Chapter 358.

There was a Heavenly Prison in the capital.

Within the Heavenly Prison, there were always a lot of felons imprisoned.

However, the ordinary townspeople who have committed crimes are not allowed to enter here.

Here is the pipe pressure, either guilty of the royal relatives, or is the court above the important ministers.

And then …… are the masters of the jianghu.

After they were taken down by the knife catcher, some were sent to the capital, shut up in the prison within the strict custody, some waiting for beheading, some are another use.

After all, not every knife catcher and Jiang Ran the same, like to take the head of the reward.

Therefore, this heavenly prison within the imprisonment of the Jianghu masters, but also really quite a lot.

The entire heavenly prison was divided into two areas.

The upper layer is the royal relatives, the ministers of the court, the lower layer is all Jianghu experts.

Now the lower level of the heavenly prison, an airtight cell, is imprisoned a person.

This person’s pipa bone was locked, blood has long since dried up.

His hair was dazzling and vaguely white, and his lips were dry and cracked, but his eyes were flashing with refined light.

He was not bound by chains, and even though his pipa bone was pierced, he raised his arm and with difficulty peeled peanuts and brought them to his mouth.

Chewing with a clicking sound, he ate with flavor.

While eating, he looked at the fire pit not far away, lost in thought.

A creaking sound woke him up, and he glanced at the cell door with some surprise.

No one would easily open the cell door within the Heavenly Prison.

This was because everyone knew that the people imprisoned within were all experts.

Some people even felt that locking their pipa bones wasn’t enough, it would be best to chop off their arms and legs, so that they would completely lose the ability to move their hands, and only then would it be considered safe.

But then, the jailer would also be in trouble.

People who lost their hands and feet would easily die.

Not just festering wounds and dying of high fever.

Even if they get well, they can’t eat, and it’s more likely that they’ll seek a short life ……

But anyone who can be locked up here will be more or less useful, in case the upper head is hot, intending to find someone to do something, but the result is a look, good guy, hands and feet are gone.

Then this gang of jailers will have bad luck.

And on weekdays, this gang never opens this gate except to send some meals from under the iron gate.

Therefore, when the gate opened, the man who was imprisoned here had considered all sorts of possibilities.

However, when he saw the person who entered, he was still filled with dismay.

“How could it be you?”

His voice was dry and his doubts were enormous: “Jiang Ran?”

Jiang Ran casually put a jade cicada into his sleeve, casually closed the iron door, and scrutinized the person in front of him.

At the end, he gently shook his head:

“If it wasn’t for that jailer who told me three times that the person locked up here is called Dao Wu Ming ……

“I really can’t believe that you have fallen to such a state.

“I heard that you killed someone?”

On the letter sent by the Princess, it was written that after Dao Wu Ming returned to the capital, he suddenly and inexplicably killed the owner of a gambling house in a gambling house and killed a dozen or so gamblers who were gambling inside.

When he waited for the magistrate to arrive, he was sitting on the green stone in front of the gambling house reading Fang Zhi.

The letter said that he was reading it very carefully.

It was as if that was the last time, in his entire life, that he would look at Fang Zhi.

“That’s right.”

Dao Wu Ming slowly spoke:

“Kill.”

“Why kill?”

“In the heat of the moment, I did it with my own hands.”

Dao Wu Ming sneered:

“How?”

“You shouldn’t be such a person.”

Jiang Ran gently shook his head.

“Then in your opinion, what kind of person should old me be?”

Dao Wu Ming glanced at Jiang Ran with a smirk:

“Or perhaps, you think you know me well?”

“…… That’s true.”

Jiang Ran sighed:

“You and I have only met a few times between us.”

“It’s good to know.”

Dao Wu Ming gently shook his head:

“How did you get in?”

After a single question, he didn’t wait for Jiang Ran to answer:

“Forget it, no matter how you got in, you can leave now.

“The old man deserved his crime, now it’s just right to borrow this place to think about the past behind closed doors, so as not to make any mistakes in the future.

“Jiang Ran …… although you are not a small name in the jianghu, but you have to know that this is the capital.

“Under the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is no room for you, a jianghu martial artist, to be reckless.

“If you dare to go wild, even if you are a sword catcher on the roster of the Sword Enforcement Division, the Sword Enforcement Division will definitely let you off the hook!”

Jiang Ran was slightly silent, then shook his head:

“Dao brother’s words are rather incomprehensible to me.

