Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 124 Part 2: Opponent

Emperor Hong Xiao looked at the memorial in front of him, the indictment that Ye Shijie presented was naturally filled with County Deputy Feng Yu Tang’s offenses as well as the course of Xue Huai Yuan’s injustice. Objectively speaking, it was clear as day, enough for him, as the emperor, to fly into a rage. However, relying on this and beating the drum crying injustice was still okay, but it’s a bit too much in front of the emperor. Jiang Li bringing so many commoners from Tongxiang to enter the capital made the common people in Yanjing pay attention to them. If this case was not handled well, he, as the emperor, would lose the people’s hearts. Therefore, Jiang Li was also giving him trouble.

Weighing the pros and cons, Emperor Hong Xiao must not pay too much attention to this case. He even had to point out to Jiang Yuan Bai to teach his daughter properly. After all, what’s the affair of the county deputy of Tongxiang have anything to do with her? Her surname was not Xue.

However, in the indictment presented by Ye Shijie, something was mentioned vaguely, and this was a major matter. It was mentioned that the Master behind Feng Yu Tang was the Princess Yongning in Yanjing. Including the matter of Xue Huaiyuan’s imprisonment was also instructed by Princess Yongning.

Princess Yongning was Cheng Wang’s biological sister. Emperor Hong Xiao could not help suspecting the purpose of Princess Yongning’s action. Targeting the Xue family, whether it was Cheng Wang’s plan. It seemed that there was also no relationship between Princess Yongning and the Xue family. Without any reason, why did she want to harm Xue Huaiyuan? Xue Huaiyuan was in Tongxiang, Yongning stayed in Yanjing, it’s impossible for Xue Huaiyuan to have offended Yongning.

Firstly, it’s strange. Secondly, even if the investigation came up with nothing, as long as this matter was carried out, Yongning’s reputation would receive a blow. For Cheng Wang, it might not necessarily be a good thing. As long as Cheng Wang’s rebellious heart was not dead, he should cherish his feathers. His own sister was this ruthless and committed such misdeeds, afraid his feathers were useless.

Therefore this case must be examined. Not just examined, but tried so that the whole world would know. The best purpose could only be achieved with him personally overseeing.

This time, Emperor Hong Xiao saw the cousins, Ye Shijie and Jiang Li, as pleasing to his eyes. If this case did not involve Princess Yongning, then it was just an ordinary case. If it involved Princess Yongning, it would be an exceptionally good sword for Emperor Hong Xiao.

He would not push away the sword handed by others to him. On the contrary, he would hold it tightly and jab it at his opponent. Then it would not be wasteful.

“Pass the order, in three days, the Ministry of Justice will open trial, I will personally supervise.” He said.

Eunuch Su retreated.

……

In front of Chang’An Gate, the drum for crying for justice resounded with a deafening sound.

Jiang Li had let go of the mallet, and the Tongxiang residents rushed forward, wanting to be first. It seemed that the depression they had held back for a long time, the misery, the oppression, were all let off with a beat and a sound. While giggling, Ping An covered her ears and crouched beside Dai Yun.

Each person did not carry an expression of ending in mutual destruction, but was relaxed and smiling, full of hope.

These smiles infected the surrounding people of Yanjing who were watching. Unknowingly, it gave birth to a trace of expectation, an expectation that the people of Tongxiang could win the lawsuit and get the justice they yearned day and night.

Feng Yu Tang and the several people in the prisoner’s cart had long ago felt extremely dejected. At this point, they no longer prayed for miracles. Feng Yu Tang was fully aware that Princess Yongning would not come and save him. She might even dispatch a group of people to silence him. Perhaps the people sent to silence him were already on the way. The princess even dared to kill Jiang Li, so what did he count as, not as good as grass. In any case, he would be dead, Feng Yu Tang might as well not think about this.

Soon, the people from the Ministry of Justice rushed over after receiving the news. Jiang Li’s indictment was handed over, and the people from the Ministry of Justice carried Feng Yu Tang and his party away. They told her that a trial would be held three days later with Emperor Hong Xiao personally overseeing.

After hearing the words “Emperor Hong Xiao personally overseeing”, the stone in Jiang Li’s heart finally fell down. Even if Emperor Hong Xiao was a good emperor, it was unlikely for the emperor to attach importance to this case in Tongxiang. He did so precisely because of Princess Yongning’s involvement.

A monarch who originally wanted to deal with Yongning came to oversee the case was unfair from the start, but at the same time, was the utmost fairness. Her ally was the most honorable person. At least on the surface, regarding this case, it’s impossible for her to exert her power.

