Chapter 27 Jiang Wei’s Wrath

Mrs. Jiang Wang wanted to say that she couldn't blame others for this matter. It was already pitiful for the little girl to have no father and mother, but she ended up meeting a Zhongshan wolf when they were planning to get married...

Not to mention just going to sue the officials to seek justice, it is not an exaggeration to even take a kitchen knife and chop down the young and old Zhao family who sucked human blood.

But thinking that her granddaughter's good marriage was ruined for no reason, Mrs. Jiang and Wang couldn't say anything.

She sighed and swallowed all her troubles.

Patriarch Jiang was still complaining, and Mrs. Jiang pretended not to hear, and silently went into the kitchen to prepare dinner for the whole family.

Jiang Wei hurried back to the village, passing through the house without stopping, and headed straight to Jiang Anning's house.

Aunt Fang had just walked out of the backyard of Jiang Anning's house when she heard the sound of horse hooves. She panicked and leaned against the door panel of Jiang Anning's house, trembling as she turned around.

When she saw that the person coming was Jiang Wei, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's Muramasa..."

With such a big movement just now, she thought it was horse bandits coming down the mountain.

Aunt Fang's heart dropped, and she couldn't help but become confused again: Is Jiang Wei, an outsider, so rich? I can actually afford a horse...

He is not usually seen engaged in agricultural production, nor is he heard of people going out to work. He is not even seen doing small business.

Is it possible that the village leader appointed by the county magistrate still gets wages?

Jiang Wei glanced at Aunt Fang, and his eyes fell on the oil-stained bowl in her hand.

"Why is Aunt Fang here?"

He turned over and dismounted, loosened the reins casually, and let the horse run away on its own.

Aunt Fang opened her mouth anxiously: "Your horse ran away!"

With that said, she was about to go up and help people chase it back.

Jiang Wei smiled and said in an easy-going tone: "It's okay. It ate and drank enough outside and will come back on its own."

He glanced at the door of Jiang Anning's house and asked Aunt Fang again: "Why is Auntie at sister Anning's house?"

As the horse ran away, Aunt Fang's nervous and worried eyes drifted away, and she slowly came back to the cage: "Me? Isn't this because the girl An Ning has lost her health, so come here and give her a bowl of chicken soup to replenish her health."

She snarled with a smile: "The old hen at home has stopped laying eggs since last month. It happens that the children at home are also hungry for meat, so I might as well kill them."

Aunt Fang shook the empty bowl in her hand to show others.

Jiang Wei frowned slightly.

Jiang Anning is at home?
"So that's it. Aunt Fang is taking care of her, so I feel relieved. Originally, I was worried that Miss An Ning didn't have anyone to take care of her at home, so I wanted to come over and take a look."

Aunt Fang blinked.

Tranquility... doesn't seem to be at home.

However, Jiang Wei seems to be just worried about whether An Ning has anyone to look after him?
She figured out the order and quickly agreed with a smile: "Don't worry, I will come to see An Ning when I am free."

Jiang Wei always felt that something was not right.

But he could feel Aunt Fang's slightly probing eyes on him, which might lead to misunderstanding that he had ulterior motives. He was even more worried that paying too much attention to Jiang Anning would lead to someone discovering something, causing unnecessary trouble, and being noticed by the people behind the scenes. He smiled and ended the topic in a hurry: "Then I'll bother Aunt Fang."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Aunt Fang waved her hands repeatedly, feeling that this foreign boy was very literate in his words.

Although Jiang Wei came to their village and served as the village leader for several years, he rarely saw people, let alone talked face to face like this.

At most, they would meet each other head-on, nod and ask: "Have you eaten?"

When Aunt Fang took the bowl home, she was still thinking about Jiang Wei.

Just now, she originally planned to wait for Jiang Wei to leave first, thinking that he was a big official, and then she would go home.

As a result, she didn't leave, and neither did Jiang Wei. The two stared at each other and stood in front of An Ning's house, serving as a human stake for a long time.

