Chapter 110

"Whether Lord Feng is an immortal or a imp, he should have self-knowledge."

As soon as Jiang Li's voice fell, Feng Yutang's face had become very ugly. He naturally heard the implication of Jiang Li's words. Jiang Li is the first daughter, and his master is Princess Yongning. Jiang Li and Yongning confront each other, with strong family backing, and he is just a small county magistrate, which is an unchangeable fact. Anyway, if he was sacrificed, it was just a trivial matter.

Feng Yutang felt very thorny. Jiang Li came suddenly and didn't give him any time to deal with it. However, after a short conversation, Jiang Li was not an easy person to dismiss. She is very assertive and doesn't look like a 15-year-old girl.

She even makes people feel a little afraid.

"Miss Jiang Er, officer," Feng Yutang said with a smile, "officer is only acting under orders. Please don't be embarrassed."

"Under orders?" Jiang Li smiled, "your Lord Feng said nothing in Tongxiang, and no one dared to disobey your order. This case of Xue Xiancheng was also decided by your hand. You are the heaven of Tongxiang. Whose order are you serving? If you don't tell me, maybe I'm familiar with it in Yanjing city."

Feng Yutang was sweating. Of course, he couldn't say the name of Princess Yongning. With a wry smile, he said, "all the officials do things according to the articles of association. Miss Jiang Er, the officer doesn't understand what you really want to do. If you want to inquire about the Xue family, the officer really tells you. What else do you want now?"

Feng Yutang was originally a local ruffian. Now he put on a rogue face. No one can do anything to him. Yes, there are many people here. Jiang Li has no hands, so he can't directly let someone rob the prison. Even the prison robbery will involve the Ye family and the Jiang family. He Feng Yutang made it clear that I recognize your identity and respect you, but I can't act without orders. What can you do to me?

Ye Mingyu frowned. It was the first time he had seen such a rogue county magistrate. Is he not afraid of Jiang Yuanbai's anger afterwards?

Only Jiang Li understood why Feng Yutang dared to play a rogue. He relied on Princess Yongning to support him. He just needed to do what Princess Yongning told him.

Although she wanted to see her father in prison this time, Jiang Li guessed that it would not be so smooth long before she came to the county government. No problem, at least she met the new Feng Yutang. She had dealt with Feng Yutang before and knew what kind of person he was. Knowing yourself and knowing the enemy will not be defeated in a hundred battles, nor will it be completely fruitless.

Feng Yutang looked at Jiang Li with leisure. Now he was ready again. He felt that Jiang Li couldn't do anything to himself. He wouldn't let someone catch him as the county magistrate. Shoufu's daughter acted like this. It's strange that the imperial censor in the court didn't take this ginseng, Jiang Yuanbai.

"I don't want to do anything," Jiang Li smiled and said kindly to him, "I said, I came to ask why the Xue family was sealed up. The case file can be checked as long as the superior orders it. Tongxiang belongs to Xiangyang, and I have submitted a lawsuit with Xiangyang, so I can see the Xue family case file." Jiang Li took out a travel order from her sleeve, motioned tong'er to hand it over, and said with a smile, "Lord Feng, the order is here. I can have a look at the files of the Xue family."

Feng Yutang was stunned.

The county magistrate was given to him by Princess Yongning, and Feng Yutang was as happy as picking up a big bargain to be an official, even in a small county in Tongxiang. You know, in this position, you can make a lot of money. When he was a county magistrate, he would never be as stupid as Xue Huaiyuan and really work for the people. And because he himself was arranged by Yongning, he had never experienced the evaluation of officials, and he knew nothing about the size of official orders. He knew nothing about the order. Subconsciously, tong'er handed the order. Seeing the seal of Xiangyang magistrate on it, he hesitated for a moment, nodded, and asked people around him to find the file and give it to Jiang Li.

Ye Mingyu doesn't remember when Jiang Li went to Tong Zhiyang to ask for this thing, and Tong Zhiyang and the Ye family made such a mess, how can they easily give Jiang Li orders.

Ginger pear lips smile. This transfer order, said to be a transfer order, is not a transfer order. It was not approved by Tong Zhiyang himself. It was a letter from Feng Yutang, who borrowed Tang fan's hand to investigate the case with the order of Yanjing weaving office. Tang fan also wants Jiang Yuanbai's relationship in Yanjing, and of course he will help him. Jiang Li was well aware of the shortcomings of Beiyan's official system and was able to take advantage of this loophole to achieve her purpose of consulting the Xue family case file.

