Hidden in the court

Chapter 139: One Body, Two Souls? You're in Trouble

Ji Mingshang was also stunned. He was now certain of one thing. The fellow villager was the fellow villager, and Tan Heng was Tan Heng. The fellow villager was a time traveler, but his mode of time travel was a little different from his. For example, he seemed to have traveled through time and space. Because of Ru Shuang's knife three years ago, his soul occupied Ji Jun's body.

As for the fellow villager, this is almost a double soul in one body, and they even use two faces, and even their body shapes can change. The most important thing is that their memories are not connected, unlike him who inherited Ji Jun's martial arts and skills.

Now he understood it completely. But now the person in the carriage was Tan Heng, not his fellow villager. Zhou Boxian was going to be in trouble.

"Zhou Boxian, come and see who this is?"

Following the sound, Zhou Boxian saw the person lying in the car. Then he looked again and realized that it was not the female warrior at all! It was clearly Tan Heng. He saw it, and so did the dozen people around him.

Zhou Boxian just felt it was a fantasy. The woman in the carriage was clearly the heroine, so how did she become Miss Tan? The heroine left, so why did Miss Tan appear there again?

"This... why is it Miss Tan? Where is that female hero?"

"Take a good look at this woman. Where did this woman come from? In my opinion, it's you who kidnapped Miss Tan and had bad intentions. We caught you on the spot, and you made up this lie to try to get away with it."

Ji Mingshang now became interested and started to attack Zhou Boxian.

Zhou Boxian turned pale with fright at his words.

"No, no..."

"What else is there to explain? People are injured, isn't that obvious?"

"Take him away! We'll explain when we get to the Lujiang County Government Office."

"NO, I have not!"

Zhou Boxian's eyes were bloodshot, his voice was trembling, and his mentality was exploded.

Was it an illusion? It had to be. I had been walking for a whole day and night, and I was very nervous. I hadn’t eaten or drunk anything. I must have been hallucinating.

He was already extremely nervous and hadn't eaten or drunk anything for a day. Now he was being wronged and had no way to defend himself. Finally, the string in Zhou Boxian's brain broke, his eyes went dark, and he fell down.

"Drive the carriage and take him back to Lujiang County Government. Don't forget to send a message to the Zhou and Tan families."

Beijing, Ministry of Rites

"Zhou Huai, if anything happens to my daughter, I will never forgive your Zhou family."

All the people from the Ministry of Rites were waiting outside to watch the fun, and even people from several neighboring ministries came. To be honest, it has been a long time since the six ministries have been so lively.

Tam Wing-man was arguing with Zhou Huai inside. Everyone knew Tam Wing-man to some extent. He was a well-known figure after all. When had they ever seen him so angry and swearing without caring about his image?

On the other hand, Zhou Huai, who is obviously a generation older than him, has no temper at all when being scolded. You keep apologizing and comforting him.

"What's going on?"

"Alas, I heard that the Zhou family was going to propose to Miss Tan. Miss Tan's daughter was not happy about it, and she went to Lujiang to explain it to the Zhou family. Originally, it was nothing, and the head of the Zhou family agreed. But I never expected that his eldest son would be so angry that he kidnapped the daughter, and she has not been found yet..."

"Ah! This kid from the Zhou family is so terrifying."

"How dare he disregard the Zhou family's reputation and do such a thing?"

"Tsk, who says it's not?"

Naturally, what happened outside the Meridian Gate soon spread to the palace.

Nangong Lin felt a little strange. "I just sent Ji Mingshang to give the Zhou family a warning, and this happened to the Zhou family. Could it be that Ji Mingshang did it?"

He sighed and continued to say to Su Youde: "Forget it, go call them in, and tell everyone to go back to work, don't embarrass yourself outside."

"Yes."

Soon, Tan Yongwen and Zhou Huai arrived at the main hall.

"Greetings to Your Majesty."

"Alright, alright, stop bowing, I know everything. You two don't need to quarrel anymore, the most important thing now is to find the person. You two should gather people now and go to Lujiang to find the person. You don't have to do your job as Minister Zhou Huai for now, go and discipline the younger generation in your family. When you find the person, come back with Tan Yongwen. If you can't find the person, go home and retire now!"

Zhou Huai naturally knew that this arrangement was one of the purposes, but what could he say? He could only swallow this loss in silence.

Now I can only pray that his eldest grandson won’t do anything stupid again.

庐江

"What did you say? Ji Mingshang found the person and confirmed that it was Boxian who kidnapped Tan Heng and was injured?"

"Grandpa, it's absolutely true. Marquis Jiangning is already on his way back with his men."

The servant reported to Zhou Hai. After listening to the report, Zhou Hai felt sick all over.

"It's over. This son may not be saved."

The two families had been searching for a whole day and night but couldn't find it, but Ji Mingshang happened to find it? At this point, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he probably knew from the beginning that he was definitely here to cause trouble.

Now we can only hope that the parties involved will not pursue the matter, so that even Ji Mingshang won’t be able to do anything.

Soon, Ji Mingshang brought people to the Lujiang government office, and people from the Tan and Zhou families also rushed in.

Ji Mingshang sat in the upper seat. The mountain behind him massaged his shoulders. He took a sip of tea, raised his head to rinse his mouth, and spit on the ground. He slammed the gavel in his hand, and his movements were smooth and flowing.

"Ascension!"

"Bring the suspect Zhou Boxian to court!"

When Zhou Boxian was brought up, the expressions of all the people in the Zhou family changed slightly.

Ji Mingshang said in a slightly blaming tone:

"Why are you holding me? Let me go, Master Zhou. You don't have to kneel anymore. Just bear with it and sit on the ground."

Zhou Boxian sat down nonchalantly, and the expressions of the Zhou family members all relaxed a little.

Ji Mingshang asked Tan Heng again, "Has the victim woken up?"

"Reporting to the Marquis, the man has been in the clinic for quite some time. The doctor said that it was because of the head injury and not eating or drinking for a day and a night that he fainted. He is awake now."

"It's good that he's awake. Bring the victim up."

Soon, Tan Heng appeared with a bandage on her head. Seeing her like this, everyone in the Tan family became angry, while the Zhou family members all gasped.

"What are you guys standing there for? Give the victim a seat. Can't you see that he's been injured so badly?"

Ji Mingshang's voice suddenly became louder. He naturally knew the extent of Tan Heng's injuries. To be honest, it was just bruises, not even a broken skin. In addition, after a day's journey, if he had been sent to the hospital later, he would have recovered.

As for why it was wrapped with such thick gauze, it was of course Ji Mingshang's instruction.

"Thank you."

Zhou Boxian didn't say anything about this "different treatment" and even thought it was quite reasonable.

"Tan Heng, I want to ask you, did Zhou Boxian kidnap you two nights ago?"
