Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 119 Part 2: Father
Jiang Li looked polite and mild, yet Feng Yu Tang knew clearly in his heart that this little lady was not as good as she looked on the surface. He heard Jiang Li had something that needed his help with and not only did he not feel well, his whole body even broke out in cold sweat. He asked to probe, “What matter does the second lady need this official to help with?”
“It’s very simple.” Jiang Li spoke in an understatement, “It’s just asking Master Feng’s company to go back to Yanjing together; go to the Imperial Court of Judicial Review to testify against County Deputy Xue’s case.”
Feng Yu Tang froze.
Jiang Li looked at him quietly with tranquil eyes. However, Feng Yu Tang could see the ridicule contained in her pair of eyes.
He said, “What kind of joke is the second miss saying…..”
“I don’t like to joke.” Jiang Li shook her head.
A feeling of humiliation burst out from Feng Yu Tang’s heart. The current obstruction of Jiang Li’s pet.i.te body was just like obstructing his way to survive. He itched to vigorously twist Jiang Li’s neck off and once again kill to make a b.l.o.o.d.y path out. But he did not dare, Ye Ming Yu was standing beside Jiang Li and the broad sword on his waist was emitting cold air.
“Second miss, must you force this official to really do this?”
Jiang Li smiled and nodded.
The more gentle she was, the more angry Feng Yu Tang became. His anger gave birth to a fierce courage and he abruptly asked, “What if the official refused?”
“Refused?” Jiang Li’s smile gradually disappeared and she looked expressionlessly at him. She coldly said, “Afraid I can’t allow Master Feng to refuse.”
Feng Yu Tang refused to show weakness, “Miss Jiang second, don’t push too far, are you planning to kill this official?”
“This has nothing to do with me.” Jiang Li shook her head, “The ones who won’t let you go are them.” She moved her body slightly to the side.
Feng Yu Tang saw it.
Behind Jiang Li, outside the yamen door that was blocked by Ye Ming Yu’s guards, were the people of Tongxiang, standing densely together. It’s unknown how long they had stood there, just calmly looking at Feng Yu Tang with excitement and anger in their eyes. It looked as if, if Jiang Li was not there, they would have immediately entered and killed Feng Yu Tang in anger.
“You see.” Jiang Li smiled.
Feng Yu Tang’s body swayed for a moment and he couldn’t help taking a step back. He shook his head and mumbled, “Impossible…..”
When those people came to inform him yesterday, they said that for several days in a row, Jiang Li, Ye Ming Yu and their group of people went door to door to inquire the people in Tongxiang but could only find three people. Out of the 500 plus households in Tongxiang, they could only find three people, that was not many. Feng Yu Tang was at once complacent, thinking that his prestige among the people in Tongxiang was extremely high. Even if the n.o.ble daughter of the chief a.s.sistant came to ask, n.o.body dared to speak nonsense. It was precisely because of this, Feng Yu Tang believed that by the time Jiang Li gathered sufficient people willing to be witnesses, it would be a few more days.
In the short period of one night, how could so many people follow her? What happened? What did she say to the people in Tongxiang?
“Feng Yu Tang!” A young man spoke with grief and indignation, “You abducted my sister to be your concubine. The person only entered your mansion for three days and she died. Return my sister to me!”
“He’s an animal, he grabbed our family’s shop, my mother died of anger in the house!”
“He gangs up with evil tyrant and robbed our family’s three antiques!”
“Feng Yu Tang!”
One after another, the accusation resounded through the sky in front of the yamen in Tongxiang county.
During Feng Yu Tang’s tenure, he oppressed the people and committed any imaginable misdeeds. The people in Tongxiang had long been holding back. Now it burst, scaring Feng Yu Tang to retreat again and again. He tried to take out the previous prestige, but his vigor was insufficient. He could only appear fierce while being cowardly at heart and roared, “What do you want to do? Are you people going to rebel?”
The bellowing rage from the people was his reply.
In the middle of the noise, Jiang Li’s voice sounded exceptionally clear. She said, “Master Feng, persisting in evil will bring about self-destruction. It’s just that the time of revenge has not come yet. Now, your time has come.”
Feng Yu Tang looked at her for a while, suddenly turned around and ran!
He knew what Jiang Li said was right. They were numerous and had power in number. If it was before, he could still let his subordinates fight, they were merely unarmed untouchables, how powerful could they get? However, his subordinates went to chase and kill Jiang Li these days and had been killed more than half. The remaining ones were lacking. These untouchables rebelled at this time, it’s not possible for his men to pa.s.s!
Run away? Where can he escape?
Jiang Li looked coldly at Feng Yu Tang’s back view as he fled in panic. She waved her hand and said, “Master Feng wants to run, asking everyone to help ‘invite’ Master Feng to come back.”
Her voice just fell and, ‘bang’, a sound came out. The people who had long held complaints against Feng Yu Tang immediately rushed to catch Feng Yu Tang. Even those subordinates carrying Feng Yu Tang were unable to withstand the people carrying sticks and bamboo and repeatedly begged for forgiveness. Jiang Li asked Ye Ming Yu’s bodyguards to watch carefully. She had the mind to let these people vent their anger, but it must be guaranteed that Feng Yu Tang must not escape.
It’s been a long time since so many people appeared in the Tongxiang county’s yamen. Ever since Feng Yu Tang took office, only those evil tyrants and rich people were fond of coming to the yamen. As long as there’s silver, work could be handled. The common people who came to the yamen were full of blood and tears, buried alive by that person. Over time, the yamen became a nest of devils. This was a fact known by everyone in Tongxiang.
However, a few days after Miss Jiang’s arrival in Tongxiang, the figures of the common people appeared once again in the yamen. This time, it was not ‘the official taking unfair advantage of the people’, rather, it was ‘the official forcing the people to revolt’.
Ye Ming Yu looked at a married woman who was fiercely smashing Feng Yu Tang’s head with a pole. He laughed heartily and called Jiang Li to see. He said, “Now that b*astard can also taste the feeling of being trampled on.”
Jiang Li smiled faintly: “It’s retribution.”
Although Feng Yu Tang was Princess Yongning’s lackey and behaved according to Princess Yongning’s command, her father turning mad and suffering inhuman torture while in prison was inseparable from Feng Yu Tang. After having done these things and still wanted to escape, Feng Yu Tang really thought too beautifully.
