"Of course not," Qin Zhao said. "The Jiangling prefect is honest and upright, and he wouldn't easily accuse a commoner. He's now discovered that the murder was committed by Boss Chang, proving that, at least in his opinion, there shouldn't be any major doubts in this case."
Jing Li didn't understand for a moment: "Are you saying that Boss Chang is not innocent?"
"No, I mean, if it's a miscarriage of justice, it's a very clean one."
This is also the reason why Qin Zhao sought help from the government.
This kind of premeditated miscarriage of justice cannot be overturned by the efforts of one or two people.
"Anyway, put your heart back in your stomach first."
Qin Zhao said, "If your husband can't even handle such a small matter, he's truly useless."
"I'm not worried about these things, I just..." Jing Li paused and said, "I just don't want these things to involve you. You and Boss Chang don't know each other..."
Moreover, even Gu Heng didn't dare to interfere in this matter, for fear of being implicated.
How can this be a small matter?
"But he is my husband's mentor, isn't he?"
Qin Zhao suddenly thought of something and paused. "Speaking of which, we should go to the South City Bookstore first. I wonder if that copy of 'Dream Talk Notes' is still available. I haven't even read it yet."
"Ahhh, that's not necessary!"
.
Jing Li originally thought that the matter should be resolved quickly, but unexpectedly, since they went to the government office to report the case, no news came back for several days.
Even Qin Zhao didn't mention this matter any more.
Gu Heng passed the county examination as he wished. On the third day after the results were announced, the Gu family held a grand banquet in the mansion, and all the important figures in the city attended.
Qin Zhao and Jing Li were naturally also invited.
At dusk that day, the Gu family sent a carriage to pick up Qin Zhao and Jing Li and take them to the Gu Mansion. As the two got off the carriage, a carriage happened to come from the other direction.
A servant from the Gu Mansion came forward to greet them: "Master Ji, Young Master Ji, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
Jing Li paused.
Qin Zhao noticed his abnormality and turned to look at the carriage. The carriage stopped not far from the two of them. The first person to get off was a middle-aged man, followed by a tall young man.
Ji Zhifei jumped off the carriage and looked up to see Jing Li and Qin Zhao standing at the gate of Gu Mansion.
His expression froze at first, but then he seemed to have thought of something. He smiled nonchalantly at Jing Li, turned around and followed Master Ji into the mansion.
"He is Ji Zhifei?"
Jing Li had told Qin Zhao everything that had happened in the past few days. Qin Zhao had never met Ji Zhifei in person, but when he saw Jing Li's reaction, he guessed most of it.
Qin Zhao has always been gentle and reserved, but his words clearly revealed disgust and coldness.
Jing Li had never seen Qin Zhao treat others like this.
He took Qin Zhao's hand and whispered, "It's him, but today is a banquet hosted by Master Gu, so don't..."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything."
Qin Zhao raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, his voice still calm: "At least not tonight."
