Chapter 96 The target is A Niang
When Jiao Niang looked at the empty cellar, her first reaction was that Zhao Hai had killed Wang Shang and ran away.
The thought just came up, and I felt ridiculous again.
What kind of useless snack Zhao Hai is, if others don't know, how can she know?
I originally thought of him as a farmer, but looking lean, he actually had some strength, so I thought he could be stronger in that area.
During the long night, she always had to have some fun to be happy in this place where nothing happened.
Who would have thought that after using it, he would realize that the man who seemed to be barely powerful was actually a useless coward.
But she showed up again, came into contact with people, and had no choice but to escape.
I can only force myself, and my colleagues continue to be vain and submissive.
Therefore, Jiao Niang can be sure that Zhao Hai definitely does not have the ability to sneak attack and kill Wang Shang alone.
Unless there are other martial arts practitioners to help.
But there were no signs of fighting in the cellar.
The joy on Jiao Niang's face disappeared for a moment, replaced by irritability and impatience.
"Damn Wang Shang, where did he go?"
She kicked the ground angrily: "Who are you guarding against!"
After scolding Wang Shang a few times, Jiao Niang calmed down and returned to the ground.
"Forget it, it's not my responsibility that I can't contact Shangfeng."
"Even if something goes wrong, it's none of my business."
Jiao Niang muttered a few words, but her mood was not as calm as she imagined.
If it weren't for Wang Shang's "high hand", these abandoned children would have been dealt with long ago.
What if something really goes wrong...
Jiao Niang didn't dare to think deeply about what would happen to her as an outcast.
She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, trying to look as calm as possible.
-
The disappearance of Wang Shang and Zhao Hai did not affect Jiang Anning at all.
She didn't know that the person had disappeared from the world.
It was only strange that the "Master Shang" who came to Chaohuang embroidery workshop had changed.
Although the appearance is still the same as when I saw it that day, and the voice is still the same as the one I heard that day, but...
Not Wang Shang.
It should be the real Master Shang himself.
Jiang Anning was just curious as to how Wang Shang managed to imitate the sound in such a way that it was so imaginary that it was difficult to spot the difference.
If she hadn't had the [Barrage] reminder, she might not have been able to recognize the person for a while.
The real Master Shang is a relatively honest person.
Because he couldn't find anyone he liked at Wuda Niang's tooth shop, Song Yao made an appointment with Wuda Niang to send a group of newlyweds to his door in two days for them to choose from.
Jiang Anning had no experience or opinions on these matters, so she simply left them all to Song Yao.
She stayed in the house these two days, concentrating on her embroidery work.
Previously, she easily divided the embroidery thread she got from Old Liu Tou.
What I was talking about with Song Yao was not to draw a big picture.
It was an idea that came to me after looking at the embroidery thread of Old Liu Tou's family.
She wanted to embroider a piece of "Strange Pictures from a Chinese Studio"... However, she knew that such an unlucky design would have little sales. At most, it would be displayed in the embroidery workshop to show off her skills.
However, if it can be done, maybe what she wanted to embroider before can also be successful.
Most of the drafts and colors of the Buddha worship pictures were left behind after her mother finished them.
She just added details.
This also allowed her to master only the skills but not the ability to create large-scale embroidery independently.
She wanted to try to make up for this shortcoming.
Jiang Anning was immersed in her embroidery work, and she didn't pay much attention to who had been added to the embroidery workshop recently.
I only remember that the fifth lady came to see people off twice. I heard that she was not very satisfied with them.
She thought it was a little maid who hadn't slept with her yet, so she didn't care much about it, so she didn't take it seriously.
So on the day of the arena competition, she regained her energy. When she woke up early, she was startled when she saw Duan Qingshan in the yard.
"My mother!"
Jiang Anning's eyes widened, looking at Duan Qingshan with a scar on his face, and thought he was dazzled.
She rubbed her eyes over and over again, and finally determined that the man standing in front of her was really Duan Qingshan.
"Why are you here?"
Damn it, she just suddenly thought a few days ago that there was a future killer with extreme ideas living in the inn, so while she was exercising her hands and feet, she wandered to the inn and paid for half a month's room and board. .
Why did you lead people here?
"When did you come? No one saw you, right? You..."
Jiang Anning's long string of voices came to an abrupt end after the person's expressionless reply.
"Come here and work."
Duan Qingshan held a bamboo broom half a man's height in his hand and swept the courtyard meticulously.
"Be a nurse."
ah?
Jiang Anning froze on the spot and didn't react for a while.
Until Song Yao came out dressed neatly and saw the two of them looking at each other, he said, "Are you scared?"
