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

Chapter 345

When these words were spoken, both Mrs. An and the county magistrate looked at him in shock.

Then they looked at each other, their expressions becoming a little serious.

Jiang Anning seemed unaware and continued in a steady voice, "I was shocked, but at the same time I was wondering if what the commander wanted to tell me was related to my mother?"

"Thinking of this, I didn't care about any other worries and hurried over."

Mrs. An frowned even more tightly.

"Your mother's relic? Wang Shang gave it to you?"

What exactly is Wang Shang up to?

Jiang Anning nodded without any psychological burden. After all, Wang Shang was already dead.

There is no evidence since she is dead. It is impossible for her to suddenly come back to life and refute the nonsense she said, right?
Jiang Anning was very confident at this moment: "If it weren't for my late mother's belongings, I don't think I would have dared to come to accept the appointment."

"This thing is really too precious to me."

"Even if it's a Hongmen Banquet, I will come here without blinking an eye."

"As long as I can get back my mother's relics, I think it's worth it."

Madam An frowned: "What secret did Wang Shang tell you in the end?"

Could it be that he betrayed her?
Jiang An Ning looked at Madam An, then at the county magistrate, and hesitated for a long time before she pursed her lips and said, "He told me... the truth about my mother's murder!"

Hearing these words, Mrs. An felt inexplicably relieved.

If we just talk about the cause of Sang Jingwan's death, there is nothing to worry about.

It’s just—why did Wang Shang and Jiang An Ning bring up this out of the blue?
If Jiang An Ning knew all this, would they have to fight to the death?

Wang Shang...what on earth is he thinking about?
Madam An had many doubts in her mind, but Wang Shang was dead. No matter how much she wanted to find someone to solve her doubts, it was doomed to be unsolved.

After all, the person is dead and there is no evidence. Who can she ask?

At most, I would ask Jiang Anning...

Mrs. An's eyes fell on Jiang An Ning. She was still a little skeptical about what she said.

After all, a death without any evidence is enough to make her doubt everything.

But even though she had doubts, she had to keep asking.

"The truth behind your mother's murder?"

Madam An pretended to be surprised: "I heard before that your mother... met with bandits on the road and died unexpectedly, didn't she?"

She did this for another reason.

What exactly was the reason for Sang Jingwan's death... They had talked about it before in the backyard of Chaohuang Embroidery Workshop.

At that time, no one was shy about referring to the farmhand next to Jiang Anning.

She said this now, pretending to be surprised, because she wanted to know whether the farmhand had told Jiang An Ning about this matter.

If not -

Mrs. An felt that this person might be used as a breakthrough.

Find his weakness, turn him against you, and use him to monitor Jiang Anning's every move.

Of course, there is no need to be too anxious about this matter.

It still depends on who Jiang Anning plans to take with him to the capital.
Will you take this farmhand with you?

If you don't bring it, then there is really no need to instigate rebellion.

Jiang Anning was a little surprised when she saw Mrs. An acting.

It also seems to be reasonable.

I don't think Mrs. An knew that when they were talking about the real cause of her mother's death in the backyard of Chaohuang Embroidery Workshop that day, she must have heard everything they said clearly in the clinic opposite.

Don’t even mention knowing…I’m afraid I don’t even dare to think about it.

It's so far away, only someone with clairaudience can hear it.

However, they did not avoid mentioning Duan Qingshan when they said this.

But now she is pretending to know nothing... Does she think Duan Qingshan won't tell her after hearing those words?

Jiang An Ning's lips curled slightly: "From what Madam An said, it seems that you don't know the truth about my mother's murder?"

"What do you mean?"

Mrs. An was really getting nervous. Could it be that Wang Shang had said something to Jiang An Ning in private?
Could it be that he betrayed Jiang Anning in order to gain her trust?

Or is it putting all the blame on her?

Mrs. An narrowed her eyes.

Did Wang Shang suddenly do this out of his own will, or was there someone behind the scenes instructing him?

