Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 119 Part 1: Father

They did not seem to have to ask the remaining few hundreds of household one by one.

The people who suddenly poured out were enough to be Xue Huai Yuan’s witnesses. Moreover, these people heard Jiang Li said that they needed to enter Yanjing to reverse the verdict for Xue Huai Yuan, and one after another expressed their willingness to go. At this point, they did not have to be worried about the problem of having enough people like before.

Ye Ming Yu was very happy, patting his chest and ensuring everyone that he would provide the carriage and lodging in the capital. Tong’s er and Bai Xue were also very happy. Ye Ming Yu, who got some free time, said to Jiang Li, “Ah Li, now that we have completed the task ahead of time, what should we do?”

“There are so many people now, Feng Yu Tang’s men were half solved. The unarmed people already have deep grudge against Feng Yu Tang from earlier, it’s time to let them vent their anger. Sooner or later, the order from Xiangyang will come down, since Feng Yu Tang is fond to proclaim himself as ruler in Tongxiang, this time, let him taste the feeling of being ruled by people. Uncle, take these people to the yamen, we are going to sing a drama called, ‘Tie the official and go to the palace hall’.”

“I’ve only heard of ‘Tie the son to go to the palace hall’, never heard of ‘Tie the official to go to the palace hall’.” Ye Ming Yu was delighted.

“I’ve never seen it either, so have to carefully experience it first-hand. There’s no time to lose, I think Feng Yu Tang should have received this news and plot to counter it. We must not let him escape and must catch him. Waiting for the order from Tong Zhi Yang to come down with ease, then release County Deputy Xue from prison and escort the official to enter the capital.”

Ye Ming Yu heard this and loudly said, “good”. He was most fond of doing this quickly without a moment of hesitation. These days could be considered as sullen to death. Now he was finally able to raise his eyebrows to blow off steam, catching Feng Yu Tang who he had seen unpleasing to the eye. This was truly a good thing!

“Go go go!” Ye Ming Yu said impatiently.

……

It was extremely quiet today in the yamen.

Feng Yu Tang was sitting in the room, waiting for people to come with a carriage.

He could not leave from the official residence, because he knew that this road to escape would be dangerous. Therefore, even his most doted concubine was not brought along. He only brought the gold, silver and valuables he had raked in during his time as a parent official in Tongxiang. If his subordinates in the residence and those little concubines were to find out that he swept up all these things and was running away, they would definitely be noisy. At that time, Jiang Li and her group of people would be alarmed and he could no longer walk away.

When Feng Yu Tang found out yesterday that Jiang Li went from door to door to inquire whether there was anybody willing to be a witness, he immediately knew Jiang Li’s intention. No wonder, no wonder Jiang Li’s group of people was able to solve Princess Yongning’s assassins calmly, yet not willing to move a finger on him. Presumably, since Jiang Li was not even afraid of Princess Yongning, how could she be afraid of a person who played a little role like him. Keeping him alive was in order to rescue Xue Huai Yuan!

Only if he’s alive, when Xue Huai Yuan’s case was retried, his crimes would wash away Xue Huai Yuan’s injustice!

When he figured it out, Feng Yu Tang felt hate and anxiety. When he was driven out by Xue Huai Yuan from the yamen that year, in his heart, he detested Xue Huai Yuan’s method of not showing mercy. Afterwards, feng shui turned. Who made Xue Huai Yuan offended Princess Yongning. Xue Huai Yuan was sent to jail and he often instructed the jailer to serve Xue Huai Yuan “carefully”. He was now complacent with the spring breeze, but halfway, a chief assistant daughter suddenly attacked. She wanted to redress Xue Huai Yuan’s injustice, not only that, she almost succeeded.

Xue Huai Yuan was truly born to be his nemesis!

Jiang Li indeed had this idea, but Feng Yu Tang did not wish to do so. Xue Huai Yuan was now a handicap and had gone mad. Just for this useless person, he paid such a huge sacrifice. Moreover, once Xue Huai Yuan’s verdict was reversed, the person who would take over Xue Huai Yuan’s place would be him. Although Princess Yongning was his master, she would never make a big move for a small person such as him.

Jiang Li said something that was really true, the immortals fight, the little demons suffer a calamity. He had self-knowledge, he was not an immortal, but a little demon that would possibly suffer a calamity at any given moment. So that’s why he had to search for a way to survive. He already had no way to stop Jiang Li from overturning Xue Huai Yuan’s case. He had messed up his errand, Princess Yongning might wipe his opportunity to live at any time. In addition, he offended Jiang Yuan Bai’s daughter. If he did not walk away now, then when? As a result, first thing in the morning today, he went to the yamen, moved all his boxes here, brought a few of his trusted aides, and just waiting for a carriage to come before going on his way without delay.

By the time Jiang Li found enough people willing to be witnesses, seven days days, he would have walked far. As for how Jiang Li and Princess Yongning fight, let them go at each other, he would have made his getaway. Everything no longer had anything to do with him!

In the midst of his thoughts, Feng Yu Tangabruptly heard some movements from outside. He shook excitedly, promptly stood up from his seat and instructed his trusted aid to hurriedly lift those boxes containing banknotes and antiques. He then took the lead to walk outside while speaking with dissatisfaction, “I’ve said it, move quietly, what to do if discovered by other people?”

Feng Yu Tang had just spoken and arrived at the yamen’s entrance. His voice rapidly disappeared and he was stunned.

Standing in front of him were Ye Ming Yu and Jiang Li.

“Master Feng.” Jiang Li smiled at him.

Feng Yu Tang smiled with difficulty in return as he suddenly felt uneasy. Jiang Li smiled gently, even Ye Ming Yu gave him a meaningful smile. This man who was born like a bandit had always been cold to him, when was he ever this polite?

“Miss Jiang second.” Feng Yu Tang hid the calculation in his heart and asked Jiang Li, “Why did the two of you come so early? Is there any matter in looking for this official?”

This attitude, compared to when he first met with Jiang Li, was as different as the sky and the earth. A trace of disdain flashed in Ye Ming Yu’s eyes. Looking at such a person who stepped on the low and held the tall, the more you saw him, the more dirty you felt.

Jiang Li did not reply to Feng Yu Tang, instead, she looked behind Feng Yu Tang and asked in surprise, “Why is Master Feng moving so many boxes, are you going faraway?”

Feng Yu Tang’s heart gave a “thud”. He turned around hurriedly and used his eyes to tell his subordinates to move the boxes back. He apologetically said, “How is it possible? These were things that were seized before, and were about to be returned.”

“I see.” Jiang Li smiled, “That’s good. I thought Master Feng was about to go faraway. There’s some difficulty, if Master Feng went far, it’s hard to handle in the future. There’s some things that I want to ask Master Feng’s help with.”
