Marriage of the Di Daughter

Jiang Li and Ye Mingyu left with this team of officials.

In the tavern, the people who had just left gradually gathered again. They looked at the back of this pedestrian, and although they didn't speak, they exchanged glances. If the historian who recorded history saw it, he would be greatly alarmed. The current "road" in reality With the aim".

I don't know if he was afraid of Jiang Li's words, afraid of causing unnecessary trouble for himself, the leading officers and soldiers did not let their subordinates escort them forward. Instead, he stood between Jiang Li and Ye Mingyu. But Ye Mingyu looked calm, and Jiang Li smiled. It seemed that these officers and soldiers were like Ye family's guards, protecting their safety on both sides.

Jiang Li had walked the road from the tavern to the county government too many times. As she walked, she paid attention to the surroundings. Tongxiang is still the same Tongxiang, it looks the same as before, but Jiang Li found that the people have changed.

The people passing by around saw these officials, and they all walked around in a detour, and their expressions were panicked, as if they had seen bandits. And some familiar small shops on the street, some have closed down, and some have changed their appearance. The most obvious thing is that in Tongxiang in the past, the common people walked on the street with yellow hair hanging down, leisurely and contented. In today's Tongxiang, everyone is deeply tired and lifeless.

It seems that the new county magistrate who replaced Xue Huaiyuan's "adult" is not a good official who is honest and caring for the people. If you think about it, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, and a person who can work for Yongning knows what kind of virtue it is. When Jiang Li first came to Tongxiang, she didn't know what the identity of the person behind the scenes was doing these things, so she came up with the idea of ​​"striking the grass to scare the snake". Now that the snake was alerted and came to find it, it just confirmed her conjecture——Yongning He was looking for someone on the official road.

A person like Yongning who holds power in his hands and claims to be a golden branch and jade leaf is of course willing to dominate other people's lives to achieve his own disgusting pleasure. Pull down the original county magistrate and replace him with someone else. In order to please Yongning, the newcomer will naturally torture Xue Huaiyuan even harder to please Yongning.

Jiang Li's palms tightened.

Ye Mingyu saw her pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, so she lowered her head and whispered, "Ali, are you afraid?"

Jiang Li smiled: "Not afraid."

"I'm not afraid either." Ye Mingyu snorted softly, "But the person in charge in Tongxiang is really too arrogant. He really bullied the Emperor Shan Gao, and the monkey called him king."

"Isn't it?" Jiang Li said softly: "A villain will be rampant when he succeeds."

Ye Mingyu shrugged: "Anyway, if you stand behind me later, if there is any danger, these guards will take you away."

Jiang Li laughed, Ye Mingyu was used to walking in the world, and he did things like people in the world. If you can't beat it, run away. She smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, nothing will happen, I can handle it."

Seeing that she really didn't look worried, Ye Mingyu was relieved. Tong'er and Bai Xue were a little uneasy, and they hugged Jiang Li even tighter. If this were in Yanjing City, there would be nothing to be afraid of. Everyone would look at Jiang Yuanbai's face. But in this strange small county, others may not recognize Jiang Li, so what if they don't believe Jiang Li's identity.

Jiang Li didn't think so much, she knew that this trip was inevitable, and the confrontation with the other party was about to begin. She already knew.

At the time of two sticks of incense, it was time for the county government.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the county office, Ye Mingyu let out a little exclamation, and said, "This county office is quite big."

Jiang Li looked at the gate of the county government office, her eyes moved slightly.

When Xue Huaiyuan was in office, in order to reduce expenses, the county government continued to use the previous one, except when it was really difficult to see it, it had to be repaired, and the county government looked a little crude on weekdays.

However, the county government in front of me is completely different from before. The entire yamen was brand new with red lacquer, and the pillars were re-carved. Even the plaques have become bronzing.

This new county magistrate has a lot of money and knows how to enjoy it, but he doesn't know how to raise money for the money used for repairs.

