Chapter 267
"Am I unfounded?"
"Huh?"
Jiao Niang sneered a few times: "Have you forgotten why Wan Niang suddenly got up and opened a Taotie restaurant that night?"
"Or maybe you are obsessed with beauty and have long forgotten that she is happy with you?"
"In the past six months, you have been taking advantage of her admiration for you to do things in secret, right?"
Wang Shang looked a little colder: "Pay attention to your words and deeds."
He warned with a slightly fierce look: "I have never used anyone to do anything for me."
"Don't make something out of nothing here."
"Tell me what is there and what is not."
"You need to know what to say and what not to say, what to say and what not to say!"
He put down the tea cup with a little force and made a clanking sound.
He stood up and walked up to the person: "If you don't know, I don't mind helping you think about it."
"Until you learn to speak."
The girl's breath was slightly stagnant, and she cursed the person bloody in her heart.
You're a bitch, you can't explain it with reason, so just talk to her about force.
Isn't it just because he is a little stronger than her?
Just wait, sooner or later she will kill this bitch.
To retaliate for being bullied by him now!
Really, really... really pissed her off.
Jiao Niang gave Wang Shang a hard look to express her dissatisfaction.
But he didn't dare to say anything more.
Seeing that people were sensible, Wang Shang snorted coldly, put away his sense of oppression, and only warned: "Don't talk nonsense in the future, be careful of losing your tongue."
The girl rolled her eyes.
I said "Yes, yes, I remember", but what I was thinking in my heart was: Why don't you talk nonsense? Which of the words I said was nonsense?
It's the old man of the Zhou family. He learned that his son had been kidnapped in Yuhang and had to sell his property and come to redeem him in person. You didn't do it secretly or induced your wife to open this restaurant. You didn't do it deliberately. ?
That one can really pretend!
It looks like a beautiful white lotus.
Pooh!
hypocritical!
"You scolded me?"
Wang Shang's voice suddenly sounded in people's ears, and the frightened girl almost jumped up. She avoided people's eyes with a guilty conscience and did not dare to look at them: "Who, who scolded you?!"
"I didn't even say anything!"
"Don't slander good people here!"
Wang Shang sneered jokingly: "You have a guilty conscience."
"Who, who feels guilty!"
The girl has the toughest words in her body: "I didn't! Don't accuse a good person unjustly!"
She sneered a few times: "What do I have to be guilty of? It's really a joke."
"Then why don't you dare to look into my eyes?"
Wang Shang came close to the person's ear, blowing gently and warmly. The annoyed girl stared at him, raised her hand and slapped the person twice without hesitation.
"I thought that looking at you would stain my eyes!"
The girl scolded angrily and sneered: "I really don't know if the person who puts you at the top of his heart as the lover of his dreams will regret placing his heart with you when he learns that you are so frivolous and wanton. , I feel unlucky!”
Wang Shang chuckled a few times.
"As long as you don't go out and talk nonsense, I will always be a gentleman."
His words seemed unintentional, but they were actually a warning.
Jiao Niang didn't dare to say anything to contradict her, she was already scolding him bloody in her heart.
Pooh!
What!
You dare to be a hypocrite that you dare not be!
Sooner or later you will be punished!
Even if Jiao Niang didn't say anything, Wang Shang could tell from the person's expression that she was scolding him.
But it's not important.
Having stayed here for so many years, it's normal to have emotions.
Just scold me.
He believed that Jiao Niang still knew where to place her tongue.
Besides...
Now, the only person left by his side is a sweet girl.
Zhaomei, who was sent to contact Zhou Ran before, has been missing for many days. He sent many people and even suspected that it was the capital that summoned the people back.
Later I found someone.
However, it has become a corpse.
In the past six months, too many things have happened.
Wang Shang looked through the door and window at the faintly visible words "Taotie Tower" outside the courtyard wall.
In the past six months, they have spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and even contacted hidden spies placed elsewhere.
Check passing ships and vehicles strictly.
Even in the deep mountains and old forests, they arranged many people to search.
It also cost a lot of people.
Killed by tigers, trapped in miasma, and too many bad things, his originally elite team of a hundred or ten people was almost like a piece of loose sand.
But even like this, they still found no trace of Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai seemed to have disappeared from the world.
