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

Chapter 245 Catch Jiang Anning's Handle
Jiang Anning was slightly stunned when he heard this, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Duan Qingshan hesitated for a moment, then said boldly: "Actually, I have always been confused."

Jiang Anning said "Hmm?", looked up at him with a puzzled look on her face.

"That day, the three of them talked together, which should be shameful."

"At least it shouldn't be in front of me..."

"But not only did they say it to my face, they also pretended to give me hush money, as if they were afraid that I wouldn't keep it a secret and take it seriously."

Duan Qingshan pursed his lips and said, "People like them should know better that the only ones who can really keep secrets are the dead."

"How could they be so confident that I was really bought by them just because they gave me some gold and silver?"

"Even afterwards, there was absolutely no attempt to kill anyone to silence them."

Jiang Anning frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

"They know that the slaves are loyal to you."

"Perhaps you have guessed it. I will tell you everything I heard them say that day, word for word."

Duan Qingshan curled his fingers slightly and said, "Perhaps, letting you know is their ultimate goal."

Jiang Anning frowned even more tightly.

"If your speculation is true, then what are they trying to do?"

Letting her know the truth about A Niang's death, what else can it do except arouse her hatred and make her want to avenge A Niang and kill her enemy?
But...they were the ones who killed her mother!
Is there some conspiracy behind this?
Jiang Anning couldn't figure out the reason, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

No matter what conspiracy or calculations those behind the scenes have, sooner or later, it will be exposed.

You can't hide it forever, right?
Kill her?
Feel free to come.

She had already died once, and it was a blessing that she lived so much longer in this life.

There is nothing to be dissatisfied about.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

Jiang Anning adjusted her mindset and stopped worrying. She turned to ask Duan Qingshan, "What did those women confess?"

"They said that they were from a poor family living in the north of the city. They couldn't make ends meet. The men in the family didn't take care of things. All they did all day was drink and play tricks on them, or beat them up, forcing them to go out and make money, or even forcing them..."

Duan Qingshan felt sorry for it, but he couldn't bring himself to say the dirty thing.

"Zhao Jiang found them and promised to give each of them fifty taels of silver. He asked them to pretend to be noble ladies who came to buy embroidery and help him catch the adulterer in bed!"

When Duan Qingshan talked about "catching an adulterer in bed", he gnashed his teeth in hatred.

He really didn't dare to think about what would happen if he hadn't accidentally discovered Zhao Jiang who had sneaked in in time, and if Jiang Anning came back exhausted.

Jiang Anning, on the contrary, was much calmer.

"Fifty taels per person? That's really generous."

"Have you asked Zhao Jiang? Where does he get the money?"

Duan Qingshan was silent, looking at Jiang Anning hesitantly as if he wanted to say something.

"What are you looking at me for? I'm asking you a question."

Jiang Anning frowned. She really didn't like the way Duan Qingshan always remained silent.

Duan Qingshan sensed people's displeasure, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice, "Those women said that they also suspected that Zhao Jiang was exaggerating, and asked him to take out the money first."

"But Zhao Jiang didn't agree, and acted as if they could believe it or not, and do it or not."

"They also said they don't want to do it, but there are plenty of people who are willing to do it."

"Don't let them wait until he finds someone else before regretting and begging him. 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' food, drink and entertainment, they will inevitably be beaten and kicked, and even have no food to eat."

"I was worried that I would miss this opportunity and be beaten, scolded and starved when I returned, so I thought I might as well give it a try. He turned out to be a liar. They didn't lose anything. It was just a few words."

Duan Qingshan paused: "Zhao Jiang also told those women..."

Jiang Anning frowned.

Why does this man always avoid the subject?
What she was asking was clearly where Zhao Jiang got so much money.

What she wanted to know was who was behind Zhao Jiang's actions and who provided him with the funds.

It couldn't be that Zhao Jiang suddenly made a fortune and spent a lot of money to come here to take revenge on her, right?
"What did Zhao Jiang say to those women?"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Jiang Anning's voice.

