I Transmigrated As A Prison Guard And Suppressed The Princess
Translator: 549690339
It was the divine sword guards âturn.
Shen Yiming was very busy dealing with official business. There were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
His eyes lit up when he saw Xiao ran.
âCome and help.â
âYouâve pulled him in just like that?â Xiao ran teased.
She took a pen and helped him deal with it.
Half an hour later.
The two of them sat at the table and drank tea.
âCompared to the past, my life now is not happy at all. I have to take some time out every day to deal with work.â Shen Yiming sighed.
âDonât take advantage of me. There are so many people who want to sit in this position.â Xiao ran rolled his eyes at him.
âYou donât want to.â
Shen Yiming took the teapot and poured a cup for Xiao ran before filling his own.
âHas Shi Mingâs matter been settled?â
......
âYes.â Xiao ran nodded.
âThe eleventh is getting married.â
âMy days are not bad. Iâm quite envious of both my career and love.â Shen Yiming sighed.
The topic changed.
âHave you heard about what happened last night?â
âWhat do you mean?â Xiao ran asked.
âThe second Prince, the third Prince, and Nong family.â
âYes.â Xiao ran responded.
âWhen I went to see Qu Boâ an, I passed by the farmerâs house. They were just killed. The murderer left first, and there were no survivors in the house.â
âHave you seen Nong familyâs inherited martial arts, the Saint heart treasure book?â Shen Yiming asked.
âItâs with me,â Xiao ran took out the Saint heart Grimoire.
He then took out the life-force regeneration life-extending pill.
âYou might not believe me, so I picked it up in the yard.â
â???âShen Yiming had a series of question marks on his head.
âDid you pick it up?â
âAlthough I donât believe it either, itâs the truth.â Xiao ran said.
He read through the Saint heart Grimoire once more before putting it down.
âAlthough his attack is ordinary, he is terrifyingly strong in healing and expelling poison.â Shen Yimingâs expression was serious.
He smacked his head.
âI almost forgot about that.â
âWhatâs the matter?â Xiao ran was curious.
âNong Hua!â
âNong Hua?â
âYes.â Shen Yiming nodded heavily.
âFrom what Iâve heard, Nong Hua went back to her motherâs house yesterday and disappeared. Besides her, the second Princeâs Jiang Fei also went missing. Letâs not talk about Jiang Fei for now. Letâs talk about Nong Hua first. Do you think the murderer is after her?â
âOn the way to the fu residence, I met the third Princeâs butler PEI Tao, who was still searching the city.â Xiao ran said.
âIâll analyze them one by one. â Shen Yiming said.
âLetâs talk about Nong Hua first. Suppose she went back to her motherâs house to retrieve the Sacred Heart treasure book yesterday, and the murderer followed her, tied her up, and then exterminated the entire Nong family. According to what you said just now, the Sacred Heart treasure book was found among the flowers. This makes sense.â
Before Xiao ran could reply, he shook his head vigorously.
âBut itâs not right! Nong familyâs inherited martial arts have always been passed down to men and not women. Even if Nong Hua was the third Princeâs concubine, even if Nong Liang wasnât here, Nong family wouldnât have passed the Saint heart Grimoire to her. â
Xiao ran added,âthis elixir is a healing elixir of a very high grade. Itâs especially good at recovering oneâs Foundation. Do you think itâs a deal between Nong Hua and Nong Meng to exchange it for the Sacred Heart manual?â
The twoâs eyes lit up.
âNong Liangâs Foundation has been destroyed. He urgently needs this life-force regeneration life-extending pill.â Shen Yiming said.
A new problem arose.
âNong Hua is Nong Mengâs daughter, and Nong Liang is her younger brother. Why would she do this when her younger brotherâs Foundation was destroyed?â
âUnless sheâs not Nong Mengâs biological daughter.â Xiao ran said.
âImpossible!â Shen Yiming denied.
âBefore she entered the third Princeâs estate, the Imperial Clan Court sent people to investigate her background. If there had been any problems, she would have been captured long ago. Thereâs no way she could still be in peace.â
âOnly the people involved can know about this.â Xiao ran said.
âIf the murderer is after her, then combined with the second Princeâs case, thereâs only one possibility.â
âFirst Prince!â Shen Yiming blurted out.
âEven if he didnât do it, it must have been the doing of one of the other princes.â Xiao ran said.
The two of them were silent.
Everything required evidence. Without evidence, they couldnât arrest him based on their guesses.
Pulling one hair would affect the whole body.
Especially at this critical moment, Emperor Sheng Wen, that B * stard, used the excuse of being assassinated by the ninth Prince to Fish in the Dark.
âSince the murderer caught them, why did he let them go? Also, why did Nong Hua want the Sacred Heart Grimoire? Even if this cultivation technique is very important, itâs not worth braving the storm to go there, right?â
Xiao ran took a sip of tea. Seeing that there was no more tea left, he took the teapot and poured himself a cup.
âIt should be related to the Crown Prince. There should be people who canât sit still.â
âAncestor Xueli still hasnât spoken?â Shen Yiming asked.
âNo, I didn ât!â Xiao ran shook his head.
âThis old manâs mouth is very tight. Heâs been tortured miserably every day, but he doesnât say a word.â
âDidnât you try other methods?â
âItâll be fine if we succeed, but if we fail, itâll be a pity. â Xiao ran said.
Shen Yiming understood what he meant.
Bloodfuryâs cultivation was unparalleled, and he stood on the ceiling of combat power.
As long as he was still alive, whether it was his blood essence or other things, they would all be of great benefit.
There was a moment of silence.
Shen Yiming said,âheâs a dead man anyway. Why donât you try?â
âTry it?â
âYes.â Shen Yiming nodded.
âAlright! Letâs try. â Xiao ran agreed.
He stood up from his chair.
âIâll go with you,â
âNo need! Have people keep a close eye on the first Prince and the others. Aside from the three of them, have people secretly keep an eye on the other princes as well. At this point, we canât afford to be careless. â