Later, she asked: "Is there anything else Muramasa has going on?"

Jiang Wei glanced at the door of Jiang Anning's house and shook his head no.

When I left, my eyes seemed to be glued to the door of An Ning's house.

Aunt Fang's man, Jiang Genshan, watched his mother-in-law come back from delivering chicken soup to An Ning, the girl next door, and was in a daze as if she had lost her soul. He reached out and poked her: "What are you thinking about here? Your eyes are all wet." Straight."

"I'm thinking about Jiang Wei."

Aunt Fang said smoothly.

Jiang Genshan screamed: "What the hell?"

Anger suddenly appeared on his face, and he picked her up abruptly: "I think I haven't worked hard enough on you recently!"

You actually still have the energy to think about other men!
Aunt Fang was still confused. When she saw her man put her on the kang, she locked the door, stood up and glared at him angrily: "What are you doing? It's broad daylight..."

What are you thinking about that is not serious?

"What do you think I'm doing? What? Do you think I'm too old? Have you started thinking about younger guys?" Jiang Genshan angrily tore off his coat.

Aunt Fang:? ? ?

She punched the person: "It's not dark yet, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Aunt Fang was furious and glared at Jiang Genshan.

"I was wondering why Jiang Wei, a small village master, would come to our village."

Boss Jiang Genshan was unhappy and said angrily: "What do you care about others?"

Aunt Fang stared at him, as if she was speechless.

But thinking about the fact that there was only one person in the family who could gossip with her, she endured it again.

"You said, our village is not very rich, with little fertile land and a small population. So since Jiang Wei can win the favor of the official, why doesn't he go to a place with money and land like Wujia Village next door and become a wealthy person? Where’s the Muramasa you caught?”

"What's he doing here in this inhospitable place like ours..."

Aunt Fang looked like I have discovered a huge secret, please ask me quickly, ask me how I can continue.

Jiang Genshan was still upset: "I don't know!"

"You..." Aunt Fang was very angry: "Why are you so boring?"

"I'm old and I'm not interested. Young guys are interesting, so you just wonder why young guys come here."

Jiang Genshan pursed his lips and silently swallowed the words that he almost blurted out, "You just remember that this young man is here for you."

Some words are easy to say but difficult to take back.

He also wanted to live a good life with this woman and have two more babies.

Aunt Fang was angry for a few moments, but she couldn't help but the flames of gossip were burning: "I suspect Jiang Wei is here for An Ning."

Jiang Genshan showed a true expression and sneered: "As expected..." The young man from Daydream came to you.

His voice suddenly stopped, and he said "Huh?" in surprise: "What the hell?"

Aren't you thinking about this young guy?
Jiang Genshan scratched his head with some guilt, coughed twice, pretended that nothing happened, and gathered with others to gossip: "How did you say this? What did you see?"

"Didn't I go to deliver chicken soup to An Ning just now?"

Jiang Genshan nodded "Yeah".

"Then I met Jiang Wei coming on horseback. I thought he was a bandit on horseback. I was so scared that I wasn't scared to death!"

Jiang Genshan nodded "Yeah".

"Then when he saw me, he immediately acted as if he had been caught having an affair. He dragged me around and started talking about me. At that time, I felt that something was not right."

Aunt Fang gave full play to her imagination.

Jiang Genshan nodded cooperatively "Yeah".

"As expected, I stood at the door of Girl An Ning's house and waited for a while. I really saw the look in her eyes, as if she was glued to it, staring at the door of Girl An Ning's house and refusing to move!"

I knew from the look on Aunt Fang's face that this must be what happened: "Later, he probably saw that I was there and was embarrassed, so he ran away in a hurry. You said, this is not interesting to An Ning girl, what is it? ?”

She slapped her thigh excitedly: "Also, when he met me, he knew that I was bringing chicken soup to Girl An Ning. He laughed so much that his mouth almost reached behind his ears, but he really cared about Girl An Ning!"

