind of bird feathers are there now? It's ridiculous.
Could it be that someone really framed him
But... how did that person know that she was going to pour tea at that time
Yes, this is suspicious!
She thought about it all night, and the things in her heart gradually began to show signs at this moment!
Raising her eyes, she whispered to Jing Rong's ear, "My lord, I need an autopsy."
Autopsy
The people in Wei Mansion regarded her as a murderer, so how could they test Master Wei and Madam Wei on her
Jing Rong frowned and made up his mind.
Nodding: "Okay, this king has his own way."
Ji Yunshu thanked him in his eyes, and said nothing, he was taken down by the yamen.
A moment later, Jing Rong went to the Wei House.
Overnight, white satin was hung from the gate of Weifu to the inner courtyard, and the red silk lanterns were changed to white.
After Jing Rong took Lang Bo in, they went to the mourning hall in the backyard. Two sets of coffins were placed side by side inside. The lids of the coffins were not closed. In front of them, there were tablets and candles.
Wei Yi, wearing a white filial robe, knelt in front, staring at the two ranking positions, motionless.
Because of crying for a long time, those eyes were still red and swollen, and there were still tears.
Heartbroken!
