Chapter 16: The Barbarian
Several people waited anxiously for half an hour before Qian Shilang hurriedly arrived wiping his sweat.
"Lord Wang, General Xu received his appointment the day before yesterday and went to Jingzhou to take up his post."
The government official replied to Wang Shaoqing's words, and Uncle Ling Guo and Ming Ruonan both sneered. The heart doesn't go early or late, and as soon as Ming Ruonan is finished, he will slip away, but he will pick a time.
Seeing that Qian Shilang finally took a breath, looking at the bunch of unprovoked lords in the hall, his legs were weak, and he hurriedly stammered and went straight to the topic: "It's just a few mountain bandits who are not enough to worry about, and the lower officials don't want to worry about the nobles in the capital, so they think about dealing with it themselves." ”
Ming Ruonan: "Oh? According to what Qian Shilang said, after you interrogated General Xu, you really decided that it was a mountain bandit? ”
Qian Shilang only thought that one more thing was better than one less thing, how could he think that there would be a follow-up to this matter, and when he heard Ming Ruonan's question, he only instinctively replied for a while: "That girl thinks ......"
Tang Yuan kicked the person who was kneeling on the ground, and the two immediately said: "We are just a small sect that collects money to do things, but we don't feel like mountain bandits!" ”
"That'...... Maybe it's me...... It's my mistake......" Qian Shilang was sweating profusely, "this, they committed suicide by poisoning before the trial was finished, I don't know!" ”
"You talk nonsense! Our brothers came out to earn money, but if the money is not earned, who is stupid enough to put their lives into it? Only fools take poison! ”
"That's it, poison is so expensive, where can we afford it!"
Qian Shilang didn't expect the two people on the ground to say this, and when they looked at their outfits, they were exactly the same as the assassins that day!
"Qian Shilang, you interrogated these assassins, although they are gone, there is always physical evidence, right?"
After King Rui mentioned this, Qian Shilang suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Look at my brain, bring it!" Grab it! ”
Qian Shilang's subordinates came in with a few swords and saluted everyone: "Back to your lords, this is the weapon brought by the mountain bandits that day. ”
The Rui Dynasty's subordinates signaled, and a well-dressed old gentleman with a goatee took a step forward, picked up the sword on the ground, and examined it.
"This is the sign of the Yunlu Gate! Ladies and gentlemen, please see, the emblem engraved on this sword is an egret! ”
When Wang Shaoqing saw this situation, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, it must be this Jianghu sect seeking revenge!" ”
Qian Shilang also hurriedly echoed: "This Yunlumen is too hateful, whether it is robbing money or seeking revenge, it is a big crime!" Wang Shaoqing might as well ...... quickly"
"Wait!" Ming Ruonan interrupted a few people's embarrassing plays, touched the jade bracelet and said coldly, "It's a coincidence, the folk girl and this Yunlumen master are old acquaintances. ”
The staff who had just come out of the ranks had a stiff face, and before he could think of a countermeasure, his stupid prince spoke again: "It must be that he has a grudge against you and hates you!" ”
Ming Ruonan glanced at King Rui lightly: "It's not a secret, but all the famous Jianghu sects you call are respected by the people's daughters, you might as well go and inquire, which one dares to stab me?" I respect him as a man! ”
King Rui looked at the staff in embarrassment, and the staff could only remedy: "Miss Ming, there is no basis for what you say, even if they don't show it, it's hard to guarantee that they are disrespectful to you in their hearts." ”
"What Mr. said is reasonable, but ......" Ming Ruonan slowly hooked the corners of his mouth, "The master of Yunlu Gate happened to have given me a sword, why don't you compare the two?" ”
Lu Beibei said and pulled out his sword, and everyone present was stiff, according to this situation, this Ming Ruonan was ready to take them before he came!
However, King Rui's staff was extremely confident in the Yunlumen weapon he made, and he had accidentally picked up a Yunlumen sword, and the imitation weapons this time were all copied from that sword, and there would be no mistakes. So the old man with the goatee was just about to take the sword in Lu Beibei's hand, but he saw Lu Beibei take his hand back again.
"Mr. Lao, wait a minute." Lu Beibei said as he removed the jade pendant from his waist and hung it on the hilt of the sword, "Let's distinguish it first, lest you refer to the deer as a horse after a while." ”
Wang Shaoqing's face changed suddenly, and he pointed at Lu Beibei and said angrily: "You kid, why do you talk like this!" ”
Lu Beibei handed the sword to the goatee staff, and bowed respectfully to Wang Shaoqing: "Since Lord Wang thinks I am talking nonsense, then Beibei is waiting for you to judge impartially." ”
Wang Shaoqing's face turned white for a while, and he cleared his throat in embarrassment, knowing that this goatee was the confidant of His Royal Highness King Rui, so the tone of his speech to him was also extremely respectful: "Sir, can you take a closer look?" ”
The goatee staff raised their heads confidently and presented both swords: "Your Excellency, please see, I have checked below, and the two swords are exactly the same." ”
Seeing that Ming Ruonan stood still and didn't speak, Wang Shaoqing pondered that it was estimated that she had no tricks, and her heart could finally end this matter! He looked at the two swords for a long time, and there was indeed no difference, and he instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the people you couldn't provoke: "The two princes, the uncle of the country, the lower officials have seen it, it is indeed the same, the two adults want to check again?" ”
Liao Shilang and Tang Zhongcheng glanced at each other and hurriedly waved their hands.
"I'll see!" I didn't expect Uncle Guo to smash the field.
