Chapter 107.

The small river gurgled and the forest was filled with birds and flowers.

The fragrance of the Questioning Fragrance Forest came with the wind and refreshed the heart, it was indeed a good place to refresh one’s mind.

Jiang Ran sat on a stool and let Ye Shockfang lean against his shoulder.

Gazing at the river, his heart was more than a little puzzled.

I’m afraid that this old man’s identity was not an unusual figure even amongst the Devil Sect.

Such a character, personally coming just to send a token to the Youngest Manor Master?

This was impossible ……

Yet what his real purpose was, he didn’t say.

But Jiang Ran always had an odd feeling that he seemed to have come for himself?

The thought was a bit self-serving, but the possibility existed.

Just whether this reason is because of the old drunkard, or because of himself …… that is hard to say.

Moreover, what was the meaning of his last sentence?

“Don’t let down a piece of bitter heart torment?

“Whose bitter heart? How is it tormented?”

Jiang Ran stretched out his hand and suddenly remembered that there was still an important question he hadn’t asked.

Was the fact that the Blood Cauldron Sutra was useless to him related to Tang Shixiang?

After thinking for a moment, but then shook his head:

“I guess he won’t say it even if I ask ……”

And the biggest gain of this trip was nothing more than the news of this old drunkard.

The old drunkard is now in the Jin Yang Province ……

Rather, it reminded Jiang Ran of Tong Wanli’s words.

He said that Abandon Heavenly Moon was also in the Jin Yang Province now.

The Heavenly Que and the Devil Sect were not dealing with each other.

At least, judging from the current situation, that was indeed the case.

Outside the Cangzhou Prefecture, the people of the Devil Cult had killed all of Heavenly Que’s Cloud Division experts.

After Heavenly Que’s people arrived at the Cangzhou Prefecture, it seemed that they were also wary of the Tang Clan and the Devil Cult.

Therefore, they didn’t dare to make a big deal out of it.

Knowing full well that what they were going to do, Tong Wanli would be a hindrance.

Nor did they directly kill him, but instead made a detour and shifted Tong Wanli’s position.

Was this to avoid being discovered by the Tang family?

Although up to this point this was all just a guess, it might not be unreasonable.

If these two came true, considering the old drunkard’s inextricable relationship with the demonic sect.

It suddenly made sense that he would go to the Jin Yang Mansion.

“Could it be that they’re going to join together in one place and fight to the death with the Heavenly Que?”

After Jiang Ran’s heart was flooded with such speculation, he let out a soft breath and pondered:

“It seems like the Jin Yang Mansion can’t be avoided ……

“Not to mention the old drunkard’s whereabouts, just the fact that Abandon Heavenly Moon is in the Jinyang Mansion, I have to make a trip.

“Forty thousand taels of gold!

“Maybe if I behead one of him, I’ll be able to live for a few more years ……”

Just as he thought of this, his shoulder moved slightly, it was Ye Jingshuang who woke up.

Jiang Ran had just examined her and found that she had simply passed out.

She had been mentally exhausted for the past two days, so she took this opportunity to get a good night’s sleep, so she didn’t use the Zheng Xin Finger to forcibly wake her up.

Ye Alarming Frost, on the other hand, gently shook her head, and after coming back to her senses, she looked up at Jiang Ran, slightly stunned:

“Big brother Jiang …… me this?”

After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Ran to answer, he had hastily looked around:

“Where’s that remaining member of the demonic sect?”

“Gone.”

Jiang Ran frowned slightly, “In an odd to the extreme way, it directly disappeared in front of me.”

Hearing this, Ye Shockfang sighed in relief:

“It’s good that it’s gone. ……”

After glancing at Jiang Ran and realizing that he didn’t look too good, he softly consoled him:

“The Devil Cult’s methods have always been treacherous, not leaving him behind is not your problem, it’s just that their ability to do so is always elusive.”

Jiang Ran smiled at his words:

“Indeed, at that time, the Tang family was overnight, disappeared.

“Today this old man, but also in front of me, as if the feather dissipated ……

“If there is no immortal Buddha in this world, it is a miraculous skill that is difficult to speculate.

“Back can ask Li Tianxin.”

I can’t break it mostly because I don’t know enough.

Li Tianxin’s origin was unpredictable, and his understanding of the Demon Sect was extremely profound, so maybe he would know something.

Ye Jingshang nodded, but suddenly froze:

“Tang family?”

