I Transmigrated As A Prison Guard And Suppressed The Princess - Chapter 439
[Chapter 421 First day in office!]
“Yes.” Shui Ling nodded unabashedly.
He held his head proudly, like a rooster winning the battle, and didn’t care about the playful eyes of his aunt.
“He’s here, it means that he has me in his heart.”
“Then tell me, why did he come to see you now after he came back from outside for so long?
” Jian Twelve and the others are getting married, and they are very busy, so they can’t wait to come and see me right after this matter is over.”
“…” Shui Rou was speechless.
The niece is hopeless, completely possessed.
soon.
They cooked another six dishes, came out of the kitchen, and put the dishes on the table.
Shui Rou said with a smile: “I kept you waiting.”
“It’s okay.” Xiao Ran shook his head.
The two sat down.
Shui Ling sat beside her, holding homemade millet wine, and poured it enthusiastically for him.
This kind of wine tastes very sweet, but it has a strong aftertaste. When the strength of the wine comes up, you can get drunk quickly.
They also drank a little, but most of them were still drunk by Xiao Ran.
He also didn’t have the power to refine alcohol, so while eating vegetables, he listened to her explaining the details of these days.
With the Supreme Holy Body of the Seven Treasures and Glazed Glass, plus the exercises taught to her by Xiao Ran, and the elixirs left behind, the most important point is that Shui Ling practiced very seriously and quickly, and now she is in the Xuanzong realm of cultivation.
She has become more and more proficient in mastering the Qibao Liuli Supreme Holy Body. She found that as long as she moistens the ingredients with spiritual power, they can make their delicious taste even better. There are benefits.
From then on, the first thing she did when she got up every day was to nourish the ingredients with her own spiritual power, and then she started to make breakfast.
It can not only improve her control over spiritual power, but also make business better.
up to now.
Shuirou Tofu Shop is already very famous in this area, but everyone in the neighborhood knows that despite the simple breakfast, there are only two aunts and daughters, but there are big people behind it.
No matter whether it is the government, the patrolling yamen servants, or the rogues, they dare not make their minds, for fear of offending the iron plate.
now.
When it comes to Shuirou Tofu Shop, almost everyone in the capital knows about it.
“Not bad.” Xiao Ran praised.
“If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be where I am now.” Shui Ling shook her head.
Seeing them throwing dog food, Shuirou rolled her eyes.
Seeing that Xiao Ran had finished drinking the millet wine, he went to fetch another jar, the three of them ate and chatted, and in the end, Shui Ruan and Shui Ling were drunk, so they went back to rest first.
When Xiao Ran came out of the hut, he took a look, and walked towards Shui Ling’s room with a sense of drunkenness.
Don’t delay when picking melons.
When he got here, he pushed the door, but it was unlocked. It seemed that the people inside had reserved the door for him, but it was pitch black, and he couldn’t see his fingers.
Coupled with his drunkenness, the stamina of the millet wine broke out, and he didn’t have the power to refine the wine, so he staggered in… The
next day.
When he got up, Shui Ling and Shui Rou had already prepared breakfast, judging from the girl’s face, everything was normal, nothing could be distinguished, as if nothing happened.
On the contrary, Shuirou, when she was having breakfast, she lowered her head and didn’t know what she was thinking.
Leaving some cultivation pills for Shui Ling, Xiao Ran walked towards a courtyard somewhere in the east city.
for a while.
Xiao Ran entered an ordinary courtyard, but there was a universe in the courtyard, guarding some people, all of them were cultivated, they were all from the God Prison, and this place was also one of the strongholds of the God Prison.
See him coming.
Xiao Mang and Xiao Yi quickly walked out from the inside, stopped in front of him, and saluted with fists together: “I’ve seen you!”
“Talk inside.” They
entered the hall.
Sitting on the main seat, Xiao Mang made a pot of tea, poured a cup, and placed it respectfully in front of Xiao Ran.
Holding the teacup, holding the tea lid for a few times, he was not in a hurry to drink.
Asked: “These days, if I’m not in the capital, can something unusual happen?”
“No!” Xiao Mang shook his head.
“Supported by the huge cultivation resources left behind by you, my lord, the Divine Prison is developing rapidly, and strictly implements your requirements. As long as the elites and those who are absolutely loyal, no one else will be considered.”
We chatted for a while.
