Hearing the strong man's words, Zhang Ran didn't expect that Zhao Yi would suspect Zhao Pu's death on himself. He had already cleared up all the clues. As expected of a big family, he could find out about himself even if there were no clues. But On what basis did Zhao Yi doubt himself?
Why not kill yourself, but arrest yourself? This is because you want to investigate the cause of Zhao Pu's death from your own mouth.
Find an opportunity to go to Zhao's house to investigate.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ran looked at the strong man, a cold light shot out, and the strong man's head fell to the ground.
The strong man knows too much to live.
Both the dwarf and the strong man were at the third level of blood refining, and the gap between them and Zhang Ran was huge. Zhang Ran could easily kill them even with simple moves.
Then Zhang Ran's two fireballs flew out and landed on the dwarf and the strong man, burning the two bodies into ashes.
Then Zhang Ran left here.
Zhang Ran returned home, secretly released the dwarf, and ordered the dwarf to protect Zhang Dieer and Song Sha secretly. As long as they were attacked, the dwarf would attack.
After the dwarf fought in the haunted house, Zhang Ran discovered a problem. The experience gained by the dwarf after killing the ghost improved his own level, not the level of the dwarf. This shows that the dwarf does not rely on killing to improve. Level, but there is also level improvement behind the dwarves.
After several months of exploration by Zhang Ran, Zhang Ran finally figured out how to level up a dwarf. It was similar to buying skills. Buying skills required silver, but wanting to level up a dwarf required jade.
As long as the dwarf absorbs jade, the level can be improved. So after knowing this, Zhang Ran began to spend all his money to buy jade in the jade workshop. It was a pity that there was no place specializing in selling jade in the Ming Dynasty, only places that sold utensils made from jade. For example, jade bracelets, jade bottles, jade ruyi, etc. are more expensive to buy.
Zhang Ran and the boss of Yufang talked hard and wanted to buy jade raw materials from Yufang, but finally paid three times the price of the raw materials for the jade before the boss agreed. But Zhang Ran was very satisfied with this. It was cheaper than buying those jade items. It saved him a lot of money.
Finally, before the child exam, he bought enough jade to upgrade the dwarf to a level, but Zhang Ran didn't have much money left, so he bought all the jade.

There is no need for Zhang Ran to intervene in Zhang Kuan's case. After all, Zhang Kuan is a catcher in the yamen, and he is also an old man in the yamen. Even if he wants to deal with Zhang Kuan, he has to think about it.
At night, Zhang Ran put on black clothes, used the fading technique, and entered the Zhao family. However, Zhang Ran did not detect any information. It was not that the Zhao family's defense was of great importance, but because the Zhao family had a rule. , the lights were turned off after midnight, so when Zhang Ran entered Zhao's house, everything was dark and he found nothing.
Zhang Ran stayed in the billiards hall the next day. After four months, the meteor hammer technique had reached perfection. Zhang Ran no longer needed to practice, but played billiards to relax.
While they were playing billiards, Zhang Dieer ran over and said, "The head of the Yamen team is looking for you."
What was the class leader doing? Could it be that he was announcing the rankings, but that was impossible. There were two days of grading. Zhang Ran walked to the front hall with doubts. When he saw the class leader waiting, Zhang Ran walked over.
Zhang Ran said: "The squad leader is here, it's too late to welcome him from afar."
"Master Zhang is joking." The squad leader said, "I am here to deliver you an invitation from the county magistrate. I invite Master Zhang to attend the county magistrate's family dinner this afternoon." As he said this, he took out an invitation from his arms. Handed it over.
Zhang Ran took the invitation, which was written in gilt font and was very formal.
The class leader sent the invitation and left.
Zhang Ran came to the gate of the county government office in the afternoon. The county magistrate lived in the county government office. Zhang Ran took out the invitation. The catcher guarding the gate let Zhang Ran in. A catcher led Zhang Ran to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate was very enthusiastic. Zhang Ran listened to the magistrate's instructions and sat next to Zhang Ran. After the magistrate asked the maid to serve Zhang Ran a cup of tea, the magistrate and Zhang Ran started talking freely. Most of them talked about Qu. Relatedly, after all, Zhang Ran had listened to a lot of music in his previous life. Although he didn't know much about Daming's music, Zhang Ran could still answer it freely, and the county magistrate heard many wonderful ideas about the music from Zhang Ran's mouth. I feel more and more that Zhang Ran is a great talent in music.
