Chapter 398 Leaving Beijing

tea room.

Green smoke curls up and the fragrance lingers.

He picked up the tea cup with one hand, brought it to his lips, and took a sip.

I just heard the person opposite say:

"This calculation is not clever, but it is extremely accurate.

"Jiang Ran is called a hero, but he cannot treat human life as if it were nothing like the evil heretics.

"Although the dead are not worth mentioning, it is this insignificance that makes them unable to help but care.

“But it’s different from the first one.

"At that time, it had not reached such a point, and there was still room for mediation between the two parties.

"Now...since he already knows about our existence, he must disappear from the capital."

The hand holding the teacup slowly put it down, and said in a deep voice:

"How are the people in front of the Yamen doing?"

"died."

The person opposite answered without any hesitation:

"The person who took action must be the devil's sect's once-in-a-thousand-year-old prodigy.

"Not only did the person in front of the door die, but everyone in the stronghold also died.

“Before he died, his face looked horrified, as if he had seen something incredible.

"It is said... that the martial arts she practices can instill fear in people's hearts.

"With fear, life will be lost."

"Tang Tianyuan is a businessman who was delayed by martial arts, and he is also a martial arts wizard who was delayed by business.

"I only learned in recent years that he was actually able to combine the [First Sorrow of Eternity] from the Eighteen Heavenly Demon Records that no one has ever truly mastered to create a miraculous skill.

"Jiang Ran is surrounded by so many masters that it is difficult to deal with them."

Speaking of this, he sighed softly:

"Otherwise, we don't need to take such roundabout ways."

"When Jiang Ran leaves, the eldest princess will be left alone.

"She will definitely die by then."

When the person opposite said this, his tone was also somewhat relaxed.

But the man drinking tea frowned slightly.

"what happened to you?"

The person opposite noticed that his expression was different and couldn't help but ask.

The man shook his head:

"I always feel that this thing seems to be going too smoothly...

"What's going on with the eldest princess?"

"There is no result in entering the palace to meet the saints.

“Even today, there are some things that we can’t do anything about.

"Although this matter is small, it is significant."

When the man said this, he couldn't help but smile:

"I just remembered a saying... A gentleman can be bullied."

"Ok?"

"Is not it?"

The man said:

"If it were an evil heretic, and it was just an irrelevant life, who would take it seriously?

“Only these pretentious gentlemen and heroes will be troubled by this.

“And I believe that human life is greater than heaven!

"No one can see, there are countless dead, why did the sky fall?"

The tea drinker opposite burst into laughter.

Gently turn your fingers on the tea cup:

"Jiang Ran...is he a gentleman?"

"Is not it?"

"How's Yuwenting doing?"

"The head that fell was covered in blood..."

The two of them fell silent.

In the courtroom, Yuwenting suddenly fell and his head was covered with blood. Even though no one saw it and there was no evidence, everyone knew that Jiang Ran did this.

Such a person... would be a gentleman?

……

……

"The instigator in front of the door has been found.

"I went there and found nothing.

"They know so little."

Outside the prison cell of Gyeonggi Prefecture, Tang Shiqing stood there quietly, looking at Jiang Ran who was sitting in the cell.

Occasionally, my eyes caught a glimpse of those wooden prison doors, and they felt a little strange.

"In my opinion, those who are arranged to instigate the people at the yamen gate are all outcasts.

“They know very little.

"Hmm...by the way, brother-in-law, where did you pee?"

Tang Huayi's voice came from inside the cell.

Jiang Ran looked back at her helplessly:

"There's a bucket on the side."

"How to use it?"

Tang Huayi looked at Jiang Ran.

"...Can I still use one to show you?"

Jiang Ran said with a dark face:

“Hurry up and get out.

"I've been able to sit in jail peacefully, so that you can no longer feel the feeling of being in jail."

"How does it feel to be in jail?"

Tang Huayi came up to Jiang Ran, sat down next to him, and said with a smile:

"Isn't it interesting? Why don't you go out for a walk and I'll take your place and sit there for a while?"

