Chapter 395.
Jiang Ran quietly listened to these words of the eldest princess and did not open his mouth.
It wasn’t because he felt the sincerity within these words.
After all, everyone could say beautiful words.
But for the time being, the answer given by the Eldest Princess was something Jiang Ran could accept.
As for saying later …… later things will be said later.
He was silent, was considering other things.
After waiting for half a day and not seeing Jiang Ran’s response, the Eldest Princess couldn’t help but look up at him:
“This palace has already said the words to this point, don’t you have anything you want to say to me?”
Jiang Ran thought for a moment and said:
“The matter of the Blood Cicada has to be resolved as soon as possible.
“Otherwise, even if we leave the capital, we won’t have any peace.
“I have a plan ……
“Do you want to hear it?”
“Say it!”
The eldest princess glared at him:
“There’s a plan you didn’t say earlier?”
“I had to at least make sure that you were really worth trusting.”
“…… Then do you think that the current Palace is worth trusting?”
“Barely.”
Jiang Ran gently patted the eldest princess’s shoulder:
“You still need to keep working hard!”
“……”
The Eldest Princess gritted her teeth, her hallowed Eldest Princess, she still had to continue to work hard in order to gain the trust of others?
When really, it was a great face.
Unfortunately, after clenching her teeth for half a day, she only dared to be angry.
Without good humor, she glared at Jiang Ran:
“Less stalling, you quickly say it!”
“Attach your ear over.”
Jiang Ran beckoned to her.
The Eldest Princess hesitated for a moment, then came over:
“This place was originally quite secretive, but also attach your ear over ……”
“Hidden my ass.”
Jiang Ran rolled his eyes:
“If it’s hidden, where did the poison on this box come from?
“That Kou Xun is an expert, I performed the Subterranean Shadow Misty God Steps, and even though I wasn’t seen through by him, I was still detected by him.
“With such an expert in attendance, how many people under the sky do you think can come here unnoticed?
“Either …… the person who came is really too high in martial arts.
“Either ……”
“This Kou Xun has a problem!”
The eldest princess instantly understood Jiang Ran’s meaning.
She hadn’t thought of it in the past, not because she was too stupid, but because she had no cognizance of Kou Xun’s martial arts.
To be able to be called an expert by Jiang Ran, that was naturally an expert among experts.
Immediately, she took a deep breath:
“The Golden Cicada Dynasty is like a sieve nowadays, broken and leaky …… You quickly say it, what exactly is the plan?”
Jiang Ran then spoke in the ears of the Eldest Princess, so and so, so and so.
At the beginning, the eldest princess still felt the hot air when Jiang Ran spoke, spraying on her ears, making her ears itchy, and she couldn’t help but be a bit apathetic.
Especially just now was Jiang Ran imposed some ‘torture’, this is more like a deer in the headlights.
But as he listened, he gradually held his breath.
From time to time, he frowned tightly, and from time to time, he came to a sudden realization.
At the end of the day, it was a face full of gravity.
She glanced at Jiang Ran:
“This move is a bit treacherous …… Moreover, it is extremely unfavorable to your reputation.
“I can’t bear to ask you to endure humiliation like this.”
“Oh?”
Jiang Ran smiled and glanced at the Elder Princess:
“Do you think that I’m really a person who cherishes his reputation?”
“Which of those who walk the rivers and lakes can not cherish their feathers?”
The Eldest Princess took a deep breath:
“But …… if let you bear this kind of injustice ……
“I this heart, really not a taste.”
“There is no harm, what should come will eventually come, rather than this kind of involvement, entanglement. It might as well be a pain in the ass……. However, in this tangle, one must use all one’s strength, otherwise, it won’t be like that.”
Jiang Ran said here, and took out the other letters in that dark compartment.
One by one, they were opened and examined.
Apart from this most important one in the box, the others also had letters written by this ‘Black’.
The letters were undated.
Jiang Ran read them page by page, and from between the lines, he felt that this person had been in contact with the Golden Cicada Dynasty for at least three years.
It was just that both sides had never mentioned each other’s goals in their correspondence, except for the exchange of information.
This was mostly because each other’s goals were the same, and therefore unspoken.
And what was the main purpose of that incident back then, Jiang Ran also understood.
It was just that nowadays, it seemed that there were people in the Demon Sect who also wanted to get that thing.
For this reason, they did not hesitate to conspire with the imperial court.
