It is useless to go to the government office for the head of a person like the owner of Zuodaozhuang.

People like him are not on the usual wanted list.

If you want to rely on ordinary knife hunters or ordinary people to provide clues, it is basically a trap.

Therefore, to redeem this head, Jiang Ran could only go to the Sword Holding Department of Jinyang Mansion.

Although most of the sword-wielding yamen are in secret places, Jiang Ran, as a sword-catcher, is able to find a way out.

We walked around all the way, passing several grain and oil stores, and two more garment shops, and finally walked along the narrow alley and entered an open yard.

The courtyard seemed empty, but Jiang Ran just turned his eyes and knew that there were many people hidden around him.

The main door of the main hall is opened, and there is a Buddha statue inside.

Jiang Ran took three long and two short incense sticks, and put them in the corner of the altar table without lighting them or inserting them into the incense burner.

I heard a voice suddenly coming from outside the door:

"Who are you, and why did you break into my home?"

Jiang Ran shook his hand and threw the knife-catching order over.

The man took it with his hand, took a look at it, and then bowed:

"It turns out to be Daxia Jiang."

Of course there is no name on the arrest warrant, but there is a hidden message on it.

Jiang Ran received the order in Cangzhou Mansion. At that time, as the governor of Cangzhou Mansion, Guo Chong only had the right to nominate one person, and that person was Jiang Ran.

Therefore, the man in front of him just saw the secret message from the Cangzhou Prefecture to seize the sword, and understood Jiang Ran's identity.

"You're welcome."

Jiang Ran smiled and gently lifted the head in his hand:

"Is the person in charge here?"

"Master Jiang, please follow me."

When the man came to him, he first returned the knife-catching order with both hands.

Then he walked around the altar table and opened the door curtain of the inner hall.

After walking all the way, they came to the backyard, and then the man led Jiang Ran to a well:

"Please, Master Jiang, go down the well."

"..."

Jiang Ran smiled hoarsely:

"Your place is really secretive..."

"The Sword Holder is envied by many people, so he must be careful."

The man smiled bitterly, with a bit of helplessness in his words.

Jiang Ran didn't hesitate, and with a sway, he stepped on the bucket.

The man quickly reached out and grabbed the joystick and gently put Jiang Ran down. When the position was about the same, he asked from above:

"Has Hero Jiang ever seen a portal?"

In fact, without him having to say anything, Jiang Ran had already seen an iron gate inside the well.

With a push, the iron door creaked open.

Jiang Ran stepped out, entered the iron gate, and shouted to the top:

"Already in."

"Master Jiang, just go forward along the road. The steward is at the end, so I won't stay with you."

After the man above his head finished speaking, Jiang Ran watched the bucket creaking and rising up.

Jiang Ran raised his head and glanced twice, shook his head, closed the iron door smoothly, and walked inside while pondering what this man said.

The Sword Holder is envied by others...so he has to be careful?

Who is jealous of?

Since it is jealousy, it most likely comes from within the imperial court.

It's just that it's so secretive, I'm afraid it's not just to guard against people in the court.

Jiang Ran murmured a few words in his heart, and then he was thoughtful, but he didn't take it to heart.

How the court behaved actually had nothing to do with him.

From the perspective of the young master of the Demon Sect, he actually has a grudge against the imperial court.

However, not to mention that Jiang Ran still has only a partial understanding of what happened back then. Even if he understands the whole story, he is still in a dilemma whether to take revenge.

Although this body was indeed given by the Demon Lord and Saint of the previous generation...but it was Duan Dongliu who raised him.

How to deal with the kindness of parents you have never met depends on the situation.

With all these thoughts floating around in my mind, I walked along the passage.

At the beginning, the passage was still damp and cold.

After walking around, I felt a little drier.

A little further forward, there was already a vague feeling of warmth. He measured the distance and direction in his mind, looked up at the top of the dark passage above his head, and suddenly realized:

"It turns out that the sword-wielding department is under the government office."

After walking for a short distance, you will see another door.

Jiang Ran was about to reach out and push open the door when he heard someone say:

"Tian Tian Que is causing trouble in Liuyuan. Unfortunately, our people were arrested before they even got close to check. They didn't return until last night... claiming that someone rescued them."

The owner of this voice is quite old, but his attitude is very respectful.

But the person who spoke to him did not speak, so he continued:

"I heard that there are traces of the Demon Cult now, but I don't know... how should we deal with it?"

Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows, feeling that it was not suitable to continue listening to these words.

There is something wrong with this conversation!

Just as he was about to open the door, he heard a somewhat familiar voice speak:

"The Demon Cult may not be the enemy. Let's see what they want to do first..."

Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows.

He had heard this sound twice.

The first time was outside Cangzhou Prefecture, and the second time was in the village near Hongfeng Villa.

It was this man who took Shi Pingzhang away from under his own hands!

This is the man in the sedan!

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and opened the door directly. Before anyone could enter, he already said:

"Do you know where the people in the Demon Cult are?"

The two people who were talking raised their heads at the same time, and their eyes fell on Jiang Ran.

And Jiang Ran naturally looked at these two people.

The two people stood one behind the other. The one standing was an old man in his sixties, bowing slightly and showing a humble attitude.

Looking at Jiang Ran, he frowned slightly.

It seemed to be scolding him for not knowing the rules.

The person sitting there was beyond Jiang Ran's expectation.

This turned out to be a woman dressed in red.

He was probably less than thirty years old, with an elegant appearance, but his sitting posture was not dignified. He sat cross-legged on a chair and swayed his legs slightly.

He looked up at Jiang Ran, his eyes full of astonishment:

"It's you……"

"Stop it."

Jiang Ran waved his hand:

"I think you all know exactly when I went to the grain and oil store, how I got to the clothing store, and when I entered the dry well.

"Now you are pretending not to know that it is me who is here. Do you think I am a three-year-old child?"

He picked up the head of the owner of Zuodaozhuang, pulled out a chair, and looked at the woman:

"I just didn't expect that it was you, and I recognized your voice.
To be continued...