Uncle Ling Guo looked at the two swords, and he really didn't know what medicine was sold in Ming Ruonan's gourd, and when he looked up, he saw that this person was still standing with his head held high, standing leisurely.
"Niece and daughter-in-law, is there any difference between these two swords?"
"Naturally." Ming Ruonan replied lightly.
The goatee staff sneered: "Hmph, don't talk about it, there are so many of us, we don't see the difference, but ask the girl to give advice, what's the difference?" ”
Ming Ruonan glanced at the goatee and said coldly: "Then I will reluctantly guide you." North North! ”
Lu Beibei stepped forward: "You may wish to move outside the hall." ”
"You kid, what are you selling?" Wang Shaoqing was too lazy to pay attention, but he saw Uncle Guo put down the bird cage and walked out.
The elders all went out, and King Rui Kang glanced at each other, and had to follow out. The rest of the few dared to stay anywhere, and they all followed out the door.
A bunch of people gathered together, watching Uncle Ling Guo holding his sword and looking at it in the sun, and after a while, he saw the sloppy old man "giggle" and laugh.
"That's wonderful! This sword is engraved with words! ”
Under the glittering reflection, the words on the fitness flickered and flickered, until the angle was aligned, and everyone could see that it was actually engraved!
"This Yunlu Gate, each sword has its own number, so Beibei's one is true, and the so-called evidence you received is nothing more than a fake made for the purpose of planting Yunlumen!"
Qian Shilang sweated like rain, where did he dare to look directly at Ming Ruonan.
Uncle Ling Guo patted his thigh and sighed: "Oh, my nephew and daughter-in-law, you have suffered!" You check! I have to find out who is behind this! ”
"Thank you, Uncle Guo, but I have prepared a small gift for you today."
Ming Ruonan looked at the people on the ground, only to see the two of them trembling and pointing to the person behind King Rui: "It's him!" He hired us! ”
The reason why Ming Ruonan kept these two instead of others at that time was precisely because he saw that they were the small leaders of that group of people, and they should be the ones who connected with the employer. Sure enough, the family member with a big mole on the face of King Rui began to sweat wildly since the two of them were brought up, and he was shaking like a sieve at this time.
When everyone present heard this, their faces changed, and King Rui was also nervous and asked the goatee strategist for help. I saw that the old gentleman was frowning, obviously caught off guard, but he still pointed to the two people on the ground and said angrily: "Don't spew blood!" ”
King Kang was so happy in his heart that he couldn't wait to slap his face, and raised his chin at his subordinates, and his subordinates immediately understood, and kicked King Rui's big mole out of the crowd with one kick.
The big mole trembled and knelt on the ground, and the discerning person understood what was going on at a glance.
Ming Ruonan turned his head to King Rui, and said in a cold tone: "Dare to ask the prince, how to deal with this situation now?" ”
The strategist shook his head at King Rui, who was about to die and harden his mouth to the end, but as soon as he was about to speak, a large knife shook on the side, and then blood splattered, and the frightened eyes of the family stared directly at the person who cut him, but he didn't even have time to wail, and fell to the ground.
Everyone present was stunned, and King Rui was so frightened that he fell directly to the ground. Wang Shaoqing finally stabilized his trembling self, patted his thighs and wailed: "His Royal Highness King Kang! What are you doing? ”
King Kang returned the knife to the official beside him who was still stunned, took the handkerchief handed by the family and wiped his hands, the expression on his face was indifferent, as if what he had killed just now was just livestock.
"Since he is the culprit, then he should be punished with capital punishment, do you say, fifth brother?"
Ming Ruonan snorted coldly, and arched his hand towards King Kang: "The people's daughter, thank you for presiding over justice." She glanced at everyone present, and was really disdainful in her heart, "Let's go." ”
As she spoke, she led the people of the Ice Sect to turn and leave, and the people who were still kneeling on the ground were already too frightened to move. After reacting, he hurriedly crawled out of the door on all fours, crying: "Miss Ming, please save us, please ......"
But there is still the shadow of the people of the Ice Sect.
Tang Yuan's face was wrinkled, and he was still depressed about the person just now.
"Master, this person from the capital...... It's not good! Barbarous! ”
"Poof!" Ming Ruonan couldn't hold back her fun, "You want them to hear this, don't laugh and lose your teeth, people say that the southwest barbarians, the southwest barbarians, say that we are barbaric, why do you still dislike others?" ”
Lu Beibei couldn't be happy at all, and said worriedly to Ming Ruonan: "Young master, I thought that this King Kang was also a straw bag, but today he went down with this knife, which not only showed that we were aggressive, but also confirmed that King Rui sent someone to assassinate you, and this King Rui didn't even have a chance to fight back." ”
"Daddy said, the people in this capital have a lot of hearts and eyes, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation!" Ming Ruonan patted the two small ones with a smile, and walked back happily, "Whatever, a group of clowns who jump off the beam, can't afford any big waves." Sooner or later, this matter will reach His Majesty's ears, and if he pretends to be deaf and dumb, then no one will pay attention to how we can avenge our grievances. ”
Tang Yuan was still disgusting, and the whole person couldn't wait to hang on Lu Beibei, Lu Beibei helplessly broke his head outward: "Then let's just forget it?" ”
Ming Ruonan stretched and said with a smile: "What's the hurry?" Sooner or later let them come back. Don't they want the throne? Let's let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sit tight. Why should you use knives and guns to retaliate against people, it hurts dignity. ”
Lu Beibei finally smiled, and Lehehe helped his senior sister into the carriage: "That's it!" ”