“I have always obeyed the law, so where do I go to go wild?”

“Good.”

Dao Wu Ming nodded:

“That being the case, I only expect you to be careful with your words.

“I’m tired, you can go now.”

He lowered his head and took out another peanut from his sleeve.

Jiang Ran thought for a moment and said:

“This is my first time visiting a prison, but I don’t have much experience.

“I always thought that you would have no worries about food and drink while you were in this prison.

“So, I brought you some of your favorite things.”

“Hm?”

Dao Wuming looked up brightly, and saw Jiang Ran take out a pamphlet from his bosom and hand it to Dao Wuming.

Dao Wuming first glanced at the cover, more or less disappointed.

However, after Jiang Ran opened the first page, his eyes lit up:

“Not bad, not bad, this really is a proper Fangzhi.”

“Knowing that you like the Proper Fang Zhi, Dao Brother, I brought you a copy on this trip over.

“This book is actually good …… It was bought from the Luang Huan Bookstore on Tianjing Street.

“If you like it, I’ll come over next time and bring it back to you.”

“Hahahahaha!!!”

Dao Wu Ming laughed wildly:

“It’s just a person who will die, so there’s no need to look at it again.

“Moreover, you and I don’t seem to be very familiar with each other, much less guilty of making you spend money for me.

“You can go …… now.”

“Go go go.”

Jiang Ran turned around, pushed open the cell door, and saw two jailers standing right outside the door.

Seeing Jiang Ran come out, the two hastily bowed in greeting.

After all, they had come in with the eldest princess’s token, so it was obvious that they were the people beside the eldest princess.

Such a person, even if you can’t hold her leg, you definitely can’t offend her.

Therefore, as soon as Jiang Ran came out, the jailer had already nodded his head and came to the front:

“Are you alright, Your Excellency? The people in here are all up to no good, why do you need to come over personally when you are so delicate?

“How’s his attitude? If it’s bad, let’s see how I’ll treat him!”

“No need.”

Jiang Ran smiled:

“This person ah, but whenever one makes a wrong move, the person they knew in the past is considered dead. Those who stay here nowadays have let go of some things, and their temperament is different.

“This big brother, when we were outside, he and I were also considered acquaintances.

“If it is convenient, please take care of the two of you.”

While saying that, he took out two gold dollars from his bosom and gave one to each person.

The two people subconsciously were overjoyed, and someone had already taken it and even bit it with his teeth.

Then he thanked Jiang Ran repeatedly.

And said:

“Don’t worry, since it’s your friend, then we will definitely take good care of it.”

“That’s good.”

Jiang Ran nodded, then sighed:

“That being the case, I won’t say any more to the two of you, I’ll take my leave.”

“Alright, we’ll see you off.”

The two men hurriedly followed two steps behind, one leading the way in front and one following behind to remind him to watch his step.

Only after sending him out to the entrance of the Heavenly Prison did the two jailers return.

The street was bustling with people.

The smile on Jiang Ran’s face had already disappeared cleanly.

He slightly pondered over the words he had just spoken to Dao Wu Ming.

Although the two hadn’t exchanged much, these few words seemed to have a different meaning.

He said that he deserved to be punished for his crimes, and that he happened to be here behind closed doors to think about the past.

This meant, roughly, that Jiang Ran should think about his past dust, and that his being locked up here should be related to exactly that.

As for the past dust …… the two of them once had a conversation during the autumn resignation stage.

It was about the late emperor.

This, most likely, was the trigger.

Afterwards, he told himself not to be reckless ……

It was telling himself that he could not be vocal and needed to act cautiously.

Finally, he specifically mentioned the Sword Execution Division.

Then the key to the problem may be within the Sword Enforcement Division.

And what is the problem of the Sword Enforcement Division?

Since the words of the Princess were spoken today, many things have become clearer.

The Sword Execution Division was created by the Eldest Princess, but it was never possible for her to be in charge of such a Division all by herself.

Therefore, she initially pulled the Blood Cicada’s group of people together to make the framework of the Sword Enforcement Division.

Moreover, those people from the Blood Cicada were even at the top of the Sword Execution Division.

For example, Dao Wu Ming was a deacon within the Sword Execution Division.

Then what was the difference between the Sword Execution Division and the Blood Cicada?

I’m afraid that by now, the Princess, the so-called commander of the Sword Enforcement Division, has already lost the power to lead the Sword Enforcement Division, and there is someone else who is truly in control of the Sword Enforcement Division.

