Chapter 98 Liu Wenshan
"Just a clue?"
Chang Nian frowned slightly.
"That's right."
Mrs. Wu smiled and said,
"We don't have to force you to give an explanation. Just being able to investigate the clues about what happened twenty years ago is already very valuable.
"Once the matter exceeds your ability, We can't force it within the scope, right?
"You can't let your Excellency investigate Cangzhou Mansion or Jinyang Mansion.
"This is too whimsical. "
Okay!"
Chang Nian nodded: "
I promise you... but you also have to promise me."
"As long as you find what you want, you guys will leave Benma County and don't hurt any of the people in our county!" "Your Excellency loves the people like his own children.
Although we are not righteous people, we still admire him."
Jin Sanding laughed. Laughing:
"I will make the decision on this matter. Okay, sir, take a rest early. Let's take our leave now and go back to wait for good news." After saying this, he waved his hand, and the
people in black around him evacuated in all directions.
Madam Wu and Jin Sanding glanced at Shi Miao from a distance.
Mrs. Wu smiled and said,
"I'll come back next time to learn about the girl's clever tricks."
"Do you dare?"
Shi Miao's face was expressionless, only the edge of his sword was solemn.
Madam Wu paused, snorted, turned and left.
Jin Sanding looked at this and then that. When he found that he was alone, he quickly shouted:
"Wait for me."
With a roar, he and the tripod chased Mrs. Wu.
After everyone in this group left, Shi Miao's sword intention restrained.
Chang Nian frowned, turned around and entered the house.
An oil lamp lit up, and half of Jiang Ran's face was reflected in the firelight.
"Young Master Jiang, I have already followed your instructions."
Chang Nian came to Jiang Ran and said,
"But I don't know what the Young Master's plan is?"
Jiang Ran looked up at him and said with a smile:
"Mr. Chang , I dare to ask you something."
"Jiang Shaoxia, just tell me what you have to say."
Chang Nian sat in front of Jiang Ran.
"With the manpower Mr. Chang can recruit now, can he compete with Zuo Daozhuang?"
Jiang Ran said softly.
Chang Nian pondered for a while and said,
"I don't know how far Mr. Jiang and Miss Shi can go if they attack with all their strength?"
"It's not difficult to kill all the people who come here tonight."
Chang Nian was stunned and suddenly became speechless:
"Young Master Jiang asked this It's inevitable...unless you two are unwilling to take action?"
Jiang Ran sighed:
"Mr. Chang, what I'm saying is that it's not difficult to kill all the people who came here tonight, but it's hard to kill those who didn't come tonight. "
Do they still have manpower?"
"Yes."
Jiang Ran nodded: "In addition to those who came here tonight, there is also an old couple who were famous many years ago.
"Miss Shi fought with him as before, although The sharp edge wounded the old man, but if there was no expert to save him, I'm afraid he would have been punished on the spot. "
Hmph. " "
Shi Miao's voice came coldly from the window.
Jiang Ran smiled:
"Did I say something wrong? "
That's right. " Shi
Miao's voice was cold: "But if we fight with him again, he will be injured more seriously." "
Jiang Ran nodded:
"I think the girl's sword energy today seems to be better than the previous two days.
"In just two or three days, you have already made so much progress, which is admirable."
Shi Miao suddenly stopped talking outside the window.
Mr. Chang frowned:
"So there are two people like this."
"It's not just them."
Jiang Ran shook his head slightly:
"Zuo Daozhuang is unpredictable. I don't know much about it, but this trip is theirs. The owner of the village took action personally.
"It's hard to make a conclusion about this person's martial arts skills.
"However, any of his shoe-carrying people are not simple characters.
"And we still don't know if there are any hidden masters among them.
"This matter is very involved, so the people who come here are probably extraordinary.
" Although I and Miss Shi have some abilities, they want to be foolproof in the hands of so many people...
"I'm afraid It's not easy."
"Young Master Jiang is very considerate."
Chang Nian nodded repeatedly:
"Then what should we do?"
Jiang Ran smiled slightly:
"I'm wondering if I can find a surprise soldier for Master Chang."