Jiang Tianye waging the Battle of the Five Kingdoms might not just be because of his person’s wild personality.
At the same time, it may also be because, this is to fall into a huge conspiracy, being led by the nose, into the desperate road.
After Jiang Ran had finished reading all these contents once, he said to the Princess:
“Is there anything else?”
“No more.”
The Eldest Princess shook her head, but added:
“But we’ll be able to look around here as well.”
Jiang Ran was armed with the Seven Dexterous Heavenly Craftsmen, and was indeed more skilled in this area.
Immediately, he also joined the Eldest Princess and searched around in this treasure trove.
Some things were indeed found.
For example, a certain princess and a foreign minister’s son secret letters.
There was also the affair between a certain concubine and a eunuch in the harem.
What’s more, there is the Golden Cicada a long time ago has been in the royal tomb in the long sleep of the king, once the collection of the canonical version of the Erotic Palace diagrams ……
In short, the messy private things found a lot.
But about that thing back then, but no other clues.
Seeing this, the two didn’t continue to delay here, so they directly went out of the secret vault.
Seeing the eldest princess come out, Kou Xun immediately came all the way to the eldest princess again, saddled up in front of the horse.
It was just a feeling that the way the Eldest Princess was walking, it didn’t seem too natural.
Kou Xun had seen this situation many times.
Under the hands of someone who disobeyed orders, or did not do a good job, received a plate, most of them are walking like this.
Just the thought of the Rapunzel getting a board in the middle of a secret vault where no one is …… Kou Xun feels that he is mostly crazy.
This is simply impossible ah!
Not to mention the fact that no one was in the secret vault, even if there was someone, who would dare to beat the Eldest Princess?
Honestly sent the Eldest Princess to the car and carriage, Kou Xun only then breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning back again, the smile on his face had already disappeared cleanly.
“Arriving twice in a row ……
“Could it really be for ……”
As he thought of this, he looked again at the direction in which the eldest princess had left:
“But, it seems like nothing happened ……”
With a thought in his mind, he accelerated his steps towards the secret vault.
……
……
“Kou Xun does have a problem, but this matter will just be dealt with afterward.”
The eldest princess had been sitting upright when Jiang Ran’s voice suddenly came to her ears.
Immediately, she turned around and saw that Jiang Ran was sitting right beside her.
After freezing for a moment, she nodded:
“Alright.
“Are there any other places to go next?”
Jiang Ran shook his head slightly:
“Go straight back to the Princess’ Mansion.”
“Good.”
The car drove all the way straight to the Princess Mansion without any twists and turns along the way.
Only just arriving at the Princess Mansion’s gate, he realized that there were already a group of uninvited guests on this side of the Princess Mansion.
Someone soon came over to report that the ones who came to the Princess’ Mansion were the magistrates from the government offices.
It seemed to be a repeat of the past, as they declared that their purpose of coming here was still because of Jiang Ran.
There was a murder last night.
The one who died wasn’t some dignitary, nor was it a good Jianghu fighter.
Rather, it was the daughter of an ordinary people s family …… who died a miserable death, and was obviously tortured before dying.
Her parents were early to discover this matter.
Now the mother of the deceased is already crazy, some can not withstand this huge blow.
The father of the deceased went to the government office to beat the drums to air his grievances.
The spearhead pointed directly at Jiang Ran!
The reason for this was because the father of the deceased claimed that he and his wife had seen Jiang Ran come out of their daughter’s room with their own eyes.
After seeing them, he directly leapt in the air and disappeared without a trace.
After hearing these words, the eldest princess then glanced at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran let out a light laugh:
“This is the beginning …… Next, it’s up to you.”
“Good.”
The Eldest Princess took a deep breath:
“Leave it to me……. However, those people around you, you still have to appease them.
“Otherwise, I’m afraid that this little princess residence of mine will have to be razed to the ground in less than two days’ work.”
Jiang Ran laughed dumbly:
“Alright, I will make preparations before I leave.”
After what needed to be said was said, the two got off the carriage.
They came directly inside the princess’s residence.
First, he had the eldest princess go to the front hall to meet someone, while Jiang Ran went to the academy.
He found Tang Shixiang and Ye Jingshuang and explained some things.
Tang Shixiang had been quietly listening, and when she had waited to hear Jiang Ran finish, she then nodded:
“Don’t worry, just leave it to me.”
