Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 66 Found the Corpse
As night falls, stars are dotted, and the bright moon hangs in the sky, exuding hazy silver light, covering the lonely earth with a mysterious veil.

"Come and drink."

The alcoholic walked into the alley with a bottle in his hand. After urinating, he saw a person lying on the ground in the distance.

He walked over and pushed the person on the ground with his hands, "Dude, let's sleep together."

After finishing speaking, he lay down next to the corpse and fell asleep, not noticing the dead person at all, staring at him with wide eyes.

It wasn't until the sky was dim that the drunkard opened his eyes in a daze, yawned and stood up.

"It's so comfortable..." Before he finished speaking, he was almost scared out of his wits by the bloody scene in front of him!
I saw that my companion who was supposed to be lying next to me turned into a dead body!And his hands were covered in blood.

The drunkard was so frightened that his legs went limp and he knelt on the ground, desperately shaking his head and muttering: "I didn't kill it, it's none of my business..."

The alcoholic who woke up hurriedly ran to Shuntian Mansion to report the crime, yelling incessantly, "He's dead, he's dead."

Zhou Fu Yin heard that there was a murder case in the capital, and immediately brought the yamen servant and Wu Zuo to the scene.

Wu Zuo made a simple inspection of the corpse, and when he turned the corpse over, Zhou Fuyin gasped.

This, this is not...

"Hurry up, go to the mansion of Minister Ji, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and invite Master Ji over here." Zhou Fu Yin hurriedly ordered the yamen servant beside him.

He never expected that the person who died would be Ji Shangshu's only son Ji Shengquan.

Soon, Ji Mingcheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, rushed over, and Zhou Fuyin briefly explained the situation to him.

Ji Mingcheng didn't believe that his son would die at all. He didn't have to admit that it really happened until he saw the cold corpse.

He grabbed Zhou Fuyin's collar angrily, and roared: "Who killed my son! Where is the murderer?"

Zhou Fuyin said helplessly: "The murderer has not been caught yet."

"The one who found Mr. Ling's body was an alcoholic. According to him, he drank too much last night and lay down here to sleep. When he woke up, Mr. Ling was dead."

Ji Mingcheng didn't care so much at the moment, his eyes were red and he said: "Your Shuntian Mansion has a lot of instruments of torture, I don't believe in heavy torture, he can't say anything useful."

"My lord, isn't this a trick of torture, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate?" Zhou Fu Yin didn't quite agree with such an approach, and there must be grievances under severe punishment.

Ji Mingcheng's eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his hands were bulging. He gritted his teeth and said, "Whether it's a trick or not, I just want the result."

He has been dazzled by hatred, he can't control so much, he only thinks about avenging his son.

"As long as he can say something useful, no matter what method you use, I will be responsible for the accident." Ji Mingcheng was such a son, he was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child.

I was afraid that he would be knocked down, but now he died in such an unknown way, how could he be reconciled, even if he lost his official position and life, he would still seek justice for his son!
"But..." Zhou Fuyin wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a reason. After all, the case has not been solved yet, and the alcoholic is the only witness.

"If you can't find out the murderer, I don't mind sending you to be buried with you!" Ji Mingcheng pushed Zhou Fu Yin away, and angrily shook his sleeves and left.

When the yamen servant saw the person leaving, he rushed over and asked, "My lord, are you alright?"

"Bring the corpse back first." Zhou Fuyin sighed, he knew that this matter was serious and he had to be more cautious.

The news of Ji Shengquan's murder quickly spread in the capital, causing a lot of trouble.

Many people dare not say it publicly, but applaud it secretly. After all, the death of a son from a rich family who robbed civilian women like this is undoubtedly a great thing for the people in the capital.

Tweety heard the news and hurried back to tell Miss.

"Miss, miss, it's not good, something happened, something happened!"

Ruo Shiyu was embroidering in the boudoir, when she heard Cui Er's panicked voice, her finger was accidentally pricked by a needle, and bright red blood dripped out.

Ruo Shiyu didn't care about the wound on her hand, and hurriedly asked: "What happened, did something happen to Mr. Shen and the others?"

"No, it's not Young Master Shen, it's Young Master Ji, that is, Ji Shengquan, the son of Minister of the Ministry of Officials who had a blind date with Miss that time." Tweety reminded her out of fear that she might not remember.

Ruo Shiyu felt relieved when she heard this, and her originally nervous mood also calmed down, and said calmly, "What's wrong with him? Could it be that he came to propose marriage?"

Ruo Shiyu looked indifferent, she had already told her parents about the last blind date, and believed that they would not agree to her marrying such a person, even if she really came to propose marriage, there was nothing to worry about.

"No, he's dead."

"Ah!" Ruo Shiyu yelled in surprise, the needle and thread she just picked up fell to the ground, "Who do you think is dead?"

"Master Ji, Mr. Ji is dead..."

"Hey, what's going on here? Why did people die suddenly?" Although Ruo Shiyu disliked Ji Shengquan, she didn't want him to die.

"I don't know too well. It is said that someone killed him in an alley and was stabbed in the lower body. It is very likely that it was done by a woman."

Of course, Tweety heard these words from others, and she didn't know what was going on.

Ruo Shiyu was frightened by the news, Cui'er quickly helped her to sit down, worried: "Miss, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Ruo Shiyu sat on the bed, her eyelids kept twitching, and she felt a little flustered.

Ruo Shiyu took a few deep breaths, calmed herself down, and said to Cui'er, "Go find my father."

"Yes."

Not long after, Ruo Chaofeng came to his daughter's room, looked at his tired daughter, and asked with concern: "Daughter, is there something wrong with your body? Why is your complexion so bad?"

"Father, I have something to tell you."

Ruo Chaofeng saw his daughter's serious face, and the smile dropped from the corner of his mouth, "What happened?"

"Master Ji was murdered yesterday, does dad know?"

If Chaofeng nodded, even the emperor already knew about this matter, how could he not know.

"I heard that the emperor has ordered Shuntian Mansion Yin to investigate the matter thoroughly, and the murderer must be caught as soon as possible." Ruo Chaofeng didn't know why his daughter brought up this matter, and replied with a frown.

"Yesterday, I met Mr. Ji and had a quarrel with him in the alley."

Ruo Shiyu didn't say yesterday because she didn't want her parents to worry, but today she heard that Ji Shengquan had an accident, and she was worried that it would bring trouble to her father, so she said it.

When Ruo Chaofeng heard this, his face turned serious, "Who did you see when you left? Or did Young Master Ji follow you when you left?"

"No, I escaped and went back to the mansion. I didn't notice whether Young Master Ji followed me or not."

Ruo Shiyu regretted going out alone yesterday, if someone knew about it, she might find it difficult to explain it clearly, and even more afraid that her father would be affected by it.

Seeing his daughter's anxious face, Ruo Chaofeng comforted him: "Don't worry, father will take care of this matter, you can stay in the mansion with peace of mind these few days."

"But... my jade pendant was taken away by Ji Shengquan."

"It'll be fine, trust me dad."

If Chaofeng comforted his daughter, he asked the housekeeper to prepare a car and go to Shuntian Mansion.
