Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 99 Part 2

Chapter 99 Part 2: Resolve

Someone asked: “Second Miss Jiang, the Weaving Unit Government Office can be in charge of this matter?”

“The land under your feet is the land of Northern Yan. The commoners are the people of the Son of Heaven and the officials are working for the people. The Weaving Unit’s existence is precisely to resolve any problems that arise in the weaving manufacture, so naturally they will handle the matters. It’s just that now Tong Zhi Yang’s actions are very weird, not only failing to report this matter to his superior, but still thinking of resolving this himself. Such a huge matter, has he resolved it?” There’s a right amount of disdain in Jiang Li’s tone.

“Why didn’t Magistrate Tong report this matter?”

“That’s currently unknown.” Jiang Li indicated, “Perhaps Magistrate Tong has been an official in Xiangyang for a long time so he is not clear on the fundamental government order of duties. With the whole world in mind, he wants to use his own effort to do everything.” Jiang Li laughed sincerely, “Such a good official, when I return to Yanjing, I must inform father and let him know there’s such a person. Placing him in Xiangyang as a magistrate is truly wasting his talents.”

The crowd roared with laughter at once.

Everyone could detect the sarcasm in Jiang Li’s words. Even an idiot would know that this Magistrate Tong was afraid to have run into bad luck. Jiang second miss did not look like someone easy to push around. If she brought this matter to Jiang Yuan Bai, naturally Jiang Yuan Bai would realize that Tong Zhi Yang had overstepped his duties.

“Magistrate Tong worries about the country and the people and wants to try the case himself. But we cannot let him tire himself.” Jiang Li mocked, “I have already written a letter to my father about this matter. After he receives the letter, he will personally find the Weaving Unit Office to explain. So very soon, the people from the Weaving Unit Office would come to Xiangyang.”

“Really?”

“I, with the identity of the Jiang family’s miss, swear to all of you.” Jiang Li smiled.

Her eyes bent, her smile was like the blooming of flowers in warm spring, unwittingly softening the hostile atmosphere just now.

“I believe that everyone here at this moment did not come just to smash Li Zheng Tang, but rather to resolve this matter. There are rules to handle things, supposed that the Ye family was truly in the wrong, the Ye family would naturally admit it. But before the Weaving Unit officials come, the Ye family does not want to assume responsibility for a groundless accusation. Today, to all the people who come here, the day is no longer early and it’s been exhausting. What we can do, we will try our best to do it. Tong’er,” she instructed the servant girl, “bring the silver bank notes out.”

Jiang Li said: “I’d like to request everyone’s help. I hope that everyone can bring back the ancient fragrant satin that everyone has bought to be kept as evidence. Of course, when you bring it back, we will compensate you with silver. Apart from the original price of the ancient fragrant satin, there will also be some compensation. We are sparing no effort to look for a satisfactory conclusion to this matter. However, we still have to ask everyone to give the Ye family some time. Please believe the Ye family. After all, many years have passed before and there has never been any problems from the Ye family.” She said: “Based on the previous friendship, it’s not too much to ask for trust at this time, right?”

She spoke very earnestly.

The girl speaking seriously looked beautiful, in addition, the solution she proposed was also beautiful, the money was even more beautiful. In the final analysis, the purpose of the people who came today was nothing but to seek money. If there’s really a problem, the Ye family was not a doctor and could not make the red rashes on their body get better. At most they would give money to call a doctor to cure.

Jiang Li used both carrot and stick, disabling anybody from showing off their cleverness and taking small advantages. The most important thing was they could not do anything in the face of the chief assistant’s daughter.

Moreover, Jiang Li pushed the root cause onto Tong Zhi Yang. If Tong Zhi Yang had reported to the Weaving Unit earlier, the Ye family’s problem would have been resolved earlier. How would it drag until now?

Someone said: “Then let’s do it like that. Miss Jiang second, the person from the Weaving Unit must come to Xiangyang must be asked to come faster, okay?!”

“Yes, it must not be dragged any longer.”

Jiang Li said: “Don’t worry, everyone, please pass the ancient fragrant satin you have to us. These will also be given to the Weaving Unit. I’m afraid if they are not given to the Weaving Unit, Magistrate Tong will strive to handle this himself.”

The commoners laughed heartily. This time, there wasn’t anymore of the previous hostility, each and every one of them looked for the ancient fragrant satin to pass them to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li gave an eye signal to Ye Jia Er and she immediately instructed the subordinates to prepare manpower and money. She also relaxed a bit. A problem which could be solved with money was not a problem, just treat it as suffering financial loss to avoid disasters. If Jiang Li was not here today to control the situation, a huge trouble might have occurred. Before leaving, Ye Ming Hui had specially handed over Li Zheng Tang for the brother and sister. If Ye Ming Hui and Ye Ming Xuan returned to the Ye family and saw the messy Li Zheng Tang, Ye Ru Feng and she would not have the face to see them.

Thinking up to here, Ye Jia Er’s heart was filled to the brim with gratefulness.

Ye Ru Feng looked complicatedly at Jiang Li. Since young, he was aware of the malicious words spewed by Jiang Li towards the Ye family. He also knew her bad reputation of “harming the mother and murdering the younger brother”. Thus, Ye Ru Feng loathed Jiang Li extremely and not willing not associate with her. Unexpectedly today, Jiang Li was the one who solved the encirclement on behalf of the Ye family. Although she moved out Jiang Yuan Bai’s name, and could be regarded as kicking people around, her calm and collected manner was something that he did not have.

This person.... Truly made people unable to like nor dislike. Ye Ru Feng was tangled inside.

Upstairs, in the tearoom across, Ji Heng was looking out. He asked: “What do you think of the play?”

Lu Ji clapped his hands and said: “I only know today, a 15 years old girl can have such a big ability. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I would think it was just a story someone made up.”

“Yes.” Ji Heng softly let out a breath, “15 years old, can already pick a big name and sing a major play.”

“She responded well this time, but isn’t she afraid that Chief Assistant Jiang in the capital would find out about this matter and blame it on her?” Lu Ji said: “However, Jiang Yuan Bai is a very crafty old fox and would avoid this kind of trouble. On the contrary, his daughter has unexpectedly willingly used her power.”

“Didn’t you find out?” Ji Heng pointed at the window with his fan, “She deliberately brought Jiang Yuan Bai out.”

“Huh? Because Jiang Yuan Bai is the chief assistant, Tong Zhi Yang will be afraid to some extent? But there’s the Li family behind Tong Zhi Yang.....”

“That is be correct.” Ji Heng smiled playfully, “Jiang second miss simply wants the Jiang family and the Li family to face each other, intensifying their contradiction, unable to reconcile.”

Lu Ji stared blankly: “Why?”

“That would depend on what she’s planning.”
