I was killed by domestic violence, and I went crazy with barrage

Chapter 200 The truth behind A Niang’s murder
Jiang Anning had almost arranged everything and planned to rest early and return to the county early tomorrow.

It was a good opportunity to transfer the Zhao family's original house deeds and land deeds to my own name to avoid any future disputes.

I had already taken off my shoes, washed my feet, and was lying on the kang, preparing to blow out the lights. Just then I thought of Zhou Ran who was still soaking in the grave cage.

She sighed softly, "I actually forgot about him."

Looking at the sky now, it’s still early.

Many people probably haven't gone to bed yet.

Jiang Anning sighed helplessly, stood up resignedly, and sat back in front of the embroidery frame.

She lit two more candles and made the flames burn brightly.

After finishing the third cat-playing picture, Jiang Anning stretched his muscles, opened the window, looked at the position of the moon hanging outside, and estimated that it was about time.

This is the time when people are sleeping the deepest.

She closed the window quietly, relit the two candles, and put the lampshade on the outside.

Wearing the straw raincoat, hat and waders he wore that day, Jiang Anning climbed over the wall of the yard behind the house and walked towards the depths of the woods.

Zhou Ran felt as if he was about to die.

He felt like he had spent an extremely long time in this dirty, smelly, cold water. He saw no hope of survival and his energy and spirit instantly weakened.

Just when he was filled with despair and felt he was about to die, a rustling sound suddenly came from above his head.

Who?
who is it?

Did someone come to rescue him?

Zhou Ran seemed to have a last burst of energy. His originally weak body seemed to have been injected with chicken blood and instantly regained its vitality.

His cloudy eyes sparkled with hope.

Who?
who is it?

He called out in a mumbling voice, trying to attract the attention of people outside.

But he waited for a long time and didn't get any response.

Could it be that the people outside are not human?

The hope in Zhou Ran's eyes gradually turned into despair.

He soon became depressed again.

It was as if someone had drained away all his energy and spirit, and he looked very old.

Just when he thought that the noise outside might be caused by some animal passing by and not a human, the oilcloth tree cage covering his head was suddenly lifted up.

Even outside, it was still pitch black with no light to be seen.

But occasionally when the wind blows, the lush leaves are blown open with some gaps, and the moonlight takes the opportunity to shine in.

somebody is coming!

Zhou Ran raised his head with excitement and looked at Jiang An Ning, the man who saved him from the endless darkness. The little hope that suddenly arose in his heart was instantly strangled as if by someone. He choked and felt very uncomfortable.

Yes, it’s that scary man!
He looked at the familiar attire of the person, and his memory was once again brought back to that horrific night.

This time, Zhou Ran didn't even dare to make a sound. He looked at the man with fear in his eyes, alert that the other party would suddenly rush forward, grab his hair, and throw him into the dirty water.

He really didn't want to experience that feeling of being on the verge of death again.

"Why did you suddenly stop calling?"

Jiang Anning looked at Zhou Ran for a while, curious and sarcastic: "Didn't you shout very loudly just now?"

Zhou Ran immediately shook his head like a rattle.

No, no!

His mouth was glued shut, so how could he scream loudly?

Hmmmm!!

He looked at people with pleading eyes.

I'm already honest, please let me go.

"Are you trying to say you're innocent?"

"Do you still feel that you have suffered an unexpected disaster?"

Jiang Anning looked at him with a smile, and tried to persuade him patiently.

Zhou Ran hummed twice.

Yeah yeah!

But he soon realized something was wrong.

Maybe it was because he had been locked up in that dark tree cage for too long.

So much so that he is now very sensitive to sound.
Any disturbance around here would arouse his vigilance.

Just now, although Jiang Anning's voice was very soft, he still caught it delicately.

She is sneering!

why?
Zhou Ran thought frantically and soon thought of something, and changed his answer with a mumble.

No no!

I have no grievances!
I deserve it!

Ahhhhh… Zhou Ran was so anxious that his throat kept moving and making a hoarse sound.

Jiang Anning smiled.

She was quite kind and tore off the glue on the person's mouth.

But the force was so strong and merciless that it directly tore the person's lips off.

Blood gushed out instantly, covering Zhou Ran's lips.

