Chapter 680 Is Yu Chuannan crazy?
Ji Yunshu felt as if a ball of wet cotton was stuffed in his chest, sinking heavily downwards.
But there was no time left. There was a knock on the door and someone called out, "Young Master."
Zhao Shen hugged Ji Yunshu and jumped out of the back window.
Then, before the guards discovered him, he used his lightness skills to escape from the villa safely.
As soon as they left the courtyard, it was already brightly lit.
Qi Zheng waited at the agreed place. Seeing them, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally you came out. If you didn't come out soon, I would have gone in to look for you."
As soon as Zhao Shen regained his balance, he said, "Return to the city immediately and find the prefect of Hangzhou. Have him secretly bring people to surround this villa."
Qi Zheng looked at the commotion in the courtyard and asked, "What on earth did you do? Will the prefect of Hangzhou listen to me?"
Ji Yunshu handed him a jade pendant and said, "Tell the prefect that his daughter, who has been missing for two years, is here."
This was given to her by the girl when she was bandaging her wound.
The jade felt smooth to the touch, without a trace of impurities. At that time, Ji Yunshu guessed that her identity was extraordinary.
But the four words "Hangzhou prefect" still weighed heavily on her heart.
Qi Zheng took the jade pendant with a look of shock on his face: "Is Yu Chuannan crazy?"
Although Yu Chuannan is the eldest son of the Yu family and the future head of the Yu family, he is a commoner.
How dare he touch the daughter of the Hangzhou prefect?
Zhao Shen said, "I don't know if he was crazy or not, but he's dead now. Go get things done quickly. The Yu family has deep roots in Hangzhou. Before we get all the evidence of the Yu family's crimes, what happened tonight can't be leaked."
Qi Zheng said, "Those corpses were indeed fed to the dogs by Yu Chuannan. This villa has over a hundred dogs. When I went there, there were still two corpses that hadn't been completely eaten. Their bones should still be there. Even if no other evidence is found, this alone will make it impossible for the Yu family to recover."
Zhao Shen nodded. "But Yu Chuannan is already dead. The Yu family can easily blame everything on him. This will only ruin the Yu family's reputation, but it won't be enough to convict everyone in the Yu family. Once they transfer their property and power to Prince Yong, we'll be in trouble."
Qi Zheng also knew that there was no time to lose, so he took the jade pendant and turned to leave: "Don't worry, I will send a team, and the news here will definitely not be spread back to the city."
As soon as he left, the place became quiet instantly, and a noise broke out from the courtyard not far away.
The night breeze blew by, and Ji Yunshu's tense nerves finally relaxed. She looked towards the courtyard and asked, "Are we going to stay here forever?"
Zhao Shen nodded. "This is the only way for the other courtyard to return to the city. We will guard here to prevent the other courtyard from returning to the city to report the news. We just need to wait for the Hangzhou prefect to bring people."
Ji Yunshu nodded numbly and asked hesitantly, "They won't damage the girl's body, right?"
Zhao Shen knew that she was blaming herself for not being able to save the girl, let alone bring out her body.
In the situation just now, they really couldn't do it.
If the guards of the other courtyard were alarmed, they might not be able to get out themselves.
"No, Yu Chuannan died in the other courtyard. Everyone in the other courtyard cannot escape punishment. In their eyes, that girl is the murderer of Yu Chuannan, and they must report her to the Yu family."
Ji Yunshu nodded gently.
Thinking of the look in the girl's eyes when she looked at her, horror, despair, fear, relief...
Her heart felt like it was grabbed by something and it ached slightly.
Yu Chuannan is dead, but those girls will never come back to life.
Zhao Shen didn't say anything else, just stayed with her quietly.
After the two of them dealt with three groups of people who came back to the city to deliver letters, the Hangzhou prefect finally arrived with his men.
In order to make things easier, Zhao Shen directly presented the gold medal given by the emperor.
Cai Xingsi, the prefect of Hangzhou, has been in Hangzhou for some years. He has his own way of being an official. As long as he has good relations with the aristocratic families, it will not be difficult for him to become an official.
Over the years, he has become accustomed to turning a blind eye to the affairs of the aristocratic families, so he lives in peace and security.
As soon as Yang Zhen's incident came out, he felt it was a difficult situation.
The Yu family always felt that the emperor was far away and they could handle anything.
But he knew that the imperial court, or the emperor who looked somewhat weak, was not actually that weak.
Just looking at the changes in the court situation in the past two years, you will know that Daxia won the wars against southern Xinjiang and Mobei.
Prince Yong's rebellion failed, and the emperor used Prince Yong's incident to clean up the court.
As soon as the incident with Yang Zhen happened, a marquis was sent to deal with it.
The Jingning Marquis's Mansion has indeed declined over the years, but this marquis is a ruthless man who could send his own uncle's family into exile.
However, the Yu family didn't take the other party seriously from the beginning.
However, even though he was mentally prepared, Cai Xingsi did not expect that Qi Zheng had not made any movement for so long, and he must have been holding it in for a long time.
Together with Zhao Shen, he led people to surround the villa. The people inside probably knew that Yu Chuannan was dead, and no one would stand up for them. Except for a few masters who fought to the death, everyone else behaved very submissively.
As for those masters, Zhao Shen personally led his men to capture them.
Before entering the main courtyard, Ji Yunshu asked the person guarding the gate, "Where is the body of that girl?"
The man was startled when he heard her words and suddenly looked up at Ji Yunshu.
The eldest son's death was really strange. He knew best what the woman's condition was. She had been given medicine before entering the house and had lost too much blood, so she had no strength to kill anyone.
But apart from her, they didn't find anyone else who had been there.
Ji Yunshu exposed himself with these words.
The man looked at Ji Yunshu, and Ji Yunshu also looked at him.
After weighing it for a moment, he lowered his head and said, "It's still inside."
Ji Yunshu didn't care what he knew, after all, there was no evidence.
And as long as they see the piles of bones inside, everyone will think that Yu Chuannan deserves to die.
Ji Yunshu followed Cai Xingsi and continued walking inside. When she reached the door, she stopped and said, "You, be mentally prepared. She..."
She didn't know what to say next.
Cai Xingsi looked at her, hesitant to speak, and finally realized what she had just said to the steward. He asked in a hoarse voice, "What did you just say? Corpse? Whose corpse?"
Qi Zheng only told him that his missing daughter was here, but did not mention anything about the corpse.
His daughter died?
Cai Xingsi felt his head buzzing and he could hardly stand steadily.
Ji Yunshu helped him up and said, "She's in there, do you want to see her?"
They had investigated the Hangzhou prefect before they came. He was not a good official with outstanding political achievements, but in Hangzhou, he did a pretty good job.
He seems mediocre and incompetent, and gives in to the aristocratic families, but he is actually very good to the people.
Moreover, he had only one legitimate wife, two sons and one daughter, whom he loved very much.
Ji Yunshu knew how cruel it would be for a father to witness the situation inside.
But he would also feel regretful if he couldn't even see his daughter's final appearance.
Ji Yunshu was still in a dilemma when Cai Xingsi had already opened the door with trembling hands.
With just one glance, the little bit of hope in his heart disappeared without a trace.
