Chapter 108
The small river is gurgling, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant in the forest.
The fragrance of Wenxiang Forest comes with the wind and is refreshing. It is indeed a good place to relax and enjoy.
Jiang Ran sat on the stool and let Ye Jingshuang lean on his shoulder.
Staring at the river, I felt puzzled.
This old man's identity is probably not an ordinary person even within the Demon Cult.
Such people came here in person just to send a token to the young village owner?
This is impossible...
However, he doesn't say what his real purpose is.
But Jiang Ran always had a weird feeling. He seemed to be here just for himself?
This idea is a bit pretentious, but the possibility exists.
But whether this reason is because of the old drunkard or because of himself...it's hard to say.
And, what did his last sentence mean?
"Don't let down the painstaking efforts?
"Whose painstaking efforts? How to suffer? "
Jiang Ran stretched out his hand and suddenly remembered that there was another important question that he had not asked. The
Blood Cauldron Scripture was useless to him. Does it have something to do with Tang Shiqing?
After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head again:
"I guess I asked. He won't say..."
And the biggest gain from this trip is the news about this old drunkard.
The old drunkard is now in Jinyang Mansion...
It reminded Jiang Ran of Tong Wanli's words.
He said that Qi Tianyue is now also In Jinyang Mansion,
Tianshang Que and the Demon Sect are not dealing with each other.
At least, judging from the current situation, this is indeed the case.
Outside Cangzhou Mansion, the Demon Sect’s people killed all the Yun tribe masters in Tianshang Que.
The people from Tianshang Que came After arriving in Cangzhou Mansion, they seemed to be worried about the Tang family and the Demon Sect.
Therefore,
they did not dare to make a big splash. They knew that Tong Wanli would be an obstacle to what they were going to do.
They did not kill him directly, but went around in a circle. , changing Tong Wanli's position.
Is this to avoid being discovered by the Tang family?
Although this is just a guess so far, it may not be unreasonable.
If these two come true, considering the inextricable connections between the old drunkard and the devil's sect, relationship. It
suddenly became reasonable that he would go to Jinyang Mansion.
"Are they going to unite together and fight to the death with Tianshangque? "
After such speculation emerged in Jiang Ran's mind, he let out a sigh of relief and thought to himself: "It
seems that Jinyang Mansion has to go...
" Not to mention the whereabouts of the old drunkard, just abandoning it. Since Tianyue is in Jinyang Mansion, I have to go there.
"Forty thousand taels of gold!
"Maybe if I kill him, I can live for a few more years..."
Just as he was thinking of this, his shoulders moved slightly, and it was Ye Jingshuang who woke up.
Jiang Ran just checked her and found that she was simply asleep.
She had been exhausted mentally and physically these past two days, so she took advantage of this opportunity to take a nap, so she did not use the right heart finger to forcefully wake her up.
Ye Jingshuang shook his head slightly. After coming back to his senses, he looked up at Jiang Ran and was slightly startled:
"Brother Jiang... what am I?"
After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Ran to answer, he was already He quickly looked around:
"Where is the remnant of the Demon Sect?"
"He's gone."
Jiang Ran frowned slightly: "In an extremely weird way, he disappeared directly in front of me."
After hearing this, Ye Jingshuang He breathed a sigh of relief:
"Just leave..."
I glanced at Jiang Ran and found that his face was not very good, so I comforted him softly:
"The methods of the Demon Cult have always been treacherous. It's not your problem that he wasn't left behind, it's just their ability. It's always elusive."
Jiang Ran smiled when he heard the words:
"That's true. The Tang family disappeared overnight.
"Today, this old man seems to have disappeared in front of me...
"In this world If there were no immortals or Buddhas, it would be difficult to guess the extraordinary skills and skills.
"You can ask Li Tianxin later. "
Most of the reason why I am indestructible is because I don't have enough experience.
Li Tianxin has an unpredictable background and has an extremely deep understanding of the Demon Cult. Maybe he will know something.
Ye Jingshuang nodded, but suddenly he was stunned:
"Tang Family? "
Then she remembered that Jiang Ran separated from her at that time just to go to the Tang family to rescue his master.
At that time, she thought that the Tang family would not be able to trouble Jiang Ran, and she would probably have rescued his master when they met again.
