The Grand Princess Chapter 29: profiteer
"Why are you so panicked?" Xiao Ran asked.
Xiao Zhou lowered his voice, "I briefly interrogated them just now. The six of them were very tough and refused to speak."
"What do you want to say?"
"Brother Xiao, you are very resourceful, do you have any good ideas?"
"No." Xiao Ran entered the cell.
Dozens of students from Longyuan Academy were detained on the first to ninth floors according to their suspicions.
The more serious the suspicion, the deeper the layers.
There are six people imprisoned on the ninth floor, which shows that they are the most suspect.
Seeing Xiao Ran come in, the imprisoned student roared at him: "Let me out! I am innocent."
"True can't be faked, and fake can't be true." Xiao Ran said.
"I want to see the dean, but you are just giving in."
"The art of moving gods and controlling souls." Xiao Ran used this spiritual skill.
The golden light in his eyes flashed, and a layer of ripples rippled out. With his current cultivation as a spiritual master, the strength of his soul was beyond his ability to resist.
Under the golden light, the student was confused and controlled by Xiao Ran.
"Tell me what you were doing last night."
"After dark, I read the article for a while, and when I felt sleepy, I turned off the lights and went to sleep."
Xiao Ran put away his mind-shifting and soul-controlling skills, left the cell, locked the cell door, and entered the second cell.
Follow the same pattern.
I asked five people in a row, but it was not them.
When we arrived at the last cell, we saw a different jailer. The student's expression remained unchanged and he was quite calm, but he felt nervous.
Xiao Ran is different from Xiao Zhou.
They are both jailers, but their temperaments are different. Every look and movement can bring about a great sense of oppression.
"You are different from them, you are neither noisy nor noisy." Xiao Ran said.
"Since the dean ordered the Divine Sword Guard to intervene in this matter and imprison us in the sky prison, we will never be able to get rid of the suspicion until the matter is investigated clearly. Making noise at this time will only bring trouble to ourselves. "The student smiled bitterly.
"Good character." Xiao Ran said.
Use the spirit-shifting and soul-controlling technique to control him.
"What were you doing last night?"
Boom!
Haoran's righteous energy rushed out from his head, justice and holiness, evolving into a golden light, trying to protect his clarity and destroy Xiao Ran's spiritual skills.
"Hey! You actually realized Haoran's righteousness?" Xiao Ran let out a light sigh.
The above just said that these students are key seedlings, and no one understands Haoran's righteousness.
If one understands Haoran's righteousness, he will not go to Tianlao. Every student who understands Haoran's righteousness is a treasure of the academy. Even if they make mistakes, they will be dealt with internally without letting the Divine Sword Guards interfere.
This is inferred.
He deliberately concealed Haoran's righteousness, fearing that others would find out.
"Go back." Xiao Ran scolded.
The pure spiritual power rushed out, suppressing this faint righteousness into his body, and controlled his mind again.
"Say!"
"Some time ago, Chen Wenheng had some bad luck and bought three paintings from Qingyuan Bookstore. These three paintings are all works by masters. Each painting can make people understand the righteousness of Haoran. He has absorbed a lot of Understand the artistic conception in the painting, understand the righteousness of Haoran, and become a direct disciple in the academy.
Although the authorities tried their best to block the news, I still heard about it.
In order to get the remaining two paintings, we teamed up with Daozhang Wu and made a plan a few days ago to do it last night. After getting those two paintings, one for each of us. After he left, I was afraid of long nights and many dreams. With the help of the artistic conception in the paintings, I realized the great righteousness. "The student said.
"Painting?" Xiao Ran felt that this matter was very familiar.
"A monk, a big sword, and a sun. The owner of Qingyuan Bookstore was ignorant of Mount Tai, so he sold these treasures for a cheap price of 10,000 taels."
Xiao Ran's face darkened, he finally understood.
The three paintings he sold to Qingyuan Bookstore cost one thousand taels each, but this profiteer resold them for ten thousand taels each.
"Go find him after get off work."
Keep asking.
"Where is Taoist Master Wu?"
"After leaving the capital, go straight west for fifty miles. There is a hill. Taoist priest Wu lives in a house by the river."
Putting away the spirit-shifting and soul-controlling technique, Xiao Ran left the cell.
The student looked dazed and had no idea what had just happened.
Looking at Xiao Ran leaving, he frowned in confusion: "Why is he gone?"
Return to the lobby.
Xiao Zhou poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "Brother Xiao, you didn't use torture?"
"It's used." Xiao Ran took the tea cup and drank it in one gulp.
"Let's go."
"Where to go?"
Xiao Ran didn't answer. Xiao Zhou's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly: "Is there any result?"
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded.
Arrived at the lobby on the first floor.
"You came just in time, I was about to have someone call you here." said the captain.
"Is something wrong?" Xiao Ran was surprised.
"Although Ji Shenmen is unreliable in his work and is professional in cheating his teammates, he is still a decent person. The reward he deserves is not less, but a few points more." The school captain handed him two silver notes respectively. and Xiao Zhou.
The face value is 10,000 taels.
"Although the work in Tianlao is dangerous, the pay is very generous. You deserve this." said the captain.
Xiao Ran accepted the banknote.
The captain took out two more banknotes and handed them over.
The denomination this time is one thousand taels.
"This is the reward I applied to you from above."
"Thank you, Sir." They thanked each other.
The captain asked: "Aren't you interrogating a suspect? Is there any result yet?"
"Yes." Xiao Ran responded.
Omit the process and just talk about the results.
"As expected, I was right about the person. You have made another great contribution." The captain said excitedly.
"I will give you the credit first. When this matter is over, the reward will naturally come."
He walked quickly to Wen Fuxian.
"My lord, we have news." said the captain.
Tell the truth about what Xiao Ran said.
Phew!
Wen Fu stood up excitedly and walked quickly to Xiao Ran: "Is everything you said true?"
"Yeah." Xiao Ran responded.
"If what you said is true, you should be the first to be responsible for the theft of Longyuan Academy's treasure." Wen Fu said first.
Take Chen Wenheng and rush towards the ninth floor impatiently.
What Xiao Ranjue found so funny was that the three paintings he drew at random turned out to be treasures in the eyes of others.
"It contains white lotus cake. Send it to the eldest princess first." The school captain handed over a food box.
Take the food box.
Xiao Ran entered purgatory, opened the cell door, entered the cell, and placed the food box on the table.
There are two portions in total, each portion costs six yuan. It is as noble and holy as a lotus flower, and contains rich spiritual energy.
"This is the white lotus cake you want." Xiao Ran sat on the chair, took a piece and ate it.
It tastes good. A piece of white lotus cake can probably be worth three days of hard work for others.
"You're welcome." The eldest princess rolled her eyes at him.
Sitting opposite him, he took a piece of white lotus cake and ate it elegantly.
After eating the white lotus cake.
Xiao Ran reminded: "If your spiritual master cultivation can break through to the ground level, the pain may be less when the demonic energy breaks out."