Tell them that Zi’er will be in charge of the Divine Prison in the future, and then tell them to practice well. It is important to develop power, but it is also crucial to improve their own strength. Without absolute strength support, everything is a castle in the air.
Leave here and walk towards the Divine Sword Guard.
He is now the deputy sword master of the Divine Sword Guard. Logically speaking, he should report to the Divine Sword Guard on the day after the reward.
But there are many things at hand, and I have been busy until now, and I have no time until today.
Arrived at Excalibur Guard.
The guard at the gate saw him coming, and saluted respectfully: “I’ve seen Lord Hou!”
“Yeah.” Xiao Ran nodded.
After a few steps, Shen Yiming came out quickly, as if he was waiting for him, and greeted him with a smile: “Come on!”
“If I don’t come again, others will say that I have nothing to do with my salary.”
“Who dares? “Shen Yiming rolled his eyes.
“Master Lei Sword is waiting for you.” The
two entered Lei Yuantai’s hall all the way.
In the hall.
Lei Yuantai sat on the main seat, saw him coming, walked down from the main seat, and warmly greeted him, “Here he is.”
“Yes.” Xiao Ran nodded.
“I thought you would come over in two days, but I didn’t expect you to come so soon.” Lei Yuantai laughed.
Warmly greet the two to sit down.
After chatting with the parents, we got down to business, and arranged the duties in charge of him again.
Lei Yuantai said again: “There is something just for you.”
“Tell me.”
“On the night of Jian Twelve’s wedding, the household department was stolen, 100 million silver, and some important treasures disappeared. We are responsible for us, we have been investigating for a few days, but there is still no clue, I want to leave it to you, what do you think?”
“It seems that this case is not within the scope of my responsibility?”
“Yes.” Lei Yuan Tai nodded.
“The deputy sword master who was in charge of this case has been killed by the murderer. If you don’t come here again, we will discuss and let other people take charge of this matter.”
“A deputy sword master was killed? Why didn’t I do this?” Have you heard of it?” Xiao Ran frowned.
Shen Yiming rolled his eyes at him angrily, then took the words and said: “You still have the nerve to say it? In the past few days, you are so busy. Even if I want to find you, you don’t have time.”
Xiao Ran was speechless.
It’s true that Shen Yiming approached him twice. He was really busy at that time and didn’t have time to receive him, so he found a reason to decline.
Presumably it was because the household department was stolen and the deputy sword master was killed.
but.
They blocked the news very well. He had never heard of such a big thing.
“What do you think? If you don’t want to take over, I’m arranging for someone else.” Lei Yuantai said.
“Okay! I’m next.” Xiao Ran nodded.
leave his palace.
The higher-ups wanted to change him to a new office space, but Xiao Ran refused, and it was still comfortable to live in the old yard.
Separated from Shen Yiming, he is also the deputy sword master, and he also has his own work to do, so he brought Xiao Zhou with him, and led a group of people to the household department.
on the way.
Xiao Zhou chirped and chattered like a bird, telling everything that happened to Shen Jianwei these days.
finished listening.
Xiao Ran has counted, it is still the same as before, but more busy.
Especially after the state of Zhou was robbed, some martial arts masters of Zhou felt aggrieved and wanted to vent their anger on Daxia, so they sneaked into the capital to sabotage or kill people.
In the beginning, there was a lot of commotion, and Daxia was caught off guard, which indeed brought a lot of losses to Daxia. With the operation of the court, the five major departments including Excalibur Guard took over the matter, and the situation was better. These people suppressed them one after another.
“Brother Xiao, do you think this matter was done by people from the Xia Kingdom?” Xiao Zhou asked.
“It’s hard to say anything before it’s determined.” During the
speech.
Everyone has already arrived at the Ministry of Households. This is not the first time they have come here. Before this, Xiao Ran had come here twice, but each time they made trouble very unpleasantly.
Seeing the people of Shenjianwei coming, the current person in charge of the household department is Zuo Shilang, who immediately greeted him. He was just transferred from the Ministry of Rites. As for the original Hubu Shangshu and others, they were stolen along with the household department Afterwards, all of them were taken down and imprisoned in sky prisons.
That’s why Xiao Ran didn’t go to the sky prison these two days, otherwise he would know what happened here.
“I’ve seen Lord Hou!” Zuo Shilang saluted respectfully.
“Take Benhou to the warehouse.”
“Master Hou, please this way!”
Under his leadership, they walked around and stopped at the warehouse.
