As the voice fell.
A white light flashed in Jiang Ning’s hand.
A token imdiately appeared in his hand.
"The Eighth Prince’s token?" Lin Qingyi’s gaze sharpened.
Then she looked at Jiang Ning: "You must not misuse this token. Once used, your relationship with the Eighth Prince will imdiately spread to the Royal Capital, and you will be in great danger!"
"An abyss that can swallow you whole!"
On hearing this.
Jiang Ning nodded and put away the token in his hand.
"Understood!"
"Good that you understand!" Lin Qingyi nodded slightly.
Then she turned her head towards the direction she had just co from.
Footsteps were coming from above.
Hearing the footsteps, Lin Qingyi frowned slightly.
When she had arrived earlier, she had already instructed the prison guards above not to co down and had shown her identity token.
Yet clearly soone was coming down now.
The next mont.
A look of slight surprise flashed in Lin Qingyi’s eyes.
Wang Qingtan appeared before her, dressed in a luxurious long dress of intertwined gold and red.
Beside her, a prison guard was holding a torch, igniting it.
In the flickering firelight, golden lights flickered across the long dress.
At this mont, Wang Qingtan descended the stairs and saw Lin Qingyi standing in front of Jiang Ning’s cell.
Who is she?
Her eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise.
Then Wang Qingtan waved her hand at the prison guard beside her.
"Go back!"
"Yes, Miss!" the prison guard replied respectfully.
Wang Qingtan!
Hearing the familiar and crisp voice of the girl, Jiang Ning instantly knew who had co.
A few breaths later.
In the dim light of the oil lamp, Wang Qingtan appeared in Jiang Ning’s sight.
"Sister, are you here to see Jiang Ning too?" Wang Qingtan addressed Lin Qingyi first.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyi looked at Jiang Ning, then at Wang Qingtan.
"May I ask what relationship this young lady has with my brother?"
Brother?
Wang Qingtan was sowhat surprised in her heart.
Then instantly understood.
"One with the surna Jiang, one with the surna Lin!"
"What brother? I think it’s a beloved brother!"
She couldn’t help but complain inwardly, but her face wore a sweet smile.
"I see!" Wang Qingtan extended her fair right hand: "Sister, you ca just in ti, Jiang Ning owes a lot of money."
"He has no money now, and being thrown in jail, I worry he will not repay the debt. Sister, why don’t you pay it on his behalf?"
On hearing this, Lin Qingyi looked at Wang Qingtan’s outstretched small hand and was slightly taken aback.
"How much does he owe you?"
"Not much, not much!" Wang Qingtan smiled sweetly: "Just a thousand taels of gold, ten in, twelve out! The interest is waived now, just pay back the principal, sister!"
Lin Qingyi: "...."
She imdiately showed an expression of helplessness.
Then she glanced at Jiang Ning.
As if to say, a thousand taels of gold, you really can borrow!
"No money!" Lin Qingyi casually spat out these two words.
Upon hearing this, Wang Qingtan’s face imdiately showed an ’I knew it’ expression.
"Aren’t you going to introduce us?" Lin Qingyi looked at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning said: "This is Wang Qingtan, the eldest daughter of the Prefectural Governor of Dongling County!"
No wonder he said he didn’t need my help, turns out he’s caught the Prefectural Governor’s apple of the eye, Lin Qingyi couldn’t help but silently complain in her heart.
At this mont, Jiang Ning again raised his hand towards Lin Qingyi, introducing her to Wang Qingtan.
"This is Lin Qingyi, Vice Building Owner of Wanhua Building in Luoshui County, who has helped a lot!"
"I see!" Wang Qingtan smiled: "Sister Lin has co from miles away to Dongling City to visit Jiang Ning, it seems the bond between siblings is very deep!"
"I just find him pleasing to the eye!" Lin Qingyi said blandly.
"So he looks nice! That’s quite the May-December romance!" Wang Qingtan said offhandedly.
In an instant.
The air seed to chill.
Lin Qingyi’s chest heaved unsteadily.
Wang Qingtan’s gaze was unconsciously drawn, then she looked down, twitching the corners of her mouth.
At this mont, Jiang Ning noticed the atmosphere was off.
Quickly he spoke: "Miss Wang, is there sothing you ca for today?"
"Of course, business as usual!" Wang Qingtan continued: "I ca to tell you that the young Marquis of the Prefecture has arrived, and this matter is to be decided by him as a noble of Guangning Prefecture!"
"But you don’t have to worry, my father has invited him to the banquet, along with Master Zhao, Master Bai, and others!"
On hearing Wang Qingtan’s words, Jiang Ning imdiately cupped his hands: "Thank you, Miss Wang, for this matter!"
