Chapter Ninety-Seven: Liu Wenshan
"Just a clue?"
Perennial frowning slightly.
"Exactly."
Wu Niangzi smiled:
"We don't have to force adults to give an explanation, what happened twenty years ago, just being able to investigate clues is already very valuable.
"Once things are beyond the power of adults, we can't force them, right?
"You can't let adults investigate Cangzhou Mansion and Jinyang Mansion.
"It's whimsical."
"Good!"
Perennial nodded:
"I promise you...... But you also have to promise your own officer.
"As long as you find what you want, you will leave Benma County, and you must not hurt any of the people in my county!"
"Adults love the people like children, although we are not people in the right path, we also admire it."
Jin Sanding laughed:
"This matter is in the decision, okay, adults rest early, let's take our leave, go back and wait for good news."
At this point, he waved his hand, and the black-clothed people around him evacuated in all directions.
Wu Niangzi and Jin Sanding glanced at Shi Miao from a distance.
Wu Niangzi smiled:
"Next time, I'll come to learn the girl's tricks."
"Do you dare?"
Shi Miao's face was expressionless, only the edge of the sword was sharp.
Wu Niangzi paused, snorted, and turned to leave.
Jin Sanding looked at this and then at that, and after finding that he was the only one left alone, he hurriedly shouted:
"Wait for me."
In the middle of the roar, Lian Ren led Ding to chase after Wu Niangzi.
After all the people in this group left, Shi Miao's sword intent retracted.
Perennial frowned, turned around and entered the house.
An oil lamp lit up, and under the firelight, half of Jiang Ran's face was reflected.
"Jiang Shaoxia, now I have done as you ordered."
came to Jiang Ran all the year round:
"But I don't know, what are the plans of the young man?"
Jiang Ran glanced up at him and said with a smile:
"Master Chang, the grass people dare to ask you something."
"Jiang Shaoxia has something to say."
Perennial sat in front of Jiang Ran.
"With the manpower that Chang Daren can raise now, can he compete with Zuo Daozhuang?"
Jiang Ran spoke softly.
After pondering for a while:
"I don't know how far Jiang Gongzi and Miss Shi can go if they go all out?"
"It's not hard to kill all the people who came here tonight."
Perennial was stunned, and suddenly dumbfounded:
This Jiang Gongzi asked this, it was inevitable that he would ...... Unless the two of you are reluctant to make a move? ”
Jiang Ran sighed:
"Master Chang, what I said below is that it is not difficult to kill all the people who came here tonight, but it is difficult to say if they didn't come tonight."
"They still have manpower?"
"Yes."
Jiang Ran nodded: "In addition to those who came here tonight, there is also an old couple who have been famous many years ago.
"Miss Shi fought with her as before, although the edge hurt the old man, but if there is no master to save her, I am afraid that I will have to hate the scene."
"Hmph."
Shi Miao's voice came coldly from outside the window.
Jiang Ran smiled:
"Is it wrong to say it below?"
"That's right."
Shi Miao's voice was cold: "But if you fight with him again, he will be more seriously injured." ”
Jiang Ran nodded:
"I look at the girl's sword qi today, and it seems that it is better than the previous two days.
"In just two or three days, we have advanced so far, which is admirable."
Shi Miao outside the window suddenly stopped talking.
Chang Daren frowned:
"It turns out that there are two more people like this."
"It's not just them."
Jiang Ran shook his head slightly:
"Zuo Daozhuang is unfathomable, and I don't know much about it, but this trip is made by their young owner himself.
"It's hard to say what kind of martial arts this person is.
However, none of the people under him who carry shoes are simple characters.
"And, we don't know if there are hidden masters mixed in there.
"This incident is not small, so most of the people who come here are extraordinary.
"Although the girl has some skills in Xia Heshi, she is delusional that she can be foolproof in the hands of so many people......
"I'm afraid it's not easy."
"Jiang Shaoxia is thinking about it very much."
Perennial nodded again and again:
"So what do we do?"
Jiang Ran smiled slightly:
"I'm wondering, I don't know if I can find a surprise soldier for Chang Daren."
