Chapter 411: Ah Xie, You Lost
Di Ran said in a calm voice: "If you want to prove whether Ji Nian Fu was taken away and killed by the princess, the easiest way is to ask the auction house to hand over the list of auction boxes. We will know who the owner of box number 10 is after checking."
Thirteen continued, "It's just that the auction house has rules. They don't easily reveal the privacy of customers. Even if the emperor comes, they still follow the rules and won't make exceptions for any reason."
Di Ran narrowed his cold eyes slightly: "Another method is to find witnesses. As long as we find the servants who served the princess that day, we can naturally ask them about the situation. But now I think those people may no longer be here."
Ji Yunxie was stunned: "Why?"
"Of course it's murder. The Ye family girl made such a fuss, and also involved the Duke Zhenguo Mansion. To be on the safe side, the princess might take the initiative."
When Ji Yunxie heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart: "So you're just going to let the murderer go unpunished?"
Although the Crown Princess is his cousin, he should stand on her side.
But it seemed impossible for him to just watch her kill innocent people and remain indifferent.
Di Ran looked lazy and said nonchalantly, "This matter involves the Crown Princess and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. If things go wrong, both sides will be offended. Although I am not afraid, I don't like trouble either."
"However, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion must have received news of the death of the young master of the Ji family, otherwise the Ye family would not have gone to the government office to file a complaint."
Thinking about it, he raised his eyes and ordered: "Thirteen, you go to the prison and watch. If necessary, take action. Just save the life of the girl from the Ye family."
"Yes, master."
Thirteen responded and stepped back.
"Axie, you are going to lose~"
A light voice came, bringing the dazed Ji Yunxie back to his senses.
Glancing to the side, he saw that his chess piece had been surrounded on the chessboard at some point, and they didn't kill him. They just watched him struggle to death, trapped and in a dilemma.
Ji Yunxie looked at the situation on the chessboard that seemed hopeless, his brows furrowed tightly, and his thin lips pursed into a straight line.
Finally, she looked up at Di Ran, pouted, and dropped the white chess piece in her hand.
"Stop playing."
"You don't even know how to give way to me~" Listening to his resentful mumbling, Di Ran's eyebrows were tender, and the corners of his lips were curved.
"All is fair in war. On the battlefield, the enemy will not let you, let alone give you time to think and rest."
Ji Yunxie was stunned, and said with a curled lip: "Ayue is not an enemy."
Di Ran stood up from the couch, picked up Ji Yunxie, pinched his cheek, and smiled dotingly.
"How can my little husband be so innocent and cute?"
Ji Yunxie's cheeks flushed as he was held in his arms, and he covered his face with his hands.
……
The sun sets in the west and the sky is filled with sunset.
On the official road not far from Anyang City, a group of people were galloping on horseback.
"Third sister-in-law, are you sure Fu'er appeared in Anyang City?"
The person who asked this question was a young man, about thirty years old. Although he had gone through years, he was still vigorous and radiant with a strong and tough air.
This person is Ji Yunfei, the second son of the Duke of Zhenguo. When he was young, he often followed the Duke of Zhenguo in and out of military camps and honed his martial arts.
If he were in a male-dominated country, he would definitely be a fierce general on the battlefield.
Hearing the question from her husband's brother, Ye Changlin, who was also riding a horse behind her, responded.
"This is absolutely true. The day before yesterday, Tianjiao sent me a message saying that someone in Anyang City saw Fuer appear. She has already gone to Anyang City first and should have found Fuer by now."
Ji Yunfei said with a gloomy face, "Then let's hurry up. Ever since Fu'er disappeared, mother has been depressed and worried all day long. Fu'er is the only bloodline left by my elder sister. If anything happens to Fu'er, how can I explain to my dead elder sister?"