"You said, if this isn't interesting to An Ning, what else could it be?"

Jiang Genshan nodded: "That's indeed what happened."

The couple hit it off immediately and got back together.

Jiang Wei sneezed several times at home. Shengji hurriedly took a coat and put it on him: "Young master, I'm afraid you may have caught a cold."

He was a little annoyed: "Mu Yao really doesn't know how to advise you. The climate in Jiang'an County is already hot and cold. Come back quickly. You must be sweating violently. If you let the cold wind blow, Blow, you may catch a cold."

Shengji mumbled, "I'll make you some ginger tea."

Jiang Wei waved his hand and refused: "No."

He rubbed his nose: "I know my own body well."

It didn't feel like he was catching a cold, but rather like... someone was paying attention to him behind his back.

He shook his head to disperse those messy thoughts and asked in a deep voice, "Have you asked me yet? Did Jiang Anning go out today?"

Having just spoken to Aunt Fang, he was not sure whether Jiang Anning was at home.

If he were at home, it would be inappropriate for him to rush in.

"I said no one came out." Shengji said and handed someone a cup of hot tea.

Jiang Wei frowned.

"Did I really see it wrong?"

No, no, there was absolutely no way he could see it wrong with those eyes.

Or Jiang Anning wasn't at home at all.

Or...it's unknown whether there is another Jiang Anning hidden in Jiang'an County!

After Jiang Wei speculated about conspiracy, his eyebrows suddenly became sinister: "Did you find anything over there in Anjifang?"

Sheng Ji was slightly stunned: "I just arranged for someone to go there today, and they haven't come back yet."

Sir, what's going on?
Jiang Wei exhaled a little irritably.

This feeling of being in the dark against the enemy is really annoying.

Sheng Ji was a little puzzled: "Why did the young master suspect that Jiang Anning was not at home? Looking at the way she vomited blood yesterday, the doctor surnamed Wang was probably not lying. He was afraid that he was really seriously ill. Even Zhao Hai was pulled out today. When she went to work outside the Yamen, she didn't even look at it, because she was afraid that she really wouldn't be able to get up from the bed."

His voice paused: "I heard Mu Yao say that you saw Jiang Anning at the boat by the river... Could it be that you were mistaken?"

That startling glance automatically appeared in Jiang Wei's mind.

On the way back, he wasn't very sure yet.

now……

"I can never mistake those eyes."

Jiang Wei had a stern look on his face, not only thinking of Jiang Anning, but also of the woman who died in front of him eight years ago.

Those eyes were as beautiful as Jiang Anning's, but a little more ruthless and assertive than Jiang Anning's.

Thinking of that woman, Jiang Wei's face became even more violent.

Sheng Ji hesitated: "If you suspect that Jiang Anning is not at home, why not take advantage of the villagers' resentment towards the Zhao family and take the opportunity to take a look?"

Jiang Wei looked at the person.

Sheng Ji: "When I came back, didn't everyone in the village say they wanted to drive the Zhao family out of the village to avoid ruining the marriages of other girls and boys in the village? You agreed to the same thing when you were at the Yamen Gate."

"It's just that when you came back, you made an appointment to meet at the painting boat, but you couldn't make it at that time."

"Now that you are back, why not take this opportunity to go to Jiang Anning's house to find out what's going on?"

"If you are really not at home..." Sheng Ji's voice paused, and his expression suddenly changed.

Jiang Wei also looked ugly.

If the person was really not at home, the tracking they thought was perfect would have been seen through long ago.

Not only was he seen through, he also evaded their surveillance and successfully ran out.

If that was the case, then in the past eight years, they had thought that Jiang Anning had always been under surveillance under their noses, which was no different than a joke.

Thinking of this, both the master and the servant looked very ugly.

"Go to the patriarch's house!"

Jiang Wei roared angrily and placed the tea cup heavily on the table with a bang.

After the person left in a hurry, the cup suddenly broke into pieces and the tea flowed down the corner of the table.

