Chapter 375 Interrogation of Jiang Si
"Who is this?" Although Bai Qingyun felt disdain for the person lying on the ground, it was not good for him to expose his extraordinary strength in the Jiang family, so he asked the nanny beside Jiang's mother step by step.
The nanny was very kind to Bai Qingyun. Although she was a little shocked to see that she was so young and yet remained calm after seeing such a scene, she remained calm and concealed her shock in front of the other servants in the house, and answered respectfully.
"Young lady, this person is Jiang Si who blocked the door before."
"Jiang Si?" Bai Qingyun was a little helpless about this unfamiliar name. Although the nanny was respectful, such an answer was really... meaningless to Bai Qingyun.
Since she was not familiar with the Jiang family, it was impossible for her to recognize a servant by just his name.
As a last resort, she could only look at Uncle Fu with questioning eyes.
Uncle Fu looked over when Bai Qingyun asked the question, but when he noticed her puzzled look, he did not answer her question quickly. Instead, he tilted his head slightly and took a quick look at Jiang's father who was standing next to Jiang's mother. He saw that the other person's head moved slightly up and down, and then he continued to look at Bai Qingyun.
He considered it for a moment, then said, "Young lady, this man was not originally a servant bought by the Jiang family. Oh, not a servant bought by the Jiang family in Jiangzhou, but a servant bought by the Jiang family in Kyoto."
There was not a trace of respect for Kyoto in his words, but rather disdain and contempt.
Perhaps, in his heart, the Jiang family only had Jiangzhou Prefecture. Although they had not yet fully completed the process of splitting up the family, the moment they were driven out of Kyoto like beggars using three remote prefectures, splitting up the family had already become a reality.
This distinction in language also helps Bai Qingyun better understand the current situation.
At this time, Father Bai finally pulled away from his resentful eyes. He had given up praying, and his youngest son would definitely take out another magic pill for him.
But think about it, it is a waste to use that kind of magical elixir in such a place. I gave it to my wife because she had seen fewer bloody scenes than me.
He stood beside Bai's mother, looking at the red arm grabbed by Jiang's mother. He resisted the urge to rescue Bai's mother and turned his attention to the conversation between Bai Qingyun and Uncle Fu. He asked curiously, "Why are people from Kyoto here?"
Uncle Fu bowed respectfully to Father Bai again before he stood up and answered, "Originally, the master and his wife traveled around the world, and the people in Kyoto would not know the specific location. They would only know some general directions based on the clues of Jishitang along the way."
"It's just that... the master wants to renovate the house here, and also wants to move some of the things from Kyoto here. He plans to settle down in Jiangzhou."
"When the old patriarch in Kyoto found out, he sent someone to escort them, and Jiang Si was the one in charge of this escort."
What Uncle Fu said was a bit obscure, but everyone present knew very well that the things being escorted were most likely related to redecorating Bai's mother's yard.
After all, the moment they decided to leave Kyoto, they had already dealt with many things, and some stores in Kyoto even sold them directly for cash, which was convenient to carry.
The possibility of going back to deal with their things again is not very high.
Just because they were afraid of bringing any trouble to Bai's mother, they hid all traces of Bai's mother in front of the servants whether they were going to Kyoto or staying in the house in Jiangzhou.
The three members of the Bai family were extremely satisfied with such a thoughtful and meticulous arrangement.
It was just this last sentence that made Bai Qingyun curl his lips and say, "Is this person really the Jiang family's Patriarch's man?"
"The upbringing of the Jiang family is truly astounding!" However, Bai Qingyun did not dare to say the latter sentence in front of all the Jiang family members present. Bai's mother is also a member of the Jiang family by blood. It is better for him to keep such indiscriminate attacks and hurtful words to himself!
Father Jiang looked at Mother Jiang holding her daughter's hand and whispering in a low voice, then looked at the unconscious person lying on the ground. When he heard Bai Qingyun's question, he couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.
Fortunately, a maid happened to bring a chair and placed it behind him, so that his old and frail body did not collapse in the raised mud behind him. He just slumped on the chair with a look of being drained of energy by life, which made him look much older all of a sudden, and there was no trace of the spirit that he had just had in the main hall, happily entertaining and caring for his grandchildren.
He weakly placed his two heavy arms on the armrests of the chair and said to Uncle Fu weakly: "Go get a bucket of water. I also want to see what kind of person my good father sent over!"
The small courtyard is some distance away from the kitchen. Fortunately, the previous owner of the house had dug a few more wells for convenience. Now that Jiang's father and his family had just moved in, they ordered people to clean the inside and outside of the courtyard, and also asked someone to clear the well water in the servants' room next door.
Therefore, not long after Jiang's father finished speaking, a wooden barrel full of water appeared in front of everyone.
"Puff!" The spring well water carries the biting chill of last winter. After a bucket of water is poured down, even a person who has fainted from excessive blood loss can wake up immediately.
The pain coming from behind made the man clearly show a hint of hatred and murderous intent. The feeling was subtle, but Bai Qingyun still noticed it.
But this guy is not a complete idiot. He knows the situation he is in now, and he hides all his emotions behind the sound of breathing to relieve the pain. It is really amazing to watch. His acting skills are amazing!
"Husband... Madam, I really didn't know that was the young lady. Madam, please forgive me this time for the sake of the old patriarch!"
The voice was faint, like that of a dying person, but it could not fool Bai Qingyun, a shrewd man who had been in Kyoto and a meticulous observer.
Father Bai: "..."
Uncle Fu stepped forward and kicked him. His bulging temple as he gritted his teeth made people sigh, he must be so angry!
But it makes sense. He kept saying that he didn't know, but he still used his identity as the old patriarch to excuse himself, as if he was afraid that others didn't know that he was the patriarch's man.
Naturally, Uncle Fu, who was loyal to them, could not tolerate someone using the power of another to threaten Jiang's mother.
After Uncle Fu kicked him, the anger that had been building up in his chest dissipated. He looked at the disheveled and bloodied man with a relaxed and comfortable look, with a hint of experienced ferocity and hostility in his eyes.
"Hmph!" He snorted coldly, and then said in a cold tone: "The old master values his reputation the most. Tell me... would he like a servant who ruins his reputation outside!"
"You can go back and try. The pigeons that flew from Jiangzhou to Kyoto first are faster, or your useless carriage will reach Kyoto first."
"I'm afraid that if you don't return, the order will come down to sell you off or throw you into a farm in the suburbs!"
"Maybe..."
