Chapter 227 Brother Mang's Ambition (Please Subscribe, Ask for a Monthly Pass!)

"Just within one or two days." The cow demon replied mechanically.

"When you arrive in the capital, where will you settle?" Xiao Ran asked again.

"I'll arrange for them."

The Forbidden Spirit Art is flickering, it has reached the limit of collapse, and it can explode at any time.

One last question.

ponder for a moment.

Xiao Ran asked the key point, "How to contact them?"

"My Bull Demon Clan has a secret method. As long as they are not far away, they can sense the existence of the other party by virtue of the secret method. Under the prerequisite, the other party does not hide their breath." The bull demon said.

boom!

After answering this question, his head exploded at this moment.

The headless corpse fell to the ground.

Wave a chop.

A sword qi fell, destroying his body.

At this time, Shen Yiming led people to come from inside and stopped beside Xiao Ran.

"Jiang Ming is not here!"

"What's going on?" Xiao Ran frowned.

"According to the people below, just now, he took people out of the mansion, it seems that he is going to the second prince's side."

"Could it be that the second prince is also involved in this matter?"

"It's hard to say!" Shen Yiming shook his head.

"Without figuring out their motives, guessing alone is useless."

"You interrogate them right now and pry their mouths open!" Xiao Ran said.

"Are you going to the Second Prince's side?"

"No matter who is involved in this case, it will be investigated strictly to the end."

"Let the priest interrogate, and I will go there with you."

"No need!" Xiao Ran refused.

"The Jiang family has expended so much effort to secretly capture these little girls and dig out their hearts. There must be some hidden secrets! No matter how secretive Jiang Ming is, there will still be some rumors."

"Okay! Then be careful yourself." Shen Yiming reminded.

"En." Xiao Ran responded.

Looking at the soldiers and horses of the Excalibur Guard.

"You guys follow me!"

"Uncle Xiao, we will go there with you." Gu Qiuhe said anxiously.

"No need!" Xiao Ran said.

"The matter here has not been resolved. You stay here and pry their mouths open as soon as possible to find out the truth of the matter. I will take someone to the second prince's side and arrest Jiang Ming! If there is any news from your side, please notify me immediately. "

Speaking of which.

His eyes turned cold.

"If it really involves him, then take him down."

Seeing what Xiao Ran said, Gu Qiuhe and the others did not persist.

More than 200 people with the Divine Sword Guard left the Jiang mansion, and before they could leave, the sound of horseshoes sounded again.

The leader was a middle-aged general who rode Zhao Ye Longma with three thousand soldiers and horses.

Judging from their attire, they are also members of the Fifth Division of City Defense.

Seeing Xiao Ran's group, the middle-aged general stopped, and ordered with a cold face, "Enclose this place, and don't let a single fly go without this general's order!"

Three thousand soldiers rushed up quickly, surrounding Jiang Mansion, and surrounded Xiao Ran and the others.

Hearing the commotion outside, Shen Yiming and the others asked people to guard the Jiang Mansion, and they also drove them out.

Standing beside Xiao Ran, he looked at the middle-aged general coldly.

Gu Qiuhe had already recognized him, took a step forward, and scolded in a cold voice, "Ma Kui, what are you doing?"

The middle-aged general is called Ma Kui.

Looking at him, I panicked, wondering why Gu Qiuhe is here?

But he is a member of the Jiang family, and the Jiang family is in trouble at the moment, surrounded by them, he can't stand by and watch.

Otherwise.

Even if Xiao Ran let him go, the Jiang family had plenty of ways to deal with him.

The most simple and rude one, as long as the evidence of his secret corruption and bribery is handed over, he can't get away with it.

That's why he brought people here immediately after seeing the signal flare.

"The general will receive a report that someone has committed a crime and secretly led troops to besiege Jiang's mansion, and came to besiege and kill Xiaoxiao!" Ma Kui said.

"Young Master Gu, you'd better take someone away now. I will pretend that I haven't seen you before. If you insist on staying here, don't blame me for being rude."

"Here is the token of the Minister of War, and I will order you to leave quickly with your troops!" Gu Qiuhe took out his father's token.