"Quick soldier ?"
Chang Nian glanced at Jiang Ran: "Where did this strange soldier... come from?"
"Maybe, it's already in Benma County."
...
It
was already half an hour after he came out of this room.
Standing on the roof, Jiang Ran looked at the stars in the sky and said softly:
"Thank you very much."
Shi Miao frowned slightly:
"Why are you thanking me?"
"Thank you for not killing me with a sword when you saw me. ."
Jiang Ran looked back at her.
Shi Miao frowned slightly.
She knew what Jiang Ran was talking about.
Since daytime today, something has been spreading among the towns and cities of Benma County.
It is said that Ye Jingshuang, the eldest daughter of the Maple Leaf family, mistakenly befriended a gangster, thinking that he was her savior. However, she did not expect that the man pretended to be crazy under the influence of alcohol and insulted her. Fortunately, the Tong family helped her and she survived.
It is difficult to find traces of what the original words were.
The content being circulated today actually has loopholes. After all, how could one survive being insulted?
However, who among the people talking about this matter cares about which ones are true and which ones are false?
In the eyes of others, who the savior is may still be a mystery.
But Shi Miao knew that this person was Jiang Ran.
But after she saw Jiang Ran tonight, she didn't wipe out all the injustice in the world, and directly swayed Jiang Ran.
At this time, she glanced at Jiang Ran and said,
"Firstly, I can't kill you.
" Secondly, I don't believe you would do that kind of thing.
"So, I'm waiting for your explanation."
Jiang Ran tilted his head and glanced at her, then smiled:
"I'll wait for Senior Sister Ye to give you an explanation later."
"Huh?"
Shi Miao narrowed his eyes slightly, and then Nodding:
"As expected."
Jiang Ran stood up: "It's almost time, I'll take my leave first."
"Where are you going?"
"Looking for your Senior Sister Ye."
Leaving such words, Jiang Ran's figure It has already blended into the night.
Shi Miao watched his back silently as he left. The sword aura all over his body was flickering. He slowly closed his eyes and gradually gathered all the sword intent and sword aura.
Hide the sword in your heart and wait for the time to move.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, arrived at the inn with ease and found the window.
He pushed it aside and saw Ye Jingshuang sitting on the chair.
She had a tired look on her face and was taking a nap with her head down.
Jiang Ran closed the window and glanced at the bed. Liu Wenshan still showed no sign of waking up.
But that girl Mingyue didn't bother her tonight.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ran came to Ye Jingshuang's side.
As if she noticed someone, the girl suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes flashed with a stern look. After she saw the person in front of her clearly, her eyes turned full of joy: "Brother Jiang!?"
Jiang
Ran nodded lightly:
"Get some sleep, I'll just stay here."
Ye Jingshuang was silent for a moment, then nodded:
"Then I'll take a break for now. It's been a bit hard these past two days..."
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment, then Sitting next to her:
"Okay, I'm here, just have a good rest."
Ye Jingshuang closed her eyes, but her eyes rolled, but she couldn't fall asleep.
After thinking for a moment, she said softly:
"Uncle Tong is completely different from the Uncle Tong I knew.
" Today's rumors must be his handiwork.
"He wanted to force me to marry Tong Yan.
"He thought that once my reputation was ruined, I would have no choice.
"This method... is indeed not the work of a gentleman. "
Jiang Ran said in a low voice: "
But don't worry, we will put things right." "
Yes. " "
Ye Jingshuang nodded:
"Of course I believe you, but every time I think about this person in the past two days, I feel cold in my heart.
"I thought that after I found him, I would have a backer.
"But now I always feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles, like I have a light on my back... I still have to act with him everywhere. It's really tiring. "
"I remember when I first met Shuang'er, you were not like this. "
Jiang Ran smiled and said: "At that time, while mediating with Zhang Dongxuan, I was still able to ask me to run away quickly. In the face of life and death, her face does not change, she is truly a heroine. "
...I would rather fight with him with real swords and guns. "
Ye Jingshuang sighed: "However, I understand now that Tong Wanli is more than just one person. " Did you take this into consideration when you switched from light to dark?
