Chapter 44: CH 13.1

Of the two men in black who escaped, only one was caught.

After he was caught, the man in black saw that he couldn’t escape and simply bit the poison and killed himself.

Ji Mingshuang and Wan Xiang then remembered Ji Yunxi who is still in the back courtyard of the Wu family, and hurried back.

When they just got back, they happened to meet the people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple who came over.

Ji Mingshuang’s beautiful eyebrows and eyes folded slightly.

The Wu family’s house is so remote, and it’s already so late now.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for the official team to arrive so quickly.

And the one who took the lead was still Dali Temple.

Officials in this position rarely come to the scene in person, unless it is a very important case.

When Dali Temple’s officer happened to see Ji Mingshuang, a bit of astonishment appeared on his always shrewd face.

It shouldn’t be like this, right?

But he is an old fox who had only been in officialdom for many years. He immediately adjusted his expression and stepped forward to make a bow: “Why is Seventh Master Ji here?”

Ji Mingshuang replied: “I am accompanying my third younger sister.”

He walked quickly to where Ji Yunxi was.

Ji Yunxi is staying with Wu Weian.

Wu Wei’an hid behind her in fear and said in a small voice: “Third Miss, these people, are they, are they here to kill me?”

Ji Yunxi was standing there gracefully in a gold-painted silk pleated skirt.

She has always been in good shape, just like a plum blossom standing proudly in the courtyard. The moonlight shines down on her, making her bright face look colder.

She followed her fiance’s words: “It seems so.”

Wu Wei’an moved closer to her subconsciously: “How could this happen? I’ve never offended anyone. I am, I am a little scared…”

Ji Yunxi: “Don’t be afraid. The people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are here. They will protect you.”

Ji Mingshuang, who is thinking about all of the happenings tonight: “…”

With a dark face, he squeezed directly over and pushed Wu Wei’an away from his younger sister and said: “Are you all right?”

Ji Yunxi shook her head: “I am all right. Have you caught them?”

Ji Mingshuang: “No. One died and one escaped.”

At this point, the officer from Dali Temple found that not only the Seventh Master of the Ji family is here, but the Third Miss of the Ji family is also here.

The Dali Temple’s officer is instructing his subordinates to investigate the place according to the law while he went over to greet them.

This is the beauty of aristocratic family’s dignitaries. Even if they have no official position, ordinary officials have to flatter them when they see them.

The Dali Temple’s officer bowed: “Why is Third Miss here so late at night?”

Ji Yunxi replied with a salute: “I always feel uneasy tonight, so I came to see my fiance. Fortunately, I came.”

Wu Wei’an, who stood on the side, hurriedly looked up and replied: “Fortunately, Third Miss arrived in time, otherwise…”

Ji Mingshuang glared at him fiercely so he didn’t dare to say the rest of the words and only lowered his head and shut up.

His fiancee is very nice, but her brothers don’t seem to be very easy to get along with.

The Dali Temple’s officer gave a light laugh but there was some unease hidden in the laugh: “What a coincidence. There was an accident in a place near here tonight so I brought a group of people over. As a result, when we passed by here, I found something was wrong, so I came in to have a look. “

“Then we will have to trouble officer then.” Ji Mingshuang held his sword in both hands, “This matter is about my Ji family, so it is necessary to find out all the truth behind this.”

The Dali Temple’s officer has already felt that something is wrong.

His goal tonight was to go to the Ji family to catch Ji Mingshuang. But the person is here instead.

“That’s natural.” The Dali Temple’s officer then shouted, “Take these corpses back and check them carefully!”

The subordinates replied: “Yes!”

Ji Yunxi raised her eyes and just wanted to stop it.

Ji Mingshuang was one step ahead of her: “Just check it here.”

The Dali Temple’s officer: “But…”

“Why?” Ji Mingshuang raised his eyebrows. “It can’t be checked?”

The Dali Temple’s officer is sweating all over: “The weather is so cold. I am afraid it will freeze other brothers…”

“My third sister is also here.” Ji Mingshuang refused to give in at all, “Your subordinates can’t even compare with a weak woman?”
