Chapter 53 Your retribution is me
"It's true."
As soon as Jiang Wei finished speaking, a flower suddenly appeared on the wrinkled old face of the Jiang family leader, and he even looked at the troublemaker Jiang Aning, who looked particularly pleasing to the eye.
Five hundred taels!
Even if we divide it from house to house, one family can still get a better income!
Not to mention, there are not that many young adults in the village.
If you plan carefully, you can assemble a team of about a hundred people.
If you can really take down Zhao Hai, you can collect the reward...
Chief Jiang’s face was full of excitement.
Such a huge windfall would fall on their village.
Just thinking about it makes me feel refreshed.
Jiang Anning didn't expect the clan leader to be so easy to bribe.
Just five hundred taels of silver...
But soon, she calmed down again.
Just now, she was really a little obsessed.
Five hundred taels of silver is not a small amount.
When she first heard Sister Song say it, wasn't she surprised?
It’s not surprising that the clan leader would be like this.
What ordinary person would not be moved by the sight of five hundred taels?
I'm afraid that everyone inside and outside Jiang'an County who knows this wanted notice will not want to meet Zhao Hai, right?
Jiang Anning suddenly became a little worried about Zhao Hai.
I don’t know if this person can return to the village smoothly...
Xu was in a good mood, and Patriarch Jiang spoke to Jiang Anning cordially like a loving elder.
"Girl An Ning, originally, we planned to drive Zhao Yuanshan and his family out of the village."
Patriarch Jiang put his hands in his sleeves, and his tone and attitude became more relaxed.
"When the time comes, the Zhao family's house will be paid off and given to you."
"But now you have also seen that Zhao Yuanshan and his wife got into a fuss and got themselves involved."
Patriarch Jiang sighed with a sigh: "It can be seen that this person should stir up the bad water less, otherwise, if he does too much injustice, he will die. God is not blind, and good and evil will be rewarded in the end."
< br>
"That's what the patriarch said."
Jiang Anning responded somewhat perfunctorily, scorning the saying that good and evil will be rewarded in the end.
She doesn't believe in retribution.
If there is retribution for the Zhao family, it must be her.
Patriarch Jiang was very pleased with Jiang Anning's flattering supporters and nodded with satisfaction: "It's good if you understand the truth."
He was very satisfied with the obedient Jiang Anning.
If before... Chief Jiang looked a little bad when he thought of Jiang Anning's rebellious and disrespectful look on his elders.
But when I think about it, if Jiang Anning hadn't insisted on suing the officials, Zhao Hai probably wouldn't have been jailed.
If Zhao Hai had not been imprisoned, he would naturally not have escaped from prison.
He did not escape from prison, so naturally there would be no reward of 500 taels of silver.
Thinking of this, Chief Jiang, who seemed to have regarded the five hundred taels of silver as his own, softened his resentment towards Jiang Anning for insisting on reporting to the official.
"It's just that, in this case, the Zhao family has no one who can take charge of the affairs. It is somewhat unfair for us to expel people from the village."
"If the person involved is not here, we will only punish him, which will seem to add insult to injury."
"In the future, if Zhao Yuanshan and his wife are released from prison and want to pursue the case again, I'm afraid we will have to explain it clearly."
Patriarch Jiang looked at Jiang Anning and felt a little more satisfied when he saw that he always looked honest.
"I was thinking, but you don't lack the money to live now, so why not put the matter aside for now and discuss it later?"
Chief Jiang looked at Jiang Anning's obedient and honest appearance, thinking that maybe he had been thinking about his own life in the past few days and had understood what was wrong before. Now he came here specifically to please him carefully and take the initiative to apologize.
Besides, he thought that the matter was handled very fairly, and Jiang Anning should give him this face.
Not to mention, he is an elder, so she should be grateful for worrying about the younger generation's affairs. Regardless of emotion or reason, Jiang Anning should not reject his decision.
[This old man is quite generous to others]
[Could the female native really agree? 】
【No way? So cowardly? 】
[When faced with such a shameless person, do you have any perfect way to break the situation? 】
Jiang Anning raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at the words in front of her in silence for a moment, feeling quite interesting.
"Girl An Ning?"
Seeing that there was no response for a long time, Patriarch Jiang could not maintain his confident smile.
He called someone in an unhappy voice, and his eyes fell on the person, implying a warning.
"How to deal with the Zhao family and the property they have appropriated depends entirely on the patriarch, the clan elders, and Brother Muramasa."
Jiang Anning said very humbly: "After all, this is not a trivial matter, and naturally it cannot be done according to my temper."
"Very good."
Seeing that the person was so sensible, Chief Jiang softened his attitude a lot: "If you think so, it's not in vain for me to teach you how to behave in the world."
Jiang Anning smiled slightly: "Yes."
【Hey! Isn't this Lao Deng too generous to himself? 】
【sky! Where can such a shameless person come from to say such and such shameless things】
[Isn’t this female native too naughty? They were all kicked in the face and bullied, and they didn’t know how to fight back...】
Jiang Anning's smile was as bright as a flower: "I don't think the elders in the village would bully me, an orphan who lost her parents when she was young."
Chief Jiang’s smile narrowed slightly.
"I only want justice."
Jiang Anning looked at Patriarch Jiang, whose smile had solidified: "Grandpa Patriarch, you won't disappoint me by confusing right and wrong, right?"
Patriarch Jiang's face looked a bit ugly.
There was obviously nothing wrong with what he said, but why did he feel so uncomfortable listening to it?
I always feel like I am criticizing Sang and Huai.
"Of course I will seek justice for you."
Patriarch Jiang held his airs and responded nonchalantly.
Later, he picked up the style of his elders and talked about many important principles.
Even Jiang Wei, who was watching the excitement, almost couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing this.
On the other hand, Jiang Anning, who was being lectured by name, seemed to have nothing to do, smiling as she listened to Patriarch Jiang's words.
Almost an hour passed, and Patriarch Jiang still had some unfinished thoughts.
Jiang Wei really couldn't listen anymore and interrupted with a stiff tone: "Chief, regarding organizing a patrol team to guard Zhao Hai, I'm afraid we have to summon the villagers and discuss the regulations in detail. .”
"Now Zhao Hai has been on the run for more than a day. If we don't hurry up, he may have sneaked back into the village by then and catch us by surprise."
He said with a cold face: "Besides, the reward of five hundred taels is not a small amount. Even the leader of the clan is moved by it. Who knows that others around you won't be the same?"
"Perhaps there have been people rushing for these five hundred taels since I saw the reward notice."
When Patriarch Jiang heard that the five hundred taels he was talking about might be taken away from him, he immediately became anxious.
"You have to hold on tighter, you have to hold on tighter."
He was spinning around like a headless fly.
"If Brother Muramasa and the clan leader don't mind, you might as well invite everyone to my place and have a casual meal together. We can also take the opportunity of the dinner table to discuss things carefully."
Jiang Anning took the initiative and said: "I just happened to call all the sisters-in-law, come over and help me, wash the dishes, cook and so on."
When Patriarch Jiang frowned and was about to scold him, she said, "Anyway, let's all get together in one place first so that no one is left alone and Zhao Hai doesn't take advantage of us."
Patriarch Jiang wanted to reprimand someone, but he swallowed it back silently.