Before they met, they began to care about the county magistrate.

The leading officers and soldiers said: "You guys wait here, I will report to the adults!"

Jiang Li nodded. She can even guess what the other party is going to do. If the county magistrate is a smart person, he will not underestimate the origin of their group, but in order to put on airs, they have to wait here for a while, the little one Take some pain.

But none of that matters.

Bai Xue said: "This is much more dignified than the county government in our hometown."

"Who knows what unintentional money is distributed." Ye Mingyu said disdainfully: "If he used the money from repairing the county government to help the poor, I don't think there will be so many beggars on the street."

Jiang Li said: "Uncle understands it."

"Of course." Ye Mingyu nodded triumphantly.

Sure enough, as Jiang Li expected, the other party did want to hang them out for a while. At least within a stick of incense, no one came out of the gate of the county government to greet them, and the officials in charge of guarding them didn't know anything about it. After standing for a long time without any tea to drink, Ye Mingyu was thirsty and asked impatiently, "What are these people dawdling about? Have you seen it yet?"

"Those who think they are great will always do some work to save face." Jiang Li said with a smile: "Just wait patiently, I think it will be soon."

"Why?" Ye Mingyu asked.

"He just wants to tell us to go in when we can't wait any longer. Since you are already impatient, Uncle, he feels relieved when he sees that you are not feeling well. Naturally, there is no need to make us wait any longer."

Ye Mingyu said angrily: "He just wanted to make us feel uncomfortable, right? Who is this?"

"I also want to see who this is." Jiang Li said with a smile.

After waiting patiently for a while, someone finally came out, but it was not the leading officer and soldier just now, but a general follower. Walking in front of Jiangli and the others, he looked them over and said, "My lord let you in."

Ye Mingyu snorted through his nose and said, "Don't be an adult, I'm not from Tongxiang, so what do I care about him?"

The attendant was probably also angry, but he was afraid of Ye Mingyu's fist as big as a sandbag, so he held back his anger and said, "Come in."

Only then did Jiang Li and Ye Mingyu catch up.

The more he walked into the county government office, Jiang Li realized that the inside was also completely new, not only the furnishings, but also all the official guards and even the tea-serving staff were completely new, without any familiar shadows.

It should be really because he was afraid of losing his tongue that he could not wait to destroy the evidence.

When they reached the main hall of the yamen, they saw a group of officials standing on both sides of the hall, holding sticks and looking fierce. Jiang Li and Ye Mingyu walked in, just like sinners who were brought up when they were promoted, and were about to accept their punishment.

The entourage said: "My lord, I brought it."

Jiang Li looked up.

Sitting on the high seat in front of the main hall is a middle-aged man with a thin body. The sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks of this life make people feel uncomfortable at first glance, especially the pair of hanging triangular eyes. When looking at people, they feel even more wretched . If it wasn't for people saying this, on weekdays, who would believe that this is the county magistrate. Although it is said that one cannot judge a person by his appearance, there is also a saying that people are born from the heart. This person has a wicked heart at first glance, saying that he is not far from a street hooligan, but the official is far from it.

His sitting posture is also not very correct, Jiang Li frowned slightly. The place where this person was sitting was Xue Huaiyuan's usual seat in the past. My father sits here to make decisions for the people, and this man sits here, as if he is crowned with a monkey, and his appearance is unpleasant, as if he has insulted the county government.

"It's because you want to find me?" The thin monkey-like official asked arrogantly.

Jiang Li caught a glimpse of this person's face, and felt that this person was somewhat familiar, and couldn't help wondering where he had seen this person before. Seeing Jiang Li, the man also looked at Jiang Li, and when he saw Jiang Li's appearance clearly, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

Ye Mingyu caught it immediately, and was furious in his heart. He shielded Jiang Li behind his back and almost cursed.

At this time, Jiang Li also suddenly remembered the identity of this person, Feng Yutang!