Ma Kui sneered, at this point his face was already torn apart.

If so, then do it more simply.

"Unless Mr. Gu is in person, I would have the right to suspect that you stole the token without permission."

"People are doing it, the sky is watching, don't make yourself uncomfortable."

"Go away! Otherwise, I will take you down together." Ma Kui yelled.

The soldiers and horses he brought, with a flick of the spear, pointed the cold tip at Xiao Ran and the others coldly.

And Xiao Ran's side.

The soldiers and horses of the Fifth City Defense Division brought by Shenjianwei, Jishenmen, and Gu Qiuhe, as well as the arresters brought by Bai Zhanyu, faced them coldly.

The war is imminent.

Xiao Ran patted him on the shoulder, motioning him to back off.

Looking at Ma Kui.

"Jiang Wudao released the signal flare just now to call you, right?"

"Ben will not understand what you are talking about!" Ma Kui vetoed it.

"Shenjianwei and Jishenmen handle the case, what are you? You dare to intervene? Not to mention you, even if you are the leader, you don't dare to point fingers in front of us." Xiao Ran said with a cold face.

"It's the duty, there's nothing you dare to do!" Ma Kui didn't back down.

"I now suspect that you are a remnant of the Jiang family and participated in the "heart-digging" case." Having said this, Xiao Ran's eyes were cold.

One step.

Then he disappeared from the spot and appeared directly in front of Ma Kui.

Grabbing his neck, he was violently pulled off Zhao Yelong's horse and smashed to the ground.

"Ah!" The sudden scene caught Ma Kui by surprise, and he cried out in pain.

He didn't expect that Xiao Ran would do it as soon as he said he would do it.

Just when he was about to order the people he brought to do it, Xiao Ran stepped on his face, and the huge force knocked him unconscious.

Looking at these soldiers who were about to move, he said indifferently.

"Put down your weapons!"

The sound turned into a sonic boom, like a huge tornado, sweeping past them.

All the weapons fell to the ground in an instant, and even they were knocked over, and they didn't get up for a long time.

"Here is left to you." Xiao Ran said.

"Don't worry! We are here." Shen Yiming said.

"En." Xiao Ran nodded.

The people with the Divine Sword Guard rushed towards Xuanwufang.

After they left.

Shen Yiming didn't stay idle, he stepped forward, sealed Ma Kui's lute bone, and ordered him to be taken down for torture and interrogation. As for the soldiers he brought, they were all handed over to Gu Qiuhe.

A heavy punishment awaits them.

for a while.

Xiao Ran led people to stop here at No. 18 Xuanwufang.

The guard at the head saw the Excalibur Guard coming, took a step forward, looked at Xiao Ran, and said respectfully, "May I ask your lord's name?"

"Xiao Ran!"

"Master Xiao came just in time. His Highness ordered you to take someone to the Divine Sword Guard."

Xiao Ran looked at him calmly, waiting for the next sentence.

"Bring people up." The guard leader clapped his hands.

Four guards walked out quickly and placed the two corpses on the ground.

Xiao Ran didn't know them, but he guessed something in his heart.

He pointed to the bodies of the two and introduced, "The man's name is Jiang Ming, and the woman's name is his younger sister Concubine Jiang. She tried to assassinate His Highness just now, and she has already been executed on the spot."

paused.

"If Lord Xiao has any doubts, this subordinate can take you to see His Highness."

Looking at the two headless corpses, Xiao Ran was suspicious, "Coincidence or murder?"

Looking at the guard.

"Take this seat in."

"Please come inside!" The guard made a gesture of invitation.

Leading people into the second prince's mansion.

Here in the backyard.

Xiao Ran only brought twenty people in, and did not bring more people in.

More and more puzzled, how come here?

soon.

The guards took him and stopped outside a palace.

The gate is heavily guarded, and there are a large number of guards standing there, as well as strong men, protecting the place airtightly.

"Master Xiao, don't be surprised. His Highness was assassinated and seriously injured. This is the only way to prevent further accidents."

Step forward.

He stopped here at the gate of the palace, and respectfully asked inside, "Your Highness! Excalibur Guard Xiao Ran, Master Xiao is here."