Zhou Ran, however, didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly defended himself, admitted his fault, and begged for mercy: "I'm not innocent, I deserve it, I deserve it, please forgive me, please forgive me, wuwuwu..."

Jiang Anning snorted and laughed: "I'll spare you?"

Hmmmm!!

Zhou Ran nodded repeatedly, full of pleading.

"That's not impossible." Jiang An Ning's smile deepened: "But I don't think you are sincere in begging for mercy."

"I..." Zhou Ran didn't know what it meant to be sincere, and he was tied up all over and couldn't move at all.

He was so anxious that he was about to cry, and he kept knocking his head against the pile of dirt next to him: "Please, please, spare me."

He doesn't want to die!
Whenever Zhou Ran thought of the tongue jumping around in front of him that day, he couldn't help but suffer from urinary incontinence.

"You can let me spare you if you want."

Jiang Anning chuckled: "But there is only one chance, it depends on whether you can seize it."

Zhou Ran nodded quickly.

can!
He must be able to!

Jiang Anning just looked at him with a smile and didn't say anything.

Zhou Ran was confused and helpless. After a long while, he seemed to suddenly understand something.

"What do you want to know? I, I said, I..."

Seeing that the other person still had no intention of speaking or asking questions, Zhou Ran had no choice but to rack his brains and dig out all his memories of the past ten years.

Suddenly, he remembered something, and regardless of the blood in his mouth, he said hastily, "The chief of Jiangjia Village is actually a bandit!"

"When the government conscripted labor, he and his two brothers were taken away from his family."

"I heard that his two brothers died on the dam. They were swept away by the flood when the dam was being repaired, and even their bodies were not fished out."

"Later, the others who were also taken away for forced labor were still alive and returned one after another." "Only Chief Jiang disappeared."

"Everyone speculated that he also died in corvée labor."

Zhou Ran watched Jiang An Ning's expression and every move in a panic, fearing that what he said would displease others and he would lose his life immediately.

Fortunately, although he couldn't see the man's expression, he could roughly feel that the man was not angry.

It can be seen that she is quite interested in what he said.

This immediately gave him great confidence.

As if he had taken a reassurance pill, Zhou Ran breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Then suddenly one day, Chief Jiang came back and became the chief of Jiang Village."

"Everyone in the village thought he was just lucky."

"But I am the only one who knows that it's not just his luck."

"He is a traitor and a lackey. He got the position of the chief of Jiangjia Village by kneeling and licking others like a lapdog."

Jiang Anning's expression suddenly became a little subtle.

Seeing that she still had no expression, Zhou Ran became anxious and began to hesitate. He didn't know what she meant, but he didn't dare to stop rashly, so he had to continue talking.

"If that's all, then there's nothing to say."

"It's just some idle gossip among the country folk. I dare not waste your precious time and ears by telling you."

"To be honest, the timing of Chief Jiang's return is too coincidental."

Zhou Ran glanced at Jiang An Ning with a sly look, hoping that the other party would ask a question so that he would have the energy to continue talking.

It really makes me nervous to hear you talking here in such a dry voice.

I was afraid that if I said something wrong, I would be pushed into the water and meet the King of Hell again.

But Jiang Anning is a very patient person.

Mingming was particularly interested in the fact that Chief Jiang disappeared inexplicably and then returned inexplicably to become the chief of Jiangjia Village.

But she just kept silent.

Zhou Ran was worried and didn't dare to let go.

I am afraid that some details are not explained clearly and carefully enough.

"This Chief Jiang came back eight years ago."

Zhou Ran deliberately emphasized the tone of the three words "eight years ago".

He wanted to use this to test Jiang Anning's reaction.

Jiang Anning noticed the man's intention and sneered: "It seems that you are not honest."

Zhou Ran became visibly panicked when he heard this.

Just when he was about to beg for mercy, Jiang Anning suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his hair, and pulled his head towards his ankles.

I was suddenly pushed into the water and immediately choked on a large mouthful of water.

The muscles and bones all over the body were pulled apart with great force, causing the person to suffer excruciating pain.

Uh-huh! !

Gulu~Gulu~
Zhou Ran once again felt the coming of death.

He was pulled out of the water repeatedly and pushed back in. The pulling caught him off guard and instantly caused him to choke on a lot of water, causing him severe choking.

