Chapter 243 The Murderer Jiang Quan

Qian was determined to play the straight man for Jiang Xinyu today, and when she saw that Jiang Xinyu was trying to steer the conversation toward Jiang Quan, she quickly chimed in.

The two men's back-and-forth banter made the officials tremble with fear, as if Jiang Quan had truly been kidnapped by bad guys.

The officials wanted to go to Jiang Quan's house to check on Jiang Wanqiu, so they couldn't be stopped. Jiang Xinyu gave Xiaodie a wink, and Xiaodie followed them.

They claimed their kung fu was good, and that they could even help out when they encountered a江湖小 (Jianghu Xiao) figure.

The officials were naturally happy to oblige.

Don't be fooled by the fact that she's a girl; she's from the Shura Hall of the Eastern Depot, and they're no match for these amateurs.

If there really were notorious thieves hiding in the Jiang residence, they would still have to rely on this Miss Xiaodie to save their lives.

After about half a cup of tea's time, the two officers returned, with Xiaodie still carrying the struggling and screaming Jiang Quan in her hands.

Jiang Wanqiu saw Jiang Quan being held by Jiang Xinyu's maid and immediately seized the opportunity to criticize her, saying that Jiang Xinyu had no brotherly affection and that Xiao Die did not distinguish between master and servant.

Xiao Die smiled faintly, let go of Jiang Quan, and curtsied.

"When the servant and the two officers entered the room, Young Master Jiang was indeed lying on the bed."

But his clothes were neat, he hadn't even taken off his boots, and there were no signs of outsiders in the house.

Young Master Jiang didn't have a fever, but when he saw the maids and others enter the room, he started cursing them with great gusto, and his voice sounded very strong.

The servant found it strange and asked a few more questions, but unexpectedly, Young Master Jiang shouted that he didn't smash it and it had nothing to do with him.

This servant finds it strange; no one should have told Young Master Jiang that Young Master Jiang was hit by something.

How did Young Master Jiang find out?

At this point, one of the officers clasped his hands in a fist salute to the crowd.

"Based on Young Master Jiang's behavior, we reasonably suspect that he is related to the assassination attempt on Young Master Jiang."

But he refused to cooperate with the questioning and even tried to kick us out.

"Thank goodness Little Butterfly was willing to carry it; otherwise, we would have been chained up."

After being released, Jiang Quan quickly glanced at the crowd but didn't notice Liu Shi rushing into Jiang Wanqiu's arms and hugging her waist.

"Second sister, save me! Second sister, I didn't mean it, it was her..."

It was that little bitch Jiang Xinyu who made my brother faint...

I just... I just happened to be carrying the vase when it fell.

This sudden reversal left Jiang Wanqiu completely stunned.

"Quan'er, what nonsense are you talking about?"

You actually hit your brother on the head.

Why? "

Jiang Quan shook his head frantically, "I didn't mean to, she made my brother faint."

My older brother was already lying on the floor when I came in. It's not my fault; I didn't know anything.

Jiang Xinyu gave a cold laugh, "So what? You just happened to see your older brother faint."

I happened to be holding a large vase in my hand.

It hit your older brother right on the head and then you ran away?

Jiang Quan, you are ten years old now, and you have been studying at the Imperial College for a year.

Don't you know the Four Books and Five Classics? Don't you even know the common sense that you'll die if your head is hit and you bleed?

He was perfectly fine when I was talking to Song Ge, and he even smiled and saw me off. How did I manage to make him faint?

"You're the one who knocked him unconscious, aren't you? You wanted to kill your own brother."

"It wasn't me, it was you who made me faint from anger. It was you who told my older brother that all the money the Jiang family spent in the past was your mother's dowry."

You said my older brother is stupid, only knows how to study and doesn't know anything about the family situation.

I saw you yell at my brother and leave, and then he fainted from anger.

Jiang Wanqiu really wanted to cover Jiang Quan's mouth.

This is like trying to hide something obvious; now everyone knows that Jiang Quan was eavesdropping at the door while Jiang Xinyu and Jiang Song were talking inside.

Madam Qian immediately exclaimed in exaggerated surprise, "Jiang Quan, you're really going too far! How can you speak so rudely to your sister? You have no manners at all!"

