Chapter 613: The Scene of the Exposure [Additional Update]
Since the elders of the Qiao family came in person, it was natural that the elders of the Ling family had to come out as well.
The elder held the Buddhist beads in his hand and said calmly: "Yes, I can testify that Chonglou and I have always been together."
Although he didn't like Jiang Huaping, he was also dissatisfied with Ling Chonglou because of this.
But it is also impossible to show it to outsiders.
As for the incident of slapping the head of the Qiao family, the Great Elder just turned a blind eye and let it go.
After all, Jiang Ran was injured so badly, and as a father, Ling Zhonglou couldn't help but be angry.
"If you didn't do it, wouldn't others do it?" Elder Qiao sneered, "Ling Mianxi and Jiang Ran have the best relationship in your family, so she must have done it!"
"Elder Qiao San, what you said is wrong again." Ling Zhonglou said indifferently, "Although Xiao Mian is a genius, she has also practiced ancient martial arts for more than 60 years."
"Tell me, how did she manage to knock down Qiao Dong and Qiao Ting by herself?"
Third Elder Qiao retorted: "Why not? Ling Mianxi has so many tricks up her sleeve, who knows how she did it?"
He was very tough: "I don't care about anything else, I just want an explanation today!"
On the side, Ling Dongqing smiled and said, "Fourth brother, I think what Third Elder Qiao said is right. If you don't take action, you have a lot of guards under your command, right?"
"You have two personal guards, both of whom are ancient martial arts masters. Why can't you take action?"
After saying that, Ling Dongqing turned around and said, "Great Elder, our Ling family has never taken sides, and many big families are eyeing us covetously. Ling Chonglou is deliberately provoking a fight at this time. Do you think he is still worthy of being the head of this family?"
He said sternly, "Back then, when he married an ordinary person, many families complained about our Ling family. Now that something like this has happened again, we must remove him from his position as the head of the family!"
The Great Elder frowned and was about to speak when his arm was suddenly hugged.
Ling Mianxi blinked and began to complain: "Great-grandfather, he slandered me. I was at the Ling family yesterday."
The elder's eyes suddenly became sharp: "You said Xiaomian did it, do you have evidence?"
"This..." Elder Qiao was speechless for a moment, very angry, "Do you think our Qiao family is like your Ling family, with cameras everywhere?"
Ying Zijin drank tea quietly, his face calm and without any reaction.
Elder Qiao San didn't even think about other people and was extremely angry.
Ling Zhonglou spoke again: "What a coincidence, the guards under my command did not leave the Ling family yesterday, and two personal guards were protecting Xiao Ran, and there are people who can testify.
Hearing this, Ling Dongqing's eyes became sinister.
He could conclude that the person who sneaked into the Qiao family must be from Ling Chonglou's side.
Otherwise, why would Ling Chonglou have made preparations in advance?
"Okay, just wait!" Third Elder Qiao left angrily, "I will pass the matter to the Fan family right away. Wait, if you provoke the Qiao family, your Ling family will not have an easy time either."
Ling Dongqing's eyes rolled, and he was about to speak, but Ling Mianxi spoke first.
"Grandpa, what should I do? Am I causing trouble?"
"Don't be afraid." The Great Elder comforted Ling Mianxi in turn, "They don't have evidence, so they can't act rashly against us. Ask the Justice Hall to come, and the Justice Hall will only stand on our side."
Ling Mianxi nodded obediently: "That's good, that's good, Grandpa, my cultivation has improved again, you can try it."
The Great Elder's attention was completely drawn away, and he was very surprised: "Another breakthrough? Good, good, let's go to the training ground."
A crisis was resolved just like that.
Ling Dongqing crushed a glass and sneered, "Ling Zhonglou, just stay close to Ling Mianxi. Just wait."
Ling Mianxi's father died early, when she was two years old, leaving her alone with her widowed mother.
Many people wanted to drive them out.
It was Ling Chonglou who brought Ling Mianxi and her daughter over and looked after them together with Jiang Huaping.
At the age of six, Ling Mianxi showed unparalleled talent in ancient martial arts.
This attracted the entire elders' attention, and the ancestor of the Ling family even came out to teach her personally.
Ling Dongqing felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier that Ling Mianxi was such a genius, would this good opportunity have been snatched away by Ling Chonglou?
Otherwise, how could Ling Chonglou be the head of the family today?
Ling Zhonglou smiled faintly: "I'll wait."
Ling Dongqing was also angry and left.
Ling Zhonglou let out a breath slowly.
He stood up, his expression solemn: "Zijin, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. This time, it's all thanks to your help. I thank you on behalf of Xiaoran."