It was really hard for Mrs. An not to suspect that the person behind Wang Shang had come up with some bad idea again.

Your heart is hard to predict; living with you is like living with a tiger.

Faced with such an unpredictable monarch, it is indeed hard to say whether this bastard will do something shocking and despicable again.

Especially...Wang Shang is dead now!!

Death means that there is no evidence for anything.

Not only did she have no way to find out what Wang Shang had said, she also had no way to find out at all.

It is even more impossible to judge whether what Jiang Anning said is true or false.

If Jiang Anning really knew the truth about Sang Jingwan's murder, because of Wang Shang's death, there is no way to judge where Jiang Anning got the truth from.

Only then did Mrs. An truly realize how much trouble Wang Shang's sudden and inexplicable death would bring her.

She now even suspects that Wang Shang's death was premeditated.

Could it be that her meeting with Jiang An Ning now was also part of the conspiracy?

Jiang An Ning also suddenly realized that Wang Shang's sudden death was such a coincidence to her.

She could now follow the same method she used to deceive Wang Shang before and use it to break down the psychological defenses of Madam An and the others.

The county magistrate stood aside, drinking tea in silence.

He actually didn't quite understand why Mrs. An suddenly did this.

Sow discord?

Jiang Anning began to wonder if the farmhand named Duan Qingshan was a secret agent who could be bribed?

Or does he want to take this opportunity to set a trap for the master and servant?
The county magistrate couldn't figure it out.

He felt that Madam An had made an unwise move, especially now that Wang Shang was dead...

That means that no matter what Jiang Anning says, they will not be able to tell whether it is true or false.

If Jiang Anning told Wang Shang what he said to her, should they deny it or find it unbelievable?

After all, there is no evidence now.

He remained silent and drank his tea quietly.

I want to continue watching the confrontation between these two.

The county magistrate had a good idea. If he couldn't rely on Mrs. An's relationship to make his official career smoother, then it would be fine for him to just stay in this small place and live a stable life.

After all, he knows his own weight.

Even if we really take it a step further, we may not be able to cope with it.

Now, he just doesn't want to give up the opportunity in front of him.

If I can't follow Mrs. An, it would be good to follow Jiang An Ning.

Jiang Anning was summoned to the capital by imperial decree!

Who knows what kind of treatment will be given in the future?
If no one mentioned it, the emperor would never have thought that in a remote place like Jiang'an County, there was such a talented embroiderer.

Who knows if there is some noble person behind Jiang Anning?

As far as he knew, Jiang Anning's mother was not an ordinary person.

It was because of Jiang Anning’s mother, Jiang Wei, Wang Shang, and Mrs. An that they came to their small Jiang’an County.

Although, Jiang Anning's mother was killed by Wang Shang.

And what Wang Shang did was most likely what that person asked him to do.

But, since the other party only killed Jiang Anning's parents and did not completely eliminate the root of the problem and instead sent so many people to stare at Jiang Anning, who can say that it was not because that person had other intentions?

The county magistrate felt that the prerequisite for staying alive and living well was not to offend either side.

If you really stand on either side, who knows, you may end up choosing the wrong side and fail?
Jiang An Ning smiled, glanced at the county magistrate, and then looked at Madam An: "My mother was killed by someone, Madam An, don't you know?"

Mrs. An picked up the teacup and drank tea to hide her panic, while she was also thinking nervously.

What does Jiang Anning mean by this?
Test?

Could it be that Wang Shang really said something to her?
Or, Jiang An Ning also thought that Wang Shang was already dead and there was no evidence, so she could just drag him into this and use the opportunity to deceive him... In reality, he just wanted to trick some information out of her?

Or maybe, did Duan Qingshan say something to her?
But, did she really believe what the farmhand said instead of suspecting that he was talking nonsense?
Mrs. An was a little at a loss at this time.

