Ji Mingyan: “???”
He patted his head and felt that something was wrong.
What happened to this soul-chasing insect? How did it go around in circles and bring him back home?
Is this soul-chasing insect no longer useful?
Maybe.
Ji Mingyan followed the soul-chasing insect into the house, thinking that he had to find a way to find another soul-chasing insect.
My brother-in-law must be so sad that he can’t find the horse.
Ji Mingyan searched his memory for where he had found the Soul-Chasing Bug that year, while unconsciously following the Soul-Chasing Bug.
It turned out that the soul-chasing insect flew to the gate of his fifth brother's yard, then flew into the formation and disappeared without a trace.
The formation couldn't stop the little bugs, but it could stop Ji Mingyan.
He could only stand outside and wait.
He was just thinking about how to call Fifth Brother and ask him to return his bugs.
Then he noticed that there was some movement coming from under an inconspicuous tree.
It sounded like something falling to the ground, very light, similar to a pile of hay falling to the ground.
Ji Mingyan looked up and saw Ji Mingyuan.
Ji Mingyuan still had two large snakeskin bags hanging on his left and right, but this time, the bags were not filled with food for humans, but were full of grass.
Not only that, Ji Mingyuan was holding a large pile of grass in his hand.
Just now, the grass in his hand fell to the ground.
At this moment, he pushed the two large snakeskin bags behind him and was bending down with some difficulty to pick them up.
Ji Mingyan originally wanted to rush over to say hello, but in this situation, he suddenly thought of a very scary thing.
Could it be that the horse from his brother-in-law's house was stolen by his fifth brother?
Otherwise, how could this soul-chasing insect get into Fifth Brother's yard, and why did Fifth Brother go to the stable to move a pile of grass?
Fifth brother doesn’t eat grass.
Oh my god!!
What to do now? !
His fifth brother is very important to him, and his brother-in-law is also very important to him. They are both his flesh and blood. Who should he choose?
Chapter 47 He Has Savings
Ji Mingyuan didn't see Ji Mingyan. After picking up the grass, he went back to the yard to feed the horses.
Ji Mingyan was so shocked that he stopped where he was and didn't call him Fifth Brother.
He wandered around the back garden of Ji's mansion in a daze, feeling extremely conflicted.
Fifth brother has never liked to get along with people since he was a child. On the contrary, he likes small animals very much.
My mother was still alive at that time. She was afraid that my fifth brother would be lonely, so she gave him a puppy.
But after a few years, the puppy died. My fifth brother was very sad and never kept any animals again.
After many years, Fifth Brother brought back a horse, which means that he must like that horse very much.
Fifth brother is alone all year round, so it would be great if he had a horse to keep him company.
The problem is that the horse belongs to my brother-in-law! My brother-in-law also likes that horse very much!
"What’s wrong with you?"
Ji Mingshuang, who had just returned from the Hanlin Academy late at night, saw Ji Mingyan and spoke suddenly.
Ji Mingyan raised his head, the moonlight falling on his face, outlining a bit of melancholy: "You don't understand."
Ji Mingshuang: “???”
Ji Mingshuang was speechless for a moment, then guessed, "Could it be that you went to the Ministry of Justice during the day and got into some trouble?"
Ji Mingyan shook his head with disdain: "Of course not, how could I possibly cause trouble?"
He looked at his seventh brother, thought for a moment, coughed a few times, and said with a very serious expression: "Mingshuang, Sixth Brother has a question for you."
Ji Mingshuang nodded: "You ask."
Ji Mingyan: "If one day you need to choose between me and Fifth Brother, who would you choose?"
Ji Mingshuang, who had been listening attentively and really thought Ji Mingyan had encountered some problem and was planning to find a solution for him, said: "..."
Ji Mingyan blinked his big eyes, still waiting for Ji Mingshuang's answer.
Ji Mingshuang shook his head at Ji Mingyan, then shook his head again, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just said, "It's late, go to bed early."
So he walked one step deep and one step shallow.
The Hanlin Academy has been very busy recently and he is tired.
While Ji Mingyan was still struggling, at the Wu family, which was diagonally opposite the Ji family, the round-faced steward took three servants from the family and quietly left the Wu family and arrived outside the courtyard of Liquanfang.
Outside the wall, four people hid in the corner under the cover of the shadowless formation.
The waning moon hung in a corner of the sky, and the stars around it flickered, vaguely matching the location here.
Inside the wall, Fang Yuan's parents, old and elderly, had already gone to their rooms to rest. The Fifth Prince's men were guarding everywhere.
It was very quiet at this time, and only the occasional drunk person passing by could be heard mumbling to himself, the content of which was unclear.
The Fifth Prince's elite troops were all guarding the Ministry of Justice's prison, waiting for the Ji family to fall into their trap.
Therefore, the martial arts skills of the people guarding this place are relatively poor, with only three of them being slightly better, but none of them are good enough.
After all, in the eyes of the fifth prince and the women around him, the Fang family's parents are no longer of much use.
What good would it do for the Ji family to look for the Fang family's parents? Their most promising youngest son had been murdered by that steward. The hatred for their son's murder was irreconcilable. Could they possibly change their confession?
Besides, how could he change his confession? Fang Yuan was indeed killed by the steward, but his body had not yet been found. But it would be found sooner or later. Moreover, the steward had taken Fang Yuan's identity and went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, which was irrefutable evidence.
The only way for the Ji family to rescue the steward is to break into the prison.
Therefore, the people guarding Fang's parents were not very serious and were drowsy.
Because no one thought that anyone would go to great lengths to cause trouble for Fang's parents.
It was already late at night, and the people on guard were becoming more and more sleepy, until suddenly one by one they dropped their heads and fell to the ground.
"It's a knockout drug!" The three strongest martial artists who were left unharmed said, "Be careful!"
This knockout drug is the most common on the market. Its effect is not strong. People with better martial arts skills can resist it with internal force.
Poison Lady had a powerful version specially made by Ji Mingyan, which he gave her, but she didn't use it.
