Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 109 Part 4: Seven Days

Perhaps she should thank Jiang Yuan Bai, at least this nominal name of Jiang second miss let her dispense with a lot of matters.

Miss, Miss Jiang second, sweat oozed from Feng Yu Tangs forehead. He called her stiffly and said, For what matter are you looking for this lower official?

Ye Ming Yu puffed and laughed. From this official to this lower official, Feng Yu Tangs face turned pretty quick. Such a person could also become a county deputy, Ye Ming Yu sympathized with the people of Tongxiang.

Havent I said it? Jiang Li said, Im looking for Master Feng to ask why is the Xue house sealed, why is county deputy Xue imprisoned?

Feng Yu Tang looked at Jiang Li and quickly calculated in his mind. Based on Jiang Lis speech, he could conclude that she was not someone sent by Princess Yongning. Princess Yongnings person would not be unaware of the Xue familys affair. Its just, he didnt know whether Jiang Lis sudden questioning of this matter was due to her painstaking effort or for some other purpose.

However, he definitely could not muck up the things Princess Yongning had instructed him to do.

Feng Yu Tang firmly said, The Xue house was sealed because the criminal Xue Huai Yuan was greedy and corrupted the silver for disaster relief. The evidence was conclusive, the court severely punished greedy and corrupt officials, thus he was sent to prison.

Oh? This was the answer that Jiang Li had anticipated in advance. She asked, the evidence was conclusive?

Right.

So its like that, Jiang Li nodded and spoke somewhat helplessly, then theres no way.

Feng Yu Tang was happy inside. Before he could speak, Jiang Li raised her head and looked at him all smiles. Then, Master Feng, can I see the criminal Xue Huai Yuan?

Feng Yu Tang was dumbfounded, Ye Ming Yu also glanced at Jiang Li with astonishment.

Miss Jiang second, why are you.. before Feng Yu Tang could finish speaking, he saw Jiang Lis calm expression and his heart moved, suddenly realizing. Its not possible that it was due to Miss Jiang seconds painstaking effort. A magnificent chief assistants daughter, why would she attach so much importance to a convict. Though she didnt investigate Xue Huai Yuans matter in detail, she wanted to do bad things by proposing to meet with Xue Huai Yuan!

Bearing his Masters instruction in his mind, Feng Yu Tang said, Miss Jiang second, according to Northern Yans law, a death row prisoner cannot receive visitation.

Death row prisoner? Jiang Lis smile instantly disappeared.

Yes. Feng Yu Tang said, According to the records, the convict Xue Huai Yuan should have been sentenced half a year ago. However, he suddenly lost his mind and got delayed for many days. Seven days later, he will be beheaded at noon.

Ye Ming Yu, Tonger and Bai Xue simultaneously looked towards Jiang Li.

Although they didnt quite understand what Jiang Li wanted to do, heres one thing that the few people could make out. That was, Jiang Li wanted to rehabilitate this county deputy Xue Huai Yuan and take him out of prison. However, Feng Yu Tang now said that Xue Huai Yuan is going to be beheaded seven days later? Then hasnt Jiang Li taken this trip in vain?

Jiang Li smiled sarcastically in her heart, got delayed for many days? Its more likely that Princess Yongning wanted to torture Xue Huai Yuan longer, right? Time had passed long enough now, Xue Fang Fei was also already dead, thus the interest for torturing Xue Huai Yuan was no longer that high for Yongning. Thus he was straightforwardly sentenced.

Is Master Feng deceiving me? Jiang Li smiled faintly, You couldnt be afraid that I would do something to county deputy Xue, creating problems, therefore hastily made a decision, the so-called sentencing in seven days was decided instantly within the moment?

Feng Yu Tang was choked and overwhelmed. He suddenly thought of something, his eyes turned around and spoke while putting on a fake smile, This is true. If Miss Jiang second is not convinced, you can write a letter to Yanjing and make an inquiry to the superior. However.. theres something that I dont understand. You said that you are Miss Jiang second, is there any proof? If there is no proof, pretending to be the family of a court official, do you know the charge?

Of course I know the charge. But, after all, I am really Miss Jiang second, cant Master Feng tell? Jiang Li replied.

Feng Yu Tang looked at Jiang Li, his hands sweating.

His intuition told him that this clear headed little beauty was really Miss Jiang second. If nothing else, her confidence convinced people. However, he must not acknowledge it just like this. Miss Jiang second clearly came for the Xue family, seemingly wanting to protect the Xue family. He had received Princess Yongnings order and absolutely must not let any deviation occur in this matter. He could only feign disbelief, kill first and confess later. At worst, he would apologize to Miss Jiang second afterwards and at most he would become a person who made an error due to being unclear. But if he were to let go of Xue Huai Yuan and Princess Yongning blamed him, ten heads would not be enough for him to lose.

Moreover, behind him is Princess Yongning, the younger sister of Cheng Wang. So what if Miss Jiang seconds father is the chief assistant? In the end, he was just a subject while Cheng Wang might sit on the throne in the future. Jiang Yuan Bai still had to show courtesy to Cheng Wang to some degree. If Miss Jiang second truly refused to treat him harshly, he would move Princess Yongning out, look who would be afraid of whom?

With this thought, Feng Yu Tang calmed down. As he was about to speak, he heard Jiang Li called him Master Feng.

Master Feng, Jiang Li said, neither salty nor weak, I advise you better to stop pretending that you dont believe my identity and thinking to apologize in hindsight. The fact is, to prevent this kind of thing from happening, I have especially brought my fathers warrant. She slowly took out a warrant from her sleeve and carelessly coiled it in her hands. However, people could see the handwriting on the warrant clearly, which was without a doubt, Jiang Yuan Bais official seal.

Feng Yu Tangs heart sank.

As such, it was impossible for him to lie and pretend. With the proof, he had no option but to recognize Jiang Lis identity as the chief assistants daughter. And with this identity, Jiang Li was more unrestricted when talking and doing things.

This was not a good thing.

While thinking of a countermeasure, he once again heard Jiang Lis serene voice.

Jiang Li said, I know Master Fengs Master has a great origin. Based on this, Master Feng can behave unscrupulously. But theres a sentence that Master Feng should listen to, that is, when immortals fight, the little demons suffer calamities.

Master Feng should be aware whether you are an immortal or a demon. Jiang Li said.
