Chapter 218 The Man Behind the Scenes
The carriage was still moving, and the driver had already rolled out. Jiang Wan looked around vigilantly, but no one was coming.
She was not very good at driving, so she simply jumped out of the car.
Of course, she dragged the thief along with her to dance, using him as a cushion.
The two men were carrying ropes and daggers, and they were definitely planning to tie themselves up after getting on the carriage.
Let them experience being tied up first.
Jiang Wan tied their feet together first, then tied their hands and necks. After tying them, she sprinkled itchy powder on the ropes as a small reward.
It was tiring to move two big men. Not long after she finished, Lord Qin and his men came after her.
Qin Zhen was relieved to see that the little girl on the roadside was safe and sound. Qin Yuan had just rushed into the government office and said that Jiang Wan had been abducted. He almost fainted on the spot when he heard this.
Jiang Wan was the one who was invited to the city to teach people. If anything happened, it would be me who harmed her.
Fortunately, she is fine.
"Xiao Wan, how are you? Did they beat you?"
Jiang Wan shook her head with a smile on her face.
"I have something to protect myself. They were knocked unconscious just as they were about to attack me. Uncle Qin, I'll leave these two men to you. Please find two people to take me back."
Qin Zhen immediately called out four yamen runners and asked them to take Jiang Wan to the dock and send her home.
"By the way, Uncle Qin, I put some itching powder on the rope, so be careful when you catch people."
Qin Zhen almost couldn't help laughing.
This girl has a really good attitude. She is not afraid even though she was captured in such a remote place, and she can even bully two grown men.
"You go back first. I will send more people to protect you tomorrow."
Jiang Wan waved her hand and trotted to the pier.
I was delayed for half an hour today. My mother must be worried when she sees that I haven't returned.
really……
As soon as Jiang Wan got off the boat, she saw A Niang and An Nan waiting for her at the ferry.
Seeing her get off the boat safely, the master and disciple finally put their worries to rest. However, the four extra yamen runners on the boat still made Yin Huaixi feel uneasy.
My daughter goes to the city to work. She tells me everything that happens during the day. Yesterday she specifically mentioned that she brought the dog back.
At that time, there were only her and the boatman on the boat, but how come there are four more people today?
"Wanwan, nothing happened to you today, right?"
Jiang Wan was still counting on A Niang to replenish the goods, so of course he couldn't keep it a secret. So he told her how he was captured and how he heroically drugged the two thieves.
We must emphasize how she can use medicine and handkerchiefs flexibly. We must make her believe that she has not suffered any loss.
"Mother, that Datura pollen is really useful. I used half a bottle this time, so remember to give me more."
As soon as Yin Huaixi's worry and fear emerged, it was dispelled by her daughter.
The three of them went home together. As soon as they opened the door, Niu Niu and Hua Hua ran over.
Jiang Wan was delighted. Could it be that the two little cubs would miss her if she was not at home for a day?
She couldn't help but grin and held out her hand.
As soon as she reached out her hand, she saw the two puppies didn't even look at her, but jumped directly at her feet. Niu Niu sat obediently, while Hua Hua Ze was wagging his tail and spinning around.
The head of the family is obvious.
"These two little creatures are really smart. They know I can give them delicious food."
Yin Huaixi just gave them two pieces of meat at noon today, and the two brothers remembered them and followed them wherever they went.
Jiang Wan withdrew her hand with a sad heart and turned around to hug Anan's arm.
"Hmph, ignore these two puppies. Anan, let's go and talk in private."
Anan thought Jiang Wan was just talking casually, but she didn't expect that he really had something to talk to her about after entering the pharmacy.
"Anan, is there anything you want?"
Jiang Wan heard her mother mention it casually last night and found out that Anan will be fourteen years old the day after tomorrow.
Now she is A Niang's dear disciple, and since they have such a close relationship, of course she should be given a better birthday gift.
Jiang Wan didn't want to make wind chimes anymore; that was a unique birthday gift she made for her cousin.
She thought for a long time last night but couldn't figure out what gift to give, so she just gave up thinking about it and decided to just ask Anan directly what he wanted.
Although it might be a little less surprising, she definitely really likes it.
"Let me ask you, what do you want most recently?"
Anan didn't understand what was going on. She stared at Jiang Wan for a moment and suddenly said something without thinking.
"I want an aunt..."
Jiang Wan's pupils trembled.
What did Anan say?!
Want an aunt?!
How could she afford that?
Just as Jiang Wan was about to speak, Anan suddenly came to his senses and slapped himself twice on the mouth.
"Xiao Wan, I was just talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."
"That's nothing. Next time Uncle Li comes, I'll help you urge him."
Jiang Wan gave Anan a meaningful look, and only returned to the stone house after she had finally gotten the words out of her.
That night, Jiang Wan and the two puppies were the only ones in the house who slept soundly and woke up very early.
After what happened yesterday, Lord Qin was very angry and had assigned more people to pick up Jiang Wan.
Early in the morning, many people from the village went out to sea. Everyone knew that there were government officials waiting for people at the door of Doctor Yin's house.
A wave of gossip suddenly broke out in the village.
The center of the gossip was not affected at all, and just went to the yamen at noon.
Because the shopkeeper Qin brought a message saying that the two thieves they caught had confessed.
"Uncle Qin, you said those two were sent by the young master of Fengweilou? Is that true? The He guy is not that boring, right?"
Jiang Wan felt that if she were a mature woman, He would probably let someone capture her. But now she was just a little girl, and he didn't like her, so why commit this crime?
"It was indeed him. You don't know that he was locked up again because he didn't get the letter of forgiveness from you and your daughter. But a few days later, I heard that his father had passed away. The dead are the greatest, and the He family paid a large sum of money, so I let him go back and arranged the funeral for his father."
Qin Zhen sighed.
"That kid pretended to be very sad. He disappeared the next day after he went back. This time, we had to rely on two more thieves to track down He. He will definitely not be released this time, don't worry."
Jiang Wan nodded. Since Lord Qin said so, she had nothing more to say.
"By the way, did he tell me why he tied me up?"
Qin Zhen hesitated for a moment, because the boy's words were quite unpleasant, so he slightly deleted and modified some of them.
"He just hated you for not selling him oyster sauce, so Fengweilou collapsed. His father also disliked him because of this and planned to train a new son."
There were also some random words. He felt that Jiang Wan was his nemesis. The two women he had his eyes on were both related to Jiang Wan, but he couldn't get them.
In short, he is a crazy person.
