MTL - The Heroine Forced Me To Fall In Love with Money-Chapter 29
After listening to Aning's words, the monk seemed to be silent for a while.
During this period, Aning did not speak, and kept waiting for him to make a decision. The two were silent like this. After some time, she saw the monk suddenly shook his head.
"I still can't give it to you." He said, turned slightly sideways and stopped looking at Aning's face, closed his eyes and crossed his legs and began to turn the Buddha to recite the scriptures.
So stubborn.
"Why won't you give it to me?" Aning said, frowning tightly.
She rushed forward and grabbed the monk's shirt, pressing the sword firmly to his throat, "Give me a reason, or I will kill you."
Seeing her say this, the monk finally opened his eyes again, tugged the corners of his parched mouth a few times, and spit out a word in a low voice.
"Because the prefect was kind to me, he saved me when I was almost killed by thieves."
"So, I want to repay him."
It sounds reasonable.
"But now that he has done harm to all living beings and embezzled so much treasure, gold and silver, do you still want to protect him?" Aning snorted coldly, with disdain in his eyes, "You Where does this Buddhist man put the common people?"
"I only stick to my own beliefs." The monk shook his head, "The common people naturally want it, but the kindness also has to be repaid."
I really don't know if this person is alive or not.
Aning clicked his tongue, and really didn't want to talk nonsense with him.
She turned the sword in her hand, and when the monk was unprepared, she directly tapped the hilt on his neck and slammed it down.
The monk had never practiced martial arts, and Aning's movements were so fast that he was knocked unconscious by her before he could react.
Aning sighed, dropped the saber in his hand, quickly untied the monk's shirt and slid into his clothes, and after a moment of fumbling, he pulled out a book.
Such a loyal person will definitely take the things that Jiang Heng handed over to him tightly, and he must touch it all the time, for fear of losing it.
But in the end, she took it away.
Aning spread out the book, carefully browsed a few pages in front of him, and found that it turned out to be an account book recorded by Jiang Heng himself.
The above clearly records the various secret accounts, who they cooperated with, what part of the silver taels belong to, how much profit they get from it, and so on.
Every stroke is recorded clearly.
It even mentioned Jiang Yujin's name, Aning frowned and turned back page by page, seeing that Jiang Yu'an was not mentioned, he was finally relieved.
Such a small ledger is an extremely critical piece of evidence, enough to convict Jiang Heng and Jiang Yujin to death, and at the same time to clear Jiang Yu'an's grievances.
But she did not intend to submit it directly to the emperor. After all, for such a high-ranking person, life or death depends on his mood. Even if there is real evidence, it may not be easy to ask him to withdraw the order.
It's better to start directly from him.
Thinking like this, Aning put away the ledger, turned around and quickly left the ruined temple, mounted his horse and galloped away.
I am afraid that there will never be a law of perfection in the world.
It would be great if it could make people live up to the Tathagata and the Lord.
…
Jiang Chengxuan took Jiang Zhinan to a place.
Probably afraid of her running away, Jiang Chengxuan found a rope to tie her up, and he held the other end of the rope and led her out slowly.
Jiang Zhinan followed him without saying a word, seeing that the place where he was now was a very small wooden house, with some simple kitchen utensils and daily necessities in it, which was very inconspicuous.
In addition, this house stands in the mountains and forests, it is even more difficult to find, I am afraid that Jiang Chengxuan has been hiding here for the past few days.
But...how did his body become like this.
Jiang Zhinan saw that he was walking and coughing all the way, and his body was not as straight as before, as if he was terminally ill.
Jiang Zhinan couldn't see through, and didn't rush to ask, so he followed Jiang Chengxuan all the way in silence.
After walking like this for a while, Jiang Chengxuan, who was pulling the rope, finally stopped, then turned sideways and told Jiang Zhinan to look forward.
Jiang Zhinan was very surprised that she saw two tombstones standing not far in front of her.
Liu Rumeng in one piece, Liang Yutong in the other, and nothing else.
For some reason, Jiang Zhinan always felt that these two names looked familiar.
She searched in her heart for a while, and with Jiang Yu'an's memory, she remembered that Liu Rumeng was Jiang Chengxuan's biological mother, and Liang Yutong was a girl he rescued from the market, almost became his wife.
But in the end, both of them died because of accidents, leaving only a lonely person like Jiang Chengxuan to survive in this world.
This is all she can remember right now.
Seeing to see the doubts in her heart, Jiang Chengxuan smiled, then opened his mouth and said softly: "I'm here."
He said it to the two tombstones.
Jiang Zhinan didn't dare to speak, and held his breath unconsciously.
When she saw Jiang Chengxuan finish saying this, she sat down anywhere, with a look of comfort in her eyes, as if she was just out to play.
Jiang Zhinan waited for a long time without waiting for him to speak, and finally couldn't help but ask: "What on earth did you bring me to do?"
"Shh." Jiang Chengxuan shook his head, put his index finger to his lips, and said, "Wait."
I don't know what to expect.
Jiang Zhinan sighed, then leaned over and sat down, guessing in his heart and the system what he meant.
After guessing for a while, she saw that a carrier pigeon suddenly flew over and landed gently on Jiang Chengxuan's palm.
Jiang Chengxuan took down the letter brought by the carrier pigeon and unfolded it, and then put it in front of his eyes for a few times, his expression seemed to change.
After a while, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if the letter was written in a thunderbolt.
Jiang Zhinan was a little curious, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes, but before she could ask, he saw Jiang Chengxuan suddenly stand up and hold the note in front of her.
I saw that it was written: "The whereabouts of Jiang Yu'an have been found, and he will be killed on the spot and his head will be cut off."