The temple door opened from the inside.

A beautiful woman in blue shirt opened the door of the palace.

"Stand back!" said the woman in the green shirt.

With no doubt.

The head of the guard saluted respectfully and then left.

His eyes fell on Xiao Ran, and his red lips parted slightly, "Introduction, my surname is Gu, and I have only one name."

"Xiao Ran." Xiao Ran's words were short and horrifying.

"Please!" Gu Ying made a gesture of invitation.

Enter the palace.

Under her leadership, they stopped here on the bed.

bed.

The second prince was unconscious, with a gauze wrapped around his chest, surrounding him, with bright red blood oozing out, looking very miserable.

Gu Ying introduced, "We didn't expect that Jiang Ming would be so ambitious that he would secretly arrest little girls and steal their hearts. Seeing that this matter came to light, he was afraid of being caught by you, so he asked His Highness to help him."

His expression changed, and the justice was clear.

"But who is His Highness? The second prince, who has acted in an upright manner all his life, never oppressed goodness, and has the common people in his heart, how could he agree to him? Don't say that he is Concubine Jiang's eldest brother, even if he goes one step further, His Highness will not back down. "

Having said that, she showed anger and clenched her hand tightly.

"But this bastard is completely crazy. In order to force His Highness to take action, he even attacked His Highness! Fortunately, the guards in the mansion tried their best to protect him, so they killed him, and returned justice to the world and those innocent girls who died. Unexpectedly Concubine Jiang actually saw this scene, and while she was resting at night, she stabbed His Highness, almost killing His Highness!"

Tears flowed down, wet the clothes on her chest.

Xiao Ran listened quietly and did not say anything.

Secretly resorted to "spiritual clarity and eyesight".

Look at the second prince again.

The wound on his chest was indeed very serious, almost going deep into his internal organs, if he took one step further, even if he couldn't be killed, he could still be seriously wounded, leaving an indelible hidden wound.

Confused in my heart, "Is it really not him?"

But all this is too coincidental, right? For all coincidences, there must be ghosts.

"Skynet is extensive but not leaky." Xiao Ran said.

Look away.

"I'll take their bodies back."

"Yeah." Gu Ying nodded.

Ask someone to send Xiao Ran out of the mansion, only to return after seeing his figure disappear.

In the bedroom.

Gu Ying walked to the bed, took out a elixir, and fed it to the second prince. After a few breaths, the second prince opened his eyes, and with her support, he leaned against the head of the bed.

"have they gone?"

"gone."

"How is my prince acting?" The second prince was proud.

"It should be hidden from him." Gu Ying said after thinking about it.

"They acted too fast. If Jiang Ming hadn't come to report, they would have almost found the prince. If Jiang's name fell into their hands, this prince will really be in trouble this time."

looking at her.

Holding her jade hand, "After a while, after my father wakes up, this prince will tell my father to marry you as my concubine."

"Everything is arranged by His Highness," Gu Ying said.

The two were tacit understanding.

They all know what they want to take, the mysterious force that the Second Prince secretly contacted is the Gu Family, the Gu Family contacted the Second Prince, and also hooked up with the eldest daughter of the direct line, the plan is naturally not small.

in this matter.

The Jiang family, including Jiang Ming and Jiang Concubine, are just victims of an exchange of interests.

For those in power, the value of use is lost, and only the end of being abandoned.

but.

The second prince was even more ruthless, and directly took the Jiang family away.

out of the mansion.

The Excalibur guards outside greeted him, and a purple sword guard said, "My lord, what did the second prince say?"

"Go back first." Xiao Ran shook his head.

Still at the gate, this is not the place to talk.

Leave with their headless corpses.

on the way.

Xiao Ran simply explained, "On the surface, there seems to be nothing suspicious, and everything can be explained, but the more so, the greater the hidden mystery."

"That……"

"There is no evidence." Xiao Ran said.

Take them back to Excalibur Guard.

Shen Yiming and others have also returned.

in the room.

A group of people sat around the table, and Gu Qiuhe and the others were also there.