"Blame me, blame me, I forgot to tell you."
She thought Jiang Anning had suddenly seen a stranger, a man in the backyard, and was frightened. She quickly explained: "This is the nursing home I found from the Fifth Aunt a few days ago."
"Ah?" Jiang Anning was even more confused.
Duan Qingshan sold himself into slavery?
Song Yao: "Don't worry, he's innocent. I've also asked about him. He's honest and doesn't have any extravagant thoughts."
"After Wu Da Niang's guarantee, I signed a three-month contract temporarily. If I perform well in the future, I will consider signing a contract once a year. I will be a long-term worker in our embroidery workshop."
Jiang Anning breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
It turns out it’s not about selling yourself.
It scared her to death.
Song Yao was still talking about Duan Qingshan's tragic life experience: "...he is also a hard-working man. It just so happens that our embroidery workshop is also short of someone to move goods, look after homes and take care of homes."
She patted her heart, with lingering fear: "You don't know, Mrs. An brought such old people here last time, but she shocked me a lot!"
"I was thinking that most of our embroidery workshops are women. If we encounter someone who makes trouble, we really can't handle it."
"Before, the waiters in the store were only one man from the Haruyuki family, plus two and a half young men from their family."
"A while ago, Haruyuki and his family went back to their hometown to support the elderly, and half of the men in the store were missing."
"It was just a coincidence that I met the fifth lady who had some idle workers."
"I've also looked at the people around me. I think it's more than enough to be a handyman running errands. This is the only one who knows a little bit about boxing."
"I saw that he was very neat at work and he also liked to be clean, so I simply stayed."
It can be seen that Song Yao is quite satisfied with Duan Qingshan as a thug.
"Don't worry, he won't stay here at night."
Song Yao saw a slight fear on Jiang Anning's face and thought she was worried about the differences between men and women.
Jiang Anning reluctantly twitched her lips and glanced at Duan Qingshan.
She was so... uneasy.
Who knows if this big brother will go crazy and turn black, and wash out the embroidery workshop with blood.
Duan Qingshan lowered his eyes slightly, looking really honest.
After Song Yao told Jiang Anning about Duan Qingshan, he introduced Jiang Anning to Duan Qingshan: "This is Jiang Anning, the other boss of our embroidery shop. Please recognize him and don't conflict."
"Hello boss!"
Duan Qingshan’s voice was particularly loud and excited.
Jiang Anning:......
She is not good at all.
Fortunately, this man was quite cooperative and did not reveal his acquaintance with her. "Okay, okay, what about...I'm going to wash up first."
Jiang Anning came up with an excuse and ran away without looking back.
Duan Qingshan's voice spread faintly: "There is hot water in the kitchen, I will get it for you."
Jiang Anning:......
Thank you!
"Okay, okay...Thank you, thank you!" She stumbled a few times and smiled reluctantly.
Song Yao didn't think too much: "Then you freshen up first, and we'll set off after breakfast."
As she spoke, there was a trace of sadness between her brows: "The news came yesterday that the county magistrate will also attend this arena competition."
"Huh?"
Jiang Anning was surprised.
How could the county magistrate suddenly come forward to participate in this kind of competition organized by private organizations?
"I'll tell you more in detail later."
Song Yao saw Duan Qingshan fetching water, patted her hand and motioned for her to wash up first.
Jiang Anning hummed softly, opened the four doors, and let people in.
"There is something I need you to do."
Duan Qingshan had just put down the water when he heard Jiang Anning say.
He was surprised: "I thought you were going to drive me away..."
Jiang Anning rolled her eyes at him.
She really wanted to drive people away.
After a few splashes of water to wet his hands and cloth, Jiang Anning spoke slowly and whispered a few words to his colleagues.
"...Do you remember?"
Duan Qingshan said ‘hmm’ and quickly shook his head: “I’ve never seen that person before…”
"There is a portrait on the desk over there. Take a look at it and remember it, then burn it."
Jiang Anning shook off the water on her hands, applied a warm cloth to her eyes for a while, and then gently wiped her face.
"During the day, if you have free time, rent a yard. The more remote the location, the better."
Jiang Anning: "Maybe it's more convenient at home?"
After wiping her face, she felt much refreshed and energetic.
"Or, go to the outskirts of the city to find a ruined temple, or an abandoned house with a dry well... In short, hide it so no one will find it."
She looked at Duan Qingshan, expressionless: "This is the first thing I tell you to do..."
Jiang Anning pursed her lips slightly and swallowed the words "If you can't handle it, get out immediately and stop pestering me."
Crazy, can't be exciting.
"I'll definitely do it."
