Chapter 616: Counterattack



The scene suddenly became quiet, and countless eyes turned towards him.

There is actually such a bold maid.

The person who was splashed was a secretary of the Honglu Temple. Although his official position was not high, he was still an official appointed by the court. It was hard to imagine that a lowly maid could just splash a glass of wine at him in public. The action was so clean and neat that it was simply unimaginable.

The temple official, whose face was covered in wine, was also stunned. After a moment, he came to his senses and flew into a rage: "You bold bitch——"

Jinlinwei commander Han Ran had already strode over.

Jiang Si lowered his eyes and whispered, "Sir, it's him——"

Han was startled for a moment, but reacted quickly and secretly praised Princess Yan for her intelligence.

Pointing out someone with a problem in this way will not cause any suspicion among others.

If Jiang Si knew Han Ran was thinking this way, he would laugh and say that the other party was overthinking.

She drank the glass of wine simply because she was disgusted by the pervert's behavior and wanted to vent her anger first.

Han Ran looked at Si Cheng with a stern face.

The temple secretary felt aggrieved: "Master Han, look at this slave girl——"

This small banquet was organized by Han Ran under the command of Jin Linwei. Even though they were usually wary of Jin Linwei, Jin Linwei was the host and they were the guests. When a maid had a problem at the host's banquet, the guests could naturally be more tough.

Besides, Si Cheng never thought that Han Ran would protect such a bold maid.

But who knew that something unexpected would happen.

Han Ran glanced at Si Cheng's face and said coldly, "Take him away."

Si Cheng coughed lightly and said, "Master Han, please don't punish a little ignorant maid too harshly..."

Before he could finish his words, two Scaled Guards came forward and held his shoulders.

The temple secretary was shocked: "Master Han, what do you mean?"

Han Ran glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "Take him away!"

"Master Han, Master Han——"

The two Jinscale Guards ignored the temple secretary's calls and struggled, quickly dragging the man away.

The hall was quiet, without the sound of clinking cups.

Everyone was stunned and couldn't help swallowing.

What happened? He just touched the maid's hand. He didn't touch the key point. He wouldn't be thrown into prison, right?

Han Ran smiled at everyone and said, "Everyone, continue drinking."

Everyone stared at the wine glasses in front of them, and the originally mellow wine seemed tasteless.

It's so scary, who can drink it? I'll lose all my courage.

"Then I'll drink first as a sign of respect." Han Ran raised the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing that Han Ran had finished drinking, everyone dared not hesitate any longer and raised their glasses.

Han Ran put the empty wine glass on the maid's tray and said to Jiang Si indifferently, "You come with me too."

Jiang Si followed Han Ran and left the hall silently.

When they were alone, Han Ran immediately bowed to Jiang Siyi and said, "I'm sorry for offending you today..."

Jiang Si smiled slightly: "No problem. Sir Han, please bring me a glass of wine."

Han Ran immediately brought a glass of wine.

Jiang Shi took a silver needle and pierced his fingertip, squeezing out a drop of blood into the wine glass, causing the originally amber wine to turn a light red.

She shook the glass, and soon the wine returned to its original color. She handed it to Han Ran with a smile on her face: "Master Han, if you let the temple minister drink this glass of wine, the worms in his body will come out."

Han Ran took the wine glass, his lips moving, and he really wanted to ask where the bugs came from, but he felt that the answer to this question was very scary, so it was better not to ask.

"Princess, I don't know if anyone else—"

"Everyone else is fine." After giving the instructions, Jiang Si quietly got on a carriage parked behind the government office and headed for Prince Yan's Mansion.

Si Cheng was brought into a room. Just as he was feeling anxious, he saw Han Ran walk in.

He stood up suddenly: "Master Han——"

Han Ran held two wine glasses, handed one over, and said with a smile, "I apologize to Master Liu for the poor hospitality."

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it." Liu Sicheng took the wine glass with great fear and trepidation.

Han Ran touched his glass and said, "Let's drink this glass of wine."

Liu Sicheng hesitated for a moment while holding the wine glass.

In the hall, Commander Han spoke so harshly, but now he is so gentle and kind. Could this be a poisoned drink?

Thinking of this, Liu Sicheng's hand holding the wine glass began to tremble, and the amber wine began to ripple, threatening to spill at any time.

Han Ran's face darkened and he said coldly, "Why, Master Liu won't give me this face?"

"No." Liu Sicheng made up his mind and drank the wine in the glass.

If the commander of the Scaled Guard wanted to kill him, there was no way to escape, so he might as well just drink it.

Han Ran smiled slightly and casually placed the wine glass in his hand on the table beside him.

Liu Sicheng's face turned even paler when he saw this. Suddenly his stomach churned and he opened his mouth to vomit.

As the strong stench of alcohol filled the air, Han Ran's eyes narrowed and he found a wriggling worm in the vomit.

At this moment, his scalp went numb and all the hairs on his body stood up.

Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you know that such a miraculous thing can happen. The Princess of Yan is very capable.

After Liu Sicheng finished vomiting, he didn't bother to look at the mess on the ground. He wanted to say something to Han Ran with a pale face.

Han Ran smiled slightly: "It seems that Master Liu has drunk too much. Master Liu, don't worry too much. When you sober up, I have something to ask you about Wu Miao. Come, help Master Liu to rest somewhere else."

Soon two Scaled Guards appeared and took Liu Sicheng away. Liu Sicheng never noticed the worm that was slowly wriggling in the vomit.

After everyone left, Han squatted down, pinched his nose, picked up the worm with chopsticks, and put it into the small box he carried with him.

Of course he couldn't just rely on words when reporting to the emperor. Whether the emperor wanted to take a look at the bug or not, he had to bring it over.

In the study, Emperor Jingming was waiting for news from Han Ran.

"Your Majesty, Commander Han requests an audience."

"Send him in."

Soon Han Ran came in, bowed, and said to Emperor Jingming: "Your Majesty, Princess Yan found that Liu Sicheng had worms in his body."

Emperor Jingming's face darkened.

He had this worry, but he didn't expect that the Wu Miao people would actually take action.

"Did it alarm anyone else?"

Han Ran quickly told the details.

Emperor Jingming looked strange and asked, "You mean, the Princess of Yan, who was disguised as a maid, poured a glass of wine directly on Liu Sicheng's face?"

"That's right, so I took the princess and Liu Sicheng away."

Emperor Jingming laughed for the first time and said to Pan Hai, "I knew that the Princess of Yan was a quick-witted person."

As for Liu Sicheng, he is such a frivolous official as an imperial official. Let him go home and grow sweet potatoes.

Seeing Emperor Jingming's smile, Pan Hai secretly expressed his gratitude to Jiang Si and said with a smile, "It's all because of your Majesty's discerning eye."

Emperor Jingming stopped laughing and asked Han Ran: "How is it now?"

"The worms in Liu Sicheng's body have been vomited out. When he sobers up, we will interrogate him about who he had contact with in Wu Miao." Han Ran paused and asked, "Will the emperor take a look?"

Emperor Jingming was stunned for a moment before he realized what Han Ran asked him to review. He immediately twitched his lips and said, "No need."

He is not that curious yet, but it is time to fight back against Wu Miao!
