Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 112 Part 1: Dongshan


After learning from the grandmother’s mouth that Xue Huai Yuan’s former subordinates were sent to Dongshan, Ye Ming Yu asked someone to send the grandmother back. Just as Jiang Li thought, because the mute grandmother was advanced in age, in addition, outsiders thought that she was mute, Feng Yu Tang also didn’t take the mute grandmother seriously. Thus no one noticed when Ye Ming Yu’s people sent the mute grandmother back.


Inside the room, Jiang Li and Ye Ming Yu sat facing each other as before. It’s already very late, but the two people did not feel sleepy at all. Ye Ming Yu looked at Jiang Li and said, “Ah Li, this is not a simple matter.”


Ye Ming Yu knew from the beginning that the Xue family’s case was no small matter, after all, it was reversing a guilty verdict. As long as a different view was presented, let the injustice be washed clean, it’s necessary to infringe on some people’s interest. The current county deputy of Tongxiang, Feng Yu Tang, was clearly not a good person. The thing that Jiang Li wanted to do certainly would not be simple.


But the words said by the mute grandmother had greatly gone beyond Ye Ming Yu’s expectation. Feng Yu Tang actually dared to brazenly turn the previous officers into slaves and controlled other people’s life and death as he wished. This could be said as being extremely rampant and brutal. Ye Ming Yu absolutely would not believe if he said that there’s no powerful backing behind him. Although Jiang Yuan Bai was the chief assistant, powerful people in Northern Yan were not just him alone.


Ye Ming Yu thought he already didn’t dare to underestimate this matter’s seriousness already, but it seemed that he still underestimated it.


Jiang Li looked at Ye Ming Yu. Upon seeing his grave expression, she understood the worry in Ye Ming Yu’s heart. She said, “I know, uncle, but I don’t plan to give up.”


Ye Ming Yu had expected this sentence. Jiang Li spent so much effort, even opposing Feng Yu Tang with no hesitation, presumably, she really would not give up so easily. Moreover, it was not in line with Jiang Li’s temper. In addition, Ye Ming Yu thought Jiang Li’s understanding of this matter was much more than his.


He was a boorish man, not as good as eldest Ye or second Ye’s smart brains. He couldn’t think of any good strategy to help Jiang Li, just do things according to Jiang Li’s explanation. Within the scope of his capacity, he would spare no effort to assist Jiang Li.


Thus, Ye Ming Yu only felt tangled for a little while before he frankly said, “Since that’s the case, Ah Li, I won’t persuade you anymore. As to what to do next, what you want to do, you just need to speak, uncle is with you.”


These words warmed Jiang Li’s heart. She said, “Even though the mute grandmother said that those people are now in Dongshan, a long time has passed, it’s unknown whether Feng Yu Tang and the others moved the people away or whether they are still alive.” Jiang Li paused before continuing, “Uncle also heard what the grandmother said. Life is difficult in the mine, Feng You Tang’s intention is to torment them, it’s unknown how long normal people can persevere over there.”


“What you said makes sense.” Ye Ming Yu said, “I’ll first bring a few people to Dongshan and personally look at the circumstances of those people there. Tongxiang is not big, so it should not be difficult to make a round trip to Dongshan overnight.”


Jiang Li continued, “Not only that, if they were really in Dongshan, Feng Yu Tang would definitely have arranged for someone to supervise the laborers. Uncle’s people should carefully see how many people there are, whether they can be avoided and not alarming them. If alarming them could not be avoided, whether it’s possible to seize all of them within a short time to prevent them from notifying Feng Yu Tang. If reinforcements come, it will be more difficult for us to move.”


Ye Ming Yu laughed mischievously, “Don’t worry, the matter of threatening people, your uncle, I, am already experienced.”


Jiang Li nodded, “I don’t know if uncle can give me an answer by tomorrow?”


“So fast?” Ye Ming Yu was surprised.


“I really don’t mean to make things difficult for uncle.” Jiang Li had an apologetic expression on her face, “it’s really because the time left for us is not much. County Deputy Xue will be sentenced in seven days, if no sufficient evidence that could suspend the sentence could be found before the seven days, everything will be in vain.”


Ye Ming Yu sighed, knowing that what Jiang Li said was reasonable. If Xue Huai Yuan was dead, there’s no point in doing other things since the person was already dead. He said, “Ok, I’ll try my utmost for once. Ah Li, when I’m not around, wait in the house for me, pay attention to safety.”


Jiang Li said, “Okay.” She took out the previously drawn map of Tongxiang from her sleeve and handed it to Ye Ming Yu. She said, “This is the map of Tongxiang that I drew according to what people said. Take it, uncle, it can be used when necessary. I can also draw a map of Dongshan, but have to wait for a while.”


Ye Ming Yu took the map. After seeing the map, the densely packed drawings and the fine markings written on it, he was stumped for a moment. Jiang Li said that this was something that she drew according to what people said. However, when Ye Ming Yu was following the sea merchants, he knew that this kind of detailed map could only be drawn by someone who was very familiar with the environment, not by others simply by listening.


He didn’t say anything, merely laughed heartily and said, “Good, good, good, with this map, I think half of the work at hand will lighten by half. Ah Li, the rest will be left to you. I’ll leave first to give instructions to the brothers.”


Ye Ming Yu walked outside to give instructions to his brothers. Jiang Li looked at his rear figure, feeling both guilty and moved. Ye Ming Yu was clearly aware of many doubtful points, yet because of her, he did not ask anything and instead, trusted her. This trust was extremely precious and she would remember this in her heart forever. Since arriving in Tongxiang, Ye Ming Yu had always stood by her side, helping her. This evening, he would set off on an overnight trip without rest. Jiang Li was not willing to let him work so hard, but on the other side was his father.


She believed when she was thinking of a countermeasure, Feng Yu Tang was definitely also finding ways to notify the current circumstances in Tongxiang to Princess Yongning. Once Princess Yongning was aware of this matter, without a doubt, she would quickly think of ways for Feng Yu Tang to block her. However, Jiang believed the biggest possibility was that Yongning would directly order Feng Yu Tang to kill her.


For her and Feng Yu Tang, the crucial point of this conflict was time. Whoever was faster would have more chances of winning. She did not dare to stop for a rest and she could not afford to waste a single moment.


“Tong’er, help me grind the ink.” Jiang Li said.
