Ji Ling'er was very satisfied with Yun Ming's answer and felt that Mr. Yun was very smart. She waved her hand, and the two guards behind her were ordered to remove the latch of the screen door and let Yun Ming and the others into the courtyard.
There was no words along the way. Yun Ming paid no attention to the group of royal guards in the courtyard, under the walls and on the roof. He silently followed Ji Ling'er to a certain door. Behind him was Zhuo Jing.
Ji Baihu raised her right hand, and Yun Ming judged from the height, angle, and fist-clenching posture of her arm: Ji Ling'er didn't want to push the door, but to knock.
Sure enough, a second later, Ji Linger politely knocked on the door. After three muffled sounds of "Tuk-tuk-tuk", Ruan Dandan's voice immediately came from inside the house: "You just come in, the door is not bolted."
After reading this, some readers may be wondering: Why is Ji Ling'er so polite? Ruan Dandan has become a prisoner, and the group of them just opened the door and entered domineeringly, which is in line with Jin Yiwei's consistent personality and style.
Ladies and gentlemen, at this point, I am going to explain the relationship between the government and the Jianghu in this world.
The relationship between the two is neither hostile nor friendly. Generally speaking, both sides maintain an attitude of indifference towards the other. But there is also cooperation between the two sides on some things. For example, if the government wants to wipe out a certain group of bandits on Green Forest Road, if it is worried about the lack of strength, it can recruit righteous warriors to go with it; conversely, most of them are prosperous. The Jianghu sect or martial arts family must have had many contacts with local officials. This symbiotic model, which is not very cohesive, has indeed made a significant contribution to the stability of the court and the people in the past 180 years.
This delicate balance is hard-won and is the product of a long-term tacit understanding between the temple and the world. Therefore, in this book world, the eight-character policy of the Ming Dynasty's public servants in contacting the Jianghu people is: to be reasonable and restrained, to be kind and powerful at the same time. For Ruan Dandan, a well-known righteous person in the world, Zhong Yi's polite treatment was very honorable, and Ji Ling'er was just following his orders.
Of course, this result is also within the expectations of Chu Zongyang and Ruan Dandan. Regarding the assassination incident last night, Jin Yiwei could not provide any evidence to prove that Ruan Dandan was related to the mysterious assassin. The strange timing of the treasure presentation was not enough to convict her, and a "coincidence" could be used to excuse it; not to mention that the latter was a well-known person in the martial arts world. As a character, Jin Yiwei's best method of extracting confessions through torture must be used with caution. In short, it is really difficult to deal with this great god, so it is better to offer it to Pu Mansion first.
Chu Zongyang had made it clear to Ruan Dandan about Jin Yiwei's mentality of riding a tiger but it was difficult to get off the ground as early as the planning stage of the operation. Otherwise, Mrs. Su Shou, a veteran in the world, would not have agreed to get involved in this matter.
The topic returns to the present. Originally, Yun Ming wanted to bring Pu Cha Shi for interrogation. Pu Gongzi's superpower "Proverbs" can be called the nemesis of all die-hard criminals. He himself is a walking humanoid veritaserum. However, this guy is still dreaming of meeting Duke Zhou after three days of work. Yun Ming can only do it by himself, but... his negotiation skills are actually not bad at all.
…………
Now that the owner of the house had made it clear, Ji Ling'er stopped being polite and pushed open the door and stepped in. Yun Ming and Zhuo Jing followed closely behind and filed in.
Ruan Dandan is still wearing the same clothes as yesterday and is sitting at the table. Although there was a hint of "Hou Jun Duo Shi" in her posture, the actual situation was that Ruan Dandan only stood up and sat down on the chair after hearing the movement at the second door. exist

Before this, she had been sitting cross-legged on the bed, meditating, exercising and regulating her breath, warming her internal injuries, and never relaxed for a moment.
"Miss Ruan, after a night's rest, how is your injury? If you are not seriously ill, can you answer a few questions for us? I hope Mrs. Sushou will not shirk the affairs of the public." Ji Ling'er got straight to the point and didn't delay.
One code equals the other, and the attitude before and after entering the room must be different. At this time, Ji Ling'er's speech will be thorny. The double act of red face and black face is a very effective interrogation technique. As interrogators, Yun Ming and Zhuo Jing defaulted to playing red face; Ji Ling'er, who did not participate in the conversation, consciously put on a black face. Although the three of them had not discussed their respective roles in advance, Ji Ling'er had already cooperated with Yun Ming's follow-up questions and calmly entered the play. This...is called professionalism.
"This is such a powerful move." Yun Ming thought to himself, "It seems like I wasted my time."
On the way to the east wing, Yun Ming and Zhuo Jing assigned a red face and a black face, so that they could appear in full glory when meeting the target Ruan Dandan. But now that Ji Linger takes the initiative to dance with her, Zhuo Jing can temporarily retreat to the background. Yun Ming glanced at Zhuo Jing calmly. The latter understood and silently walked a little further away to make a human background.
Ruan Dandan's reaction was not what the three of them expected, because her eyes quickly swept over Ji Ling'er and Zhuo Jing, and then settled on Yun Ming's face: "It's really you, I even thought I heard wrong... …”
"Uh... I've met Ruan Nvxia." Apparently, Yun Ming had guessed the reason for Ruan Dandan's complicated expression at this moment, so he was more respectful: "A few days ago, at Chengnan Commercial Street, Yun Ming thanked the girl for speaking up."