"Odd soldiers?"
Chang Nian glanced at Jiang Ran: "This strange soldier ...... Where? ”
"Probably, it's already in this Benma County."
……
……
When I came out of this room, it was already half an hour later.
Standing on the roof, Jiang Ran looked at the stars in the sky and said softly:
"Thank you."
Shi Miao frowned slightly:
"Why?"
"Thank you for not beheading me with a sword when you saw me."
Jiang Ran glanced back at her.
Shi Miao frowned slightly.
She knew what Jiang Ran was talking about.
Since today's daytime, there has been a story circulating in the city of Benma County.
said that Ye Jingshuang, the eldest lady of the Red Maple Ye family, mistakenly befriended the bandits, thinking that she was a life-saving benefactor, but she didn't expect that person to pretend to be crazy with wine, and actually insulted her.
It's hard to find traces of what the original words were.
The content circulating today is actually flawed, after all, how can you survive being insulted?
But who cares if anyone talks about it is true and what is false?
In the eyes of others, who the life-saving benefactor is, I am afraid it is still a mystery.
But Shi Miao knew that this person was Jiang Ran.
But after she saw Jiang Ran tonight, she didn't wipe out the injustices in the world, and directly swept Jiang Ran.
At this time, she glanced at Jiang Ran:
"I can't kill you.
"Two, I don't believe you'd do that kind of thing.
"So, I'm waiting for your explanation."
Jiang Ran tilted his head and glanced at her, and smiled at the end:
"Go back and wait for you, Senior Sister Ye will give you an explanation."
"Huh?"
Shi Miao's eyes narrowed slightly, and then nodded:
"Sure enough."
Jiang Ran stood up: "It's almost time, I'll leave first." ”
"Where are you going?"
"Go find you, Senior Sister Ye."
Leaving such a sentence, Jiang Ran's figure had already melted into the night.
Shi Miao silently watched his back leave, the sword qi on Zhou's body was uncertain, he slowly closed his eyes, and gradually converged all the sword intent and sword qi.
Hide the sword in your heart and move when the time comes.
Jiang Ran came to the inn with a familiar car and found the window.
casually pushed it away, and saw Ye Jingshuang sitting on the chair.
Her face was a little tired, and she was resting with her head down.
Jiang Ran closed the window casually and glanced at the bed, Liu Wenshan still showed no signs of waking up.
It's Mingyue's girl, who didn't entangle here tonight.
With a slight groan, Jiang Ran came to Ye Jingshuang's side.
As if sensing someone, the girl suddenly opened her eyes, and her eyes flashed sharply, and when she saw the person in front of her, her eyes were full of joy:
"Brother Jiang!?"
Jiang Ran nodded lightly:
"Sleep for a while, I'll just keep watch here."
Ye Jingshuang was silent for a moment, then nodded:
"Then I'll take a break. These two days, some hard ......"
Jiang Ran was silent for a while, and then sat beside her:
"Okay, with me here, you can just rest."
Ye Jingshuang closed her eyes, but her eyes rolled, but she couldn't sleep.
After thinking for a moment, she spoke softly:
"Uncle Tong and the Uncle Tong I know are completely different.
Today's rumors must be his handwriting.
"He wants to force me to marry Tong Yan.
"He thought that once my reputation was ruined, there was no choice."
"This is the ...... It is indeed not the work of a gentleman. ”
Jiang Ran said in a low voice:
"But don't worry, it'll set things right."
"Yes."
Ye Jingshuang nodded:
"I naturally believe you, but every time I think about this person in the past two days, I feel cold in my heart.
"I thought that after finding him, I would have a backer.
"Now I always feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles, like a man's back...... has to act with it everywhere, which is really haggard. ”
"I remember when I first saw Frost, you weren't like that."
Jiang Ran said with a smile: "At that time, while mediating with Zhang Dongxuan, I was able to run quickly." At the moment of death and life, her face does not change, and she is really a heroine. ”
“…… I'd rather fight it with a real gun. ”
Ye Jingshuang sighed: "However, I understand now, Tong Wanli, he is more than one person." The reason why you have turned from light to dark is not ...... Also with this in mind? ”
"What do you think?"