The surrounding area was sealed off, and the gate was still sealed. The scene was well protected. Even so, when the murderer left, he destroyed the scene. Judging from the present, no useful news could be obtained.
Xiao Ran stepped forward, checked them one by one, and then took off the seal, entered the warehouse, and checked again. He looked very carefully and did not miss every single place.
It took a while to check the warehouse.
“Does Brother Xiao have any clues?” Xiao Zhou asked impatiently.
Although he got married and matured a lot, but in front of his own people, he is still the same as before, and he can ask whatever he wants, and this has not changed.
“Go to the prison.” Xiao Ran said.
Taking them away from the household department, Zuo Shilang wanted to ask something, but because his rank was too low, he didn’t dare to ask at all.
To the dungeon.
Let the rest of the Excalibur Guards stay outside, and he and Xiao Zhou go in.
“Brother Xiao, why are you here together?” Zhang Yu hurriedly put down his teacup and walked up to meet him.
“It’s about the household department.” Xiao Ran said.
“Brother Xiao, the Excalibur Guard asked you to take charge of this matter?”
“Yeah.”
“A lot of people were arrested this time, including the Secretary of the Household Department, a total of more than 20 people were arrested. It can be said that the household department was wiped out, and according to the requirements of the above, these people were all detained on the eighth floor.” Zhang Yu introduced.
“Go!”
He led them to the eighth floor.
Sit on the chair and ask Zhang Yu to bring the Hubu Shangshu.
In the past, the high-ranking Hubu Shangshu was reduced to a prisoner overnight. He was imprisoned in the sky prison, still in the harsh environment of the eighth floor, and was tortured by the interrogators. For him, life is better than death. To be uncomfortable.
But if this matter is not resolved, he will be stigmatized for the rest of his life. Even if he dies, he will be stabbed in the back. Even his family members and the three clans will be killed. This is what he has been supporting s reason.
Being interrogated again, Hubu Shangshu no longer has any hope.
It has been a few days since the incident happened, but the people in the imperial court are good. They usually think of nothing more than bragging. When it comes to critical times, let them solve the case without showing any regulations.
So far, let alone the murderer, there are no clues.
Like a walking dead, he was brought over by Zhang Yu and stopped in front of Xiao Ran.
“Hou, Lord Hou?” Hubu
Shangshu’s old eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly.
He had heard about Xiao Ran’s name countless times, and he was there when the heavens canonized him in the hall.
Seeing him here, he also thought of Xiao Ran’s other official position, the deputy sword master of the divine sword guard. In this way, isn’t this matter entrusted to him?
Like a drowning child, seeing hope, it is the first time that he can get out of here.
“Sit.” Xiao Ran pointed to the opposite chair.
A jailer pulled the chair away, and then unchained his hands and feet, allowing him to sit opposite.
He poured a cup out of the teapot and placed it in front of him.
“Thank you!” Tobu Shangshu was grateful.
After becoming a prisoner, he once again felt respected, and the person facing him was still Xiao Ran, a dignitary of Great Xia.
Drink the tea in one gulp.
Putting down the teacup, he asked seriously, “Master Hou came here for this matter?”
“Yes.” Xiao Ran responded.
“This Marquis is in charge of this matter now, tell me everything you know.” The
Minister of the Household Department did not hide anything, and told the truth of the matter.
From what he said, it was the same day as usual, and nothing unusual happened, but in the middle of the night, people from the Divine Sword Guard broke in and arrested him and his family. Tell him that the household department was stolen, 100 million silver disappeared, and some precious treasures.
To him, this news is simply a nightmare, like a person sitting at home, and a disaster comes from the sky, knocking him from the sky to the dust all at once.
finished.
Hubu Shangshu looked at him quietly, not daring to disturb Xiao Ran’s analysis.
“Take him down so he can take care of him.” Xiao Ran ordered.
Zhang Yu waved his hand, and the jailer took him down.
After he disappeared, Xiao Zhou asked the doubts in his heart: “Brother Xiao, do you really believe him?
” The method is intact and has not been damaged by external force. It is obvious that someone opened the formation and then entered it.
“En.” Xiao Ran nodded.
“Whether a person is lying or not, you can tell by looking at his eyes. If he is really lying, no matter how much he hides, he will show his feet.”
At his level, he has seen too many scenes. Whether a person lies again can be seen at a glance.
It was precisely because of this that he was asked to sit down and had the following instructions.
“Bring the left servant of the household department.”
