Chapter 193: Dali Temple Riot
Ji Huaiche: "..."
Ji Huaiche: "!!!"
For a man like Chen Hu, who is stronger than an ox, if he could catch a slap from him, his head would probably be knocked off.
Doesn't he have any idea of his situation? Doesn't he know how powerful that slap was?
Ji Huaiche was so angry that he took a deep breath and calmed himself down for a long time before he got up from the ground.
However, his slightly trembling legs hinted that he was not at peace at the moment.
"You are simply asking for your own death. I am an official appointed by the Emperor himself. How dare you two, master and servant, tease me like this? Be careful or I will file a complaint in front of the Emperor!"
In Ji Yuntang's opinion, Ji Huaiche's furious look was just an attempt to save face!
She raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "Prince Ji, before you provoke others in the future, you should first consider your own weight. Don't let the other party not be afraid of you, but you will be the first to kneel on the ground."
"After all, not everyone in this world is as easy to talk to as us, the master and the servant. There are many desperate criminals who would rather fight than talk. If you accidentally offend them one day, you will not just kneel on the ground, you may even lose your head."
"You..." Ji Huaiche clenched his fists, his face darker than the bottom of a pot, and he roared angrily: "Ji Yuntang, don't go too far!"
"When we get to the Dali Temple, I'll see if you can still act arrogantly. When that time comes, don't cry and ask me to save you!"
Ji Yuntang raised a cold smile, "Even if you cry, this princess won't cry."
She glanced at Ji Huaiche and said, "Aren't we going to the Dali Temple? Why don't you take your people and leave!"
Ji Yuntang felt that she could not be accused of being a murderer for no reason. If she did not go, others would think that she was guilty.
If she went there, she could investigate the scene herself to see if the murderer had left any clues.
Ji Yuntang also wanted to know who sent someone to kill Doctor Zhu and put the blame on himself.
When Ji Huaiche saw that she was willing to go to the Dali Temple with him, he immediately felt relieved and stopped making things difficult for her.
He glanced at the guards from the Dali Temple, and they all lowered their heads immediately, pretending not to see him.
Ji Huaiche originally wanted to warn them not to tell anyone about his kneeling in the Night Palace tonight, but on second thought, he felt that it was unnecessary.
These guards are his subordinates. He can guarantee that they won't tell anything, but he can't guarantee that Ji Yuntang and Chen Hu won't tell anyone.
He sneered, stood up straight, and ordered: "Let's go!"
Ji Huaiche specifically asked the guards to surround Ji Yuntang in the middle, so that it looked as if she was being escorted to the Dali Temple.
The people passing by pointed at Ji Yuntang and thought she was the murderer of Doctor Zhu.
"I didn't expect that Princess Ye, who looked like a good girl, could be so cruel. She sneaked into the Dali Temple in the middle of the night and poisoned all the guards and killed Doctor Zhu. Both of them were doctors who cured illnesses and saved lives, and Doctor Zhu had been an imperial physician in the palace for thirty years. What kind of hatred or grudge could make her so cruel!"
"You may not know this yet. I heard that it was Doctor Zhu who poisoned His Highness the Night King first. He had not treated His Highness the Night King properly for the past three years. The Night King's Concubine was resentful of him and went to the palace to ask the Emperor to punish him. Doctor Zhu even admitted all these things in person in front of the Emperor, but he was killed that very night."
"When Dr. Zhu's wife and children learned about this, they fainted from crying several times. Now they are making a scene outside the Dali Temple!"
"..."
Ji Yuntang listened to the various conversations, ignored their strange looks, and didn't pay much attention to them.
Justice is in the hearts of the people. She didn't kill anyone, so she has nothing to be afraid of.
Soon, the group arrived at the gate of Dali Temple.
Before he walked in, he saw a middle-aged woman in white mourning clothes rushing towards Ji Yuntang.
She was holding a knife in her hand and was running, cursing.
"You evil woman, return my husband's life to me. I must kill you today to avenge my husband."
The person who rushed over was Doctor Zhu’s wife, Ms. Zhu.
The corner of Ji Yuntang's mouth twitched, her eyes rolled, and she flashed and hid behind Ji Huaiche.
Treat the opponent as your own shield.
Now, Zhu's target of attack became Ji Huaiche.
Ji Huaiche: "..."
Ji Huaiche: "!!!"
He originally wanted to see Ji Yuntang in trouble, and the reason why he did not stop the wife of Doctor Zhu from making trouble in the Dali Temple was because he wanted to see Ji Yuntang get into trouble because of this Zhu.
Unexpectedly, this woman was hiding behind him.
Ji Huaiche was so angry that his teeth were itching, and he glared at Ji Yuntang fiercely.
"What are you hiding behind me for? Come out!"
Ji Yuntang sneered, but instead of coming out, she moved along with Ji Huaiche wherever he moved.
"You brought me to the Dali Temple. Now, before I even enter, someone is looking for trouble with me. As the Right Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple, shouldn't you protect my safety?"
"If anything happens to my princess here, you will not be able to escape responsibility, and the Yongning Marquisate will also be to blame."
Ji Huaiche: "!!!"
His face turned green with anger!
But what Ji Yuntang said made sense.
As soon as the incident involving Imperial Doctor Zhu happened today, a lot of people gathered in front of the Dali Temple, almost blocking the roads on both sides.
With so many eyes watching, if something really happened to Ji Yuntang in front of the Dali Temple, he would be the first to take the responsibility.
Furthermore, it was also his dereliction of duty if he did not stop the troublemakers.
No matter who this matter is brought to the attention of, he will never be in the right.
Ji Huaiche's fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound. He could only reluctantly give the order: "Come here, hold Madam Zhu down and protect Princess Ye's safety."
Two guards immediately stepped forward and pressed Zhu to the ground, and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.
She was so angry that her face twisted and she cursed, "You lowly things, who told you to touch my wife with your dirty hands? Let me go, let me go, I want to kill Ji Yuntang."
When Ji Yuntang saw that he was safe, he immediately jumped out from behind Ji Huaiche, jumping three feet away, as if he was some dirty thing that was shameful to see.
Ji Huaiche: "..."
Ji Yuntang's actions did not cause much harm to him, but were extremely insulting.
He suddenly felt embarrassed, and when he was about to say something, he saw Ji Yuntang walking up to Madam Zhu with a smug look on his face, looking at her with mocking eyes.
"What is my status as a princess? What is your status as a princess? If you kill me, are you sure your whole family will survive?"
