Chapter 396.

A sound of cold air was heard above the public hall.

A great change of life in the blink of an eye.

It made people not believe that this was actually real.

This was the means of a Jianghu master?

Even the magistrates who had been keeping their eyes open couldn’t help but sneak a peek at Jiang Ran’s face.

Then they compared it to the old man’s face.

It really was exactly the same!

Where had the old man seen such a scene?

It was as if the entire person was dumb, frozen on the spot, his face filled with confusion.

Just then, he heard Dong Baihe gently exhale:

“Jiang Warrior is good at this, it turns out that in addition to the sword technique, even this disguise technique, is also this skillful.

“This official once heard that there is an expert in the jianghu named Immeasurable Sheng.

“His person is then skilled in the art of disguise, and can change his appearance with impunity.

“Nowadays, looking at Jiang Warrior’s skill, I’m only afraid that he is still above this Immeasurable Sheng.”

That’s not very easy to say ……

Jiang Ran muttered in his heart, at that time when he received this Autumn Water Ice Condensation Skill, he didn’t buff it, so he could only say that it was on par with Limitless Sheng.

But this is something he naturally won’t say, but looked at the old man and said softly:

“Old uncle …… in my person, the Jianghu is also considered to have a reputation.

“Even if it is true that I have malicious intentions, I have such a skill, how would I use my appearance to commit crimes?

“I could have disguised myself in a million different ways, taking on the appearance of anyone to do this, and even if you found out, you wouldn’t be able to recognize me.

“What’s more …… the skill of the jianghu people, two of you may not understand.

“By no means could there exist the possibility of a head-on collision.

“In fact, if it is really me …… where the two of you were at that time, when to get up, when to dress and go out, I will know it like the back of my hand.”

The old man heard here brain is still a piece of confusion.

Have the heart to open, but have nothing to say.

He heard Jiang Ran continue:

“In addition, as far as I know, although there aren’t too many people in Jianghu who know the art of disguise.

“Yet, they are by no means absent.

“Even if it’s not as good as Jiang Mou …… but spending a little time, it’s not difficult to get Jiang Mou’s appearance.”

The tears in the old man’s eyes could no longer be held back:

“How could it be so …… How could it be so ah?

“My nizi …… my nizi in the end was killed by what people ah?”

“This matter, Mister Jiang will definitely trace it to the end.”

Jiang Ran stretched out his hand and blocked his face with his sleeve, restoring his original appearance between shaking hands not to mention that there was an extra human skin mask in his palm.

He casually put the mask into his sleeve and looked at Dong Baihe:

“Lord Dong, I’m afraid that there is no evidence to prove that today’s incident was committed by Jiang.”

Dong Baihe nodded:

“The words are reasonable, that is so ……”

With these words, he was about to clap the shocking wood and announce the result.

Just then, he heard a voice from outside the door say:

“Although this way it is impossible to prove that this matter is Jiang Ran’s doing.

“But it can’t completely rule out suspicion either.”

Jiang Ran’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he turned to look at the front of the hall door.

A person was seen slowly coming into the hall.

He was about to open his mouth when he coughed first.

Once Jiang Ran saw him, he smiled:

“Truly there are you everywhere ……”

“Being able to watch you go down, I’m naturally everywhere.”

Yu Wenting smiled, maintaining his demeanor as the son of the Minister of Household.

Dong Baihe’s face then became a bit ugly.

The son of the Minister of the Household …… which is also not good to mess with.

After pondering for a while, he said:

“Mr. Yu Wen, this is the capital city government office!”

This sentence was actually said rather forcefully, this is the capital city government office, not your father’s household department.

You, the son of the Minister of the Household, can’t yet act as an authority here.

Yuwen Ting smiled:

“Don’t worry, Lord Dong, today I have come not as the son of the Minister of the Household.

“Rather, I have come in the capacity of …… the Crown Prince’s guest secretary.

“Declare the Crown Prince’s oracle!”

Dong Baihe’s heart jumped, but as he watched Yu Wenting take out the Eastern Palace token, he knew that the words were not false.

With another glance at Jiang Ran, it was even more difficult.

The prince is now grounded in the East Palace, the cause is this Jiang Ran.

This thing shook the court.

Jiang Ran for the wrongdoing, the offense, but the oil skin has not been damaged, was beaten up, and even almost ruined a pair of legs of the Prince, but was locked up in the East Palace may not come in and out.

Now Jiang Ran was sued for murder, the prince got the news if not come to the well, that is strange.

But this thing is really not small ……

On one side is the eldest princess, on the other side is the crown prince.