He didn't ask any more questions... Now after listening to Jiang Ran's words, he realized that there were twists and turns!
Listening to Jiang Ran's words, the Tang family was
also a remnant of the demon sect? Jiang Ran didn't hide it, so he went to the Tang family. Things were said in this way.
Except for the nine-death situation, everything else was detailed. Even the matter of Tang Shiqing was told in detail.
Ye Jingshuang changed his face several times after hearing this. Finally, he frowned, suppressed the strangeness in his heart, and said in a deep voice:
"This seems unreasonable.
"You said that Tang Yuanwai had been waiting for you outside the house for a long time, so he knew you were coming.
"Moreover, he said that you were his son-in-law... and your master was the mediator.
"From this point of view, it may not be false.
"So what Tang Shiqing did that night was unnecessary?
"The parents' orders, the matchmaker's words, the marriage has been decided, and it will happen sooner or later, why are you so impatient?" "
You forgot, I don't want to."
Jiang Ran smiled hoarsely: "It's inexplicable who is willing to accept it. This marriage?"
When Ye Jingshuang heard this, the corner of her mouth curled up subconsciously, and she nodded:
"That's true. If my father promised me a marriage without my consent, I wouldn't want to either.
" However, Brother Jiang... I still feel that the Tang family's approach seems unreasonable.
"Even if you don't want to, we have never broken our skin.
" And judging from the fact that they are originally son-in-law and your master, it seems that they plan to stay in contact with you for a while.
"Let you stay in the Tang family so that Tang Shiqing can fall in love with you for a long time.
" Before there is a real falling out, this thing is still very likely to happen.
"After all, you are a strong-blooded man, and the poetry of the Tang Dynasty is so beautiful.
" When we get along with each other, we will inevitably develop feelings for each other.
"Besides, they were not just trying to collect yang and replenish yin, otherwise there would be no need to go around in such a big circle.
"Why were they suddenly so anxious that night? "
At this point, she paused and glanced at Jiang Ran:
"Besides, can you be sure that you are really... really..."
At this point, she couldn't continue and bit her lip lightly:
"It's just... you know what I'm going to say.
" I don't know. "
Seeing her face turning red, Jiang Ran couldn't help but start joking: "What are you going to say? " "
Ye Jingshuang's face was hot with embarrassment. She felt that Jiang Ran was so smart on weekdays. Why did he suddenly become stupid? He
raised his eyebrows and saw Jiang Ran's playful eyes. Then he realized how bad this person was. .
He couldn't help pinching Jiang Ran's arm:
"You...Brother Jiang, if you do this, I will ignore you. "
Jiang Ran smiled hoarsely, feeling that this joke was indeed a bit out of proportion.
How could a girl suppress her shyness and talk to her about serious matters like this? She
immediately coughed and said,
"Actually, I don't know either.
"At that time, I felt as if something had happened.
"But looking back now, maybe nothing happened that night..."
"If it was the former, it would be easier to explain. "
Ye Jingshuang let go now:
"She just wants your body.
"But if it's the latter, it's even harder to explain.
"And even if it's the former...Brother Jiang, why do you think she would take the body of someone she has never met? "
This..."
Jiang Ran touched his face.
His face is indeed good-looking. He
has a good skin, but to be honest, there is no handsome man in the sky, and there is only one in the world. No.
Tang Shiqing's appearance is really indescribably beautiful.
What kind of man does such a woman want?
Why go to such trouble for herself?
At the end, he nodded lightly:
"So, what do you think that night, In fact, nothing happened to us?
"No, I think something must have happened, but maybe not that kind of thing. " "
Ye Jingshuang said: "But the specific situation... I'm afraid we won't know until we find Tang Shiqing or the Tang family.
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment and nodded: "
In that case, let's find it."
"I plan to go to Jinyang Mansion during this trip. Do you want to go with me?" "
Jinyang Mansion?"
Ye Jingshuang nodded: "Of course that's good. I told you, wherever you go from now on, I will be by your side to take care of you, so of course I have to go with you." "
Well, before that, I'll go back to your house first.