"Stop making trouble. The jailer will come later and it won't be easy to explain."

Tang Shiqing felt that her sister was getting more and more outrageous, so she couldn't help but stop her:

"If you are discovered, you will have to kill someone...it would be too troublesome."

"...There is no need to kill someone."

Jiang Ran pinched his eyebrows and said in a deep voice:

“Those people don’t know anything, and that’s understandable.

“The point is never how much they know, but whether they live or die afterwards.

"You have to run around for a while these days, so I won't go out. It's just a good place to hide and be quiet.

"But this case is just the beginning...

"You just need to use all your strength to investigate. The important thing is to use your strength."

Tang Huayi glanced at Jiang Ran strangely:

"Shouldn't you be the one using force?"

This may sound like nothing... but Jiang Ran always feels that every word Tang Huayi says now has a meaning.

Unconsciously, I start thinking about unhealthy things.

After being slightly entangled, he decided to cover Tang Huayi's mouth.

Tang Huayi made a whining sound, but couldn't break free from Jiang Ran's grasp, and soon she was lying on Jiang Ran's lap.

Tang Shiqing nodded:

"I see."

"Well...Okay, there's not much else.

"By the way, let Zhao Chen inform Yu Manman and save the life of Shenjian Wusheng. This person is extremely important."

"it is good."

Tang Shiqing agreed:

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Seeing this, Jiang Ran whispered to Tang Huayi:

"The long mouth is for eating, not for you to talk nonsense!"

With that said, he let go of Tang Huayi.

Tang Huayi suddenly jumped out of Jiang Ran's arms and out of the cell.

When she crossed the wooden wall of the cell, she turned around, and her bones were allowed to be flattened and rounded by her without any hindrance.

With a little step, she was already standing beside Tang Shiqing.

Sticking out his tongue at Jiang Ran:

"You know how to bully me! Come out and beat me if you can... Hey, hey, I'm just saying, you don't have to come out..."

Seeing Jiang Ran getting up, he was about to squeeze out of the cell.

Although he doesn't know the Heavenly Secret Transformation Technique, he once obtained a [Snake Walking Technique]. This skill comes with a clavicle technique, so he can get out directly without destroying the cell door.

Tang Huayi was so frightened that she ran away.

He knew that if Jiang Ran caught him again this time, he would definitely be in trouble, so he ran very fast.

"...This kid must have put all his extra points into agility."

Jiang Ran looked at Tang Huayi who was running away dumbfounded.

Tang Shiqing couldn't understand Jiang Ran's words, but she smiled:

"I'll help you take care of her."

"Well, just give me a little lesson. I'm getting more and more arrogant. No matter what, I'm going to go to heaven..."

Jiang Ran said this, stretched out his hand to tidy up Tang Shiqing's hair, and said softly:

"be careful."

"Don't worry."

As Tang Shiqing spoke, she looked at Jiang Ran, with stars shining in her eyes. Finally, she smiled slightly and took a step back. Her figure was like a cloud of smoke, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Ran felt lost for a moment, shook his head slightly and stepped into the cell.

There were fine wines and delicacies on the table, and there were no weeds on the bed, which was covered with soft quilts.

There is also a desk specially placed in the room, and the four treasures of the study are fully prepared.

If you need anything, just say hello and the yamen servant will come to you and listen to your instructions at any time.

This is not jail... in the final analysis it is just temporary detention.

But this treatment is even more considerate than in an inn.

Jiang Ran had not changed his clothes, he was still the same, and even his weapons and belongings were not taken away.

He raised the wine gourd casually, took a sip, took another bite of vegetables, and nodded:

"It's not bad..."

Then he could hide here with peace of mind.

Since arriving in the capital, he has never stopped for a day.

I run around everywhere every day, but this is a rare moment of free time. After eating and drinking, I ran to the side to write and draw.

Occasionally, I would rummage around in the cell to see if I could find anything interesting.

In the end, he really found the hole dug by the unknown number of residents in this cell... obviously with the intention of escaping.

However, it didn't take long for the hole to be dug before it came to an end.