Princess said to go to the palace to face the saint, so far there is still no news out.

On the contrary, the East Palace is a step ahead.

But now if they are all listening to the East Palace, then if a moment to come to the holy decree, and how to be good?

Dong Baihe is actually very clear about one thing.

The subject is the subject of the Son of Heaven, not the subject of the Crown Prince, nor the subject of the Princess.

If you can not speculate on the Holy Spirit, in accordance with His Majesty’s intentions, then the road for the minister will come to an end.

Therefore, the important thing is not the Princess nor the Crown Prince.

Rather, it is His Majesty.

However, no matter what, the crown prince has oracles to, after all can not not receive.

Immediately hurriedly got up and saluted.

Then he heard Yuwen Ting say:

“Pass on the Crown Prince’s oracle.

“The gravity of the earth and grain lies in the people, and human life is of paramount importance.

“The case of Jiang Ran’s murder needs to be handled carefully and not rashly.”

When he said this, Yu Wenting stopped speaking.

“Yes, I understand, and I’ll follow the Crown Prince’s instructions.”

Dong Baihe stood up and glanced at Yuwen Ting again:

“Mr. Yuwen, does the Crown Prince have any more orders?”

“No more.”

Yu Wenting shook his head:

“The Crown Prince said that he is now deeply concerned that what he did that night was inappropriate, and is now willing to meditate on himself in the Eastern Palace.

“The reason why there is an oracle over today is not because he holds a grudge against Jiang Ran for what he did,” he said.

“Rather, it is a matter of the people, he this dynastic prince can not ignore.

“Jiang Warrior, I don’t think that you will think that this is the Crown Prince’s personal vendetta, right?”

Jiang Ran smiled dumbly:

“Where is this coming from, Prince Yuwen?

“I believe that Mr. Yuwen can take personal revenge, and I would never believe that the Crown Prince would take personal revenge.”

“……”

Yu Wenting’s face darkened, but he quickly laughed:

“There is no need to show off this power of speech.

“Jiang warrior, your martial arts skills are world-class, I think that if you sincerely want to leave, with these magistrates of the Gyeonggi government office, that will never be able to stop you.

“However, you are the right way of the jianghu, chivalrous people.

“Always to guard the people of the rivers and mountains as their own responsibility, I think will not carry this unjustified injustice, and thus escape, right?”

“This naturally will not.”

“That’s good.”

Yu Wen Ting stood with his hands in the air, took two steps forward and said:

“What you all said just now, I have also heard it in my ears.

“Jiang warrior good subtle disguise art, this jianghu means, really is extraordinary.

“But by the same token …… who can be sure that this is not Jiang warrior intentionally?

“To their own appearance to commit a crime, and then in the public hall, perform this disguise art, so as to use this to get away with it?

“Jiang Warrior old in the jianghu, all kinds of means are also handy, think this a little bit of small mind, always have.”

Jiang Ran smiled at his words and nodded:

“Indeed, such a possibility cannot be ruled out.”

“It seems that Jiang Warrior also agrees with this statement ……”

Yu Wenting added:

“Then, Lord Dong, I’m only afraid that this case has another mystery.

“If it’s really as Jiang Warrior said, then the person who committed the murder, the real purpose is only afraid that it was never the daughters of these two old men.

“but rather the Jiang warrior himself!

“They wanted to frame Jiang for injustice!

“On the contrary, it is that Swordsman Jiang has lived up to his name as a warrior, and that he is actually despicable and shameless despite his apparent benevolence and righteousness.

“Either way …… today I thought that it would be inappropriate to let Great Warrior Jiang leave this capital government office.”

“What does …… Mr. Yuwen mean?”

Dong Baihe frowned slightly.

“If it’s the former, seeing Jiang warrior get off the hook and leave, he’s bound to make a comeback.

“When one plan fails, another one is born!

“At that time, who knows who will be implicated by this innocent and die?

“I think …… all of you are not willing to so risk their lives and become the victims of backstabbing others, right?”

As he said this, he turned back to look out of the lobby door.

This era of ascending the hall to hear a case, was not meant to be heard behind closed doors.

There were the people watching outside.

Seeing how Qingtian enforced the law, seeing how the murderer was brought to justice, and then not much more, they could also watch a hilarious scene.

Now that they heard Yu Wenting’s words, they couldn’t help but nod their heads.

Indeed, there is this reasoning.

That a pair of old couple not far from the previous lesson, look at their appearance, are also honest people.

Daughter’s good thing is in front of us, but suddenly flew into a disaster.

