Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 117 Part 4: Public Sentiment

Ye Ming Yu patted Mo Wen Xuan’s shoulder. He said in a gruff voice, “Boy, don’t use that kind of hero sacrificing your life appearance. Feng Yu Tang is just a paper tiger, not worth mentioning. Moreover, his good days in Tongxiang are coming to an end. No one will do anything to you and your mother. Everyone will be fine, the only person who will have something will only be Feng Yu Tang.”

Mo Wen Xuan cupped his hands, “All relying on the elder brother.”

“Don’t be polite!” Ye Ming Yu said, “then I won’t stay much longer, I still have to find the next family.”

“The next family?” The old lady asked curiously.

“There are 568 households in Tongxiang, each and every family has received County Deputy Xue’s grace. I need to go to these 568 households, one by one, to find a witness.” Ye Ming Yu was extremely proud.

“You are truly a good person.” Mo Wen Xuan was dumbfounded and spoke, “Making such an all-out effort to help Master Xue, have you also received Master Xue’s grace before? With you, a person who recognizes grace and strives to return it, Master Xue must be very gratified. I’ll thank you on behalf of Master Xue.”

“Hey, don’t speak without knowing. I have not received County Deputy Xue’s grace.” Ye Ming Yu said, “It’s my niece who has friends.h.i.+p with Master Xue’s family members. Thus she specially rushed over to Tongxiang to lend a hand. If you want to thank, you should thank her. Her name is Jiang Li, who is the current chief a.s.sistant, Jiang Yuan Bai’s daughter. In the future, you can see that she’s a hard to find good girl.”

Ye Ming Yu thought happily. This was the first household and he found a person willing to stand up. If Jiang Li knew, she would definitely be very happy.

For her, and for the pitiful County Deputy Xue who’s currently imprisoned.

……

In the yamen, Feng Yu Tang was anxiously waiting for a reply.

He had to take Jiang Li’s life within five days. He did not know what Jiang Li was doing, without mentioning Xue’s case, if Princess Yongning knew that he had mucked up the affairs, she would not let him go.

Moreover, the group of people sent out were arranged in the back garden as 20 corpses, really making Feng Yu Tang not peaceful. Jiang Li was such a difficult enemy to handle, who knew what method she would use to deal with him. He had lost 20 of his best people, would he become one of the 20 corpses next?

Feng Yu Tang did not dare to think. The only thing that would stop his fear was to immediately let someone a.s.sa.s.sinate Jiang Li right now. Push future troubles later, at least, at this time, he must remove this danger.

However, the people he dispatched early in the morning was just like the 23 people dispatched last night, without any news until now. Feng Yu Tang waited from morning till noon, from noon to the evening. When night fell, the light snow gradually stopped. There was no wind nor snow outside and it was very tranquil.

The tranquility made people fretful.

There’s no news. Not only that, they could not find out where these people were. They seemed to have vanished within a short time. No one could find their trace, even making people doubt whether or not they had truly existed.

“Lord…..” The young boy guarding the gate entered, looking scared. His voice sounded extremely frightened, Lord, they….. They are found!”

“They are found!” Feng Yu Tang’s heart shook and he stood up. He really hoped to hear the news of Jiang Li’s death. It’s fine as long as those people’s whereabouts are found. He asked, “Where are they?”

“In….. in the back garden.” The young gatekeeper said anxiously.

Feng Yu Tang’s heart gradually sank. He slipped, nearly unable to stand firm. With great effort, he retained his consciousness and said, “Go and see…..”

But just by looking at the young gatekeeper’s complexion, he knew the situation in the garden was not good. Feng Yu Tang did not ask, as if he would only reconcile after he had seen it personally.

The 20 corpses discovered in the morning were covered with plain white cloth by his subordinates and stacked in the corner. He still did not know how to handle them. Now that the snow had stopped, there were more rows of lifeless bodies in the originally already empty garden.

Feng Yu Tang closed his eyes.

Such skills, such provocation, he’s already at his wit’s end. There were clearly only seven people with Jiang Li, how could they just cut his people like cutting melons and vegetables, breaking his people one after another. Could all those bodyguards be peerless masters?

But, how did they send these bodies into the back garden of the yamen without making any noise? Feng Yu Tang knew that since they did not take the time of sending the bodies into account, this implied that they would quietly take his life at any time.

Then why haven’t they a.s.sa.s.sinated him?

Feng Yu Tang did not understand. He asked, “Isn’t there a mute granny in the back garden? Tell her to come out, ask her when she has seen suspicious people? She can’t speak, just uses hand movements!”

If the mute granny stayed in the back garden, she might have clearly seen the people who entered.

The servant boy was stunned, as if just remembering that there’s such a person. He said, “Come to think about it, it’s been a few days since the mute granny was last seen?”

“Could she be dead?” Feng Yu Tang frowned. That old woman had lived long enough. Every time he saw her, he felt that she would run out of breath in the next second. They never paid attention to the mute granny, therefore, n.o.body noticed her disappearance. Even if they discovered it, it’s unlikely for them to care about it. Perhaps she died of old age in her own room.

“Since these people could not kill Jiang Li, Jiang Li is still alive now.” Feng Yu Tang suddenly asked, “Where is Jiang Li and what is she doing now?”

The two subordinates were looking at each other, none of them dared to speak.

Feng Yu Tang was angry when he saw them like that and scolded, “Say it!”

“Second, second miss Jiang and third master Ye took separated early in the morning, walking along the east county road to the west, knocking on the people’s houses. It’s unknown what she said to those people, but she came out very soon. Then she called on the second house, just like that she called on a few households.

“However, I heard that Xue Huai Yuan’s name was mentioned, so they should be talking about Xue’s case”.
