Chapter 348
Mrs. An laughed and joked to herself: "Today, I will also be the turtle in the wishing well!"
The county magistrate was standing by, smiling and flattering: "Girl An Ning, good opportunities like this are rare. Madam An might regret it later. You must not let her go easily. You must make her bleed hard!"
"Don't worry, I'm here to testify for you, she won't be able to deny it!"
Jiang Anning thanked them one by one with a smile, but declined the gift of thanks.
"I don't want anything either. Madam An, you don't have to be so polite."
"I am already very grateful if you don't blame me for being nosy and meddling in other people's affairs."
"How can I ask for your gift again?"
"You really treat me as an outsider when you say that."
Madam An said, "Pah," "You are the most slick-tongued person."
She turned to the county magistrate and said, "Look at her. She is so clever. With just a few words, she has isolated me from my relatives."
"Now that I've heard what she said, I feel really disappointed."
"But she turned the tables and said that I treated her as an outsider."
"Tell me, is there anyone as unreasonable as her?"
"That was really good and bad words, and she said them all by herself!"
"I really don't know what to say."
Mrs. An said it again after a few words.
Jiang An Ning acted helpless: "How could that be? Madam An, you are exaggerating! I really don't dare to answer you!"
"When did I turn the tables?"
"You are clearly the one who is putting the blame on me again! Since you said you didn't treat me as an outsider, why do you have to keep pestering me and insist on giving me a thank-you gift?"
"Since we are as close as a family, shouldn't you help me, help you, and help each other?"
"If we are as close as family, and we still have to say thank you or not, isn't that too much against our will?"
"Don't say such things in the future!"
"If you really treat me as a family member, don't mention the word thank you again."
"Otherwise, I can only think that you are just trying to coax me."
Mrs. An was so foolish that she was dizzy and laughed.
"You are such a sharp-tongued girl!"
"I never realized before that you are such a good talker!"
Jiang Anning smiled and didn't respond.
Mrs. An was just being polite. After going around in circles for so long, it was time to get down to business.
She asked directly: "Now that we have exchanged secrets, I have told you all my most vulnerable and sad things. Shouldn't you also tell me what Wang Shang said to you?"
Jiang Anning was not surprised at Mrs. An's impatience.
She lowered her head, sipped her tea in small sips, and gathered her emotions.
"He said……"
Jiang Anning deliberately squeezed out two tears and looked very sad.
"My mother was killed by someone from the Marquis Jiang'an's mansion."
"Ok?"
Mrs. An and the county magistrate were both a little surprised.
The county magistrate said unconsciously: "Wasn't your mother..." killed by Wang Shang?
How could he be killed by someone from Marquis Jiang'an's Mansion?
The county magistrate realized that he had spoken out of turn, and quickly corrected himself: "Didn't your mother meet bandits and die unexpectedly?"
"For so many years, I just thought it was like this."
Jiang Anning sniffed, seeming to find it hard to accept this reality: "I don't even know whether I should believe what Wang Shang said."
"It's just...what he said was too convincing."
"Even now, I haven't seen him produce any evidence."
"even……"
Jiang Anning sighed: "Now that he is dead, there is no evidence."
"But I believe what he said even more."
"To be honest, I had never thought that the village chief of Jiangjia Village, who was airborne and designated by the county magistrate, was actually the young master of Marquis Jiang's mansion."
When Jiang Anning said this, his eyes fell on the county magistrate next to him.
The county magistrate panicked as the spearhead was suddenly pointed at him.
Fortunately, she had seen such scenes before, and she did not show any panic on her face, and she quickly adjusted her mood.
He looked at Jiang Anning in surprise: "What do you mean by that?"
"Could it be that Jiang Wei actually has another identity?"
"It's from the Marquis of Jiang'an's Mansion?"
Jiang Anning raised his eyebrows: "So, the county magistrate didn't know about this?"
"Then why do you want to help him and become the village chief of Jiangjia Village?"
The county magistrate was really an expert at playing dumb.
"I do not know."