"This news."
leaf shuang says:
"If the rumors come too fiercely, there will definitely not be only one source.
"There must be minions around him that we haven't seen before......"
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment, and then nodded slightly:
"But now it's just speculation, but I don't dare to jump to conclusions.
"You and I probably need a little more patience."
Ye Jingshuang said:
"They should be in front of me soon."
"Oh?"
Jiang Ran was stunned: "What do you know?" ”
"Today Tong Wanli told me that he will have a best friend coming.
"These people have great powers, and they will help deal with the Heartless Ghost Mansion together."
"I can't hold it anymore."
Jiang Ran smiled:
"Not bad......
"Okay, you rest first, I'll keep watch here tonight. I'll call you again when it's almost dawn. ”
"Okay."
Ye Jingshuang nodded, she was indeed very tired in the past two days.
Now that Jiang Ran has come over, there is an indescribable peace in her heart, as if as long as she is by this person's side, she can remove all her defenses.
Fang Cai couldn't sleep, also because he wanted to talk to Jiang Ran.
It would be exhausting but unconscious, but in a matter of moments, her breathing was even.
Jiang Ran looked at her, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After she fell asleep completely, Jiang Ran set his eyes on Liu Wenshan.
After a deep groan, he slowly stood up and walked to the bed:
"I gave you time to figure out what's going on around you.
"This time, it's probably your last chance.
"Do you choose to wake up, or do you want to go back to sleep?"
Liu Wenshan's eyes were closed, without the slightest sign of waking up.
Jiang Ran didn't care, so he sat quietly in front of the bed and looked at him.
After a long time, Liu Wenshan, who had been closing his eyes tightly, suddenly opened his eyes slowly.
His eyes were not sharp, his eyes were a little warm, more of an indescribable sense of exhaustion, and a deeply hidden apprehension.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran smiled slightly:
"It's so powerful, no wonder Miss Ye would choose you as a weak scholar.
"There are only a few weak scholars in this world who can hide all of us."
Liu Wenshan's eyes changed:
"You...... Trick me? ”
His voice was dry, and his voice sounded hoarse.
"Not really, but not sure."
Jiang Ran stood up, walked to the table, and lightly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Liu Wenshan.
Liu Wenshan frowned slightly, but still took it and took a sip.
With water to moisten his throat, his voice was much better:
"You...... Is it for the scorched tail? ”
"Just curious."
Jiang Ran smiled:
"But what I'm more curious about is, why do you keep pretending to be unconscious and don't want to wake up?"
Liu Wenshan fell silent again.
Jiang Ran was not in a hurry, and waited quietly.
But after waiting for almost a cup of tea, Liu Wenshan still didn't speak.
Jiang Ran finally felt a little unable to wait, so he had no choice but to say:
"You should know that you have no choice."
“…… Jiao Weiqin's affairs in the Ye family, all over the world, except for me, only Tong Wanli knows. ”
Liu Wenshan's voice was very low.
Every word is like a thunderbolt rolling people's hearts.
Jiang Ran's gaze was much calmer than expected.
Liu Wenshan glanced at him:
"You...... Already aware? ”
"His investigation is too detailed."
Jiang Ran said in a low voice:
"It's only been a few days since Ye Jingshuang looked for him and he investigated everything clearly?
"The person he sent to investigate, even if he has great ability, can't be so powerful.
"So, that's when I started to doubt...... He was in collusion with those people. ”
Not only that, but in the battle of Tiger Leaping Stream.
Ghost Thirteen, the little old man and Tong Wanli fought a fierce battle.
The last move, no matter how you look at it, has been planned for a long time.
The purpose of the little old man and Tong Wanli is to join forces to kill the ghost thirteen.
Although Ghost Thirteen doesn't have this ability, it's worth the two of them joining forces.
But what if it's for the sake of drama?
In order to make Ye Jingshuang think, the little old man and Tong Wanli are by no means all the way.
Having a ghost thirteen mixed in will make the situation look particularly sinister.
But Ghost Thirteen is a trouble in the end, so they want to eradicate it.
