Chapter 314: Both Witness and Evidence Are Here
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Back then, she was seriously injured and unconscious. Although she did not have many personal guards with her, they were all brave and good at fighting. It was impossible for them to be defeated in a single exchange with the enemy. They were defeated by the other party’s cunning and ruthlessness.
Those people had no morals or principles when they attacked. They used hidden weapons, traps, and even used civilians as hostages. They had all kinds of methods. What they hated the most at that time was the crossbows used by that group of killers.
The crossbow was poisoned and supplemented with barbs and blood troughs. How many of their brothers had died because of this thing?
She gripped the damn arrow tip tightly. Then, she suddenly paused and brought it in front of her eyes.
Gu Chang’an knew that this thing had evoked the most painful memories in Xiao Ran’s heart. This was also the hatred in the hearts of the guards who came with her. Everyone fell silent at the same time with solemn expressions. However, in Little Aunt Ning’s eyes, she only felt that they had a guilty conscience. “They want to destroy the physical evidence! Brother, look at those people. Which one of them looks like a good person? Hurry up and arrest them!”
Although they did have to arrest them, why was this commoner who reported the case so annoying?
Little Aunt Ning had stayed in the prison for a long time a few days ago and really learned something from Third Brother Ning. Hence, when she saw that the officials did not take any substantial action, she immediately shouted, “There are witnesses and evidence. Why aren’t you arresting her? Could it be that the officials are colluding?!”
A scholar who had been away for three days should be treated differently. Little Aunt Ning’s ability to pester others had improved. Xiaoxiao was wondering if she should praise her when she saw a familiar elder stride forward from the group of people who heard the commotion and was stopped by the officials. “Dean Lu, be careful. They might be evil people!”
Dean Lu smiled and glared at Gu Chang’an. “Why? Do I have to bow to you first?”
Gu Chang’an hurriedly tidied up his appearance and bowed to him. “Chang’an greets Mister Lu.”
Dean Lu waved his hand. “Mister? It’s not too much to ask you to call me Uncle
Lu just because your father tricked me back then, right?”
Gu Chang’an changed his words. “Greetings, Uncle Lu. How have you been?”
Dean Lu pursed his lips. “In any case, I’m definitely tougher than your father.”
He looked around in confusion. “What’s going on?”
Before the official could answer, Little Aunt Ning hurriedly said, “These two are bandits. The constable is about to arrest them!”
The official was speechless. Dean Lu laughed out loud. “Bandits, the two of them?”
Little Aunt Ning was far away and didn’t hear Gu Chang’an and Dean Lu’s conversation, but the official didn’t miss it. “Dean knows them?”
Dean Lu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. “As expected, the longer you live, the more knowledge you have. I’ve heard of thieves calling thieves. This is the first time I’ve seen someone point at the heroine general of Great Xia and call her a bandit.”
Since her identity had been exposed, Xiao Ran bowed respectfully. “Xiao Ran greets Mister Lu.”
The heroine general?!!!
Was it General Xiao, the heroine who guarded the territory of Great Xia as a woman and defeated the Gobi Barbarians?
The commoners might only be afraid of other officials, but everyone knew and was disrespectful when it came to General Xiao, who guaranteed their stable lives. Looking at the guards beside her who originally looked terrifying, the commoners’ fear turned into admiration.
Seeing that things were completely different from what she had planned, the ignorant Little Aunt Ning straightened her neck and forced herself to look imposing. “Who is this dirty old man! Is he right just because he says so?” There were many people who knew this question. A young master in blue who looked a little familiar to Xiaoxiao put away the folding fan in his hand, and his expression darkened. “Who is he?”
He snorted. “He’s the Dean of our Bowen Academy, the youngest top scholar in the history books of the past dynasties. He was once conferred the title of Hanlin Academy’s Compiler by the Emperor. He’s also the person we students admire the most, Dean Lu!”
He raised his chin slightly and tried his best to suppress the disdain in his tone. “You can not know our Dean, but you can’t use your ignorance as an excuse to be disrespectful to him. At the very least, he’s an elder and didn’t say anything bad to you. It’s too rude for you to say ‘dirty old man’.”
This familiar fanboy’s performance made Xiaoxiao immediately remember who he was-the person who was with Lei Shaoming in front of the academy back then. However, he was much more gentlemanly this time than last time. He was clearly so angry that his hands were trembling and he was already paying attention to his limits. He was worth teaching.
Unfortunately, Little Aunt Ning, so it was really difficult for her to understand what he had just said. She only knew that this old man’s identity was a little powerful, and he had seen His Majesty… so…
She looked at Xiaoxiao in a daze. “Your mother is a general? Then you…”
Wouldn’t she become a noble?
Xiaoxiao could tell what she was thinking at a glance. “Little Aunt, do you know that slandering an Imperial Court official is punishable by flogging?”
Little Aunt Ning covered her mouth, knelt down, and started kowtowing. “Sir, please spare me. Please spare me! I-I didn’t do it on purpose. It’s my third brother. He instigated me!”
Ning Anhui snorted. “You’re really persistent.”
He deliberately made Little Aunt Ning create a ruckus on the day of the release of the rankings and specially kept the arrowhead from back then.contemporary romance
Ning Ansheng said coldly, “If he has such a scheming mind, how good would it be to use it in his studies?”
Dean Lu agreed deeply. The more he looked at his disciple, the more satisfied he became. After the exam, he specially met Ning Ansheng and asked him how to answer the questions. He knew that Ning Ansheng would definitely be among the top today.
Hence, he was not surprised when he saw the results. Compared to praising his little disciple, he was more concerned about…
Xiaoxiao saw that the old man had already arrived in front of her with agility that far exceeded his age. He looked at Xiaoxiao, then at Xiao Ran and Gu Chang’an. “Little Girl Ning is actually your daughter? Fate is really wonderful. No wonder her snacks are so delicious!”
Xiao Ran looked up at the sky helplessly. So it had nothing to do with her.
Since her identity was clear, she naturally had to greet him again. Xiaoxiao tidied her skirt and bowed to Dean Lu with the etiquette she had just learned. “Xiao Ning greets Dean Lu.”
“Xiao Ning?” Dean Lu stroked his beard and smiled gently. “This name is good.
You re all good children. I’ll call you Xiaoxiao from now on, okay?”
Hearing this, Xiao Ran became happy again. “Xiaoxiao” and “Xiaoxiao”. Hehe, how nice.
Xiaoxiao nodded. Dean Lu asked again, “I heard from Ansheng that his thoughts when answering the questions came from a book you gave him?”
Seeing the unconcealable urgency in the Dean’s eyes, Xiaoxiao smiled and said, The sun is so bright. Why don’t we come to my shop and talk while eating?”
She added, “My father and I have developed a new product these few days.” Dean Lu turned around and left with a smile. He thought to himself, This girl is smart..
