Chapter 169: Unstoppable
Facing Lin Ran's question, Jiang Wan really didn't think of how to prove that he was the person sent by Lin Sinian.
Seeing that Jiang Wan and Jiang Ling could not produce evidence, Lin Ran's mood changed. She frowned and called the guards outside.
"Come here, drag them two down and beat them to death with sticks." Lin Ran decided the next outcome for Jiang Wan and Jiang Ling in an understated manner.
As soon as Jiang Wan heard Lin Ran's words, she immediately thought of the dagger Lin Sinian had stabbed herself with in order to frame her.
Because Lin Sinian was in a coma at the time, and because she was detained at Ye Huaijin's house, Ye Huaijin assumed that the dagger belonged to her and gave it to her.
Initially she didn't want it, but then she felt that she didn't have any useful weapons, so she kept the dagger.
At this moment, Jiang Wan remembered the existence of that dagger, and she immediately took it out.
"Princess, please look, this dagger should belong to Your Highness!"
After Lin Ran heard this, he asked someone to bring the dagger to him to look at.
After taking a closer look, Lin Ran discovered that the dagger really belonged to Lin Sinian, so she didn't ask anyone to drag Jiang Wan and Jiang Ling out and beat them to death with sticks.
However, Lin Ran was still wary of Jiang Ling and Jiang Wan. After all, she was not someone who trusted others easily.
The reason why Lin Ran believed Jiang Wan so easily last time was because Jiang Wan had been his doctor and did not lie to him.
The second is that Jiang Wan once risked his life to save himself. People always have some kind of filter and kindness towards their saviors.
Lin Ran didn't believe that Jiang Wan would save her life for no reason, so she believed that Jiang Wan and Jiang Ling were sent by her second brother to secretly protect her.
Now Jiang Wan did not save Lin Ran in a critical moment like last time. Instead, she came to Lin Ran first and told Lin Ran that the two sisters were secretly sent by Lin Sinian to protect her.
In this way, Lin Ran naturally refused to believe what Jiang Wan said.
However, Jiang Wan now took out Lin Sinian's dagger, and Lin Ran reluctantly believed what Jiang Wan said.
Because Lin Ran didn't trust Jiang Wan this time like last time, Jiang Wan didn't dare to tell Lin Ran directly as she had planned at the time, asking her to ambush in advance and be careful of people from the Wei Kingdom coming to assassinate her at night.
Time passed by in such a hurry, and it soon came to the last time when the Weiguo launched a sneak attack at night.
With the experience from last time, Jiang Wan didn't sleep at all this time. When he saw someone coming for a sneak attack, he immediately notified Lin Ran's men and came to intercept and kill the assassins.
Because he knew that these assassins were sent by Weiguo, Jiang Wan ignored the interrogation and just waited for Lin Ran's people to interrogate the assassins.
Facts have proved that the assassins sent by Jin State pretending to be from Wei State once again confessed that they were assassins sent by Wei State.
After knowing the origins of the assassins, Lin Ran ordered people to kill them with a thousand knives. Lin Ran's original words were as follows.
"You who dare to come and assassinate me will have to pay the price you deserve. Someone will come and drag them down to me and slash them with thousands of knives."
Everyone who heard this said that Lin Ran's approach seemed a bit cruel.
However, she is the princess of the Zhao Kingdom and the future queen of the Chu Kingdom. Naturally, their servants do not dare to be aggressive.
After dealing with the assassins, Lin Ran led the large army through Qingquan Mountain last time.
Originally, Jiang Wan thought that he might encounter bandits from Qingquan Village who would block the road and rob him.
Unexpectedly, they all arrived at Linzhou City in the end, and none of the bandits from Qingquan Village came out.
"It shouldn't be! Didn't we get robbed here last time?" Jiang Ling frowned and said to himself, "Why didn't anything happen this time?"
Seeing Jiang Ling's confusion, Jiang Wan thought about it and explained to Jiang Ling.
「
Maybe it's because our team was relatively large this time, and the bandits let us go when they saw they couldn't catch us." Jiang Wan speculated.
"That's right. There were only about ten of us last time. When those bandits saw us, they would naturally dare to attack us.
But now that we have such a huge marriage team nearby, he naturally doesn't dare to come forward and rob us." Jiang Ling nodded in agreement.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wan actually felt a little pity. After all, she wanted to deal with Jiang Yu. After all, this hateful man shot Lin Ran with an arrow and smeared poison on the arrow for fear that Lin Ran would not die.
