Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 267

He was with his cousin at the time, all three of them were five or six years old. They were no match for Jiang Xiaobao, who was already eight or nine years old and was very domineering on weekdays.

After discussion, the three decided to go back and ask the adults for help. With the adults around, Jiang Xiaobao would not dare to be so arrogant.

So the three children who ran to find the adults only saw Jiang Xiaobao beating Jiang Erya, but they did not see that after Jiang Erya was knocked unconscious, Jiang Xiaobao dug a pit and threw her into it, and then she was buried by Jiang Jie and his son.

Jiang Gousheng walked around for several times but didn't see his little daughter. Although his emotions were a little out of control, he did not forget that the man in front of him was the village chief and he could not defeat him.

Since he said Erya had gone back, he could only suppress the urge to grab Jiang Xiaobao and beat him up, and left with his men.

After everyone left, Jiang Jie took his youngest son's hand and stomped hard twice on the place where the body was buried.

There was an unprecedented sternness on his face, "Er Ya, since you are already dead, just lie here quietly. Your brother Xiao Bao didn't mean it. Uncle will burn more paper for you in the future. Just rest in peace!"

After saying that, he dragged his youngest son down the mountain.

Not long after arriving home, Jiang Xiaobao was dragged by his mother to take a bath.

Jiang Gousheng and his wife, who had been fooled by him, came back with their child, clamoring that Erya had not returned at all and demanded that Jiang Xiaobao hand over his daughter.

Of course Jiang Erya didn’t go back, and she couldn’t go back.

Jiang Jie couldn't possibly let such a little girl ruin his precious son, so he didn't say anything. He just mentioned that he had gone to the yamen to meet the county magistrate several times recently and had a very good chat with him. He hinted in his words that he had a very good relationship with the county magistrate, and it would be very easy to trip someone up if he wanted to.

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, the expressions on the couple's faces became hesitant, while Jiang Erya's brother looked at the adults with a confused look on his face.

When Jiang Gousheng left Jiang Jie's house, he looked very unwilling. He had been suppressed by Jiang Jie since he was a child. Now that he is married and has children, his own children are still bullied by Jiang Jie's children.

He could not swallow this humiliation, but they had lived in Jiangjia Village for generations.

The village chief may not seem like a high-ranking official, but to the villagers he is the emperor above their heads.

He could only grit his teeth and swallow it.

In the next few days, everyone who was free in the village would help find Jiang Erya's whereabouts. When they saw Jiang Xiaobao hitting Jiang Erya with stones, the children ran around without anyone paying attention.

Jiang Gousheng walked towards home tiredly, wondering if Erya had been kidnapped. Where else could such a young child have gone?

But that day, my daughter was clearly playing with my son and my cousin’s son and daughter, so how come the human traffickers only abducted Erya?

He couldn't figure it out, but he still felt that there was something wrong with Jiang Xiaobao.

I was originally heading towards home, but then I turned and ended up at Jiang Jie's house.

But before he could get close, a group of people hurriedly ran over from behind him. When they saw him looking over, one of them asked him, "Gousheng, why are you still here? Your son, Tieshuan's two children, and Jiang Xiaobao are all missing. We've been looking for them for a long time and still can't find them!"

After saying that, he hurriedly followed the person in front of him.

Jiang Gousheng was a little stunned and murmured, "Gone?"

Erya is missing, and now even Daniu and Tieshuan’s two children are missing?

He ran towards home eagerly. He had been working in the fields all day and his lunch was brought to him by his family.

When I got home, no one was at home. They had all gone out to look for the children.

When Jiang Jie finished explaining this, he suddenly fainted due to exhaustion.

"Tsk." Jiang Ying made a sound. Thinking that he was pretending to be dead, he walked up to him and kicked him twice, only to find that he was really fainted.

He turned around and called a soldier, "Go get a basin of water and some steamed buns."

The soldier nodded and went downstairs, and soon brought back a large bucket of cold water and a few white flour buns.

Jiang Ying gave him a look that said he was very smart, took the steamed bun from the soldier, and motioned for him to pass the bucket of water to Jiang Jie.

Jiang Jie, who was lying unconscious on the ground, was soon awakened by a bucket of cold water. Fortunately, it was summer now. If it was winter, he might have caught a cold.

"I don't have time today. Someone will come and ask you to write down what you just said and sign it for me. It's best if you don't try to be tricky with me again. Think about your family."

He ate a steamed bun and walked around Jiang Jie twice. Seeing that his eyes were always on the bun in his hand, he curled his lips and smiled, "Why? You want to eat?"

Jiang Jie swallowed and nodded hesitantly, not sure whether the general would give him a steamed bun.

He has been locked up for two days. Apart from two steamed buns in the morning, he has nothing to eat during these two days.

"Okay." Jiang Ying didn't have any intention of teasing him. He signaled the soldier to give the remaining two buns to Jiang Jie, and then turned around and left the cell.

He happened to meet the county magistrate and the legal advisor who had received the news. "General, where are you going?"

Jiang Ying glanced at them and said, "Now that the person who informed the bandits has been caught, I must go and suppress them. Otherwise, how can I report to His Majesty as soon as possible?"

The county magistrate wiped the sweat off his head and said awkwardly, "Yes, yes, thank you for your hard work, General."

"Of course I am." Jiang Ying was furious when he heard this. "Tell your people to keep their mouths shut. If anyone comes to ask about this again, arrest them. If they let the cat out of the bag again, prepare to be punished!"

It really pisses me off!

He asked why the bandits always escaped every time he went up the mountain to suppress them. It turned out that Jiang Jie came secretly to inquire, and the people in the yamen saw that he often came to talk to the county magistrate about some village matters. As the village chief, it was impossible for him to collude with bandits, so every time he came to inquire about something, they told him without any precautions.

Watching General Jiang walking away like a tyrannosaurus, the county magistrate and the legal advisor complained quietly, "What do you think Jiang Jie is thinking? He is a good village chief and he is actually colluding with bandits?"

The lawyer was also very puzzled. He knew Jiang Jie very well. He seemed to be a smiling man on weekdays, but he could actually do such a thing.

Forget it, let’s interrogate the person first.

After entering the cell and hearing Jiang Jie repeat what he said, both the county magistrate and the legal advisor felt a chill down their spines.

Especially the county magistrate, so many cases of child trafficking occurred under his jurisdiction.

If General Jiang reports this to his superiors, he will lose his official position.

Both of them were a little frightened, but they managed to calm down.

The lawyer cleared his throat, sat down at the small table, and asked with a pen in his hand, "Then why did you ask the bandits to kill Jiang Gousheng and Jiang Goushuan? If I remember correctly, they seem to be related to you, right?"

At this point, Jiang Jie knows that he cannot escape death. He only hopes that Xiaobao and his family will be fine, and he will bear any guilt himself.

"Jiang Gousheng saw Linzi coming to find me, so he hid and overheard our conversation. He knew that I had drugged so many children in the village and gave them to Linzi to sell. He found Jiang Tieshuan and wanted to report to the police. I was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so I asked Linzi to bring people to kill Jiang Gousheng and Jiang Tieshuan. I didn't want to kill their whole family!"

Tears welled up in his eyes. When he learned that Lin Zai had led people to kill Jiang Gousheng and Jiang Tieshuan's entire family, he panicked. He didn't expect Lin Zai to be so cruel.