"This is the last chance I'll give you."

"If you still can't learn how to speak properly, then..."

Jiang Anning sneered: "You think you will be frozen to death here in this desolate mountain, or eaten alive by some unknown wild beast first?"

"I heard that ferocious beasts don't like to bite their prey to death when they catch it."

"They will leave their prey with a breath of air for a while, so that they don't have the strength to fight back, but they won't die, which would affect the fresh taste."

“So when the prey is being eaten, it can feel its limbs, head, chest, etc. being torn off alive, and then it slowly dies in agony.”

Just a few words scared Zhou Ran so much that he peed his pants again.

Uh huh...

He shook his head desperately to indicate no.

I said, I will speak nicely, I will be honest and I will never have any bad thoughts again.

He hummed and hawed, eager to express, "I'm already honest, please let me go."

Jiang Anning snorted coldly, and felt that he had had enough of the trouble, so he generously let go of his hand and gave the man freedom for the time being.

Zhou Ran felt as if he had been pardoned. He gasped for breath and looked at Jiang An Ning with even more fear, fearing that he had done something wrong again and accidentally angered this moody "man".

"Go on."

Jiang Anning spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if it was quite lively.

Zhou Ran's heart was beating even more nervously. He had no idea what this "man" wanted to hear, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to say whatever he thought.

"Eight or eight years ago, a migrant from Jiangjia Village was killed by bandits on his way back from work."

"The body came back almost at the same time as Chief Jiang."

"At that time, everyone was frightened by the murder case. Everyone avoided it, fearing that they would be found by the bandits and lose their lives. Not many people paid attention to the fact that Chief Jiang had returned."

"Although, everyone in Chief Jiang's family has agreed to say that the man came back three days before the incident."

"But I remember it most clearly."

"Chief Jiang, he came back at the same time as the bodies of the foreign couple."

"At first I didn't know why they told this lie."

"Thinking about it later, I just thought they were afraid of being taboo and worried that someone would come to them for trouble, so they spoke in a unified tone."

"It was not until that nobleman in the capital came to me and asked me to tell Zhao Hai's family about Jiang Anning... oh, the orphan of the foreign couple, that I learned some secrets about the Jiang clan leader."

"Back then, Chief Jiang's two elder brothers died in labor service, which frightened him so much that he ran away to the mountains and became a bandit."

"But even though he entered the bandit den, he was not welcomed by the bandits at all and was only assigned to work in the kitchen."

"Later, the capital sent people to suppress the bandits. This spineless old Deng immediately went over to lead the way for the surrendered bandits, catching them off guard and slaughtering them all."

Zhou Ran thought of that scene and swallowed his saliva in fear: "After those people killed the bandits, they did not leave immediately. Instead, they stayed in the bandits' lair."

"Chief Jiang followed them like a lapdog until the couple passed by the bandit's den and were killed by those who came to suppress the bandits..."

"What did you say?!"

Jiang Anning was furious for a moment. She stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Ran's hair, forcing him to look up at her.

"You said, mother... who killed the couple who came from outside?"

She almost gritted her teeth before she suppressed her surging hatred and spoke as calmly as possible.

“By, by those who are suppressing the bandits!”

Zhou Ran was so frightened that he nearly peed his pants again. He had no idea what he had said wrong to offend that person.

"How do you know? It was those bandit-suppressing people who killed my mother... and the stranger couple!"

Jiang Anning's hands, which were pulling Zhou Ran's hair, uncontrollably exerted a little more force, as if she wanted to tear the person's scalp off.

Zhou Ran was in so much pain that he felt dizzy and didn't pay attention to the word "mother" that was just uttered by the person.

"Once, I was drinking with someone, and he got drunk, so he accidentally said it out. I wanted to use this as a handle to extort some money from him."

In fact, he wanted to get hold of someone, so he tricked the person into going to a brothel, got him drunk, and then tricked him into revealing the truth.

Later, I don't know if it was because after sobering up, the memory of that night still remained, but I became very defensive against him, even ostracizing and targeting him in overt and covert ways.

He was worried that the man might have been a bandit or robber, and might have stained his hands with blood and kill people without blinking an eye.

So he didn't dare to act rashly and just kept the matter to himself.
