Chapter 396 Murder Case

Jiang Ran listened quietly to the eldest princess's words and did not speak.

It wasn't because he felt the sincerity in these words.

After all, everyone can say nice things.

But for now, the answer given by the eldest princess is acceptable to Jiang Ran.

As for talking about the future... we will talk about the future later.

He was silent, thinking about other things.

The eldest princess waited for a long time, but when she didn't see Jiang Ran's response, she couldn't help but look up at him:

"I have already said this, so you have nothing to say to me?"

Jiang Ran thought for a moment and said:

“The blood cicada matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

“Otherwise, even if we leave the capital, we will still have no peace.

"I have a plan...

"Do you want to hear it?"

"talk!"

The eldest princess glared at him:

"Didn't you tell me earlier if you had a plan?"

"I have to at least make sure that you are really worthy of belief."

"...Then do you think I am worthy of trust now?"

"Just barely."

Jiang Ran gently patted the eldest princess on the shoulder:

"You still need to keep working hard!"

"..."

The eldest princess gritted her teeth. She was a majestic eldest princess. She still had to work hard to win the trust of others?

It's really a big face.

It's a pity that she gritted her teeth for a long time, but she only dared to be angry but dared not speak.

He glared at Jiang Ran angrily:

"Stop being so pretentious and tell me!"

"Come here."

Jiang Ran waved to her.

The eldest princess hesitated for a moment, then approached:

"This place is quite secretive, but I even came here..."

"Secret shit."

Jiang Ran rolled his eyes:

"If you want to keep it secret, where did the poison on this box come from?

"That Kou Xun is a master. Although he didn't see through my Hidden Shadow Step, he was aware of it.

"With such a master in charge, how many people in the world do you think can come here without anyone noticing?

"Either... the martial arts skills of this person are really too high.

"Either..."

"There's something wrong with this Kou Xun!"

The eldest princess instantly understood what Jiang Ran meant.

I didn't expect it in the past, not because she was too stupid, but because she didn't know Kou Xun's martial arts.

Anyone who can be called a master by Jiang Ran is naturally a master among masters.

Immediately took a deep breath:

"The Jin Chan Dynasty is like a sieve now, full of leaks... Tell me quickly, what is your plan?"

Jiang Ran said this and this again in the ear of the eldest princess.

At the beginning, the eldest princess could feel the hot air from Jiang Ran's words spraying on her ears, which made her ears itch and she couldn't help but feel a little distraught.

Especially since Jiang Ran had just been subjected to a lot of 'torture', this would be even more heartbreaking.

But as I listened, I gradually stopped thinking.

Sometimes his brows were furrowed, and sometimes he was suddenly enlightened.

At the end, his face was full of solemnity.

She glanced at Jiang Ran:

"This move is somewhat dangerous...and it will be extremely detrimental to your reputation.

"I can't bear to ask you to bear the humiliation and burden like this."

"Oh?"

Jiang Ran smiled and glanced at the eldest princess:

"Do you think I really care about my reputation?"

"Who can walk around the world without cherishing their own feathers?"

The eldest princess took a deep breath:

"But...if you are allowed to bear such unfair injustice...

"I really feel bad about it."

"It doesn't matter, what is supposed to come will eventually come. Rather than being involved and entangled like this, it's better to have fun... However, in this fight, you must use all your strength, otherwise, it will not be like ”

Jiang Ran said this and took out other letters from the secret compartment.

Open and read each letter one by one.

In addition to the most important letter in the box, there are also other letters written by this 'black'.

There is no date on the letter.

Jiang Ran read through the pages page by page. From the lines of the words, he felt that this person had been in contact with the Jin Chan Dynasty for at least three years.

It's just that apart from exchanging what they have, the two parties never mentioned each other's goals.

This is mostly because they have the same goals and therefore have a tacit understanding.

Jiang Ran also understood what the main purpose of that incident was.

But now it seems that there are people in the Demon Cult who want to get that thing.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to conspire with the imperial court.