She was astonished, she did not expect that Feng Yutang would be the new county magistrate to succeed Xue Huaiyuan!

Jiang Li had seen Feng Yutang before. At the beginning, the old master's mother in the county government office was seriously ill and needed him to return home to take care of her, so the master resigned on his own initiative. Later, someone recommended Feng Yutang. Feng Yutang was a scholar in Tongxiang. He failed many times in the exams, but he could read and write well. Xue Huaiyuan brought him with him, thinking that Feng Yutang would do well if he got this job. Who knew that Feng Yutang was in the yamen, greedy for people's money, colluding with lawyers, playing tricks among them, trying to influence Xue Huaiyuan's judgment.

Later this matter was discovered by Xue Huaiyuan, Xue Huaiyuan was furious, but Feng Yutang made a lot of money because of it. Xue Huaiyuan expelled Feng Yutang from the county government. I remember that Feng Yutang threatened to make Xue Huaiyuan pay the price, and was almost chased out by Xue Zhao to give him another beating.

I didn't expect to see Feng Yutang again here now, and he really fulfilled his promise at the beginning, he took Xue Huaiyuan's position, and put Xue Huaiyuan in prison!

Jiang Li's heart turned cold in an instant, no wonder, no wonder it was him, let a person who already harbored resentment towards Xue Huaiyuan sit in this position, without Yongning's reminder, Feng Yutang would only torture Xue Huaiyuan more severely, trying everything The method made Xue Huaiyuan's life worse than death.

Seeing Ye Mingyu blocking Jiang Li behind him, Feng Yutang looked a little disappointed, coughed lightly, and shouted: "Who is here? You are making trouble in Tongxiang, why?"

Jiang Li turned sideways, passed Ye Mingyu, and looked at Feng Yutang calmly.

At the beginning, Xue Huaiyuan hated Feng Yutang because Feng Yutang was greedy and shameless. Jiang Li hated Feng Yutang because when she was still Xue Fangfei, Feng Yutang would use a kind of wet clatter every time she met Feng Yutang when she went to visit her father. His sticky eyes fixed on her. She hated that look extremely, as if she had become someone else's prey, so she had to stay away from it.

Not seen for many years, Feng Yutang, who has become the magistrate of the county, is still stubborn, but this time, she will not stay away from him, and insists on peeling him off.

"We didn't make trouble." Jiang Li smiled and said, "We just came to see you, my lord."

She spoke softly, her expression was much gentler than Ye Mingyu's, and she was an elegant and beautiful woman. Feng Yutang's squinting eyes swept over Jiang Li, although her tone was moderate, but she still had a bit of pretentious arrogance, and said: "Oh? What did you do when you saw me?"

At first glance, these people were not from Tongxiang, but they inquired about Xue Huaiyuan's affairs everywhere in Tongxiang. He got an explanation from the beginning, so he didn't dare to take it lightly, and never thought of his subordinates to say that these people seem to be not ordinary people, and they came here specially. his. Feng Yutang has been an official for a short time, but he is well versed in the old ways. Now you come and chat with me, it is actually a temptation. But the result of the temptation, not only didn't let him know anything, but made him even more confused.

Jiang Li looked at her, opened her red lips lightly, and uttered a sentence: "We came to see Mr. Feng to find out why Xue Huaiyuan, the former Tongxiang County Prime Minister, was imprisoned."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room fell silent.

What puzzled Ye Mingyu and the others was that no one had mentioned the surname of this lord along the way, so why did Jiang Li know that it was called "Master Feng" as soon as she came? When did she know it? Heard this morning?

What shocked Feng Yutang was that Jiang Li dared to ask this question in front of him!

No one in Tongxiang dares to ask this question now. When Jiang Li was brought by the officers and soldiers before, she said that the reason for inquiring about the Xue family was to meet herself. But seeing herself now, she said that she saw him to ask about the Xue family.

She is juggling them!