Missing.
The only good news is probably that they found a new girl.
He had arranged for him to contact Zhou Ran before, or it couldn't be said that it was arranged by him.
To be precise, the recruiter was the spy in the palace who arranged to monitor him.
Although she obeyed him, she did not obey him completely.
Zhaomei went to find Zhou Ran, hoping to use the hands of Zhou Ran and several other people in the village to interfere and inflict pain on Jiang Anning's life.
It was just the idea that Zhao Mei came up with.
Zhaomei made her own decision and went ahead with it.
Of course, he didn't object.
He had no objection.
These people originally suspected that he had compassion for Jiang Anning, and suspected that he would come up with the idea of letting Jiang Anning marry Zhao Hai's family, and then the ungrateful white-eyed wolf from Zhao Hai's family would torture her to death through domestic violence. The idea is to delay time.
They even filed a lawsuit against him for this.
And the reason why he was able to gain the king's trust was not because he was really a confidant and was highly used by the emperor.
Since ancient times, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.
The imperial power is so strife that even brothers and sisters are not worthy of trust.
What's more, it's just a knife whose life is like a piece of grass?
This knife is not obedient, just replace it with a new one.
Counting on the emperor, for a sharp blade in his hand... Oh, even this sharp blade is not tightly held by the emperor.
A knife that might turn around at any moment and stab itself with a sharp edge.
Where does unconditional and bottomless trust come from?
It is true that he would rather kill by mistake than let go.
The reason why he is still alive is simply because he heard what Sang Jingwan said back then.
If Jiang Anning died before the age of twenty-five, Sang Jingwan would come back to life.
To avenge her daughter herself.
Although such words about ghosts and gods are too nonsense.
But don’t be afraid of ten thousand in everything, just be afraid of the worst case...
Even the emperor did not dare to take risks rashly.
After all, Sang Jingwan's bizarre abilities are really scary. Who knows if she really has any backup plans?
Jiang Anning was just a young girl with little experience in the world, and was not something to be feared in the eyes of the emperor.
But if Sang Jingwan is resurrected...
The emperor still has trouble sleeping at night when he thinks about it.
It was because of this taboo that he had the opportunity to show off his pity in front of the emperor.
Successfully saved his life.
Naturally, he had no position, let alone any need, to oppose recruiting girls.
As long as Jiang Anning doesn't die before the age of twenty-five, the rest won't matter.
Even if Jiang Anning dies early, it doesn't matter.
It wasn't his idea to ask them to create additional difficulties for Jiang Anning in addition to Zhao Hai's family, making him look like a lone star in the sky.
Just...
Wang Shang recalled everything that had happened since Jiang Anning took Zhao Hai to court.
It still felt like there was something that he had overlooked.
Just like that, he still doesn't know why Zhaomei drowned in the river mud.
What exactly happened?
Why did Zhou Ran die?
Who on earth killed Zhou Ran so cruelly?
Recruiting girls?
Or someone else?
Could the person who killed Zhao Mei be the same person who killed Zhou Ran?
Where did Zhao Hai go?
Did he really escape into the sea of people and be hard to find...or is he actually dead, but they haven't found his body yet?
Seeing that they were about to leave, they followed Jiang Anning back to the capital.
There are still so many mysteries that have not been solved.
-
In the Taotie Tower.
Jiang Anning ignored the late mother's sobs and complained.
If in the past, she had seen a beautiful woman crying and pear blossoms with rain, I would have felt pity for her, and I would have softened my heart long ago.
But...
As long as I think about it, on a night of heavy rain, the night mother, with shovel after shovel, knocked a tall and big man into the river beach.
Directly drowning people in the mud of the river, without any fear on their faces.
She could no longer feel any distress.
It's not that she has any objections to Wan Niang, it's just that... whenever she thinks of what happened on that rainy night, she will feel that all the grievances and pity of the person in front of her are all fake.
It's simply not worth believing.
Speaking of which, that night...
Jiang Anning paused slightly as she flipped through the menu, recalling what happened that night, her eyes gradually drifting away.
It was a rainy night with thunder and lightning.
There was lightning and thunder in the sky, and from time to time a bolt of thunder would strike down. The doors and windows of every house were closed tightly, and no one dared to come out at all.
