Ji Yanning's voice not only made Cai Meng stunned for a moment, but even the faces of those mountain bandits were a little shocked.

I didn't expect that there were still people blocking this trail.

It's just that before they could react, the guards around Ji Yanning had already been dispatched, and suddenly appeared in front of them with lightning speed, only to see the sword qi falling, and several mountain bandits around Cai Meng had already been killed.

"Kill them!" the big boss could only shout when he saw these guards who suddenly appeared, clenched the big knife in his hand, and immediately joined the fight.

At the fork in the road, it suddenly became chaotic.

Cai Meng originally thought that he was going to die under the knife of these mountain peaks, but he didn't expect to suddenly kill Ji Yanning, he was shocked, but looking at this chaotic fighting scene, Cai Meng just wanted to leave here earlier.

He was about to leave quietly, but he took two steps back, and his intention was discovered by Jinhe, and he slashed at Cai Meng's calf with a sword!

"Ahh

The second master saw that the martial arts of these people killed were too high, and if they continued like this, they would be finished sooner or later.

The people in the stockade were all taken out by the three masters to resist Duan Wufang's officers and soldiers, and now these people are not the opponents of Ji Yanning's guards at all.

The second master saw Ji Yanning on the side, a trace of light flashed in his eyes, and then he raised his knife and slashed in the direction of Ji Yanning! But before he could come to Ji Yanning's face, he was suddenly kicked in the abdomen by a black shadow, and the whole person fell to the ground heavily.

He was holding the big knife tightly in his hand, and was about to get up and get close to Ji Yanning again, when a pair of black boots fell in front of his eyes like this, and before he could react to what was going on, there was a pain in his neck, and he had already lost his breath.

"Ah Che!" Ji Yanning looked at Rong Che who suddenly appeared, his eyes were full of joy.

Rong Che killed the second master, and then slashed a few more bandits, and then walked to Ji Yanning's side and asked, "Didn't you let you stay in the inn, why did you come here!"

His tone was questioning, a little worried.

Ji Yanning said: "I didn't come by myself, I came with Duan Shaoqing, and he was leading people to attack the cottage." ”

Rong Che took a few more steps back and protected her from being splashed with the blood of these people.

The bandits brought a lot of people, but Ji Yanning's guards were not inferior at all, and they quickly cleaned up this group of bandits.

Looking at the bandit boss who fell to the ground and was covered in it, Ji Yanning knew that this person must be the bandit leader, so he asked the guards to tie him up.

"After catching the bandit leader and Cai Meng, this time I have gained a lot. Ji Yanning said, looking at these two people, she couldn't wait to beat them up.

Rong Che was relieved when he heard that Duan Wuflaw had come to Liangzhou, so he led people to sweep away the people in the cottage, and cooperated with Duan Wuflawless to fight the bandits from behind the cottage.

flanked back and forth, and took down the entire bandit village in one fell swoop.

The bandits who were fighting with the officers and soldiers saw that the situation was not right and were about to escape, but how did they know that a bunch of people suddenly appeared behind them, and they were caught off guard, so they could only beg for mercy again and again.

This crackdown on bandits came to an end like this, and Cai Meng, Yao Yun and the bandit leaders were all arrested, which saved a lot of energy.

After Rong Che fell into the cave, he was ambushed by bandits, and two of his guards were injured, so he could only hide in the back mountain first, and then find out the situation in the cottage.

Because he had sent a message to Duan Wuflaw before, knowing that Duan Wuflaw would arrive in Liangzhou City in the next two days, he didn't plan to fight Cai Meng, but Cai Meng seemed to be impatient to die by himself, so he had this design.

It took a lot of effort to suppress the bandits, but everyone was too tired to do it, as soon as Ji Yanning returned to the inn, after washing up, he ate some dinner, and fell asleep.

Yuan Jiaojiao saw that she was really hard, but she didn't continue to argue with her, but rested in another guest room.

Duan Wuflaw took over the Liangzhou Mansion and put Cai Meng and others in prison, and then Rong Che and Duan Wuflaw had to deal with this widely implicated human skin lantern case.

In fact, Rong Che just wrote to inform Duan Wufeng to come over, as for Chang'an, he didn't know about Cai Meng here, but he couldn't hide it for long.

Ji Yanning fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already dark, and after washing, he went out of the door of the room and saw Yuan Jiaojiao eating breakfast.

"Yan Ning, let's come over for breakfast. Ji Yanning went down the stairs and asked, "What about Rong Che and Duan Shaoqing?"

Yuan Jiaojiao replied: "They went to the yamen early to deal with things, and the black-hearted prefect of Liangzhou, I don't know how many bad things have been done, and it will probably take a long time to investigate." ”

Ji Yanning nodded, and these things were handed over to Rong Che and Duan Wuflawless to investigate, and they had nothing to do with her.

She did it opposite Yuan Jiaojiao, and Pearl soon came over with breakfast.

