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

Chapter 244 Death Soldiers?

When Jiang Anning's eyes swept over people, they inexplicably felt a fear that went deep into their bones and spread from the soles of their feet.

They were forced to lose control, put away their sticks in panic and get out of the way.

Duan Qingshan was a little dumbfounded.

The others were equally dumbfounded.

What just happened?
"You guys..." Duan Qingshan was about to ask everyone what was going on.

Could it be that he recognized Jiang Anning?

But clearly, today was the first time for them to meet Jiang An Ning!
Unexpectedly, the others were even more surprised than him. They couldn't figure it out and asked before him: "Second Master, who was that young lady just now?"

The aura he carries is so frightening!
They just seemed to have their souls sucked out of them, their hands and feet were completely out of control, and they just wanted to surrender and kneel on the ground.

There is no way to resist!!

It's like being bewitched!!

"That's your boss!" Duan Qingshan glared at her and warned her, "But in the city, you must be respectful and call her 'girl'. If anyone dares to talk nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

He angrily lectured everyone: "Be alert! If anyone dares to offend the girl, don't blame me for being ruthless and rude to you!"

The man said quickly, "How could that be possible, Second Master! We are not ungrateful people. We know who gave us a full meal, and we also know who gave us a place to live when everyone else was treating us like a flood or a beast, and when we were suffering from disease and disaster, and we were able to survive, and we even protected our family from disaster!"

"The kindness the young lady has shown us is like a rebirth. Even if we spend our whole lives repaying her, we will never be able to repay her fully."

“It’s easy to add icing on the cake, but it’s difficult to provide help when it’s time!”

"We all know the importance of these things."

"Yes!"

"Yup!"

Others followed suit and echoed.

Duan Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, and thinking about how everyone had been very respectful just now, he nodded.

"You all wait here first."

He looked up in the direction of Jiang Anning's boudoir and felt inexplicably frightened.

He let out a long breath and then said, "I'll go in and take a look first."

After that, he warned everyone: "No one is allowed to go in and disturb without me or the girl calling you. Do you hear me?"

"Girls don't like crowds..."

Everyone nodded and agreed, "I understand."
-
Beijing.

Jiang'an Marquis Mansion.

Jiang Wei's brows were furrowed in worry. Although his eyes were fixed on the book in his hand, he actually didn't read a single line of words.

He threw the book down in annoyance and glared at Sheng Ji beside him: "You still haven't found out anything about Princess Shaoan?"

Sheng Ji lowered his head, looking ashamed: "No."

"What about the news about Aunt Gui? There's none either?" Jiang Wei's patience was almost running out, and the anger in his heart was rising.

Sheng Ji lowered his head even lower, not daring to look anyone in the eye: "No, no."

"What about Jiang Anning's news?"

Jiang Wei sneered: "You should be able to find out about her."

"She should have received the imperial edict by now."

He chuckled with some disdain: "You are really lucky."

"I think she must be very happy now, and she's almost going crazy."

Jiang Wei was jealous and unhappy, but he snorted with smugness and complacency: "I asked you to arrange someone to follow her. She should have passed my message to her by now, right?"

"How did she say it?"

"Are you missing me, your son, day and night, and losing your appetite? Now that you finally know about me, you are so happy that you want to fly to the capital to meet me right away?"

He laughed triumphantly a few times: "That must be the case."

"It's really hard for her."

"I don't know how painful it was for her during this period."

"If she finds out that I'm already engaged after she arrives in Beijing, I'm afraid she'll be even more heartbroken."

Jiang Wei's tone was full of joy.

It seemed as if seeing Jiang Anning in pain was something that brought physical and mental pleasure.

"But it doesn't matter. When she knows, she can be my concubine and serve me well. If Princess Shao'an is also a magnanimous person, after she gives birth to a child for me, there will always be a chance for her to be brought into the mansion. Even if she can't be my concubine, there is still a chance that she can be my first wife."

"She will definitely be happy then."