"What did you think of? " "
This news. " "
Ye Jingshuang said:
"The rumors are coming so fiercely that there must be more than one source.
"There must be minions around him that we haven't seen before..."
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment, and then nodded gently:
"But now it's just a guess, but I don't dare to make a conclusion easily.
"You and I probably need more A little patience. "
Ye Jingshuang said:
"They should appear in front of me soon. "
Oh?"
Jiang Ran was stunned: "What do you know? " "
" Tong Wanli told me today that he will have a close friend coming.
"These people have great powers and will help us deal with the Wuxin Ghost Mansion." "
I can't hold it anymore."
Jiang Ran smiled and said,
"That's not bad...
" "Okay, you rest first. I'll guard this place tonight." With. When daybreak comes, I will call you again. "
Okay." "
Ye Jingshuang nodded. She was really tired these past two days.
Now that Jiang Ran came over, she felt an indescribable peace in her heart, as if she could let go of all her defenses as long as she was by this person's side.
She couldn't sleep just now because she wanted to talk to Jiang Ran.
She was tired but unconsciously, but in a moment, her breathing became even.
Jiang Ran looked at her, and there was a faint trace of anger at the corner of his mouth. Smile.
After she fell asleep completely, Jiang Ran turned his attention to Liu Wenshan.
After pondering for a while, he slowly stood up and walked to the bed:
"I gave you time to let you Find out what's going on around you.
"This time is probably your last chance.
"Should you choose to wake up or continue to sleep? "
Liu Wenshan's eyes were closed tightly, without any sign of waking up.
Jiang Ran didn't care, so he sat quietly in front of the bed and looked at him.
After a long time, Liu Wenshan, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly slowly opened his eyes. .
His eyes were not sharp, but rather warm. They were more of an indescribable feeling of exhaustion and a deeply hidden anxiety.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran smiled slightly:
"It's so amazing. No wonder the Ye family was like that back then." Miss, I would choose you, a weak scholar.
"There are only a few weak scholars in this world who can hide us all."
Liu Wenshan's eyes changed:
"You... defrauded me?"
His voice was dry and hoarse.
"Not really, I just can't be sure."
Jiang Ran stood up, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Liu Wenshan.
Liu Wenshan frowned slightly, but still took it and took a sip.
With water moistening his throat, his voice became much better:
"Are you... here for Jiaoweiqin?"
"Just curious."
Jiang Ran smiled and said,
"But what I'm more curious about is why you keep pretending to be unconscious and don't want to Wake up?"
Liu Wenshan fell into silence again.
Jiang Ran was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
But after waiting for almost a cup of tea, Liu Wenshan still didn't speak.
Jiang Ran finally felt that he couldn't wait any longer, so he had to say:
"You should know that you have no choice."
"... Regarding Jiao Weiqin's time in the Ye family, in the whole world, except for me, only Tong Wanli knows."
Liu Wenshan's voice was very low.
Every word is like thunder rolling through people's hearts.
Jiang Ran's eyes were much calmer than expected.
Liu Wenshan glanced at him:
"You...had noticed it earlier?"
"His investigation was too detailed."
Jiang Ran whispered:
"From the time Ye Jingshuang looked for him to when he investigated everything clearly, then In just a few days?
"The people he sent to investigate, even if they have great abilities, cannot be so powerful.
"So, at that time, I had already begun to suspect... that he was colluding with those people."
Not only that, during the battle at Hu Yue Stream.
Ghost Thirteen, the little old man and Tong Wanli had a fierce battle.
That last move seemed to have been planned for a long time.
The purpose of the little old man and Tong Wanli is to join forces to kill Ghost Thirteen.
Although Ghost Thirteen does not have this ability, it is worthy for the two of them to join forces.
But what if it’s for show?
In order to make Ye Jingshuang think that the little old man and Tong Wanli are not the same.
If there is a ghost Shisan involved in it, it will make the situation look particularly anxious and dangerous.
But Ghost Thirteen is a trouble after all, so they want to get rid of it.
Otherwise, judging from Tong Wanli's perspective and position standing next to Ye Jingshuang, he really has no reason to deal with Ghost Thirteen.
