Wen Yuer and Zhao Xian were worried about Jiang Lan, so they kept asking and comforting outside the door at first. In the middle of the night, their voices were gone. Instead, there were unfamiliar whispers and rustling footsteps. Jiang Lan knew that it was someone from the official mansion who followed him and surrounded this place. He didn't bother to bother with it......

The sun sets in the west and rises in the east.

The next morning, the whispers and footsteps that had lasted all night were gone. It was so quiet outside the door that even the usual birdsong was gone.

Jiang Lan got up and opened the door, only to see that the courtyard was empty at the moment. But the moment he opened the door, in all corners of the courtyard, there seemed to be countless eyes staring at him.

"Huh."

He shook his head, turned around and found a small bench to place in the room directly opposite the door, and then sat on it in a daze.

A gentle breeze blew through the door. Listening to the sound of the wind, Jiang Lande seemed to have a piano sound in his ears, and there were two wild geese in the song, which flew over the three mountains and five mountains and flew over the birch forest.

"You said you would give me three things. The first is a flower crown that you have made with your own hands, and the second is a piece of music that you have composed...... So, what's the third thing......"

It was late afternoon.

Jiang Lan heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the yamen, and after a while, a familiar figure stood in front of him.

"It's Lao Xiang, why are you here?"

The person who came here was Xiang Beichuan, and he looked at Jiang Lan. At this moment, his white clothes were mottled with blood, his spirit was sluggish, and his bloodstained cheeks were painted with tear stains - this was almost like the high-spirited young man before!

"I've heard about you. That Yin Pinghou sent someone to the Yang'an Guan camp last night to ask about you......" Xiang Beichuan couldn't bear to see Jiang Lan like this now, he turned his head over, "Brother Jiang, I really don't know what you think." If you kill someone, you will kill, why are you still staying here, why don't you run? ”

"Run? Where to run? Jiang Lan shook his head a little dumbfoundedly, "The little master is the Heavenly Evil Lone Star, the Evil Star!" Wherever you run, you will bring misfortune to others. Didn't you Lao Xiang just get to know me and end up with the whole village being wiped out? ”

"What stupid are you talking about? Yu Jialing's matter should be blamed, and it should also be blamed on the head of the blind man Xu, what does this have to do with you? Xiang Beichuan didn't understand what Jiang Lan meant, and he said in a deep voice, "General Situ ordered me to come and arrest you...... You know what he means, right? ”

"What do you mean?"

"Oops! Are you stupid or are you pretending to be confused! General Situ obviously knew that the two of us had a friendship, so he deliberately sent me to bring troops here, clearly wanting to let you live! ”

“…… Do you mean that you want the master to escape? Live that fateful life again? Jiang Lan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Old Xiang, you still have to do business, the master doesn't want to bother others anymore." The days of fleeing incognito, the master has had enough......"

"You!"

Jiang Lan ignored Xiang Beichuan, who was speechless in shock, but got up and stood at the door: "Listen to the people hiding outside the door!" The master's real name is Jiang Lan, and he is a key criminal who has been wanted in the northwest for more than a year! If you want the master's head, come and get it! The master will never resist! ”

Jiang Lan shouted, but saw that there was still silence in the courtyard.

"It's all sent by the imperial court, why hide your head and show your tail!"

"Brother Jiang, what are you doing here?" Xiang Beichuan grabbed Jiang Lan, "Don't you want to die?" ”

"Huh, life? The master got his life, and he should have lost it a long time ago. Jiang Lan shook his hand and broke free of Xiang Beichuan, and then stepped out of the door, "If you don't come out again, the master will leave!" ”

Seeing that Jiang Lan came out, the messengers hiding in the shadows finally couldn't help but rush out from everywhere. They held swords in their hands and faced Jiang Lan, but none of them dared to approach.

"Don't be so nervous, the master won't eat you again."

Jiang Lan said, and at the same time took the long knife behind his back, and then pulled out the dagger from his waist and threw them to the ground.

"Take the master away."

……

Jiang Lan got his wish and went to the Yinping County Prison.

In this Yinping prison, the prisoners are basically thieves and hooligans, and there are few people like him who are responsible for murders, so he naturally lives in a "single room".

That night, the county magistrate of Yinping County personally raised the sentence and interrogated Jiang Lan. Jiang Lan confessed to the killing. As for the "murder of twenty-three households" written in the previous wanted notice, Jiang Lan denied it. According to his words: "The master is also dead, why do you still have to put those shadowless crimes on the master!" ”

The magistrate of Yinping County liked his single-mindedness very much, and simply convicted him, and asked the clerk of the yamen to write the pleadings and case files, and prepare to submit them to the county government the next day.

Jiang Lan didn't take life and death seriously, but he worried about Xiang Beichuan who was outside. He has found Han Yi, Situ Bao and others many times, wanting them to come forward to save Jiang Lan's life. Helplessly, although they are in charge of military power, they are also quite jealous of Yinping Hou......

A month passed in a hurry.

