Ji Zhao renovated fang Jun’s family house now. They are not as leaky as before. A few big people were crowded in the narrow room, and then a charcoal basin was burned, which make the room warm.
Ruyi has been sent back to the palace. When Ji Heng and Ji Zhao came, Wang Meng in there. He had stabilized fang Jun’s mood. Seeing Ji Zhao, he was excited and raised his voice and said, “I didn’t kill Ji Qingyun! ”
“What’s going on? “Ji Zhao asked in a hurry.
Fang Jun’s eyes are empty, falling into memories.
“I did receive Chen Wuyong’s secret order that day, he asked me to take someone to Liaodong to find Ji Qingyun, but not to kill him. ”
“Why is that? “Ji Zhao asked with a frown.
Fang Jun shook his head. “I don’t know, but I know that Chen Wuyong repeatedly stressed that he should take Ji Qingyun back. I was just a thug that he pays. Chen Wuyong didn’t have to explain the reason to me, no matter what he did. ”
“But I saw with my own eyes that someone was chasing and killing my family, not you, and who? ”
“It’s really not me. Besides, I seen the killer, you said. In those days, we ran after each other day and night. When we came to a ruined temple, we saw lights inside. I thought Mister Ji is in the temple, so I can take him back. But, when I take a look, there are corpses all over the ground. I explored the people on the ground one by one. Most of them died. Only a little boy had a breath left, but he was seriously injured and needed immediate treatment. ”
Ji Zhao’s eyes are red, and she excitedly grabs Fang Jun’s wrist. “My brother, Is he still alive? ” (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Fang Jun was shocked. “Are you the daughter of Mr. Ji? ”
Ji Zhao nodded.
Fang Jun suddenly looks at Ji Zhao’s eunuch uniform, which hasn’t been changed back to women’s clothes. He seems puzzled again.
Ji Heng reminded him, “don’t worry about this. Go on, what happened to the child? Where is he now? ”
Fang Jun said, “I thought at that time, it should be the son of Mister Ji. Chen Wuyong told that he wants them alive, so I ignore the bodies of Mister Ji and his wife, and firstly stop the bleeding and bandage the child wound. The previous news was that there were four members of Ji’s family. Still, his daughter was not found at the scene, so we discussed leaving half of them to look for the little girl nearby, and the rest of them would take the boy back first. There is no village in front of there. A little girl must be, don’t go too far. But at this time, someone broke in and found us, and both sides started to work quickly. I saw only a few of them. I thought they were effortless to deal with. But they send a rescue signal to the sky. Soon many of them came to fight with us. All of these people are good at martial arts. We can’t defeat them, and we are losing. But what they meant was to kill. I carried the child on my shoulder and was surrounded by three people. I couldn’t care about anything else, so I had to run away with the child. After running for a long time, those people couldn’t keep up with me and finally drove me to a high cliff. I can’t retreat. I can only jump off the cliff to find a chance of life. The rocks are jagged. Sometimes there are transverse trees and hanging dry vines. I carry the children with one hand and hold a pine tree with the other side. I was going to wait for them to go, and then I climbed up. However, the people above began to throw stones. I was hit in the head by a big rock, and then I was unconscious. ”
Ji Zhao listened and said, “what happened later? What about the kid? ”
“Later, when I woke up, I forgot all the past and didn’t see any children. I dragged my broken arm around the bottom of the cliff, and somehow I came out of there to a village. I don’t know my name or where I came from. I met a kind-hearted man in that village. They helped me and took me hunting. Later, his family engaged in the fur business and transported the fur from Liaodong to the capital for sale. I went to the capital with their motorcade and met an old lady on the outskirts of the capital. When the old lady saw me, she cried and claimed to be my mother, so she took me back. She was so worried about me that she finally got depressed and fell seriously ill. I asked for medical advice, exhausted my family’s wealth, and then, with all my strength, I helped people do some work to make money for my mother’s treatment. The little clay figurine I sold to you was initially given to me by Chen Wuyong. Once I saw my mother playing with it and thought it was worth some money, I decided to sell it. Then I met you, and then you know everything. ”
Fang Jun said all this in one breath, expended a lot of energy, and looked tired. He concluded, “in a word, I have done a lot of bad things in the first half of my life, only to be punished by it, and I also recognize it. But I didn’t kill your family. ”
Ji Zhao could not help but shed tears. “You think about it again. What else can you remember about that child? ”
Fang Jun closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, but finally shook his head. “No, I left him after falling off the cliff. But “He wanted to say it, but he didn’t have the heart to say it when he saw her crying so sad.
He didn’t say Ji Zhao also understood. In such cold weather, her brother was seriously injured and fell off the cliff. There was no hope of his survival. Ji Zhao thought of this, and the little hope that was ignited in her heart went out gradually, and she cried even more sadly.
Ji Heng’s heart was aching. He patted her on the shoulder and comforted her in a low voice.
Even Wang Meng, who has always been slow, was dismayed. He wished he was at the scene. As long as the child had breath, he could be saved.
The case that she thought could be closed suddenly became mysterious again. Ji Zhao is very confused, but also understand that Fang Jun knows that this is the end. That’s why she lost a good deal with him and left him some silver coins, and she left.
When returning, Ji Zhao’s mood was very low. Ji Heng took her hand and said, “ah Zhao, relax, at least now we have a clue. I will go through the matter to find out the real murderer and help you get revenge. ”
Ji Zhao frowned profoundly and said, “It’s strange. Who is going to kill my family? You said, would it be Sun Congrui? ”
“I don’t think so,” Ji Heng shook his head. “Sun Congrui betrayed Mr. Ji to keep his position. Is there any other deep hatred between him and Mr. Ji? Why would he want to kill him? ”
Ji Zhao nodded, “I think so too, but besides him, who else has the motive to kill? Besides, don’t you think that Chen Wuyong is strange? He is clearly at odds with my father. Why must he take my father back and must be alive? ”
Ji Heng bowed his head and said nothing. All of a sudden, he seemed to think of something, and his brow slightly jumped. He glanced at Ji Zhao and found that she was still frowning and thinking, but did not find his abnormality. He touched her head. “If you don’t understand, don’t think about it. It can’t be solved in a moment. ”
Ji Zhao hesitated. “I want to find my brother. “Even if he already dead, at least she can determine the general location. Fang Jun should still remember.
“Well. But now it’s in the middle of winter. It’s snowy over there, covering all traces. It’s hard to find. Let’s go again when it’s warm next year. ” (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
When Ji Heng was about to leave, Ji Heng wants to talk about something but stopped talking several times. Ji Zhao feels a little strange. “Do you have something to say to me? ”
Ji Heng took her into his arms, sighed for a long time, and said, “ah Zhao, I’m sorry. ”
Ji Zhao hugged him. “about what? ”
“I’m sorry,” he repeated, “I’ll protect you for the rest of your life, OK? ”
Ji Zhao nods silently in his arms. She felt that his mood today was a little strange. After thinking about it, she was relieved. He probably hated that he didn’t protect her family earlier. She held him tighter when she thought of it.
