Chapter 71: Do Something
Lan Ting obviously didn't expect Ji Yunshu to be so perceptive. He only revealed a little bit, but she guessed everything.
"I dare not hide it from you, Madam. I don't know what they are looking for, but based on my investigations over the years, my aunt must have known something she shouldn't know."
Ji Yunshu nodded. She also felt that it was a bit far-fetched that a favorite concubine had an affair with a guard and was caught red-handed.
But now it seems that the person who harmed Concubine Lan is related to the Palace of Yama.
In other words, the people behind Yama Palace are indeed related to the palace and the royal family.
Then this account book is very valuable.
Knowing that Lan Ting and he had a common enemy, Ji Yunshu didn't hesitate to take the booklet. He opened it and found that he couldn't understand it at all.
All that is recorded in it are numbers.
She glared at Lanting.
Lan Ting touched his nose and said, "I didn't know that there were all these secret codes inside, but it's normal for the other party to be cautious with such an important thing. This also proves that what I got is real."
Ji Yunshu was puzzled: "Since you know that others can't understand even if they steal it, why did they mobilize such a large force to hunt you down?"
Lan Ting said, "Maybe it's just a precaution, or maybe there are other secrets hidden in it."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but flip through the book in his hand again. It was a thick book. The font inside was not big and was densely packed. It seemed that there were a lot of things recorded.
"How did you get this thing?"
Ji Yunshu asked as he flipped through the pages.
Lan Ting said, "Although the Yama Palace headquarters has been destroyed, there are still many assassins scattered outside. I ran into one a few days ago, so I went to his residence and took a look around. Seeing that he hid this thing carefully, I took it out."
It's really rare for a young man from a noble family to talk about stealing things so confidently.
But now is not the time to talk about this. Ji Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "Everywhere else has been searched, and only here is left. The other party must have set their sights on you. Do you have any way to escape?"
Lan Ting shook his head in a dignified manner. "Those people are quite powerful, and they can even mobilize the patrol battalion. If this thing is really important, they will definitely take it back at all costs."
Seeing Ji Yunshu's expression turn bad, he paused and said embarrassedly: "I'm so sorry for causing trouble to Madam."
It’s no wonder that Ji Yunshu looked unhappy. Because of Zhao Shen, she didn’t want to attract attention at all when she came out this time.
But now trouble has come. Even if she can rely on her identity to prevent the other party from searching, those people must be watching her secretly.
Just as he was thinking, someone knocked on the door again. Ji Yunshu asked impatiently, "Who?"
Soon a voice came from outside: "It's me."
It turned out to be Chaoqing.
Lan Ting looked at Ji Yunshu. Ji Yunshu felt that they were all in the same boat and there was no need to hide the matter. So he glanced at Yin Ye and motioned her to open the door.
Yin Ye was confused for a long time. She knew that she had caused trouble for her wife. She was very upset and disliked Lan Ting.
In order to avoid being exposed, Ji Yunshu did not tell the people around him that Zhao Shen was fake.
So when Yin Ye heard that it was Zhao Shen outside, she instinctively felt a little nervous.
However, seeing that Ji Yunshu looked normal, he felt relieved.
She opened the door to let Zhao Shen in, and then immediately closed the door.
As Chao Qing entered the room, he saw Lan Ting sitting on a chair. He raised his eyes and looked at Ji Yunshu: "I heard that the patrol camp is arresting the fugitive outside. I guess this is him?"
Ji Yunshu briefly told him what happened, and then handed him the account book.
Chao Qing naturally knew what this account book represented, but he was indeed in some trouble at the moment. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Madam, have you thought of what to do?"
"Isn't the patrol battalion catching fugitives? Then let's get one out."
Anyway, she must have been suspected now, so she might as well do something.
Chao Qing had a bad feeling in his heart: "Madam wants to..."
Ji Yunshu said, "There's clearly something wrong with this Jingzhao Yin. Why not take this opportunity to help the Emperor find a new one?"
The last time she was assassinated, Jingzhao Yin investigated for such a long time but still found nothing.
Of course, since the matter involves a gang of underworld killers, the government is powerless, which is understandable.
But if something happens to him under the nose of the patrol camp this time, the Jingzhao Yin will be held responsible.
The position of Jingzhao Yin was in charge of the personnel of the entire capital and had the power to mobilize patrol camps.
It would be extremely dangerous if such an official position was controlled by the enemy.
Lan Ting, who had been silent for a long time, heard her words and spoke with interest: "If you want to bring down Jingzhao Yin, I have something that may be of help."
He found that he was really lucky, as he happened to meet this lady who saved his life.
In the blink of an eye, she had already thought of dealing with Qin Fengwei.
Ji Yunshu was not surprised. This person had probably been eyeing Jingzhao Yin for a long time.
Chao Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Madam has already aroused the other party's suspicion. Now it is obvious that something has happened. Why don't I do it?"
Ji Yunshu frowned: "What's the difference between you and me?"
She didn't want anyone to focus on Chao Qing.
It would be very troublesome if people found out that he was fake.
Chao Qing said: "Of course there is a difference. If something happens to me, people won't think about other things."
Ji Yunshu immediately understood his thoughts. There is a saying that goes, "The darkest place is under the lamp." If something happened to Zhao Shen, people would probably only doubt whether he was really injured and how serious the injury was, rather than whether he was real or fake.
In front of Lan Ting, she didn't say much, but she looked at Chao Qing with worry in her eyes.
Chao Qing discovered that his wife did not have the arrogance of a rich lady. She never regarded herself as a guard who could be sacrificed at any time.
I couldn't help but comfort him: "Don't worry, it's just a show, nothing will happen."
Ji Yunshu didn't say anything after all. Chao Qing's task was not only to play the role of Zhao Shen well, but also to protect her.
So he couldn't let himself take the risk, even if the risk was not big.
After discussing things, Ji Yunshu asked Lan Ting to recuperate, and he had a meal with Chao Qing, and then the two of them went for a walk together.
Pushing the wheelchair along the path in the back mountain, Ji Yunshu soon discovered that someone was following him secretly.
She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are these people so blatant now?"
Chao Qing naturally noticed it as well: "I thought Madam wasn't someone who liked to meddle in other people's affairs."
"I don't like to meddle in other people's business, but this matter isn't really a busy matter. Besides, handing the person over won't do us any good, right?"
"Then, Madam, have you ever thought about what would happen if he was found out of your house?"
Ji Yunshu sneered, "Let's not even talk about whether those people from the patrol camp dare to confront me. Even if they do, how can they prove that Lan Ting is the fugitive they are pursuing? Would the person who lost something dare to say what they lost?"
Once that account book is released, I wonder how many people will be implicated.
How dare Jingzhao Yin let people know of its existence?