Jiang Ran felt it for a while and felt that the prisoner must have been extremely desperate.

Time passes like this minute by minute.

Changes in the outside world are always happening.

Different pieces of evidence would be submitted every day, first reaching the hands of the eldest princess, then sent to the government office, and finally placed on Emperor Jin Chan's Dragon Bookcase.

But the result is still the same as before.

No matter how many possibilities were raised, there was no evidence to prove that Jiang Ran really did this.

There is no evidence to prove that Jiang Ran did not do this. In the blink of an eye, the scenes of three and four days flashed by.

Even if the Gyeonggi government office has public opinion at the forefront, it cannot really keep a person in detention like this.

This is not in compliance with court law.

After the people had gone through the hustle and bustle in front of the hall that day, no one was too worried about this matter, which was the topic of conversation after dinner.

Except for the two old couples whose daughters died.

However, because the matter involved Jiang Ran, the eldest princess also arranged for them properly.

Promise them that no matter what, they will find the real culprit so that the girl can rest in peace in heaven.

When the eldest princess spoke so softly, the old couple could only shed tears of gratitude.

Even the old man's wife's madness has improved a lot.

Then on this day, Dong Baihe finally gave the order and let Jiang Ran go because he couldn't settle it.

Jiang Ran left the government office cleanly.

We returned to the princess mansion that night.

After a short rest for the night, Dong Baihe came to visit again early the next morning...

He looked at Jiang Ran with a complicated expression:

"Master Jiang... please come with us again.

"Last night, the whole family of the shop owner of 'Huiying House' was killed."

Jiang Ran listened silently and then asked:

"This time, someone saw me as the perpetrator again?"

"Not really..."

Dong Baihe sighed:

"But this time, next to the body, there were words like [murderer Jiang Ranye] left behind."

Most of them can write, but those who actually kill people may not leave their names behind.

This is as if there is no three hundred taels of silver here.

No fool would do it, unless the person is really talented and bold.

Although Jiang Ran does not meet the characteristics of a fool, there are some boldness in talented people...

In addition to the one a few days ago, now this happened again.

Even if Dong Baihe wanted to suppress it, he couldn't suppress this matter.

Especially early in the morning, His Royal Highness had already received an oral message.

Dong Baihe had no choice but to visit again.

After hearing this, Jiang Ran didn't waste any time and followed Dong Baihe to the Yamen.

This time the road was no longer peaceful.

Yuwen Ting's words came true. Jiang Ran had no problems when he was in the cell.

As soon as he came out, he knew something had happened.

Even those who are not smart enough have begun to doubt whether Jiang Ran really did this?

Therefore, he was welcomed by the people along the way.

Many people politely hoped that Jiang Ran would leave Hexi quickly and not harm innocent people.

Some people also asked him to leave the capital and never come back...

All in all, it’s all there.

There is almost no difference in the subsequent process.

Entering the lobby, Dong Baihe asked about the time and place. What was Jiang Ran doing?

Jiang Ran answered truthfully.

Then he was detained again.

But this time, things were more serious than last time.

Last time only one person died, this time the whole family was completely wiped out.

So after several days of investigation, the entire capital was thrown into a haze.

In the end, because there was not enough evidence to prove that Jiang Ran did this... he had to be released again.

But it was the same as last time... Early the next morning, Dong Baihe came again.

He looked at Jiang Ran and felt embarrassed.

Jiang Ran looked helpless when he saw this:

"That's all, let's go..."

He is already familiar with it.

Dong Baihe hurriedly said goodbye to the eldest princess.

But this time when they arrived at the gate of the government office, they saw a large group of people wearing sackcloth and mourning. After seeing Jiang Ran, they rushed over with fierce eyes:

"Why wasn't you the one who died?"

Because they can't kill me...

Jiang Ran sighed in his heart, but he also knew that at this level, it was really close.

You can't find them if you look for them.

But no more people can die in the capital...

So when the whole thing went on again until Jiang Ran was acquitted.

Jiang Ran returned to the princess mansion and packed his bags:

"Eldest Princess, it's not because Jiang is unwilling to stay in the capital to protect you.