Only then did she remember that Jiang Ran had parted ways with her at that time, precisely in order to head to the Tang family to save his master.

At that time, she had thought that the Tang family could not defeat Jiang Ran, and she was afraid that she had already rescued his master when she met him again.

Then also did not ask …… now listen to Jiang Ran so say, only to know that there are twists and turns!

Hearing Jiang Ran’s words, the Tang family is also the remnants of the devil’s religion?

Jiang Ran didn’t hide it, so he said so and so about his trip to the Tang family.

In addition to the Nine Deaths Jedi Vein, everything else, even the matter of Tang Shixiang, also said everything.

Ye Shockfang heard several color changes, and finally, his brows tightly locked, suppressing the dissimilarity in his heart, he spoke in a deep voice:

“This seems, unreasonable.

“You said that Officer Tang had already waited for you outside the mansion a long time ago, that is, he knew that you were coming.

“Moreover, he said that you are his son-in-law …… and have your master to mediate from it.

“On this point, it may not be false.

“Then what Tang Shixi love did that night is not superfluous?

“Parent’s order, matchmaker’s words, this marriage is finalized, sooner or later there will be that day, why be so impatient?”

“You forgot, I’m not willing ah.”

Jiang Ran laughed dumbly: “Inexplicably who is willing to accept this affinity?”

The corner of Ye Jingshang’s mouth subconsciously hooked at his words, and he nodded:

“That’s true, if my father had promised me a marriage without my consent, I would also be unwilling.

“However, Big Brother Jiang …… I still feel that this approach of the Tang family seems unreasonable.

“Even if you are unwilling, each other has not torn the face.

“And from these circumstances of them originally being a son-in-law and your master, it seems as if they intend to stay in contact with you for a while longer.

“Letting you stay in the Tang family so that they can tell Tang Shiyi to fall in love with you over time.

“Before there’s a real falling out, it’s still extremely likely that this will happen.

“After all, you’re a man with strong blood, and Tang Shixie was born absolutely beautiful.

“When you get along, you’ll inevitably develop feelings for each other.

“Furthermore, it’s not like they’re doing it for the sake of picking up yang and replenishing yin, or else there’s no need for such a big detour.

“How come they suddenly rushed in that night?”

Speaking here, she paused and glanced at Jiang Ran:

“Moreover, can you be sure that you guys really …… really ……”

Speaking here, she was a bit unable to continue, gently biting her lips:

“It’s …… you know what I’m going to say.”

“I don’t know.”

Jiang Ran saw her blush, and couldn’t help but start teasing, “What are you going to say?”

Ye Shockfang’s face burned with shame, feeling that Jiang Ran was usually so smart, how could this suddenly become stupid?

Raising her eyebrows, she saw Jiang Ran’s eyes teasing, which made her realize how bad this person’s mind was.

Could not help but pinch Jiang Ran’s arm:

“You …… Jiang big brother, if you’re like this, I’m not going to ignore you ah.”

Jiang Ran dumbly laughed, feeling that this joke is indeed a bit out of proportion.

People a girl, forcibly endure the blush with their own business, how can this molestation?

At that moment, he coughed and said:

“In fact, I do not know.

“At that time, it gave me the feeling as if something had happened.

“But now looking back, that night maybe nothing happened ……”

“If the former is a good explanation.”

Ye Shocking Frost would have let go this time:

“She is just figure your body.

“But if it’s the latter, it’s even harder to explain.

“Moreover, even if it’s the former …… Brother Jiang, do you think, why would she figure the body of someone she’s never met before?”

“This ……”

Jiang Ran touched his face.

This face of his was indeed a good-looking one.

It had a good skin, but to say that it was truly handsome that there was none in the sky and only one in the ground, that wasn’t even close.

Tang Shixiang’s appearance, but really beautiful indescribable.

What kind of man does such a woman want?

Why go through all this trouble for yourself?

At the end he gently nodded his head:

“So, you think that night, we actually didn’t have anything happen?”

“No, I think something must have happened, just maybe not that kind of thing.”

Ye Shockfang said, “But I’m afraid the specifics …… will have to be known after finding Tang Shixiang, or Tang’s family.”

Jiang Ran was silent for a moment and nodded:

“In that case, then let’s find it.

“I’m planning to make a trip to the Jinyang Mansion on this trip, do you want to go with me?”

“Jin Yang Mansion?”

Ye Jingshang nodded, “This is naturally good, I have said that from now on, wherever you go, I will follow you around to take care of you, so naturally, I will go with you.”

