Traveling through ancient times.

People surrounded the courtyard of Jiang's house in three layers.

Looking at the man with his hands and feet tied and placed on a square table.

They were very familiar with this person. More than seven years ago, he married into the Jiang family in a way that shocked everyone.

He is handsome, gentle, eloquent, and I heard he is also a scholar.

People couldn't understand why there were so many wealthy merchants who wanted to marry their daughters to such an outstanding man, and even some local gentry who valued talent were willing to curry favor with him.

After all, this kind of person is a potential stock. If you invest in him when he is down and out, he will surely rise to prosper with his family when he graduates from high school.

Therefore, people hear that a certain rich man married his only daughter to a certain poor scholar, but they have never heard of a scholar marrying into a certain family in order to survive.

At that time, many people thought this was unreliable, but the news from Jiang's house at that time was that the young couple was loving and harmonious, the husband sang along with the wife, and it was simply sweet as honey.

Moreover, the two elders of the Jiang family were very satisfied with their son-in-law and praised him to everyone they met.

Then Master Jiang gradually took him over to handle the business, and finally handed it all over to him...

Not long after Mr. Jiang handed over the shop to his son-in-law, bad news suddenly came from the Jiang family - Mr. Jiang and his wife both passed away due to illness.

As a bystander, the first thought in my mind was: What a coincidence.

Although Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were both in their sixties, which was considered old in that era, they lived a comfortable life and had always been in good health. How could they suddenly fall ill and die?

Unfortunately, no matter how wildly outsiders imagine, the young couple in Jiang's house still have a deep relationship.

Their conspiracy theories are more like sour remarks made because they are jealous of other people's happy family life.

It was not until people heard that the weak young lady of the Jiang family fell into the water and was unconscious, and some of the servants were already impatiently saying that this Jiang residence would no longer be the Jiang residence, that people realized that this extinct family had been taken over by this son-in-law.

People sighed and said wow, the Jiang family was once so glorious.

One of the richest people in Fusong Town was about to be eliminated from the list in just a few years.

However, just when everyone thought that everything was a foregone conclusion, the sickly Miss Jiang woke up.

Then, the Jiang family caught fire, and Miss Jiang invited the local sages and neighbors to testify for herself, and temporarily took refuge in Yunshan Farm...

Now, more than two years have passed since Miss Jiang left the Jiang family, and she has returned in force.

It took her several days to get rid of all the evil slaves in the house, and she also captured the son-in-law in one fell swoop - and divorced him.

People were basking in the warm spring sunshine, looking at the man at the table who looked as pale as death, and talking about the matter.

More than an hour passed, and people's interest did not diminish in the slightest. Instead, they were even more excited about what would happen next.

Another half hour passed, and amidst the eager anticipation of countless people, the head of the Jiang family, who seemed to have turned on a cheat, finally came out.

A group of fierce servants lined up on both sides to separate a space for her.

Then a maid brought a chair and a coffee table for her, and Master Jiang sat on the chair with a stern expression.

She took a sip of tea before speaking: "First of all, as the current head of the Jiang family, I would like to thank you all for coming to witness the end of this farce of our Jiang family. I believe that everyone has heard various rumors about our Jiang family over the years, some of which are true and some are false. Things have already happened, and we can only say that it depends on one's own opinion."

"I'm sure everyone still remembers the fire at Jiang's house two years ago. At that time, several evil slaves admitted that they were the ones who did it. A month ago, I handed these evil slaves over to the government, and the county magistrate had already sentenced them. When the higher-ups sent people to re-examine and verify the case, these people actually revealed the shocking secret of the fire that year."

Most people have already figured it out: What secret? Wasn't it that the son-in-law had someone do it? And then when the plan failed, he let the slave take the blame.

However, people are still very much looking forward to hearing it from the mouth of the head of the Jiang family.

Jiang Yizhou paused for a moment and continued, "A day ago, I received a letter from County Magistrate He, asking for assistance in the arrest of the wanted criminal Ning Jianren."

She picked up a letter from the side. People couldn't recognize the words on it, but it didn't stop them from continuing to listen to the story.

On the other side, Ning Jianren twisted his body hard, stretched his neck forward, and tried hard to read the letter.

It's several meters away, so I can't see clearly.

But his heart gradually sank.

Even if he had been caught by those servants just now, he felt that he still had the strength to struggle and there was a possibility of saving the situation.

Now, the documents coming from the county government mean that those servants have confessed everything.

In this way, he had no way to survive.

At this moment, he was filled with hatred, resentment, and regret... Why didn't he kill Jiang Liu and Zhou Da directly... Oh, yes, there's also Jiang Guanjia, and Jiang Guanjia's family, and... It seems that if he really wants to do it, there are too many people to kill. Even if he sets a few fires, it may not be able to settle it.

Therefore, the one who deserves to die the most is this woman.

If he had burned her to death in the house at the beginning, now... now he would have been the son-in-law of Mr. Zeng and would have risen to a high position in the world.

"No, this is not true... They said they would never tell it. The matter has been determined long ago. Why, why would they tell it, wuwu..." His spirit began to collapse. These words fell into the ears of the crowd, and only further confirmed the truthfulness of what Mr. Jiang said.

Tsk tsk, at this time, you are still blaming others for exposing him?

How could he be so cruel? The Jiang family treated him well. In addition to being a son-in-law in name, everyone in the family respected him. The two elders of the Jiang family had never said anything to him with a dark face.

What's more, Miss Jiang gave birth to a child for him... This man is really heartless.

Ning Jianren heard the crowd's comments and murmured, "You don't understand. They owe me all this. All this should have been mine. Why..."

Jiang Yizhou raised his hand and suppressed it, "In addition to the solid evidence that Ning Jianren set the fire, these in my hand are the evidence that he has emptied my Jiang family's assets over the years. Except for the deeds of this old house, Yunshan Farm, and two pottery shops, which are in my hands, so he couldn't sell them, all other shops and land have been sold. These are the certificates left by the bosses who took over the land and shops, and they were sold to them by Ning Jianren."

People have known this for a long time, but when they heard the head of the Jiang family list it out one by one and also held the evidence that Ning Jianren had emptied the family's assets, there was still a buzzing sound in the crowd.

He endured for several years and gained the trust of the two elders of the Jiang family. After obtaining the authority, he killed the two elders suddenly.

Then Miss Jiang was "burned to death"... How vicious.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Kill him, kill him—"