"Tell me..." Duan Qingshan didn't dare to hide anything anymore, his face flushed with anger: "Tell my lord that you are a famous embroiderer in Jiang'an County, and even His Majesty has issued an edict to certify you. How could she be short of money? By then, let alone fifty taels, even five hundred taels...she can afford it."

Duan Qingshan's voice became lower and lower.

Jiang Anning was stunned for a moment.

She realized belatedly that what Duan Qingshan meant was that Zhao Jiang had no money at all and was planning to ruin her reputation, force her to marry him, and then seize her money as payment to the murderers who conspired with him to ruin her reputation.

Ha ha ha ha!!
What a good plan!
What a good plan!!
The Zhao family is great!
Jiang Anning took a deep breath, unwilling to waste too much emotion on a species like Zhao Jiang.

"Where's Zhao Jiang?"

She asked Duan Qingshan in a calm voice.

Duan Qingshan couldn't help but carefully peek at people's faces.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Jiang Anning glanced over with a cold look, scaring the man so much that he shuddered all over and lowered his head.

Feeling the gazes on his head, he hurriedly said, "I was worried that those who escaped would come back, so I secretly rescued Zhao Jiang, put him in a sack, and threw him into the dry well in the deserted yard next door."

Duan Qingshan said cautiously, almost biting his tongue: "I went to accompany Zhao Yinlian."

After saying that, he fell to his knees with a thud: "Yes, I'm sorry, I acted on my own again."

He suddenly felt a sense of panic.

I secretly regretted why I always made the same mistake over and over again, knowingly committing it.

Jiang Anning glanced at the man, not understanding what was going on with this masochist.

She said calmly, "You did a great job."

"Since he has been thrown into the dry well in the deserted courtyard, just ignore him for now."

"Let them have a good reunion, so that they won't become estranged from each other in the underworld."

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 replied respectfully: "The well mouth was sealed with stone slabs, leaving only a gap that allowed a little light to penetrate."

"Now, unless he has the ability to burrow underground, he will not be able to escape."

Jiang Anning nodded, thought about it, and decided to deal with Zhao Jiang as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.

The people under Duan Qingshan's command, after all, are just farmers who have fled from famine, and they probably don't even know how to fight.

If he really encountered a assassin who wanted to rescue someone, he would not be able to withstand even one move from the assassin and would lose his life in vain. "I'll go over to see Zhao Jiang."

Jiang Anning was about to go out when he suddenly stopped and looked at the people and asked, "Does the kitchen prepare anything for dinner today?"

She looked outside the door: "Have they all eaten?"

"I cooked noodles in the evening and boiled a pot of stewed eggplant and meat."

Duan Qingshan replied respectfully: "I ate them all, one by one, and I am grateful to you in my heart!"

Jiang Anning said "hmm".

Duan Qingshan seemed to have suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead, "Oh, right, this afternoon, not long after you left, someone from Jiangjia Village came over and said they wanted to send you some freshly picked mushrooms. They were all fresh, and they didn't know when you would be back, so they sent some over."

"From Jiangjia Village?"

Hearing the three words "Jiangjia Village", Jiang Anning frowned instinctively, and a sense of disgust rose in his heart for no reason.

"Yes, from Jiangjia Village..." Duan Qingshan saw that the person looked unhappy, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed again. He subconsciously stood up straight: "She said she was your neighbor, and that you would know who she was as soon as you heard Aunt Fang. I heard her speak kindly and seemed to be very familiar with you. I also checked the mushrooms and they are indeed edible."

After Duan Qingshan explained a few words, he stopped talking in annoyance and looked at people timidly in a low voice: "Did I do something wrong again?"

Jiang Anning's expression relaxed a little only after she heard it was "Aunt Fang".

"Is it Aunt Fang?"

She smiled slightly: "If it's Aunt Fang, then it's okay."

Duan Qingshan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He just explained more carefully: "I think he looks familiar. I saw him when those people from Jiangjia Village came to visit last time."

At that time, Jiang Anning seemed to have indeed called someone Aunt Fang, and it seemed that they had a very good relationship.

Since the general information matched, Duan Qingshan took the initiative to let people leave the things behind.

He breathed a sigh of relief: "Originally, I told her to wait for you to come back and give you the things in person."