Since then, there is nothing to rely on.

How bleak the late scene, has been vaguely visible.

No one present was willing to end up like this.

“And Grand Warrior Jiang, I don’t think he wants, I don’t kill Bo Ren Bo Ren but die because of me, right?”

Yuwen Ting looked at Jiang Ran again:

“Or perhaps, Great Warrior Jiang never cared about the people’s life and death?”

“Prince Yuwen can talk a good game, but I never realized it in the past.”

Jiang Ran said with a smile:

“However, these words do make sense, and it’s rare for Mister Jiang to agree with your words.”

“Good.”

Yu Wentian nodded and continued:

“And if the latter is the case …… this matter is truly the work of Jiang Warrior.

“Then if I let you out, wouldn’t it be even more of a shame to the people of the capital? To the parents of the victimized person, it is also impossible to explain.”

Dong Baihe raised his eyes to look at the time of day, now it has been some time since he came out from the Princess’ residence.

If there is news coming out of the palace, it would have already arrived by this time.

The reason why there is no movement, I am afraid that there is another reason.

Just how this reason, Dong Baihe can not guess, but also do not dare to be rash, immediately spoke in a deep voice:

“Mr. Yu Wen said the head of the road, calling people to believe.

“But I do not know, what is the high opinion now?”

“In front of Your Excellency, Yuwen Ting is just a white coat, how dare he have any high opinions?

“But it is just a little shallow opinion …… in the district.”

Yu Wenting said:

“In view of the fact that Jiang Warrior has no evidence to prove that he is an innocent person.

“In addition, if there is really a murderer, the target is also Jiang himself.

“Therefore, according to my humble opinion, for the time being, we should not let Swordsman Jiang leave the capital city government office, and temporarily stay in the government office, and wait for the adults to investigate the case clearly, and after the evidence is confirmed, then do the trial.

“Either the person behind it will be brought to justice.

“Either …… or Jiang warrior confesses to the crime and is put to death.”

“Ridiculous to the extreme!”

An angry rebuke came from outside the hall again.

It was immediately followed by a voice:

“The Eldest Princess has arrived!!!”

The people in front of the door immediately hurriedly knelt to greet them, and Dong Baihe also hurriedly rose from his case to see the Eldest Princess.

Even Yuwen Ting, even if the heart of the Princess is known to all.

Even Yuwen Ting, even if his heart for the Princess is known to all, had to kneel and bow honestly at this time.

Inside and outside the entire hall, Jiang Ran was the only one standing silently.

Watching that full of graceful and luxurious woman, eyebrows with anger into the hall.

Her phoenix eyes swept, coldly looking towards Yu Wenting:

“Does the Minister of Households know what you are doing here?”

Yu Wenting froze and gently shook his head:

“My father does not know.”

“Now that imperial brother is in good health, it is not yet time for the courtiers to take sides.

“Yu Wen Gong is running around for the Crown Prince like this, aren’t you afraid of involving the Minister of the Household?”

The eldest princess spoke in a cold voice, then took out an object from within her sleeve:

“The holy decree has arrived!”

With these words, the people who hadn’t gotten up, immediately began to kneel down again to greet the imperial decree.

Only Jiang Ran was still as immovable as ever.

The Emperor’s imperial decree was actually similar to the Crown Prince’s oracle.

Both are urging Dong Baihe to try the case seriously, not to be indulgent, not to wrongly accuse the innocent.

However, the content is similar, but the meaning is mostly the opposite.

Dong Baihe gently exhaled a breath, honestly accept the decree.

And invite the Princess to take a seat.

The Princess naturally can not take over, Dong Baihe asked people to carry a chair over, let the Princess sit down.

As a result, the Eldest Princess took one look and said to Jiang Ran:

“You’re also tired after standing for a long time, go sit down for a while.”

Jiang Ran glanced at her in surprise, and for a moment was in tears:

“Don’t be ridiculous, just sit down.”

“…… Oh.”

The eldest princess thought for a moment and also felt that her party’s words were inappropriate.

Jiang Ran, no matter what, was also under suspicion.

Under these circumstances, sitting and listening to the trial, it was a bit of not taking the court’s laws seriously.

After the Princess sat down, she coldly looked at Yuwen Ting:

“I, the Golden Cicada, have founded the country for hundreds of years, but I have never let an innocent person go to jail.

“Yu Wen Ting, your words seem to be beautiful, but in reality, you want to make Jiang Ran suffer from some imprisonment, your heart is really punishable, it’s simply outrageous!