"What's going on over there?" Shen Yiming asked.

"Dead." Xiao Ran said.

Simply explain the situation.

finished listening.

Everyone gasped, and Gu Qiuhe was the first to speak, "I'm afraid this will be silenced?"

"Regardless of whether it was silenced or not, our action was a step slower. If Jiang Ming was not caught, it would be considered that he did this matter. There is no proof, and there is no evidence at all. It must end here. Unless we can find other evidence. "Xiao Ran said.

Looking at Shen Yiming.

"How did the Jiang family's interrogation go?"

"I have used all kinds of severe punishments, and I don't know about it. It seems that Jiang Ming acted without telling everyone. Even those who participated in this matter died at your hands." Shen Yiming said.

"Let people watch secretly to see if they can get any more news."

"En." Shen Yiming responded.

Shen Yiming handed over a document, and Xiao Ran opened the document, which recorded the process of this operation in great detail, this is a necessary step.

They made too much noise this time, this matter must be reported, and it cannot be concealed.

Furthermore.

They have no intention of hiding either.

He took a pen, signed his name on it, and handed the document over.

"Although we didn't get evidence, it's not that we got nothing. Nearly 30 million taels were copied from the Jiangfu, plus other precious antique calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, etc. We will keep 30% of this money, and give another sum to those who died. The girl's family, the rest of the money will be handed over." Shen Yiming said.

We are referring to Xiao Ran, Shen Yiming, Daoist Xuanyang, Gu Qiuhe, Shi Ming, and Bai Zhanyu.

A few of them took one share, and the remaining one was shared by the people below.

They eat meat, and the people below have worked hard all night, and they still have to work with their heads up, so they must have some soup.

"How to deal with the Jiang family?" Xiao Ran asked.

"I've already been imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. When our documents are sent up, tomorrow after Sangong and Liubu Shangshu discuss with others, there will be a result." Shen Yiming said.

"En." Xiao Ran nodded.

Looking at Gu Qiuhe and Shi Ming, "It's getting late, so hurry back with your bank notes."

"Uncle Xiao (Brother Xiao), let's go." The two said.

Daoist Xuanyang also stood up, "Poverty Dao has also gone back."

After they left, only Xiao Ran and the other three were left in the room.

"Help me investigate a person." Xiao Ran said.

"I knew you had something to say." Shen Yiming poured three cups from the teapot and placed them in front of them.

He took a sip of tea and asked.

"who?"

"Ancient Shadow."

"who is she?"

"The people around the second prince seem to have his trust." Xiao Ran said.

"You suspect her..." Shen Yiming didn't go on with the rest, but he understood everything.

"Intuition." Xiao Ran pointed to his heart.

puff!

Shen Yiming spit out the tea he just drank, and glared at him angrily, "I've only heard of straight men, but I haven't heard of intuitive ones yet."

"Have Xiao Zhou's training resources arrived?" Xiao Ran changed the subject.

"The banknotes have been used up, and the cultivation resources are in place and can be used at any time." Shen Yiming said.

His eyes fell on Xiao Zhou.

"How are you going to arrange him?"

"From tomorrow onwards, let him stay in Purgatory, let Yang Pingan train him specially, with the help of this batch of cultivation resources, it won't be long before he can improve his cultivation base."

"That's a good idea." Shen Yiming nodded.

Xiao Zhou didn't speak the whole time. What happened this time made him understand a truth. If he doesn't have the strength, if he encounters danger, he won't even have the ability to protect himself, let alone protect others.

Standing up from the chair, Xiao Ran said, "We're going back."

"You guys together?" Shen Yiming was astonished.

"En." Xiao Ran responded.

"In order to find him, I asked some beggars to help. They are still in the Drunken Immortal Courtyard, so they have to go there."

"Okay." Shen Yiming said.

He took Xiao Zhou out of the Divine Sword Guard and rushed towards the Drunken Immortal Courtyard.

On the opened page of the Golden Book of Creation, the reward was finalized at this time, revealing sixteen things.

Among them, the Jiang family has contributed a lot, surpassing Jiang Wudao and Niu Yao.

It seems that the higher the status, the better things you get.

on the way.