I was afraid that I would be unlucky enough to get into thunder and fire, and lose my life in vain.
Jiang Anning was originally the same.
She even planned to take a rest early that day.
But before I could take off my shoes and get on the kang, the barrage suddenly began to flash through many red and bold words "The late mother is in danger"
She didn't know what happened, but she didn't care to think about it.
In a hurry, according to the instructions of the barrage, I found the place where Wan Niang was.
At that time, the tall and fierce man was squeezing the bride's neck, with a ferocious face and messy clothes.
Without thinking, Jiang Anning picked up a stone and hit the person on the back of the head.
But I don’t know what the man’s head is made of.
He hit her hard twice with great force, and she was bleeding profusely, but she didn't even fall down.
I saw him throwing his wife out and walking towards him with a ferocious and disgusting smile. The obscene and evil smile was disgusting to watch.
He stretched out his hand towards her with contemptuous eyes, as if he was mocking her for how a woman with no strength could dare to shake a tree and meddle in other people's business without overestimating her abilities.
Even though she was far away, Jiang Anning could feel the malice coming from the man.
At a certain moment, she even felt that this ugly and ferocious man's face coincided with Zhao Hai's face.
They are all useless people who only use their strength to bully weak women, but take pride and joy in doing so.
Jiang Anning's eyes turned cold, and she just grabbed the stone in her hand, intending to throw it at the person's disgusting face and disgusting eyes.
Hearing a bang, the man's eyes widened in disbelief.
Then he fell down softly.
"Mother of the evening?"
Jiang Anning was a little shocked as she watched the man fall down and reveal his figure.
She was still holding the shovel that had just knocked down the man in her hand, and her eyes were cold and there was no trace of warmth.
The late wife just glanced at Jiang Anning lightly and said nothing.
He just walked over to the man and touched the man's neck with the spade two more times.
The hatred-filled intensity made Jiang Anning feel a little painful.
After that, the late wife still didn't say a word.
One person, alone and with great difficulty, dragged the disgusting man to the river.
Face down, he was dunked into the river mud.
The strong wind blew the river water and kept lapping the river beach.
The cold and turbid river water splashed under the bride's knees, making all the clothes wet.
It also submerged half of the head of the disgusting man who was stepping on the queen's feet.
As the wife waved the shovel, she knocked people into the river mud again and again.
Jiang Anning saw the man's weak struggle.
But soon, he stopped moving.
The man was finally drowned before bleeding to death.
Jiang Anning watched from a distance, but it wasn't that she didn't want to go up and help.
In fact, the way the wife looked at that time made her feel that stepping forward to help would be troublesome.
After it was confirmed that the person was dead, Wan Niang fell to the ground as if her nerves were tense and completely torn, letting the river water wash over her body over and over again.
She whimpered and cried every night.
She cried for a long time, from silent to loud, and from loud to silent... Finally, when the rain was about to stop and the sky was about to break, she said her first words that night to Jiang An Ning: "An Ning, he killed my mother. .”
Jiang Anning didn't quite understand at the time who the mother-in-law was talking about.
It wasn't until later that she vaguely remembered...it was Hua Fang's former boss, Wu Niang.
It can be said that the late wife loves and hates the owner of the boat.
He hated her for treating him as a cash cow and preventing her from redeeming herself.
It also broke her fantasy and let her know that the vows and promises made by those men were all bullshit!
They were all lies to her.
But she has never known who her parents were since she was a child.
I only know that since she can remember, the one who has taken care of her, taught her skills, beat her and scolded her, but it is also the person who has made her grow up peacefully and comfortably... is Wu Niang.
She wanted to hate, but she couldn't.
Until, until Wu Niang died, she was helping people sort out their belongings and accidentally saw a blood letter.
Only then did he realize how ridiculous his life experience was.
She was the child of a little sister named Wu Niang in Hua Fang.
That little sister risked being beaten to death because she believed the man's lies on her belly and secretly gave birth to her.
He also spent all his savings to support the man's studies and imperial examinations.
I thought that when a man became successful, he would take me away from this dusty place and live an ordinary life together.
Unexpectedly...
The man had already married someone else, and not only abandoned her, he even wanted to kill her.
