Chapter 31: Foothold
At this moment, Jiang Ran couldn't help but gasp.
I couldn't help but speak:
"This can't be!!"
How is this possible?
A group of people were born out of thin air and occupied such a big foundation in this Cangzhou Mansion.
But there's no place to come from?
So how did they live so peacefully?
Either way, there has to be a process of integration.
But...... Now, according to Master Liu's statement, these people just appeared out of thin air, and everyone took them for granted.
This...... Isn't that what the hell? Could it be that this family is not a demon or a fairy?
Master Liu's face was also full of disbelief.
But in the face of Jiang Ran's words, he could only smile bitterly:
"This ...... This...... Hey, Jiang Shaoxia, I can't hide it, my heart is also chaotic now......
"What the hell is going on?"
Jiang Ran originally planned to come over and ask someone who understood.
It's good now, I can't ask people who understand.
The two of them stared at each other, you look at me, I look at you, each confused.
In the end, it was Jiang Ran who took the lead in breaking the silence.
"Master Liu, there is another reluctant invitation here."
"Jiang Shaoxia, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Master Liu hurriedly spoke.
Jiang Ran described the old drunkard's voice and appearance, and did not say that it was his master, but said:
"I came to Cangzhou Mansion to find this person, firstly, for the truth and Zhang Dongxuan, and secondly, to find this person.
"It's just that I'm a short-term plan, and I'm a newcomer, and I really have nowhere to start in the vast sea of people.
"That's why I'm cheeky and ask Master Liu for help."
"It's easy to say."
Master Liu nodded: "I'll let you inquire in a while, and it is estimated that there will be news soon." ”
"Then there is Master Lao Liu, this kindness, Jiang Ran will never forget."
Jiang Ran clenched his fists and arched his hands.
In fact, he didn't intend to fake this matter.
But now that the Tang family's origin is unpredictable and the purpose is unknown, Jiang Ran is really worried about the life and death of the old drunkard.
"Don't dare."
Master Liu shook his head, and then asked:
"About the Tang family, does Jiang Shaoxia know anything else?"
"No ......"
Jiang Ran scratched his head:
"I'm just a friend of yesterday with them, what can I know......"
"That's just as well."
Master Liu nodded.
After that, the two of them chatted casually.
Jiang Ran never mentioned anything about the Tang family, as if he was just visiting by chance, but he found out about the strangeness of the Tang family, so he came to the mansion to inform him.
The old drunkard has lived all his life with the words 'eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and being cheated and abducted'.
Jiang Ran is also a face-to-ear, although Jiang Ran is unwilling to learn this thing, but after all, he is familiar with it, and at this time, no one can see the slightest flaw.
Speaking of which, Jiang Ran proposed to go and see the case file of the wanted criminal.
Master Liu naturally agreed to this, and immediately led Jiang Ran out of the door, and came to another room in a roundabout way.
In this room, there are all bookshelves, divided into categories, arranged according to the year and month.
Jiang Ran looked at these cases, and suddenly felt a lot of comfort in his heart.
I just think what kind of dossier is this...... This is Danfang!
Master Liu told Jiang Ran a few words and told him that he could read it here, and the case file could not be taken away.
But the sea fishing paperwork can ...... But before you take it away, you need to know that there will be a sound, and let someone draw another one.
Jiang Ran agreed, so he took out one casually, sat at the table and opened it.
Master Liu saw that he was fine, so he turned around and went out.
After closing the door, he trotted all the way to the backyard.
He came to the same courtyard and knocked at the door:
"Your Excellency...... Subordinates have something to report. ”
"Come in."
A deep voice came from the courtyard.
Master Liu hurriedly opened the courtyard door, and he heard the sound of whistling.
As soon as they looked up, they saw that the frail and sickly adults of their family were throwing two huge stone locks like hydrangeas.
This one was thrown out, and he borrowed another one, and when he shook his hand and threw it again, he caught the previous one again.
If you lift weights lightly, you look extremely skillful.
He threw the stone lock casually and said:
"If you have something to say, let it go."
Master Liu didn't dare to go forward, for fear that the stone lock would fall and hit his head again.
This one is less than a hundred or ten pounds, and if it falls on his head, he will be seriously injured if he does not die.
He told Jiang Ran what he said about the Tang family from afar.
"Oh?"
After hearing this, the frail and sickly adults had a little more consternation on their faces.
He caught a stone lock and threw it aside:
"How can such a thing happen?"
"I've asked the official to investigate, and I'll get back soon."
"Yes."
The adult groaned slightly:
"Actually, you don't have to probe...... Jiang Ran has no reason to lie and deceive you and me.
"The Tang family is only afraid that the building is really empty.
"Doing it like this...... How does it make me feel a little familiar. ”
"What did you think?"
Master Liu hurriedly asked.
The adult groaned for a moment, but did not speak, but shook his head and smiled:
"It's okay, the big thing is coming, let's put aside a little bit in advance.
"Let's go down."
The adult waved his hand gently.
Although Master Liu felt that this did not seem to be a trivial matter, he still agreed and bowed to leave.
After Master Liu left, the adult's face became a little solemn.
"The first tax money was sent ten years ago, which means that they have been here for at least ten years.
"Ten Years ......"
He shook his head, went into the study, dipped his pen in ink, wrote down a few words, rolled them and stuffed them into a bamboo tube.
From the birdcage on the side, he took out a white dove and tied a bamboo tube to the white pigeon's feet.
With a shake of his hand, the pigeon soared into the sky.
……
……
Jiang Ran stayed in the palace until evening.
In this afternoon, he read a lot of case files and wrote down a lot of wanted criminals in his mind.
I think that if I meet on the road in the future, I will not meet and not know each other.
And after looking at it this afternoon, Jiang Ran also found a problem.
There are often some differences in the sea fishing documents, some of which are written to be captured alive, and some are written to be dead or alive.
He looked for Daozhen and Zhang Dongxuan, and found that their sea fishing documents all had the words 'death and life aside'.
This made Jiang Ran a little clear in his heart, the reason why he could complete the task by only carrying his head to the mansion.
I'm afraid that it is precisely because of this...... If you change to a person who captures him alive and cuts off his head, most of the tasks will not be completed.
"No, you can't, if you see a wanted criminal, you can cut it."
Master Liu sent to find out the whereabouts of the old drunkard, but there is no news for the time being.
Jiang Ran left the mansion and agreed with him that if there was any news, he would send someone to find Jiang Ran.
Before there was no news about this matter, Jiang Ran couldn't leave this Cangzhou Mansion.
The Tang family went to the empty building, and it was impossible for him to settle there tonight, so he planned to find an inn to live in temporarily.
After walking a short distance, I saw an inn with its door open.
Jiang Ran was not picky, and walked in directly.
As a result, I saw that the hall was overcrowded, and a group of Jianghu people with weapons were in groups, shouting five to drink six, drinking in large bowls, and eating meat in large pieces.
I know this is an inn, but I don't know I think this is a juyi hall on the mountain.
Jiang Ran carried a burden and a knife, and as soon as he entered the door, the group of people all fell on him.