This is also where Jiang Ran first became suspicious of Tong Wanli.
That's what he just said.
Liu Wenshan was silent for a moment, and then said:
"I don't regret dying. When Ning'er left, I wanted to go with him.
"If I didn't worry about Mingyue, why should I live in this world.
"It's just that no matter what, we can't let Jiao Weiqin fall into their hands.
"Jiang Shaoxia, you are capable. I have something I want to ask you to help with. "
"You said.
"I want to entrust Mingyue and Jingshuang to you. " "
"? ? ?
Jiang Ran was stunned: "Where do you start talking about this? " "
Liu Wenshan said softly:
"I can see it, Jingshuang...that's all, it's not my turn to say anything.
"Although Mingyue is young, she has reached the age of hairpins.
"I don't dare to trouble the young hero too much. I only hope that the young hero can find a good husband for her, so that she does not have to work all her life and be bullied. "
Jiang Ran was relieved when he heard this.
After thinking about it for a long time, he thought too much... He thought he was going to betroth Mingyue to him.
It turned out that he wanted to find a good family.
Liu Wenshan continued:
" I didn't keep her dowry at home because I was worried that her aunt would be sick.
"Young hero, please remember that there is a Sun Village thirty miles west of Hong Maple Leaf's house.
"The third house at the east end of the village is empty.
"There is a hidden door on the bookshelf in the east wing. When opened, it can lead to a secret room.
"The dowries of Jiao Weiqin and Mingyue are all inside... Ye Konggu and I bought them together.
"If the young hero finds a lover for Mingyue, he can divide the dowry into three parts.
"One part is for Mingyue, one part is for Jingshuang, and one part is for Jingxue.
"Finally... the Jiaowei Qin will be given to the young hero."
[Reward: Clues to the Jiaowei Qin! ]
As Liu Wenshan finished speaking, Jiang Ran also received a system prompt.
Jiang Ran cursed secretly in his heart. Sure enough, he got the reward in this way.
Strictly speaking, this is actually reasonable.
After rescuing Liu Wenshan, you can get clues about Jiao Weiqin.
With Liu Wenshan dead, there is no hope for this reward.
But the question is, what position does your system occupy in this?
Just post a task?
Moreover, after completing this task, he only gained one day of life.
From all aspects, this knife-catching mission is a trap.
But after Jiang Ran complained a bit, he stopped paying attention.
After all, there is still an arrest mission... As for the knife-catching mission, even if it is a mosquito leg, it is still considered meat.
"Young Master Jiang?"
Liu Wenshan shouted again.
Jiang Ran glanced at him and smiled slightly:
"Actually, when it comes to marrying off a daughter, it's better to do it yourself than to have anyone help you, right?
" Even if you have a thousand choices, you still worry about trusting someone else.
"How could I be willing to accept it if it were someone else who chose me?"
Liu Wenshan nodded when he heard
this: "Young hero's words speak to my heart.
"It's a pity... time doesn't wait for us.
"Now that I have explained this matter, I would like to ask the young hero to take Jingshuang and Mingyue away under the cover of night.
"The further we go, the better!
Jiang Ran shook his head and said,
"I really can't leave now. " "
Why?" "
How can you just leave when you haven't killed the person you want to kill and haven't finished what you want to do?"
Jiang Ran smiled and said,
"How about you and I cooperate and put on another good show? "
"Just like the scene you played with Jingshuang? " "
Liu Wenshan glanced at Jiang Ran:
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
Jiang Ran nodded: "As long as you believe me."
Liu Wenshan closed his eyes, and then slowly opened them after a while:
"With this move, Can Mingyue and Jingshuang be safe?"
Jiang Ran nodded solemnly:
"Yes."
Liu Wenshan breathed out:
"Jiang Shaoxia, just ask."
"Then... first, you can sleep for two more days."
Jiang Ran As he spoke, he took out a medicine bag from his pocket and said,
"In order to cover up others' eyes and ears, you can eat this.
" Even Xinglin's Sage cannot find out why you are unconscious.
"And when it's time to wake up, I will come to you again..."