Jiang Tianye launched the Five Kingdoms War, perhaps not just because of his arrogant personality.

At the same time, it may also be because he fell into a huge conspiracy and was led by others into a dead end.

After Jiang Ran read all these contents, he said to the eldest princess:

"Is there anything else?"

"Nothing."

The eldest princess shook her head, but then said:

"But we can also look for it here."

Jiang Ran possesses seven skills and is indeed quite good at this aspect.

Immediately, he and the eldest princess searched around the treasure house.

I did find something.

For example, a princess exchanged secret letters with the son of a foreign minister.

There is also an affair between a certain concubine and an eunuch in the harem.

What's more, there is also a collection of erotic pictures collected by Jin Chan, a certain king who has long been buried in the imperial mausoleum...

All in all, a lot of messy and dirty things were found.

But there are no other clues about what happened that year.

Seeing this, the two of them didn't waste any more time here and went straight out of the secret vault.

Seeing the eldest princess coming out, Kou Xun immediately trotted all the way to the eldest princess, riding up and down.

It's just that the way the eldest princess walks seems unnatural.

Kou Xun has seen this situation many times.

Most of the people under my command walked like this when they disobeyed orders or did things poorly and got slapped.

Just thinking about the eldest princess being punished in a secret vault where no one was around... Kou Xun felt that he was probably crazy.

This is simply impossible!

Not to mention that there is no one in the secret warehouse, even if there is someone, who dares to hit the eldest princess?

Kou Xun was relieved as he put the eldest princess into the car obediently.

Looking back, the smile on his face had completely disappeared.

“Arrived twice in succession…

"Is it really because of..."

Thinking of this, he looked at the direction in which the eldest princess was leaving:

"But, nothing seems to have happened..."

With a thought in his mind, he quickened his pace and walked towards the secret warehouse.

……

……

"Kou Xun does have a problem, but we can deal with it later."

The eldest princess was sitting upright when Jiang Ran's voice suddenly came to her ears.

Turning around immediately, she saw Jiang Ran sitting next to her.

After being stunned for a moment, he nodded:

"Okay, I get it.

"Is there any other place to go next?"

Jiang Ran shook his head slightly:

"Go directly back to the princess mansion."

"it is good."

The car drove straight to the Princess Mansion without any twists and turns.

Just when I arrived at the gate of the Princess Mansion, I found that there was already a group of uninvited guests in the Princess Mansion.

Soon someone came over to report that the person who came to the Princess Mansion was the government servant of the government office.

It seemed that the past was repeating itself. They claimed that the purpose of coming here was still because of Jiang Ran.

There was a murder last night.

The person who died was not a high-ranking official, nor was he a master of martial arts.

But she was a daughter from an ordinary family... She died miserably, and she was obviously tortured before she died.

Her parents discovered this early in the morning.

Now the mother of the deceased is crazy and can't bear such a huge blow.

The father of the deceased went to the government office to beat drums and complain.

The target is pointed at Jiang Ran!

The reason for this is that the father of the deceased claimed that he and his wife saw Jiang Ran coming out of their daughter's room.

After seeing them, he jumped directly into the air and disappeared without a trace.

After hearing these words, the eldest princess glanced at Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran chuckled:

"This is the beginning... From now on, it's up to you."

"it is good."

The eldest princess took a deep breath:

"Leave it to me...but you still have to comfort those around you.

"Otherwise, I'm worried that my little princess mansion will be razed to the ground in less than two days."

Jiang Ran smiled dumbly:

"Okay, I will make preparations before I leave."

After saying what needed to be said, the two people got out of the carriage. He came directly to the princess's mansion.

First, the eldest princess was asked to go to the front hall to meet people, while Jiang Ran went to the academy.

I found Tang Shiqing and Ye Jingshuang and confessed some things.

Tang Shiqing had been listening quietly. After hearing what Jiang Ran said, she nodded:

"Don't worry, just leave it to me."

"With you presiding here, I feel relieved."

Jiang Ran smiled.

Ye Jingshuang frowned:

"Does it have to be this way?"

