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

Chapter 9 Betrothal Jiang Anning to the younger brother of a domestic violence man

In the Yamen.

Jiang Anning asked the county magistrate to give her an official document proving that she had returned the 20 taels of betrothal silver to Zhao Hai, dissolved the marriage, and ordered the Zhao family to return the marriage certificate and other items.

The county magistrate looked impatient.

He glanced in the direction where Jiang Wei was standing, and when he saw someone nodding, he became friendly again: "My lady's request is reasonable, that's right!"

The county magistrate immediately called the master and asked him to help write a document to Jiang Anning.

After saying that, he didn't forget to secretly observe Jiang Wei's expression.

Seeing Jiang Wei looking at his nose and his head lowered, looking like an honest man, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, the county magistrate and others did not expect Jiang Anning to actually return the twenty taels of silver. They just regarded it as a formality, but the man from the capital was there, and they did not dare to say "no".

Unexpectedly, Jiang Anning actually took out two 10-liang banknotes, and in a serious and serious manner, directly used the money to pay for Zhao Hai's food in prison.

The county magistrate's eyebrows relaxed a lot, and he secretly praised this young lady for being on the right track.

He looked at the master next to him and gave an instruction: "Write a notice and explain this matter clearly and clearly in detail, so as to avoid any unscrupulous people from even planning the dowry of their fiancée." If you do it, the world will be in decline!"

"Later, let the village chiefs and clan leaders of each village communicate with each other and explain the laws of this dynasty to them." The county magistrate glanced at Jiang Wei with a hint: "It can be regarded as my enlightenment. People, it’s a great achievement to wake up the world to understand the Dharma and know the Dharma, right?”

"In addition, Zhao Hai, as the principal offender, was taken out to show off to the public for seven days and was given ten paddles every day. The other accomplices were each given five paddles to serve as a warning."

The master responded and immediately started writing.

Jiang Anning was politely escorted out of the Yamen by someone arranged by the county magistrate. When she got on the carriage, she still felt a little unreal.

Zhao Hai... was sentenced like this?
She bit her lip slightly, her hatred spreading. It was just three years in prison and a few days of beatings, which was not enough!
For her life in the previous life, she must pay for it with Zhao Hai's blood! -
Several people returned under the moonlight, and the carriage slowly stopped at the door of Jiang Wei's house.

Jiang Anning got off the station and stood still. She turned around and saw Patriarch Jiang, who was about to fall out of the carriage due to weak legs. Just as she was about to reach out to help him, Jiang Wei was already one step ahead of her with quick eyesight and quick hands.

The man had a faint scent of pine and cypress, and when he got close, it all entered Jiang Anning's nose, causing her to look slightly sideways.

Not many country people know how to put incense on their clothes.

And this clothing material...

I didn't think so at first glance, but now after taking a closer look under the moonlight, I discovered that Jiang Wei's plain-looking yellow material actually had hidden patterns.

Judging from the craftsmanship, it looks familiar...

Like, tortoise pattern fragrant cloud yarn?

Jiang Anning inadvertently twirled the fabric on the corner of Jiang Wei's clothes and rubbed it gently, and sure enough, she heard a rustling sound.

"Oh my god, you scared me to death."

Patriarch Jiang's voice called back Jiang Anning's attention, and she quietly retracted her hand hidden in her sleeve.

Jiang Wei raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't feel the pull, as if nothing was wrong, and his face was expressionless.

He helped Patriarch Jiang walk towards his home.

At Patriarch Jiang's house, the old lady Jiang Wang, her daughters-in-law, and grandchildren were waiting with worried eyes for their two sons to come back after hearing the news.

When they heard the noise, they all rushed out to greet them.

"What's wrong? Where have you been? You didn't even want to leave a message at home."

There is no shortage of strong labor force in the family. With five sons and three grandsons who are old enough to be married, Patriarch Jiang has stopped working in the fields and going out for work two years ago.

Normally I have nothing to do, I just take care of the garden, entertain my grandchildren, and take care of myself.

When I walked a little further, I just went to a small teahouse in the town, drank tea, listened to music, and joined in the fun to watch the young masters from rich families fishing. From time to time, I picked up some things that the rich young men looked down upon. The big fish comes back to fight the tooth festival.

It has never been so late before I can see my home.

Mrs. Jiang was extremely worried, fearing that her husband had fallen down somewhere and had an accident.

Jiang Wei helped the person into the room and sat down. Mrs. Jiang immediately poured tea for the person. She turned around and saw Jiang Anning following behind. She was slightly surprised and nodded with a smile as a greeting.

She asked her daughter-in-law to pour a bowl of tea for both of them.