But …… looking at DaoWuMing’s encounter today, visible even if the sword division has been completely penetrated by the blood cicadas.

But back then those blood cicadas originated from, but may not be all blood cicadas in the people.

How can this be distinguished?

Moreover, did Dao Wuming know that he had ended up in this situation because the Blood Cicada had interfered?

Jiang Ran speculated in his mind while walking forward.

Looking up again, he was seeing a store.

There were four big words written on it …… Luang Huan Bookstore.

He was silent for a moment and didn’t step into it, but went all the way forward and soon had returned to the Princess’s Mansion.

After greeting the two guards in front of the door, he ascended the room.

He was about to make another trip to the academy when he saw a group of people coming towards him.

When he looked up, the leader was a man in his thirties.

His face was pale and he was coughing as he walked, wearing white fox fur, looking quite distinguished.

Followed by him was a boy with a sharp figure, who should have martial arts skills.

That gentleman’s face is very bad, not only because of the pale face, weak body, his eyebrows are hidden between a depressed gas, shall not be opened.

When Jiang Ran was looking at him, this person also saw Jiang Ran.

The whole person was suddenly fixed on the spot, as if he had been struck by lightning.

He stared blankly at Jiang Ran, his eyes so complex that it was as if he was able to film a set of seventy-eight episodes long television serial!

“You ……”

He slowly opened his mouth:

“It’s Jiang Ran?”

“Greetings, Mr. Yuwen.”

Jiang Ran smiled:

“Outside the capital, you and I had the fate to meet once.”

“Yes …… it was fate.”

Yuwen Ting took a deep breath, “It’s just a pity that this fate doesn’t call for joy.”

His words here a beat, fixedly looked at Jiang Ran:

“I heard that ……”

Said here, but was a meal.

Jiang Ran then asked:

“Heard what?”

“…… Nothing.”

Yu Wenting shook his head and led the people around him forward.

Jiang Ran took a slight step to the side.

Yu Wenting’s figure immediately lurched and looked at Jiang Ran:

“If I give in, can you return it to me?”

“Give back what?”

Jiang Ran smiled.

“……”

Yuwen Ting was silent.

Jiang Ran smiled:

“If a person doesn’t even dare to say what they want, then how can they get it?”

Yu Wenting froze, then lowered his head and hurriedly passed.

Instead, it was the boy who gave Jiang Ran a thoughtful look and returned a smile.

Jiang Ran, in turn, responded with a smile in return.

Hurriedly passing by each other, Jiang Ran gently shook his head, feeling that this Yuwen Ting gongzi, was really inexplicably awesome.

Anyone could tell that he liked the Elder Princess.

As for whether it was this person that he liked, or whether he liked the Rapunzel’s status and power that was unimportant.

What is important is that if you like it, you must at least tell her, and then work towards this direction.

But he is not …… he is here to dry watch and wait.

It is like the kind of hungry people, opening their mouths towards the sky, waiting for the pie to fall from the sky.

Thinking is really too beautiful.

But this kind of thing, Jiang Ran also does not intend to consider more.

After all, it didn’t have much to do with himself.

What means the Eldest Princess intends to use, that is her freedom, Jiang Ran also has his own purpose for coming to this capital.

Utilizing the Eldest Princess while being utilized by the Eldest Princess was also fair to the extreme.

Thinking of this, he was about to dive in, but suddenly his brows furrowed slightly.

With a casual grab, there was already an extra dart in his palm.

A letter hung above the dart.

“What is this?”

Jiang Ran glanced back and saw a dark shadow flying away.

With a point of his foot and a flash of the Indulgent Flowing Light Technique, he had already arrived behind the man in black.

The black-clothed man’s eyes sank, his figure twisted, and he struck out more than ten silver awns in succession.

However, Jiang Ran just swung his big sleeve, and all of them collapsed away, followed by a step forward, and a hand grabbed that person’s shoulder.

With a fling, the entire person was pressed into the corner by Jiang Ran.

Now both of them were no longer in this Princess’s Mansion, and were in the middle of the capital’s alleys.

“What person?”

Jiang Ran cocked his head and looked at this person in front of him.

He only felt that this person’s eyes, were very familiar.

“…… Why don’t you read the letter?”

There was a depressed tone in the voice of the visitor.