Sheng Ji was silent for a long time. After a while, he considered his words and said as little as possible to avoid hurting his young master's self-esteem: "Our people have not seen Miss Jiang yet."

Jiang Wei frowned: "Didn't see it?"

He was furious: "What do you mean? Didn't I ask you to arrange for someone to go to Jiang'an County with the angel who delivered the decree?"

"She cares about me and loves me so much. When she sees the people around me, I'm afraid she won't even care about the imperial decree."

Jiang Wei paused and said, "Didn't you do as I said and find someone familiar to follow you?"

That's why Jiang Anning didn't recognize the person, and the people they arranged to go there had no chance to get close.

Yes!

That must be the case!
With that little girl's wild-cat-like personality, she would only show her belly to the people she trusted and loved, and would always be aggressive towards others. If she didn't recognize the person he had arranged to go, she would definitely not allow a stranger to approach.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!

That girl is very smart!
Achievements:…

Sir, you are a little too confident.

He was speechless for a while. After a long time, he calmed down and stated the facts to the people as calmly as possible.

"The imperial edict was not received by Miss Jiang herself."

"Our people have never seen Miss Jiang from beginning to end."

Sheng Ji paused for a moment, then suddenly understood.

Yes!

Jiang Anning didn't accept the order at all.

Then isn’t it reasonable that their people have never seen Jiang An Ning?
Hehehe, this can't be considered as dereliction of duty!
This is all understandable!

Sheng Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and when he responded, he was much more confident.

"No order?"

Jiang Wei frowned: "Jiang Anning is so bold that he dares not even accept the imperial edict?"

Is she crazy?
Are you going to die? You even dare to disobey the imperial edict. Are you really that bold?

Even he, as the young master of the Marquis Jiang'an Mansion, let alone him, even his father, the dignified Marquis Jiang'an, did not dare to openly disobey the order.

Jiang Anning is just a little country girl with no power or influence and no background. How could she have the confidence to defy the imperial power?
Don’t want to live anymore!
Even if you don't want to live, don't bring trouble to Jiang'an Marquis Mansion!

It seems that taking someone as a concubine requires long-term consideration.

If such a daring and outrageous troublemaker were really kept by one's side, even if he was just kept as a concubine, he might bring disaster to the Marquis Jiang'an's Mansion.

"It's not that I didn't answer it, I just didn't answer it in person."

Sheng Ji didn't know what Jiang Wei was thinking, so he just stated the facts honestly: "According to the news sent back by our people, Jiang An Ning has never shown up from beginning to end. In fact, no one in Jiang'an County can find any news about her. Even in Jiangjia Village, no trace of her can be found..."

This news reached Sheng Ji three days ago.

But the journey back and forth took a lot of time.

In fact, this news was gathered by the spies of the Marquis of Jiang'an's Mansion half a month ago.

At that time, Jiang An Ning was at Madam An's house, embroidering four double-sided screens with three different embroideries for Miss An's birthday.

Naturally, the spies in the Marquis Jiang'an Mansion could not get any information.

"No news?"

Jiang Wei frowned: "You mean, I was only away from Jiang'an County for a few days, and my control over the news from Jiang'an County was completely cut off?"

He stood up angrily and walked out.

Sheng Ji realized it belatedly and chased after him, full of fear: "Sir! What are you going to do?"

"Go back to Jiang'an County!"
-
"Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Jiang Anning looked at the man who had followed her into the inner room and had followed the rules by staying behind the curtain in silence. She suddenly felt very angry.

This man is also good at pretending!
It was obvious that he had done something strange in private, causing everything in front of her to be in chaos, but he looked innocent, as if someone had bullied him!
Is she some kind of bandit leader?

Still the boss...

Jiang An Ning became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He glared at the man and shouted, "What do you mean by not saying anything? Have I wronged you? Well, Second in Command!"

Duan Qingshan was frightened, his tongue trembled, and his face turned pale. After a long while, he came back to his senses from the shock and knelt on the ground with a plop: "My Lord, My Lord..."