Feng Yutang immediately felt a kind of rage and humiliation of being played with, and shouted: "You actually asked about the guilty minister Xue's family in front of me. I see that you are the Xue family's accomplices. Come here and give me all the Xue family's accomplices." Take it!"

The officers and soldiers around were about to step forward to arrest people immediately.

Ye Mingyu pulled out the long knife and said loudly: "Who the hell dares to move, I will chop his head off!"

Ye Mingyu still had the ability to bluff people, and he let Feng Yutang hardly sit still with his angry roar. He helped the crooked hat, and said angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you make a move?!"

At this moment, Jiang Li suddenly smiled softly.

At such a dangerous time, the beauty smiled lightly, as if a dark crabapple bloomed in the abyss shining with the light of the knife, tender and vicious, stunning and cold.

Everyone looked at her involuntarily.

Feng Yutang looked straight ahead and licked his lips.

There are not no beauties in Tongxiang, but they are all petty beauties. Once upon a time, there was Xue Fangfei, who was considered the best of the best, but before he managed to get it, Xue Huaiyuan took him down. Later, Xue Fangfei married Yanjing, and he regretted it for a long time. If Xue Fangfei was still alive today, he would definitely be taken to his own house, where he would be in ecstasy all day long.

Seeing Feng Yutang's fluttering eyes, Jiang Li knew what his plan was. Resisting the disgust in her heart, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Master Feng, I am Jiang Li."

Feng Yutang looked at her: "What ginger pear?"

"I mean," Jiang Li paused, "My name is Jiang Li."

Ginger pear? Feng Yutang thought about it in his mind, Tongxiang is not big, and he can name most of the people in Tongxiang. Even those who can't name them are familiar. And Jiang Li is definitely not from Tongxiang, because if such an outstanding woman is from Tongxiang, he would not miss it from the beginning.

At this time, Feng Yutang felt relieved. Although the big man looked fierce, he was hard to beat with two fists, and sooner or later he would not be able to get out of the county office. This little beauty seems to have a taste, why don't you stay and taste it slowly, now, it's just a fun, it's good to play with her.

He said slowly: "What? The lady told me your name so that I can remember you, can't I call you by your name?" There was a bit of ambiguity in these words.

All the officials in the room burst into laughter. This doesn't look like a county government office, but it looks like a place where hooligans and hooligans gather, full of mobs.

When Ye Mingyu heard this, he became even more furious, and scolded: "How dare you!" At this moment, he secretly regretted it. Before, he brought Jiangli here confidently, thinking that it was the county government, no matter how much he went too far, he would always show it on the surface. Just like Tong Zhiyang in Xiangyang, he also has to take into account the mouths of the people. He didn't expect that the county magistrate in Tongxiang would be so shameless, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a street ruffian. It's really audacious to even dare to molest Jiangli in court!

Jiang Li looked at Feng Yutang's complacent look with cold eyes. Feng Yutang replaced all the officials who followed Xue Huaiyuan and replaced them all with his own people. And there is a dog for every kind of person. Yongning is cruel and venomous, and there are dogs for sinister villains like Feng Yutang. Feng Yutang is greedy and lustful, and there are a group of disgusting 'officers and soldiers'.

Turn this sunny court into a dirty and dirty place.

Jiang Li said: "Master Feng is the head of Tongxiang. He knows the names of every citizen in Tongxiang. He is a good official. He is busy with official duties all day long. It is natural that he does not know me. After all, this is not Yanjing."

Feng Yutang was still listening to Jiang Li with a smug smile, but when he heard the last few words, his smile gradually disappeared, and he asked, "Yanjing."

Jiang Li looked at him with a faint smile.

Feng Yutang's heart skipped a beat, of course he knew about Yanjing, and the nobleman who promoted him was the nobleman of Yanjing. Why, this pretty little beauty in front of me is also a nobleman from Yanjing, could it be that the master sent him? No, no, no, it's impossible, the master didn't have to ask about Xue's family when he sent someone, this little beauty obviously didn't come here to throw Xue Huaiyuan into trouble.

