Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 109 Part 3: Seven Days
No one in Tongxiang would dare to ask this question now. Before Jiang Li was brought in by the officers, she said she asked around about the Xue family's matters because she wanted to meet him. But now that she had met him, she said that she wanted to meet him to ask about the Xue family's matter.
She's toying with them!
There's indignant and humiliation of being toyed with arising in Feng Yu Tang's heart and he shouted, "To actually ask about the criminal official Xue family's affair in front of this official, this official thinks all of you are the Xue family's accomplices. Come, arrest these accomplices of the Xue family!"
The officers immediately stepped forward to catch the people.
Ye Ming Yu took out his long sword and bellowed, "Who dares to move, I, your father, would chop his head!"
Ye Ming Yu's bluffing kung fu looked real, and the angry bellow nearly made Feng Yu Tang unsteady. He supported his skewed hat and said in exasperation, "What are you in a daze about, still haven't moved?!"
At this moment, Jiang Li suddenly chuckled.
At such a dangerous time, the beauty laughed, as if in the abyss of glints of knife rays, a dark crab apple flower bloomed, delicate and fierce, mesmerizing and shimmering with cold lights.
Everyone couldn't help looking at her.
Feng Yu Tang even looked straight at her and licked his lips.
It's not that there's no beauty in Tongxiang, but they were beauties from small families. Before, there was a Xue Fang Fei who could be considered as the best of the best. But before he could think of ways to possess her, he was already fixed by Xue Huai Yuan. Afterwards, Xue Fang Fei married far to Yanjing and he felt regretful for quite a long time. Supposed that Xue Fang Fei was still alive now, he would certainly fool around with her all day long in his residence.
Jiang Li saw the fluttering look in his eyes and knew what idea he had in his mind. She endured the loathing in her heart and showed a smile on her face instead. She said, "Master Feng, I'm Jiang Li."
Feng Yu Tang looked at her, "What Jiang Li?"
"I'm saying," Jiang Li spoke word by word, "My name is Jiang Li."
Jiang Li? Feng Yu Tang pondered. Tongxiang is not big, he knows most of the people's names living in Tongxiang. Even those that he didn't know of seem familiar. Jiang Li is definitely not someone from Tongxiang, because if she's someone from Tongxiang, he would never miss such a well-raised girl.
On the contrary, this time, Feng Yu Tang's heart eased. Though the uncle looked fierce, it's difficult for a pair of fists to match four hands. Sooner or later, he would not be able to walk out of this county yamen. A look could tell that this little beauty was tasty. It's better to leave her behind to taste slowly. At present, just treating her as fun and accompanying her to play was fine.
He leisurely said, "Why? The young lady informed this official your name, is it for the official to remember you and call your name?" His speech carried three parts of ambiguity.
The hall of officers burst into boisterous laughter. Where did it resemble a yamen, it more resembled a place where hooligans gathered, full of disorder.
Ye Ming Yu heard and was even more furious. He scolded, "Dog official, you dare!" At this moment, there's regret in his heart. He confidently brought Jiang Li here, thinking that in the end, it was a county yamen. No matter how excessive, they would still keep their appearance in the open. Just like Tong Zhi Yang in Xiangyang who still took the mouths of the common people into consideration. He didn't expect this county deputy of Tongxiang to be so insolent, his speech no different from a street bully. Even so much as to dare taking liberties of Jiang Li above the court of law. Truly very daring!
Jiang Li looked coldly at Feng Yu Tang's complacent attitude. Feng Yu Tang replaced all the officers following Xue Huai Yuan and placed his own people. Precisely what kind of dogs follow what kind of person. Yongning was sinister and vicious, thus there's a dog follower like Feng Yu Tang, this sinister and nasty person. Feng Yu Tang was greedy and lecherous, thus there's a group of 'officers' that made people disgusted.
This upright and honorable court of law was turned into a vulgar and dirty place.
Jiang Li said, "Master Feng is the lord in Tongxiang and knows each person's name in Tongxiang, which is a good official. All day long busy with official business, it's natural that you do not know me. After all, this is not Yanjing."
Originally, Feng Yu Tang was still smiling complacently while listening to Jiang Li. But when he heard the last few words, his smile gradually disappeared. He asked, "Yanjing?"
Jiang Li smiled indifferently as she looked at him.
Feng Yu Tang's heart thumped all of a sudden. He naturally knew Yanjing, the noble person who promoted him was precisely a noble from Yanjing. How, the pretty little lady in front of him was also a noble person from Yanjing, could she be someone dispatched by that Master? No no no, not possible. If that Master sent someone, there's no need to inquire about the Xue family. This little beauty clearly did not look like someone who came to hit Xue Huai Yuan when he's down.
He was apprehensive and opened his mouth to speak, "What kind of person are you in Yanjing?"
At this moment, Ye Ming Yu could clearly see and simply folded his arms on his chest, enjoying watching the scene while standing beside Jiang Li. Although he also did not like the regulations and restriction in officialdom, he had to admit that at times, an official title was still very useful. Especially when running into this kind of snobbish bastard, which was even more useful to employ.
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Even if Master Feng hasn't seen, you should have heard of the current head assistant, Chief Assistant Jiang's reputation. As luck would have it, I happen to be that Chief Assistant's legal daughter, ranked second in the Jiang family. Master Feng should call me by Miss Jiang second."
Her tone was neither light nor heavy, neither gloomy nor bright, however, it carried a perfect amount of ridicule. Even though she was smiling, there's some kind of disdain coming from a high position.
Feng Yu Tang was stunned. The officers surrounding Ye Ming Yu were immediately frightened as well. They were the local overlords in Tongxiang, but they were still aware of what kind of person Jiang Yuan Bai was. At his peak, half of the officials in the court were Jiang Yuan Bai's students. In this kind of place such as Tongxiang, Jiang Yuan Bai was a legendary figure. However, now Jiang Li claimed to be Jiang Yuan Bai's daughter. That was the honorable chief assistant's daughter. These people did not dare to think about what kind of ending they would get from offending the chief assistant's daughter.
"You you you....." Feng Yu Tang said a few "yous" in a row, unable to say another word.
The disdain at the bottom of Jiang Li's heart grew stronger. Even if letting Feng Yu Tang sit as a county deputy, his temper of trampling on the soft and afraid of the strong could not be changed. Once he met someone whose position was higher than him, his loftiness was immediately cut short.