“With you presiding here, I’m naturally relieved.”
Jiang Ran smiled.
Ye Shockfang, on the other hand, was frowning:
“Does it have to be like this?”
“This is the most convenient method.”
Jiang Ran smiled at her:
“Don’t worry, I have an unusual status in the eyes of many people nowadays, and will be treated with courtesy wherever I go.
“In comparison, I’m more worried about your situation ……
“Therefore, do not take matters into your own hands without my permission.”
“Uh-huh.”
Ye Shockfang heard him say this and had no choice but to nod.
After explaining what should be explained, Jiang Ran arrived at the meeting place of the princess’s residence.
I don’t know if it was because the last incident was too big, but the one who made this trip was no longer an ordinary magistrate.
The prefect personally came to the door.
After seeing Jiang Ran, he didn’t make a big deal out of it and directly stood up and bowed:
“Old man Dong Baihe, I’ve met young warrior Jiang.”
“Lord Dong is polite, Jiang Mou is just a white man, I can’t take such a big salute from you.”
Jiang Ran reached out his hand from afar, and Dong Baihe couldn’t help but straighten his waist.
Dong Baihe, as the governor of the capital, is naturally knowledgeable, and Jiang Ran is even more famous, and now see him so waved his hand, the force is actually able to act on their own bodies, but also the heart of the heart is flabbergasted.
Immediately laughed:
“Young warrior Jiang is extraordinary, it’s only right for me to be polite.
“Just now, my humble servant has also explained to the Princess.
“This case is full of suspicions, among them there are many cover-ups.
“Therefore, we can not conclude that this matter is the work of Jiang warrior.
“But since some people are beating the drums to call for justice, I can’t ignore it.
“That’s why I came to the door, hoping to ask Jiang warrior to go to the government office, cooperate with the investigation of this matter.
“When the truth is revealed, I will personally apologize.”
“Lord Dong is serious.”
Jiang Ran said:
“Jiang Mou acted rightly and sat upright, there are petty people posing as murderers, I think it’s difficult to completely hide the truth from the world.
“With Lord Dong enforcing the law impartially, and with the eldest princess running around for me, it is expected that the truth will soon be revealed.”
“That’s right.”
The Eldest Princess said softly from the side:
“This matter must be investigated properly.
“But Lord Dong …… when did this palace say that you can take him away from me this Princess House?”
Dong Baihe immediately gave a dry laugh:
“This …… Rapunzel, the people’s voice, the next official is also difficult ah.”
“So what?”
The Eldest Princess said with a dark face:
“Ordinary people do not know the insidiousness of the jianghu, not to mention the means of the jianghu, only think that seeing is believing and hearing is false.
“But they don’t realize how many methods of concealment there are in this world that can make people change their faces.
“What’s more, how many of these do not know the reasoning, just follow along with the coaxing ……
“Lord Dong, you have to be clear-sighted.”
“Yes yes yes.”
Dong Baihe hurriedly nodded his head:
“Of course my humble servant understands.”
Although he was saying this, sweat was hidden on his brain.
Jiang Ran realized that it was only at this point that he saw the extraordinary power of the Princess.
Immediately a smile and said:
“Well well well, you also do not want to make things difficult for Lord Dong.
“He is just following the statute, there is no excuse.
“People have come, I will follow a trip is ……
“You will then go directly to the palace to see the saint, so that the saint will urge them to enforce the law impartially.
“I think there won’t be too many mistakes.”
“……”
The Eldest Princess glanced at Jiang Ran, her anger subsiding slightly, and turned to Dong Baihe:
“Then you must investigate properly.”
This sentence was almost word for word.
The meaning of it was hard to tell.
Dong Baihe could only nod repeatedly:
“Yes, my humble servant will certainly investigate properly, and will never wrongly accuse Swordsman Jiang.”
The Princess nodded gently and glanced at Jiang Ran:
“Then you go, don’t worry, nothing will happen.”
“I naturally won’t worry.”
Jiang Ran smiled and said to Dong Baihe:
“Lord Dong, please.”
“Please.”
Lord Dong hurriedly reached out his hand as a guide, leading Jiang Ran outside.
He was afraid that if he was one step late, the eldest princess would change her mind.
The two of them made it all the way to the door, and the soft sedan chair had long been prepared on this side as well.
With a ‘sedan chair’, a group of people will go straight to the capital government office.
