Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 104.1

Marriage of the Di Daughter

The meeting with old madam Ye was smoother than what Jiang Li thought. Though she had intentionally made use of the trouble that the Ye family was facing this time to pull herself closer to the Ye family members, in her heart, Jiang Li knew, even if there wasn’t this matter, there was no misunderstanding between old madam Ye and her. As long as Miss Jiang second turned around, old madam Ye would forever be her support.

However, in the end, it was a matter of achievements.

The next thing to do was to calmly wait for the result from Tang Fan’s investigation. It’s just that no one foresaw that the outcome would be so unexpected.

Three days later, Tang Fan came to the Ye family’s home. Once he entered, he immediately said: “We’ve found the person carrying tuoluo.”

Ye Ming Hui asked: “Who is it?”

Tang Fan shook his head: “In the past few days, Magistrate Tong and I dispatched people to investigate and the clues led to Da Feng Medicine Shop. Every half a year, the shopkeeper of this shop would send someone out to gather some rare and precious medicinal ingredients. He has a clever servant in his hand who just came back from the Western regions two months ago. Someone mentioned that he brought back a lot of medicinal ingredients. Based on other people’s statements, there seemed to be traces of tuoluo.

“Da Feng Medicine Shop?” Ye Ming Xuan muttered to himself for a moment, “the common people in Xiangyang usually collect their medicine prescription at Da Feng Medicine Shop. There aren’t any disagreements with our Ye family.”

“At first we wanted to arrest people as quickly as possible. Who knows, early this morning, all seven members of the Da Feng Medicine Shop’s shopkeeper family, along with that servant who just came back from the Western regions were all silenced.”

“Silenced?” Ye Jia Er cried out in alarm.

“Correct; it should not be killing out of hatred. I actually feel that,” Tang Fan looked at Jiang Li, “the greatest possibility is that the person behind is aware that we are checking this matter and abandoned the chariot to protect the leader.”

“You mean, there’s still someone behind?” Ye Ming Yu asked.

“If it was just the idea of a single person from the Da Feng Medicine Shop, there’s no need to exterminate the entire family. Now it seems that all the people who were familiar with the matter are all dead, so there must be someone from behind giving instructions.” Tang Fan replied. He wasn’t very sure at the beginning, but after seeing the suspicious Da Feng Medicine Shop people being exterminated overnight, he was certain that the trouble with the Ye family’s ancient fragrant satin was truly set up by someone. It’s just that the method was so vicious, not in the least fearing of the consequences. It could be clearly seen that the other person’s power was not small.

But since he had already stood by the Jiang family’s side, it’s too late to go back, so he had no other option but to be resolute.

“Master Tang’s suspicion of Da Feng Medicine shop should not have leaked.” Jiang Li smiled slightly, “Silencing the people of the Da Feng Medicine Shop within such a short period of time, the possibility is that someone learned of the information ahead of time thus murder everybody in the medicine shop. If so, that means that there’s a traitor inside……”

“Absolutely impossible!” Tang Fan guaranteed anxiously, “we were arranged by the Weaving Unit to come to Xiangyang for the purpose of investigating this matter, not related to Da Feng Medicine Shop at all, there’s no way we are going to leak information.” He was afraid Jiang Li suspected that they would disclose information to other people and consequently led to the silencing of any witnesses from Da Feng Medicine Shop.

“Master Tang does not need to be anxious. Since we’ve handed this matter to Master Tang, naturally we believe Master Tang would give us explanations. It’s just that this thing was too strange. One moment staring at Da Feng Medicine Shop and immediately not a single person from Da Feng Medicine Shop was left alive. Don’t you feel that it’s very strange? There are many subordinates under Magistrate Tong, perhaps one of them was careless and divulged the news, giving others the opportunity?” Jiang Li said with a smile.

Tang Fan looked at the slight change in Jiang Li’s gaze and sighed in secret. Tong Zhi Yang has thoroughly offended this Miss Jiang second. The meaning in Jiang Li’s words was that she suspected that Tong Zhi Yang was in cahoots with the person who set up the Ye family. When he got the news, he immediately told the other party who then dispatched people to wipe out the whole family of Da Feng Medicine Shop’s shopkeeper. Although there’s possibility in this matter, it was obvious that Jiang Li mentioning this at this point was to suppress Tong Zhi Yang. Wait until Jiang Li returned to Yanjing and inform this matter to Jiang Yuan Bai, Jiang Yuan Bai could then casually look for a reason for Tong Zhi Yang to be watched carefully. Some clues could then be found out.

Miss Jiang second should not be trifled with, must not be offended. With this awareness in his heart, when Tang Fan spoke to Jiang Li, he used an even more polite tone. “In the courtyard behind the servant’s house, we discovered sprinkled tuoluo. Though the people of the Da Feng Medicine Shop were exterminated, it could be concluded that this matter was done by the servant. Just need for the evidence to be sufficiently gathered before the Ye family can be proclaimed innocent.”

“But isn’t the person behind still not found?” Ye Ming Hui spoke in a deep voice. “This time failed, then the next time, what if those people schemed against us again? It’s only with great difficulty that we found a little clue this time, yet the people in Da Feng Medicine Shop were all silenced. How would the common people believe the Ye family’s arguments, perhaps they might even think that the Ye family colluded with the officials and look for an excuse. The Ye family’s reputation is already destroyed, no need to mention other things, just the ancient fragrant satin’s business afraid could no longer be done in the future. What can we do about this?”

Ye Ming Hui’s words were painful, but they weren’t without any basis. Tang Fan said: “We, the Weaving Unit, can think of a way to let the common people know the actual situation…..” He himself felt it was difficult to speak. Even if the people of the Weaving Unit spoke, the Ye family’s ancient fragrant satin’s business could not be done in the future. The Ye family’s primary business was the ancient fragrant satin ah, it could be said that the Ye family’s strength was greatly injured.

“Uncle Ming Hui,” Jiang Li opened her mouth to speak: “Investigating the case is not something that the Weaving Unit should do. If we want to know the clues of the person behind this, we can only rely on Magistrate Tong. Let’s give Magistrate Tong full authority to handle this matter and let him investigate. If Magistrate Tong could not find out, we will continue to report above, layer by layer. If even the Yanjing’s Jing Zhao Yin could not find out about this, I’ve thought of a method, it’s not impossible to let my father enter the palace and face the holy. A way forward could always be found.”

She said it lightly, but Tang Fan, who was listening by the side, was alarmed. He thought, it seems that Tong Zhi Yang, this magistrate, have walked to the end. Fortunately he has stood by the Jiang family’s side from the beginning. Otherwise, with Miss Jiang second’s temper of counting every single thing, after all was done, he wouldn’t know how many barriers he had to go through.