“There’s really nothing I can do…

"The people behind the scenes are not willing to show up. If I stay in the capital for one day, I don't know how many people will die for this.

"The best way is for me to leave the capital from now on.

"After the eldest princess sets off, you and I will meet up on the road.

"Please take care of yourself during this period of time."

The eldest princess’s face was as dark as water:

"You and I will contact you again after we leave the capital."

"it is good."

Jiang Ran nodded in agreement and left.

In front of the princess's house, the carriage is ready.

This time the carriage was different from before...

The carriage is huge, like a house.

There are two floors, upper and lower, and there are rooms in the middle.

Thirteen horses are placed in front of the carriage to prevent it from being unable to pull the carriage.

This is Jiang Ran who drew the drawings in the cell some time ago and took advantage of the moment when he was released to visit the subordinates of Marquis Wuwei.

Combined with several skilled craftsmen introduced by the eldest princess.

The group spent more than ten days and thousands of taels of silver to build the carriage.

When the eldest princess looked at the finished product, she didn't want to give it back to Jiang Ran, she just wanted to keep it for herself.

However, considering that this was Jiang Ran's thing after all, he could only hand it over to Jiang Ran honestly.

Now looking at Li Tianyu and Luo Qingyi, one sitting on the left and the other on the right driving the carriage, Jiang Ran and the others entered the carriage directly, opened the window and said goodbye to her.

This made the eldest princess almost no longer feel sad about parting.

I just want a carriage like this.

But as the carriage set off, the group of people gradually disappeared from sight.

After all, the eldest princess couldn't help but feel a little sad.

But soon, she took a deep breath and said softly:

"Prepare the sedan chair, I want to enter the palace to meet the saint!"

……

……

It’s still the same tea room.

It's already midnight.

The tea in the cup has gone cold, but the tea drinker just looked out the window in silence.

"Jiang Ran has really left, and his carriage is particularly conspicuous.

"Our people followed him all the way. He noticed something and killed a few, but he didn't notice that there were masters following him secretly.

"In addition...he also cured Shen Tulie of Shanhaihui during this period of time.

"Now Shentu Lie has returned to Shanhaihui, and there is no change.

"As for Baizhenhui, it's also peaceful."

"It may not be peace."

The tea drinker placed the teacup on the table and spoke softly:

"Today the eldest princess enters the palace to meet the saint, and the departure date has been set, which will be in three days.

"In addition, she and Jiang Ran agreed to meet at Buli Village outside the capital.

"Bu Li Zhuang is only two days away at most.

"Jiang Ran will go first. Even if they want to meet up after going back, they will have to spend a whole day before they can meet up.

“So, we still have four days left.

"Besides, do you know what kind of request the eldest princess made this time?"

"any request?"

"She asked the Holy One to escort her to Buli Village!"

"what?"

The face of the person opposite suddenly changed, but he was suddenly overjoyed:

"Seriously!? Did the Holy One agree?"

"The Holy One loves this sister the most...so he agreed.

"When the time comes, Baizhenhui, Shanhaihui, and Daoist Sect Master Dao Que will all accompany him to protect him."

The man drinking tea exhaled softly:

“So, if you can’t kill the eldest princess within three days.

"Once the eldest princess has been dragged, we will set off... to Qing Country.

"That thing is probably going to be extremely difficult."

"No matter how hard it is, you have to do it!"

The eyes of the person opposite were shining brightly:

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and there will never be a second chance!!”

“But…this opportunity is too weird.

"I don't intend to take risks, and if my guess is correct... the eldest princess's head will be delivered soon."

"what?"

The man opposite was startled, and just as he was about to stand up, he heard the sound of flapping wings.

A white carrier pigeon landed in front of the window. The man drinking tea reached out and took the secret letter from the pigeon's leg.

He just glanced at it and frowned:

"I missed...

"Jiang Ran seems to have been prepared.

"A sword makes no sound but a sword has no life. Now I am a guest in the princess's mansion.

"Everyone who went there died under the Seven Swords of Wusheng."