In the end, she was forced to walk all over again, losing Lin Ran's trust in her. Thinking of this, Jiang Wan became angry.
Not far away from the Linzhou government office, Jiang Yugang and his men gave generous gifts to the Linzhou magistrate and were planning to return to Qingquanzhai.
It turned out that they were not from Qingquan Village. Seeing that Jiang Wan's marriage team was too large, he decided not to rob them.
On the contrary, Qingquan Village often robs such large convoys.
The reason why they didn't take action against Jiang Wan and the others this time was entirely because the prefect of Linzhou City had warned them in advance.
The convoy this time was sent by the State of Zhao to the State of Chu for marriage, so they must not do anything about it, otherwise they would be in trouble and lose their lives.
Jiang Yu found out about this, and on the one hand, she specifically told her subordinates in the village not to rob Jiang Wan and the others.
On the other hand, Jiang Yu went to thank the prefect of Linzhou with a heavy gift.
I have to say that Jiang Yu is still very good at life.
Seeing that nothing happened along the way, Jiang Wan and Jiang Ling relaxed their protection of Lin Ran.
But they never expected that just by relaxing like this, Jiang Wan would go back to the time when he first met Lin Ran.
Jiang Wan really felt heartbroken...
How did this happen? We have to start when Jiang Wan and others arrived at Linzhou City.
That day, a steady drizzle fell on the carriage of Jiang Wan and others.
Looking out through the curtains on the carriage, there were few pedestrians on the street. Maybe it was because of the rain. Most of the passers-by were in a hurry. Only the people buying umbrellas along the road were still shouting hard.
Jiang Wan didn't notice anything was wrong, but he felt that there seemed to be slightly fewer pedestrians here, and everyone's face looked somewhat numb.
But because of the rain, she ultimately just blamed it on the fact that the people here were like this because of the weather.
After all, even Jiang Wan herself doesn't like rainy days very much. Whenever she encounters rainy weather, her mood will become bad.
When Jiang Wan and others entered Linzhou City, they originally planned to find a similar restaurant. After resting, they continued on their way to Shengye.
Who would have thought that after Jiang Wan and the others entered the city, they would actually see the prefect of Linzhou who came to meet Lin Ran in the rain.
The magistrate's words were really nice. When Jiang Wan saw that person, she intuitively told her that he was definitely not a good person.
And in fact this is indeed the case.
The Linzhou prefect was originally a lustful and lustful playboy. When he got older, his family spent money to get him the official position of prefect.
Since he took office, not only has he not thought about diligently improving political affairs and correcting evil, but he has bullied men and domineering women everywhere in Linzhou City and done all kinds of bad things.
Because Linzhou City was located in a remote location, he not only raised taxes privately, but also colluded with the bandits in Qingquan Village not far away. Whenever someone couldn't stand him, he would tell the bandits in Qingquan Village the person's home address.
Then he secretly asked the bandits to kill that family. This is how many of his political achievements over the years came about.
Because no one can do anything to the bandits in Qingquanzhai, the local people can't do anything to the Linzhou prefect.
The local people were really miserable about this. Therefore, Jiang Wan saw the appearance of the people like this after entering the city.
Jiang Wan originally wanted to remind Lin Ran to be careful about the Linzhou prefect who didn't look like a good person, but Lin Ran didn't care at all...
Lin Ran only felt that she had a noble status, but she was not very fond of a mere prefect, so she felt that there was something to be wary of about that prefect.
Moreover, Lin Ran also believed that she would be the queen of Chu in the future, so it was the right thing for the Linzhou magistrate to please her so much. She felt that the Linzhou magistrate would be a good person.
The prefect coaxed Lin Ran into such a happy mood that the originally planned stay of only one or two days was postponed to five or six days.
Jiang Wan had always focused on guarding against the prefect of Linzhou. Little did he know that in the darkness of Linzhou City, there were Ji Zhuoyan and others sent by Ye Huaijin who had been waiting in Linzhou for a long time.
Wait for them here.
Because Jiang Wan didn't know the existence of Ji Zhuoyan and others at all, an accidental move allowed Ji Zhuoyan to succeed and successfully assassinated Lin Ran.
Jiang Wan really regretted it. If she had known better, she would not have treated Ji Zhuoyan's eyes.
