I'm a bully in troubled times

"Jiang would like to ask, just now I had a face-to-face meeting with the noble prince in the temple, but when I reported my name, why did the noble prince panic so much? It was as if Jiang was the one chasing and killing him."

Cui Man didn't see what happened just now, and was also surprised when he heard the words: "Is that true?"

Gongsun Ke: "This subordinate can testify for your lord."

Cui Manning raised his eyebrows: "This..." Naturally, Jiang Yu couldn't be the one who chased and killed Jiang Zhi, otherwise he wouldn't have to wait until he came from the crown prince to die.

Jiang Yu nominally represented the Marquis of Yan, maybe Jiang Zhi had misunderstood the Yan State?

Jiang Yu knew what Cui Man was thinking at a glance, and he didn't explain it. Anyway, he had no intention of saving Jiang Zhi.But he didn't intend to kill him himself.

When he returned to the post house with the two prisoners, the county magistrate had already known what happened at Baiyun Temple.As the food and clothing parent of Rao County, Yin Ping is actually quite qualified. He has already helped Jiang Yu's subordinates to clean up the mess at Baiyun Temple, and explained the reason to the people.

Most people living on the border have a strong heart. After all, in this war-torn era, there is no telling when a war will break out on the border, and the people will not panic. When the prince was the prince, they were filled with righteous indignation and asked Suiyang Jun to rescue the prince as soon as possible and catch the traitor.

Nowadays, although there are many discords among the various vassal states, the etiquette cannot be abolished. This is a concept deeply rooted in the hearts of all the people.It’s okay to fight, but you can’t use some cunning and unruly means. The prince is the son of the king, and the king is ordered by the king to guard the territory.

Jiang Yu didn't intervene in the matter of interrogating the prisoners, and only sent Gongsun Ke to deal with it, while he went to visit Mingran who was unfortunately imprisoned in the firewood room.After a few days, Mingran ate well and slept well in the firewood room, didn't make noise, didn't plan to run away, and the interrogation couldn't do anything. Willing to let people go.

Pushing open the firewood door, sunlight came in from outside the door. In the simple firewood house, he was obviously lying on the straw with a straw in his mouth, watching a group of ants moving on the ground without blinking.Make a mess from time to time, making the ant colony panic, like facing a big enemy, and playing very vigorously.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ming Ran raised his head and glanced at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu saw that he was so excited to play with such a little thing, so he sat down next to Mingran with great interest.

"Why are you so bored?" Jiang Yu said.

Obviously silent.

Jiang Yu smiled, raised his hand to touch Mingran's waist, Mingran's body tensed up suddenly, and just as he wanted to hide, Jiang Yu held him down again.

"do not move."

Realizing that Jiang Yu was not malicious, he calmed down obviously, Ren Jiangyu groped on his back for a while, sucked out the silver needle, and threw it on the ground, making a slight noise.

"Aren't you afraid that I will run away?" Ming Ran asked.

"It will take a day for the toxicity to fade away, but don't worry, after a day, you will be back to normal without any sequelae." Jiang Yu clapped his hands, and after hearing Mingran's words, he said, "I'm here to put You go."

Mingran looked at Jiang Yu suspiciously.

Jiang Yu said: "I locked you here without evidence, and it's not appropriate to spread the word."

Obviously he didn't know whether to believe it or not, he stood up with difficulty, due to the effect of the medicine, his whole body was weak, so even standing his legs trembled.Mingran staggered to the door like this, held the door frame to rest for a while, then suddenly looked back at Jiang Yu, and asked, "Is there any water?"

Jiang Yu: "What?"

"I want to take a bath." Mingran said, fearing that Jiang Yu would not agree, he added, "I have been imprisoned for such a long time without any reason, and I am not even given a basin of bath water?"

Jiang Yu snorted: "Yes, of course."

With that said, Jiang Yu led Mingran to the West Wing, and asked a servant, "Prepare a guest room for him, prepare some hot water, find a set of clothes, and change."

The boy had never met Mingran before, so he didn't know who this person was. He looked at Mingran's pale face and asked in a low voice, "...do you need to hire another doctor?"

Jiang Yu glanced at Mingran, and said clearly, "No need."

"Okay, let's go."

"Yes."

Jiang Yu followed Mingran into the guest room, and Mingran ignored him. Jiang Yu looked at Mingran with his hands behind his back for a while, and asked, "What's your relationship with Ji Zhong?"

Clearly said: "What do you think?"

Jiang Yu: "I thought you belonged to him, but now it doesn't seem so."

Mingran: "How to say?"

Jiang Yu: "Why didn't you run away with that person that day?"

Mingran: "Who?"

Jiang Yu bent his lips and smiled, very vigilant, and he couldn't cheat at all.

Jiang Yu: "We went to the temple fair today, you know, Jiang Zhi said, so we met Jiang Zhi at the temple fair, and then..."

Obviously look over.

Jiang Yu: "Then he was killed by those masked men."

Mingran paused for a moment, then retracted his eyes, untied his belt, raised his hand, and took off his shirt, revealing his lean upper body, Mingran's body was as white as his face.

Jiang Yu frowned slightly, and noticed that there was a hideous scar on Mingran's stomach, as if pierced with a dagger. Judging from the location, he should have pierced it himself.But apart from that, Mingran's figure is very good-looking, with clear collarbones, and a layer of muscles that are not exaggerated but imply a sense of strength under the skin.

"Looking at what?" Ming Ran asked.

Jiang Yu looked away a little unnaturally: "Are you taking off your clothes so unpreparedly in front of everyone?"

Mingran: "I'm not a woman."

Jiang Yu: "It's a man..."

Mingran: "How masculine are you?"