Jiang Anning wasn't very thirsty, so she took a few sips to show courtesy.

Jiang Wei didn't answer or move, and didn't care whether the person pouring the water was embarrassed or not.

Only the Jiang clan drank a bowl of tea in two long gulps, then refilled two more bowls, and drank it in a gulp. Only then did he feel that his soul had recovered a little, and his pale face gradually became rosy.

"Where else could we go? Girl An Ning has been wronged, so Jiang Wei and I went to the county government office with her!"

Patriarch Jiang's face looked a little ugly: "Didn't the police come to the village to arrest people?"

"I'm here..." Jiang Bai held her breath: "Then you should also inform us. Who knows what you have been doing? There has been such a big thing in the village and I haven't seen you. I still treat you as you." Something happened, so the boss and the second child went out to look for it."

"Who knew I would be gone for so long." Chief Jiang's tone was obviously slightly dissatisfied, and he glanced at Jiang Anning: "I thought I would be back soon, so I didn't tell you."

If An Ning hadn't listened to the old man's words, why would he be like this?

Patriarch Jiang still has lingering fears when he recalls that in the court hall, when he saw the official sitting upright with a majestic face, with government officials holding water and fire sticks standing on both sides, shouting "mighty".

After kneeling down, he didn't hear the call. He didn't even dare to raise his head, sticking to the ground and trying his best to reduce his sense of presence.

I'm so glad I wasn't scared to death!
Fortunately, the county magistrate was fair and honest, so he didn't do anything to them. Instead, he politely arranged for them to be sent out of the Yamen.

Jiang Anning, who had been hinted at by Patriarch Jiang's gaze, moved her mouth a few times. Just as she was about to say something, Jiang Wei spoke up first: "It's getting late, so sister An Ning and I will go back to our respective homes first. Patriarch, take a good rest, we will have more tomorrow." Come and gather the villagers and explain the matter carefully."

"What did you say?"

"The county magistrate's instructions! The notices have been posted. I'm afraid everyone in the county will know about it tomorrow morning. As the head of the clan, shouldn't you shoulder the responsibility of passing down the instructions and strictly implement them? As requested by the County Magistrate, please tell us about Zhao Hai in detail, give a hard blow to those who have bad thoughts, and teach the people in the village about the law. Don’t look back and let anyone with dirty thoughts move. It’s a crooked idea that will affect our village’s reputation.”

After Jiang Wei finished speaking, Chief Jiang's expression changed, and he looked at Jiang Anning with even more unkind eyes.

He added: "I think it's settled. Tomorrow, Patriarch Jiang will give the villagers a hard beating to stop them from thinking wrongly and doing stupid things, and to clean up the unhealthy tendencies."

"In addition, if each family sends someone to go to the county to watch the execution, it can be regarded as supporting the work of the county magistrate, and it shows that our village will never associate with unlucky people like Zhao Hai."

Patriarch Jiang's expression kept changing, extremely ugly.

He wanted to say that there was no need to make such a big show of it, but wasn't it embarrassing enough?
However, Jiang Wei is from the county magistrate, so he may not be sure that these words are really the county magistrate’s true intention...

Patriarch Jiang took a deep breath, cast a slightly resentful gaze on Jiang Anning, and finally lowered his voice: "You are right, we cannot ignore the instructions of the county magistrate."

It was very gritty, unwilling and forbearing.

It's not that he doesn't feel sorry for Jiang Anning's experience, it's just that it's too inappropriate to make the matter so big and make the whole county laugh at their village. Patriarch Jiang's face looked a little gloomy, thinking about how he could avoid being disliked by the scholar's family and delaying the marriage of his two granddaughters once the matter spread.

Jiang Anning sensed that the clan leader was unwelcome and even resentful towards her, but she was sensible enough not to say anything more. She thanked them politely and left directly.

After the people left, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but wonder: "What's the matter with you? You look at An Ning girl with a displeased look. I don't know, I thought she had sued you."

"It's not her fault!"

With the listener, Chief Jiang became even more angry and accused Jiang Anning: "It's not a big deal. I was cheated out of a few dollars. I have to make a fuss all over the city and make people laugh. When I turn around, the two girls at home will follow me." The marriage of the scholar’s ​​family may be delayed!”

He was full of resentment, and his eyes were full of displeasure.

"Quickly pull it off! It's so easy for you to say this. You were only defrauded of a few dollars... I can't say how much money you made. It's too embarrassing to stand here and talk without backache."

Mrs. Jiang Wang figured out the cause and effect clearly, grabbed the person's ears and cursed: "You are a scholar, are you the same confused egg as you? You can't tell who is who and who is right?"