"And I have to settle down with your uncle and cousin. "
Jiang Ran thought as he stood up and said,
"After I take care of the heads brought back from the Valley of the Past, let's set off. "
Okay." "
Ye Jingshuang nodded, but when he looked in the direction of Ye's house, there was a little more sadness in his eyes.
Without saying anything else, the two of them turned back.
After entering Benma County, as soon as they arrived at the door of the inn, they saw the door There was a cart
in front of it. It was covered with cloth, but it could be seen that there were blood stains. A group of people were standing on the side, pointing at the cart.
Obviously, they were extremely curious about what was inside.
But there was no No one dared to step forward to take action, because a group of gangsters who were not easy to mess with at first sight were surrounding them, blocking anyone who wanted to step forward.
Jiang Ran's face darkened, and he glanced up in the direction of the inn.
He saw a figure rushing from the lobby.
"Jiang Daxia, are you back? " "
The speaker was Mr. Ma. He ran all the way, the beard on his face flying in the wind.
When he arrived in front of Jiang Ran, he saluted repeatedly.
At the same time, he couldn't help but glance at Ye Jingshuang.
Jiang Ran gave Ye Jingshuang Shuang introduced:
"This is Mr. Ma.
"I heard that in Benma County, you don't know the name of the county magistrate, but you have to know Mr. Ma."
Ye Jingshuang was stunned after hearing this, and immediately clasped her fists:
"I have met Mr. Ma."
Mr. Ma quickly waved his hand . :
"Don't dare, don't dare, it's too small.
" "You can call me little horse or old horse." "
Ye Jingshuang glanced at Jiang Ran with a strange expression. This local snake is actually the hardest to deal with.
Not only do they have some abilities, the most important thing is that they are often inextricably linked to the local area.
But I don't know what Jiang Ran is like. He managed to treat this person so obediently.
Mr. Ma continued:
"Master Li and the others have also come back. They originally wanted to stay at my place, but then the sick man... No, it was the senior who wanted to stay at the inn. Rest, we will send them here.
"Speaking of it, this time the opponent seems to be very extraordinary.
" When Master Li came back, he was in a mess and covered with mud. "
That was probably because it was raining and the road was slippery. He fell while pushing the scooter, right?
Jiang Ran smiled: "The opponent this time is indeed not weak. Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you. "
As he spoke, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and threw it to Mr. Ma:
"You and your brothers will each take one grain of the contents inside.
"Don't be greedy for too much, otherwise even I won't be able to save you."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Ma quickly grabbed the bottle in his hand, as if he was holding on to his lifeblood.
After opening it, I took a peek and saw four pills placed inside, one pill not too much and one pill too little.
How can I be greedy for too much?
But he didn't dare to complain, he just thanked her profusely.
Jiang Ran waved his hand:
"Okay, go ahead and do what you have to do. I'll go to the county office again."
Master Ma quickly ordered his men to help push the cart.
Jiang Ran was reluctant at first, but couldn't resist Ma Ye's enthusiasm, so he agreed.
But before arriving at the county government office, I met a group of government officials.
It turned out that some people felt something was wrong and went to the Yamen to report the matter.
A group of government officials came over to investigate the situation.
However, after seeing Jiang Ran, a government official recognized him. This person had come to the county government office before and was respectfully invited in by the county magistrate.
He didn't dare to say anything immediately, and just asked a few questions carefully. After knowing that Jiang Ran was going to the county government, he simply opened the way.
This scene is a bit strange.
Local snakes escorted the car, and the government officials now cleared the way.
Both black and white were at his side, instantly giving Jiang Ran a big face.
Ye Jingshuang also couldn't laugh or cry. She glanced at Jiang Ran from time to time and found it interesting to see the helplessness on his face.
In this way, a group of people arrived at the county government office in a blink of an eye.
Mr. Ma said goodbye and left, while the government officials looked at the cart curiously. They wanted to open it several times and have a look, but they restrained themselves.
In the end, Jiang Ran reached out and pulled the white cloth away.
The sight of the heads immediately made the officials present feel their hearts tingle.
Jiang Ran took the arrest warrant and said,
"Don't panic, these are wanted criminals.
" "Please help me get these heads in." "
A group of government officials, look at me, I look at you, and then look at Jiang Ran in a different way.