"This is the most convenient way."

Jiang Ran smiled at her:

"Don't worry, I have an extraordinary status in the eyes of many people now, and I will be treated politely wherever I go.

"In contrast, I am more worried about your situation...

"So, you must not make any decisions on your own without my permission."

"Ah."

Ye Jingshuang had no choice but to nod after hearing what he said.

After explaining what needed to be explained, Jiang Ran came to the reception room of the Princess Mansion.

I don't know if it was because the last incident was too big, but this time the person who came to visit was no longer an ordinary government official.

The governor personally visited the house.

After seeing Jiang Ran, he stood up directly without asking for help and bowed:

"I, Dong Baihe, have met Mr. Jiang."

"Mr. Dong, you are so polite. Jiang is just a man in white clothes and does not deserve such a great gift from you."

Jiang Ran stretched out his hand, and Dong Baihe straightened up involuntarily.

As the governor of Gyeonggi Province, Dong Baihe is naturally well-informed, and Jiang Ran is even more famous. Now that he saw that the force of his wave of his hand could actually affect his body, he felt even more awe-inspiring.

He immediately laughed and said:

"Young Master Jiang is extraordinary, I should be more polite.

"The official has just explained it to the eldest princess.

“This case is full of doubts and there are many things that are unclear.

"Therefore, we cannot conclude that this matter was done by Jiang Daxia.

“However, since there are people beating drums to express their grievances, I can’t just ignore them.

"That's why I came here rashly, hoping to invite Daxia Jiang to go to the government office and cooperate with the investigation of this matter.

"When the truth comes out, I will personally come to apologize."

"Master Dong is serious."

Jiang Ran said:

"Jiang is a well-behaved person, but if a young person pretends to commit the crime, it would be difficult to hide it completely.

"With Mr. Dong enforcing the law impartially, and with the eldest princess working hard for me, I expect that the truth will be revealed soon."

"Yes."

The eldest princess said softly:

“This matter must be investigated thoroughly.

"But Mr. Dong...when did I say that you can take him away from my princess's residence?"

Dong Baihe suddenly laughed dryly:

"This... eldest princess, the people are agitated, and the lower officials are also in trouble."

"so what?"

The eldest princess said with a dark face:

"Ordinary people don't know the insidiousness of Jianghu, let alone the tricks of Jianghu. They only believe that what they see is believing. What they hear is false.

“But I don’t know how many concealment methods there are in this world that can make people change their appearance.

"What's more, how many of them don't understand the truth and just join in the booing...

"Master Dong, you have to be aware of everything."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Dong Baihe nodded quickly:

"Of course I understand."

Even though he said that, there was a hint of sweat on his forehead.

Jiang Ran discovered that it was at this time that he finally saw the extraordinary power of the eldest princess.

He immediately smiled and said:

"Okay, okay, don't embarrass Mr. Dong.

“He was just acting in accordance with the rules, and there is nothing wrong with that.

"Everyone is here, so I'll just follow them...

"You go directly into the palace to see the Holy One, and ask the Holy One to supervise and enforce the law impartially.

"I guess there won't be much of a mistake."

"..."

The eldest princess glanced at Jiang Ran, her anger subsided, and turned to Dong Baihe:

"Then you have to investigate carefully."

This sentence is almost word for word.

The meaning is unclear.

Dong Baihe could only nod his head:

"Yes, I will definitely investigate carefully and I will never wrongly accuse Master Jiang."

The eldest princess nodded slightly and glanced at Jiang Ran:

"Then go ahead, don't worry, nothing will happen."

"Of course I won't worry."

Jiang Ran smiled and said to Dong Baihe:

"Master Dong, please."

"please."

Mr. Dong quickly stretched out his hand to lead Jiang Ran out.

For fear of being too late, the eldest princess would change her mind.

The two of them walked all the way to the door, where a soft sedan had already been prepared.

With the sound of "getting up the sedan", the group went straight to the capital government office.

The parents of the deceased are still waiting here, and the old couple are seeking death and survival.