Her face was full of cold anger: "If Lu Xiucai really doesn't marry our family, then it must be because you, the in-law, are not pleasing to the eyes of others! What does it have to do with their peace?"

Chief Jiang choked, his ear was in the mother-in-law's hand, and he did not dare to protest loudly.

Only after he was free did he dare to jump on his feet and curse: "What do you know, you woman? Long hair makes you short of knowledge!"

After cursing, he ran back to the house, locked the door, blew out the lights, and shouted that he was going to sleep.

Mrs. Jiang sneered: "Go ahead!"

The whole family did not dare to speak out, but they could not help but murmur in their hearts. Could it be that the marriage proposal was really delayed?

Some people are also curious: How come Jiang Anning is so brave and dares to report to the official!

When the arrests came today, they all saw them. They all looked fierce and carried knives. They looked very difficult to deal with.
-
Jiang Anning didn't know what others were talking about her, and she didn't care.

After leaving Patriarch Jiang's house, she politely thanked Jiang Wei: "Thank you Muramasa for helping me out."

Jiang Wei chuckled: "I'm not helping you with anything. I'm just remembering the magistrate's instructions and saying whatever you want."

Jiang Anning was silent for a moment.

"Thank you then."

She changed her tune so quickly that Jiang Wei didn't know how to answer the question.

"I'm going back."

Jiang Anning said something and was about to leave.

Jiang Wei stopped her and said, "Although Patriarch Jiang's worries are unnecessary, are you really not afraid that you will be the target of criticism?"

His eyes were clear, and he seemed to be really just curious: "Since ancient times, the husband has been the guide of the wife. You and Zhao Hai are childhood sweethearts. They have grown up together since childhood. Why do you have to be so ruthless?"

"You think what I did was wrong?"

"That's not true..." Jiang Wei: "I'm just curious. You didn't seem to be like this before."

"What was I like before?"

Once upon a time...

Jiang Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Jiang Anning, and secretly suppressed his sharpness.

When this girl was eight years old, her parents died and she became an orphan.

His people rushed here almost in the same year and stared at her secretly.

Eight years have passed, and apart from being good at embroidery in this small county town, there is nothing this girl can do well at all.

He has a gentle temperament, a soft-faced face, is delicate and vulnerable, and sheds tears as if from a spring. He is so innocent that he is almost stupid. He only swallows when he is wronged. He seems to have no temper at all. Even in his former mansion, His roughness makes the girls more aggressive and aggressive than her.

But now, first he arrested Zhao Haixing, and then resolutely chose to report him to the police. Later, he even beat him severely, targeting the places on his body that were prone to pain, and he was very cruel.

So much so that he suspected that the girl's obedient appearance in the past was all disguised.

But when I think about it calmly, I feel something is not quite right.

If it was pretending before, why not now?

Did she not want to pretend anymore, or did someone behind the scenes give her new instructions?
If it was the latter... Jiang Wei's eyebrows were gloomy. He couldn't imagine how there were so many of them, who had been keeping tabs on him for twelve hours, and how could someone unknowingly deliver the news right under their noses without even realizing it.

Jiang Anning saw Jiang Wei looking at her slightly, and was no longer curious to know what she looked like in the past.

Zuo was just stupid and unbearable. He was tricked into selling out, and he was still crying with gratitude without realizing it, and took the money for others.

"Then was then, and the present is now."

In the past, people used to be knives and she was fish and meat, but now God has mercy on them, so it’s time to change.

People can't always be stupid.

At this moment, Jiang Anning's eyes were no longer as clear and clear as before. They looked like a life-seeking evil god crawling up from hell, without any life at all.

For a moment, Jiang Wei even felt that Jiang Anning's eyes looked a bit like that one.

Jiang Wei frowned and suppressed the many doubts in his heart: "I took the liberty. To apologize, I will take you back. It's dark and you are not safe alone."

"No need."

Jiang Anning refused the person neatly and left directly.

Jiang Wei had a secret, and she didn't really want to have too much contact with him.

Jiang Wei was also aware of the situation and did not pursue him. Instead, he secretly arranged for someone to continue to keep an eye on the activities at Jiang Anning's house and not to alert others.

As soon as Jiang Anning returned home, the Zhao family next door heard the noise.

"Dad, it seems Jiang Anning is back!"

When the lights came on in Jiang Anning's room, Zhao Yuanshan asked Mrs. Zhang to apologize to Jiang Anning: "... coax her well, or in the worst case, let her marry the second child!"

The eldest son would lose his reputation after being put in jail, so he would not dare to complain to the government officials.

But we can't let this little thing make our family unable to hold their head high in the village.

The best way, of course, is for Jiang Anning, the victim, to come out and clarify for them.
