In the Second Prince's Mansion, the Second Prince trembled in his heart as he looked at Hou Nan, who was happily eating fruits and refreshments in the back garden.
Zhou Huan's Dali Temple issued a letter of arrest, saying that Hou Nan, one of the four frequent visitors of the Green Tea Sect, was now on the run. Someone had discovered her traces and found her traces around the capital.
The hope is that there will be permanent personnel in Beijing, businessmen coming and going will pay close attention, and the government will reward those who provide clues.
The rewards vary according to the value of the clues, with a minimum of ten taels of silver and no upper limit.
Moreover, Hou Nan's appearance was painted so lifelike that when the second prince heard that the portrait was written by Ji Min, he couldn't help but get so angry that he dropped several tea cups.
Ji Nian, Ji Nian, Ji Nian again!
The second prince was not angry because Ji Min painted Hou Nan so vividly. In short, with Hou Nan's ability, it was not difficult to disguise himself.
What he was angry about was why he was so unlucky. A few kilometers from the founding of the country, Duke Li, whom he once despised the most, has now become the most difficult mountain to conquer in front of him!
Duke Li and his son are the most simple-minded among the Dukes.
Several generations of courtesy officials have almost always stayed out of the government affairs and stationed at the border all year round. Except for a few who serve in the military, most of the children in the clan tend to be mediocre.
For example, among Li Gong's contemporaries, only one of his cousins became a Jinshi and stayed in the Hanlin Academy as an editor. It took more than ten years before he was promoted from the seventh rank to the fifth rank.
The remaining nephews and nephews of the Li family are either engaged in business, teaching, or living a clean life guarding their land.
Among the nephews and nephews of Duke Li, there were also dandies, but they were just lackeys fighting cocks, drinking and listening to music, and basically had no serious bad habits.
In short, nothing can make the royal family more worry-free than Li Guogong’s family!
The second prince remembered that his grandfather once said that Duke Li and his family are like mountains and rivers that can be moved. They will be stable wherever they are placed. No matter the wind or rain, he would never move even half an inch on his own.
The second prince now thought that what his grandfather meant was that Duke Li and his family were the best border defenders and the most loyal ministers to the royal family.
As long as the people sitting on the dragon throne are descendants of his Zhou family, Duke Li will always guard the northern border for the Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, in the eyes of the second prince, Duke Li and his family are weapons that can be picked up and used anytime and anywhere!
Because of this, he never took Duke Li seriously.
As a result, a few years ago, the second prince, a concubine of the second prince's father-in-law, called Concubine He's concubine brother-in-law "brother-in-law" and "half-brother-in-law".
There is no way, Concubine He has a lot of concubines and concubines!
The "brother-in-law who just made up for it" had a conflict with a family over business. This brother-in-law felt that his brother-in-law was the second prince. How many people in the world could scare him?
So, a group of thugs were hired to destroy the other party's store and force the other party to give up good space.
Who knows, the other party is not a vegetarian either.
After a disagreement, the two sides started fighting.
What’s depressing is that the people that the second prince’s “brother-in-law made up for the job” found were all useless. More than thirty people must have been beaten to tears by five of the other prince’s men!
My brother-in-law was beaten until his eyes were black and his head was swollen. He really didn’t even recognize his biological father anymore!
When I arrived at the Yamen, I found out that the other party was a relative of Duke Li's family, that is, the shop of the younger brother of General Ji, the son-in-law of Duke Li!
The person who was trying the case was a close associate of the Prince of Guangning, so the second prince couldn't take any advantage at all. What's more, it was his own family that was looking for trouble. Moreover, Ji Kui's younger brother was very insidious and was extremely skillful in beating people!
Everyone has minor injuries!
Even if one of them had a broken arm or leg, the second prince could still cause trouble!
As a result, I found five authors, all of which came to the same conclusion!
As for his brother-in-law, he was even more unlucky. He watched everyone fight and hid aside to watch the fun.
As a result, the brother-in-law happened to see a handsome young lady next to him. He threw a "wink" at the young lady with great disgust. As a result, he annoyed his husband-in-law, a big man from the northwest!
A big man from the northwest speaks loudly
"How dare you tease my aunt-in-law!"
The two punches of "Huhu" hit my brother-in-law into a "giant panda"!
It has nothing to do with the guys from the Ji family!
What can the second prince do?
I had no choice but to endure this breath. Thinking about it, I felt really suffocated!
But so what? A prince who was not favored by his father, who was not supported by his maternal grandfather's family, who was not powerful in his in-laws' family, and whose mother and concubine were not favored in the palace, met with a high-ranking and powerful prince who had soldiers at his disposal. There are people in the court, so naturally he can't compete with him.
