Chapter 313
I Transmigrated As A Prison Guard And Suppressed The Princess
âAre they really that rich?â Xiao ran asked.
Daoist priest Xuan Yangâs eyes lit up. Since Xiao ran asked this question, he was most likely tempted. Theyâre very rich, and every visitor who comes to offer incense has to buy another incense stick. The lowest price for an incense stick is 100 taels, and the highest is 10000 taels. â
He muttered to himself.
âYou can go back first. Let me think about this,â Xiao ran said.
âIâll be waiting for your news. â Daoist priest Xuan Yang had made the right bet.
Just as he was about to leave, Shi Ming came looking for him and saw Xiao ran rushing over.
He was also carrying some gifts in his hands.
Daoist priest Xuan Yang smiled.âI wonât disturb you any further.â
With a flick of his horsetail whisk, he left elegantly.
âBenefactor!â Shi Ming called out enthusiastically.
âI just did it in passing, I canât afford to be called a benefactor.â Xiao ran shook his head.
âIf it wasnât for you, the matter between me and sun Hu wouldnât have been resolved so easily. Also, these one hundred taels have helped me a lot. Otherwise, Iâm afraid Iâll starve to death before the Ministry of Revenueâs subsidy is given out. â
âJust call me brother Xiao.â Xiao ran said.
He opened the door and walked in.
Shi Ming followed behind him and closed the door.
They arrived at the backyard.
Gold one placed the teapot in front of Xiao ran and patrolled the yard again.
He had a lot of responsibilities now. He had to be responsible for both houses.
He poured two cups of tea and handed one over.âThis is the Royal Tea of the palace, snow ginseng tea. Try it.â
âThank you, brother Xiao.â Shi Ming was grateful.
He took a sip of the tea. As the tea entered his stomach, the fragrance remained and it contained a strong spiritual power. Even though he rarely drank tea, he knew that this was the best.
âGood tea.â
âThe court examinations are in three days. How confident are you?â Xiao ran asked.
âSeventy percent.â Shi Ming seriously thought for a moment before answering.
âIf you are the top student in high school, what are your plans for the future?â
âFilling the stomach, solving the warm situation, and then working for the welfare of the people. If you canât even fill your own stomach, everything else is empty. Moreover, what was the point of studying hard for ten years? After suffering so many grievances, she just wants to make a name for herself and be a good person. â Shi Ming said honestly.
âYou shouldnât have come to me.â Xiao ran shook his head.
Shi Mingâs gaze was firm,âI understand what youâre referring to, but Iâm indebted to you. Even if some people are dissatisfied because of this and my future is ruined, Iâll still accept it. Even if it doesnât work out, with my current results, I can still get a small official position, and my first wish can be easily realized. â
âI offended a few people in the examination, and even that person in the palace was very unhappy. I captured the twelfth Prince and the ninth Prince myself and interrogated them. Arenât you afraid?â
His sharp gaze fell on him, as if he wanted to see through him.
As long as he lied, he would not be able to hide it from Xiao ranâs eyes.
Shi Ming laughed freely,âbrother Xiao, youâre looking down on me too much. If Iâm afraid, Iâd have already begged sun Hu for mercy. He wouldnât make things difficult for me.â
He took the teapot and poured a cup for Xiao ran.
After taking a sip of tea, Shi Ming continued,ââIâm sure youâve already guessed the purpose of my visit, brother Xiao. Firstly, itâs to thank you for your help, and secondly, itâs to join your sect. â
âThereâs no love without reason, and thereâs no hatred without reason. You are not an idiot to be able to get into jieyuan and Huiyuan. Otherwise, you would not be able to stand out from the other exam candidates. â
His gaze was stern.
âYou have to think carefully. I can help you, but when I need you, you canât back off even if you know that youâre going to die. â
Shi Ming stood up from the stone bench and cupped his fists in greeting.âIf Iâm afraid of death, Iâm not Shi Ming.â
âSit.â Xiao ran smiled and pointed at the stone bench opposite him.
âThe relationship between you and me canât be hidden from those who want to know, especially that person in the palace. He wonât let you enter the top three. You have to be prepared for this. â
âSuccess is in the hands of the heavens, and planning is in the hands of man.â Shi Ming said.
âIâll write you a letter. Take this letter and find Fu Xianhe, Master Fu. When you reach his place, youâll listen to his arrangements.â Xiao ran said.
âThank you, brother Xiao!â Shi Ming was excited.
Xiao ran took out a pen washi, wrote a letter, and handed it to him.
âGo find him now. With him, we might not get the top scorer, but we can still compete for the second place and Tanhua.â
âYes.â Shi Ming bade farewell and left.
He put down the teacup.
Xiao ranâs eyes flickered.âI wonder if this chess piece can be of any use.â
They left the manor.
They arrived at the Imperial prison.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhang Yu came up to him.âYouâre here, my Lord.â
âYes.â Xiao ran nodded.
Zhang Yu handed the document over.âThe higher-ups want to send a Tiger demon from purgatory on its way. What do you think, Sir?â
âI know.â Xiao ran took the document.
He had entered purgatory.
He stopped at the first cell, opened the cell door, and walked in.
Seeing him come over, the eldest Princess put down her pen and rubbed her aching wrist. She thought unhappily in her heart, in order to help you earn money, do you think itâs easy for me?
He pointed at the dozens of copybooks on the side.
âHelp me deal with it.â
âEh? Your calligraphy skills seem to have improved. â Xiao ranâs eyes lit up.
Compared to before, the eldest princessâs calligraphy skills had already reached the pinnacle.
âNonsense! My realm is already very high, and I practice writing every day without being distracted like you, so my writing skills will naturally improve. â The eldest Princess rolled her eyes.
He put the copybooks into his seven treasures Jade belt.
Holding her soft hand, the eldest princessâs delicate body trembled. Her cheeks blushed, and her face was as red as the sunset. A special gentleness was exuded. Just as she was about to pull her hand away, Xiao ran said,ââIâll help you rub it. â