They had been childless for half their lives, and as they approached middle age, they had an only daughter.

We just made an agreement a few days ago and have started preparing wedding clothes.

As a result, this happened.

After following Jiang Ran to the government office, he sat in the back hall and listened.

In the government office, the sound of raising the hall sounded.

The shout of 'mighty' also reached Jiang Ran's ears.

He picked up a cup of tea and listened to Dong Baihe ask the whole story again, while the husband of the old couple told the story again with a tearful voice.

Jiang Ran could also hear the voice of the deceased's mother.

Sometimes she cried, sometimes laughed, and sometimes she looked confused and asked her husband where she was. He said that Nizi was about to get married. If he didn't go home and prepare a dowry for her, what were he doing here?

The more Jiang Ran listened, the more his face dropped.

There were faint cracks in the cup in his hand.

And when Dong Baihe said that Jiang Ran came to the court, a Yamen servant came to invite him.

Jiang Ran stood up, followed the yamen servant around twice, and then came to the main entrance of the lobby. Just as he was about to step in, he saw an old couple dressed simply, looking back at him at the same time.

The old woman's eyes changed from confusion to horror in an instant.

He quickly looked around, seeming to be looking for something.

After searching around, he didn't seem to find the person he was looking for, so he sat down on the spot with empty eyes.

The old man's eyes were bloodshot, and he wished he could eat Jiang Ran alive with his eyes.

He gritted his teeth and said:

"it's him!!

"it's him!!!!

"Even if he is, even if he is burned to ashes, I will never admit his mistake!

"He was the one who came out of my Nizi's room early this morning...

"He, he...he harmed my daughter!

"me……"

The old man said that he was going to grab the water and fire stick in the hand of one of the yamen servants and fight Jiang Ran for his life.

How could the government officials let him succeed?

Sweeping his eyes angrily:

"presumptuous!!"

After all, ordinary people may do some irrational things when anger gets the best of them.

Being shouted like this, I suddenly woke up.

I didn't dare to grab it anymore, but I was anxious to jump on the spot.

Dong Baihe quickly slapped the alarm.

The old man suppressed his anger, but his eyes still wanted to gouge out all the flesh and blood on Jiang Ran's body.

Jiang Ran looked at him and sighed.

She didn't say anything to him... nothing would work at this moment.

He then came to the hall and bowed to Dong Baihe:

"Jiang Ran has met Mr. Fu Yin."

"it is good."

Dong Baihe nodded, glanced at Jiang Ran and said:

"Do you know why you were summoned to court today?"

"..."

Is this nonsense?

Jiang Ran sighed:

"know."

Dong Baihe also planned to follow the script. When Jiang Ran said he didn't know, he would tell him who sued you, what happened, and how...

As a result, Jiang Ran knew it and made him get stuck on his words.

After struggling for a long time, he simply went straight to the topic:

"At around Yin o'clock this morning, where were you?"

Jiang Ran thought about it carefully and said:

"Patio Street."

"what?"

Dong Baihe was stunned: "Where is Tianjing Street?"

"In front of Langhuan Bookstore."

Jiang Ran answered honestly again.

Dong Baihe suddenly felt his head buzzing... Langhuan Bookstore was razed to the ground last night.

After working on it for a long time, the person who caused the trouble was right in front of us.

His face immediately darkened, and before he could speak, the old man said angrily:

"Nonsense... You were clearly outside the door of my wife's room at that time.

"Where is Tianjing Street?"

Jiang Ran looked back at the old man and shook his head gently:

"Uncle, do you know that what you see may not be true?"

"You...you want to say that I have wronged you? Let me tell you...Old man, although I haven't read a book for a few days, I can guarantee it with my life that I have never lied in my life.

"If I tell half a lie in this lobby today, I, I, I will be struck by lightning!!"

When the old man said this, Jiang Ran suddenly reached out and covered his face with his sleeves.

Then he shook his hand, took away his sleeves, and looked at Jiang Ran's face again. The old man was almost scared to death.

The face of that handsome young man turned out to be just like his own!
