Chapter 245: Catch Jiang Anning
Jiang Anning was slightly startled when he heard the words and seemed thoughtful.
Duan Qingshan hesitated for a moment and said boldly: "Actually, I have always been confused."
Jiang Anning said "huh?" with confusion on her face, and looked up at him.
"What the three of them said together that day should be considered shameful."
"At least it shouldn't be in front of me..."
"But not only did they say it in front of me, they also pretended to give me hush money, as if they were afraid that I wouldn't take it as a secret and take it seriously."
Duan Qingshan pursed his lips: "People like them should know better that the only ones who can really keep secrets are dead people."
"How could they just give me some gold and silver and then safely think that I have really been bribed by them?"
"Even afterwards, there was absolutely no intention to kill or silence anyone."
Jiang Anning frowned: "What do you mean?"
"They know that the slave is loyal to you."
"Maybe I guessed that I will tell you everything I heard them say that day, word for word."
Duan Qingshan curled his fingers slightly: "Perhaps, letting you know is their ultimate goal."
Jiang Anning frowned even more tightly.
"If the speculation you mentioned is true, then what are they planning?"
Let her know the truth about A Niang's death. Apart from arousing her hatred and making her want to avenge A Niang, what else can she do?
But... they were the murderers who killed her mother-in-law!
Is it possible that there is some conspiracy behind this?
Jiang Anning couldn't think of the reason, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
No matter what conspiracy and calculation those behind the scenes are hiding, sooner or later, it will be exposed.
You can't keep it secret for the rest of your life, right?
Kill her?
Come on though.
She has already died once, and living so many more days in this life is already lucky.
There is nothing to be dissatisfied with.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
Jiang Anning adjusted her mentality, stopped worrying, and asked Duan Qingshan: "What did those women explain?"
"They said that they were from a poor family living in the north of the city. They had nothing to do with their lives, and the men at home didn't care. Apart from drinking and playing around all day long, they would beat and kick them, forcing them to go out to make money, and even force them to They..."
Duan Qingshan couldn't bear it, and he really couldn't tell the dirty things.
"It was Zhao Jiang who found them and promised to give each of them fifty taels of silver, and asked them to pretend to be ladies who came to buy embroidery and help him catch him in bed!"
When Duan Qingshan said "catch someone in bed", he gritted his teeth with hatred.
He really didn't dare to think about what would happen if he didn't accidentally find Zhao Jiang sneaking in in time, and wait for Jiang Anning to come back exhausted.
Jiang Anning was much calmer.
"Fifty taels per person? What a generous gesture."
"Have you asked Zhao Jiang? Where did he get the money?"
Duan Qingshan was silent, looking at Jiang Anning as he hesitated to speak.
"What are you looking at me for? I'm asking you something."
Jiang Anning frowned, she really didn't like Duan Qingshan's way of being silent at every turn.
Duan Qingshan felt the person's displeasure, pursed his lower lip, and whispered softly: "The women said that they also suspected that Zhao Jiang was praising Haikou and asked him to come up with the money first."
< br>
"However, Zhao Jiang did not agree and acted as if they believed it or not and did it or not."
"They also said that they are unwilling to do it, but there are many people who are willing to do it."
"Let them not wait until he goes to find someone else before they regret it and then kneel down and beg him to give them a chance."
"Those women have been enslaved and abused by their husbands for a long time. If they can't earn money to support their husbands, they will be beaten and kicked, and they won't even be able to eat."
"I was worried that I would really miss this opportunity and be beaten, scolded and starved when I went back, so I thought I would just give it a try. I am really a liar, and they are not at a loss. They are just saying a few words."
Duan Qingshan's voice paused slightly: "Zhao Jiang also told those women..."
Jiang Anning frowned.
Why is this man always talking about him?
What she asked was obviously where Zhao Jiang got so much money.
What she wants to know is who is the person who instigated Zhao Jiang behind the scenes and provided him with the funds.
It's impossible. It was Zhao Jiang who suddenly made a fortune. In order to get revenge on her, he spent a lot of money to come here to plot against her, right?
"What did Zhao Jiang say to those women?"
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Jiang Anning's voice.