"No need to thank !" Wang Qingtan waved her hand: "I am now your biggest creditor, and in this world, the person who most dislikes seeing you die is the creditor!"
On hearing this, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but laugh, then he said.
"This matter also troubles the Prefectural Governor. I shall visit personally to express my thanks upon release!"
"Alright! I will let my father know!" Wang Qingtan nodded slightly.
Just at this mont.
Lin Qingyi spoke: "The young marquis of the prefecture, is it the Lu Mansion? Marquis Guangning?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qingtan’s clear and flawless eyes looked towards Lin Qingyi.
"Sister speaks with such familiarity, could it be that you know him?"
"If it’s Marquis Guangning, then yes, I do know him! Later, could Miss tell the full story of this matter? I can also say a few things to Marquis Guangning!" Lin Qingyi said.
Wang Qingtan was imdiately surprised as she looked at Lin Qingyi.
To be able to say a few things!
If these words were not boasting, it would actually an a significant influence, capable of affecting the decisions of Marquis Guangning.
Thinking to this point, Wang Qingtan suppressed the surprise in her heart, then slowly nodded.
"Alright, I will tell you the full story later!"
"Thank you, Miss!" Lin Qingyi smiled slightly.
"Let’s go out first! I’ll tell you outside!" Wang Qingtan wrinkled her nose, seemingly a bit uncomfortable.
"Fine!" Lin Qingyi nodded.
The two of them did not wait for Jiang Ning’s opinion and had already co to an agreent.
Afterwards, they greeted Jiang Ning and went out together.
...
Outside the county prison.
"Hoo—"
Having just walked not far from the county prison, Wang Qingtan took a deep breath.
Lin Qingyi watched her appearance, and couldn’t help but smile.
After a mont.
She understood the full story from Wang Qingtan’s words.
Marquis Lu.
Lu Junyi.
Might as well try, shouldn’t be a problem!
Lin Qingyi thought to herself.
...
On the other side.
The dim third floor of the county prison.
Only a few oil lamps were kept burning.
Zi la—
The oil lamp on the corridor made a strange sound, instantly waking Jiang Ning from his thoughts.
"If everything goes smoothly, I should be about to get out of prison!"
He muttered.
That’s good!
I am fed up with staying here!
Moreover, it wasn’t a wasted trip; I gained unexpected rewards, now just waiting for the completion of my marrow refining.
[Realm]: Fourth Grade Marrow Refining (669/1999)
Glancing at the panel, he imdiately closed it.
The progress of marrow refining had reached one-third.
Getting closer to perfection.
Then he adjusted his mindset and continued his practice and cultivation.
...
That day, three als went as usual, with no news coming in.
But Jiang Ning was not anxious.
With these people’s efforts, actually, Xiao Qiuyue’s death had nothing to do with him.
He didn’t believe that this case would beco an unjust case, so he was not worried at all.
Everything proceeded as usual.
Until the morning.
Zhao Yulong appeared in front of him again.
"Commander Jiang, I have co as promised to get you out!" Zhao Yulong in his grey cloth clothes showed a warm expression.
Three people followed behind him.
Two of them were from the Inspection Office.
Bai Luoyu and Su Zhi.
The other was Zhao Dai, who daily delivered the three als.
"Jiang Ning bows and thanks Master Zhao!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands in a salute, genuinely grateful.
Zhao Yulong smiled faintly: "This is my responsibility! People of the Inspection Office are our own! As the Residence Master, I may not seek benefits for our personnel, but at least ensure you are not subjected to injustice and wrongful accusations!"
At this mont, Zhao Dai also unlocked the iron cell, removing the iron lock and chain entangled on the cell.
"Jiang Gonglao, sorry for your trouble these days!" Zhao Dai said.
Jiang Ning smiled: "I have been well-fed and nicely treated, what trouble is that? I almost don’t want to leave!"
"Commander Jiang is joking!" Zhao Dai said with a smile.
The case of the Lady’s death was settled so easily; he knew very well that Jiang Ning was soone he couldn’t afford to offend.
With Zhao Yulong’s emphasis, plus extraordinary strength.
The third floor of the county prison’s iron cell couldn’t restrain such strength.
He could imagine Jiang Ning soon soaring high.
Not ntioning other paths, rely owing to this strength he could easily excel in martial examinations, even compete for the title of Martial Arts Champion is unknown.
Historically.
The Great Xia Martial Arts Champion, the worst standing was a Fourth Grade official.
That is sothing he could never reach in his lifeti.
Not to ntion, Jiang Ning seems so young to him.
No one knows how far he can go in the future.
Perhaps one day he will reach a position of great power, leading thousands of armies.
Or possibly be granted a marquis title and noble rank one day!