Xiao Zhou raised his head and said courageously, "Brother Xiao, don't worry, I will work hard this time and I will never let you down again."

"After entering purgatory, even if you want to be lazy, you have to ask Yang Pingan if he agrees."

"..." Xiao Zhou was speechless.

Arrived at Drunken Immortal Courtyard.

Seeing that they had returned, Zhu Feng told the people around him, "Go and tell Sister Yan, Brother Zhou has found it!"

Quickly greeted him.

"Brother Xiao sees you, and we can let go of our hanging hearts."

Show concern.

"Brother Zhou, are you okay?"

"Yeah." Xiao Zhou nodded.

As soon as she entered the Drunken Immortal Courtyard, Sister Yan greeted him, looked at Xiao Zhou, couldn't bear the emotions in her heart anymore, opened her arms, and hugged him in her arms.

"You scared me to death."

"Are you not afraid of so many people watching here?" Xiao Zhou patted her on the back jokingly.

Sister Yan raised her head and gave him an annoyed look.

"I'm happy, can they control it?"

let go of him.

He solemnly bowed to Xiao Ran, "Brother Xiao has troubled you again!"

"They're all brothers, why bother?" Xiao Ran shook his head.

"Let's go to the back and talk." Sister Yan said.

Entered the backyard and sat down in the luxurious room last time.

The food and drink are ready, only the three of them.

"What's going on, Brother Xiao?" Sister Yan couldn't help asking.

"Let him speak for himself." Xiao Ran shook his head, poured a glass with the jug, and drank.

Xiao Zhou explained what happened in detail.

I also learned that Xiao Zhou will go to purgatory for "training" tomorrow.

Sister Yan said, "Brother Xiao, don't release the water this time. If he can't meet your requirements, don't let him come out."

"Aren't you too cruel?" Xiao Zhou glared at her.

"Hmph! As long as you practice more seriously on weekdays, what happened today will not happen."

Xiao Zhou was speechless.

"Where are Brother Mang and Guapi?" Xiao Ran asked.

"I asked people to open the yard next to them, entertained them with good wine and good food, and even asked some girls to accompany them." Sister Yan said.

"I'll go and have a look." Xiao Ran stood up from the chair.

"I'll take you there."

"No need! You have a good chat." Xiao Ran refused.

Xiao Zhou had just found it, and without thinking, he could guess that there was a lot to say between them.

He left the room and gave them the space.

Go to the side yard.

here we go.

Hearing the chatter and laughter coming from the room, Xiao Ran smiled slightly, opened the door and walked in.

The sudden sound of the door opening made them startled, and subconsciously looked back.

Seeing that it was Xiao Ran, Brother Mang, Guapi, and their younger brother, they hurriedly stood up from their chairs.

"Meet the adults!"

"Don't be cautious, sit down." Xiao Ran said.

Walking to the main seat, Brother Mang skillfully pulled out a chair, wiped it with his sleeve, and let Xiao Ran sit down.

"You go out first." Brother Mang said.

The others left, leaving only him and Guapi.

Taking out the one thousand taels of silver note and handing it over, Brother Mang said, "My lord, Sister Yan doesn't want it."

"Take what is given to you." Xiao Ran glared at him.

"how do you feel?"

The two looked at each other, and Guapi winked at him, motioning him to speak quickly, Brother Mang gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground, seeing this scene, Guapi also knelt down.

Brother Mang said, "My lord, please give us a chance!"

Xiao Ran smiled, "You guys did a good job this time, I owe you a favor. Don't rush to say it, think about it carefully, as long as you don't ask too much, I can satisfy you."

"It's our honor to be able to do things for you, why do you owe us a favor?" Brother Mang replied very beautifully.

Speak out the thoughts in your heart truthfully.

"Over the years, my two brothers have had enough of living under the fence. Even if we beg for food, we have to share most of the property we get. We are not reconciled! If we want to fight, we didn't have the chance before. Fortunately, God let us I have met you, my lord, and your coming, for us, is the noble person in our life, our chance, and I ask you to give me a chance, even if I risk my life, I won’t frown!"
