After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 645 About Those Men and Women
After hearing the news, Hai Jiao looked at Jin Jiashu and said in surprise, "Captain Kan is still thinking about revenge on his wife and her adulterer. Is he so indifferent to the punishment he will receive?"

Tu Jinbao said hurriedly, "How could that be? Of course he cares. But hasn't the punishment from above come down? With me here, how can he really suffer a big loss? Since he knows that he is going back to his hometown, his life is safe, and his future is not completely hopeless, he will naturally feel at ease. Once he feels at ease, won't he care about the fate of the two culprits?"

Tu Jinbao still stood on Kan Jinbao's side. No matter what the latter said or did, he would try his best to speak well of him. He now had a strong impression of Kan Jinbao and felt that it was reasonable for him to hate his enemy, so he helped him to find out relevant information. When Kan Jinbao asked, he told him what he knew.

Kan Jinbao's wife had not received the divorce letter, nor had she been imprisoned. Normally, she should have returned home and absconded with the money, or at least hidden some private money for herself to prepare for her living expenses after being divorced. However, she was very unlucky. Just after returning home, before she had time to pack her luggage, her lover "Wang Lang"'s first wife Yao came to her door with people.

No one could tell how Yao got the news and brought people to the door so quickly. But she unceremoniously ordered the maids to beat Kan Jinbao's wife half to death and smashed the house. Kan Jinbao's wife was seriously injured and could not move. She could not run away and could only stay at home to recuperate. As a result of this delay, Kan Jinbao's relatives and acquaintances arrived and detained her, so she could no longer take her belongings and leave.

Tu Jinbao sighed and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Kan had relatives and friends in Chang'an. Unfortunately, they are not high-ranking officials and can't help Brother Kan. They can only detain that bitch and prevent her from emptying Brother Kan's house."

Haijiao glanced at him and said nothing. He thought, if Kan Jinbao didn't have this connection, how could he dare to abandon his family and career and come to Chang'an to seek a future? Could he really count on the "friend Wang Lang" he met by chance? Don't underestimate Tu Jinbao because he has a low official position. After Kan Jinbao was arrested, he was arranged to Gaotai, which is not far from his hometown, and his future boss is an old acquaintance of his parents. These connections are indispensable. Tu Jinbao thought that his few words of pleas would really make his father Tu Rong arrange such meticulous and thoughtful things for Kan Jinbao? That was clearly the credit of the Kan family's connections!

Jin Jiashu also guessed a little bit, and from Hai Jiao's expression, he guessed a little more. The Hai family and the Kan family were old acquaintances. The Hai family had a wide network of contacts in Chang'an, and they had acquaintances in Ganzhou, Suzhou, and Guazhou. How could the Kan family not have any? The military families of the Northwest Frontier Army would also meet many comrades and friends as their children were transferred to different border towns and garrisons. The huge network of contacts formed by this was not something that a young man who grew up in the countryside of Zhili and had limited knowledge of the Northwest could imagine.

Jin Jiashu asked Tu Jinbao: "What about Captain Kan's wife now? Captain Kan said he wanted to divorce her, right?"

Tu Jinbao nodded: "Brother Kan said he wanted to divorce his wife, but he was a little unwilling to do so. He felt that if the woman was really divorced, she might be able to live with the adulterer forever. Even without the adulterer, she would have other men. He felt angry just thinking about it, so the divorce letter was never sent out. But I have inquired for him, and the adulterer did not have a good ending. The bitch kicked him out a long time ago and did not want to continue to be involved with him!"

Although the adulterer had already torn each other apart on the day they were caught, Tu Jinbao was really worried that they would forget about their past conflicts and live happily on their own, which would make Kan Jinbao, the victim, angry to death. Therefore, he specially asked someone to inquire about it, and found out that the adulterer's wife, Yao, had a prominent family background. Since that day, he went to Kan's house and beat Kan Jinbao's wife, smashed the house, and then turned around and didn't even go home, but went directly to her parents' home to cry to her parents and brothers.

She had only one request, which was to divorce her husband because she couldn't afford to lose face in this relationship!

The Yao family was very opposed to her divorce at first, after all, it was not pleasant to say, but at the same time they were also very angry that their son-in-law had an affair with someone, causing such a big scandal and bringing shame to the Yao family. But not long after, Tu Rong found the Yao family father and son and told them that the reason why Kan Jinbao went to the tea shop to catch the adulterer was that the message he received was actually sent by Yao. Yao's purpose was just to expose the scandal and make her husband and mistress lose face, but she still hoped that her husband would come home. She didn't find out about Kan Jinbao's temperament in advance, so she thought she could get it right. Who would have thought that Kan Jinbao was so impulsive? If there were no masters among the people who were traveling with him to stop him from committing the crime in time, I'm afraid that Kan Jinbao's wife and Yao's husband would be in danger of their lives, and even the guys in the tea shop would lose their lives. The Yao family knew they were in the wrong and promised Tu Rong that they would never support their son-in-law again. When they returned home, Yao heard that Kan Jinbao's wife had let slip twice that her lover was not only having an affair with her, but also had several other lovers, all of whom were wives and concubines of border generals. If the news came out, too many people would be offended. The Yao family was clearly the victim, so why were they dragged into such a scandal by their son-in-law?

The father and son of the Yao family no longer opposed Yao's divorce from her husband, and even went to the government to quickly complete the divorce procedures, fearing that if they waited one more day, they would be pestered by their ex-son-in-law. Wang Lang was still recovering at home, hoping that his wife's family would help him. In the blink of an eye, his wife was gone, and her child was taken back to her parents' home. Although his fifth-rank military position was not demoted, his superiors quickly issued a transfer order to transfer him to a remote frontier garrison. The most terrifying thing was that the commander of the garrison was one of her husbands.

He hurried to contact his lover, but failed to see her. He only learned that after she fell ill, she was sent back to her parents' home, and then her parents sent her to a farm in the mountains to recuperate. Even her trusted maid was sent away, and her children were sent to stay with relatives in Xianyang. He wanted to find out the inside story but couldn't find anyone. He could only return home in panic, wondering if his affair with his lover had been exposed, and whether he would be retaliated by his lover's ex-husband after arriving at the new guard post?

I heard that the man is notoriously bad-tempered and won't tolerate any injustice.

What's worse is that if he really wants to go to that garrison, several of the garrisons along the way are where other husbands he loves are stationed. It is still unknown whether he can reach the destination alive!

Tu Jinbao told Kan Jinbao the news he had heard, but the latter was still a little dissatisfied: "What is this? He is actually a fifth-rank official?!" If he could not hear the news that the adulterer suffered and lost his life, the anger in his heart would never subside.

However, the adulterer was transferred to a remote border town and could no longer be with his former lovers. Kan Jinbao finally made up his mind to divorce his wife. Today, the divorce letter was sent to the Kan family. An old acquaintance of the Kan family watched Kan Jinbao's ex-wife pack her luggage to ensure that she only took her own clothes and bedding, but could not take away any property that should belong to the Kan family.

When Kan Jinbao came out of prison and prepared to go to Gaotai, he had to pack up his house in Chang'an and all the furniture and belongings in the house. He then set off alone, taking only a change of clothes and valuables.

The end of the year was approaching, but the migration order would not wait for anyone. This winter, he was afraid that he would have to embark on a long journey to Gaotai alone.