As soon as Jiang Ran heard this voice it suddenly dawned on him, and he couldn’t help but smile, letting go of his hand and taking a step back:

“After all, the person is right in front of me, why bother reading the letter?

“Well, what is written on this letter?”

He said, in front of the opposite person, he took down the letter on the dart, and after opening it, four big words were written on it: leave the capital quickly!

Jiang Ran’s complexion moved slightly:

“What does Mr. Yan mean by this?”

This black-clothed person in front of him was no one else, and as soon as she opened her mouth, Jiang Ran recognized her.

This was Yan Wushuang!

The Vice Head of the Hundred Treasures Society.

“You have caused trouble.”

Yan Wushuang said softly:

“Leave the capital quickly, or else you’ll only find it difficult to dash around the jianghu again.

“My words are over ……”

“Causing trouble?”

Jiang Ran was slightly stunned, “I came to the capital only for the second day, it can almost be said that I can’t leave my home, and where did I get into trouble? Moreover, how did you know that I caused trouble? What does this matter have to do with you?

“Moreover, even if it has something to do with you, what is the relationship between you and me? Why take the risk to come and tell me?

“Aren’t you afraid that you’ll invite trouble for yourself as well?”

“Where do you have so many why’s?”

Yan Wushuang looked at Jiang Ran angrily:

“All in all, you’d better get going, otherwise, once you’re deep in the mire, it won’t be so easy to pull out again.

“This is not just a problem that can be solved by the level of one’s martial arts.

“Also, if you don’t want to get me involved, let me hurry up and leave.”

Jiang Ran smiled helplessly:

“Does head of the Yan Association see me ever pulling you to keep you from leaving?”

“…… Then I’m leaving.”

Yan Wushuang was still in this same hurry of coming and going.

After saying these words, she immediately flew away.

Jiang Ran narrowed his eyes slightly and retraced his steps back to the Princess’ Mansion.

As usual, he greeted the two guards in front of the door.

The two guards also responded warmly.

Only after Jiang Ran went in, did the two men look at each other in dismay, why did they feel that this scene was familiar?

Just as Jiang Ran entered the door in front of him, someone came to the Princess’s residence behind him.

Jiang Ran went to the academy, his ass was not even warm, the Princess had already arrived.

Seeing Jiang Ran talking and laughing with Poetic Frost and Frightening Snow, she couldn’t help but give him a cross look:

“You are still here laughing ……

“The person who came to take you from the capital court has already arrived at this palace’s residence.”

“Hmm?”

Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow:

“Take me?”

“Precisely.”

The eldest princess’ face sank:

“Did you go to the Heavenly Prison just now?”

“That’s right, since you brought news of Dao Wu Ming, I couldn’t help but see him.”

“After you left …… Dao Wu Ming died.”

The eldest princess suddenly spoke out of turn:

“He was smashed to pieces with a palm in the sky, and had no power to carry his hand.

“And before he died, the only person he saw was you.

“You’re a shocking sword of martial arts, people naturally can’t help but suspect ……”

Dao Wu Ming died!

Jiang Ran often exhaled a breath, easing his heart.

Ben wanted to say what could this suspect? When he was there, there had been two jailers outside listening.

However, this word in the end is not exported, if someone intends to plant evidence to frame, not to mention still separated by a wall, a door, even if it is in the face, and what is the use?

It seems that their two gold dollars are fed to the dog.

Jiang Ran finger gently point.

Then he heard the Princess say:

“However, they haven’t said anything to the effect that you’re the one who killed them.

“Just want you to follow them back to the Yamen to help investigate.

“The words are very polite …… What do you think?”

“If you follow their steps, I am afraid that the more you fall deeper and deeper.”

Jiang Ran let out a light laugh:

“Playing this hand with me huh?

“Eldest Princess, why don’t we play a game?”

“Hmm?”

The Eldest Princess froze:

“What game?”

Jiang Ran gently patted Tang Yuyi’s shoulder and said:

“The time has come for you to show off your skills.”

He reached out and pointed at the Rapunzel:

“Can you, turn her into me.”

“Using it on a living person is going to kill you ……”

Tang Yuyi said with a dark face.

“Not …… don’t you still have Transfiguration?”

Jiang Ran wondered, how come when he mentioned it, he thought it was the Tianji Douxian Great Transfiguration Technique?

The Rapunzel did react at this time:

“You are planning to take this palace to take the blame ah? How dare you!”
