Volume 2 Initial Involvement in Officialdom Chapter 58 There is no good wine in wine, and there is no good banquet in the banquet
It was pitch black in Xu Aicai's study, and Jiang Lan took out a fire fold from his body and lit it on fire. And he covered the fire with his hand so that it might not be noticed.
The shimmer shone brightly, and only a few feet of light shone out.
Jiang Lan came to the viewing shelf in the study by the faint light, and he saw the wooden box he saw that day at a glance. When I opened the wooden box, I saw the immortal lock lying in it. In the light of the fire, the golden lock shimmered.
"When this happens, the master must ask about the old eunuch from Xu Aicai's mouth." Jiang Lan muttered softly to himself.
It's not that he hasn't tried to find Xu Aicai's tone between his fingers at the banquet, but as soon as he pretended to ask about the golden lock unintentionally, Xu Aicai became defensive, as if he was afraid that he would worry about his baby, and Jiang Lan had no choice but to give up.
Jiang Lan took out the golden lock, took it into his arms, and then prepared to leave.
"By the way, this is a study!" Jiang Lan suddenly remembered something, he stopped, and walked to the other side of the study instead.
On the other side of the study there is a bookcase, and there is a bookshelf behind the bookcase.
Jiang Lan walked to the bookcase and rummaged through the faint light. He flipped through it for a long time, and finally found a booklet among the piles of books, which he took in his hand and looked through for a while.
"Sure enough!" He couldn't help but sigh lightly, and his expression couldn't help but be a little excited, "This guy really wrote down all his shady deals......
Jiang Lan took the account book in his arms, and then was about to leave. But I suddenly heard a noise outside the door: "You stinky boy, you picked up the piece of silver just now, and you still want to swallow it alone, no way!" There was a lot of noise outside the door, but it was the two guards who had just been led away by Jiang Lan.
"It's you who are blind, and you don't even see the silver under your feet, can you blame me?"
"Lao Tzu doesn't care, if you don't give an explanation today, Lao Tzu will not be finished with you!"
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel like this outside the door, they heard a guard suddenly compromise: "This ...... Otherwise, when the changing of the guard comes, I'll invite you to a drink. You should be satisfied, right? β
"That's pretty much ......"
Jiang Lan in the house had a headache when he heard the words of the two of them, and he originally threw the silver in the courtyard next to him, where the sound could just be heard, and it was some distance. He had thought that it would be late in the day, and that it would take some time for the two guards to find the broken silver that had fallen on the ground. Unexpectedly, after a slight delay on his side, the two of them came back......
There is only one exit from this study, and only the exit has two windows on the wall. It's definitely not okay to just run out like this...... But he can't wait here until the guards change, can he? Although Xu Aicai is a little stupid, he is not a fool. If he hadn't gone back for too long, he would have doubted it......
There is no way, I can only break the fortune again!
Jiang Lan took out the last small piece of broken silver from his bosom - this was the last thing he had saved...... He walked quietly to a window, opened a small crack in the window, and then threw the broken silver in his hand, and heard a "pop", and the broken silver was thrown by him on the door of the opposite room.
"Silver! God, what's wrong today......" The two guards glanced at each other when they heard the voice, and before they could finish their sighs, they rushed to the opposite side together.
Jiang Lan seized the opportunity, hurriedly turned over and jumped out along the window, then closed the window and jumped on the roof lightly......
After about a stick of incense, Jiang Lan returned to the room where he was eating. At some point, there were a few more people at the door of the house, and they turned their backs to the door, looking around, as if waiting for someone.
Seeing Jiang Lan coming over, a subordinate stepped forward: "Son, the dinner is over, please go to the guest room to rest first." β
"Finished?"
"Yes, my young master suddenly had some urgency, so he left first. He left a message and said: I can't accompany Gongzi tonight, and I hope Gongzi Jiang will forgive me. The man said respectfully.
Jiang Lan was a little embarrassed by this sudden situation, but after thinking about it, he also felt that it was just right-anyway, he had already got everything he was going to take, so wouldn't it be right to leave with a donkey just like this?
"That's right...... Since Brother Xu has something to do, it is inconvenient to disturb him...... I'll take my old attendant back......" Jiang Lan said, and he was about to go into the house to find Liu Yinan. When the man saw this, he took a small step and stopped him.
"What do you mean by that?" Jiang Lan was a little annoyed by this person's actions, and his face, which was full of laughter and politeness, also had a little anger on it.
Seeing that the man seemed to expect Jiang Lan to react like this, he replied expressionlessly, "Childe, please go to the guest room to rest." If you want to go back, please go back to your own home......"
"What do you mean? Where's my old henchman? β
Hearing Jiang Lan's question, the next person turned around and glanced at the other people. It seems to be a conspiracy, and it seems to be bold: "Childe, my young master has some important things to do with the old man, and I can't drink the son to leave tonight, and I hope that the son will ......"
"What!" Jiang Lan was shocked, and then regardless of what the person said, he directly pushed him away and entered the room.
