Chapter 100: Ascendancy (4)
The innkeeper mourned and said:
"The villain only found out about the night guard last night when he sent the two young ladies back, and the government came to inquire again this morning. Here's how it ......."
The shopkeeper was horrified and told the story of the previous night, and then fell to his knees and did not dare to look up.
"What nonsense!" Jiang Yuan said angrily, "Go and call that cloth merchant and her daughter, if you don't give me an explanation today, I'll see who can keep them!"
Someone actually took his two righteous daughters out of the city secretly in the middle of the night, and also encountered demons and a group of outsiders, what did he want to do? Do you want to test your weakness and bottom line, or do you want to go against yourself?
After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuan went upstairs angrily with the wood carving and walked towards the guest room.
In the corridor outside the guest room, the little girl Qianluo was already waiting there with a smile:
"When I heard the voice downstairs just now, I knew that my father-in-law had returned. Father-in-law, did this trip go well?"
Jiang Yuan stepped forward:
"What about Chen Yin and Li Siyan, call the two of them over!"
The smile on Chira's face was still lovely, and she replied:
"Father-in-law, you don't know that you are not here for a few days, we all miss you to death! Especially the second and third sisters, they always ask me when you will come back. ”
As he spoke, Qianluo pulled Jiang Yuan to push open the door of the guest room and enter:
"Father, come quickly, we are all waiting for you!"
When I entered the room, I saw that the remaining three children were there.
Ding Ze was still lying in bed, sluggish.
Li Siyan and Chen Yin stood in an orderly manner, looking very flustered.
Jiang Yuan was about to get angry, but he heard Qianluo speak:
"Second sister and third sister, take out the things quickly!"
I saw Li Siyan stretching out her hand from behind her back and holding a belt in her hand.
The belt is made of leather, brass with a brass belt, and the pattern is simple, and it doesn't look like it's worth a few dollars.
I only heard Qianluo say:
"Father-in-law, we found that your belt was broken, so the second and third sisters borrowed money from the shopkeeper and chose this belt. This is made of cowhide and is very durable. ”
"My belt is broken?"
Jiang Yuan put down the wood carving and lowered his head to inspect it suspiciously, only to find that a large piece of the leather belt on his waist had been worn off. I have dressed and undressed many times in the past two days, but I haven't looked closely.
Qianluo glanced at Li Siyan and Chen Yin at this time.
The two little girls hurriedly stepped forward and untied Jiang Yuan's broken belt.
Then, the two girls carefully tied a new belt for Jiang Yuan, and took out a cheap jade pendant and tied it on it.
"You ......" Jiang Yuan only felt amused, and his face changed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Who came up with the idea! Kneel down for me!"
The three girls were startled, and then Qianluo knelt down and said:
"Father, it's me. ”
Chen Yin and Li Siyan also knelt down and begged:
"Father-in-law, it's our idea, it's none of the eldest sister's business, we are wrong! Please don't blame the eldest sister!"
Jiang Yuan snorted coldly:
"You don't have to cover it up for her anymore, I know this ghost idea is a thousand thoughts. Forget it, get up. We'll talk about last night later, you give me the belt, and I have something for you. ”
Only then did the three girls get up from the ground and look at Jiang Yuan nervously.
Jiang Yuan took out a peace buckle and three sachets from his clothes:
"This is what I bought in Lingcheng, one of these three sachets. ”
After handing out the sachets, the three girls thanked them in unison:
"Thank you, Father-in-law. ”
Jiang Yuan came to the bed with a safety buckle and sat on the edge of the bed, and asked Ding Ze:
"How do you feel?"
Ding Ze's immature little face was still very pale, and he said tiredly:
"Father, the child is fine. ”
Jiang Yuan smiled, and then hung the peace buckle around his neck:
"Don't worry, now that I'm back, your illness will soon be cured. Now you close your eyes, and don't open them without my command!"
Although Ding Ze didn't know why, he still closed his eyes obediently.
He turned back to the three girls and said:
"You three go out and don't let anyone come close. ”
The three girls quickly left the room and closed the door.
Jiang Yuan came to the wood carving and kicked the wood carving.
A cyan band of light quickly rose from the wood carving, and the band of light slowly squirmed, all the way to Ding Ze's body on the bed.
Jiang Yuan stood beside the bed, Ding Ze's face improved little by little in the cyan streamer, the paleness faded, and he became ruddy and healthy.
After a while, the cyan ribbon of light slowly withdrew into the wood carving.
Jiang Yuan then said:
"I can open my eyes, how do you feel now?"
Ding Ze opened his eyes, and there was a reappearance of wit in his eyes:
"Father-in-law, I suddenly feel no more uncomfortable! I am no longer as groggy as I was in the past few days, and my whole body is relaxed and comfortable!"
As he spoke, Ding Ze had already sat up from the bed.
Jiang Yuan smiled, he didn't expect that the dryad's ability was really magical, if he had time, he would have to ask if it had other abilities, and he had to completely squeeze out its value.
Then, Jiang Yuan called the three girls in, and when they saw that Ding Ze had recovered his health, they immediately chattered happily, like a flock of sparrows.
After a while, the innkeeper knocked on the door and said:
"Childe, the father and daughter of the Wu family have arrived. ”
Jiang Yuan came to the outside of the room, and sure enough, he saw a pair of frightened father and daughter.
He led the father and daughter into a guest room and sat down in a chair.
