C15 (1/2)
In the large hall, the moment Lin Yi's question was heard, the surrounding air suddenly dropped by several degrees.
Hearing this, Prefecture Overseer Ge immediately kneeled down and spoke with his head lowered: ”Your Highness, please forgive me. This humble servant has received kindness from the Wu family since I was young. But this humble subject can take his head and guarantee that even though this Wu Ji is arrogant and despotic, he is definitely not a person who would carelessly disregard the law and lives! ”
”County Magistrate Ge doesn't need to be nervous, it's just a random remark.” Lin Yi waved the fan in his hand as if he did not know what was going on. Then, he looked at Bao Fu Yun and Su Mu and said, ”Do you have anything else to ask? If not, then take a rest.”
When Lin Yi said this, Wang Yu nodded in agreement. He looked at Su Mu, who was gradually turning pale, and said: ”You just have to work hard and your body won't be able to keep up.”
”It's okay, don't worry.” Su Mu had been travelling by carriage all the way to Huai Liu County. Plus, he had been running around for an entire day. Although he couldn't really do it, he still forced himself to stay calm and didn't want Wang Qin to worry.
Lin Yi, who was standing across from him, also heard this. He slightly frowned as he looked at the person who seemed to be even skinnier than he was during the day.
After exiting the main hall of the Wu family, Bao Xuansheng asked from behind Su Mu, ”Brother Su, what should we investigate tomorrow?”
”I think we should first examine the body, but seeing how much everyone in the Wu family values this young master, I don't think they would agree so easily.” Su Mu's forehead was covered in sweat.
It was clear that Bao Fusheng did not notice Su Mu's sickness and continued, ”Brother Su is right. Why don't we go to the school tomorrow to take a look? After all, that was the last place the victim appeared. ”
”Why do you talk so much? Like a sparrow on a treetop, they continuously chattered without end. ” Lin Yi pulled the bag close to him, gesturing Wang Mu to help him back into the room.
Bao Fu Cheng did not understand. He looked at Lin Yi with a puzzled expression and said: ”I only wanted to discuss the case with Brother Su, how come you said so much?”
Seeing that, Lin Yi didn't answer and walked in front with his hands behind his back, completely ignoring the bag.
It was unknown where Bao Fusheng offended this prince, but he was once again angry, so he could only resign himself to his fate and follow behind him.
Not long after, he heard Lin Yi stop his footsteps and say, ”I remember that we brought a thousand year old ginseng with us? You will have it with you tomorrow. ”
”Isn't that old ginseng used to help people? Could it be that there's some kind of great crisis that's going to happen tomorrow? ” Bao Fu Cheng asked in confusion.
But Lin Yi was truly angered by his logic and laughed mockingly, ”The greatest danger is when you leave the palace and ask your Imperial Father to bring you out with him.”
The next morning.
Su Mu didn't bother with Wang Tong's obstructions and headed to the Wu family's main entrance early in the morning to gather all the other students.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yi also followed behind.
When he saw Su Mu, Bao Fusheng mysteriously said, ”Jing Ting also came this morning. Last night, he even let me take Old Ginseng and told me to bring him with me. I feel that this case is fraught with dangers.”
Lin Yi, who had been silently listening, did not wait for Bao Fu Yun to finish. Instead, he slammed the folding fan on Bao Fu's head and said, ”Nonsense, why haven't you left yet?”
Bao Fu Yun held his head and ran to the carriage at the door. Just as he was about to enter, he was stopped by Lin Yi. ”You ride the horse. Brother Su and I will ride the carriage.”
”Why?” Bao Fu asked unwillingly.
Lin Yi turned the fan in his hand and faintly smiled, ”There's no other reason, if I want to sit then I can sit, but is it up to you to do so?”
Hearing this, Bao Fusheng stomped his feet in anger, turned around and walked in the direction of the horse. Unexpectedly, Lin Yi tugged at the corner of his shirt.
Bao Fusheng thought that he was about to admit his mistake and was about to grab Qiao Qiao. But the next moment, he heard Lin Yi say without any emotion, ”Ginseng, bring it here.”