"In addition, all the evidence of Jiang's corruption has now been obtained. Jiang Heng and his eldest son will be executed tomorrow at noon."
The huge amount of information made Jiang Zhinan frowned, and he didn't speak for a while.
"Your Aning is really capable." Jiang Chengxuan smiled, shredded the piece of paper and threw it gently into the wind.
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Zhinan was a little confused.
"She didn't tell you?" Seemingly reading Jiang Zhinan's confusion, Jiang Chengxuan sighed, "She protected you so well."
"I thought..." He murmured, and for some reason, what he was about to say got stuck in his throat.
"Forget it." He said after a while, "Tell her to tell you about these things in the future, I'm only responsible for telling my story."
"After listening, you will probably understand why I did this."
…
The story is not long, but it is not short. Jiang Chengxuan coughed while speaking, and his voice was intermittent.
The protagonist in the story is the owner of these two tombstones, Jiang Chengxuan's mother and Jiang Chengxuan's lover, but the process and ending of the story are completely different from Jiang Zhinan's memory, there is a world of difference.
It turned out that Mrs. Liu, who was so dignified at that time, actually betrayed the Prefect Jiang, secretly having an affair with a servant and doing all kinds of indecent things every day.
At that time, Jiang Chengxuan was still young, and one day when he was playing a game in Fuzhong, he happened to see the scene of the two having sex, and he was immediately terrified.
At that time, he didn't fully understand these things. He only felt that his mother's expression made him fear, and the voice made him fear. The hands together also made him feel terrified.
Jiang Chengxuan was so frightened that he made a little noise when he was not careful.
Jiang Chengxuan pouted, almost cried, and left there as if he hurriedly fled. He was ill for several days.
During this period, his mother never came to see him, until the last day when he was about to recover.
Despite her fear, sorrow and utter confusion in her heart, she is still her own mother. As soon as she saw her, Jiang Chengxuan felt extremely happy, and quickly got up from the hospital bed and wanted to hug her .
But I never thought that my mother reached out and grabbed his neck.
"At that time she told me that if I leaked this matter out, I would die." Jiang Chengxuan smiled, his face was more bitter or more resentful, " After all, she is a woman from a humble background, and she has finally climbed to the position she is now, and being the second lady of the Jiang Mansion, naturally, she cannot withstand the risk."
"If the child is gone, you can have it again, but if the status is gone, then there is nothing." He said in a low voice, "She really wanted to kill me then, I can see it."
"A mother, in order to cover up her mistakes, and then want to kill her own children for the sake of fame and status, can't be forgiven anyway, right?"
"So Mrs. Liu's death..." Jiang Zhinan took a breath after hearing this.
Jiang Chengxuan just smiled, and soon began to tell the next story.
The protagonist this time is the girl he likes, Liang Yutong.
At that time, Jiang Chengxuan regarded her as a treasure and swore that he would only marry her in this life and love her only forever.
But in the end she was a woman with no status and a low background. Seeing that she and her son were happy with each other, Jiang Taishou naturally had a lot of reluctance in his heart.
So he talked to Jiang Chengxuan a few times in private, but seeing Jiang Chengxuan's firm attitude, as if he was fascinated by his mind, Jiang Taishou had no choice but to change direction and start from that girl .
I never thought it would be so simple.
The girl said she would never die, but she couldn't resist the temptation of money. Prefect Jiang only gave her a little favor, and he successfully sent her away.
In the end, there was only Jiang Chengxuan who took the lie seriously.
After Jiang Zhinan heard what he said, he immediately guessed that the girl must have died in his hands later.
Although it is a little pitiful, in the final analysis, Jiang Chengxuan is more pitiful.
"Then why did you treat your father..." But she didn't quite understand why Jiang Chengxuan wanted to take revenge with Jiang Prefect.
"Is there a reason for this?" Jiang Chengxuan snorted coldly, some messy hair fluttering in the wind, "Actually, since I killed them, I almost dream every night. ."
"But what appeared in the dream was not their ugly faces, but the smiling ones who truly loved me." He said this, his tone full of sighs, "So every time I wake up, I can't help but think, if my father only loves my mother, and if he doesn't interfere with Yutong's relationship with me, then everything will be different, am I just You don't have to be alone like you are now."
"But these are just delusions, right? Actually, I know very well."
What he said was so sad and decisive that Jiang Zhinan was speechless.
"Actually, I didn't intend to do it earlier." After a while, Jiang Chengxuan suddenly said, "The moment I really got chills, I heard him by chance while offering sacrifices in the ancestral hall. A promise made to our ancestors."
" He said that he had done too much wrong in the past, so he must diligently correct it in the future, make up all the things he owed to his children over the years, and put all the love... all into you. "
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Zhinan was stunned.
She never knew about this matter, but she could clearly feel for so long that Jiang Taishou was indeed much better to her than to the other two sons, and almost held her in the palm of her hand. The apex of the pet.
It turns out that there is such a reason.
"He is Jiang Heng, and he has two sons and one daughter under his knees. No matter which one is his child, compensation can make him lessen his sins, and his heart will be relieved."
"But me, I only have his father..."
"Second brother." Jiang Zhinan listened for a long time, and felt extremely sad in his heart. Just as he was about to say something to comfort him, he suddenly raised his head and stared at him.
"So compared to them, what I hate the most is actually you." He said, tears streaming down gradually.
"When I taught Aning, I saw my own shadow in her, and I knew that she, like me, would do anything to achieve a purpose, and even give up everything when necessary."
help."
"I played so many games and lost so much energy, but in the end I lost. I didn't expect that she would risk her life and be willing to risk her life to protect you."
"Jiang Yu'an, you are so happy, so happy... I'm even a little envious."