You see your older brother and sister arguing, why don't you try to stop them and instead eavesdrop?

Eavesdropping is one thing, but when you saw your brother faint, why didn't you rush to call your aunt to find a doctor?

What are you going to do with that vase?

How could it be such a coincidence that the vase fell on Song Ge's head?

You didn't smash it on purpose, did you?

We all saw it; the vase was broken into several pieces.

"Given your height, if you accidentally fell, you wouldn't achieve this kind of impact."

Jiang Xinyu wanted to applaud Qian Shi; she was practically her mouthpiece, saying exactly what she meant.

Jiang Song was so frightened that his face turned pale and he kept burying himself in Jiang Wanqiu's arms.

Whenever he made a mistake, he would always ask Liu and Jiang Wanqiu to cover for him.

But he didn't know if his sister would still side with him this time, since it was his older brother who was injured.

He was really confused at the time.

He was jealous of his older brother being pampered by the whole family since he was a child, but because he was also spoiled, the difference wasn't too great.

But he had suffered too much over the past year, and he felt it was unfair that his brother could live a carefree and leisurely life without having to worry about anything.

He knew his family was running out of money, and even his expenses had been cut back over the past year.

Those people at the Imperial Academy bullied him; in the past, he could at least pay them some money to keep them safe.

Later, his aunt stopped giving him money, and he was beaten more and more, but his father wouldn't allow him not to go.

It's not fair that only the older brother's expenses haven't changed at all.

Don't think he's too young to know; he heard it with his own ears: his aunt told the old woman that no matter how difficult things are at home, they can't let his eldest brother suffer.

He was having a hard time, and his aunt only told him to bear it. Why didn't his older brother have to bear it?

He didn't know why, but when he saw that little bitch talking to his older brother in the room, he wanted to hear what they were saying.

He was about to go back inside after listening to what was happening, but then he heard a thud from inside.

His older brother fainted and just lay there on the ground without any reaction.

At that moment, a wicked thought arose in his mind.

If only I didn't have an older brother.

Without his older brother, he would be the only son in the family, and the entire Jiang family would belong to him.

His aunt relies on him for her old age, his sister needs his support when she gets married, and everyone has to pamper him.

He no longer had to go to the Imperial Academy, and no one would force him to study.

All of this would be fine if my older brother weren't around.

Jiang Quan was never a good person, and his evil thoughts quickly overcame his meager conscience.

He knew this was his only chance; otherwise, his small frame wouldn't be able to beat his older brother.

If you smash the vase down, and break his head, my brother will die.

No one would have guessed that it was him.

He's so young, there's no way he could beat his older brother who's so much taller than him.

Many people came to my house today, and everyone will assume that it was done by adults.

He could get everything if he just smashed the vase.

Jiang Quan used all his strength to lift the largest vase high and smash it down.

With a thud, the vase was thrown to the side, and Jiang Song's head was immediately covered in blood.

Jiang Quan's hand trembled due to nervousness, so the blow wasn't very hard, but the pain woke Jiang Song up.

Through his blurry vision, he saw a small figure and tried to speak.

Before he could even utter a sound, a panicked Jiang Quan picked up the vase again and smashed it down hard.

He saw that his brother had opened his eyes. If his brother survived today, his aunt would definitely beat him when she found out.

The second time Jiang Quan was hit, he went all out. With a loud crack, the vase shattered, and Jiang Song closed his eyes.

As the blood continued to flow, Jiang Quan's heart pounded. He nudged Jiang Song and, finding him unresponsive, assumed he was dead.

It dared not linger there and quickly ran back to its room, forgetting even to take off its shoes before crawling onto the bed, trembling with fear.

This was his own brother, not some lowly servant. He had killed someone, and the pride of the entire family had been killed.

Jiang Song couldn't say whether he regretted it or not, but he was afraid.

His mind went completely blank when he saw the officials barging in.

Jiang Xinyu revealed a gleeful smile beneath the handkerchief covering her face. Sure enough, the most painful wounds come from those stabbed by their own people.

This time, she wanted to see how Liu and Jiang Wanqiu would choose.