She didn't know whether she should continue to pretend that she knew nothing and falsely accuse the farmhand of sowing discord, or frankly admit that she did know the cause of Jiang Anning's mother's death, but was unable to tell the truth because of Wang Shang's coercion.

Yes, Jiang Anning could take advantage of Wang Shang’s death and the loophole of no evidence given after death, so why couldn’t she?
But...how should I choose?
Mrs. An was in a dilemma.

Jiang Anning is very patient.

She drank her tea slowly, as if deliberately giving people time to think.

Mrs. An weighed the issue for a long time and finally made a decision in her heart.

"I did hear some gossip."

Mrs. An smiled bitterly: "But I really don't know whether I should believe such unfounded words."

"What's more, many people know about your mother's death. She met bandits on her way home and unfortunately died."

"So, even if I heard some words, I can only pretend that I didn't hear anything."

Madam An looked at Jiang An Ning: "Now that you ask this, what have you confirmed?"

Jiang Anning felt that Mrs. An's answer was both unexpected and reasonable.

She curled her lips in an ambiguous way: "I did hear some gossip."

"Like Madam An, I don't know whether these words are true or not, and I don't dare to believe them easily."

Mrs. An said "oh", raised her eyebrows, and asked tentatively: "I wonder what kind of words they are?"

She glanced at the county magistrate: "It just so happens that the county magistrate is here too. He was the one who handled your parents' case back then. Why don't we work together to think about these words and see how much of them are true and how much are false?"

"If there really is something else going on, as a child, you can't just turn a blind eye to it for so many years."

"If you have the chance, I think you would also like to take revenge, right?"

The county magistrate frowned slightly.

He was somewhat unhappy with Mrs. An's behavior of shifting the blame onto him.

But now that the words have been spoken, if he doesn't respond, I'm afraid it won't be that convenient to do anything else later.

After thinking for a while, he put down the teacup and said frankly: "Yes, I still remember this incident very well."

"This was especially true since it was the first major case I took on after taking office. I was so focused on it that I spent several days and nights working on it. I didn't dare to slack off for fear that something might go wrong."

“I should even say it’s quite impressive!”

The county magistrate put on a amiable expression and said, "Why don't you tell me what you know?"

"I can help you analyze the files and see if these words are groundless or not."

"You don't have to worry. The case was handled very carefully back then. Even if it was just some hearsay, it was all recorded in the file, just to make it easier for people to look it up later. Maybe what you heard was just one of them?" He persuaded patiently, while leaving some room for fallback.

Jiang An Ning looked at the county magistrate, then at Madam An, and a trace of sadness quickly appeared between his eyebrows: "Even if these words are really confirmed, what can we do if they are true?"

"Those words, implicitly and implicitly, point to the murderer, who is no longer someone I can contend with."

Mrs. An glanced at the county magistrate, and the county magistrate also looked at Mrs. An, and their hearts began to become a little nervous.

They all thought of that person at the same time - the biggest mastermind behind this incident.

"From what you said, it seems that the person who harmed your mother is of some status?"

Following Mrs. An's gaze, the county magistrate asked tentatively.

He and Mrs. An both had a suspicion, wondering if Jiang An Ning was trying to threaten them with words?
I want to see them lose their composure and even blame each other.

Finally, she lightly said something and put all the blame on Wang Shang.

Anyway, Wang Shang is dead now.

Even if the death was unclear, at least there is no evidence!
Jiang Anning sighed, as if he had some concerns. He hesitated, not knowing how to say it, whether he could say it, or whether he should say it.
"But there are only three of us here, and we are old acquaintances. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Are we going to betray you?"

Mrs. An patted the man's hand and said, "Don't worry. I will make sure no rumors will spread out after we leave this room."

She said, "I don't want to pry into your secrets, but I think that if the three of us discuss it more, it will be easier to get to the bottom of the truth, right?"

"It's not that I don't trust Madam An and the county magistrate."

Jiang Anning sighed slightly and joined in the show with the two of them.

"I just don't know, if I really say this, will it cause trouble for the two of you?"