Since Xue Huaiyuan, whom qiongzhi heard, is in prison, Jiang Li must see Xue Huaiyuan's file and find out the wrong place from it. In order to prepare early, Jiang Li made this transfer order. Only now I see feng Yutang, I know that it doesn't take so much effort. Feng Yutang is a hooligan who knows nothing about eating, drinking and having fun. As long as she makes up a decent excuse, Feng Yutang will believe it.

Tong'er took the file and handed it to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li glanced at the file and confirmed that it was indeed true. She smiled at Feng Yutang and said, "thank you, Lord Feng. I'm all right."

Feng Yutang had to deal with Jiang Li's headache. Hearing Jiang Li say so, he wished Jiang Li would leave quickly. He is good at flying pigeons to send a letter to Princess Yongning to see what should happen next? The second miss of the Jiang family clearly wants to investigate Xue Huaiyuan's case again. Although she doesn't understand how Xue Huaiyuan is related to the first daughter, Feng Yutang doesn't want to make any mistakes in the last joint eye, which makes Princess Yongning angry, and he can't bear to go.

"Good good." Feng Yutang narrowed his eyes with a smile and said, "Miss Jiang Er is going to leave..."

"I'm not going." Jiang Li said, "I'm going to live in Tongxiang for a period of time."

"Live, live for a while?"

"Yes." Jiang Li looked at him, "Lord Feng seems very unhappy?"

"No... no..." Feng Yutang said with a smile, "how can it be? Has Miss Jiang Er arranged a place to stay? If not, I can help you."

"Then there's no need. There are many of us. Don't bother Lord Feng to do official business." Jiang Li smiled and said, "I think Lord Feng should also be very busy. We don't have to send each other off. We'll leave now."

Feng Yutang had no choice but to laugh and die. This Miss Jiang family seemed to have a pair of eyes that could see through people's hearts. How did she know that she was in a hurry to communicate with Princess Yongning?

"Then I'll... I won't give it away." Feng Yutang said.

Jiang Li glanced at him and said two words with Ye Mingyu. Ye Mingyu put away his knife at his waist, led Jiang Li, and swaggered away from Feng Yutang.

Feng Yutang looked at the back of Jiang Li and his party. For some reason, his heart suddenly became very uneasy. After sitting for a while, he suddenly regained consciousness, kicked his follower and said, "hurry! Find me a piece of paper, pen and ink!"

……

Jiang Li and ye Mingyu went out of the gate of the county yamen.

When arriving at the door, an old woman with a bent figure passed by in front of Jiang Li with a Yexiang bucket in her hand. She raised her eyelids and looked at them. She soon lowered her eyes and staggered away without looking back.

Jiang Li's heart moved, but ye Mingyu spoke. He said, "what's the matter with trusting the county magistrate? I've never fucking seen such a county magistrate? This is called a county magistrate? Such a person can also be a county magistrate?"

He resented Feng Yutang's rudeness to Jiang Li.

"Nothing, uncle Ming Yu, he can't be a county magistrate for long." Jiang Li comforted him, but his mood was not happy.

Feng Yutang unexpectedly said that Xue Huaiyuan would be executed in seven days? It's so fast! They also want to kill a father who has lost his mind, and Jiang Li clenched her fists with hatred.

Seven days, her time is running out. Within seven days, she had to overturn Xue Huaiyuan's case and prevent Wu men's execution. But now she has nothing but a passive file. My father is crazy. If what they say is true, my father can't defend himself. She can only rely on herself to overturn her father's case.

The people of Tongxiang were frightened by Feng Yutang's tyranny and dared not speak. His father's former subordinates were all replaced, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. She returned to Tongxiang, facing the strangest environment, which was not good for her anyway.

But she has to go on.

Ye Mingyu asked, "ah Li, what should I do now?"

"Go back first," said Jiang Li, "let me think."

For the time being, she didn't think about what to do next, but time didn't wait. She had to make a decision in the shortest time. But one thing, no matter what, she will not helplessly watch Xue Huaiyuan be executed. Even if it is a robbery, she will also save her father's life.

Just thinking, suddenly a five or six-year-old boy came from a distance and timidly pulled the corners of her clothes. Jiang Li looked down, and the little boy stuffed a note into her palm, turned and ran away.

Ye Mingyu was curious, "what's the matter?"

Jiang Li unfolded the note, read it quickly, tore it up, looked up at a tavern not far away, and saw a bright red spread out, especially conspicuous in the wind.

Jiang Li said to Ye Mingyu, "Uncle Mingyu, go back first. I have something else to do, and I'll be back soon."

"What are you going to do?" Ye Mingyu quit, "it's too dangerous for you alone. I'll go with you."