It’s very good.

The residents of Tongxiang were arranged properly by Ye Ming Yu and the government office also dispatched people to protect these witnesses, preventing them from being silenced. Jiang Li specifically said she wanted the people from the Ministry of Justice. Jingzhaoyin had Princess Yongning’s people. At that time, Xue Zhao went looking for Jingzhaoyin, but the people from Jingzhaoyin informed Yongning, thus he lost his life in vain. Jiang Li would not make the same mistake twice. In addition to this, she also arranged for Ye Ming Yu’s people to watch carefully.

As for Ye Ming Yu and Xue Huai Yuan, they would follow Jiang Li back to the Jiang residence.

Jiang Li was not at ease handing Xue Huaiyuan to other people to take care of. Moreover, Xue Huaiyuan only behaved slightly closer towards Jiang Li. When approached by others, Xue Huaiyuan would sometimes get scared suddenly. Ye Ming Yu was also afraid that Jiang Yuan Bai would punish Jiang Li. With him as the uncle watching over, Jiang Yuan Bai would exercise a bit more restraint and would not dare to openly beat and scold Jiang Li.

Therefore, after the case was settled, Jiang Li and Ye Ming Yu returned to the Jiang residence. freewёbnoνel.com

The gates of the chief assistant’s residence were tightly closed today.

Usually, there were two gatekeepers guarding the gate, but today, not even a gatekeeper was seen. Naturally, no one would step forward to welcome them. Ye Ming Yu held his sword, raised it to his shoulder and said, “Ah Li, it seems that your father blames you, he did not even let you in.”

Bai Xue and Tong’er were very worried. Jiang Li returned to the capital, but her first move was not to return to the residence but went to Chang’An Gate to beat the drum and cry injustice. This caused disruption to Jiang Yuan Bai’s plan. Now what’s done could not be undone, the Ministry of Justice would carry out the trial was confirmed. Jiang Yuan Bai could no longer keep this matter down, so he would naturally take his anger on Jiang Li.

“Not afraid.” Jiang Li said calmly, “The mistake I’ve made was more than this. That time, even the matter of harming the mother and murdering the brother was done, wasn’t I fine?” While speaking, she walked to the gate and knocked lightly.

Ye Ming Yu choked, together with Jiang Li, feeling that her evil reputation seemed to sound glorious. Not just avoid mentioning it, she still took the initiative to bring it up. However, Ye Ming Yu also felt there’s something questionable about the matter. Jiang Li was his niece, with their recent days of contact, although sometimes she mostly exerted a lot of effort, she was still very kind hearted. At times, she even had a hero’s air of hating evil like an enemy. Such a good girl, could she harm anyone? Afraid there’s a story inside.

Now it’s not the time to talk about this topic. Wait for another day, and slowly make inquiries.

The gatekeepers did not immediately open the gate. On the contrary, the people passing by outside saw Miss Jiang second waiting, felt that it was lively and also watched from the side. Ye Ming Yu had thick skin and did not feel anything. Someone watched him and he just laughed mischievously. Jiang Li was also unexpectedly calm and very patient. Waiting for a while, perhaps the people inside were unable to hold back and someone finally opened the gate.

The servant opening the gate saw Jiang Li and called, “Second miss.” He glanced at Ye Ming Yu wielding a sword, and at Tong’er who was supporting Xue Huaiyuan, and opened the gate with a complicated expression. He said, “The old madam is waiting for you at Wan Feng Hall.”

Jiang Li and Ye Ming Yu entered the Jiang residence.

Jiang Li said to Tong’er and Bai Xue, “The two of you first support Master Xue and return to my courtyard to take care of him. Uncle and I are going to Wan Feng Hall.”

Only after Tong’er and Bai Xue left supporting Xue Huaiyuan did Jiang Li and Ye Ming Yu go to Wan Feng Hall.

As soon as she entered Wan Feng Hall, Jiang Yuan Bai’s violent shout was heard, “Evil girl, kneel down!”

Jiang Li raised her eyes, and met with Jiang Yuan Bai’s furious eyes.

She sometimes thought, Jiang Yuan Bai, as the head of scholars with great knowledge and learning, why whenever he punished her, always said, “evil girl, kneel down”. As if he only felt comfortable after saying this sentence. However, after thinking about it, this sentence only applied to her. At least Jiang Li had never heard Jiang Yuan Bai say this sentence to Jiang You Yao.

Perhaps it was because Jiang You Yao had never caused trouble, or possibly because Jiang You Yao had been by his side since she was little and he could not bear letting Jiang You Yao kneel. But it did not matter.