Especially when you are still in the wrong, and the person who is presiding over the trial is a relative, you can only accept the loss of being dumb.
Thinking about it, he must be incompatible with Li Guogong's family, so he should stay away from him in the future.
Although they are all in the capital, the capital is big, and even the nephews and nephews of the royal family do not like each other, and some of them never interact with each other for the rest of their lives.
What's more, there are even more people in the capital who have enmity with Duke Li.
So the second prince felt unlucky when he thought of Duke Li's mansion.
Previously, as an ordinary prince, he could think this way, but later, when the prince and brother disappeared, the second prince began to get ready to take action and had the idea of fighting for the throne.
But at this time, the second prince did not take Duke Li seriously. He only occasionally thought that if he inherited the throne one day, he would definitely suppress Duke Li!
At least that guy Ji Kui should be repaired properly and let out this bad breath!
In fact, the second prince didn't like his brother-in-law that much.
But this incident made the second prince feel very humiliated.
As a prince, he felt that his respect and dignity had been challenged and despised. He wants to regain this situation and regain this face!
However, the second prince never expected that on his way to compete for the position of crown prince, Li Guogong would become a hurdle that he could not avoid.
And this hurdle is actually related to the Ji family!
Yuan Qian hurriedly advised,
"Your Highness, calm down."
How could the second prince not be angry? The reason why he saved Hou Nan was because Hou Nan told him that only she and the leader of the Green Tea Sect knew how to obtain the secret about Jiangshan Sheji from Ji Min.
And this secret will undoubtedly help the second prince ascend to that position!
However, it is useless to have only Hou Nan now. He has no way to get Ji Min here!
At first, the second prince thought, with a cruel heart and a stamp of his feet, he would throw out a lot of money, recruit "dead men", kidnap Ji Nin, use words and deeds to force a confession, and add Hou Nan's method!
As long as the big thing is accomplished, he will probably give Ji Min the position of one of the "Four Concubines".
Not to mention that he didn't want Ji Nian to die, but he was accidentally killed by Hou Nan. Could it be that the Liguo family could prosecute him, the future emperor?
Besides, Hou Nan said that she can destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces! Nothing to check!
However, just when he was about to deal with Ji Min, Hou Nan's next words almost made the second prince angry,
"Your Highness, in addition to Ji Min, we also need the blood of the princess, preferably the blood of Princess Ruichang! There is also the blood of Chen Guogong, and the blood of Ning Guogong, they must be the blood of the legitimate sons!"
The second prince took a breath and strangled Hou Nan's neck tightly.
"Do you want me to die?"
In the hospital, Ji Jun and Ji Min were waiting for news in the outer hall.
In the inner hall, the doctor was dressing the wound of the young man who was stabbed on the street.
This young man is really the "brother-in-law" of Prince Rongan, the younger brother of the most favored Aunt Wang, Wang Xuan.
The person who stabbed him was Hong Peiju’s cousin Hong Yangliang!
When Ji Jun and Ji Min were pushed aside by the crowd, they happened to be only two or three steps away from Wang Yong.
Wang Xuan's eyes flashed with pain and pleading, but there was no panic or despair as Ji Jun imagined.
Ji Jun hesitated. Facing such a pair of clear eyes, Ji Jun could not stand idly by.
Of course, the premise is that in the book, this person has no interaction with Ni'er, at least he has never hurt Ni'er. As for whether he is guilty of sin, he can be cured and left to the government to decide.
In just a few breaths, Ji Jun looked at Hong Yangliang. Hong Yangliang was holding a small knife in his hand, which seemed to be used to cut the meat when eating meat and bones.
A flicker of doubt flashed through Ji Jun's mind. The knife looked like it was at most two inches taller than the handle.
It seemed that only the tip of the blade was stained with blood. It was late autumn now and the clothes were thicker. Such a small knife would not pierce deep into the abdomen all at once!
In the book, this Wang Xuan died after treatment. So, does that mean that the stab wound was not the cause of death?
Jijun immediately told Maidong to go to a nearby medical center to find someone. Then she leaned down and saw that the abdomen covered by the man's hand was already bright red.
Ji Jun said softly,
"Don't worry, I'm going to find the doctor!"
The young man spoke with difficulty,
"Thank you! Miss, please give me some hemostatic medicine first. I have been prone to bleeding since I was a child!"
"Coagulopathy"!
"hemophilia"?
"Vitamin K deficiency"?
No matter what it is, in short, I can help him if I get it right!
At this time, Ji Min also leaned down next to Ji Jun and whispered in Ji Jun's ear,
"Cousin, he seems to be a newly promoted Jinshi this year and has been to our store."
