After dismissing that possibility, Ji Yunshu continued asking: “Besides Xue He, who else?”

“No one else!” Jiang Wen was in so much pain he was about to kneel on the ground. He looked at Jingrong pitifully: “You… let go.”

Jingrong didn’t let go and demanded: “Think carefully—who else exactly?”

“There really is no one else.”

“I’m asking you one last time!”

“I…” Jiang Wen was almost in too much pain to speak at all.

Watching from the side, Fang Tong was extremely anxious. He said: “Like this, you really will cripple his hand.”

Jingrong sneered coldly: “Then you’d all better carefully, clearly think through this one more time.”

“…”

Although Ji Yunshu had always opposed violence, right now, she completely agreed with Jingrong’s approach.

Some people just needed to be pressed to get results.

Sure enough, the outcome didn’t disappoint them.

The anxious Fang Tong suddenly blurted out: “I… although I don’t know who else he had contact with, I do know he frequently went to one place.”

Ji Yunshu’s expression grew serious: “Where?”

“Drunken… Drunken Moon Pavilion!”

“What kind of place is that?”

Before Fang Tong could speak, Jiang Wen, already kneeling on the ground, endured the pain and said: “It’s just an elegant residence! Inside they specialize in singing, playing instruments… and also playing chess. Many… many refined and elegant people go there. Perhaps Du Mubai made connections with some high officials or nobles there that we don’t know about. If you… want to know, you can go there yourselves.”

The pain in his wrist made him nearly lose his voice by the time he finished speaking!

Therefore, Jingrong also loosened his grip slightly.

He continued asking: “How do you know he frequently went there?”

Jiang Wen caught his breath and said: “Fang Tong and I once inadvertently saw a handkerchief fall from his clothes. It had the three characters ‘Drunken Moon Pavilion’ embroidered on it, and beside that was the character ‘Lan’! We asked him a few questions at the time, but he refused to say anything. After that, we ran into him going to the Drunken Moon Pavilion several more times. But thinking that since he was a student of the Marquis of Pingyang’s residence, naturally the places he went were different from ours, so we didn’t think much of it. But if he met anyone inside, we truly don’t know.”

After all, their circles were different!

Du Mubai was a student.

They were just ordinary scholars.

The gap was right there.

Seeing that he had obediently answered all these questions, Jingrong kindly released his hand.

Whew…

Having gained his freedom, Jiang Wen sat on the ground, kicking his feet as he retreated several steps backward, far away from the wooden bars.

Looking at his own wrist again, it had been squeezed by Jingrong until blood threads appeared.

One could see how strong that fellow was!

If he hadn’t remembered about the Drunken Moon Pavilion matter, his hand might really have been broken.

Fortunately, fortunately.

Fang Tong hurried forward to check on his wrist’s condition.

Concerned, he asked: “How is it?”

He cradled his wrist, unable to speak, his small eyes fearfully looking at Jingrong standing outside the cell.

Terrified.

Having obtained the answers they wanted, Ji Yunshu and Jingrong were naturally very satisfied.

Indeed, they needed to apply pressure!

Before leaving, Ji Yunshu said apologetically: “Young Master Jiang, this was truly unavoidable. Please forgive us.”

After the two of them left.

Fang Tong plopped down on the ground, and the two looked at each other.

Still shaken!

Ji Yunshu and Jingrong had intended to leave the prison, but—

Before they could get out, a roaring sound came from the other end of the prison.

It echoed through the dim prison, making one’s back involuntarily turn cold.

Immediately, several jailers rushed over, running toward the direction of the roaring.

Ji Yunshu grabbed the last jailer and asked: “What happened?”

“Mr. Ji doesn’t know—among the group previously arrested for the gambling stone business, there’s a young fellow who, after being locked up, somehow started going crazy, roaring and shouting. He nearly injured someone. We had no choice but to lock him up separately. Listen, he’s started roaring again.”

After explaining, the jailer hurriedly ran over.

Ji Yunshu and Jingrong naturally followed as well.

Arriving at a cell at the very back, they saw several jailers rush inside and pin down a man who was banging his head against the wall.

“Ah!” The man roared loudly.

The several jailers struggled greatly to restrain him.

“Stop roaring! If you want to die, don’t die here, or we’ll all suffer for it too.”

“Ah!” The man didn’t speak, just kept roaring.

Ji Yunshu seemed to see something.

Just as she was preparing to enter the cell, Jingrong stopped her.

Signaling her not to get close.

Ji Yunshu: “With you here, it’s fine.”

She then stepped inside.

Jingrong followed behind her.

Looking at the frenzied man on the ground, Ji Yunshu instructed the guards: “Go fetch a cup of water.”

Water?

One of the guards: “What do you need water for?”

“Just go fetch it.”

“Alright.”

Not bothering with so many questions, the jailer ran out and quickly brought back a cup of water, handing it to her: “Mr. Ji, the water is here, but what are you going to do?”

“First help him up.”

The jailer complied.

They pulled up the man who had been pressed to the ground.

But the man still knelt on the ground, his shoulders and hands pinned behind him, firmly restrained.

Unable to move!

Ji Yunshu met the man’s gaze.

This person’s eyes were unfocused!

His eyeballs rolled back white.

His mouth twitched.

She was even more certain—this was exactly the condition she had diagnosed.

The jailer was bewildered: “What do we do now?”

Ji Yunshu didn’t speak. She just reached out her hand and grabbed the man’s mouth, then said: “One of you pinch his nose.”

“I’ll do it!” Someone volunteered and pinched the man’s nose.

The man struggled desperately, shaking his head vigorously.

Trying to break free from the hands gripping his mouth and nose.

But to no avail.

Then, Ji Yunshu suddenly poured the cup of water in her hand into the man’s mouth.

“Cough cough cough…”

Because his nose couldn’t breathe and his mouth was held shut, the man was choked by the water suddenly poured into his mouth and coughed repeatedly.

His face flushed red!

No one knew why Ji Yunshu was doing this.

Not until the man’s struggling strength gradually disappeared and he stopped roaring did everyone understand the reason behind Ji Yunshu’s actions.

So she was “treating his illness.”

After Ji Yunshu’s hand released from the man’s mouth and she saw him finish coughing, his body going limp, she told the jailers: “You can let him go.”

The jailers were still somewhat uneasy, but they slowly released him.

The moment they let go.

The man collapsed forward onto the ground.

Soft as a pile.

Completely lacking the strength he had just moments ago.

“Miraculous! Previously we had to restrain him for a long time until he ran out of strength before he’d stop. Mr. Ji, what did you give him to drink?”

“Just an ordinary cup of water.”

“Ordinary water? One drink and it worked?”

Simply miraculous.

How did she do that?

Jingrong was also somewhat puzzled.

This woman could not only solve bizarre cases, but could also treat these strange ailments.

Mm, indeed his woman! Just that miraculous.