"It's just that she seemed to have something urgent to do. After putting her things down, she left in a hurry."

Jiang Anning just said "hmm" and said nothing more.

She walked towards the kitchen and asked, "Are there any seasoning ingredients like chili or ginger?"

"some."

Jiang Anning originally thought of bringing some freshly fried peppers over.

But out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of half a basket of mushrooms next to me.

After pondering for a moment, she gave up the idea of ​​frying chili oil which would choke her eyes, and turned over and carefully picked up the few mushrooms of a certain kind in the basket with a handkerchief.

"Let's go."

Duan Qingshan, who was looking for chili peppers, was a little stunned: "Master?"

Not looking for chili peppers anymore?

Jiang Anning smiled and said, "I think I have found something more useful and interesting than chili peppers."

Duan Qingshan looked confused.

Jiang Anning had no intention of explaining.

A deserted yard and a dry well.

After Zhao Jiang was thrown down, his left foot began to hurt badly. He didn't know if it was broken.

But he shouted here for a long time and no one responded.

At this moment, my voice has become hoarse from shouting.

After a lot of effort, he heard some noises and felt the light above his head gradually increase. He looked up with surprise in his eyes: "Is there anyone there? Help! Help!"

"As long as you rescue me, I will let the emperor decree to appoint Jiang'an County's number one embroiderer to give you money, lots of money, to buy you a house and land. Save me, save me..."

Zhao Jiang spoke in a hoarse voice, and blurted out what he thought were the best conditions, hoping that the other party would rescue him.

The stone slab that was pressing on the dry well was completely removed. Jiang Anning couldn't help laughing when she heard what Zhao Jiang said.

When Zhao Jiang heard the familiar voice, he squinted his eyes and looked up to see clearly who was above his head.

"Jiang Anning?"

He felt a little panicked for no reason, but soon he regained his confidence.

"Why are you here? Hurry up and pull me up!"

Zhao Jiang was very bossy and ordered Jiang Anning to rescue him immediately.

It was as if Jiang Anning was still the daughter-in-law in their family whose fate as a slave had already been arranged before she even entered the family.

He ordered without any politeness: "Then prepare a table of good wine and good food for me."

"I've been in big trouble today."

"You have to eat something good to replenish your body."

He totally doesn't understand his situation.

Jiang An Ning said coldly, "It seems that you, the Zhao family, really treat me like a beast of burden."

"Even though you've fallen to this point, you can still say such things so confidently... It shows that, to this day, these people in your Zhao family don't feel that they have done anything wrong, let alone feel the slightest bit of guilt."

Zhao Jiang was stunned, then angrily asked, "Why should we feel guilty?"

"If anyone should apologize, it should be you, a bitch!"

"Originally, our family was living a good life, enjoying delicious food and drinks every day, and being carefree. It was because of you, a vicious woman, who caused trouble and ignored our relatives that our family was torn apart!"

He sneered a few times: "Now I am still willing to use you, that is to give you a chance to save yourself."

"It's for you to atone for your sins!"

"Don't be so shameless. You're taking advantage of me and still acting like a good kid."

Zhao Jiang shouted angrily: "Hurry up and pull me up."

"If you serve me well and make me happy, maybe I can allow you to enter my Zhao family and continue to be the eldest son and daughter-in-law of my Zhao family, and the wife of the clan that can be recorded in my Zhao family tree in the future. Otherwise... a vicious woman like you, I'm afraid no one in the whole Dajing would dare to marry you, right?"

Jiang Anning:...

She was silent for a long time.

Suddenly, I felt some sympathy for no reason.

It is really hard for those who met and interacted with such a brainless species to live to such an old age.

What's the difference between talking and communicating with this kind of person and going through a tribulation?
She did not respond to Zhao Jiang's words. Firstly, she did not want to be led by the nose, and secondly... she really had nothing to say.

"Do you know whose body is that at the bottom of the well with you?"

Jiang Anning suddenly asked.

Zhao Jiang was stunned for a moment, then burst into a maniacal laugh: "Ahahaha, Jiang Anning, I've caught you!"
