Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 50 Part 2: Relying on Power

Thats right, he was a tyrant. Although within the Yanjing city he seemed to not have committed any imaginable crime, it was still close. There were even a few lives taken by his hands. Its just that the lives lost in his hands were all commoners whose status were much humbler than him. They were not from official households whose status was equal or higher than himself.

Facing someone whose power was higher than his familys, Liu Zimins deceiving the weak and afraid of the strong personality would force him to have some scruples. However, when he was scrupulous the opposite person was not in the least bit afraid, even had a ruthless stance of having nothing to lose.

As a result, the weak were even weaker and the stubborn was even more stubborn. In a flash, Liu Zimin was at a disadvantage.

Jiang Li noticed Liu Zimins evasive and undetermined gaze and knew that he was wavering.

Xue Huaiyuan was the county deputy in Tongxiang County, an upright and honest, impartial and incorruptible government official. Sometimes, he even dared to expose other officials who ranked higher than him. His prestige among the common people was excellent, yet his colleagues thoroughly hated him.

Fellow workers hated them, hated the house and its crows1 , the colleagues children also hated them. From young until they grew up, she didnt know how many troubles those girls and boys from the government officials had brought to her and Xue Zhao.

She was still fine, the fight among girls wouldnt move hands to punch. But Xue Zhao was miserable, without much verbal spar, those youngsters immediately punched and kicked. Xue Zhao always returned home with a bloody nose and a swollen face. Over time, Xue Zhao also gained some experience. Towards ruthless people, he had to be more ruthless than them. In any case, being imposing would not lose. With those hard things in the past, first arranged for people to see, then pressure the other side with momentum. If the other side showed weakness, must not give them any opportunity. Slowly let the momentum climb, then victory would certainly be in ones grasp.

Xue Zhao relied on his imposing style and his martial arts and finally no one dared to provoke him in Tongxiang county.

As soon as Jiang Li saw Liu Zimins behavior, she immediately knew that Liu Zimin was someone who deceived the weak but was afraid of the strong. Moreover, she had the Jiang family as her backing, without spending much thought, she could effortlessly defeat Liu Zimin.

The reputation of harming the mother and murdering the younger brother was bad. But after some time, this bad reputation was able to make people feel fear which in turn was able to avert a lot of troublesome things.

Really shameless. Jiang You Yao gnashed her teeth in anger: Still making this kind of scandal public, its really throwing fathers face away!

Seeing that Liu Zimin stood rooted in place, Jiang Li said: This young master insisted on the opinion that I am talking rubbish. Then according to this young masters words at the beginning, lets report this to the authorities. Since I am also involved in this matter, I better go together with you.

Liu Zimin was both angry and anxious.

He did mention reporting to the authorities at that time, but it was to scare Ye Shijie. As long as they passed through the door, it would be very easy to pit Ye Shijie who had no relation with Yanjing. However, it would be different if Jiang Li was involved. Jiang Li was the young lady of the Jiang family. Even for the sake of Jiang familys face, they could only handle this case fairly. In the end, he would be trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. Not only would he not earn Ye Shijies silver, he would also dig a pit for himself and implicate his fathers reputation.

In a blink of an eye, Liu Zimins cold sweat overflowed. He looked at Jiang Li, really didnt understand how a little girl who was spurned by her family and stayed in the nunnery for eight years had so much confidence. How could she be so unforgiving?

However, as Liu Zimin was trapped without any way to advance or retreat, Jiang Li suddenly smiled: I think this matter is probably just a simple misunderstanding. After all, this young master doesnt look like someone who would deliberately extort someone else under false pretense. Perhaps he thought this painting to be genuine and was also deceived. Since it is like this, its better to make peace, let Young Master Ye compensate 50 taels of silver and drop this matter. How is it?

In Liu Zimins ears, the words spoken by Jiang Li sounded like heaven. This is giving him a way out from an embarrassing situation ah.

So how was it? Of course it was good!

yup it surely is not a trap, nope. at all. its not admitting that your oh-so-mighty family was deceived into spending a big amount of money to buy fake goods, not even able to discern the genuine from the fake, and probably on top showing off as if you got the real deal. taking the hand she offers does surely not mean that (:
