Who is he talking about in Chapter 359?

The following March, the willows on the outskirts of Dinghai County sprouted new green leaves, and a faint fragrance of flowers wafted in the warm breeze.

At the gate of the Jiang residence, An'an, dressed in a light purple padded jacket, with her hair styled in two buns and tied with a pink ribbon, skipped and hopped onto the carriage.

"Master Haitang, we'd better hurry, or A-Ling and the others will be getting impatient." An'an shouted to the woman in blue outside the car window.

Haitang, dressed in a smart outfit with a short sword at her waist, nodded slightly to An'an upon hearing this, "Coming."

Her gaze swept over the two female guards accompanying her, Ying'er and Hui'er, and she said, "You two get in the car first."

The two female guards agreed and nimbly boarded the carriage.

Haitang then looked at Shanzi, the guard driving the carriage, and Da Yang and Wuqing, who were riding alongside, and said, "We don't have many people today, so you all need to be more vigilant on the road."

Da Yang and Wu Qing nodded in agreement, while Shan Zi grinned and replied, "Don't worry, Sister Haitang, I'll make sure you get to your destination safely."

After saying that, he gestured for Haitang to get in the car quickly.

Haitang didn't say anything more, but directly stepped onto the carriage.

Shanzi cracked his whip and gave a light shout, and the carriage slowly drove out of the Jiang Mansion gate, heading towards the east of the city.

However, before the group had gone even a mile, a rather ornately decorated carriage suddenly rushed towards them.

The carriage sped along, its wheels making a rapid "clattering" sound as they rolled over the cobblestones, startling the pedestrians who instinctively stood against the wall.

As Shanzi watched the carriage rushing straight toward them, he immediately pulled hard on one side of the reins, quickly steering the carriage toward the side of the road.

He thought the other driver would also give way, but to his surprise, the driver seemed to be blind, still blocking the middle of the road and driving the carriage toward them.

"Damn it!" Shanzi couldn't help but curse as the other carriage's wheels were about to hit his legs, which were hanging on the outside.

In the critical moment, he suddenly pulled his leg back and stood up, leaping off the carriage and landing steadily on the shaft of his own carriage.

But the driver not only didn't restrain himself, he even showed a malicious smile on his face.

Under Shanzi's incredulous gaze, he suddenly pulled on the reins, causing the carriage he was driving to move a little closer to Shanzi.

With a loud crash, the wheels of the two carriages collided.

After a violent shaking, the two carriages were stuck together and could no longer move.

Fortunately, the horses pulling the cart didn't keep causing trouble after their initial agitation, otherwise Shanzi would have had to take care of them.

Wu Qing, the guard following behind the carriage, saw this scene and his face instantly darkened. He and Shanzi both saw it clearly; the coachman's smile was undisguised, clearly indicating that he was deliberately looking for trouble.

"You're courting death!" Wu Qing roared, his figure rushing forward like an arrow.

Before the coachman could react, Wu Qing grabbed him by the collar and gave him a sound beating.

Wu Qing was very careful in his attacks, targeting areas that could quickly render a person incapable of resistance. In no time, the coachman was beaten black and blue, his arm was dislocated, and he could only passively lie on the ground groaning.

Meanwhile, Shanzi, his eyes fixed on the tightly closed windows of the other carriage, from which no sound could be heard, and hearing his young master's uncontrollable scream and subsequent groan of pain, was filled with rage. He suddenly raised his foot and kicked the window hard.

With a loud crash, the wooden car window was kicked and shattered, with debris splattering into the other vehicle's interior.

Only then did a few exclamations rang out in the carriage, mixed with the crying of two small children.

Shanzi thought to himself, "Now you know fear? When you were indulging your servants in galloping through the bustling city, why didn't you worry about the safety of other people and their property?"

Let alone in a small place like Dinghai County, even back in Baoding Prefecture, Shanzi had never seen any family so arrogant.

After all, the world is good now. The emperor is diligent, wise, and loves his people like his own children. The officialdom is relatively clean and honest. As long as people don't expect their rich and noble days to end tomorrow, they don't dare to be too arrogant in public.

Unlike this family, who dared to drive their carriage down the street as if they were in a hurry to be reborn, and their coachman even dared to maliciously ram into other people's carriages.

Shanzi really doesn't know how these people think. They bump into others, and while the other person is in trouble, don't they also cause trouble for themselves?

As he was grumbling to himself, the carriage door opened, and a young man in a brocade robe ducked out from the door.

His face flushed red, his hair disheveled, and he pointed at Shanzi, cursing, "You damned dog of a servant, how dare you kick down my carriage window in broad daylight! I'll make sure you regret this today!"

After finishing his tirade, he turned to the servants who had surrounded him and ordered, "Arrest all these unruly slaves and send them to the county yamen! Tell them that you are acting on the orders of Commander Jiang of Dinghai Guard, and that the county yamen must severely punish them!"

Shanzi and Wuqing exchanged a glance, their faces full of astonishment.

"Who? Who did he say?" Haitang, who was in the carriage, was also confused. She opened the carriage door and got out while asking the question.

They had followed Jiang Yuan and Xie Wanniang for so long, and they had never heard of Jiang Yuan having such a relative.

This person is acting in their master's name right from the start. Do their master and the princess know about this?

No, what's more important now is that, judging from the driver's practiced crashing technique, this must be the first time they've done something like this.

So, before they ran into the real culprit, had they already done the same thing many times?

Otherwise, their nag should not have been able to remain calmer than their retired military horses during the car crash.

Haitang's sharp eyes scrutinized the young man from head to toe without any hesitation.

Once she was certain she had never seen this person before, her tone turned cold. "In broad daylight, you deliberately drove your car into people, and now you dare to impersonate an official and spout nonsense. I think it's you who should be sent to the authorities."

Although she guessed that these people were acting under Jiang Yuan's name because they were probably related to him, since they didn't say they were related to Jiang Yuan but instead directly flaunted their status under his name, Haitang didn't mind simply using this as an excuse to accuse them of "impersonating an official of the imperial court."

She raised her hand and waved to Shanzi and Dayang: "Tie them all up and take them to the yamen so the magistrate can judge the matter."

Shanzi happily replied, "Okay!"

Before he finished speaking, he and Da Yang rushed towards the young man and his entourage.

The young man was shocked at the sight. He shouted, his voice filled with bravado but his heart was filled with fear: "You dare to do this! I am the cousin of Jiang Yuan, the commander of Dinghai Guard. If you dare to lay a finger on me, Commander Jiang will not let you off!"