"Say..." Duan Qingshan did not dare to hide anything anymore and blushed angrily: "Say, my lord, you are a well-known great embroiderer in Jiang'an County. Even His Majesty the Saint issued a decree to authenticate it. How can she still have what she has in her hand?" Are you short of money? Let alone fifty taels, even five hundred taels... She, she can afford it.”
Duan Qingshan's voice became lower and lower.
Jiang Anning was stunned for a while.
After realizing it with hindsight, Duan Qingshan's words meant that Zhao Jiang had no money at all and planned to ruin her reputation, force her to marry her, and then seize her money to give to those who were complicit with him to ruin her reputation and innocence. The ending of The Murderers.
Ha ha ha ha! !
What a good plan!
What a good calculation! !
The Zhao family is very good!
Jiang Anning took a deep breath, unwilling to waste too much emotion on a species like Zhao Jiang.
“Where is Zhao Jiang?”
She asked Duan Qingshan in a calm voice.
Duan Qingshan couldn't help but carefully peek at people's faces.
"Watch what I do again?"
Jiang Anning glanced over with a cold look, making her tremble with fright and lower her head.
Feeling the gaze on his head, he hurriedly said: "I was worried that those who ran away would come back again and secretly rescued Zhao Jiang, so I put a sack on him and threw him into a dry well in the deserted courtyard next door."< br>
Duan Qingshan was cautious and almost bit his tongue: "I went to keep company with Zhao Yinlian."
After saying that, he fell to his knees with a plop: "Yes, I'm sorry, I made my own decision again."
He suddenly felt panic.
I secretly regret how I always make the same mistake knowingly and intentionally.
Jiang Anning glanced at the person, wondering what the trembling man was up to.
She said calmly: "You did a good job."
"Since the man has been thrown into the dry well in the deserted courtyard, let's ignore him for the time being."
"Let the two brothers and sisters have a good reunion, so that there will be no separation between the brothers and sisters in the future."
Thinking of something, she glanced at Duan Qingshan again: "Have you arranged for someone to go over there and watch?"
"It's arranged."
Duan Qingshan respectfully replied: "The wellhead was also sealed with a stone slab, leaving only a gap, which allowed some light to penetrate."
"Now, unless he has the ability to escape, he will not be able to escape."
Jiang Anning said "hmm", thought about it, and decided to take care of Zhao Jiang early to avoid long nights and dreams.
In the final analysis, those people under Duan Qingshan are just farm guys who have fled from famine, and they may not even know how to box or kick.
If you really encounter a dead soldier who wants to save someone, you may not be able to withstand even one of his attacks, and your life will be in vain. "I'll go over and see Zhao Jiang."
Jiang Anning was about to walk out when she suddenly stopped, looked at the person and asked, "Has anything been prepared in the kitchen today?"
She looked out the door: "Have they all eaten?"
"In the evening, I made noodles and cooked a pot of eggplant meat."
Duan Qingshan replied respectfully: "Everyone has eaten, and I am grateful to you in my heart!"
Jiang Anning said "hmm".
Duan Qingshan seemed to suddenly remember and slapped his forehead: "By the way, this afternoon, shortly after you left, someone from Jiangjiacun came over and said he would give you some freshly picked mushrooms. , I didn’t know when you would go back, so I sent some over.”
"From Jiangjiacun?"
Hearing the words "Jiangjia Village", Jiang Anning frowned instinctively, feeling disgust rising in her heart for no reason.
"Yes, from Jiangjiacun..." Duan Qingshan couldn't help but feel annoyed again when he saw the person's expression was not good, and subconsciously stood up straight: "She said she is your neighbor, and said that you will know who it is as soon as you hear Aunt Fang. I heard her talk in a friendly manner and seemed to be very familiar with you. I also checked the fungi and found that they were indeed edible. ”
After Duan Qingshan explained a few words, he stopped his voice in annoyance and looked at the person timidly: "Did I do something wrong again?"
After Jiang Anning heard that it was "Aunt Fang", her expression became more relaxed.
"Is it Aunt Fang?"
She smiled slightly: "It's Aunt Fang, then it's okay."
Duan Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief.
He just explained more carefully: "You look familiar, I saw those people from Jiangjia Village last time."
