Chapter 69 Search for Fugitives
She calmly pulled Zhao Fu and turned away.
He just gave a wink to Yin Ye who was following him before leaving.
Yin Ye was a martial artist and was very sensitive to the smell of blood, so he naturally smelled it.
After Ji Yunshu left, he quietly moved forward.
Ji Yunshu and Zhao Fu only relaxed when they reached a crowded place.
When the two returned to their residence, they happened to meet Wei Yuanmin who came to pay his respects to Mrs. Yao.
Wei Yuanmin came up to her with a smile on her face and asked, "Where have you been, Sister Ji?"
Ji Yunshu glanced at Yao Ruolan who was following behind her and smiled, "I was free, so I went out for a walk with my elder sister."
Wei Yuanmin said, "Are you done shopping so soon? I'm bored being alone, and I wanted to ask my sister to play with me for a while."
"There's time, I guess. I'm sure the princess won't leave today."
This Dharma Assembly will last for seven days, and Yao plans to stay here for three days.
Since Wei Yuanmin is here, he will definitely not leave today.
"Sister Ji is right. I'll come back to bother you. Please don't think I'm annoying."
"Why, I'm also very bored."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries and then Wei Yuanmin left.
After she left, Zhao Fu whispered in her ear, "Did I see correctly just now? The person following her is Yao Ruolan?"
Ji Yunshu then remembered that for the people in the Marquis' Mansion, there was no further news after Yao Ruolan left.
Zhao Fu naturally had no idea what was happening outside.
Seeing that Ji Yunshu didn't say anything, Zhao Fu was at a loss for words: "This... the princess wants her to be a dowry maid?"
"Isn't this great? The princess is different from me. She is a generous and kind person."
Zhao Fu: “…”
Living in the same mansion, even if Yao had issued a gag order, it was impossible for Zhao Fu not to know what happened on Ji Yunshu's wedding night.
Compared to what Ji Yunshu did, isn't Wei Yuanmin magnanimous and generous?
In fact, Zhao Fu herself did not approve of Ji Yunshu's approach. Compared with her eldest brother, her second brother might not be so outstanding, but at least he was a healthy person.
How can I live if I marry a disabled person?
But Zhao Fu remembered that her mother said her sister-in-law was a smart person and asked her to spend more time with her.
Zhao Fu couldn't understand all this for a moment, but her mother would never harm her.
However, after spending a few times with her, she found that her sister-in-law was straightforward and easy to get along with.
The two talked for a few words and then went back to their rooms.
When Ji Yunshu returned to the house, he smelled a bloody smell. He looked around the room and saw the man in black lying unconscious in a chair.
After staying outside for a while, Yin Ye not only came back before her, but also brought back someone.
Ji Yunshu glanced at Yin Ye and saw that she was not injured, then asked, "What happened?"
Yin Ye replied, "This man is the one who had a secret meeting with the young lady from the Prince's Mansion in our house on the day of the Second Young Master's engagement banquet."
Xiao Yue’s sweetheart?
Ji Yunshu stared at the person in the chair, who looked nothing like the one she had seen that day. After a moment, she realized that the other person might have used a disguise. She couldn't help but ask, "How did you bring him back?"
Speaking of this, Yin Ye was also a little annoyed: "I didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, but he said he had something to ask the lady."
Ji Yunshu looked at Yin Ye helplessly. It was obvious that this silly girl had been cheated.
When his life is at stake, he will grab whoever he meets.
She turned around and asked Bai Ling: "How is the person?"
Bai Ling replied, "He's seriously injured and drugged. I've already treated his wounds, and he should be awake soon."
Ji Yunshu frowned.
Yin Ye realized that he had caused trouble for his master and whispered, "How about I throw him out now?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "Let's wait until he wakes up."
But before anyone woke up, there was a commotion outside.
Bai Ling went out to take a look, then turned back with a grim expression and said, "It's someone from the Gyeonggi Patrol Battalion. They said they were looking for some fugitive."
After saying that, her eyes also fell on the man in black in the chair.
It goes without saying who this fugitive is.
Ji Yunshu also looked at the man and said, "Sir, how long do you plan to pretend to be unconscious?"
The person on the chair slowly opened his eyes upon hearing this: "Madam, you don't intend to hand me over?"
Ji Yunshu rubbed his brows. This guy was obviously not a good person. Who knew what he had done?
Since I brought it back, even if I hand it over now, I may not be able to get rid of the responsibility.
The patrol camp seems to be under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture.
The last time she was assassinated, there is still no result.
It’s just because the King of Hell’s Palace was suddenly destroyed that no one continued to pursue the matter.
She smiled and said, "Sir, there's no need to test me. It won't do me any good to hand you over now."
Lan Ting raised an eyebrow and said, "The first time I met Madam, I knew that Madam was different from the rumors."
"Oh, what are the rumors about me?"
While the two were talking, someone knocked on the door. Ji Yunshu glanced at Lan Ting and asked, "Who is it?"
Lanting wisely jumped onto the beam by himself.
Yin Ye opened the door and asked, "What are you arguing about?"
A maidservant beside Yao came forward to explain, "It's the patrol camp that's chasing the fugitive."
As soon as she finished speaking, a man in armor who looked like the leader asked, "Have you seen anyone suspicious here?"
Ji Yunshu walked to the door and asked nonchalantly, "Suspicious person? Do you think I look like one?"
The man obviously knew Ji Yunshu and said with his head down, "I dare not."
Ji Yunshu sneered, "What are you afraid of? You came to me for no reason and said you were chasing a fugitive. What? Did you see the fugitive enter my house?"
Of course, the man didn't dare to admit what he said. If he couldn't find the person, he would have slandered the innocence of the wife of the Marquis of Changxing for no reason, and he would probably not have a good ending.
"No, I was just following orders to search."
"So you're still searching me? Then tell me on whose orders? What kind of fugitive did you arrest? What did you do?"
"this……"
The small chief couldn't help but secretly groan. They were also unlucky. They happened to run into the Dharma Assembly of Huguo Temple. Many women from high-ranking officials and dignitaries came today. Which one could he afford to offend?
Ji Yunshu said impatiently, "Either produce the search warrant or get out of here."
The man pondered for a moment, and finally left with his people.
The maidservant beside Yao said, "The women living here have all been searched, but the Crown Prince's wife hasn't been searched. Isn't that a little inappropriate?"
Ji Yunshu glanced at her and asked, "Mom, do you suspect that I'm harboring a fugitive?"
"How could that be? I'm just worried that the Jingzhao Prefecture will come back and accuse us of interfering with official business."
Ji Yunshu said indifferently, "If they have evidence, then they can accuse me. If not, then they can say whatever they want."
After saying that, she closed the door.
Naturally, her attitude made people very unhappy. When the old woman returned to report to Yao, she inevitably added a few words: "The Crown Prince's wife stopped the search. Could it be that she is feeling guilty?"
Yao glanced at her and said, "She has been more well-behaved these days, so you think she has a good temper."
Thinking of what happened on the night Ji Yunshu married into the Marquis's Mansion, the old woman's heart trembled, and she quickly said, "It was my fault for talking too much."
Yao said, "This matter has nothing to do with us, so there's no need to meddle in it."
On the other side, the small leader was also complaining to his superior: "Sir, the wife of the Crown Prince of Changxing Marquisate is not cooperating. I really have no choice."
The prefect of Jingzhao waved his hand and asked him to leave.
Seeing that there was no one around, he asked a relatively inconspicuous person behind him, "Are you sure she's with the wife of the Marquis of Changxing?"