After talking for two hours, it was time for dinner. The magistrate asked his servants to spread a table full of delicious food. The magistrate called his wife and two concubines to come over. The magistrate only had one daughter, but He is only two years old and is being taken care of by a wet nurse and has not come up yet.
Seeing that the county magistrate has mobilized the whole family, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to Zhang Ran.
After dinner, Zhang Ran said goodbye and left.
The next day, Guan Zheng found Zhang Ran and wanted to invite Zhang Ran. In fact, Guan Zheng had gone to see Zhang Ran yesterday, but Zhang Ran had already been invited by the county magistrate. Guan Zheng had no choice but to come early today.
Guan Zheng took Zhang Ran to the restaurant and started eating and drinking. Halfway through the meal, Guan Qing came and started eating too. After eating, Guan Qing returned to Wuhu Martial Arts School. Guan Zheng and Zhang Ran went together. I went to see the list. It was noon and it was time to publish the list.
When Zhang Ran and Guan Zheng arrived, many Confucian scholars gathered here, gathered in front of the list and looked to see where they were and whether they had passed the examination.
But before Zhang Ran and Guan Zheng approached, there were shouts: "Zhang Ran is here." "The first place is here." "The God of Music is here."......
Then all the Confucian scholars surrounding the list gathered around Zhang Ran. When Zhang Ran saw this scene, his expression changed, and he used his flying skills to leave the place quickly. He would not have shed his skin if he was surrounded.
Zhang Ran didn't need to look any further. After listening to their words, Zhang Ran knew his ranking on the list. He was ranked first in the Tong Kao test.
As soon as the list of children's exams was announced, Zhang Ran became completely famous in Qiantang County. Everyone knew that Zhang Ran wrote the famous song "Wanjiang" that will last forever. And on the day Zhang Ran wrote "Wanjiang", the entire Qiantang County was I saw the illusion and heard the singing, because "Wanjiang" is so catchy that even the residents of Qiantang County can sing a few lines after hearing it, so the singing of "Wanjiang" can be heard from time to time throughout Qiantang County.
At first, Zhang Ran won the first place in the three major martial arts schools, but it was only circulated in some martial arts circles. But as soon as the song "Wanjiang" came out, everyone in Qiantang County knew about Zhang Ran.
So people come to visit Zhang Ran from time to time, some admire Zhang Ran's literary talent, some want to ask Zhang Ran to write a song, some value Zhang Ran and want to get close to Zhang Ran, etc.
However, apart from He Lun of Juxian School, Zhang Ran met him once. After all, it was He Lun who recommended Zhang Ran to take the children's examination.
He Lun was excited when he heard Zhang Ran composed the song "Wanjiang". Although Zhang Ran had not studied at Juxian Academy, he recommended Zhang Ran in the name of Juxian Academy, and Zhang Ran became famous. , many people heard that Zhang Ran had graduated from Juxian Academy, and sent their children to study in Juxian Academy. Suddenly, Juxian Academy became famous.
He Lun's visit had two purposes. One was to thank Zhang Ran, and the other was to visit Juxian Academy when Zhang Ran was free. However, Zhang Ran neither refuted nor agreed. He just said that if there was a chance in the future, he would do it without refuting. Well, there will be another chance in the future, He Lun said goodbye and left happily.
All the other Zhang Dieer declined, saying that Zhang Ran was in seclusion and was concentrating on writing the second song without seeing anyone.
Zhang Ran left Qiantang County and went to Dongwang Village. Zhang Ran had drinks with Guan Zheng from time to time. Guan Zheng knew that Zhang Ran was looking for natural treasures like Ganoderma lucidum and mountain ginseng. Guan Zheng learned about a plant The news of the three-hundred-year-old sugar cane was told to Zhang Ran at the wine table. It was said that the three-hundred-year-old sugar cane was dug out of the sugar cane forest on the low mountain in Dongwang Village and is now in the Chen family medicine shop in Dongwangcai.
Guan Zheng sent someone to buy it, but shopkeeper Chen of Chen's Pharmacy wouldn't sell it, so he could only tell Zhang Ran and let Zhang Ran think of a solution.