“En, before that, first go back to your house.

“And also settle down your aunt and cousin.”

Jiang Ran thought as he stood up:

“After I take care of those heads I brought back from the Valley of the Living World, let’s get moving.”

“Good.”

Ye Jingshang nodded, only when she looked in the direction of the Ye family again, her eyes had a few more colors of sadness in them.

With no words remaining, the two people turned back the same way.

After entering Penma County, just before reaching the entrance of the inn, they saw a crate placed in front of the door.

Above the cloth, but can be seen, there are blood stains penetration, a group of people are standing at the edge, pointing at this car.

Obviously for the things contained inside, incomparable curiosity.

It was just that no one dared to go forward and make a move, because a group of gangsters who were not to be messed with at first glance were surrounding the area, blocking anyone who wanted to go forward.

Jiang Ran’s face darkened as he glanced up in the direction of the inn.

He saw a silhouette rushing out from the lobby.

“Swordsman Jiang, you’re back?”

The one who spoke was Master Ma, who had jogged all the way, the large beard on his face flying in the wind.

After arriving in front of Jiang Ran, he even saluted repeatedly.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but glance at Ye Jingshuang.

Jiang Ran then introduced Ye Jingshuang:

“This is Master Ma.

“I heard that in Penma County, you can not know the county magistrate’s name, but you cannot not recognize Master Ma.”

Ye Jingshuang sniffed indistinctly and immediately clasped his fists:

“Greetings, Master Ma.”

Master Ma hurriedly waved his hand:

“Dare not, dare not, I’m flattered.

“Call me Little Horse, Old Horse is fine.”

Ye Shockfang glanced at Jiang Ran with an odd expression, this local snakes were actually the worst to deal with.

Not only did they have some ability of their own, but most importantly, they were often inextricably linked to the local area.

Yet he didn’t know how Jiang Ran managed to do it and clean this person up so convincingly.

Master Ma then continued:

“Knight warrior they have also come back, originally said to live in my place, and then that sickly kid …… is not, it is that senior who wants to rest in the inn, we will send them.

“To say, this time the opponent seems to be very extraordinary.

“Knight warrior came back full of woe, all mud ah.”

That was mostly because of the rain and slippery roads, and he fell while pushing the crate, right?

Jiang Ran smiled, “The opponent this time is indeed not weak, don’t worry, this matter has nothing to do with you anymore.”

As he said that, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and threw it to Master Ma with a flip of his hand:

“What’s inside, you and those brothers of yours, one capsule each.

“Do not be greedy for more, otherwise even I cannot save you.”

Master Ma sniffed and hurriedly clutched the bottle in his hand, as if he had clutched his lifeblood.

After opening the peephole, four pills are being placed inside, one is not much, one is not less.

Heart said this how to greed more?

But also did not dare to open his mouth to spit, just a thousand thanks.

Jiang Ran waved his hand:

“Okay, do what you need to do, I’ll go to the county office again.”

Master Ma hurriedly ordered his men to help push the cart.

Jiang Ran was reluctant to do so, but he couldn’t resist Master Ma’s enthusiasm, so he agreed.

But before he got to the county office, he encountered a group of government officials.

It turns out that there are people in the end do not feel right, went to the court to report to the officials.

A group of magistrates came over to investigate the situation.

However, when they saw Jiang Ran, some of them recognized that this was the one who came to the county office earlier and was respectfully invited in by the magistrate.

Immediately did not dare to say much, just carefully inquired a couple of sentences, after knowing that Jiang Ran is going to the county court, then simply the current open road.

This scene is a bit marvelous.

The local snakes were escorting the car, and the magistrates were currently driving the road.

Both black and white were at his side, instantly giving Jiang Ran a big face.

Ye Jingshang was also crying and laughing, sometimes looking at Jiang Ran, see his face helpless feel funny.

In this way, a group of people came to the county office in the twinkling of an eye.

Master Ma said goodbye and left, the magistrates are curious to look at the plate car, several times want to lift to see, are forced to hold back.

In the end, Jiang Ran reached out and yanked the white cloth away.

A human head immediately looked at the presence of magistrates heart numb.

Jiang Ran took the knife catching order:

“Gentlemen, don’t panic, these are all wanted criminals.

“Please, gentlemen, help me take these heads in.”

A group of yamen looked at me, I looked at you, and then they looked at Jiang Ran differently.

