Guo Chong was holding a writing brush on the side and looking at Jiang Ran.
Seeing his happy face, he was speechless for a moment:
"Master Liu is right, you are really greedy for money."
Jiang Ran glanced at him when he heard this:
"Where in the world is there anyone who doesn't care about money?"
"That's true. Except for fools and lunatics, who doesn't love money?
"Those who claim that they don't love money are mostly hypocrites."
Guo Chong nodded repeatedly:
"A gentleman loves money and acquires it in a proper way. As long as the money comes from an honest source, what does it matter?"
"Your Excellency is indeed a sensible person."
Jiang Ran smiled, took out the large stack of banknotes, stuffed them into the baggage, pulled out two gourds from the baggage, and threw them to Guo Chong with a wave of his hand.
Guo Chong casually grabbed the thing, took it in his hand, opened the lid and smelled it, his eyes suddenly lit up:
"Twenty years?"
"My lord is so happy, so of course I have to express it in some way."
"Hmph, I gave you more than ten thousand taels, and you're going to give me back two gourds of wine?"
Guo Chong snorted and then said:
"Come on, come on, I happen to have some food here, come and have a drink with me."
"No."
Jiang Ran waved his hand:
"The matter in Cangzhou Mansion is over. I will pack up at the inn next time. I plan to leave here now."
"Are you leaving now?"
Guo Chong was stunned, but nodded:
"That's right, in one's world, one can come and leave as one wishes.
"Looking at how chic you are, I am envious of you.
"What a pity... When you are in officialdom, you are always in control of yourself.
"wait."
As he spoke, he reached out and pulled it up on his desk, and soon got a booklet.
He waved his hand and threw it to Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran took it casually and saw that the three characters "天上阕" were written on the booklet.
"This is?"
Jiang Ran glanced at Guo Chong.
"Everything that Tiantianqiu has investigated so far is here."
Guo Chong looked at Jiang Ran with a smile on his face.
Jiang Ran was speechless:
"I am not a member of the officialdom. You have bluntly stated before that no one from Tianshangqiu has been wanted..."
"It is true that they have not been wanted, but they are already on the Sword Holding Department's list."
"Swordsman?"
Jiang Ran was slightly startled:
"What's this?"
"A newly built yamen was proposed by the then Left Prime Minister Lianzi Qianlian, and it has gradually come to the fore.
"This yamen is specifically for knife-catchers.
"And after you receive the sword-catching order, you are qualified to receive sea-catching documents from this sword-holding department that ordinary people cannot.
"For example...the Heavenly Palace!"
Guo Chong glanced at Jiang Ran and said with a smile:
"Tian Shang Qi is not an easy person to deal with, and apart from Tian Shang Qi, there are too many things in this world that cannot be discussed on the table.
"For example, if the Demonic Cult, which had existed for hundreds of years in the past, put them on a sea fishing notice, and there were really people desperate to find them, you can imagine what would happen.
"These things are not something ordinary people can do. They can only be done by masters like you."
Jiang Ran was thoughtful:
"The adults rely on them, right?"
"Don't ask about my affairs."
Guo Chong glanced at Jiang Ran, and then said: "But what you said is almost the same, I am relying on them.
"It's just that the water here is too deep, and it's not good for you to know too much.
"Okay, you can go."
"Farewell."
Jiang Ran clasped his fists, glanced at the screen behind Guo Chong, and then turned and left.
When Jiang Ran stepped out of the small courtyard, a person came out from behind the screen... Luo Qingyi!
Luo Qingyi looked at the direction Jiang Ran left and frowned slightly:
"Sir, Jiang Ran is very skilled in martial arts. If I hide behind the screen like this, he will find out.
"Even...he may already know who I am."
"Do you think he's an idiot?"
Guo Chong glanced at Luo Qingyi and shook his head:
"He is not only good at martial arts, but also smart enough.
"Even if he doesn't know you are hiding behind the screen today, he will definitely know that you are mine in the future.
"Instead of making an ugly scene at that time, it would be better to be a little more open and honest."
"My lord seems to trust him."
Luo Qingyi smiled slightly.
Guo Chong frowned slightly, thought about it carefully and said:
"Don't tell me, I actually fell in love with him at first sight for no reason.
"Okay, I won't tell you all this nonsense. The revenge of the past has been avenged. You can go ahead.
"You can tell him whatever he wants to know.
"If he doesn't want to know, you don't have to say anything."
"yes."
Luo Qingyi clasped his fists slightly, and after turning his figure into the screen, the next thing he heard was the sound of closing the window.
…
…
Walk out of the small courtyard and walk along the government road.
As soon as they reached the door, they saw Mr. Liu hurriedly running inside again.
What this person promised was that he was so tired that he was almost confused.
His eyes were open, but he was very confused. After staring at Jiang Ran for a long time, he suddenly slapped his forehead:
"Young Master Jiang!!!"
This voice is somewhat refreshing.
The officials around him couldn't help but look in his direction.
Jiang Ran twitched the corners of his mouth and cupped his fists slightly:
"Master Liu."
"When I saw you just now, I felt like I had forgotten something."
Master Liu said:
"See you later, I finally remembered.
"Jiang Shaoxia, I have already found out the person you asked me to help you find out."
Jiang Ran's eyes lit up:
"where is he?"
"have no idea."
Master Liu shook his head:
"More than half a month ago, this person stayed in Cangzhou Prefecture, and then went out through the south gate. He traveled all the way to Benma County and then to the northwest.
"My people followed the clues and went all the way to Benma County to inquire about the news before returning.
"That's why Mr. Jiang has been kept waiting for so long."
After hearing Master Liu's exact answer, Jiang Ranzai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The old drunkard was able to walk through the south gate by himself, which obviously means he really left Cangzhou Mansion.
After asking Master Liu about the route to Benma County, Jiang Ran thanked him with fists in his hands.
Master Liu waved his hands in confusion, and then continued to work...
Seeing this scene, Boss Jiang Ran couldn't bear it. He always felt that if he continued like this, he might never see Master Liu again.
After returning to the inn, there was nothing more to say.
Sitting on the bed in the inn.
Jiang Ran opened his reward list.
[Reward: three years of strength!]
[Reward: five years of internal strength!]
[Reward: three years of strength!]
[Reward: four years of internal strength!]
[Reward: Seven Skills of Heavenly Craftsmanship (Fifty-three Years)!]
[Reward: Barbarian Dragon Power (Thirty-One Years)!]
[Reward: Blood Cauldron Scripture (two years)!]
Jiang Ran looked over one by one. The others were fine, but the last one left him stunned for a moment.