This side of the deceased’s parents are still waiting here, the old couple are looking for death.
They had been childless for half their lives, and were approaching middle age, which gave them an only daughter.
A few days ago just said good family, are starting to prepare the wedding clothes.
As a result, they encountered this kind of thing.
After Jiang Ran arrived at the government office, he sat in the back hall and listened to the rumor.
In the middle of the government office, the sound of ascending to the hall resounded.
The shouts of ‘mighty’ also reached Jiang Ran’s ears.
He picked up a cup of tea and listened to Dong Baihe ask the whole story again, while the husband of the old couple, with a sobbing voice, told the story again.
In the middle of it, Jiang Ran could still hear the voice of the dead man’s mother.
She sometimes cried, sometimes laughing, more sometimes full of doubt, asking his partner where he was. Said Nizi are about to get married, do not go home to prepare her dowry, ran here to do what?
The more Jiang Ran listened, the more his face sank like water.
The cup in his hand was vaguely cracked.
And when Dong Baihe said that Jiang Ran was summoned to the court, a magistrate came over to invite him.
Jiang Ran stood up, and after turning around twice with that government servant, he arrived at the main door of the hall, and just as he was about to step inside, he saw a plainly dressed old couple, looking back at him at the same time.
The old woman’s eyes, in a split second, went from confused, to horrified.
Hurrying to look around, she seemed to be searching for something.
After searching around the room, she didn’t seem to find the person she was looking for, and only then did she fall into a sitting position with empty eyes.
The old man, on the other hand, had bloodshot eyes, and hated that he could not use his eyes to eat Jiang Ran alive in his stomach.
Gritting his teeth, he said:
“It’s him!
“It’s him !!!!
“Even if he is, even if he is burnt to ashes, I will never recognize him!
“Early this morning, it was he who came out of my neice’s room ……
“He, he …… he has harmed my daughter ah!
“I …… I ……”
The old man said, then want to go to grab a side of the yamen in the hands of the water and fire stick, want to fight with Jiang Ran.
How could the magistrate let him succeed?
He swept his eyes angrily:
“How dare you!!!”
After all, they were ordinary people, and when they were overwhelmed by anger, they might do something irrational.
Being shouted at like this, he instantly came to his senses.
Not daring to grab again, but also anxiously jumping in place.
Dong Baihe quickly slapped the wood.
Only then did that old man forcefully suppress his anger, but those eyes, still hated that he couldn’t pluck out all the flesh and blood from Jiang Ran’s body.
Jiang Ran looked at him, but sighed.
Did not say anything to him …… this moment, say anything is not good.
He then came to the hall and bowed to this Dong Baihe:
“Jiang Ran has met Lord Prefect.”
“Good.”
Dong Baihe nodded, glanced at Jiang Ran and said:
“Do you know why you were summoned to the hall today?”
“……”
This is nonsense ah?
Jiang Ran sighed:
“Know.”
Dong Baihe was still planning to read from the book, and when Jiang Ran said he didn’t know, he told him who sued you, what happened, and how ……
As a result, Jiang Ran’s one know directly caused him to get stuck on the words.
After struggling for a long time, he simply went straight to the point:
“Where were you this morning around c.m.?”
Jiang Ran thought carefully for a moment and said:
“Tianjing Street.”
“Ah?”
Dong Baihe froze: “Where on Tianjing Street?”
“In front of the Luang Huan Bookstore.”
Jiang Ran answered honestly again.
Dong Baihe immediately felt his brain buzzing …… Luang Huan Book Workshop was razed to the ground last night.
After half a day, the person responsible for this was right in front of his eyes ah.
Immediately, his face was dark, not waiting to open his mouth, he heard the old man angrily said:
“Nonsense …… you were then, you were clearly outside the door of my niece s room.
“Where was in what patio street?”
Jiang Ran looked back at this old man and gently shook his head:
“Uncle, do you know what it means to say that what the eyes see may not be true?”
“You …… are trying to say that I have wronged you? I tell you …… old man I have not read a few days, but I can guarantee with my life that I have never lied in my life.
“If I say half a lie today above this hall, I I, I heaven strike thunder!!!”
As the old man spoke, he saw Jiang Ran suddenly reach out and cover his face with his sleeve.
Immediately after shaking his hand, the sleeve was removed, and when he looked at Jiang Ran’s face again, the old man was almost scared to death.
The original handsome young man, that face, had even become the same as his own!