Otherwise, judging from Tong Wanli's perspective and position standing beside Ye Jingshuang, he really had no reason to deal with Ghost Thirteen.
This is also where Jiang Ran first became suspicious of Tong Wanli.
And then that's what he said.
Liu Wenshan was silent for a moment, and then said:
"It's not a pity for me to die, when Ning'er left, I wanted to go with it.
"If I don't worry about the bright moon, why should I live in the world.
"It's just that no matter what, we can't let Jiao Weiqin fall into their hands.
"Jiang Shaoxia, you have the ability, I have one thing that I want to trouble you to help."
"You say."
"I want to entrust you with the bright moon and the frost."
“???”
Jiang Ran was stunned: "Where do you start with this?" ”
Liu Wenshan said softly:
"I can see it, frost ...... Well, it's not my turn to say more.
"Although Mingyue is young, she has also reached the age of time.
"I don't dare to bother Shaoxia too much, I just hope that Shaoxia can find a good family for her, and she doesn't have to work all her life and be bullied."
Jiang Ran breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
I thought too much about it for a long time...... I thought he was going to marry Mingyue to himself.
It turned out to be looking for a good family.
Liu Wenshan continued:
"I didn't keep her dowry at home, because I was afraid that her aunt would be disgusted.
"Shaoxia, and remember, thirty miles west of the Red Maple Leaf House, there is a Sunjiazhuang.
"The third house in the east of the village is empty.
"The bookshelf in the east wing has a hidden portal that opens to a secret room.
"Jiao Weiqin and Mingyue's dowries are in it...... I bought it with Ye Konggu.
"If the young man finds a lover for Mingyue, he can divide the dowry into three parts.
"One for Mingyue, one for Frost, and one for Snow.
"Finally...... The Jiaowei Qin was given to the young man. ”
[Get the reward: Jiaowei Qin clue!] 】
As Liu Wenshan's voice fell, Jiang Ran also got a hint from the system.
Jiang Ran scolded secretly in his heart, and sure enough, he was rewarded in this way.
Strictly speaking, this is actually reasonable.
If you save Liu Wenshan, you can get clues about Jiao Weiqin.
Liu Wenshan died, and there was no hope for this reward.
But the question is, what kind of position does your system occupy in this?
Just publishing tasks?
Moreover, after completing this task, only one day of lifespan was gained.
In every way, this knife hunting mission is a pitfall.
But after Jiang Ran complained for a while, he didn't care about it.
After all, there is still a task to arrest...... As for the knife catching task, even if it's a mosquito leg, it's still meat.
"Jiang Shaoxia?"
Liu Wenshan shouted again.
Jiang Ran glanced at him and smiled slightly:
"Actually, it's better to help with such a thing as marrying a girl than to do it yourself, right?
"Even if there are thousands of choices, they are still worried about the people they trust.
"If someone else chooses you, how can you be willing?"
Liu Wenshan nodded when he heard this:
"Shaoxia's words are to my heart.
"It's a pity...... Time waits for no man.
"Now that I have explained this matter, I will ask the young man to take advantage of the night and take the frost and the bright moon away.
"The farther you go, the better!"
Jiang Ran shook his head:
"I really can't leave now."
"Why?"
"The person you want to kill hasn't been killed, and the thing you want to do hasn't been done, how can you just leave?"
Jiang Ran smiled:
"Why don't you and I cooperate and put on another good show?"
"Like, the one you played with Frost?"
Liu Wenshan glanced at Jiang Ran:
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
Jiang Ran nodded: "As long as you believe me." ”
Liu Wenshan closed his eyes, and only slowly opened them after a while:
"This move, can you keep the bright moon and the frost worry-free?"
Jiang Ran nodded solemnly:
"Yes."
Liu Wenshan exhaled:
"Jiang Shaoxia, you just command."
"So...... First of all, you can sleep for two more days. ”
Jiang Ran said as he took out a medicine bag from his bosom:
"To hide your eyes, you can eat it.
"Even if it's the Holy Hand of the Apricot Forest, I can't find out why you're unconscious.
"And when it's time to wake up, I'll come back to you......"