The man was dressed in a somewhat flowery outfit, but his face was handsome and his temperament was extraordinary.

Only to give people the feeling, but also not that fierce.

How did he chop off so many heads at the drop of a hat?

Gathered together, a total of twelve heads.

Immediately found six people, a person carry two, lined up in the door.

Just halfway there, I saw Chang Nian had already welcomed out.

After seeing Jiang Ran, he immediately smiled:

“Young warrior Jiang, you’re not giving our county office a chance to live.”

“What makes you say that, Lord Chang?”

Jiang Ran blinked.

“This is too many heads, I only have a few dollars in this Penma County, won’t this all be emptied by you?”

“This ……”

Jiang Ran thought for a moment:

“Why don’t you open a note and I’ll go to Lord Guo for the money?”

“That’s not necessary!”

Chang Nian quickly waved his hand, how can there be a reason for an inferior officer to open a note for a superior officer to pay?

Immediately, he smiled and guided Jiang Ran inside.

Jiang Ran was still talking:

“I’m not joking with Your Excellency, you open a note for me, count it as a voucher.

“Let Lord Guo transfer silver from the Cangzhou Prefecture, so that you don’t tire yourself out in Penma County.”

“Young warrior Jiang has the heart.”

Chang Nian let out a bitter smile:

“I’m barely scraping by, when it’s also enough.

“Moreover, truth be told, Lord Guo will no longer be the prefect of Cangzhou Prefecture.”

“Oh?”

Jiang Ran froze:

“It’s only been a few days since he lost his official hat?”

“That’s not true.”

Chang Nian smiled and said, “I just realized today that Lord Guo came to Cangzhou Prefecture and actually had another purpose. Now that things are done, the saint has decreed for him to go to Kanglong Pass to serve as the Chief Soldier of Kanglong Pass.”

“I see.”

Jiang Ran suddenly realized, only to think about it and find it a bit funny:

“He is repeatedly jumping horizontally between civil and military officials, no one cares?”

“This …… subordinate official really do not know.”

Know also dare not talk nonsense.

He and Jiang Ran is not the same, he has an official body.

Jiang Ran is a man of the cloth, martial arts is strong, naturally, random nonsense.

But the perennial mouth is crooked, in case it reaches the ears of any lord, maybe this magistrate can’t even be a magistrate.

The two people walked and talked, and came within the hall in the twinkling of an eye.

Jiang Ran explained to Chang Nian the heads of these people, as well as the reward.

Some of the county magistrate’s case files can still be found in the sea arrest documents, but there are some can not be found.

However, Jiang Ran has a knife catching order in hand, no matter whether it can be found or not, nowadays this money has to be paid.

Even though Changnian was heartbroken, he waved his hand and let the magistrate go to fetch the money.

In the end, only the heads of that Dugu Yu and Yin Yue Niang were left where they were.

Jiang Ran was filled with difficulty:

“These two heads, I’ll take them away later.

“Their identities are not simple, I just don’t know exactly how much the bounty is, or even if there is any I’m not sure.”

Changnian smiled:

“I will be able to give Jiang young warrior to solve the confusion ……”

As he spoke, he took out a booklet from his bosom:

“This is what Dao …… Dao Nameless asked me to give you.”

“Dao Nameless?”

Jiang Ran skimmed his mouth, thinking that this couldn’t be another book of aphrodisiacs, right?

Glancing at Ye Jingshuang next to him, he carefully picked it up.

Casually turning it over, before he could read the contents clearly, a letter fell out.

The envelope was wordless, and after a slight contemplation, Jiang Ran opened the letter.

After reading it at a glance, he frowned slightly.

Re-picking up the booklet, after flipping it open, it was all densely packed with small words.

He searched on it for a while and finally found two names on the middle page.

”Yang Monarch” Dugu Yu, a reward of ten thousand taels of silver.

‘Moon Monarch’ Yin Yue Niang, rewarded with nine thousand taels of silver.

At the same time, two hints popped up in front of Jiang Ran.

After Jiang Ran casually accepted the quest, his fingers lightly tapped on the desktop.

This booklet was the Sword Execution Division’s ‘Wanted List’.

On it were listed the names of various experts that were not suitable to appear on the unusual sea arrest documents.

Just looking at this list, Jiang Ran’s heart suddenly flushed with something strange.

Are the people on this list really everyone’s to kill?

What if they didn’t deserve it, but had offended the powerful and wealthy, and were listed on it, wanting to be eradicated by the hands of the knife catchers?
