Chapter 39 Making Trouble
She spoke with such conviction that everyone present was shocked.
"Miss Jiang is a heroine. Can you tell me the reason?"
Jiang Ran seemed to have heard something interesting and was laughing so hard that he fell over.
After a while, she finally stopped laughing and shrugged, saying, "Master Zhou, let me ask you something. If your woman went to Nanfeng Pavilion to look for a young prostitute without your knowledge and you discovered it, what would you do?"
"Of course I killed him." Zhou Zheng pretended to be gentle and polite, but for the first time today he showed his bandit nature.
"Okay, well said." Jiang Ran clapped his hands.
"The prince was discussing marriage with me at the time, but I caught him playing with three women in Tianxiang Pavilion! I didn't kill him, I just cut off his offspring. Is that too much?"
There was a dead silence at the scene, and the men all looked terrified, as if they were feeling the phantom pain.
Especially the skinny black monkey who had just tried to tease Jiang Ran. He couldn't help but cover his crotch with his hands. He liked Little Pepper, and he had no luck with this kind of tigress. The bump on his head didn't hurt as much anymore. The stone just now was probably God's way of reminding him that this woman was not to be touched.
"Bang——" A muffled sound came from behind the screen.
Jiang Ran curled his lips and smiled. Sure enough, he was there.
Then let her add fuel to the fire. I don’t believe he can hold back.
"What? Could it be that he paid the money and asked your Wushan Village to deal with me?"
"Did he only give a deposit? Then you better be careful. He's a loser. Not only is he a womanizer, he's also a gambler and a debtor. How much money does he have?"
"Forget about him. Even with his father, the Marquis of Yongqing, all their assets put together are not as much as a little finger of our Jiang family."
"How much is he offering? I'll offer a thousand times, no, ten thousand times! Don't stand on the wrong side."
Zhou Zheng was confused and kept saying "this, this, this" for a long time, but he couldn't slow down Jiang Ran's complaining.
There was another muffled sound, and the screen was directly overturned.
Several servants pushed out a wheelchair, and the person sitting on it was the coward she had mentioned.
Zhou Zheng held his forehead. How could the Marquis, a meticulous man, raise such a dull-witted son? He had been polite to these people, hoping to see if there was any room for maneuver. With the Crown Prince's appearance, a fierce battle was inevitable.
The prince's eyes flashed with uncontrollable anger, his chest heaving violently, and everyone looked at him with sympathy, which made him even more furious.
"Little bitch, I'm going to kill you!"
"I've been so good to you, you've been eating and drinking my food, and you've hurt me like this, and you've even immediately gotten engaged to Lu Weiqing. Do you still have any shame?"
Jiang Ran blinked and said sarcastically, "Hey, you're still here?"
"You were the one who tried to trick me back then, and you did everything you could to create this 'chance encounter'. Now you're trying to settle the score with me? Those few dishes are nothing. I'll just pay you back."
Jiang Ran untied the pouch at his waist, took out two gold bars, and threw them in the prince's face, "No need to change."
"As for engagement, Prime Minister Lu is a man of unparalleled beauty, a peerless talent. I'm drawn to him. How can a scumbag like you be compared to him?"
The prince had just fallen and was covered in dust. The bandaged wounds were bleeding and he looked extremely miserable.
Jiang Ran made him so angry that his whole body was shaking violently. He was breathing out more than breathing in, and he almost passed out.
He swallowed a few pills and pointed at Jiang Ran and scolded, "Don't be so proud! You want to marry the Prime Minister, right?"
"Today, my eldest brother will kill you. By then, you will be a broken flower and a withered willow. Let's see which man will want you. Hahahahahahaha - wait until you enter the mansion, and see how I kill you!"
Jiang Huan clenched his fists, wishing he could beat this bastard to death with one blow.
Jiang Ran winked at him, telling him to be patient and continued to guide him to continue.
"Your eldest brother, who here is your eldest brother? Could it be the illegitimate son of Yongqing Hou?"