"..." Jiang Yuxin said it was true, but said in his mouth, "Since you know the name Sui Yangjun, you should know that Suiyang Lord is not good at beauty, women and men are not good at all."

This is true, according to the rumors.

Obviously did not answer.

Jiang Yu said again: "The crown prince died, and you didn't react at all? If this is Ji Zhong's person, it shouldn't be this reaction. With Ji Zhong's personality, he will definitely be furious, and then you will suffer."

Although Mingran didn't make a sound, and the curvature of the corner of his mouth was not obvious, but Jiang Yu saw it clearly, Mingran lifted the corner of his lips, and quickly revealed a hint of disdain and mocking smile, which disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Yu was even more curious about who this person came from.

"If you weren't from Ji Zhong, why did you attack me that day?" Jiang Yu asked again.

Mingran: "I made a mistake."

Jiang Yu was taken aback, and raised his left arm: "I made a mistake, and then gave me a sword? If it wasn't for my kung fu, I would have died in your hands that day."

Mingran pursed his lips: "Sorry." He raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Yu, then paused and said, "I'm going to continue undressing, do you still want to watch?"

"..." Jiang Yu jumped off the table, "I'll go, I'll go."

As soon as he exited the door, he saw Gongsun Ke hurriedly going to his bedroom, Jiang Yu called him to stop.Seeing Jiang Yu, Gongsun Ke hurried over to salute, and looked suspiciously at the door that had just been closed.

Jiang Yu explained: "The one inside is Mingran, I took out the silver needle for him." Knowing that Cui Man might not like it, Jiang Yu said, "Master Cui, the silver needle in his body is poisonous. , If you don’t take it out, the days will be long, and I’m afraid your life will be in danger.”

Gongsun Ke remained silent and didn't speak, thinking that his master's lying skills were getting better and better, so he babbled nonsense and spoke in a decent manner without blushing at all.

"Now the poison is still in his body, he can't escape."

Cui Man seemed to be frightened by Gongsun Ke's method of interrogation just now, and he has not calmed down until now, so he nodded quickly: "I know... Cui knows."

"How's the trial going?" Jiang Yu asked Gongsun Ke.

Gongsun Ke said: "According to their own confession, those two masked men are from the Sun Moon Pavilion of the Jin Kingdom."

"Are people still alive?"

Gongsun Ke: "I couldn't survive the torture, so I died."

Jiang Yu frowned indistinctly, and said with his hands behind his back: "Sun Moon Pavilion..."

The Riyue Pavilion is an organization of the Jin State subordinate to the monarch, directly responsible to the monarch, and obeying the monarch.

Speaking of which, the current king of the state of Jin is still cousins ​​with the second son of the state of Qi. With such a close relationship, it is normal for him to take care of him.

When mentioning this, Cui Man's expression was very ugly, and he was almost furious, thinking that Qi and Jin have been married for many years, and the relationship is as close as a family, but now the king of Jin wants their prince His Highness's life!This motive is easy to understand. If the crown prince is gone, the second son will succeed in his succession. In this way, the new king will be favored by the state of Jin. In the future, the state of Qi will be bound by the state of Jin, and it will be difficult for him to do anything.

"After Cui returns to the capital, he will definitely report this matter to the monarch. Cui will never let me continue to seek skins from tigers!" Cui Man gritted his teeth.

It was getting late at this time, and the search for Jiang Zhi was postponed to the next day.The next day, Jiang Yu followed what he told Cui Man, and took out a wooden box from his carry-on salute. This wooden box was beautifully carved, with two lifelike butterflies carved on the cover.

When the box was opened, there was a black and red-spotted butterfly inside. This butterfly was larger than ordinary butterflies, with its two wings closed. The moment the box lid was opened, it flapped its wings and flew out of the box.

"Follow it."

At such an advanced age, Cui Manhuo saw such a strange thing for the first time, and asked in surprise, "Mr. Suiyang, can this butterfly know the direction?"

Jiang Yu said: "This thing just looks like a butterfly, but it's not a butterfly. It's a Gu cultivated by a witchcraft technique from a small country in the Northeast. I applied special spices to the shoulders of the noble prince yesterday, and the Gu is just I can follow the scent to find the whereabouts of the noble prince."

Hearing that it was a witchcraft technique, Cui Man changed color slightly. After all, this thing doesn't sound like a good thing.

Jiang Yu explained with a smile: "Lord Cui, don't be afraid. No matter how powerful the witchcraft is, it's just a dead thing. The key lies in the person who uses it. Foreign races are ignorant, uneducated, and have bad intentions. Naturally, they will only use it to do harm to the world and reason." However, as long as it is used properly, witchcraft will also give us a lot of convenience."

At that time, Yan State was attacked by many foreign small countries. Those small countries did not know etiquette, did not know ethics, and had a small population, but each of them was born tall and powerful, as mighty as a tiger.So Cui Man only nodded slightly, expressing his understanding.

As the butterfly flew, Jiang Yu, Gongsun Ke, and Cui Man gradually ran to a remote place, until the butterfly stopped at a private house and flew in around the gate.But the three of them couldn't just break in in broad daylight.

Gongsun Ke said: "My lord, this is the mansion of an old squire. He lost his wife in middle age and lost his son in his later years. He has lived alone all these years. There is only an old housekeeper and a few servants in the mansion."

Jiang Yu: "How do you know?"

Gongsun Ke: "This squire is kind-hearted, and he often gives porridge to the homeless on the street. The people in Rao County know him, and his subordinates have also heard it unintentionally."

Jiang Yu nodded: "Go and knock on the door."

However, Gongsun Ke knocked for a long time, but no one came to answer the door.
