Chapter 31.
At this instant, Jiang Ran couldn’t even help but suck in a breath of cold air.
He couldn’t help but open his mouth:
“This is impossible!!!”
How is this possible?
A group of people came out of thin air and occupied such a large base in this Cangzhou Prefecture.
And yet, they have no place to come from at all?
Then how did they live here so peacefully?
No matter what, there must be a process of integration.
But …… now according to Liu master of this argument, this gang of people is so out of nowhere, and who will recognize it as a matter of course.
Is this …… this not seeing a ghost? Could it be that this family is some kind of demon ghosts and gods?
Master Liu’s face was also full of disbelief.
But in the face of Jiang Ran’s words, he could only let out a bitter smile:
“This …… this …… hey, Young Master Jiang, truth be told, I nowadays this heart, is also in chaos ……
“What the hell is going on here?”
Jiang Ran originally intended to come over to find an understanding person to ask.
Now it’s good that the understander can’t understand.
Two people wide-eyed, you look at me, I look at you, each confused.
In the end, Jiang Ran took the lead to break the silence.
“Master Liu, there is another unkind request on my side.”
“Young warrior Jiang, but there’s no harm in saying it.”
Master Liu hurriedly opened his mouth.
Jiang Ran then described the old drunkard’s appearance and didn’t say that he was his own master, but only said:
“I came to the Cangzhou Prefecture firstly for the matter of that Dao Zhen and Zhang Dongxuan, and secondly to look for this person.
“Only I am a person counting short, and is the first to come, the sea of people is really nowhere to start.
“That’s why I am brazenly begging for permission to ask Master Liu to help out a bit.”
“This matter is good to say.”
Master Liu nodded: “I’ll have the constable go and ask around in a moment, I guess there will be news soon.”
“Then I’ll thank Master Liu, this favor, Jiang Ran won’t forget it.”
Jiang Ran cupped his fists and arched his hands.
In fact, this matter, he originally did not intend to fake it.
But now that the Tang family’s origins were unpredictable and their purpose unknown, Jiang Ran was really starting to worry about the old drunkard’s life and death safety.
“Don’t dare.”
Master Liu shook his head, then asked:
“Regarding the Tang Family, is there anything else that Young Master Jiang knows?”
“Nope. ……”
Jiang Ran scratched his head:
“I’ve only had a one-sided relationship with them yesterday, so what can I know ……”
“That’s true.”
Master Liu nodded.
After that, the two of them would casually chat about a few things.
Jiang Ran also kept his mouth shut about the Tang family, as if it was just a casual visit that resulted in the discovery of the Tang family’s oddities, which was why he came to the government office to let them know.
The old drunkard had lived his whole life on the eight words ‘eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and cheating’.
Jiang Ran is also the ear, although Jiang Ran is not willing to learn this thing, but after all, it is the ears and eyes, at this time pretending up, anyone can not see the slightest crack.
Later on, Jiang Ran raised the intention to go to see the case files of wanted criminals.
Master Liu naturally agreed, immediately led Jiang Ran out of the door, turned around and came to another room.
Within this room, all are bookshelves, divided into categories, arranged according to the year and month.
Jiang Ran looked at these case files, his heart immediately comforted a lot.
It only felt that where is this what dossier ah …… this is the Dan formula!
Master Liu gave a few instructions to Jiang Ran and told him that he could look at it here, and the case files could not be taken away.
But the sea arrest documents can be …… However, before taking away, need to know the meeting, let someone draw another one.
Jiang Ran full answer, then casually draw a copy, sitting at the table to open.
Master Liu saw that he was fine, then turned and left the door.
After casually bringing the door to the room with him, he jogged all the way to the backyard.
He came to the front of the previous courtyard and knocked on the door:
“My lord …… subordinate has something to report.”
“Come in.”
A thick voice came from the courtyard.
Master Liu hurriedly opened the courtyard door, and heard the sound of whistling.
Once he looked up, he saw their family’s frail and sickly adult, this will be throwing two large stone locks just like an embroidery ball.
This threw out, casually borrowed another one, a throw hand and throw, and catch the previous one.
Lifting the weight like a lightweight, it looked skillful to the extreme.
While casually throwing the stone locks, he said:
“If you have something to say, say it, if you have a fart, let it go.”
Master Liu didn’t dare to go forward, afraid that this stone lock would fall and hit his head again.
This one is less than a hundred pounds, fell to his head body, not dead is also seriously injured.
Then far from what Jiang Ran said, about the Tang family things said again.
“Oh?”
After the frail and sickly adult heard this, his face became more than a little stunned.
Casually catching a stone lock in his hand, he threw it to the side:
“Surprisingly, there is such a thing?”
“I’ve already asked the magistrate to probe, I think there will be a reply soon.”
“En.”
That lord pondered slightly:
“In fact, there is no need to explore …… Jiang Ran has no reason to lie to deceive you and me.
“The Tang family is only afraid that really has been empty.
“This kind of behavior …… how let me have a few familiar feelings.”
“What did your lordship think of?”
Master Liu hurriedly asked.
That adult pondered for a moment, did not open his mouth, just shook his head and smiled:
“It’s fine, the big event is imminent, put some small things aside first.
“Go down.”
That adult gently waved his hand.
Although Master Liu felt that this didn’t seem like a small matter, he still agreed and bowed to leave.
Only after Master Liu left did that lord’s face become slightly grave.
“The fact that the first tax silver was sent ten years ago means that they have been here for at least ten years.
“Ten years ……”
He shook his head and entered the study within the house, lifting his pen and dipping it in ink, he wrote down a few words, rolled them up and stuffed them within a bamboo tube.
From the birdcage on the side, he took out a white dove, and tied the bamboo tube to the feet of the dove.
With a shake of the hand, the dove immediately flew into the sky.
……
……
Jiang Ran stayed within the government office until the evening.
During this afternoon, he had read a lot of case files and memorized a lot of wanted criminals in his mind.
He thought that if he met them on the road in the future, he wouldn’t have to be unrecognizable.
And this afternoon read down, Jiang Ran also found a problem.
On the sea arrest paperwork, there are often some differences, some of the above is written, captured alive, some are written dead or alive.
He looked for Dao Zhen’s and Zhang Dongxuan’s, and found that on their sea arrest papers, they both had the words, ‘dead or alive’.
This gave Jiang Ran some clarity in his mind as to the reason why he was able to complete his mission by just carrying his head to the government office.
I am afraid that it is precisely because of this …… If it is a different one that is captured alive and captured alive, and he or she cuts off his or her head, then most likely the task will not be completed.
“Rather can’t, see the wanted man cut ah.”
The constable who was sent by Master Liu to find out the whereabouts of the old drunkard did not have any news to come back for the time being.
Jiang Ran had left the government office and agreed with him that if there was any news, he would send someone to find Jiang Ran.
Before there is no news on this matter, Jiang Ran can’t leave this Cangzhou government.
The Tang family is empty, tonight it is impossible to land there, he walked with the intention of finding an inn to stay.
After traveling a short distance, he saw an open door of an inn.
Jiang Ran wasn’t picky and walked straight in.
As a result, he saw that the hall was overcrowded, a group of jianghu people with weapons, three to five groups, yelling and drinking, big bowls of wine, big chunks of meat.
Know this is an inn, do not know thought this is the mountain of the gathering hall it.
Jiang Ran backpack carrying a knife, just entered the door, this group of people will brush their eyes fell on his body.