"At the time, he only said that he had some connections in the capital, and he actually took out a letter of love from my immediate superior..."
He looked innocent: "Just say that even if he doesn't have any connections in the capital, a letter from my immediate superior is enough for me to arrange a villager position for him as he requested."
"Even if he didn't mention any connections in the capital, and only brought the letter of introduction from my immediate superior, let alone a small, low-ranking village position, even if he wanted a higher position, even if he wanted a position with a salary directly in the county government, then I would have to do what I can to help him, right?"
"As the saying goes, the emperor is far away."
"No matter how powerful his connections are in the capital, he may not be able to extend his influence to this small Jiang'an County!"
"There is no need to explain the principle of being out of reach. Everyone understands it."
"Even a powerful dragon would not suppress a local snake, let alone he is just a person who relies on connections?"
"But he had a handwritten letter from my immediate superior, which was a different matter."
"Even if I don't give face to anyone, I can never lose face for my immediate boss, don't you think?"
The county magistrate talked about this and that, and went around in circles, trying to cover up the matter.
"So that's it..."
Jiang Anning nodded, seeming to agree with what the county magistrate said.
The county magistrate, following Mrs. An's gaze, pretended to be confused and asked, "From what I hear from your words, it seems that your mother's death is related to Jiang Wei?"
Jiang Anning nodded.
"Didn't I just say it? This Jiang Wei is actually the young master of the Marquis Jiang'an Mansion."
She sighed: "The imperial decree summoned me to the capital this time to sew wedding clothes for Jiang Wei and Princess Shao'an."
After hearing this, not only the county magistrate, but even Mrs. An was a little frightened.
Because of this, they did not doubt what Jiang Anning said.
It also made him more certain that the words Jiang Anning said came from Wang Shang's mouth! !
Otherwise, how could Jiang Anning, a little orphan with no power or connections, find out such news?
Someone must have told her on purpose.
However, Mrs. An couldn't help but feel even more confused.
Why did Wang Shang tell Jiang Anning this?
What is the purpose?
Sowing discord? But it doesn't look like that at all...
Mrs. An suppressed her thoughts and decided not to be patient.
Let’s first see what Jiang Anning will say next, wait and see how things develop, and then use calm to control movement.
Jiang Anning sighed and started making up a story without any hesitation.
“I didn’t believe these words at all.”
"How can there be so many coincidences in this world? I just happened to be summoned to the capital by the imperial decree, and immediately a man who claimed to be the commander came and told me a lot about the capital, and even said that he wanted to go to the capital with me."
"It sounds suspicious just by listening to it!"
"Especially this person, who suddenly and without any warning, told me about the murder of my mother by the Marquis of Jiang'an Mansion."
"No matter how you look at it, it seems like he has ulterior motives."
"And it must be with bad intentions."
Jiang Anning sighed, "If this man hadn't suddenly met with an accident and died here for no apparent reason, I would have been more skeptical of what he said."
"But now that something like this has happened, I can't help but wonder if someone is secretly watching my whereabouts and knows who I have come into contact with. They are worried that I will discover the truth, so they are trying to stop me in every way."
"It is even more likely that he killed him to silence him because he failed to stop him."
"in this way……"
Jiang An Ning looked at Madam An and the county magistrate: "It seems that what he said is somewhat true."
Mrs. An and the county magistrate looked at each other and both had the same doubt.
only--
"But there is still one thing that I can't figure out."
Madam An and the county magistrate both raised their heads and looked over.
"Is that why Wang Shang suddenly told me this?"
"It can't be that it's just out of kindness."
Not to mention Jiang An Ning getting better, even Mrs. An was very curious at this moment.
He also wanted to know why Wang Shang suddenly and proactively exposed the truth about Sang Jingwan's murder to Jiang Anning.
But it seems that he didn't tell the truth.
Instead, he made up a seemingly plausible truth.
All the charges that should have been attributed to him were quietly transferred to the Jiang'an Marquis Mansion.
It just so happens that...it won't be long before Jiang An Ning will go to the Jiang An Marquis Mansion in Beijing.