Yuan Jiaojiao said: "Duan Wufang said, let me go back to Chang'an with you first, after all, there are too many follow-ups to deal with in this case, anyway, we don't have anything to do if we stay in Liangzhou City, so we can go back to Chang'an together." ”

Ji Yanning was a little surprised when he heard Yuan Jiaojiao say this, and said with a smile: "I thought that with your out-of-the-box temperament, you would have to play in Liangzhou City for a few days." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao heard Ji Yanning's words, pouted, and said, "If I hadn't heard about the human skin lantern, maybe I would still be in this mood." ”

At the mention of the human skin lantern, Ji Yanning's eyes moved slightly, and she remembered the talking lantern again, as well as the crying sound that guided her forward in the cave.

She felt that she was really different from others, and she could still hear their voices.

For some reason, this realization made her a little uneasy.

However, it is already very incredible that she can come back to life and borrow the corpse to resurrect her soul, even if there is anything next to her, she probably doesn't feel strange.

At noon, the two women came over and knelt in front of Ji Yanning to thank her for saving their lives.

If it weren't for Ji Yanning, I am afraid that the two of them would have been murdered a long time ago and become the human skin lanterns under Yao Yun's men, and every time they recalled the days in the dark stone room, they felt terrified.

Seeing that their families were no longer there, life was really not easy, Ji Yanning gave them some money and let them enter Baochang Ji in Liangzhou to get a job, which can be regarded as a stable life.

Liangzhou City finally ushered in a long-lost rain, Qianzhou City in the south is different, Liangzhou has not rained for a long time.

Now that Ganlin is coming, the people who were originally distressed are very happy.

Rong Che returned to the inn with an umbrella, and there were many small droplets of water hanging from his clothes.

Ji Yanning greeted him, saw him, and chuckled: "I thought you were going to live in the Yamen." ”

Rong Che handed the umbrella in his hand to the guard next to him, stepped forward and said, "There is a flawless staring over there, there is nothing wrong." ”

Duan Wuflawless has always been stable in handling things, and he has rich experience in handling cases, even if he is not Rong Che, he can handle the case beautifully in the end.

Ji Yanning asked, "Are they all recruited?"

Rong Che nodded: "It's true that they were all hard bones at the beginning, but it's not impossible to pry their mouths open." ”

He and Ji Yanning roughly talked about the ins and outs of this case.

Before Cai Meng became the prefect of Liangzhou, he had hooked up with Yao Yun, Yao Yun once had a fiancée with outstanding appearance, and later he fell off the list several times, and his fiancée felt that his future was worrying, so she regretted marrying someone else.

Yao Yun was very angry and went to find his fiancée theory, but inadvertently killed her, and finally he peeled off his fiancée's skin and made a lantern in order to keep her by his side.

With this incident, he quickly became obsessed with the feeling of peeling skin, and made a human skin lantern and a human skin painting.

Cai Meng inadvertently got a human skin painting of Yao Yun, and he couldn't put it down, and later dedicated it to the four princes, and was appreciated by the four princes, so he got the position of Liangzhou prefect, and he brought Yao Yun to Liangzhou City together and started a lantern business.

With him, the prefect of Liangzhou, as long as Yao Yun's movements are not obvious, who can know that they want to protect the officials and businessmen?

After listening to Rong Che's words, Ji Yanning asked, "In other words, the four princes have a lot of human skin paintings in their hands, as well as human skin lanterns?"

Rong Che nodded, as for whether the four princes knew that it was made of human skin, who could say clearly?

"Reveal this news to the second prince, and we don't need to bother with the rest of the things. Ji Yanning said.

Knowing that the four princes were involved, the second prince would definitely spare no effort to make the matter bigger, which involved so many people's lives and caused public anger and panic, even if the emperor didn't want to punish the four princes, he had to give an explanation to the people.

The road of the four princes to win the heir is also over.

Rong Che nodded and said, "I was planning to do this. ”

The second prince knew about this, and in order to hit the four princes, he would definitely make a fuss about the matter, even if the four princes were punished in the end, they were afraid that they would also displease the emperor.

After all, how could the emperor be willing to publicize the royal scandal?

This follow-up matter has been arranged, Ji Yanning doesn't have to worry, she said: "Jiaojiao and I will return to Chang'an tomorrow, and you and Duan Shaoqing will close the case first." ”

Rong Che nodded and said, "You bring more guards." ”

Ji Yanning said with a smile: "From Liangzhou to Chang'an, it's just a few days' journey, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”

"Be careful. Rong Che said seriously, "I'll arrange it for you." ”

Since he said so, Ji Yanning couldn't refuse anymore, so let him toss.

She nodded and said, "Then trouble His Royal Highness." ”

Rong Che had a smile in his eyes, and then scratched her nose.

Thinking that the journey that had lasted almost a year was finally completed, and she returned to Chang'an, Ji Yanning naturally felt a lot of emotion in her heart.
