Chapter 408 If there is an afterlife
Chun Niang was so angry when she heard this, she went up and slapped her in the mouth: "You are the devil and the disaster star!"
When the owner heard the crazy woman's nonsense, she was so frightened that she quickly stuffed a piece of linen cloth into her mouth. Seeing her struggle, she called on her family to tie her up with a rope.
After that, she repeatedly apologized to Chun Niang and Ying Bao: "Madam, little madam, this slave has a bad mind. You must not care about it."
Chun Niang said angrily: "Don't care? She wants to set fire to us and you want us to not care?"
The escort was also very angry, pointing at the owner of the house and yelling: "We are paid to stay here, are you trying to make money and kill people?"
The head of the household waved his hands quickly: "Don't dare! The villain's family is a pure and good citizen. How could he do such a thing? It's all because of this slave's impulse. I guess she has a grudge against the young lady's family..."
"Shut up!" Jiang Quan was angry and frightened at the same time. He pointed at Chen Wan and shouted: "Tell me, what grudge does my family have against you? Do you want to harm my cousin again and again?"
If the little cousin hadn't discovered it in time, tonight might have caused a big disaster.
This Chen Laoshuan family is really vicious, bad from top to bottom.
Chen Wan seems to be soft and weak, and is kind to her younger brothers and sisters, but she is not friendly to Ying Bao at all, and this time she wants to set fire to kill people, which is really inexplicable.
"We will report to the official as soon as daybreak." Yingbao said to her second cousin, "Second brother, take some of the bodyguard uncles to find Li Zheng here first and ask him to come and talk."
Since the witnesses and physical evidence are all there, it's better to find Li Zheng as soon as possible to save you a long night and a lot of dreams.
"No!" A short young man in his twenties suddenly rushed over, hugged Chen Wan, and said to Ying Bao and others: "There must be some misunderstanding. Wan'er is very kind. She usually wouldn't even step on an ant. Death, how can it harm anyone? Don't report it to the official, I'm willing to pay you five taels of silver, and I hope you can just let it go."
Chun Niang was speechless, pointing to the firewood piled at the door and window of the house, "Are you blind? What does it mean that there are so many firewood piled at the door of our house?"
The young man suddenly got up and tried desperately to move the firewood aside.
Jiang Quan and about twenty bodyguards immediately pushed him aside: "Want to destroy the evidence? No way!"
Yingbao scanned the house and saw that their eyes were all looking towards the firewood, so he slowly took out a gong and struck it, signaling to Mudan and Xinghua.
The two little girls understood and immediately put their gloves on their mouths and shouted loudly to both sides: "The water has escaped! Someone come quickly! The water has escaped!"
The young man and his family were stunned.
After a while, many people came knocking on the door of this house: "Uncle Fang! What's wrong! There is water leakage in your house? Open the door quickly!"
Jiang Quan quickly ran to open the door.
Twenty or thirty people came in, some carrying basins and buckets.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the scene in the courtyard.
"What's going on?" one person asked.
Yingbao said: "We stayed here for the night and paid for accommodation and food. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, someone piled firewood at the door and window of my house, lit it on fire and tried to burn us to death. Fellow villagers, please come and comment. Let's make things clear. Such a family?"
The middle-aged master quickly defended: "No. We really don't know. This damn slave did it all. She is a lunatic."
Everyone turned their attention to the woman who was being protected by the young man, and started shouting: "Since she is crazy, why would you let her out? I told you, Uncle Fang, you are serious too. If you leave such a woman at home, that's it." What a disaster.”
"It doesn't matter if she sets fire. Our neighboring houses are all connected. If they are all burned down, who will pay for it?"
"That's right! Send her to court!"
"That's right! Such a scourge cannot stay in our village!"
The young man looked around and shouted: "No! Wan'er is innocent, how can she be a disaster?"
He suddenly pointed at Yingbao and the others: "It's all them! They deliberately framed Wan'er and wanted to kill her!"
Old man Fang couldn't bear it any longer, and stepped forward and slapped his son in the face: "Naughty! When you bought her secretly, I knew she was a nuisance. How could her eldest father treat such a beautiful granddaughter? Sold to death? And sold to us?"
If her family was really short of money, wouldn't they sell her to the land of fireworks? It's better than selling it to a poor country boy.
It is said that her eldest father is still making inquiries in the market, specifically looking for those honest unmarried men. It is very obvious that he wants his granddaughter to marry.
As for why the Chen family used this method to marry their granddaughter, Old Man Fang didn't know. He intuitively believed that the girl had made some big mistake, so her family had to sell her to another place because they didn't want her to go back again.
The young man was slapped by his own father, and suddenly burst into tears. He knelt down to Chun Niang and others, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Wan'er was unintentional. Please let her go. From now on, I can work as a cow or a horse for you." "
"I'm really stunned!" An old woman came out of the house with a crying child in her arms, pointed at her son and cursed: "Is she even remotely grateful for you treating her like this? Have you ever thought that she would burn the house down?" At that time, have you ever cared about our family? Have you ever thought about the life and death of you and your children? "
These houses are all connected together for the purpose of housing travelers. If they really burn down, not to mention how much loss they will suffer, the main house will not be spared either. Moreover, their whole family is still sleeping in the main house. This The woman set the fire without even waking them up.
Such a vicious woman only wants her son to treat her as a treasure.
The young man paused.
Looking back at Chen Wan, "Wan'er, you."
Chen Wan turned her head to the side, tears pouring down her face.
She completely integrated the memories in her dream, clearly remembering that she once had fine clothes, fine food, and lots of slaves.
But everything was ruined by Ying Bao.
It was all Ying Bao's fault that she would be reduced to such a state and still commit herself to this short and ugly man.
So she didn't regret what happened today, she was only upset that she didn't succeed.
Old Man Fang sighed: "Da Lang, send her to the official, or give her a rope and let her break it off on her own. Think about Little Bao'er, he will be studying in a few years, our Fang family can't Leave behind a woman who will cause harm to your descendants."
The young man's eyes were confused and he looked at his wife Chen Wan sadly, and asked: "Wan'er, do you want Bao'er and me to die?"
Chen Wan lowered her head and said nothing.
At this point, she no longer wanted to live, so why would she lie to herself by saying things that were against her will.
If there is an afterlife, he will definitely strangle Ying Bao to death with his own hands, and then stuff her into the stove to avoid future troubles.
At dawn the next day, Ying Bao and A Niang boarded the carriage.
The motorcade slowly drove out of Caoji and onto the official road.
Seeing that her daughter was silent, Chun Niang asked, "Bao'er, is Xiao Wu also in the capital?"
"No, Xiao Wu wrote last time that he and Zhang Min went to Yizhou and would have to stay there for three years before coming back."
The emperor sent Jiang Wu and Zhang Min to garrison in Yizhou, probably because he wanted to train them so that they could be promoted to higher positions when they returned.
Of course, this is Ying Bao's guess, and it's hard to tell her now.