At that time, Jiang Anning seemed to have indeed called her Aunt Fang, and looking at her, it looked like they had a very good relationship.
The general information can be matched, and then Duan Qingshan will make his own decision and let people leave the things.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "Originally, I told her to wait for you to come back and give the things to you personally."
"It's just that she seemed to be in a hurry. After putting down her things, she left in a hurry."
Jiang Anning said "hmm" and said nothing more.
She walked towards the kitchen and asked as she walked: "Are there any seasonings such as chili or ginger?"
"Yes."
Jiang Anning originally thought about bringing some freshly fried chili peppers.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of half a basket of mushrooms lying next to him.
After pondering for a moment, she gave up on frying chili oil and choking her eyes. She turned around and carefully picked up the few mushrooms in the basket with a handkerchief.
"Let's go."
Duan Qingshan, who was looking for chili peppers, was in a daze: "Your Majesty?"
No more peppers?
Jiang Anning curved her lips and smiled: "I think I have found something more useful and interesting than chili peppers."
Duan Qingshan looked confused.
Jiang Anning had no intention of explaining.
Deserted courtyard, dry well.
After Zhao Jiang was thrown down, his left foot had been in severe pain, and he didn't know if it was broken due to the fall.
But he shouted here for a long time, and no one responded.
At this moment, my voice was hoarse from shouting.
Finally he heard the noise and felt the light above his head gradually increasing. He looked up with surprise in his eyes: "Is there anyone there? Help! Help!"
"As long as you rescue me, I will definitely ask the No. 1 embroiderer in Jiang'an County to give you money, give you a lot of money, buy you a house and land, save me, save me..."
With a hoarse voice, Zhao Jiang spoke out what he thought were the best conditions at once, hoping that the other party could rescue him.
The stone slab on top of the dry well was completely removed. Jiang Anning couldn't help but laugh a few times when she heard what Zhao Jiang said.
When Zhao Jiang heard the familiar voice, he squinted his eyes and raised his head to see clearly who was above his head.
"Jiang Anning?"
He panicked for no reason, but soon he felt confident.
"Why are you here? Hurry up and pull me up!"
Zhao Jiang was very bossy and ordered Jiang Anning to rescue him immediately.
It seemed as if Jiang Anning was still the daughter-in-law-to-be who had been assigned the fate of being a slave before she even got married.
He ordered without any politeness: "Then prepare a table of good wine and good food for me."
"I suffered a big sin today."
"You must eat something good to replenish your body."
It looked like he didn't understand his situation at all.
Jiang Anning said coldly: "It seems that your Zhao family really treats me like a cow and horse?"
"You have already fallen to this, and you can still say such words so confidently... It can be seen that to this day, you people in the Zhao family do not feel that you have done anything wrong, and you do not feel the slightest apology."< br>
Zhao Jiang was stunned and said angrily: "Why should we feel guilty?"
"You should be the one to apologize, bitch!"
"Originally, our family was living a good life, enjoying good food, drinking hot food, and being carefree every day. It was all because of you, a vicious woman who caused trouble and refused to recognize our relatives, that our family was separated like this!"
He sneered a few times: "I'm still willing to call you around now, because that's a chance to save you."
"It's your atonement!"
"Don't be shameless. You've got an advantage and still behave."
Zhao Jiang angrily scolded: "Pull me up quickly."
"No matter how well you serve me, maybe I can allow you to enter my Zhao family and continue to be the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law of my Zhao family, and the clan daughter-in-law who can be recorded in my Zhao family tree in the future. Otherwise, ...I’m afraid no one in the whole of Dajing would dare to marry a woman with a vicious heart like yours, right?”
Jiang Anning:......
She was silent for a long time.
Suddenly, I felt some sympathy for no reason.
For such a brainless species to live to such an old age is really hard for people who have met him and spent time with him before.
What's the difference between talking and communicating with this kind of person and going through a tribulation?
She didn't answer Zhao Jiang's words, firstly because she didn't want to be led by others, and secondly... she was really speechless.
"Do you know whose body is at the bottom of the well with you?"
Jiang Anning suddenly asked.
Zhao Jiang was stunned for a while, and then burst into madman's laughter: "Ah haha, Jiang Anning, I have caught you!"
