Part 1: A Dream Within A Dream / Rebirth of Ill Fated Concubine

Chapter 083 Fight

Peace and happiness? It's just four words, but how many people can really do it? She has lived for revenge all her life, and peace and happiness are already an unattainable mirage.

"You want to be an official, brother," Jiang Ruan said, "Only in this way can you trample them all under your feet, let them respect you, fear you, dare not bully you, and then they won't bully me. Brother, don't worry about me, I have been through so many years, I can protect myself, and I can protect you."

Jiang Xinzhi looked at her: "Aruan, are you hiding something from me? Why do you have to live in Jiang's house?" Why did his sister change her temperament so much, and why was she involved in the affairs of the court? Jiang Xinzhi had just returned to Capital, and his mind was in a mess. He only knew that something must have happened.

Jiang Ruan said lightly: "Nothing." 

The murder of Zhao Mei could not be told to Jiang Xinzhi. Jiang Xinzhi was impulsive for a while, and it was inevitable that something would be ruined. Besides, in this life, there only needs to be one evil person with a rotten heart. Jiang Xinzhi should live cleanly. These dirty deals and conspiracies will ruin his heart.

"I won't force you." Jiang Xinzhi said. Even if Jiang Ruan doesn't say it, he can find out. He patted Jiang Ruan's head: "But since you are unwilling to move out of the Jiang Mansion, I will not move out either. If I stay in the mansion, no one dares to bully you."

Jiang Ruan nodded slightly.

Zi Su, Lian Qiao and Lu Zhu couldn't help crying when they saw the warm scene of the reunion of the brother and sister. Jiang Ruan finally made it after so many years.

While everyone here was happy, some places were about to turn the world upside down.

"What did you say? Jiang Xinzhi returned home?" Xia Cheng put his hands behind his back and looked at the visitor in disbelief: "Nonsense, he can't escape even if he has nine lives! This is foolproof, unless there is help from gods and ghosts!"

"Not only that," the visitor said cautiously: "All the people sent have been caught and are being interrogated in prison."

"Aren't they sent death squads? How come they are still alive? However," Xia Cheng snorted disdainfully: "Those death squads are all trained, they won't speak. Check where the people are locked up. Go find a few people tonight to deal with it. I don't need to say what to do."

"But... the person interrogating is Prince Xiao."

The Jinyiwei under Xiao Shao's control usually goes on special missions, and occasionally catches people who refuse to speak. These people have never persisted to the end under his interrogation. The more no one sees, the more fierce the rumour is. 

There has always been such a saying in the Jin Dynasty that there is no mouth that Xiao Shao can't pry open. But he was indifferent and ruthless in his interrogation. Even if they knew him, they didn't dare to ask him in person. They only guessed that the criminal law was extremely cruel.

Xia Cheng felt his heart sink when he heard this, and clenched his fists and said, "How could he fall into Xiao Shao's hands? How is Xiao Shao related to Jiang Xinzhi?"

"When we were ambushing, General Guan and Prince Xiao suddenly arrived. General Guan wanted to take those people back. Prince Xiao said that the matter was of great importance and let him interrogate them personally."

"It's bad." Xia Cheng's face turned pale: "If we involve the Xia Mansion, can we still have a good life in the future?" 

He paced back and forth in the room twice: "No, I have to go to the Eighth Prince. Prepare the horse quickly."