On this day, Jiang Lan lay in the cell as usual. He sat cross-legged on the ground, a dry straw in his mouth, and stared blankly at a wall, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

"Criminal, Jiang Lan, you come out." Behind him came the hoarse voice of the cell boss.

"Oh? Are you going to ask the master? Why didn't you give the master a 'road drink'? Jiang Lan turned around and asked lightly.

"You kid, are you really not afraid of death?" The cell boss said, "I'm not here to send you to the court, it's an adult who wants to interrogate you." ”

"Arraignment? How many times do you want the master to say it, those twenty-three families were really not killed by the master. ”

"Stop talking nonsense, come out with me!"

With that, two jailers stepped forward and opened the door. They put shackles on Jiang Lan and shackles as thick as their wrists on their feet.

Jiang Lan followed the cell leader and was taken out of the prison under the custody of two jailers. They walked around the yamen and came outside an inconspicuous room.

In front of the door, two guards dressed in white were standing. Jiang Lan recognized at a glance that these two people were the guards of the "Young Master".

"Sure enough, it's you!"

As soon as she entered the door, Jiang Lan saw the young master in white sitting at the table, and there were two guards standing behind her.

The young master saw Jiang Lan's reaction like this, but it was not strange at all. She stood up and circled around Jiang Lan while looking him up and down.

"Jiang Xiaoshui, real name Jiang Lan. claims to be a person from Shangyong County, but there is no accent of Shangyong County. A year ago, Yu Jialing teamed up with Xu Blind and Xiang Beichuan to intercept and kill the imperial court officials, but they didn't expect to be killed by someone to unload the mill and kill the donkey. In desperation, he hid in the greedy wolf army under a pseudonym. Later, the wild wolf broke a battle and relied on his extraordinary martial arts to snipe the commander of the Qiang tribe. It was a great achievement, but he also offended his boss because of this, and was secretly demoted to this Yinping City by Mingsheng...... Later, because the person he loved was killed, in a fit of rage, he made a big fuss in the Yinping Marquis Mansion...... Am I right? The young master slowly said some of Jiang Lan's experiences, and then stood in front of Jiang Lan and looked at him with a smile.

Listening to the other party say his own things little by little, although Jiang Lan was a little shocked in his heart, but after thinking about it, these didn't matter to him, a dying person.

He nodded, "Yes." That's right! Can the master go back and continue to wait for death? ”

Seeing Jiang Lan's reaction, the young master frowned. She waved her hand, and the two guards stepped back out of the room.

"Jiang Lan, Yu Jialing that night, it was you...... Did you save me? ”

"Yes." Jiang Lan did not deny it outright.

"Why?"

"No why, the master wanted to save it, so he took action." Jiang Lan said expressionlessly, "If you want to thank you, next year, you will burn some paper money for the master." ”

"You just want to die like that?"

Jiang Lan smiled bitterly: "It's not that I want to die, but I can't find the meaning of living...... The master has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he learned Wen Taowu with his father-in-law. Since I was a child, I have fantasized that I can join the army to be a general on the battlefield, or become a generation of heroes in the rivers and lakes......"

At this point, he paused, "But, since the descent. The people and things I see every day are all tearing at the master's previous fantasies. In the rivers and lakes, there is no chivalry, and most of them are deceitful. In the court, the rotten wood is eaten by the officials, birds and beasts, the gate valve clan controls the government, and the officials at the bottom also try their best to scavenge the people's fat and ointment.

Don't mention anything else, let's just say that the young master of the Jin family, he regards human life as a mustard and women as playthings. and Zhao Ye in Hanzhong City, who even flouted the law on the street...... It's no wonder that the laws of the Great Liang Kingdom are not set for the common people? Which of the truly powerful men is under the control of the law? The enemy, the master, has never been the young master Jin, it is this world that sings and dances on the surface, but is actually rotten! ”

Jiang Lan said, a little emotional, and a pair of fists were clattered by him: "The young master has offended Lulin Dao and the government." Originally, I wanted to stay incognito in this Yinping City for a lifetime and live some ordinary days with my beloved, but the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes...... The master is really tired...... It's really pointless to live......"

I don't know if I was touched by Jiang Lande's words, but the young master Liu Yinan's face began to become solemn. After a while, she said in a deep voice: "The world may not be good, but that is not the reason for your suicide. You have a mastery of art, if you rely on the frame of the monarch and the auxiliary country, you may not be able to change the way of the world! ”

"Change? Master, a dying man, what do you rely on to change? ”

"What if you were given a chance to be in a high position?" Liu Yinan asked.

Jiang Lan was taken aback by her words, he stared at Liu Yinan for a long time, and then shook his head with a wry smile: "How is it possible, the young master has already offended people all over the ......" He paused, "If the young master can really dominate the ups and downs of the world, the young master must let the old in this world have an end, the strong will be useful, and the young will grow...... The master will definitely complete a world of great harmony! ”

"Well said!" Liu Yinan nodded and said, "From today on, you will be from my Great General's Mansion!" ”