The prince realized that he had said something he did not want to say, and he interrupted, "You bitch, you are meddling in other people's business. You will be in trouble later."
"That's not right. Why would you arrest me instead of my brother?" Jiang Ran
"Of course I do..." The prince realized that he was being tricked and became angry. "Someone, tie this woman up and take her away."
Jiang Ran was about to ask again when he heard deafening shouting and screaming outside.
"Oh no! Many soldiers are coming!"
The sentry ran while shouting, but was shot dead by an arrow before he entered the house.
Jiang Ran was annoyed. She had finally gotten the truth out, but who was the brainless one who ruined her plan?
The three of them looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
They didn't make any noise at all, let alone report to the authorities, so where did the officers and soldiers come from?
Someone quickly answered their question.
Just now, along the way, Lu Weiqing and Shiyi eliminated many sentries of Wushan Village. The officers and soldiers attacked in the dark and soon killed or tied up all the minions in the village.
Lu Yu, surrounded by a group of soldiers, limped towards Jiang Ran and asked with concern, "Ah Ran, are you okay?"
"I knew you would go up the mountain alone, so I begged my grandmother, wore an imperial decree, summoned soldiers, and rushed non-stop to rescue you."
Lu Yu looked very proud, thinking that Jiang Ran would be so moved that she would cry.
So what if she was engaged to her uncle? Her uncle didn't care about Jiang Ran's life or death, but he ignored his pain and tried his best to rescue her.
This heroic rescue of the beauty will surely move her to commit herself to him.
Lu Yu was immersed in fantasy and was so overwhelmed by the beauty that he lost his mind. He muttered to himself and was about to hold Jiang Ran in his arms.
"Aran, don't be too moved. This is what I should do."
The big-headed ghost who touched him.
Not only did he disturb Madam Lu's peace and quiet, but he also completely ruined their plan. Jiang Ran wanted to kick his disgusting face.
Jiang Huan was also disgusted and was about to stop him, but Lu Weiqing got in front of him and kicked Lu Yu, making him stagger.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
"You guys? Could it be..."
Lu Yu realized that these bandits were not as difficult as he had imagined, and the few people present, his uncle, Eleven, and Chen Que, were all extremely powerful in combat.
There is only one reason why they don't resist, and that is that they don't want to resist.
Even the prince realized that he had fallen into a trap, and only then did Lu Yu react.
Jiang Ran couldn't help but scold him: "Lu Yu, you have a pig brain."
Forget it, he can’t run away anyway, just take him back and interrogate him slowly.
Jiang Ran and Lu Weiqing looked at each other. She tended to believe that the big brother the prince mentioned was Zhou Zheng, the leader of Wushan Village. If they brought him back to the capital, with the means of the Jinwu Guard, they would not be afraid that he would not confess.
At this moment, something unexpected happened. Zhou Zheng twitched, suddenly fell to the ground, and foamed at the mouth.
Eleven quickly went over to check his breath and shook his head.
When they pried open his teeth, they found that he had a deadly poison hidden in his mouth and he would commit suicide if the truth was revealed.
The prince's eyes were filled with sorrow, knowing that he had failed this time. Only by taking all the responsibility on himself could he clear the Marquisate of any involvement.
The search of Wushan Village was completed until dawn.
Leaving behind a team of soldiers to guard the place, everyone went down the mountain.
Jiang Ran hadn't slept all night and felt a little depressed. He walked at the end of the team.
Although they captured the prince, they were unable to dig up any solid evidence. They could not punish him severely and force him to testify against Marquis Yongqing, so the clues were cut off again.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Lu Weiqing walked over, handed her a wild fruit, and smiled slightly.
"Aran, what you just said, is it true?"
"What?" Jiang Ran's brain froze. In order to anger the prince, she had just spoken without thinking.
"You please me."
Jiang Ran's face flushed. He wiped the fruit, took a bite, and then looked around and said, "This fruit is quite sweet. Where did you pick it?"