Duan Qingshan looked at him fiercely and made a promise: "If this fails, I will leave by myself and never appear in front of you again!"
Jiang Anning raised her eyebrows lightly.
That's great!
She pretended to be calm and said "Yeah", not wanting anyone to see her inner excitement.
He waved his hand and sent Duan Qingshan out.
Jiang Anning closed her eyes, feeling suddenly tired.
Yuewen Embroidery Shop and Chaohuang Embroidery Shop are not far apart.
All in all, the distance is only fifty or sixty meters.
This is not a straight line distance.
In terms of straight-line distance, it will only be closer.
Jiang Anning didn't know what the source of the sound she could hear far away was and what the trigger was.
After all, since the last time I heard the conversation between Zhao Yuanshan and Mrs. An, I have only heard two whispers from Jiang Wei's men.
It wasn't until two days ago that she heard Zhao Yinlian's voice again.
Not surprisingly, Sheng Yuewen also investigated clearly the origin of Zhao Yinlian.
Sheng Yuewen didn't care much about the relationship between Zhao Yinlian and Zhao Hai.
In addition, Zhao Yinlian's sweet words once again coaxed Sheng Yuewen to believe that those two-sided and three-different embroidery paintings were done by Zhao Yinlian.
Until, Zhao Yinlian was caught when she was about to run away.
Zhao Yinlian, who was captured, still refused to admit that she didn't know how to embroider...
Sheng Yuewen became suspicious, so he locked the person in the cellar and sentenced him to death.
Unable to bear the severe punishment, Zhao Yinlian resorted to all kinds of punishments.
Including the two-sided and three-different embroidery, it was stolen by the 'Jiang family relatives' who came to rob Jiang Anning's house and fished in troubled waters after they left.
In addition to these two-sided and three-different embroideries, there are also several hairpins and half-leather strips.
Sheng Yuewen reluctantly believed that he had been deceived.
He was actually cheated!
He is a big fool!
In anger, Sheng Yuewen tortured Zhao Yinlian every day.
Jiang Anning just listened to the screams and Sheng Yuewen's incompetent rage for two nights...
"Bitch, you are going to kill me!"
"Do you know that Mrs. An now thinks that I lied to her!"
"In the future, there will no longer be a place for me, Sheng Yuewen, in Jiang'an County."
"Mrs. An will kill me."
"It's all you who hurt me, bitch!"
Sheng Yuewen repeated these words over and over again, which gave Jiang Anning a bold guess.
The reason why Mrs. An suddenly betrayed her and would rather pay Chaohuang Embroidery Workshop one thousand two hundred taels of silver for breach of contract than to choose Yuewen Embroidery Workshop, and even half-heartedly agreed to organize the competition, may be because she saw Zhao Yinlian bring it out Those two-sided and three-different embroideries.
But why?
Although there are only a few embroiderers who can do double-faced and three-different embroidery, if you really look for them, there are always ten or twenty of them.
One thousand two hundred taels...
If a reward is offered, seven or eight people can be found at least.
Unless, what Mrs. An cares about is the two-sided and three-different embroidery paintings that Zhao Yinlian took out.
In her home...
It was probably made by her mother-in-law.
In this way, it seems to make sense why Mrs. An suddenly came to the door and asked her where the other embroiderer was.
It should have been seen that the double-sided and three-different embroidery that Zhao Yinlian took out was made by another embroiderer of the Buddha Ceremony Picture.
But why does Mrs. An care so much about the embroidery made by my mother-in-law?
My mind is in a mess and I really can't think of a clue.
Jiang Anning had a headache.
She sat in a daze for a while on the round stool. It was not until she heard Song Yao calling her that she came back to her senses, closed the door to the inner room, and changed her clothes and makeup.
"What took you so long? I just called you several times..."
Song Yao was just about to raise his hand to knock on the door when he saw the person opening the door with a bad expression and standing at the door. He was startled: "Why is his face so ugly? Did he not sleep well last night? Or are he too tired these days?"
Jiang Anning shook her head: "I'm fine, I just accidentally kicked my foot on the pedal."
She smiled a bit shyly, looking very embarrassed.
Song Yao made a 'squeak' sound and scolded like an elder: "You are such a big man, yet you are so careless!"
Then he became worried again: "Is the kick serious? The fingers are connected to the heart. It hurts the most. Let me take a look and make sure there are no bruises."
Saying that, he was about to take off the person's shoes and socks.
Jiang Anning was startled: "It's not in the way, and it's not serious."
She quickly changed the subject: "It's getting late, let's not delay. Didn't you say that the county magistrate will also be attending today?"