“When would my hallowed Golden Cicada ever succumb to a murderer? When would I ever submit to a murderer and send the innocent to jail?

“Imperial brother often puts the words ‘the people are the most important thing, the gods of earth and grain come second, and the king is the least important thing’ on his lips.

“Don’t forget that Jiang Ran is also one of the people of my Golden Cicada!

“And he doesn’t have an official position on him, only a martial art and a passion.

“Since he became a knife catcher, he has slain countless murderers with his hands and saved an unknown number of lives.

“How do you think he got the name Jiang Warrior?

“It’s from fighting to the death with the worst of the worst, time and time again,” he said.

“You say that he is despicable and shameless, empty of the name of the warrior, but do not know how many murderers Mr. Yuwen has seen?

“And what have done for the people?”

“I ……”

Yuwen Ting opened his mouth, but could not say anything.

The Princess, on the other hand, looked at Dong Baihe at this time:

“Lord Dong, if there is no evidence, release them as early as possible.

“The backstabber, since he is trying to deal with Jiang Ran …… then this matter will naturally be investigated by him as well.

“With his help, this case is bound to come to hand.

“To wait for the real murderer will be captured, this is the real account of the people.”

Dong Baihe waiting for is this sentence, immediately shocked wood together, hurried to shoot down.

However, outside the lobby there is a voice:

“Can’t let him …… go.”

“Even if he really is not killed, if that evil thief still kills people, and how to be good?”

When these words came out, there were quite a few people who responded.

What’s more, there were people who said:

“The Eldest Princess can’t just ignore the safety of the people in the capital because she has an affair with him.”

After these words, around the people, some follow the coaxing, but there are also some seems to be a big problem, want to leave, but because of the overcrowding and can not go.

The Princess was not furious, but looked at Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran smiled slightly …… Up to this point, the Blood Cicada’s plan, although still not yet seen in its entirety, also showed a clear structure.

After Yu Wenting’s arrival, although he had said a lot of things, the most important one was ‘one plan fails to produce another plan’.

In this way, even if it equated ‘releasing Jiang Ran’ with ‘the murderer continuing to kill’.

Ordinary people might not think about it so much, but the Blood Cicada’s people must have already been planted in the crowd.

Only by inciting public opinion in this way was it possible to create such a sound.

And with the spread of such voices, the entire capital would be filled with similar voices.

At that time, even if Jiang Ran was really innocent, as long as the culprits behind the scenes could not be found, or if they were found, there were other culprits active.

Then Jiang Ran can’t even continue to stay in the capital.

That would …… really want to let Jiang Ran go, is the people in the capital.

But all of this, Jiang Ran and the eldest princess had also anticipated.

Dong Baihe’s shocking wood at this time also can not shoot down.

This kind of momentum, he also knows that there must be someone in the dark ghost.

But now, even if he knew it, there was nothing he could do.

In the end, he blackened his face and pressed down the shocking wood:

“Silence!!!”

“Wi~~~wu!!!”

The magistrates in the hall spoke in unison, and the murmur of voices was only suppressed.

But this is just a moment, Dong Baihe is very clear, the next words of their own, will lead to today’s hall of chaos is not chaotic……

But this word, in the end how to say?

Just when he was in a difficult situation, he heard Jiang Ran laugh:

“Lord Dong does not need to be embarrassed.

“Since the people in the capital are worried about their own safety, how can Jiang Mou be so implicated?

“Then please Lord Dong temporarily in this government office cells, to find a place for Jiang Mou to rest.

“To wait for Jiang Mou body suspicion clear, and then release me is.”

Dong Baihe heard subconsciously looked at the Princess.

He found that the Princess was silent and had a grave expression on her face.

However, not taking a stand at this time was already considered a stand, and immediately Dong Baihe sighed softly:

“Jiang warrior is really righteous, that is so …… then I will aggrieve Jiang warrior for a few days.”

“No harm done.”

Jiang Ran waved his hand slightly and looked at the Elder Princess again:

“For the things outside, I’ll be annoying Your Highness.”

“…… You can rest assured that it is.”

The Eldest Princess spoke in a deep voice.

And Jiang Ran at this time dropped his gaze onto Yu Wenting’s face.

He saw Yu Wenting looking at himself with a smile on his face, and between his four eyes, he even bowed and made a bow.

The feeling of complacency was overflowing.

Jiang Ran nodded his head slightly, however, without seeing it, he flexed his finger and flicked it, Yu Wenting let out an ‘aigoo’ and fell down on his back, knocking a bloody head.
