Chapter 62: Seeing is believing
"Everyone, please stand up!"
The loud voice lingered in the sky above Caishikou.
Jiang Ruo displayed his righteous spirit in every gesture.
After Chu Wenqian stood up, the people slowly stood up.
The people said: Why do we feel like things are going to change in Shengzhou City?
Those who knew the origin of this sword were all trembling with fear at this moment.
People who don’t know about this sword think that the woman holding it is of some importance.
Among them were some common people who had heard about the origins of Jiang Ruo and his group.
Due to the special circumstances of their group, these people kept silent about their identities.
Jiang Ruo glanced at the people waiting for his next words and said in a sonorous voice, "Fellow villagers, this sword is called the Dragon Soul Sword."
"The late emperor used it to slay countless enemies on the battlefield, and it endowed him with the energy of a dragon soul."
Jiang Ruo secretly thought: It sounds quite domineering.
People: “…?”
Dragon Soul Sword?
They are so short-sighted.
If I had known earlier, I would have taken a few more glances.
Well, it’s not too late to take a sneak peek now so I can brag about it when I get back.
In order to enhance the atmosphere, Jiang Ruo deliberately paused...
"When it entered Shengzhou territory, it suddenly emitted a buzzing sound. Such a strange sight... shocked me at the time."
"Obviously, this sword is warning you of something."
"When I encountered these bandits, I suddenly understood the meaning of this sword."
"It must be the spirit of the late emperor, asking me to eliminate the bandits and certain corrupt officials who are taking bribes and breaking the law."
After Jiang Ruo finished speaking, Nangong Yi, who was hidden in the crowd, took the lead in clapping and cheering with an excited look on his face.
Haha! Look at Ruoruo's aura, even more domineering than he was back then!
Although Jiang Ruo's words contained some misleading elements, they sounded inexplicably convincing.
The atmosphere at the scene became inexplicably serious.
At this moment, Chu Wenqian was no longer as scared as before.
After serving as an official for many years, if I can't even handle such a situation, my life would be in vain.
As the queen's cousin, what's wrong with him making some small mistakes?
At that time, the Queen's cousin will whisper in the Emperor's ear...
Besides, this bastard can't produce any evidence of their collusion. Even if the late emperor comes in person, what can he do to me?
Today, I will let you know how many eyes the Horse King has.
Thinking of this, Chu Wenqian couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.
He glanced at the Dragon Soul Sword in Jiang Ruo's hand and said to the bald village chief with an arrogant look, "You say that I am in cahoots with you bandits. Do you have any evidence?"
The bald village chief was grimacing in pain because his wound was pulled when he stood up from his knees.
When Chu Wenqian asked this question, he immediately felt that the wound from being beaten with a stick was not as painful anymore.
Because he couldn't wait to take revenge.
He fought back, unwilling to be outdone: "Evidence?"
"Of course I have evidence. Today I'll show you what it means to catch someone red-handed, humph!"
Jiang Ruo looked at the two men arguing with each other, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she shouted in her heart: Fight, fight...
Chu Wenqian's eyelids twitched when he saw the bald village chief who seemed confident.
Uh, how could he possibly know?
The secret room where the treasure is hidden... no one knows about it except his wife.
The bastard must be desperate and teamed up with that stinky woman Jiang Ruo to cheat me.
While Jiang Ruo was watching the fun, he also did not forget to join in.
Looking at the confident Chu Wenqian, she said impartially, "Words are not enough, seeing is believing. I think...the spirit of the late emperor in heaven would also want to know what the truth is."
Hey guys, today I’ll let you know what a major rollover scene is.
Hey! You may not know this yet!
You will not be able to escape the blame this time.
In the end, Jiang Ruo selected several "representatives" from the people who had been robbed by bandits, and followed them to the "crime scene".
Master Xue and the yamen runners followed behind them, followed by the common people who were just watching.
They won't break up until they get to the bottom of today's incident.
Jiang Ruo, holding the Dragon Soul Sword, walked in front with a ruthless pace, as if she was the protagonist of the day.
Xiao Chengjin, who sneaked out to watch the excitement, wore a silver mask and stood leisurely at the window of a private room in a teahouse.
Under the mask, there was a faint smile in those deep eyes, staring straight at the white figure.
Ruoruo looked so domineering just now, she really has the potential to be a queen.
I don’t know if that guy An Er can complete the tasks he has arranged.
If you dare to make mistakes... you'll be sent back to the Dark Guard Camp!
Jiang Ruo always felt that there was a pair of "evil" eyes staring at her in the dark...
No, there must be a thief eyeing her sword! !
Oh my god, in ancient times, it was a crime to possess a jade, but now it is a crime to possess a sword!
Jiang Ruo looked around vigilantly and gripped the sword in his hand tightly.
She complained in her heart: Damn, if anyone dares to snatch it away, I will use you as a sacrifice to my sword.
The crowd came to the government office in a mighty procession and watched Jiang Ruo and his group enter the office.
Chu Wenqian looked at the people walking in front of him and felt a panic in his heart.
Isn't this the way to...the study?
They looked... as if they were very familiar with the backyard of the government office.
At this moment, Chu Wenqian could no longer maintain that calm expression.
He cursed in his heart: These people are obviously well prepared!
But how did they know about the study...?
Chu Wenqian suddenly thought of his wife who was a little too "quiet".
Feeling unwell?
Humph! That stupid woman must have done something stupid and is hiding from him!
Chu Wenqian subconsciously looked towards his wife's yard.
Stupid woman, you dare to ruin my business? I will divorce you.
Jiang Ruo deliberately slowed down his pace and secretly glanced at Chu Wenqian who was looking towards his wife's yard.
Yes, it was your wife who told me where your family’s treasure is hidden.
The wife of the prefect, who was strolling in the yard, suddenly had a bad premonition when she saw a stranger walking towards the study.
Because the treasure in the secret room was lost, the magistrate's wife could not sleep or eat, and was worried every moment.
She prayed in her heart: Don't let the adults know that the property in the secret room is lost.
At this time, Xiao Qian, who had already found out the news, hurried to the prefect's wife and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, the prefect's wife didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.
The good news is that the secret room is empty and the collusion between officials and bandits no longer exists.
What she was worried about was whether her parents would faint from anger when they knew that everything in the secret room was missing.
Alas, now we can only wait and see what happens.
But then she thought, this outsider has come to her door, and as the wife of the prefect, she can't just sit back and watch!
No, she has to take care of this matter.
At the critical moment, she would rush forward and make a scene on behalf of her parents...
Thinking of this, the magistrate's wife took her maid and quickly followed.
