Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 116 Part 3: Protect

This was something that she wanted. The file and the official were already here, the only thing lacking was just the people of Tongxiang. As long as some of the people of Tongxiang could be persuaded to go to the capital, the day when the case would be revealed was not far.

“Okay!” Ye Ming Yu patted his thigh, “We have done so many things, soon victory will be in sight. As long as we can move the people of Tongxiang, the Xue family’s case can be reversed. Feng Yu Tang, that scoundrel, can also be brought to justice. This old man already found him displeasing the first time seeing him. He’s such a bastard, but can be a county deputy, damn it!”

Ye Ming Yu’s angry and vulgar words all came out, but Jiang Li did not mind. She sighed softly, there’s a layer of worry between her brows. “Actually, the last step is the most difficult.”

Since ancient times, kings knew the principle of obtaining the people’s hearts is equal to obtaining the world. Regardless of whom, wanting to win over the public sentiment was not an easy matter. Especially if this public sentiment was under life threats.

In fact, she also wasn’t certain, she was the least sure when it came to public sentiment.

But she still had to try.

…… This night seemed to pass especially long. Many people in this small county had a sleepless night. When it was very late at night, the moon quietly disappeared, the wind blew, swirling the leaves on the street with a rustling sound, the red lanterns hung under the eaves of the houses swayed violently. The calmer the town, the more it seemed that an unavoidable storm was brewing.

In the early morning, Tongxiang, which had not had snow for over ten years, suddenly began to snow outside.

The snow was not as rough as Yanjing, falling gently, as big as a small granule, carrying a sparkling light. Some hung on the branches, covering layer by layer, forming a crystal like curtain. It’s obvious that this small town was not bustling, but the gentleness made people intoxicated.

Jiang Li was woken up by Tong’er.

Tong’er’s pained voice was on her ear, “Why is Miss sleeping on the table? Did you not go to bed last night?

Jiang Li stretched and said, “It’s okay.”

She sent Tong’er and Bai Xue away last night and kept writing throughout the night. The 568 households in Tongxiang, each household had received Xue Huai Yuan’s grace. There’s not enough time for her to make a house visit to each household herself. She could only share the task with Ye Ming Yu’s people. With this ‘book of favor’, it would be more vigorous when Ye Ming Yu persuaded those people. Hopefully it would also make it easier.

She was writing and writing, unconsciously, she leaned over and fell asleep on the table. The weird thing was, when she woke up, she didn’t feel that much exhaustion. Jiang Li stood up, pushed the windows open and a snowflake floated inside. She stared in a daze and said, “It’s snowing.”

“Yes, it’s snowing.” Tong’er also looked outside.

She had lived in Tongxiang for ten years, but this was the first time she saw snow in Tongxiang. She didn’t know what it signified, perhaps it was the start of a new beginning.

Jiang Li’s eyes were slowly filled with a trace of a smile. She said, “Very good.”

On the other side, Feng Yu Tang arrived at the county yamen early in the morning and put on his official uniform.

First snow in Tongxiang after more than 10 years, it was also cold, and he sneezed again and again. He wiped his nose. and the servant boy sent a cup of warm tea. Feng Yu Tang reclined on a chair while grumbling, “It’s so cold today.”

“Yes,” The servant boy said, “the lanterns by the gate were all blown away by the wind.”

Feng Yu Tang looked outside and asked, “the people who went out last night have not returned?”

The servant boy said, “Not yet.”

“No rules!” Feng Yu Tang said angrily. The three assassins from Princess Yongning did not put him in their eyes and ordered his people around sometimes. Feng Yu Tang did not dare to say anything. There’s no way, who made them Princess Yongning’s subordinates? Moreover, he still had to rely on those people if something came up on his side. Therefore, although he was dissatisfied, Feng Yu Tang could only complain behind their backs.

Presumably, after the three people finished their work last night, they brought his people to do something, Feng Yu Tang thought resentfully. It never occurred to him that the matter of assassinating Jiang Li would not be completed. In his view, Princess Yongning’s subordinates were extremely skillful. Jiang Li, just a little girl, Ye Ming Yu’s group of people, though they could fight, in the end, they were not killers. Jiang Li being killed under the hands of those people was a fact that could not be doubted.

Feng Yu Tang smacked his lips when thinking of Jiang Li’s tender and pretty face and felt unfortunate. If it were not for Jiang Li’s identity, he definitely would not easily let such a little beauty die. Let’s talk about it again later after he finished playing with her. Speaking of which, Jiang Li was not bad, plus she was Jiang Yuan Bai’s daughter. Dead just like that in Tongxiang, her fate could be considered bad. But then again, if it wasn’t due to her courting disaster onto herself and insisted on transferring the investigation of Xue Huai Yuan’s case file, it wouldn’t go as far as this. So, her death was deserved.

But Jiang Li, a little girl, should not have any intersection with the Xue family. Without rhyme or reason, why did she want to transfer the investigation of the Xue family’s case? Could it be her father’s intention? He could not block Jiang Li and still took Jiang Li’s life. If Jiang Yuan Bai knew, wouldn’t he be starting a feud with the Jiang family? Feng Yu Tang felt anxious. He did work on behalf of someone else and started ruthlessly. But with regards to Jiang Yuan Bai, he always felt three parts afraid. After all, Jiang Yuan Bai was not an ordinary official, but the chief scholar.

Thinking of this, he unconsciously felt jittery. At first, he waited early in the morning for someone to announce Jiang Li’s death, as a result, there wasn’t any movement till now. Feng Yu Tang felt vaguely uneasy. He endured his utmost and urged the servant boy beside him, “Send someone to see if they are in the Flower Tavern?”

Right at that time, someone suddenly ran staggeringly from outside. Once he entered, he stumbled from running in haste and his nose fell onto Feng Yu Tang’s shoes. He shouted, “Master! Master! It’s not good!”

Feng Yu Tang was already irritable. Hearing the words, he kicked him and said, “What are you shouting about? What’s not good?”

“Master….. It, it’s better for you to go to the back of the yamen and personally take a look!” The subordinate’s face showed a frightened look.

Feng Yu Tang saw the situation and his heart knew that it’s not good. Without saying much, he went to the backyard in two and three steps.
