Chapter 271 The Eldest Son of the Jiang Family
Chapter 271 The Eldest Son of the Jiang Family
As the Black Kirin Guards were busy arresting people everywhere, the news that Xie Ying was attacked by the black dog raised by Jiang Er quickly spread throughout the capital, causing the people to talk about it.
In order to prevent public opinion from being unfavorable to the Jiang family, Jiang Er went home after coming out of the palace and told his father about this matter. Then the father and son quickly selected a cart of gifts from the warehouse and ran to Xie's house in person to apologize.
After Liu Xi confessed, Lu Xuan immediately went to the palace to report to Emperor Taihe. Emperor Taihe then issued an order to expose the Xiaoyao Pill incident to the world and asked local governments to conduct a thorough investigation. Once anyone was found selling or making Xiaoyao Pills, they would be arrested immediately!
The government also posted an urgent notice, not only informing people that Liu Xi had been bribed and deliberately harmed others, but also informing people of the dangers of Xiaoyao Dan, and requiring people who had used it to register with the government immediately so that they could receive timely treatment.
The people were shocked.
Because Xiaoyao Dan has always been sold in secret, many people have never heard of it.
"What on earth is this Xiaoyao Pill? It can actually make a dog go crazy!"
"This is horrible! Someone actually trained a dog to bite a baby!"
"The Princess of Fu'an County is truly a lucky star. She was attacked by a mad dog, yet she remained unscathed!"
"I heard it was thanks to her mother and grandfather that they beat up the mad dog!"
"Huh? Princess Fu'an's grandfather and mother are so powerful? Aren't they from the countryside?"
"Just because they're from the countryside, they're so powerful, right? Think about it, how could those delicate ladies beat up a mad dog?"
"That's right! I wonder what the Fu'an County Master's mother looks like. Isn't she a big, strong girl?"
"That's not clear. No matter what she looks like, Xie Xiu can't divorce her."
"That's definitely not possible. Back then, Xie Xiu was being hunted and severely injured, losing his memory. Not only was she his savior, she also took him in. If Xie Xiu divorced her, wouldn't he be worse than an animal?"
As the people were chatting, the topic went off track.
In the Jiang family, many people were also discussing this matter.
After Mr. Jiang returned from Xie's house, he scolded Jiang Erchou, punished him to kneel in the ancestral hall to reflect on his actions, and forbade him to keep a big dog again.
The black dog was really huge. Even if it didn't bite Xie Ying this time, it might bite someone else next time.
Instead of always being on guard against being schemed against by villains, it is better not to raise a big dog in the future.
Jiang Er also knew that this was a very dangerous situation. He was at the scene and saw the horrific scene with his own eyes. How could he dare to refute?
So he ran to the ancestral hall and knelt down obediently.
When Jiang Chi heard the news and hurried back home, he heard that Jiang Er was kneeling in the ancestral hall, so he went to see him.
He is the eldest son of the Jiang family and a steady person. Now he is the deputy of the son-in-law Situ Jing and is much more steady than Jiang Er.
He was originally on duty in the army. How could he sit still after hearing such horrifying news?
So he quickly asked Situ Jing for leave and came back to take care of family matters.
Unexpectedly, Situ was so rude. Although he gave him a leave, he beat him up! Fortunately, he didn't hit him in the face, otherwise he would have lost face.
Jiang Er was kneeling. When he heard the door open, he quickly raised his head.
Seeing that it was his eldest brother Jiang Chi, his eyes immediately turned red with grievance, and his voice was choked with sobs: "Brother, you are finally back! Your younger brother was almost killed!"
Jiang Chi looked at him with tears streaming down his face, feeling both distressed and disgusted.
"Who told you to keep that dog? I warned you long ago that the dog is too big and has a fierce temper. If it gets out and bites someone to death, you won't be able to explain it!
What did you say in the end? You said you would keep the dog under control and would never let it out to bite anyone, but what happened? If you had sent it away earlier, you wouldn't be being plotted against today."
Jiang Er's face was full of grievance: "I asked someone to lock it up, but who knew that beast Liu Xi would go out to gamble and lose a lot of money. In the end, he was bribed and deliberately trained the black panther to bite people."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of that horrible scene, and felt terrified.
How old is that fat girl from the Xie family? If she were to be bitten by a black panther, wouldn't she be dead for sure?
Moreover, Xie Xiu was holding her at the time. When the black panther attacked, he protected his daughter with his hands. If it weren't for Madam Tu's wit, who knocked the black panther away from the side, Xie Xiu's hands would have been broken!
You can't think about this, otherwise the more you think about it, the more scared you will be.
Jiang Er regretted it so much: "Brother, I will never keep a dog again!"
Seeing him so frightened, Jiang Chi felt even more distressed.
He raised his hand and rubbed Jiang Er's head, sighing helplessly: "You like dogs, so you should raise a small one in the future. Puppies are easier to manage and are less likely to bite people."
Jiang Er shook his head frantically: "No, no, I won't keep it anymore. If a puppy is drugged, it will go crazy and bite people. I don't dare to take the risk!"
Seeing that he insisted, Jiang Chi stopped trying to persuade him and asked, "You know Xie Xiu, what do you think of him?"
Jiang Er was a little surprised: "Brother, why do you suddenly ask this?"
Jiang Chi suddenly felt a little disappointed with himself!
He glared at Jiang Er angrily and said, "Your dog almost killed his daughter. Why am I asking this all of a sudden? Do you think he'll hold a grudge?"
Jiang Er quickly shook his head and said in a horrified tone, "Brother, you're not going to take the initiative and kill him right away, are you? No! This is absolutely not possible! He and I are good brothers!
And this incident was caused by me. If I hadn't invited him to pick fruit in the orchard, he wouldn't have brought the children there, and they were almost bitten by a dog.
I've already been very sorry for him, if you kill him for this, that would be too much!"
Jiang Chi's face darkened instantly: "What are you thinking? What's the point of killing him? Am I that kind of person?"
He was just worried that Xie Xiu would hold a grudge against him, so he wanted to suppress that person, but he never thought of killing him directly.
Jiang Chi looked at Jiang Er and asked worriedly, "Are you sure he won't hold a grudge? I heard that he severed ties with Xie Yun because of his mother's death. He can even disown his biological father without any recognition. This guy is a ruthless character."
Jiang Er shook his head affirmatively: "Xie Xiu is a smart man. He knows that the culprit is the person hiding behind the plot, so why would he bear a grudge against us?
Besides, he broke off relations with Xie Yun because Xie Yun was such a jerk! Xie Xiu's biological mother was killed by Xie Yun and that vicious woman Chen Fang. If he continues to recognize Xie Yun as his father, how can he be worthy of his mother's tragic death?
"Since you say so, I'll believe you for once. You continue to kneel and reflect on your sins. I'll go see my father."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Er and saw that Jiang Er waved at him and urged him to go quickly. He had no intention of asking him to help plead for mercy. He couldn't help but feel complicated.
His younger brother who always gets into trouble seems to have grown up suddenly?
