Father Yang did not notice the strange tone in Zhen Shicheng's voice and sneered, "Master Zhen, are you trying to protect your subordinates?"
"That is absolutely not the case. However, I would like to remind Brother Yang in advance that my subordinate has absolutely nothing to do with your son's unfortunate death."
"Let's meet the person first!" In Yang's father's opinion, Zhen Shicheng's words were purely an excuse for his subordinates.
It's okay?
Since he was able to save the kid from the Dongping Marquis's Mansion at that time, why couldn't he save his son?
Even if there is no connection, he will find one!
Father Yang was determined to find fault and waited with a gloomy look.
Yu Jin is still in a house in Quezi Hutong at this moment.
Prince Yu Qi was in a good mood as he had won the favor of his future father-in-law. He took a small brush to comb Erniu's hair in a leisurely mood.
Erniu lay under the tree with a look of enjoyment on his face, his eyes half closed.
Not long after, a bailiff came and asked him to go to Shuntian Prefecture.
"Someone from the Yang family came and asked to see me by name?"
Although Yu Jin was not a good-tempered person, he had a good relationship with these yamen runners. The yamen runner who came over reminded him, "The old man of the Yang family thinks that you are related to the death of the young master of the Yang family. It seems that he is here to make trouble. You have to be careful."
"Looking for trouble?" Yu Jin narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Let's go."
Hey, what's the matter with his eagerness to try? He wasn't such a troublemaker before.
Thinking about how Jiang Si first soaked in water and then killed someone last night, Yu Jin felt distressed.
If it weren't for Yang Shengcai's bastard behavior, how could Asi have gotten his hands dirty?
Thinking of this, he felt that the boy was getting too cheap.
Well, when Asi and he have a good relationship in the future, he will tell Asi that he should be the one to do the murder and Asi will just hand him the knife.
Thinking about the bright future, Yu Jin curled her lips and smiled.
He walked into the hall of Shuntianfu Yamen with a smile on his face. Father Yang was furious when he saw him. He stared at him coldly and asked, "Are you the yamen runner who saved the second son of the Dongping Marquis's mansion?"
Yu Jin had no intention of teasing Father Yang, and said frankly: "Well, I saved him, but I am not a yamen runner, but an assistant of Lord Zhen. Could it be that this old man sent me a thank-you silver?"
Father Yang ignored Yu Jin's explanation of his identity and attacked him directly after confirming his identity: "Why did you appear in Jinshui River last night? Didn't you notice anyone else when you rescued the second son of the Dongping Marquis's Mansion?"
Yu Jin looked at Zhen Shicheng in surprise: "Master Zhen, who is this——"
"This is Mr. Yang's father."
"Uh, Master Zhen, did you ask Master Yang to help investigate the case?"
"That's not the case. Brother Yang is the victim and is here to understand the case."
"So that's how it is." Yu Jin raised his hand and touched his nose, saying nonchalantly, "I thought Master Zhen had another helper."
"Master Zhen, you are too lenient to your subordinates. How could a small yamen runner speak to you in such an attitude?"
Yu Jin frowned, and a layer of frost suddenly covered his handsome face: "What does how I get along with Master Zhen have to do with you? Since you are not here to help Master investigate the case, but to understand the case, then pay attention to your attitude!"
"How dare you! You are so rude, a little yamen runner. You are so bold. I have reason to suspect that you appeared in Jinshui River last night for another purpose. Maybe you are the young eunuch who set the fire!"
Father Yang is very familiar with this trick of knocking people down.
Of course he knew that this man was not the eunuch who set the fire, but considering his status, he was targeting a small yamen runner. The runner's superior would have to give him some face and make things difficult for the runner.
This is not the end yet. When his son's affairs fade away and no longer attract the attention of the world, it will be easy for the Shangshu Mansion to crush such a small figure to death.
"Hehehe." Yu Jin chuckled.
Father Yang was startled by his laughter.
Yu Jin had a smile in his eyes, and his gaze towards Yang's father unexpectedly became gentle.
There's nothing you can do about it. He has always been tolerant towards the mentally retarded.
"Master Yang, if you have reason to doubt, then just doubt it. Could it be that Shuntian Mansion was opened by the Shangshu Mansion?" Yu Jin was too lazy to waste words with Father Yang, so he glanced at Father Yang and said slowly, "I've already said that I'm not a yamen runner. Master Yang didn't even know that Master Zhen had an assistant. I'm a little surprised."
Although Yu Jin did not reveal his identity when he came to Shuntian Prefecture from the Ministry of Justice, many people knew that the emperor had ordered several princes to go to the six ministries for training. Given the status of the Yang family, he could not hide his identity, so he might as well state it out loud.
Besides, it’s not shameful that his father is the emperor!
Yu Jin concealed his identity only for one person, Jiang Si.
He was afraid that his beloved would have trouble accepting him as a prince, and as for other people, he certainly didn't consider their feelings.
Yu Jin's words stunned Yang's father, and he couldn't help but look at Zhen Shicheng.
"Brother Yang, this is the King of Yan."
Father Yang's eyes suddenly widened and he asked in a lost voice, "King Yan?"
"Yes, the Prince of Yan is training in the Ministry of Justice. As Shuntian Prefecture has a lot of things to do recently, he came to help me. For the sake of convenience, he did not disclose his identity to the public."
Father Yang looked at Yu Jin with an incredible look in his eyes. Soon his face turned pale and then red, and then red and then black, as brilliant as a color palette.
At this moment, he deeply felt what it meant to be shocked and humiliated.
Of course he had heard his father talk about several princes going to the six ministries for training, but the Prince of Yan rarely showed up, so he had never met him.
I didn't expect that the King of Yan was actually this little yamen runner——
Father Yang had a very complicated expression, and smiled awkwardly at Yu Jin: "So it's the prince, I'm sorry."
Father Yang's daughter was the Crown Princess, and he was a generation older than Yu Jin. Of course he would not lose his composure after being shocked. After all, compared with the Crown Prince, the Prince of Yan was nothing.
Yu Jin smiled and said, "Master Yang, you won't think I'm a prostitute now, right?"
Father Yang coughed and said, "This is naturally a misunderstanding. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me."
"I don't dare."
Father Yang regained his composure and became less concerned about Yu Jin.
He is the prince's father-in-law. In private, the Prince of Yan should call him uncle.
Yu Jian was so sensitive that he became annoyed when he saw Yang's father's expression.
Does this idiot think that he can act like a big shot in front of the prince just because he is the prince's father-in-law? It's ridiculous.
Yu Jin clasped his fists towards Zhen Shicheng and said sternly, "Master Zhen, Master Yang has misunderstood me. However, I have something to explain to you, and this is definitely not a misunderstanding."
"Uh, I wonder what your Highness wants to say?" Zhen Shicheng narrowed his fox-like eyes.
With experience, the fun is coming!
Yu Jin glanced at Yang's father with cold eyes.
Father Yang felt a tingling sensation on his scalp for some reason, and had a bad feeling in his heart.
"In fact, I saw the second son of the Dongping Marquis's Mansion fall into the water last night."
"What did you see?" Zhen Shicheng asked immediately.
Father Yang felt inexplicably worried.
"I saw a pair of hands pushing the second son of the Dongping Marquis's Mansion out of the window." Yu Jin said calmly.
