Chapter 170： An Yongliang came forward

Jiang Ning breathed a long sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face, "There is something wrong with being secretive at first glance. Didn't you notice that the man spoke in a very thin voice? I heard that Qian Wen was cut off by his adoptive father. He was already alive. I’m an eunuch, and my collar is so high, what else is it to cover up?”

"That's it?" Niu Yiwu was stunned, "Auntie, it's too risky for you to do this! If not, wouldn't it offend someone?"

Jiang Ning snorted arrogantly and pointed at the people traveling with him, "Ask them who was wrong first. If that woman didn't find fault, I wouldn't have found the problem. Even if it turned out to be an oolong, it wouldn't be a big deal for me. Just admit your mistake and pay a few bucks. After all, they were the ones who started the trouble in the first place, and it happened for a reason.”

Everyone suddenly understood and began to criticize the woman. The old man who was the victim also testified on behalf of Jiang Ning and denounced the woman.

Niu Yiwu looked around, a little helpless and a little amused, "Okay, okay, I know that you caught the murderer Qian Wen for your merits, and you can go to the county government in two days to receive the reward."

“Receive the reward?” Everyone’s eyes were bright, including the old man driving the cart.

Niu Yiwu nodded solemnly, "Didn't the wanted order say that the county magistrate will reward anyone who can provide clues about the murderer Qian Wen? You not only provided clues, but also caught the person, the reward will only be more."

Everyone immediately went to Niu Yiwu to report their name and household registration, and then got on the old man's cart after finishing the work.

True to his word, Jiang Ning took out a bag of copper coins from his arms and distributed ten cents to each of them.

No one expected that it was Qian Wen who was caught, plus there was a reward from the county government, so everyone shook their heads and refused to take Jiang Ning's money.

The old man saw them pushing back and forth and said, "Keep it! How dare we go to the county government to collect the reward after taking your money!"

“That’s right!” everyone said in unison.

Jiang Ning had no choice but to take the copper coins back.

It was already noon when she returned to the village. In order to reach Songxi Town before dark, she only took a few things and went out.

Due to the extremely high demand for oysters in the workshops, a fairly spacious mountain road has been built from Qingfeng Mountain to the river. There are many bamboo rafts tied to the river. If you want to go out, you only need to hold the bamboo raft and take a fishing boat on Weijiang River. , much more convenient.

It was just getting dark when she arrived at Songxi Town.

The business of the restaurant was booming. Liu Ye sat on a high stool with a big belly and was busy stringing bamboo sticks. Jiang Dong and Jiang Nan greeted the guests. No one noticed that Jiang Ning was coming, so she simply went to settle down first.

At this point, the An family was ready to take a rest, but suddenly they saw Jiang Ning coming, and everyone came out.

Grandma An was even more excited and at a loss, "How should I salute? I can't shout like before, I have to call Mrs. Muyi! What kind of official is that?"

Everyone was so amused that they didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Jiang Ning smiled and quickly calmed down his expression, "Auntie, just do it as before. I came to see you today because I have something important to say."

Jiang Ning winked at An Yongliang.

Although An Yongliang didn't understand, he still understood the general meaning of her, and said to Mrs. Hu: "You and grandma will put the child to sleep first, and I will send the aunt back."

Hu Shi nodded.

Grandma An was not stupid, so she naturally noticed the little moves between the two of them, but she didn’t think much about it and entered the house very cooperatively. The two of them walked out of the yard and walked to the street.

Jiang Ning found a wonton stall and ordered two bowls of wontons, then slowly said: "Something happened to your uncle's family."

"A big deal? Could it be that my aunt and cousin got into trouble again?" An Yongliang's first reaction was this.

Jiang Ning's lips twitched slightly and he told him exactly what happened.

An Yongliang felt that his mind went blank for a moment. If he hadn't been sitting right now, he would probably have fallen down. It took him a while to find his voice, which was a little trembling, "What's the situation over there now?"

"When I came over, I met Qian Wen who was absconding. Officials had already arrested him. As for An Fangfang's current situation, I don't know very well. No one expected that such a thing would happen. I mean, should I Should we hide it from the old man first and wait until the matter is settled?" Jiang Ning suggested.

An Yongliang took a deep breath and bowed gratefully to Jiang Ning, "Thank you, aunt, for making the trip today. I plan to keep it secret from grandma and not let her know. I don't even plan to tell my mother-in-law. Please explain to me, don't let her know." They let it slip."

Jiang Ning nodded in understanding, "But have you ever thought that if the matter is so big, they will easily get wind of it from other places, and how will they explain it then?"

An Yongliang shook his head without thinking, "My grandma is old and the children are small. My mother-in-law doesn't dare to go out easily. I sell all the embroidery work she does for her. I also handle everything that is needed at home." In the past, she only went out occasionally to buy meat. Now I follow Datou to collect mountain goods, and she doesn't even have to buy meat.

As long as they don’t mention Datou, my grandma and the others won’t know anything. I plan to go back tomorrow. No matter what, I have to show up for their burial. "

Jiang Ning sighed, and immediately went to the restaurant after leaving An Yongliang, and explained the matter to Yang Datou and his wife.

The two of them were also in tears when they heard this.

Jiang Ning started back at dawn the next day.

She returned to her previous busy life. Everything seemed to be the same as before, nothing special. It wasn't until Gao Yong came to give her money that she realized that something had changed.

Looking at the two taels of silver in front of her, she felt a little complicated.

Gao Yong said: "Mrs. Jiang, don't be too little. The county magistrate who helped that day rewarded two taels each, which makes the total more than 20 taels."

Jiang Ning came back to his senses and smiled at him, "It's not that the money is small, but the source of the money is a bit novel. What happened to the An family in the end?"

Gao Yong sighed, "Ma and An Fangfang have already laid the foundation for their own trouble by seeking skin from a tiger, but they still don't know how to imitate others and add insult to injury. It is unexpected and reasonable for a villain like Qian Wen to come to kill them, but it is a pity." An Gaolin was innocently killed, and An Fangfang was lucky enough to survive, but he was still making a fuss over there. I really can't understand!

An Yongren was a good-tempered and honest man, and there was nothing he could do to her. However, his mother-in-law became cruel and threatened An Fangfang that she would not return to her husband's house until An Fangfang got married.

An Yongrenyue's family was also frightened by this incident, and even agreed to let their married daughter live with the family. Alas!

Fortunately, An Yongliang, who had settled into his second house, went back. He made several trips to the county government to get everything done and found a good place for An Fangfang. "

“Pfft!” Jiang Ning squirted all the tea in his mouth and his eyes widened in disbelief, “Anhui doesn’t look like a bad person, how could he do such a thing to divert disaster to the east?”

Gao Yong: “.”
