Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

Chapter 52: Obeying the Law in the Machiavellian Literature (12)

Xiao Jiangran slowly took back the dead chess piece. After fighting for so long, Chen and Zhou should have realized that they had fallen into a divisive plot.

From father-in-law and son-in-law, they became enemies.

But now, since some time ago, the situation has developed beyond their control.

What should they do?

This Xiao Jiangran is no longer relevant.

On the chessboard, a third force that did not belong to either of the two entered, and black and white intertwined like a sharp sword, which completely destroyed the two opposing parties in the original game.

Thank you, Censor, we have arrived at Changhe.

Xiao Jiangran finally recovered, and on the day he was allowed to get out of bed, he changed into his official robe.

He wore a blue robe painted with auspicious clouds and a crane spreading its wings. However, unlike ordinary official robes, the top of his robe was decorated with a blue sky and a white sun, indicating his special responsibilities.

A small seventh-rank imperial censor.

Actually, Censor Xie was his direct superior. However, Xiao Jiangran had offended someone and was transferred out of the capital on a business trip shortly after joining the company. To be honest, he had never met Censor Xie in person.

However, since he was found by the Zhou family, it means that at least Censor Xie and Chen Shengli are not close.

Considering the past marriage relationship between the Zhou and Chen families, and the fact that they had some connections with each other, it is easy to guess what Censor Xie's position is.

The worst is partial week.

"That's enough." Xiao Jiangran thought.

His Zhou family does not have the ability to fill these 100,000 cubic meters of rice now. As long as the warehouse is opened, it will be the most direct evidence.

No one knew where Shen Jin had gone. He said he wanted to be with him, but then he claimed he wanted to be a beggar.

It's strange that she wears her old, too-short robe all day long and doesn't change it even after buying a new one.

Xiao Jiangran relaxed his thoughts and began to simulate the speech in his mind again.

Until he heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from the roadside, he opened the window and saw the walking guards and a man in a crimson official robe riding a tall horse.

His hair was already gray, neatly tied back and held down by his official hat. He looked quite old, but his body was lean and strong, and he didn't look tired even on horseback.

His eyes are clear and bright, with a sharp light.

He was wearing an official robe and standing by the window. Xie Lan caught his gaze accurately, and their eyes met.

Xiao Jiangran was not in a hurry and performed a greeting in the room.

One was walking on a tall horse, and the other was standing on the second floor of the inn. There were crowds of people, but it seemed that there were only these two people in the world, as if they were the intersection of fate.

Xiao Jiangran maintained the posture of saluting until Xie Lan's back disappeared from his sight before he slowly stood up.

"It seems that the person who came is not bad." This is his intuition about people.

Meanwhile, Shen Jin felt much more at ease after learning that the person coming was Xie Lan. It seemed that this world consciousness had truly stopped being unreasonable and destroying Xiao Jiangran's connections.

Xie Lan, Xiao Jiangran's teacher in his political career, had the only shortcoming that he left the team too early.

After his death, Xiao Jiangran truly walked alone against the tide of the world.

Anyway, the plot is already so chaotic, so it doesn't matter if it gets more chaotic? Shen Jin thought to himself, but he was a little tempted.

With Xie Lan's arrival, everything became a foregone conclusion.

"Report, Inspector Xiao Jiangran requests an audience."

Xie Lan sat in the center, flanked by clerks and attendants. Zhou Cong and Chen Shengli stood below, facing each other.

In front of Xie Lan, the two began to share a common hatred for the enemy and covered up for each other when faced with evidence.

After all, all the evidence so far was provided by the two of them. Both of them were afraid that the case would get out of hand and implicate other things they had done, so they were trembling with fear in court.

"Call him in."

Xie Lan did think of the young man who had calmly saluted in the guest room that day. His appearance here was such a coincidence. Could this matter have something to do with him?

If this is true, then the young are truly to be feared.

So, I had some expectations for Xiao Jiangran's appearance.

Xiao Jiangran approached, looking like a harmless young man. He politely saluted Xie Lan and the others, then turned sideways and bowed to Zhou and Chen.

After all, they were just suspects and were not actually removed from office.

Zhou Cong and Chen Shengli's faces were slightly less gloomy than before. They thought this man must have something else to ask to see Censor Xie. It was a good opportunity for them to catch their breath and exchange words.

The young man knelt down with a clang.

"I accuse Zhou Cong of colluding with river bandits, robbing passing merchant ships, causing countless losses; and reselling government grain, passing inferior goods off as good ones, concealing the truth and failing to report it!"

He kowtowed.

While Zhou Cong was stunned, he turned to Chen Shengli and smiled slightly.

Chen Shengli secretly said, "Oh no!"

The man spoke again, "I accuse Chen Shengli of accepting bribes, making false judgments based on money, buying and selling official positions, and embezzling the bandits' wealth!"

When Xie Lan saw the two men's expressions as if they were eating a fly, he knew that what Xiao Jiangran said was true.

He was in a good mood: "Is there any evidence?"

"Of course, your Excellency, please take a look."

Xiao Jiangran presented the cloth bag. In addition to the Zhou family's evidence, he also took the opportunity to add evidence from the Chen family while recuperating.

After he finished everything, he stood in front of Zhou Cong again: "That night, Lord Zhou was so majestic."

"So, it's not enough to raise the government soldiers. The ones in the county government are also Mr. Zhou's private army."

……

Xiao Jiangran was going to assist Xie Lan in judging the case. Originally, he had agreed to stay in the government office at the request of Censor Xie, but for some reason, he took his leave.

It was already past midnight, and the bright moon was hanging overhead, casting its shadow beneath his feet.

He was holding a lamp. The inn was quiet and the waiter at the door was dozing off on the counter.

He tiptoed up the stairs and saw a small figure sitting on the doorstep, curled up in exhaustion.

There was a candle lamp next to her, the flame flickered quietly, and after a long time, a faint explosion was heard, waking Xiao Jiangran from his daze.

An inexplicable feeling of anger in my heart finally came to fruition, a feeling of escaping from the waves and stepping onto land.

When Shen Jin saw him coming back, she opened her eyes and muttered, "It's so late."

"Sorry." Xiao Jiangran picked up the huddled person and walked into the house together: "Why are you sitting outside?"

"Want to wait for you to come back..."

hungry.

Xiao Jiangran put her on the bed, not caring that she would dirty his bed. After tucking the quilt in for her, he went to the study with a lantern.

There is still a lot of work to be done.

When the candle burned out, he added more oil to the lamp. At 3:00 AM, he finally fell into a light sleep on the table.

……

Xiao Jiangran waited for Shen Jin to wake up and eat.

"I will be very busy these few days, so I will stay in the government office. You can sleep in the room and don't wait outside."

Shen Jin absorbed the transmitted energy, and his whole body seemed to be floating in the clouds.

Recently, she likes to divide these energies into candy bean sizes and chew one when she is free. The experience is very good.

"Okay." She nodded obediently and took a bite of the bun.

Xiao Jiangran wanted to say something but stopped himself, but didn't say much. He picked up his things and went out.

"Hey, that energy just now was peach flavored!"

Shen Jin's eyes lit up. It was a new sour and sweet taste!