"Uncle Ling is polite." Ying Zijin nodded, "He also took care of me in school."
"That kid." Ling Zhonglou shook his head. "You saved his life twice. I can't repay you for your kindness. Otherwise, I'll give him to you as your son. You can use him as you like."
"Then let's not do it." Ying Zijin thought for a moment, "He said that if he had a son, he would be unable to resist bullying him, and Jiang Ran's body might not be able to handle it."
Ling Zhonglou: “…”
**
The next day.
Jiang Ran's injury has completely healed.
Ling Chonglou still has to stay in the Ling family, and Ling Mianxi and Ying Zijin will accompany him.
Ying Zijin pressed down her mask and said, "I'll go for a walk. Call me when the game starts."
"Hey——" Before Jiang Ran could stop her, the girl had already left.
He was a little annoyed: "Sister, why don't you stop me? This is the Judicial Hall. What if something happens?"
"What could it be?" Ling Mianxi bit her lollipop. "You underestimate Ah Ying. Maybe she knows someone in the Justice Hall."
Before Jiang Ran could say anything, a sarcastic voice came.
"Who do you know in the Justice Hall? Stop bragging! Jiang Ran, you're lucky to be able to wake up."
Qiao Ting couldn't believe it either.
Jiang Ran was beaten up by Qiao Dong a few days ago, but now he can get out of bed.
Now the unconscious person became Qiao Dong.
The Qiao family also invited an ancient doctor to see him, but he was unable to be cured.
In the end, between the high price of medicinal materials and Qiao Dong, he chose to give up Qiao Dong.
Qiao Ting was so angry that his teeth were itching.
Without Qiao Dong, he would have a hard time in the Hall of Justice.
Jiang Ran turned around and sneered: "I have a father, what do you have?"
Qiao Ting didn’t understand what he said, but his expression was still mocking: “The news that my uncle is in a coma has spread throughout the Justice Hall. It’s not something you did, but it has something to do with you.”
"Just wait, you will not have an easy time, the higher-ups will punish you!"
As if to confirm this statement, a steward hurried over from the east.
"Jiang Ran." He stopped and looked at Jiang Ran first before speaking, "The Shadow Master wants you to come over."
Jiang Ran was stunned: "What did you say?"
"Master Ying," the steward urged, "why don't you hurry over?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Ting was overjoyed: "Hahahaha, Jiang Ran, you're done! You actually alarmed the Shadow Seat, and you still want to challenge me. It's a question whether you can come out alive later!"
"You deserve it, you really deserve it! Even if you could come out and the Shadow Seat warned you, would you still dare to attack me? Hahahaha!"
The other guards also looked over.
Some were surprised, some were gloating.
Jiang Ran was too young, and his ancient martial arts skills were so high, which made him a thorn in the eyes of many people.
Jiang Ran clenched his fingers and whispered, "Sister, wait for me, I'll be back soon."
Ling Mianxi frowned: "I'll go with you and wait for you outside. If anything happens, just scream."
She definitely couldn't beat Ying, but there was no way she wouldn't protect her brother.
The two followed the steward to a building.
The steward stopped Ling Mianxi and let Jiang Ran go in by himself.
Jiang Ran was a little nervous.
Not to mention that he is just a fifth-level guard of the Hall of Justice, even a first-level guard is not qualified to meet with the top leaders of the Hall of Justice.
The Judicial Hall has a clear division of labor.
The two guardians on the left and right lead the guard team to maintain the security of the ancient martial arts world.
The elders are highly respected and are responsible for making decisions on all matters, big and small.
The four priests are in charge of the punishment of criminals and anyone else who violates the rules of the ancient martial arts world.
Only the shadow comes and goes without a trace, as if it controls everything.
Jiang Ran gritted his teeth and walked in.
The hall was empty.
The man sat on a high place, his head supported by his hands, his eyelashes drooping.
Jiang Ran could feel the strong air pressure coming from him.
It's almost suffocating.
Could it be that the Qiao family really used the help of the Fan family to find Ying and punish him?
Jiang Ran straightened his chest, closed his eyes, and made up his mind: "I'm not afraid of you, come on, kill me or chop me up, at most in nineteen years, I'll be a hero again!"
“…”
The hall was silent for a while.
Then, a laugh fell, with a bit of cynicism and romance: "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Ran suddenly felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.
He looked up blankly.
On the high seat, the man slowly took off his mask.
A familiar handsome face.
Familiar peach blossom eyes.
A natural smile with a deep allure.
Fu Yunshen clasped his hands together, raised his eyebrows, and said slowly: "Why should I kill you or cut you?"
Added more, the ranking dropped, and then asked for monthly tickets~~