"It's not dangerous," said Jiang Li. "Uncle Ming Yu, go back first. I know the way. I'll come back with tong'er later."

Seeing Jiang Li's persistent face, ye Mingyu was very helpless and said, "well, I won't go back. I'm here. What you just saw is the nearby pub, right? Are you going to see someone? Don't worry, I won't follow, I'll wait for you outside, and I won't come in."

For this reason, Jiang Li had to give up. Besides, ye Mingyu is only outside, and Ji Heng should not care. She said, "well, uncle, wait for me here for a while, and I'll be back soon."

Ye Mingyu really took a horse and squatted down on the street waiting for Jiang Li. Jiang Li and tong'er Bai Xue walked to the tavern together, with doubts in their hearts.

Why did Ji Heng come? Now, the Ghost won't believe him if he doesn't follow him.

The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. Only one step can count as one step.

She went into the pub.

The whole pub was also empty. The previous innkeeper also put a waiter to look at the store. This store is so good that there is not even a waiter. The bodyguard named Wenji stood at the door and watched Jiang Li go in.

If you want to come to this pub, you have been temporarily "served" by this Lord. He is so arrogant that when he is in the tavern, he will drive everyone else out of the tavern. He is overbearing enough.

Jiang Li went up the second floor.

On the second floor, near the window, a young man in red is pouring tea. His action of pouring tea is very skilled, not astringent. His appearance of Flowing Clouds and water is also pleasing to the eye.

He poured two cups of tea.

Jiang Li walked up to him, and Ji Xuan pushed a cup of tea just poured over her hand and made a "please" gesture.

Jiang Li sat down opposite him without touching the cup of tea.

"Baihao silver needle, Miss Jiang Er, try it." He smiled, like a warm old friend.

"Thank you, sir. I'm not thirsty." Jiang Li Dao.

"The second young lady is not afraid of me poisoning it?" Ji Xuan asked with a smile.

Jiang Li smiled and replied, "how could it be? The Lord really wants my life, but in an instant, he won't waste good tea."

Ji Hong smiled, "you know me."

Jiang Li: "No."

Ji Chen is too thoughtful and treacherous to argue. Who dares to say that he knows him? The four words "moody" are not just words. Moreover, a few days ago, in the play, an assassination was resolved between talking and laughing, and a bunch of assassins were dealt with calmly. Their eyes were fierce without blinking. How could Jiang Li take this person lightly?

But Ji Heng noticed her after all, so he followed her to Tongxiang.

Jiang Li doesn't want to beat around the bush with Ji Heng. Now she has too little time. If she wastes one more moment, Xue Huaiyuan's chance to live will be weakened by one point. She said, "the Duke of the country came back to Tongxiang to see the play?"

"No." Ji Xuan whispered, "I came to see you."

His eyes are bright, his lips are ruddy, and his affectionate appearance seems to be really Pianpian Jialang. It's just this kind of nonsense that Jiang Li won't believe. She said with a smile, "I came to see my play."

"There's no way. It's hard for Miss Jiang Er to be so special that people don't pay attention." Holding a cup of tea in her hand, Ji Heng gently blew a mouthful of floating leaves floating on the water and casually said, "the second miss's trip to Xiangyang is for the trip to Tongxiang, right? As for the purpose of the trip to Tongxiang, is it for the Xuejia case?"

Jiang Li paused, looked up at him, and said with a smile, "the Lord knows everything. Why bother to ask me?" In such a short time, Ji Heng knew again. But she can't avoid this kind of thing.

"I don't understand, so I asked the second young lady." Ji Xuan's mouth was crooked. "What's the relationship between the second miss and the Xue family?"

His amber eyes were full of serious doubts for a moment, as if he really waited for an answer from Jiang Li. He looked like an evil teenager with malicious innocence.

"The Lord of the country has great powers. If you really want to know, you will know it without my saying." Jiang Li Dao.

"The second young lady seems unwilling to say."

"Didn't the LORD have guessed it long ago?"

Neither of them let anyone. They both smiled and whispered softly, but they seemed to have sparks overflowing and knives splashing with blood. Bai Xue and tong'er stood aside, and they were too nervous to see the atmosphere.

Ji Heng took a sip of tea calmly and said, "the second young lady has always been invincible, but this time, things are not so simple."

"What I do is never easy." Jiang Li smiles.

"If you want to save Xue Huaiyuan, you are a fool." He said.

Jiang Li put her fingertips on the edge of the tea cup and said as if unintentionally, "as long as adults don't interfere, it's not a fool's dream."

"Oh?" Ji Hu smiled, "are you asking me?"