In the room, the whole table of dishes that had just been filled has been removed. The whole house was cleaned, but it was empty!
Liu Yinan's girl is gone! It's still with Xu Aicai! Although Liu Yinan's own skills are not low, after all, this is someone else's chassis, and if he disappears like this, I am afraid that there will still be danger.
"Jiang Gongzi." The subordinate outside the door was still calling Jiang Lan, "Please go back and rest first." β
Jiang Lan turned around and rushed out of the house to the next person: "Where did they go?" Jiang Lan looked at the man coldly, and his voice became a little cold.
"They have something to ......" Before he could finish speaking, he felt that his throat was tightened - he was actually choked by Jiang Lan's neck, and the prevarication words behind him also turned into a squeaky whine.
Seeing this, several other people were about to step forward to stop them, but they saw Jiang Lan's figure move, and then several people flew out upside down. One of them flew into the stone lamp in the courtyard and rolled to the ground, then vomited blood and fell unconscious.
I don't know when Jiang Lan's murderous intent began to become heavier and heavier. In the face of these subordinates who have no martial arts, they are also a killer move. One person was killed on the spot!
Jiang Lan turned his head and looked coldly at the subordinate who had just been choked by the neck. At this time, he was squatting on the ground, rubbing his neck with both hands, and at the same time looking at Jiang Lan with a frightened expression.
"Sayβwhere are the people?"
Jiang Lan's hand strength was very heavy just now, and the man didn't seem to have recovered yet. He gulped and dressed roughly, but he didn't answer.
"Hmph." Jiang Lan snorted coldly and walked behind the man at the same time. He pressed the man's shoulder with one hand, held the other's right arm with the other, and threw it back with force.
"Click-" The bone broke.
"Ahh
Half of that person's arm was bent in reverse by Jiang Lan all of a sudden.
"Don't you say it yet?" Jiang Lan said coldly, and at the same time put his hand on the other party's other shoulder.
"Don't ...... Don't, me, I said ......"
"Where's the person?"
He held his severed right arm with one hand and said with a pleading face, "Childe spare his life...... Old sir, he ...... I was taken back to the bedroom by my young master......"
"Where's the bedroom?"
The subordinate raised his left hand and pointed in a direction: "Follow this road, go...... Walking three across the hospital is ......"
Jiang Lan glanced in that direction, then kicked away the subordinate and walked along the road.
He walked along the road through three courtyards and arrived at Xu Aicai's bedroom. There were not a few guards guarding the door of the bedroom as Jiang Lan imagined. It seems that Ai Cai should have wanted to do something unseemly, so he deliberately didn't ask someone to guard the door.
In the bedroom, Liu Yinan was lying flat on the bed, her hands and feet were a little unnaturally stiff, her mouth was wide open, but she couldn't say anything. The swarthy disfigurement on her face had been wiped away and replaced with its original white and flawless face.
Xu Aicai stood beside the bed and looked at Liu Yinan with a lewd smile: "Hehe! Little beauty, little beauty, you said you didn't look good, but you became a stinky old man! A good face is ugly...... Fortunately, young master, I have read countless women, and as soon as I saw you, I knew that you were a peerless beauty...... Hehe, you are Jiang Xiaoshui's private concubine, right? Is he afraid that the main house will know, so he deliberately pretends to be like that?
If you want me to say, it's a shame for a woman like you to follow him. Let's let me love you well, uncle......" As he spoke, he was about to hand over Liu Yinan.
At this moment, the door was kicked open with a "bang".
Xu Aicai looked back: "Jiang, Jiang Xiaoshui?" β
Liu Yinan also saw Jiang Lan who broke into the door, although she couldn't move or speak, her eyes were full of surprise and expectation.
Jiang Lan glanced at Liu Yinan who was frozen on the bed, and then looked at Xu Aicai. He clenched his fists and thought about it, but immediately let go.
"Jiang Xiaoshui, ...... you" Xu Aicai raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Lan, and was about to scold something, but saw Jiang Lan slap him and slap him all over his fat face.
This time, Jiang Lan used only three or four points of strength, but he also fanned that Xu Aicai in place for a full circle.
"Oops-you dare to fight ......"
"Smack-" Before Xu Aicai finished speaking, Jiang Lan backhanded another mouth.
Xu Aicai was completely stunned by his two slaps, he sat on the ground, covered his face with his hands, and looked at Jiang Lan: "Jiang Xiao...... Brother Jiang, isn't it just a little concubine, why don't you beat this young master like this! He originally wanted to go sideways, but remembering that his subordinates had been taken far away, he was afraid that he would have to be slapped if he was stubborn......
"Hand over the antidote." Jiang Lan ignored his words.
"Antidote?" Xu Aicai deliberately asked, "Where is there...... The antidote is here...... Just don't hit me......" He still wanted to prevaricate and delay, but saw Jiang Lan raise his slap again. So, he had no choice but to honestly take out a small jade bottle from his arms.