At Patriarch Jiang's house, everyone in the house had their heads buried, munching on some burnt thick flour pancakes and scooping out cabbage sticks that seemed to have been overcooked in vegetable washing water and were still a little black and sticky.

After Jiang Qingmiao and the scholar's family were discussing a marriage, but Lu Xiucai came to the house in person to reject it, the family members would be scolded if they made even more noise when an ant crawled over.

Others suffered from this low pressure and did not dare to say a word about the dinner which was difficult to eat.

The meal tonight was made by Patriarch Jiang, who had not been in the kitchen for decades since he married his wife. He went in for the first time and rattled inside for a long time.

Leng Buding heard Jiang Wei's voice ringing outside the courtyard. Everyone in Chief Jiang's family suddenly felt like they had found a savior. They were just waiting for Chief Jiang to say something and drive them off the table.

It’s really hard to swallow!

Patriarch Jiang had a sullen face, listening to the knocks on the door one after another outside, and said in a bad tone: "There are no rules, come to the door when you are chasing others to eat."

Mrs. Jiang glared at him: "Jiang Wei may have come back from the county. I have something urgent to ask you. Please open the door quickly."

The eldest son of the Jiang family immediately put down his chopsticks and dough pancakes: "I'll go!"

"I'll open the door!" He hurriedly fled the kitchen, almost tripping and falling in his hurry.

Patriarch Jiang himself was a little unable to eat, and looked at the family angrily: "When you are full, you will get off the table. What are you doing here?"

When the Jiang family heard this, they immediately put down their chopsticks and cakes and fled the kitchen without looking back.

Patriarch Jiang smashed the pancake in his hand angrily: It’s so damn unpalatable!

As soon as Jiang Wei entered the door, he felt that the atmosphere in this family was a bit strange.

He didn't think much about it and said straight to the point: "Clan leader, I think it's better to bring justice to Sister An Ning and drive the Zhao family out of the village sooner rather than later. If the clan leader has nothing to do, why not take advantage of this moment when everyone is almost done?" It’s time to have dinner, gather the people together, and let’s go and settle things together.”

Hearing that Jiang Anning was so impatient to come forward, Patriarch Jiang, who was already full of resentment because he was not married to the scholar's family, instantly became even more angry.

Why was it that his granddaughter couldn't marry the son of a scholar, but Jiang Anning fell in Jiang Wei's eyes and was so loved?
"I'm not going!"

It was all this girl's fault, which made it impossible for his granddaughter to marry into a scholar's family.

Jiang Wei frowned: "Clan leader?"

He was surprised by Patriarch Jiang's attitude.

Patriarch Jiang felt a little guilty, his eyes averted, and he coughed lightly: "I just think this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

Afraid that people would see the darkness and anger in his heart, Chief Jiang shouted righteously and loudly: "Is it possible that you really want to push Zhao Yuanshan's family to a dead end?"

"A rabbit knows how to bite people when it's anxious, let alone people?"

"I think this matter can't be rushed."

He didn't want to go anyway. Girl An Ning ruined his dream of becoming relatives with the scholar, and he got angry when he saw her.

Jiang Wei's face dropped.

"The patriarch wants to protect Zhao Yuanshan?"

He really couldn't figure out what was going on in Patriarch Jiang's walnut-sized head.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Jiang Wei looked back at Shengji and made arrangements in a cold voice: "Since the clan leader doesn't want to go, let's call the others."

"Think about it, other people in the village won't be like the clan leader, who can't carry it clearly!"

Jiang Wei emphasized the word "can't carry it clearly" very hard.

Patriarch Jiang looked ugly.

Finally, due to pressure, he followed the others.

After gathering most of the people in the village and arriving in front of Jiang Anning's house, it was already less than half an hour later.

Jiang Wei couldn't wait to knock on the door.

dong dong!

The rapid knocking on the door was particularly loud in the quiet night.

 Will Sister An Ning be caught?
