Part 1 - The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter

☆ Chapter 109 Seven Days

Jiang Li and Ye Mingyu followed the team of officials.

In the tavern, the people who had just left gradually gathered again. They looked at the backs of the pedestrians. Although they did not speak, they exchanged glances with each other. If the historian who recorded history saw it, he would be greatly shocked. Now the reality of "road-to-road".

Not sure if they were afraid of what Jiang Li said, and they were afraid of causing unnecessary trouble for themselves, so the leading officers and soldiers did not let their men escort them forward. Instead, they stood between Jiang Li and Ye Mingyu. 

Ye Mingyu looked calm, and Jiang Li was smiling. It seemed that these officers and soldiers were like the guards of the Ye family, protecting their safety on both sides.

Jiang Li had walked the road from the tavern to the county government office too many times. As she walked, she paid attention to the surroundings. Tongxiang was still the same Tongxiang, and it looked no different from before, but Jiang Li found that the people had changed.

When the people passing by saw these officials, they all took a detour and looked panicked, as if they had seen bandits. Some of the familiar small shops on the street were closed, and some were changed. 

The most obvious thing is that in the past, Tongxiang, the people walked on the street with yellow hair and long hair, leisurely and contented. Today, in Tongxiang, everyone has a deep tiredness on their faces and is lifeless.

It seems that the newly appointed county magistrate, who replaced Xue Huaiyuan, is not a good official who is honest and loves the people. It makes sense. If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. It is easy to imagine what kind of character a person who works for Yongning is.

When Jiang Li first came to Tongxiang, she did not know what identity the person behind the scenes was in to do these things, so she did a ‘beating the rough to scare the snake’. Now the snake was startled and took the initiative to find her, which just confirmed her guess in her heart - Yongning found someone on the official road.

People like Yongning who hold power and claim to be a golden branch and jade leaf are of course willing to dominate other people's lives to achieve their own disgusting pleasure. Pull down the original county magistrate and replace him with one of their own people. In order to please Yongning, the newcomer will naturally torture Xue Huaiyuan more and please Yongning.

Jiang Li's palms tightened.

Seeing her pursed her lips and said nothing, Ye Mingyu lowered his head and whispered, "Ali, are you afraid?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "No."

"I'm not afraid either." Ye Mingyu snorted, "But the people in charge of Tongxiang are too arrogant now. It's true that the monkey calls himself the king because the emperor is far away."

"Isn't it?" Jiang Li said softly, "The villain is arrogant when he succeeds."

Ye Mingyu shrugged, "Anyway, you stand behind me later. If there is any danger, these guards will take you away."

Jiang Li laughed. Ye Mingyu was used to traveling in the martial arts world, and he did things the same way as the martial arts people. If you can't beat them, run away. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, uncle, nothing will happen. I can handle it."

Ye Mingyu saw that she really didn't look worried, so he was relieved. Tong'er and Bai Xue were a little uneasy, and they protected Jiang Li more tightly. If this was in Yanjing City, there would be nothing to be afraid of. Everyone would consider Jiang Yuanbai's face. But in this strange county, others might not recognize Jiang Li. What if they don't believe in Jiang Li's identity?