He was startled and suspicious, and asked, "Who are you from Yanjing?"

Ye Mingyu saw it now, and stood beside Jiang Li with his arms crossed, as if watching the excitement. Although he doesn't like people in the officialdom to stick to the rules, but he has to admit that sometimes, an official title is quite useful, especially when encountering such a guy who sees people as inferior, it is more accurate to use one.

Jiang Li smiled and said: "Even if Master Feng has never seen it, he should have heard of the reputation of the first assistant Jiang Shoufu. Unfortunately, I am the daughter of Jiang Shoufu, the second daughter of the Jiang family. Master Feng should call me, Second Miss Jiang."

Her tone was neither light nor serious, neither yin nor yang, but just right with a hint of sarcasm, although she was smiling, there was a kind of condescending contempt.

Feng Yutang was stunned, and the officials surrounding Ye Mingyu were also startled. They are bullies in Tongxiang, but they also know who Jiang Yuanbai is. In its heyday, almost half of the officials in the imperial court were students of Jiang Yuanbai. In a place like Tongxiang, Jiang Yuanbai is a legendary figure, but now Jiang Li claims to be Jiang Yuanbai's daughter, that is, the serious daughter of the first assistant. These people dare not even think about the fate of offending the first minister's daughter.

"You, you, you..." Feng Yutang said the word "you" several times in succession, but was speechless.

The disdain in Jiang Li's heart was even stronger, even if Feng Yutang was made the county magistrate, the bullying temperament in his bones could not be changed. Once he met someone with a higher status than himself, his momentum softened a bit.

Perhaps she should thank Jiang Yuanbai, at least the name of Miss Jiang Er can save her a lot of trouble.

"Jiang, Second Miss Jiang," Feng Yutang called out bluntly, with sweat dripping from his forehead, "Why did you come to see the lower official?"

Ye Mingyu laughed out loud with a "poof", Feng Yutang's expression changed really quickly from "this official" to "lower official". Such a person can also be a county magistrate, and he feels sympathy for the people of Tongxiang.

"Didn't I say that?" Jiang Li said, "I came to Master Feng just to ask why Xue's family was sealed off, and why was Xue Xiancheng imprisoned?"

Feng Yutang looked at Jiang Li, thinking quickly in his mind, from Jiang Li's words, it can be concluded that she is definitely not on the side of Princess Yongning. How could the people of Princess Yongning not know about the Xue family. It's just that Ms. Jiang Er came here suddenly to ask about this matter. I don't know if it was a whim or another purpose.

But he must not do anything that Princess Yongning asked.

Feng Yutang said sternly: "The Xue family was caught in the wind because the criminal Xue Huaiyuan embezzled the relief money. The evidence is solid. The court severely punished corrupt officials, so he was sent to prison."

"Oh?" This was Jiang Li's expected answer. She asked, "The evidence is solid."

"good."

"That's right," Jiang Li nodded, and said helplessly, "Then there is no other way."

Feng Yutang was overjoyed, and before he could speak, Jiang Li raised his head again and looked at him with a smile: "Then, Master Feng, can I go see this criminal Xue Huaiyuan?"

Feng Yutang was stunned, and Ye Mingyu also looked at Jiang Li in surprise.

"Second Miss Jiang, what are you..." Feng Yutang didn't finish speaking, seeing Jiang Li's calm expression, his heart moved, and he suddenly understood. Miss Jiang Er couldn't have come on a whim, how could the dignified chief minister's daughter attach so much importance to a prisoner. Although she didn't ask about Xue Huaiyuan, she asked to see Xue Huaiyuan. She wanted bad things!

Remembering his master's instructions, Feng Yutang said: "Second Miss Jiang, according to Beiyan's law, death row prisoners cannot be visited."

"Death row?" Jiang Li's smile disappeared in an instant.

