Lin Zhaoji bit her lower lip: "Tell me, are you really Jiang Ruochen?"
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh: "Maybe it's Wang XX, maybe Liu XX, it's just a name, a code name."
"No, what I'm talking about is your life experience and origin."
Jiang Fan shook his head: "If you suspect something like this, you can investigate it. I can't and I don't bother to prove my innocence."
Lin Zhaoji suddenly looked at her seriously: "Jiang Ruochen, no matter who you are, no matter what your purpose is, you'd better not hurt Brother Shi, otherwise, I won't let you go."
Jiang Fan looked at her with interest: "Could it be true as rumored, you and His Highness..."
Lin Zhaoji shook her head: "No need to guess, we grew up together, we are brothers and sisters, we are relatives."
She didn't say what kind of relative they were, and Jiang Fan didn't ask, but the relationship was obviously not simple, and it was also very secretive, otherwise she wouldn't be so protective, and the outside world wouldn't speculate that the two of them have an ambiguous relationship.
"...Do you think if I want to harm him, I need to go to such great lengths?"
Lin Zhaoji looked at her and said for a long time: "I just want to remind you that you are not a warrior. It is easy to kill you."
Jiang Fan smiled faintly, concealing his innate talent. She obviously couldn't see her own cultivation. But the aura she revealed at this moment surprised Jiang Fan. She was actually above the Grandmaster, and she seemed to have restrained herself.
This woman is incredible, she is both civil and martial arts expert? Or is it like Gu Qingshan, where the arts and martial arts are combined into one?
Jiang Fan did not comment on her words, but only told her: "There are no absolutes in this world. What if he wants to kill me?"
Lin Zhaoji was silent for a moment, then turned and left.
——
Sima Jing was very resourceful after all.
Three days later, Jiang Fan received a secret letter from Nangong Xin, saying that he had to leave Yining.
It turned out that the eldest son had used the simplest but very effective method.
kill.
Killed five hundred people in one breath.
It was announced externally that the assassin had been found.
Now that they have found the assassin, Nangong and the others have no need to stay here. Moreover, the second prince was also happy to be clean and wished that Nangong and the others could go back quickly so that they would not have long nights and dreams.
Only Mr. Jiang secretly sighed, these five hundred people were not assassins, they were clearly restless forces in Jing'an County.
The cruel Sima Jing killed two birds with one stone. Not only did he take this opportunity to expel Nangong and others from the fiefdom, but he also launched a general purge.
When Nie Xiaoli notified Wang Chulan in advance of a secret meeting with the Jing'an County Sheriff, Jiang Fan guessed without surprise that the County Sheriff was the first to be killed.
The entire Mu family was also executed, except for Mu Qiuyun.
Speaking of which, Mr. Mu was also lucky. He went to Dafo Mountain to worship the Buddha and seek marriage for the beauty in his heart. Who would have thought that due to a strange combination of circumstances, he could escape with his life.
The Mu family's defeat was not unexpected. Because they did seem to have an affair with the Wang family, and the reason given by the eldest prince for assassinating him was that the Mu family was bold enough to take advantage of the situation in order to dominate the Jing'an family.
Anyway, everyone is dead, and there is no evidence of death. The only survivor escaped from Dafo Mountain and his whereabouts are unknown.
In fact, Jiang Fan understood that this was the opportunity for the eldest prince to clean up Jing'an County in order to completely control the fiefdom.
Anyway, for Nangong Xin and others, the investigation can no longer continue, and for the people behind them, there is no need. The eldest prince has solved the problem for them, and it is proper to withdraw from this place of right and wrong quickly.
Mr. Jiang took the opportunity to say goodbye to his "old club" Nangong Xin, and took the opportunity to explain a few things.
Moreover, she also said goodbye to her new sister Nie Xiaoli, naturally for the purpose of telling things.
The first thing was to tell her to be careful about Wang Chulan and not leave Nangong Xin's sight.
Nie Xiaoli looked at him with a pair of misty eyes, making Mr. Jiang feel as if he was jealous.
Quickly explain clearly that Wang Chulan is a person who adapts to the wind and has unpredictable thoughts, especially with Wang Boyong, an old scumbag behind her, who is afraid that it will be detrimental to her.
Seeing that Nie Xiaoli was distracted and a little vague, he agreed.
Mr. Jiang shook his head helplessly and quickly told her the second important thing, asking her to keep an eye on Xie Sanniang.
This time, Miss Nie's soul was brought back.
Xie Sanniang? Aren't they his?
Jiang Fan just said: I'm not doubting Sanniang, but something feels wrong. For the sake of both of them, she was asked to pay more attention.
Nie Xiaoli was still confused and could only ask what to pay attention to.
Mr. Jiang thought for a while: "Every aspect, especially - emotions."
"You mean the king——"
Jiang Fan raised his finger and pressed it on his lips.
Nie Xiaoli was surprised, his eyes flashed, but he finally said nothing.
It's just that Nie Xiaoli focused entirely on the second thing, but completely ignored the first. And she didn't really think about it. Since this was the first thing Jiang Fan told him, he must have some doubts in his heart.
Sure enough, something happened, but it seemed different from what was expected.
Just when the returning convoy was resting halfway, Wang Chulan looked at Nie Xiaoli with a look of obsession and said that he wanted to invite her to take a walk in the woods and had something to say.
Nie Xiaoli still remembered some of Jiang Fan's words at first, but when he hesitated, he saw Wang Chulan's sincere and apologetic look, and finally let him go. After all, this small forest is right next to the camp, so nothing should happen.
"Little Oriole..." Wang Chulan looked at her with a complicated expression.
"Young Master Wang, please call me Miss Nie."
Nie Xiaoli looked a little cold.
"Alas!" Wang Chulan let out a long sigh: "I know you hate me. But Xiaoli, I really want to say sorry to you."
Nie Xiaoli shook his head: "Young Master Wang is a benefactor, Xiaoli is just a singer, Xiaoli doesn't dare, and can't talk to him."
Wang Chulan looked a little sad: "I don't expect you to forgive me. But I just want to tell you that I was born in a wealthy family and couldn't help myself. If I was nice to you at that time, I would probably harm you."
Nie Xiaoli looked calm and said nothing, but his eyes moved slightly.
"...Little Oriole, you don't understand. At that time, the battle for the inheritance was heating up. I could only stand on the side of the family and obey orders. If others knew that I was really in love with you, they would most likely turn to you. Threaten me. So..."
He said with deep self-blame: "I have no choice but to deliberately alienate you, and even let others think that I just use you as a tool..."
Nie Xiaoli smiled calmly: "Xiaoli is just a tool, a tool for people's entertainment. Why do you say this, Master? Our identities are very different. Don't say this, as it will cause other people to misunderstand."
Wang Chulan suddenly grabbed her wrist: "Xiaoli, do you really not understand my thoughts about you?"
Nie Xiaoli struggled to break away: "Master Wang, please respect yourself, Xiaoli is just singing."
Wang Chulan suddenly slapped herself hard: "It's all my fault, I'm not worthy, I'm incompetent, I deserve to die!"
Nie Xiaoli just looked at him coldly: "Master Wang, why are you doing this? Xiaoli can't understand."
Wang Chulan said bitterly: "It's all the fault of King Xiaoyao. Everything was done on purpose by him. He just wanted to use you to make me lose my sense of proportion and then attack the Wang family. Can't you understand?"