He stammered and tried to explain, but his tongue seemed to be tied in a knot. He didn't know how to bite, swallow, or breathe. No sound came out at all.

"Don't do this to me again!"

Jiang Anning glared at the person unhappily, not wanting to give him any face at all.

"You said before that you wanted to have those women restrained... The people you asked were the ones outside, right?"

She glared at Duan Qingshan coldly: "This happened suddenly. If we call for help, I'm afraid it won't be quick enough."

"Besides, you told me before that these people have no identity documents, let alone a way to settle down and get a new household registration, so they can't come to the city."

"In this case, they can only rush here from outside the city..."

"Based on what you said to me in the carriage, it would be too late for us to rush here from outside the city."

Jiang Anning sneered a few times: "Then, the most reasonable and possible explanation is that these people have been in Chaohuang Embroidery Workshop from the beginning."

"Even if they are not in the embroidery workshop, they are probably somewhere nearby. When they heard your greeting, they immediately rushed over."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to take everyone down."

But since she had no household registration certificate and could not enter the city, how did she end up in Chaohuang Embroidery Workshop?
Jiang Anning was a little confused.

Duan Qingshan lowered his head and said in a low voice: "That actually didn't capture everyone..."

"Ok?"

Jiang Anning looked at the man with confusion in his eyes.

"Didn't you say before..." You were worried that those people would go out and gossip, make up stories, and ruin her reputation, so you suppressed all those women?

Duan Qingshan lowered his head even lower, not daring to look anyone in the eye.

"I am incompetent. Although I had people suppress all the women who were obviously plotting something, I still couldn't prevent the guards who followed the women and looked very sturdy and brutal."

Duan Qingshan said in a low voice with guilt: "Although I did send people to chase them at that time, Chaohuang Embroidery Workshop is located in a busy city. It only took a moment for those people to blend into the vast crowd and we could not find them anymore."

"The slaves only managed to capture one guard in the end."

"But that person committed suicide by taking poison. He didn't even give me the chance to interrogate him."

Jiang Anning was surprised: "Committed suicide by taking poison?"

She was really a little frightened.

Committing suicide by taking poison... She had only heard about this in storybooks, where a captured assassin would immediately choose to die in order to avoid being tortured, but it actually happened in reality.

Or right beside her.

Jiang Anning was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses when Duan Qingshan called out to her.

"Master? Master, are you okay? Master..."

Jiang Anning looked at the people dully, and for a moment he couldn't find his own voice.

Who did she offend?

How could someone...even arrange for death squads?
I heard that training a death warrior is extremely expensive.

Even among wealthy families, few can afford to raise one.

Only those aristocratic families with profound background and wealth that can rival a country will have enough money and ability to train death squads.

Isn't it a waste of such precious resources to use them to deal with a little country girl like her?

Judging from what Duan Qingshan said, there were more than three or two guards who escaped.

If those who escaped were also assassins like the man who was captured...they were probably no longer ordinary nobles.

For no reason, Jiang An Ning thought of the inexplicable imperial edict that came all the way from the capital.

But she really couldn't understand why she had offended such a big shot?
Could it be because she presented the Buddha worship painting through Chaohuang Embroidery Workshop?

She thought again of Xie Lan, whom she met at Madam An's house, who claimed to be a descendant of the Imperial Master's Mansion.

Jiang Anning's mind was in a mess and he was confused for a moment.

In her previous life, she was trapped in Jiang'an County and the Zhao family for most of her life and had no chance to come into contact with these things.

"I'm fine."

Jiang Anning took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "I'm just a little surprised. I can't figure out what secrets I have that would make those people behind the scenes go to such great lengths to deal with me."

"Heh... Even such a precious resource as the Death Soldiers is willing to be used on me."

I'm afraid it's not a life-and-death feud.

Duan Qingshan pursed his lips and reminded people in a low voice: "Maybe, it's not your secret, but your mother's."

He reminded them, "Do you still remember what I told you before about what the county magistrate and Madam An said?"
