Ma Ping ‘an quickly stepped forward and looked at his attire. He quickly said, “Go back to your room and change your clothes. We’ll talk on the way!”
“Alright!”
She asked him to wait outside. When she reached the bedroom, she pushed the door open and walked in.
An elegant fragrance entered his nose. It was very familiar. It belonged to Ji Xueyan. Judging from the rich fragrance, she should not have left yet.
Combined with the current situation, she should have come not long after he went to the Jingxin Lake. Then, Ma Ping ‘an came. She could not leave even if she wanted to, so she could only hide in the room.
There wasn’t any in the living room, so he could only stay in the bedroom.
He didn’t turn around, afraid of arousing Ma Ping ‘an’s suspicion, so he closed the door.
He walked into the bedroom. When he heard the sound of the door opening, Ji Xueyan could sense that Zhang Ronghua was alone. He didn’t hide and was waiting for him at the same place. Seeing that the door had closed and he had entered, her heart jumped to her throat. This was the first time something like this had happened. There were also the Crown Prince’s men outside, so she didn’t dare to breathe too loudly.
She was not a thief, but she was extremely flustered. She did not know what was going on.
Seeing Zhang Ronghua walk over in his underpants, she subconsciously ignored him. She raised her jade-like hand and pointed outside as if she was asking what was going on.
Zhang Ronghua didn’t say anything. He shook his head at her, indicating that he didn’t know either.
He walked closer and lowered his voice so that only they could hear him.”His Highness sent him here because he must have something urgent to look for me. I’m afraid he won’t have time to perfect the Haoran Bone Setting tonight.”
Ji Xueyan nodded and didn’t dare to speak, afraid that Ma Ping ‘an would hear her.
“I was delayed by something two days ago and have been staying in the Scholar Hall.
She shook her head, as if to say that she was fine!
“I’ll go over and take a look first.”
He took the clothes and walked out.
Seeing him leave, Ji Xueyan’s heart relaxed. Her tense mind also relaxed.
In the hall.
Zhang Ronghua was wearing his clothes, but he was not as calm as he looked. The feeling of being a thief seemed to be…lt was a little exciting!
No!
He didn’t do anything bad, so how could he be a thief?
However, when he saw Ji Xueyan, his blood started to flow faster and faster. The pleasure was at its peak and could not be described with words.
He didn’t dare to think about it anymore and quickly put on his clothes. He tied his hair up with a rope and tidied his collar. He looked at the bedroom and opened the door. He stood outside and closed the door.
Without stopping, he called out, “Let’s go!””
Ma Ping ‘an was suspicious and joked,” You look like you’ve been caught doing bad things!”
Zhang Ronghua pretended to be unhappy and kicked him.”Nonsense!”
“After all these years, I know very well what kind of person you are. You’re loyal to your job and don’t get close to women. Even a beauty like Ningxue can’t enter your eyes, let alone other women.” Ronghua was speechless.
Without batting an eyelid, he quickened his pace and walked out.
Ji Xueyan waited until the footsteps outside had completely disappeared. After a while, there was no movement at all. Ji Xueyan’s tense mind finally relaxed. Out of caution, she didn’t go out immediately. She picked up Purple Cat from the ground and pointed outside. “Go out and see if they’ve left.”
“Meow!” Purple Cat agreed.
He jumped down from her hand and landed on the ground before running outside.
He was proud in his heart. At the critical moment, he still had to rely on him!
After a while.
It returned once again and stood up proudly. Its two short legs supported its body and its two small paws gestured as if to say that they were leaving.
Hearing this, Ji Xueyan was relieved.
Just as he was about to leave, he retracted his foot. He looked at it and muttered to himself me when he comes back.”
“Meow!” The purple cat patted its chest with its paws, indicating that it understood.
Without any delay, he changed directions and left through the side door. Only after leaving the residence did he feel completely relieved. He circulated his movement technique and rushed towards the residence of the Grand Tutor.
On the way.
Ma Ping ‘an explained the situation in detail.
Zhang Ronghua thought about who the murderer was. From the motive, Yin Guoping had just taken office and was murdered. His entire family was killed. This case was too big and would shake the entire court.
The Shangjing government was a department with real power and managed the entire capital. The official positions of the prefect were different. Sometimes they were high, sometimes they were low, but the lowest was a third rank official. Yin Guoping was one of them.
Even so, he was still a high-ranking official of the imperial court. He was killed just like that, and no one survived. If the murderer was not found, the face of the Great Xia Dynasty would be completely lost. What prestige would there be left to speak of?
Once this matter started, the consequences would be very serious.
Moreover…
He was still the First Prince’s subordinate, a core member of his faction. If he died, the First Prince’s faction would be defeated and would never be the same again.
At this time, the First Prince probably had the intention to kill. For this position, he had sacrificed too many benefits in exchange for it. Yin Guoping had taken the position, but before his butt could warm up and he had seen the reward, he was gone. The position was also empty, and there was no chance to fight for it.
If he failed once in a position, no one would give him a second chance.
Moreover, those princes were not easy to deal with. They would definitely fight for it by hook or by crook.
Position was one of them. Secondly, if he could not catch the mastermind in a short period of time and execute him, it would be a fatal blow to his prestige. Those who followed him would think that they had sold their lives to him. If they were assassinated and their entire family was destroyed, they would not even be able to catch the murderer.. If they continued to work hard, wouldn’t they become the second Yin Guoping?
