Chapter 17 Is there still the law?
Wang Anming's eyebrows jumped. Although he was the mayor of Yuyi City, he would never dare to neglect a great scholar.
If one has the accomplishments of a great Confucian scholar, he will surely hold a high position in the court.
He was also very clear about Jiang Lan's identity.
When Jiang Lan first arrived in Yuyi City, he personally visited and hosted a banquet, wanting to invite Jiang Lan to stay in the City Lord's Mansion for a while, but was directly rejected by Jiang Lan.
Whether it was the great scholar in front of him or Jiang Lan, neither of them could be offended by him, the lord of Yuyi City.
"May I know who this senior is?" Wang Anming bowed, looked at Zhao Tianhe, and asked politely.
Zhao Tianhe's expression was indifferent. He just glanced at him and ignored him.
He was polite to Jiang Lan because of his father, but he still didn't take the mere lord of Yuyi City seriously.
Wang Anming hit a wall, but he didn't dare show his anger and remained polite and respectful.
As the lord of Yuyi City, holding a high position of power, he had never needed to be so humble.
At this moment, he just wanted to curse in his heart. Who could have thought that such a small place like Yuyi City would have such big figures appear one after another.
In fact, on the way here, Wang Anming had already learned from his confidants what had happened in Xueyue Pavilion.
It was just a matter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how could he dare to interfere or ask too many questions?
But now, a great scholar suddenly intervened, and as the city lord, he was caught in the middle and had a harder time than anyone else.
"The Lord City Lord has arrived at the right time."
At this time, Jiang Lan's slow voice sounded in the pavilion, "I have heard that Jiangling County has good security. Yuyi City is a well-known city in Jiangling County. However, I have only been in Yuyi City for less than a day, and I have been repeatedly assassinated."
"This murderer was extremely arrogant and not only injured my guards, but also intended to take my life."
"I wonder how the city lord governs Yuyi City. If he is not capable enough, he should abdicate as soon as possible..."
When Su Qinghan heard the word "assassination", her expression changed slightly, her body tensed up, and she pinched the corner of her clothes with her delicate hands.
Wang Anming's expression changed drastically. A look of fear appeared on his face, which was intimidating without anger. He quickly bowed his hands and said in a trembling voice, "I am not in charge of this matter well. I hope Mr. Jiang will forgive me."
"I will investigate the murderer and give Mr. Jiang an explanation."
If the crime of assassinating the prime minister's son is proven true, not only will the small Yuyi city be shaken, but the entire Jiangling County will probably experience a major earthquake.
In the Great Xia Dynasty today, everyone knows that the Prime Minister has overwhelming power and is able to cover the sky with one hand.
And he has only one son, Jiang Lan.
If something goes wrong, even if all the heads of Yuyi City are added together, they may not be enough to be chopped off...
Although Zhao Tianhe, a great scholar with a mysterious background, stood on Lin Fan's side.
But at this moment, the city lord Wang Anming could not care about anything. No matter how amazing the background of this great scholar was, could he compare with the current prime minister?
He looked at Lin Fan with a cold look in his eyes, and waved his hand and said, "Come here, capture the assassin who assassinated Young Master Jiang."
As soon as the words fell, a large number of patrol guards wearing armor and carrying long swords on their waists immediately stepped forward, drew their long swords, and surrounded Lin Fan with murderous intent in their eyes.
Lin Fan's pale face looked extremely ugly, and his fists were clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.
Although he stood straight and upright, like a sharp sword, he could not hide his anger and humiliation.
For him, this was a great humiliation.
During the time he spent as a son-in-law of the Su family, he believed that he had experienced the darkest period of his life.
But he still didn't expect that in an occasion like today, in front of everyone, Jiang Lan could still confuse right and wrong and distort the facts.
Even the mayor of Yuyi City did not ask about what happened. Regardless of whether the facts were true or not, he sent people to capture him.
Lin Fan raised a mocking sneer at the corner of his mouth, and swept his eyes over the patrolling guards who had gathered around him. His voice was filled with uncontrollable anger and coldness, "You didn't even ask about the details of the incident, but based on a few words, you concluded that I was an assassin. Is there still law in this world?"
"How dare you! The iron laws of the world are not something you can question."
Wang Anming's expression changed again, and he seemed equally furious, and shouted.
There are naturally no laws in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he dared not say such words.
No matter how this conflict arose, now that Jiang Lan has spoken, even if the Su family's son-in-law is not an assassin, he must be an assassin.
"How could this Su family's son-in-law Lin Fan become an assassin who kills the prime minister's son? Isn't he a useless person with no cultivation?"
"Is this a mistake?"
Everyone here was also extremely confused, but seeing Lin Fan, who was covered in blood and looked like he had obviously been through a battle, they were even more confused.
The useless son-in-law of the Su family is actually no secret in Yuyi City. On the contrary, many people know of his existence.
Basically all the talented and outstanding people of the younger generation know him.
Yuyi City was in an uproar when it was learned that Lin Fan had brought a marriage certificate and married into the Su family, and even Su Qinghan, the most beautiful woman in Yuyi City, was forced to marry him out of her family's helplessness.
Even some of Su Qinghan's suitors who were thousands of miles away came specially to verify the news, and then sighed to the sky, expressing their hatred.
During that period, if Lin Fan dared to leave the Su family, he would definitely be humiliated and beaten by the younger generation in Yu Yicheng who disliked him.
Countless young talents are envious and jealous, and their back teeth are about to be broken.
Fortunately, many people later learned that on the day of Lin Fan and Su Qinghan’s wedding, Su Qinghan left without even completing the ritual of worshiping heaven and earth, and returned to Qingshan Academy, leaving Lin Fan alone in the empty room.
This made many people feel better for a while, but they began to mock Lin Fan, thinking that one day Su Qinghan would definitely find a way to ruin their engagement.
This way, they have a chance.
But this scene now really shocked their cognition.
Everyone in the Su family was equally shocked. Was this still the useless son-in-law they knew?
Where does he get his ability and strength?