"Yes." Feng Yutang said: "According to the case file, the criminal Xue Huaiyuan should have been executed half a year ago, but then he suddenly lost his sanity and was delayed for a while. Now seven days later, he should be beheaded at the Meridian Gate."

Ye Mingyu and Tonger Baixue looked at Jiangli together.

Although they didn't quite understand what Jiang Li was going to do, but now several people could see that Jiang Li wanted to vindicate Xue Huaiyuan County Prime Minister and rescue him from prison. But now Feng Yutang said that Xue Huaiyuan will be executed in seven days? Didn't Jiangli make a trip in vain?

Jiang Li sneered in her heart, was it delayed for a while? Presumably Yongning wanted to torture Xue Huaiyuan for a while longer. Now that time has passed enough, Xue Fangfei is already dead, and tormenting Xue Huaiyuan is not of much interest to Yongning, so he will be "executed" so happily.

"Master Feng is lying to me?" Jiang Li smiled faintly, "Isn't it because I was afraid of what I would do to Xue Xiancheng, and there would be setbacks, so I made a hasty decision. decision?"

Feng Yutang was so blocked that he couldn't help it. He suddenly thought of something, rolled his eyes, and said with a smirk: "This is true. If Miss Jiang Er doesn't believe it, you can write back to Yanjing City and ask your superiors. But... I don't understand the matter, you say you are Miss Jiang Er, do you have evidence? If there is no evidence, do you know what the crime is for pretending to be a family member of the imperial court official?"

"Of course I know what the crime is. But, can Master Feng not see whether I am the real Second Miss Jiang?" Jiang Li asked back.

Feng Yutang looked at Jiang Li, his palms sweating.

He intuitively felt that this little beauty with a clear mind was indeed the real Second Miss Jiang. Among other things, it is her confidence that makes people beyond doubt. However, he couldn't just admit it like that, Second Miss Jiang was clearly here for Xue's family, she seemed to want to protect Xue's family, he had the order of Princess Yongning, and he must not let this happen. I can only pretend not to believe it, kill it first and play it later, if it's a big deal, I will make amends with Miss Jiang after the incident, and at most I will miss someone who doesn't know the person clearly. But if Xue Huaiyuan was let go, and Princess Yongning blamed him, ten heads would not be enough for him to lose.

Besides, behind him is Princess Yongning, the younger sister of King Cheng. So what if Miss Jiang Er's father is the chief assistant? After all, he was just a courtier, so King Cheng might be going to sit on the throne in the future. To King Cheng, Jiang Yuanbai wanted to be courteous. If it was true that the Second Miss Jiang would not let him go, he would move out Princess Yongning to see who was afraid of whom?

Thinking of this, Feng Yutang felt at ease again, and was about to speak when he heard Jiang Li call "Master Feng".

"Master Feng," Jiang Li said indifferently: "I advise you, it's best not to pretend not to believe my identity and make amends afterwards. In fact, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, I specially brought a Father's warrant." She slowly took out a warrant from her sleeve, wrapped it around her hand casually, but people could clearly see the handwriting on the warrant, it was undoubtedly Jiang Yuanbai's seal.

Feng Yutang's heart sank.

In this way, it is impossible for him to open his eyes and tell lies. With such evidence, he has to admit Jiang Li's identity as the daughter of the chief minister. With such an identity, Jiang Li will no longer have restrictions on what she says and does, and she will be more free.

This is not a good thing.

While thinking about countermeasures, I heard Jiang Li's calm voice again.

Jiang Li said: "I know that Mr. Feng's master has a lot of background. With this, Mr. Feng can act without restraint. But Mr. Feng should have heard a saying that tells the gods to fight, and the kid suffers."

"Whether Mr. Feng is a god or a kid, you should know yourself." She said.

To make a little digression, the comment area has been very intense recently. It's normal. Every book will be controversial. Some babies like to watch the emotional line, and some like to follow the plot. Old friends who follow Chacha know the habit of Chacha, the main plot is interspersed with emotional lines.
