Chapter 391 Severing ties
Jiang Weinan sat down.
Seems to be recalling the past.
He suddenly seemed to think of something: "Now that you mention it, I seem to remember something!"
"I remember that time, my mother was always wiping away tears. I went to comfort her, and she always hugged me and told me to be a good person in the future and not to be like Jiang Huaian."
"I still remember that one time she and Jiang Huaian had a quarrel at home. It was a very serious quarrel and my mother cried very hard! And the time of that quarrel was almost the same as the time when the He family was killed."
After saying this, Jiang Weinan seemed to be recalling that time and nodded: "Yes, that was the time."
"That's why your mother went to the town and helped the He family. She felt guilty! She wanted to help your father atone for his sins..."
Jiang Weinan said nothing.
Xie Jiaojiao thought for a moment and said, "If this is the case, should we tell Brother Qin about this?"
The next morning, Jiang Weinan went to the yamen again.
After Qin Fang heard what he said, he stared at him in disbelief. After all, Jiang Huaian was his father!
"Brother Qin, don't you believe it?"
Qin Fang nodded: "After all, that's your father, right?"
Jiang Weinan smiled bitterly: "Brother Qin is not unaware of what's going on in my family."
Qin Fang patted his shoulder and said, "Actually, I have been investigating this matter and have long discovered that there is something wrong with Jiang Huaian. I am waiting now."
"What are you waiting for?"
Qin Fang smiled slightly: "Wait for an army."
army?
Qin Fang said this, added water to his teacup, and added some to his own cup.
"There are so many bandits and robbers. Do you think the bailiffs in my small yamen can catch them all?" After Qin Fang said this, he looked at the people in his yamen and shook his head.
"I can't just let them die, right?"
As he spoke, he clinked glasses with Jiang Weinan, and, holding my teacup in one hand, he said, "This army was assigned to me by my teacher. With them, we have a chance of winning this time against the bandits!"
"Besides, I have been keeping an eye on these bandits for a long time! They are already old hands in this area. To be honest, I need political achievements now, and they... are my achievements!"
Jiang Weinan stared at Qin Fang: "Is this also the purpose of my uncle arranging you, Brother Qin, to come here?"
Qin Fang shook his head, then nodded: "I offended some people I shouldn't have offended in the government, and was sent here under the arrangement of the teacher. In fact, I have dealt with these bandits before. I originally wanted to wait until the situation in the capital was stable before dealing with them. By then, I can return to the capital with merits and a legitimate reason. But now they are so rampant, especially in the past six months, countless merchants have been robbed by them, and the people and merchants are suffering. Therefore, I have to punish them as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Qin Fang looked at Jiang Weinan and said, "Because you are one of us, I told you these words. You must not tell anyone else."
Jiang Weinan nodded immediately and assured: "Brother Qin, you can rest assured about this."
Qin Fang nodded, stood up, and looked at Jiang Weinan: "Okay, since you have guessed a little about this matter, and I have told you so much, Jiang Huaian will definitely not be able to get rid of himself in this matter. So, if I were you, it would be time to deal with the relationship with Jiang Huaian."
Jiang Weinan understood what he meant. If something happened to Jiang Huaian, it would inevitably bring disaster to them. Only by breaking off relations with him could he and Xie Jiaojiao be saved.
Qin Fang patted his shoulder again: "These are all the teacher's instructions. If you don't come to me, I will visit you before going to suppress the bandits."
"Brother Qin, I understand."
Jiang Weinan bowed to Qin Fang, then left with big strides.
Qin Fang looked at his departing back, sighed slightly, shook his head, sat down at the desk and began to write a letter.
Lai Fu, who was outside the door, saw Jiang Weinan coming out and hurriedly followed him.
"Master, do you want to go to the store? Or should we go back to see the young mistress first?"
"Go to Jiang's house."
After Jiang Weinan finished speaking, he strode into the carriage.
Lai Fu was stunned for a moment. After putting the stool away, he jumped on the carriage and drove towards the Jiang family.
Xie Jiaojiao waited at home until past noon, but still hadn't returned to Jiang Weinan, and she suddenly felt a little anxious.
Chunxiang trotted in: "Madam, the young master has gone to the Jiang family!"
Jiang family?
"Where is he going?"
Chunxiang shook her head: "I just came back from the government office. It was Master Li who told me. But Master Li also told you not to worry, saying that the young master should be back soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lai Fu coming back with Jiang Weinan.
Jiang Weinan was seen covered in wounds, with a bruised and swollen face.
Xie Jiaojiao rushed forward with her big belly, "What happened? Who beat you up like this? I'll go and settle the score with him!"
After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush out.
Jiang Weinan hurriedly grabbed her arm and said, "Jiaojiao, I'm fine! I just look a little serious."
When he said this, Xie Jiaojiao's tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
"Laifu, help me back to the house."
Lai Fu supported him, and he took Xie Jiaojiao and went into the house.
"Go get the medicine box from home."
Chunxiang went there immediately.
Jiang Weinan was lying on the couch.
"Was it that old man Jiang Huaian who beat you?" Xie Jiaojiao asked.
Jiang Weinan forced a smile, but it hurt when the corner of his mouth was pulled. He took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Xie Jiaojiao: "Promise, this is a letter of severance! From now on, we will have no relationship with that place anymore."
Xie Jiaojiao looked at the broken letter and tears fell from her eyes.
His voice was nasal: "You got him beaten up just for this?"
Jiang Weinan reached out his hand and wiped the tears from her face: "Don't worry, I'm not in much pain, I just want him to vent his anger!"
It would have been better if he didn't wipe them, but as soon as he wiped them, the tears in Xie Jiaojiao's eyes fell even more violently.
He sniffed and said in a trembling voice, "Just for a piece of torn paper, he beat you up. If he really has any connection with those bandits, we can just arrange for someone to poison him and kill him. You don't have to take this beating!"
Jiang Weinan wanted to laugh after listening to her words, but the pain in the corner of his mouth made him smile with his teeth bared.
"Look at what you're saying."
Xie Jiaojiao snorted and patted him on the chest. Jiang Weinan broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, but still pretended to be fine.
Looking up, he said slowly, "I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and raised his hands to cover his eyes. Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at it, feeling heartbroken...
