Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 110 Part 1: Rescue
“Master Feng should be aware whether you are an immortal or a demon.”
Jiang Li’s words just fell but Feng Yu Tang’s complexion had turned extremely unsightly. The unspoken implication in Jiang Li’s words was of course could be made out by him. Jiang Li was the noble daughter of the chief assistant, his Master was Princess Yongning. When Jiang Li and Princess Yongning confronted each other, they both had formidable families as their backing while he was just a very small county deputy, which was an indisputable fact. In any event, it was a trivial thing to sacrifice him.
Feng Yu Tang felt tangled, Jiang Li came too suddenly, not giving him any time to deal with her. However, in the brief conversation, he felt that Jiang Li was not someone that could be dismissed easily. She had her own views, in addition, she had the sophistication that was not like a 15 – 16 years old girl.
She even made people feel a bit scared.
“Miss Jiang second, this lower official,” Feng Yu Tang smiled and said apologetically, “this lower official is just following orders, please don’t make it difficult.”
“Following orders?” Jiang Li laughed, “Master Feng, in Tongxiang you say one means one, no one dares to disobey your orders. County deputy Xue’s case will also be decided by you. You are the heaven in Tongxiang, whose command are you accepting orders from? Why don’t you let me listen, perhaps I’m still well acquainted with the person in Yanjing.”
Feng Yu Tang broke out in cold sweat, of course he could not bring up Princess Yongning’s name. He forced a smile and said, “This lower official just handled affairs in accordance with the rules. Miss Jiang second, this lower official doesn’t understand what you actually wish to do. If you wish to ask about the Xue family’s matter, this lower official has reported it. Now what else do you wish to do?”
Feng Yu Tan was originally a bully. At this moment, he assumed his rascal face, no one could do anything to him. Yes! There are so many people here, Jiang Li has no manpower, anyway, she cannot ask people to break into jail. Even if she breaks into jail, she will implicate both the Ye family and the Jiang family. I, Feng Yu Tang, have already shown clearly that I’ve recognized your identity and respect you. But still you must not push away a death execution. What can you do to me?
Ye Ming Yu frowned. This was the first time he met such a county deputy who behaved so shamelessly. Don’t tell him he’s not afraid of facing Jiang Yuan Bai’s wrath later?
Only Jiang Li understood why Feng Yu Tang dared to act shamelessly. It was because he relied on Princess Yongning as his backer, as long as he got the task handed down by Princess Yongning done well, everything would be fine.
Although she came forward this time wanting to meet her father in prison, however, before they came to the yamen, Jiang Li already guessed that it could not be achieved smoothly. No problem, at least she had met this new county deputy that had just taken office, Feng Yu Tang. She had intersections with Feng Yu Tang before and knew what kind of person he was. “Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles”, this trip was not entirely fruitless.
Feng Yu Tang calmly looked at Jiang Li. Now that he had a well thought out plan in mind, he felt that Jiang Li would not do anything to him. In any case, she would not let someone capture him, this county deputy. A chief assistant’s daughter behaved like this, it’s a wonder if the censor did not seize this Jiang Yuan Bai.
“I do not wish to do anything,” Jiang Li smiled slightly and spoke amiably to him. “I’ve said it, I came to ask why the Xue house is sealed. For the case file, as long as the higher authorities order it, it can be looked over. Tongxiang is under Xiangyang’s jurisdiction, I’ve already asked for the lawsuit in Xiangyang, thus can look at the Xue family’s files.” Jiang Li took out an investigative warrant from her sleeve, indicating Tong’er to pass it up. She smiled and said, “Master Feng, the investigative warrant is here, I can take a look at the Xue family’s files, right?”
Feng Yu Tang was stunned.
This county deputy was given to him by Princess Yongning. Could become an official, even if it was a small Tongxiang county official, Feng Yu Tang was as happy as picking up a huge bargain. It should be known that being in this position, he could rake in a lot of money. As a county deputy, he would not be as stupid as Xue Huai Yuan and truly work for the people. And because he was arranged by Yongning, he had never undergone the official’s examination. He should be unaware of anything regarding an investigative warrant. What investigative warrants, he was completely clueless and in the end, subconsciously, after seeing the official seal of Xiangyang magistrate on the warrant, he hesitated for a bit before nodding and ordered the person beside him to find the files to give to Jiang Li.
Ye Ming Yu did not remember when Jiang Li went to look for Tong Zhi Yang and ask for this thing. Moreover, Tong Zhi Yang and the Ye family’s relations were like this, how could he issue an investigative warrant for Jiang Li so easily?
The corner of Jiang Li’s lips raised in a smile. This warrant, said as an investigative warrant, but also not an investigative warrant. It also wasn’t personally drawn up by Tong Zhi Yang. It’s borrowed from Tang Fan’s hand, using the Yanjing Weaving Unit warrant to get Tong Zhi Yang’s official seal. Tang Fan still wanted to build a connection with Jiang Yuan Bai in Yanjing and would naturally help her. And Jiang Li was fully aware of the shortcomings in Northern Yan’s official system, thus was able to use this loophole with the purpose of personally checking Xue family’s case files.
Since she heard from Qiong Zhi that Xue Huai Yuan was imprisoned, Jiang Li must see his file and search for any omission inside. In order to prepare early, Jiang Li made this investigative warrant. But now that she’d met Feng Yu Tang, she knew she did not need to spend so much thought. Feng Yu Tang simply did not understand, a mere rogue who wat, drink and be merry. She only needed to make up a decent excuse and Feng Yu Tang would definitely be convinced.
Tong’er took the file and handed it to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li glanced at the file, verifying that it was correct before showing a smile to Feng Yu Tang. She said, “Many thanks, Master Feng. I don’t have anything else.”
Feng Yu Tang already had some headaches dealing with Jiang Li. Hearing Jiang Li said so, he was eager for Jiang Li to go without delay. He’s going to send a letter to Princess Yongning using a pigeon, see what the reply would be. This Jiang family’s second miss clearly wanted to re-investigate Xue Huai Yuan’s case. Though he did not understand how Xue Huai Yuan could pull relations with the chief assistant’s daughter, Feng Yu Tang was not willing for slip-ups to later occur at a critical juncture. He would have to take the consequences for provoking Princess Yongning’s wrath.
“Ok ok ok.” Feng Yu Tang smiled until his eyes narrowed and said, “Miss Jiang second is leaving…..”
“I’m not leaving.” Jiang Li said, “I want to stay in Tongxiang for a few days.”