After Zhang Ran got the news, he immediately went to Dongwang Village. As long as he got three hundred years of sugar cane and let the three-headed snake eat it, he would definitely make the three-headed snake one step further. The three-headed snake was really too weak. It couldn't help him at all during the battle.
Zhang Ran used his walking skills to head towards Dongwang Village. It only took Zhang Ran half a day to arrive.
This time is different from when Zhang Ran came to Qiantang County. At this time, Zhang Ran is already 8 years old, one year older, and already at level 11.
When Zhang Ran entered Dongwang County, he asked about the location of Chen's Pharmacy. After finding out, Zhang Ran came to Chen's Pharmacy.
There were three people in Chen's drug store. An old shopkeeper was sitting in a rocking chair and reading a book. The waiter was taking orders. There was also a customer who came to buy medicine. The customer was a seventeen-year-old boy who was very thin. , wearing farm clothes with layers of patches, looks like his family is not in a good situation.
Zhang Ran came to the counter. The waiter took the medicine and said, "What does this customer want to buy?"
Zhang Ran said: "I heard that you got a three-hundred-year-old sugar cane. I want to buy it."
The waiter's smile turned cold and said, "Not for sale."
Zhang Ran said: "I can exchange it with treasures. I wonder if you have heard of the strange insect Ghost Centipede. I accidentally obtained two drops of the ghost centipede's blood essence. Can I exchange it with the ghost centipede's essence blood?"
The waiter said: "No..." The waiter only said one sentence, and the shopkeeper's voice came: "What did you say, ghost centipede?"
Zhang Ran looked at the old shopkeeper who was reading. The old shopkeeper stopped reading, put down the book, and looked at Zhang Ran with dazzling eyes.
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "It's the essence and blood of the ghost centipede." As Zhang Ran spoke, a porcelain bottle appeared in his hand and was placed on the counter.
Zhang Ran knew that he was using the right method. When he heard that Guan Zongzhi could not buy it with money, Zhang Ran never thought of using money to buy it. The strange insect ghost centipede is very rare. Although it is not alive, it is Two drops of essence and blood are enough to attract people. After all, strange insects like ghost centipedes can also be used as medicine. They are very effective and have some strange effects.
The old shopkeeper came over and said, "Can you let me take a look?"
Zhang Ran pushed the porcelain bottle over: "Please take a look."
The old shopkeeper picked up the porcelain bottle, opened it, and looked inside. After looking at it for a while, the old shopkeeper said: "Yes, it is the essence and blood of the ghost centipede."
Although he has never seen a ghost centipede, he has read many records about ghost centipedes, and he can judge based on these records whether it is the essence and blood of a ghost centipede.
Zhang Ran said: "I wonder if you are willing to exchange for three hundred years of sugar cane."
The old shopkeeper said: "It can be replaced, but these two drops of ghost centipede's blood are not enough."
Zhang Ran was not dissatisfied at all, but was very happy and said, "I can provide another five hundred taels of silver."
The old shopkeeper knew that Zhang Ran was already very sincere. Two drops of ghost centipede blood and five hundred taels of silver were already worth more than three hundred years of sugar cane, so he readily agreed.
After the waiter gave the boy some medicine, he went to the back hall to get some sugar cane under the instructions of the old shopkeeper.
He quickly took the one and a half meter long box and put it on the counter. The old shopkeeper opened it and found a long sugar cane inside, exuding a sweet smell that made people swallow their saliva and want to put it away. The sugar cane was eaten.
Zhang Ran took out a five hundred tael silver note and placed it next to the porcelain bottle. Zhang Ran took the sugar cane and left.
After Zhang Ran left, the old shopkeeper smiled like a chrysanthemum. This time he took advantage. It was not that Zhang Ran gave him too much, but that he had more than one sugar cane in his hand. He also had a 500-year-old sugar cane in his hand. Sugar cane, it’s nothing to sell if it’s 300 years old.
Zhang Ran booked a room in the inn, entered the room, released the three-headed snake, took out the sugar cane and fed it to the three-headed snake. The three-headed snake ate the sugar cane in two or three mouthfuls. After eating, the three-headed snake's His body curled up and he fell into a deep sleep.
During this period, the three-headed snake cannot be included in the World of Warcraft interface. The last time the three-headed snake ate snake gallbladder, it slept for more than a day. Now it has to sleep for about the same length of time after eating sugar cane, so Zhang Ran has to stay in Dongwang. Village.