"If the request is useful," Jiang Li looked at him, "I sincerely ask your excellency."

Ji Heng looked at her for a while and said, "I thought the second Miss would never bow with others."

Jiang Li smiled: "the adult looked at me wrong. My bones are very light."

Ji Hong choked.

Jiang Li, however, seemed to be obstinately seeking an answer and asked, "I wonder if your excellency can agree to my request."

Ji Heng didn't answer Jiang Li's words, but asked, "the second young lady may not know who she will meet if she gets involved in the Xue family's case."

"I know." Jiang Li gently interrupted his words.

Ji Xuan was slightly stunned and looked at Jiang Li inquiringly. At least from the eyes of others, Jiang Li and the Xue family are not related to each other. Afraid that Jiang Yuanbai didn't know it, Jiang Li did such a thing in Tongxiang. Few people in Beiyan know the secret behind Xue Huaiyuan's case. Jiang Li has nothing to do with the Xue family, and it has nothing to do with that one. Will she know?

Ji Heng suddenly thought that Jiang Li had also used Meng Hongjin's hand to shoot a cold arrow at Princess Yongning during the previous verification of the Mingyi hall. It seemed that she had a lot of resentment with Princess Yongning. In this way, she said she knew, it was true.

Ji Heng's eyes flashed a trace of interest.

He couldn't find the intersection of Jiang Li and Yongning, the intersection of Jiang Li and Xue Huaiyuan, or even the connection between Jiang Li and them. In fact, because Jiang Li's experience is simple, it's easy to inquire about her past. But everything she sat on was aimed at Yongning and Xue family.

This is very strange.

"Why do you do this when you know it, second lady?" Ji Heng smiled lightly: "it's not worth getting into big trouble for irrelevant people, or," he pointed out, "isn't it irrelevant?"

"Adults don't have to test me." Jiang Li said, "if you want to know something, you don't have to ask me. My play may not be wonderful, but if you want to watch it, I have to do my best to play it well."

"I'm afraid that before the play is finished, the disaster has gone ahead."

Jiang Li laughed: "the Lord kindly reminded me that he was not worried about me?"

Wen Ji looked at it with astonishment. Few women in the world can resist the temptation of adults. Even if she has no love for adults, she will occasionally indulge, especially such a young girl, who is more likely to fall into the trap of adults. But Miss Jiang ER was always sober. Her heart was like an iron wall, which was firm in resistance to the gentleness of adults.

"It wasn't," Ji Heng said with a hook in her mouth. "I've talked too much. I'm really worried about the second miss."

"That's not necessary," Jiang Li also said, "I'll be fine."

"You say so sure, is it worry free?" Ji Xuan shook his head. "You don't know what you're facing."

"I know. They will send someone to kill me, even if I'm a miss of the Jiang family." Yongning won't be afraid of her because she is Jiang Yuanbai's daughter. That woman is already crazy. She wants to torture the Xue family wholeheartedly. As long as he blocks Yongning's way, Yongning will eradicate it without hesitation. At most, she let Feng Yutang carry all the blame.

Jiang Li's tone was so calm that it seemed that she was not talking about life and death, but about what to eat tonight. Even Wen Ji couldn't help looking at her.

Ji Heng sighed, "if so, why are you so persistent?"

"Persistent?" Jiang Li asked gently, like asking herself, or she didn't know who to ask. She smiled in a low voice: "maybe, but sometimes, without persistence, living is meaningless." She became Miss Jiang Er, not to enjoy the life of luxury, nor to feel the dignity of being the first daughter, but to personally send her past enemies to the guillotine to pay tribute to the spirits of her relatives in heaven.

Ji Xuan looked at Jiang Li's expression in her eyes, and a strange color flashed in her eyes.

The girl is in the mood for love. She is bright and lovely. She has a pair of smart and clear eyes. Unlike the daughter of the aristocratic family, she is always calm and calm. Even if she is surprised, she is just like a small stone thrown into an abyss, arousing a little splash, and soon disappears.

She is an alien in Yanjing City, which is quite different from other girls in Yanjing city. It's like a strange plant growing in a flower bed full of precious flowers and plants. It looks docile and harmless, standing there quietly and lovable. But when the prey came in, she would stretch out her branches, firmly grasp the prey, and then don't let go, devouring it with an absolutely ferocious attitude.

Beneath her seemingly gentle appearance, there is a calm ferocity. The biggest danger of this plant is that it is not afraid of its opponent. Whether it is a poisonous tongue or a beast, her devouring posture is merciless and fearless.

