Part 1 - The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter

☆ Chapter 050 Taking Advantage of Power

"Jiang family in Yanjing, the daughter of the Prime Minister, Jiang Er." Jiang Li said.

With just one sentence, the crowd that was clamouring and discussing fell silent.

Liu Zimin was waiting to ridicule Jiang Li when she said it, but the moment he heard this, he froze in his place.

Most people know Jiang Youyao is the daughter of the Prime Minister in Yanjing City. The girl in front of him has already introduced herself. She is the second daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Li, who left Yanjing eight years ago.

Although the youngest son of Tai Changqing can walk sideways in Yanjing City, everyone knows that Jiang Yuanbo, the emperor's mentor, cannot be offended.

But Liu Zimin is already in a difficult situation. If he admits his mistake here, how can he survive in Yanjing City in the future? Moreover, if he admits his crime and people know that he used a fake painting to blackmail Ye Shijie's money, his classmates in the Imperial College will laugh at him to death, and his family's reputation will be ruined. His father will beat him to death.

He made up his mind and thought that he had beaten the sons of people with higher status than him in the whole Yanjing City. Some young masters of other families, although they have a big family, are soft-hearted. Jiang Li is just a little girl. If he scares her a few words, she might give in.

Liu Zimin sneered and looked at Jiang Li: "Although you are a member of the Jiang family, your father may not protect you. Don't think you can talk nonsense just because you mention the Jiang family. If I say this painting is real, it is real. You and this kid are in cahoots, don't bring trouble upon yourself!" As he said, he raised his fist.

This is a real threat.

Jiang Youyao, who was watching all this from afar in the carriage, had her eyes lit up. She wished that Liu Zimin would beat Jiang Li here immediately. In this way, Jiang Li's reputation would only fall again and again when she clashed with men on the street. No matter how biased Jiang Yuanbo was with her, he would be angry this time.

Besides, Jiang Youyao also laughed at Liu Zimin's bad behaviour. If Liu Zimin took action, it would not matter whether it was a man or a woman, and it would be a serious injury or a minor injury.

"Liu Zimin," Ye Shijie frowned and blocked Jiang Li to the side: "The grudge between you and me has nothing to do with others, so don't hurt the innocent."

Liu Zimin laughed: "That's what I mean." He looked at Jiang Li, meaning that Jiang Li had better not interfere in this matter.

If it were someone else, Jiang Li might endure it now, but she inherited Xue Huaiyuan's clear distinction between grudges and hatred of evil since she was a child, and Ye Shijie was still her relative. Jiang Li raised her lips and said, "It just so happens that I am the least afraid of getting into trouble. Young Master, you may have forgotten why I left Yanjing City eight years ago."

The guests were all shocked!

Eight years ago, Jiang Li left Yanjing City because she committed the crime of killing her stepbrother. Others were busy covering up their evil deeds, but Jiang Li took the initiative to speak out, as if she was afraid that others would not know.

It's really a pot that is not open.

Ye Shijie looked at Jiang Li in surprise, as if he didn't expect Jiang Li to say such a sentence. Jiang Li was calm and looked at Liu Zimin peacefully.

Liu Zimin suddenly felt some cold sweat on his forehead.

Others probably didn't know what Jiang Li meant by this, but Liu Zimin noticed it at the first time. Jiang Li meant that she even killed her stepbrother, so what else could she not do? A threat from Liu Zimin, really didn't take it seriously.

Liu Zimin should have been angry about this provocation, but looking into Jiang Li's eyes, he felt scared.

Yes, he was a bully. Although he was not a perpetrator of all evil in Yanjing City, he was almost the same. He even had several lives on his hands, but the lives he took were all from civilians who were much less powerful than him, not from officials who were equal to him or even higher in status.

When facing a family with greater power than his own, Liu Zimin's personality of bullying the weak and fearing the strong would force him to be cautious, but when he was cautious, the people on the other side were not afraid at all, and even had a kind of cruelty that barefoot people were not afraid of wearing shoes.

So, the weak became weaker, and the strong became stronger. In a blink of an eye, Liu Zimin had fallen behind.

Jiang Li saw Liu Zimin's flickering eyes and knew that Liu Zimin had wavered.

Xue Huaiyuan was the county magistrate of Tongxiang County, but he was an honest and upright official, and sometimes he dared to expose officials of higher ranks than himself. Such a person has a very good reputation among the people, but his colleagues hate him very much.

Colleagues hate him, and their children hate him too. From childhood to adulthood, she and Xue Zhao had no idea how many troubles those young men and women from official families had caused her.

She was fine, because the women would never fight each other. Xue Zhao was miserable, because those young men would fight over a disagreement, and Xue Zhao always went home with a bruised face. As time went by, Xue Zhao also learned some experience. For ruthless people, what you have to do is to be more ruthless than them, and you can't lose your momentum no matter what. Those ruthless things in the past should be shown to others first to suppress the opponent's momentum. Once the opponent's momentum is weak, don't give them a chance, and your momentum will rise steadily, and you will definitely win.

Xue Zhao relied on his momentum and martial arts, and no one dared to provoke him in Tongxiang County.

As soon as Jiang Li saw Liu Zimin's style, she knew that Liu Zimin was a bully. And she had the Jiang family as a backer, so she didn't have to think about it at all, and she could defeat Liu Zimin without any effort.

Killing stepbrother is a bad name, but this bad name can sometimes make people scared and avoid many unnecessary troubles.

"How shameless." Jiang Youyao gritted her teeth: "Such a shameful thing is still publicized, it really makes my father lose face!"

Seeing Liu Zimin standing still, Jiang Li said: "This young master must think that I am talking nonsense, then follow what the young master said at the beginning and report it to the police. I am also involved in this case, so I will go with you."

Liu Zimin was anxious and angry!

He said to report to the police at that time, just to scare Ye Shijie. As long as he opened up the channels, it would be easy to trap Ye Shijie who had no connections in Yanjing City. But it was different when Jiang Li was involved. Jiang Li was a young lady of the Jiang family. Even for the face of the Jiang family, this case would only be handled impartially. In the end, he failed to gain anything by stealing, and not only did he not earn Ye Shijie's money, but he also got himself into trouble. He also affected his father's reputation.

In a blink of an eye, Liu Zimin was already sweating. He looked at Jiang Li, and he really didn't understand how a little girl who had been in the temple for eight years and was despised by the family could have such confidence and how could she be so persistent?

"However," when Liu Zimin was in a dilemma, Jiang Li suddenly smiled and said, "I think this matter is probably just a misunderstanding. After all, the young master doesn't look like someone who will deliberately blackmail others. I think he was deceived by others when he thought this painting was real. In this case, why don't we make peace and let Young Master Ye pay twenty taels of silver and let this matter go?"

In Liu Zimin's ears, Jiang Li's words sounded like heavenly music, which was giving him a way out.

How? Of course!
