Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 108 Part 4: Tyrrany

After composing himself, the leader of the officers asked, "What is your intention in asking around about the guilty criminal Xue Huai Yuan?"

First thing he did was put a hat on them. This question was as if Jiang Li's group was the accomplices of the criminal. It seemed that they could arrest them just by this crime alone.

Ye Ming Yu didn't think like that and said, "Nonsense, just asking around, what's wrong? In Tongxiang, do you people still control the common people's idle chats? The control is so wide, do you also take care of people's food, drinks and toilet needs?"

The officers were furious. They probably didn't expect Ye Ming Yu to be a difficult person to deal with. They immediately took out the swords on their waists and pointed them at Ye Ming Yu. Then they saw Ye Ming Yu glare at them and pulled his long sword from his waist while revealing a fierce expression.

Tempering oneself in the rivers and lakes, one would not rely on kindness and compassion, leniency and honesty, but one was still not a ruthless character.

The officers drew their swords simultaneously, Ye Ming Yu's staff also pulled out their blades neatly. Both sides were confronting each other, scaring the waiter to hide under the table.

In the middle of the hostility, the beauty lightly chuckled. Jiang Li walked forward, extended one finger and softly pushed the tip of the sword he pointed at Yu Ming Yu to the side.

The thin finger was white and soft, against the cold and hard silver tip of the sword, not only did it not look frail, on the contrary, there was a kind of elegant chill. Her smile had a different warmth from the sword tip, as if without the slightest fear or the officials as she indifferently said, "Don't joke, uncle. Officers, we are not looking for the criminal Xue Huai Yuan," She bit heavily on the word "criminal. She paused for a while before speaking, "The person we are looking for is your superior."

"Our superior?" the leading officer frowned, "what do you mean?"

"It's very simple," Jiang Li said, "I don't know where your superior is, and don't know how to invite him over? Even more without any idea of how to let him know that we came. Heard that as long as we speak of Xue Huai Yuan things, your superior will appear, that's why we talk. Indeed, mysteriously you people immediately came."

Her smile was lovely, but the irony in her words made these officers panic. Their faces turned red for a while and pale for a while, however, they could not refute Jiang Li's words. If they refuted, they would reveal what they intended to cover up. It was truly frustrating.

"Less nonsense!" The leading officer was angry out of embarrassment, "What do you want to do, looking for our superior? What are you planning?"

"Actually, if I didn't come to look for your superior, when your superior knew that I came to Tongxiang, he would definitely invite me over." Jiang Li said indifferently. "However, our time is tight this time, that's why we are in a hurry to see him."

Ye Ming Yu said impatiently, "Ah Li, what do you say so much to them for? Quickly lead the way for us to meet this troublesome superior!"

Probably this was the first time that the leading officer ran into people who did not treat them seriously at all. He coldly said, "You want to meet our superior thus meet our superior? What kind of people do you think you are? Talking so arrogantly, it's still unknown what's your relationship with the criminal Xue Huai Yuan." He waved his hand, "Take them all away!"

Jiang Li asked smilingly in return, "Are you sure this is what you are going to do?"

The leading officer looked at her disdainfully. As he was about to say something, he spotted a jade earring dangling from one of Jiang Li's ear and abruptly stopped talking.

The entire jade body of the dangling earring was green and clear, a look could tell that it was worth a lot. He remembered the most doted concubine of the present master had a bracelet whose purity was not as good as this one. Even so, the master spent a lot of money to buy it back.

This girl was approximately 15 or 16 years old and dressed very finely. Above all, her features were soft and gentle yet there's a kind of luxury from being raised in a big family. She would be an eye catching presence even just by walking on the street in Tongxiang. Furthermore, the big and tall person by her side that she called "uncle", was clearly a rough person. But the long sword he held had a huge ruby the size of a pigeon egg on the hilt.

These travelers' identities were unusual, at least they did not come from ordinary families. The heart of the officer beat quickly, when he took another look at Jiang Li, he suddenly felt unsure.

But in front of so many people, especially in front of his subordinates, he would lose a lot of face if he gave in. In his heart, he very quickly weighed a few times and in the end, the leading officer still decided to say a few fierce words. However, before he opened his mouth, he saw the girl in front of him looked at her own fingers and spoke casually, "If I were you, I'll take advantage of the fact that I still speak nicely to lead the way. Otherwise....." She lifted her head and smiled sweetly at him, "the person who'll be in trouble will certainly not be us."

Her appearance was clearly gentle and harmless, but in that instant, the leading officer really saw the evil in the girl's smile. He intuitively felt if he did not do things according to Jiang Li, in the end, there's a huge probability that the result would be as she said.

He did not wish to get into trouble.

He sized up Jiang Li and her group of people. With a stiff face, he spat a sentence, "Bring them to see the master!" Perhaps feeling that he lost his face, he very quickly walked ahead of the troops, not willing to see Jiang Li anymore.

Perhaps he felt that he would not win even if he took another look at her. In any case, in terms of imposing manners, it's hard for him to shake this seemingly weak girl.

Ye Ming Yu glanced meaningfully at Jiang Li. In a low voice he said, "Not bad, Ah Li, your appearance of not changing expression even if Mt Tai was collapsing had my style in those years. Not bad!"

Tong'er patted her chest, "Miss, you can scare slave servant to death. Those officers are so fierce..... Thankfully you still dare to engage in tit for tat with them."

Jiang Li smiled slightly, "Nothing but a paper tiger." Since she was a child, she had been following Xue Huai Yuan and met many officers. Those uncles or elder brothers, when they took off their official clothing, were nothing but the most ordinary people. They would buy candies for her, touch her head, and fight the evil tyrants who bullied her.

It went without saying that Jiang Li was very familiar with people who wore official uniforms.

These officers who came today were not those uncles and elder brothers she was familiar with. Each face was a stranger. Without a doubt, Xue Huai Yuan's staff had all been purged. In exchange, the ones who remained at the moment were people who obeyed the current "master".

She wanted to see, in the end, what kind of divine person dared to make Tongxiang his personal fiefdom and tyrannically issued "complete silence by threat"; a "master" who was in a hurry to be Yongning's watchdog