If you want to sew wedding clothes for the young master of Marquis Jiang's Mansion, you will most likely have to live in Marquis Jiang'an's Mansion.
Although the official wedding date has not been announced yet, since the wedding is held with such a grand ceremony and an embroiderer has been invited to come to Beijing, I think she will have to live in the mansion of Marquis Jiang'an for at least half a year.
It was during this period that Wang Shang suddenly started talking about the feud between the Jiang Marquis Mansion and Sang Jingwan without any context.
And every word he said was true.
It's just that while telling the truth, it erases the cause and effect and disrupts the order.
So what they said is indeed true, and it is indeed what happened.
But after Wang Shang disrupted and reassembled them, it became a big lie that seemed real but not real.
Wang Shang...what exactly does he want to do?
Mrs. An even suspected that Wang Shang's death was not an accident.
But he set the trap himself.
But if that is true, then who is playing the chess game?
Is it Wang Shang himself?
Or...the person behind Wang Shang?
If the person who arranged Wang Shang's death was the person behind Wang Shang.
So what exactly is he going to do?
If the person who arranged Wang Shang's death was not the person behind Wang Shang...I'm afraid this matter would be even more complicated.
Who is this third party that suddenly joins in?
Be it the enemy camp, or the powerful families, or the infighting in the court... It seems that no matter which one it is, being used to do something with someone else is not a good thing.
Or someone else?
Jiang'an Marquis Mansion?
The Sang family?
Or——The Imperial Master’s Mansion?
It seems unlikely that any of them would have anything to do with this matter.
It also makes absolutely no sense.
Or maybe - Mrs. An looked up at Jiang Anning who was sitting opposite her drinking tea.
Could it be that the person in front of them was directing and acting out this drama himself, deliberately saying things that didn't exist at all to mislead them?
Therefore, the most important thing is to find out the cause of Wang Shang’s death as soon as possible.
Only by starting from this can we deduce the original situation of things as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I will really be led by the nose.
-
The Sang family.
After a period of cold war, the members of the Sang clan believed that they had achieved the calmness and peace that the high priest had mentioned.
So he came to the door in a threatening manner.
then……
Not surprisingly, I was turned away.
The Great Elder looked back at the people who had followed him and said, "You all don't want to continue wasting time like this, do you?"
"There has to be an explanation for what happened!"
"Even if we really have to choose one of us to die in place of Sang Jingwan's daughter, we should at least die with a clear conscience, right?"
"You can't just go there without thinking!"
"What's more, we can't find Sang Jingwan's daughter right now. We have to rely on the high priest for everything!"
"Or, who among you can find the two Nanshan brothers?"
"Even if they find him, will he be willing to reveal the news about Sang Jingwan's daughter? Don't forget, it was you who forced him to leave the clan!"
The second elder and others were scolded harshly, especially in front of the high priest's room.
They didn't need to think too much to be sure that the high priest in the room must have heard everything the great elder had just said.
Isn't this embarrassing for them?
Everyone looked unhappy.
But I have to admit that what the Great Elder said makes sense.
Yes, they had thought about contacting the brothers Sang Nanshan and Sang Donghai.
But even Sang Nanshan and Sang Donghai's parents had no idea where they had gone.
The two of them were originally driven out of the Sang family!
Moreover, they had done things ruthlessly at the time and did not allow Sang Nanshan and Sang Donghai's parents to provide them with any help or assistance.
All we know is that the two of them were taken away by people from Jiang Anhou Mansion.
After that they knew nothing.
No one knows where the man from Jiang'an Marquis Mansion went.
All I know is that recently, the young master of Marquis Jiang's Mansion, who had been away from home for many years, returned to the capital not long ago to prepare for his wedding.
But the capital is so big that finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Especially an aimless search like theirs.
Not to mention, after what happened to Sang Jingwan before, they didn't dare to do anything big in the capital.
Otherwise, if the people in Jiang'an Marquis' Mansion knew about it, who knows what kind of disaster would happen.
Not only would you not be able to find the person, but you might even lose your life.
That's not worth the trouble.