Although this man is dressed a bit colorfully, he has a handsome face and extraordinary temperament.
But the feeling he gives people is not the same. Not so fierce.
Why did he chop off so many heads just because they disagreed?
They gathered them together, and there were twelve heads in total.
They immediately found six people, each carrying two heads, and they lined up and entered the door. .
Just halfway through, I saw that Chang Nian had already come out.
After seeing Jiang Ran, he immediately smiled and said:
"Jiang Shaoxia, you are not leaving a way for our county government to survive.
"Why did Mr. Chang say this? " "
Jiang Ran blinked.
"There are too many people here. I only have a few dollars in Benma County. Don't you have to pay for it all? "
This..."
Jiang Ran thought for a moment and said,
"How about you write a note and I go to Mr. Guo to ask for money?" "
"No need!" Chang
Nian waved his hands quickly. How could it be reasonable for a lower official to write a note and ask the upper official to pay? He
immediately smiled and led Jiang Ran inside.
Jiang Ran continued to say:
"I am not joking with you, please write me a note." Consider it a certificate.
"Let Mr. Guo transfer the silver from Cangzhou Prefecture so that Benma County will not be overwhelmed." "Young
Master Jiang is determined."
Chang Nian smiled bitterly and said,
"I am trying my best to make up for it, but it is enough.
"And, in fact, it is enough. To be honest, Mr. Guo is no longer the governor of Cangzhou Prefecture. "
Oh?"
Jiang Ran was stunned:
"He has lost his official hat in just a few days? " "
That's not true. " Chang
Nian said with a smile: "I just found out today that Mr. Guo actually came to Cangzhou Mansion for another purpose." Now that things were done, the Holy Emperor ordered him to go to Kanglong Pass to serve as the commander-in-chief of Kanglong Pass. "
That's it. " "
Jiang Ran was stunned. Just thinking about it, he thought it was a bit funny:
"He is jumping between civil servants and military attachés repeatedly, and no one cares about him?
"This... I really don't know. " "
I don't dare to talk nonsense even if I know it.
He is different from Jiang Ran. He has an official status.
Jiang Ran is a commoner and has strong martial arts, so he naturally talks nonsense.
But if his mouth is crooked all year round, if it spreads to some adult, In my ears, maybe this county magistrate is not qualified.
The two people walked and talked, and arrived in the hall in a blink of an eye.
Jiang Ran explained these heads and the rewards in detail.
There are some county government cases here. Zongli was still able to find the Haizhu documents, but some of them could not be found. However,
Jiang Ran had the knife-catching order in his hand. No matter whether he could find it or not, the money had to be given now. Even
if he was heartbroken all year round, he waved his hand, Let the government servants go get the money.
In the end, only the heads of Dugu Yu and Yin Yueniang were left in place.
Jiang Ran looked embarrassed and said:
"I will take these two heads away later.
"Their identities are not simple. I just don't know how much the reward is, and I don't even know if they are there."
Chang Nian smiled:
"I can help Jiang Shaoxia solve his doubts..."
As he spoke, he took out a booklet from his arms:
" This is what Dao... Dao Wuming asked me to give it to you."
"Dao Wuming?"
Jiang Ran curled his lips and thought to himself, could this be another erotic book?
Glancing at Ye Jingshuang next to him, he took it carefully.
He flipped through it casually, and before he could see the contents clearly, a letter fell out.
There was no word on the envelope. Jiang Ran thought for a moment and opened the letter.
After reading it ten lines at a time, he frowned slightly.
I picked up the booklet again and opened it. It was full of densely packed small words.
He searched for a while and finally found two names on one page.
'Yangjun' Duguyu was rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver.
'Yuejun' Yin Yueniang is rewarded with nine thousand taels of silver.
At the same time, two reminders popped up in front of Jiang Ran.
After Jiang Ran took over the task casually, he tapped his fingers on the table.
This booklet is the "Wanted List" of the Sword Holding Division.
It lists the names of various masters that are not suitable to appear on ordinary sea fishing documents.
Just looking at this list, something strange suddenly appeared in Jiang Ran's heart.
Can anyone really kill the people on this list?
What if you don't deserve the crime, but you offend a powerful person, are listed on it, and want to be eradicated by the hands of someone with a knife?