She is the most special existence in the flower garden. If such a fierce and lethal plant is raised in the house, the whole house will be peaceful. Ji Heng's brain, inexplicably emerged with this idea.

And in front of Jiang Li, the appearance of drooping eyes turned out to be a trace of pity. This fierce plant also has a sad appearance, which is amazing and puzzling. I don't know whether it is the camouflage it uses to trap prey, or a moment of truth.

Seeing Ji Heng staring at herself thoughtfully, Jiang Li put away her emotions and said with a smile, "it's my honor to see adults here. Every time I go on stage to sing, adults are also present. Maybe we are really destined."

Ji Heng almost laughed. It was really interesting. The little girl clearly hated her teeth, but she still showed this sincere look without changing her face.

"Aren't you afraid that I spoiled your play?" Ji Heng's leisurely way.

Jiang Li looked at him and said, "really? But I think about it, and the Duke of the country has no reason to do so."

"Can't you think of a reason?" Ji Heng asked with a smile, "it seems that the second Miss thinks I'm too kind, or has she forgotten the relationship between the Li family and me." He seemed to deliberately remind Jiang Li, "didn't you see me and the Li family in the Palace Banquet garden?"

Jiang Li's heart was surprised for a moment. At that time, she did recognize that it was Li Jing's men who spoke with Ji Heng, but she didn't show it. Moreover, the Jiang family and the Li family are at odds. As a daughter of the boudoir, she is not in Yanjing all the year round, and it is impossible to know the people under Li Jing. No one should doubt it.

But unexpectedly, Ji Heng already knew that she recognized each other. Perhaps at that time, his short surprise had been seen by Ji Heng. At that time, Ji Heng already knew that she knew her. At that time, Ji Heng looked on coldly as she acted.

Jiang Li said, "so?"

"So?" Ji Heng asked rhetorically.

"When you are with the Li family, you must be on the side of the Li family?" Jiang Li said with a smile, "I don't think that my grandfather and I may not be a grasshopper in the future."

Wen Ji was so surprised that his always calm face was a little strained. Did Miss Jiang Er dare to say such words to adults? At the beginning, when Cheng Wang wanted to win over Ji Heng, he didn't dare to say so.

Ji Xuan quietly looked at Jiang Li. Jiang Li's smile at the corners of her mouth never wavered, soft and appropriate, looking at him like the spring breeze.

"Are you really smart or fake smart?" He asked softly.

Jiang Li smiled, "who knows."

There was silence in the room, and no one spoke.

Jiang Li looked at the tea in front of her. The hot pekoe silver needle. The weather was cold, and it had instantly become warm. Time passed a lot.

"That's all for today." Jiang Li said with a smile, "my uncle is still waiting for me outside, and I have to go back. Thank you for your reminding me," she said with a smile, "I hope I can sing this play to the best, so that my grandfather can watch it with all his heart."

Between her words, she seemed to be a playboy for fun, without any mention of self-esteem. However, in the eyes of people, they are much more respected than those big ladies in Yanjing who speak with a good accent and boast of dignity.

The bones of Jiang Li are not light at all. They are not only heavy, but also hard. Maybe she bent down to stand higher in the future.

Ji Xuan looked at her meaningfully, "goodbye."

Jiang Li saluted Ji Chen, got up and left the pub.

She left in a hurry, but this hurry did not seem to be in a hurry to avoid Ji Heng, so she left in a hurry. She left in a hurry, as if she had more important and urgent things to do. For fear of wasting a little time, she almost trotted out.

In front of the window, Ji Xuan looked at Jiang Li and walked across the street. Squatting Ye Mingyu stood up, glanced at this end, and walked out with Jiang Li.

"It seems really anxious." Ji Hong laughed.

"It's because Xue Huaiyuan will be executed in seven days." Wen Ji said, "unfortunately, I can't find the place where Miss Jiang Er is related to Xue Huaiyuan."

"It's not Xue Huaiyuan, it's the Xue family." Ji Tao.

"Shen Ruyun is Xue Fangfei's sister-in-law. Jiang Li plans Shen Ruyun. Xue Zhao is Xue Fangfei's brother. Jiang Li worships Xue Zhao. Xue Huaiyuan is Xue Fangfei's biological father. Now Jiang Li is going to rehabilitate Xue Huaiyuan." Ji Xuan's voice was very calm, "don't you think it's too coincident? It's all Xue's family."

Wen Ji said, "the Xue family case concerns your highness Royal Highness Princess." Others don't know the origin, but they can't hide it from them.

"Haven't you seen it yet?" Ji Heng said, "she already knew. She knew, she was not afraid."