The slightly wealthy middle-aged businessman Wu Tong and his little daughter suddenly knelt in front of Jiang Yuan:
"Jiang Gongzi, the villain has no way to teach his daughter, the villain is not strict in discipline, the villain should die! Who knew that this disobedient seed would sneak out of the city in the middle of the night with the two young ladies, if something happened to the two young ladies, then the villain would not be able to recover even if he let this disobedient seed pay for his life. Please also ask the son to be gracious, for the sake of this disobedient seed of young and ignorant, spare her cheap life!"
Wu Tong was bitter in his heart at this time, he had an idea, and sent his youngest daughter to the inn to make friends with a few children, originally everything went smoothly, and he also had the opportunity to climb the big tree of the martial artist of the Returning Sect Realm.
But who would have thought that everything had completely changed last night, and a good thing would become a disaster in a blink of an eye, and the whole family would be affected.
All of a sudden, Wu Tong even had the heart to strangle his daughter Wu Wei to death.
Wu Wei knelt on the side and sobbed quietly, her beautiful face was blue and swollen at this time, and dry blood stains could be faintly seen in her nostrils, obviously she was beaten by her father.
Jiang Yuan asked Wu Tong in a cold voice:
"Who sent you to do this?"
Wu Tong was shocked, this was completely an accident, if it was inexplicably turned into a conspiracy, then the lives of his whole family would not be saved.
He hurriedly kowtowed and wailed:
"Childe Mingjian! This is completely a villain who is dizzy for a while, and wants to disobey the two young ladies to get on good terms, and there is no one to guide him at all, and he has no other thoughts!"
Jiang Yuan snorted coldly:
"Boss Wu, now that you have confessed, there is still a chance. If you continue to lie, be careful that the whole family will not be protected. ”
Jiang Yuan didn't have time to care whether what Wu Tong said was true or not, in the face of such a situation, if he didn't deal with it ruthlessly enough, then who knows if there would be anyone in the shadows who wanted to continue to test him.
"Childe Mingcha! The villain is wronged!"
Wu Tong kept kowtowing, and his forehead was soon stained red with blood.
Jiang Yuan ignored it, grabbed the tea cup on the case, and drank the tea slowly.
Wu Tong continued to kowtow, and when he knocked to the back, his body was almost unstable, obviously dizzy. Not only was the blood splattered on the ground, but his face had also completely stained red.
Wu Wei, who was kneeling on the side, finally couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and said to Jiang Yuan:
Siyan and Chen Yin were almost killed because of me! If you want to kill, kill me alone!"
Jiang Yuan sneered:
"When will it be your turn to speak?"
Wu Tong hurriedly stretched out his hand, slapped Wu Wei in the face, and then pressed Wu Wei to kneel on the ground again:
"Childe, this disobedient species was spoiled by me, not only did I almost kill the two young ladies, but I also dared to offend Childe at this time, see if I don't kill her to make amends to Childe!"
Wu Tong has now figured it out, instead of sacrificing more than a dozen people in his family, it is better to sacrifice this culprit who caused all the disasters. When she died, her family had a chance to be saved.
Immediately, Wu Tong's eyes were ruthless, he pressed Wu Wei to the ground, and pinched Wu Wei's neck with both hands.
Wu Wei's feet kept struggling, and her hands wanted to pull her father's hand away, but her strength couldn't compete with Wu Tong at all.
Under the father's more and more fierce attitude, Wu Wei's little face soon turned purple and red, and his tongue also spit out, and he was about to die.
Wu Tong saw his daughter's appearance, his heart was like a knife, the hideousness on his face disappeared, and he finally couldn't do it anymore.
He withdrew his hand from his daughter's neck, covered his face and wept loudly.
After all, it was his own daughter, and if he wanted to kill her with his own hands, how could he do it?
Wu Wei, who was wheezing, lay on the ground, breathing in a big breath of air while coughing violently.
"Bang!"
Jiang Yuan put the tea cup on the case:
"Have you acted enough in front of me?"
Wu Tong seemed to want to say something, but the whole person had almost collapsed and couldn't cry.
"Knock! knock!"
There was a knock on the door.
Jiang Yuan asked angrily:
"Who?"
Outside the door was the voice of a thousand falls:
"Father, I have something to say to you. ”
Jiang Yuan snorted coldly:
"Get out!"
However, he listened to Qianluo continue:
"When the father-in-law learned that the third sister and the second sister had encountered a demon, they were inevitably furious. Think about it, who wants their children to also come into contact with demons and ghosts? Although the demons were attracted by Wu Wei, they did not harm people after all. Otherwise, with just a few of them, how could they escape the pursuit of demons and ghosts? The second and third sisters didn't dare to say something to you, but they all told me. The traffickers last night said this morning that they were outsiders who only came yesterday, and they didn't know their father-in-law and didn't know that there were demons, and they only arrested Wu Wei alone, but they didn't arrest the second and third sisters. This matter, obviously, someone behind it knew that the daughter of the stepfather could not move. ”
It was the first time Jiang Yuanzhi had heard this detail about human traffickers, and he had a new idea in his heart.
After a short pause, Qianluo continued:
"Father-in-law, although we are children, we will also make our own friends. Although Wu Wei may have other plans, she is really good to the second and third sisters, and the second and third sisters also regard her as true friends, and if Wu Wei dies, they will also be very sad. ”
At this time, Li Siyan and Chen Yin's cries also sounded outside the door:
"Father-in-law, please spare Sister Wu and Uncle Wu! We don't blame Wu Wei, we really don't blame her!"
Jiang Yuan smiled helplessly, then stood up and walked outside the house. Before leaving, he said to Wu Tong, who was kneeling on the ground:
"Take her back, for my daughter's sake, and that's all for today. Remember, it's not over yet. ”