"Needless to say, since we can meet here and now, come to think of it... you are not an ordinary storyteller." Ruan Dandan's mind began to change after seeing Yun Ming: "Could it be that the conflict that day was just about you? A scene for me to co-act with a frivolous young man?"
It was really difficult for Yun Ming to explain this matter, so he had no choice but to pretend to be incomprehensible: "Oh, I have no comment."
"Really." Ruan Dandan didn't say anything anymore. Yun Ming's answer made her misunderstand a lot of things, and she thought to herself: "No wonder Peng Ou, a killer in the world, wants to deal with a storyteller for no reason. Although I can't feel this person. There is true energy running in his body, but he cannot be an ordinary person."
Chu Zongyang's vague attitude, the conversation he heard at the second door just now, and combined with his two observations of Yun Ming, Ruan Dandan's "reasoning" went further and further off track: "Hiss... this "Mr. Yun" is afraid It is deeply hidden. If his martial arts have not reached a state where he can return to his original nature and retract and release freely, which is difficult for me to pry into, it is because he has learned some strange skills since he was a child to cover up the internal strength of his muscles and veins. Looking at his face, this Mr. Yun He’s not very old, so the reason why I can’t see this person’s depth is probably the latter.”
"He claims to be a close friend of Yue Kuohai, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and this female Baihu treats him kindly and gently. This relationship should not be groundless."
"This person is really well-established. Jin Yiwei and the Pu Mansion have to give him some respect. With today's posture, it goes without saying that the master of suffering is here to seek revenge. If this Mr. Yun uses his identity or the power behind him to suppress him, Me, what should I do..."
"Let's act according to the situation first. If possible, just put all the blame on Peng Ou. I really don't know much about it myself, so it doesn't matter if I tell the truth."
Due to various misjudgments about Yun Ming, Ruan Dandan could not
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Dare to put on airs and let go of the righteousness of the world, her attitude was very sincere: "I have heard the conversation between Mr. Caiyun and Miss Ji just now. Since Mr. came to visit the humble house because of the killer last night, I must know everything and tell him. Everything is endless.”
"Oh? That's very good." Yun Ming smiled widely after receiving this reply. He originally thought that he would have to put some effort into opening the mouth of a martial arts master, but now it seems that the difficulty mode has been reduced to the novice tutorial. "Nvxia Ruan, then I'll tell you straight..."
The interrogation process went very smoothly. Ruan Dandan told everything that had happened to him in the past few days, including the siege by the Xijian Sect and the Sixiang Sect. Yun Ming took a pen and paper while listening and taking notes, interrupting the review several times at key points. Two quarters of an hour later, when Yun Ming stopped writing, the stack of rice paper he brought was already filled with writing.
"Nvxia Ruan, let me repeat a few key points. Please listen to see if I read them correctly." Yun Ming raised the paper and cleared his throat:
"First, on the night of the second day of May, at about 2:00 pm, you were besieged by a group of unidentified warriors in Fucai Fang (today's area southwest of Xianglai Street from Xuanwumen in Beijing to Ganshi Bridge in Xidan). You were outnumbered, seriously injured and nearly died. .In the end, he was rescued by Peng Ou, a charlatan killer who was supposed to participate in the siege."
"Second, at noon on the first day of May, you woke up from a coma and had direct contact with Peng Ou. The latter informed that the person who ambushed you came from the Xijian Sect and the Four Elephants Sect. Of course, his words may not be true."
"Third, you relied on observing his skills and martial arts posture to identify Peng Ou first. Because he has been wearing a mask since you woke up and did not show his true face, so you don't know what Peng Ou looks like."
"Fourth, Peng Ou requires you to obey the instructions, seek help and refuge from the Pu family, and offer treasures late at night."
"Fifth, you had no prior knowledge of Peng Ou's plan to assassinate me. After the incident, you recalled Peng Ou's weird arrangement and felt that you might have unintentionally become an accomplice."
"The above five points, yes or no?" Yun Ming raised his head, looked into Ruan Dandan's eyes and asked.
"Exactly." Ruan Dandan replied calmly.
Ninety percent of the above content is true, except for the fifth point where she completely left herself out. But as the saying goes, it is difficult to verify such half-true and half-false confessions. Ruan Dandan is not afraid that his lies will be found out.
"Well... then, I really want to thank Ruan Nuxia for your cooperation. Thank you very much." With a slight smile on his face, Yun Ming carefully folded the file and stuffed it into his arms.
Ruan Dandan breathed a sigh of relief. Yun Ming's reaction made her feel relieved: "It's just a matter of duty. Sir, you have hurt this little girl."
Yun Ming put away all the pen and ink, but he had no intention of getting up and leaving: "Nvxia Ruan, it's still early, I still have some questions I want to ask for a while, don't interrupt me?"
"...Of course, sir, please speak."
On the side, Ji Ling'er, who had a slightly lower sense of presence due to Ruan Dandan's excessive cooperation, frowned slightly: "Well... what else does Yun Ming want to ask? It should be something unrelated to the assassination incident..."
Like Ji Ling'er, Zhuo Jing couldn't guess what medicine Yunming was selling in his gourd. The three women were looking at Yun Ming with confused eyes.
Who would have thought that Yun Ming’s first question would be completely off topic:
"Nvxia Ruan, where is your hometown?"
