As Ji Yingying was leaving the Imperial Study, she was about to go home when she was taken away by Lord Gongsun.
Still in a rush.
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush..." Lord Gongsun had already found out that Ji Yingying had returned to the palace and was still in the Imperial Study.
He waited directly at the palace gate, and as soon as the person came out, he took him away without saying a word.
Even the father of the person in question was not informed, which led Ji Cailiang to follow along as well.
"It's urgent, very urgent. This case should have been solved yesterday, but who knew that another murder would occur today."
"What the hell?"
[A serial murder case? This killer is either taking revenge on society or targeting a specific person, and is practicing killing as a way to get revenge.]
When Lord Gongsun heard this, he couldn't help but stop, because what he said seemed to make a lot of sense.
Upon arriving at the Dali Temple, Ji Yingying retrieved the case files and read through them, but she still didn't understand them.
"Can I see the body?"
"My child, how could you see her like that?" Ji Cailiang stayed by her side, afraid that Ji Yingying would be hurt.
"Why can't we meet? It's not a big deal, we're all just people."
Besides, I've seen... a lot of fakes, hehe!
In the end, they took Ji Yingying to see the body; it was a woman who had drowned.
[Does she have any gossip? She died a horrible death; her face was deathly pale!]
[Yes, it's already been uploaded; you can view it, host.]
Good heavens, she was killed by her brother-in-law! This brother-in-law has killed seven or eight women already, and only two bodies have been found so far.
Her brother-in-law was a butcher who loved to drink. When he was drunk, he would beat people. He once beat her sister to death. She was young when her sister died and didn't know that he had killed her. Later, when she found out, she wanted revenge, but she was ultimately killed as well.
[How could a young girl possibly handle a butcher? In the end, she was deceived, swindled out of her money, and then drowned in the river by her brother-in-law. The main problem was that she misjudged people; the person she befriended was also her brother-in-law's friend. Upon hearing about the plan to kill the butcher, he naturally told the butcher, and the two of them conspired to play a trick on her, throwing her into the water to drown.]
The butcher is no good person. He even killed his friend, whose body is still in his pigsty. And every woman he kills is fed to his pigs; no wonder his pigs don't taste good.
[Xiangxiang, check the scope. Have I ever eaten their pork? Damn, that's disgusting.]
[Okay, host. You haven't eaten their pork. All the pork in your household comes from Xinhe County.]
Okay, I like the way my parents do things.
[Host, Xiangxiang may be leveling up. You can still watch the drama unfold during the leveling process, but you must not contact Xiangxiang.]
[How long did it take you? Ten years! You've finally leveled up and are no longer a nobody. It wasn't easy!]
[It will take approximately two days. Please wait for Xiangxiang.]
Okay, I'll wait for you. Come back soon.
Xiangxiang went offline to level up. As for the corpse, Ji Yingying was about to tell Lord Gongsun when Lord Gongsun said, "Thank you, Lord Ji. I know the murderer." After saying that, he hurriedly left.
"What?"
Ji Yingying looked at Ji Cailiang, puzzled.
"Let's go home."
The murderer has been found. Hurry home, lest something happen to your youngest daughter. This is no good place.
When they got home, Fang Yulan was already waiting at the door. Having not seen her daughter for two days, Fang Yulan, unusually good-natured, took Ji Yingying out for a delicious meal.
"Mother, let me tell you, the Emperor gave me several chests of jewels. Where are those jewels?"
Apple immediately arranged for someone to bring up the jewelry. When Ji Yingying saw it, she immediately asked Fang Yulan to choose some. She also picked out a lot to send to Ji Jiaming and Ji Jiayu, saying that they were for her future sister-in-law.
At night, Ji Yingying climbed onto the wall and sat there. It was rare for her not to read a storybook tonight, and Granny Xia even watched over her from below.
I was afraid she would fall.
[Xiangxiang has leveled up! I'm so curious to see what she'll be like when she levels up again. But that doesn't stop me from enjoying the gossip. I have a day off tomorrow, so I'm sneaking off to Liuxiang Residence. Hopefully no one will know!]
Ji Yingying, who had this idea, never treated it as just an idea; she acted on it immediately.
He went back to his room, changed into men's clothing, and sneaked out while Xia Mama wasn't looking. He went straight to Liuxiang Residence.
The moment the manager of Liuxiangju saw Ji Yingying appear, his brows furrowed so tightly they could almost kill a mosquito.
Why is this little darling here? This is Lord Ji! I've heard that even the Emperor and the Crown Prince protect him.
"Shopkeeper, it's been a long time. How are you?" Ji Yingying greeted him and then went inside. The shopkeeper tried to persuade her to stay and didn't want her to go in.
But we couldn't stop them.
"Don't worry, no one will know I'm here tonight. Come on, let's go to a private room. What's going on tonight?"
Ji Yingying produced a pair of glasses from her spatial storage and took out a fan. The ten-year-old looked dashing and debonair. If there were a song at this moment: "I roam freely, commanding the winds and clouds, admired by all; I command the winds and clouds, I need not look back..."
That would be absolutely cool!
We booked a private room and looked down from upstairs. The stage was already set up, and we figured a performance was about to start.
Ji Yingying was getting impatient. She wondered which performance was better, the ancient one or the modern one.
After waiting for a while, it finally started. The first program was a sentimental piece about romance and nature, but even its sentimentality couldn't compare to the era of non-mainstream culture.
The second program was even less satisfactory. After all, idols and ensemble casts shouldn't be presented like this; it felt like a hodgepodge.
"Go and call the shopkeeper here."
Not long after, the shopkeeper arrived. How could he not come? This was an important person.
"Sir, did you call me?"
“I have some lyrics here for them to sing. Also, adjust the dance. What woman likes to see such a weak man? If she wants to see a weak man, she might as well look at herself. Is she not weak or gentle enough? You need to arrange some strong, reassuring, and wild men. That will make it more appealing.”
The shopkeeper was confused, but he agreed nonetheless. He couldn't refuse, lest the whole shop be shut down because of this official.
Not long after, a new performance came on, and this time it was amazing. There were muscular men, wild men, a tug-of-war between strength and wildness, and dynamic music.
The entire Liuxiangju reached its climax, and Ji Yingying even took out a bubble machine and jumped around with that group of wild men.
She was acting like a madwoman, making Rong Yi not dare to be distracted for even a second, for fear that Ji Yingying would disappear at any moment.
Fortunately, Ji Yingying had limited energy and soon got tired, so she took the bubble machine upstairs to rest.
However, the shopkeeper was also happy, as he had made a fortune tonight.
In the dead of night, Ji Yingying, tired from playing, quietly prepared to go home.
[I never expected that nightclubs in ancient times could be so lively. Let's do it again next time, hehe~] Ji Yingying's wicked laughter still lingered in the carriage, startling Rong Yi in the middle of the night.
