Chapter 271 - 109: Seven Days_4
Jiang Li? Feng Yutang mulled over the name in his mind. Tongxiang wasn’t large, and he could name most of the people of Tongxiang. Even those whose names he couldn’t recall were familiar faces. And Jiang Li was definitely not from Tongxiang because he would not have missed noticing such a striking woman if she were a local.
At this moment, Feng Yutang actually felt relieved. Although the tall fellow looked fierce, two fists can’t contend with four hands, and he wouldn’t be able to leave the county government office eventually. As for this little beauty, she seemed quite interesting; perhaps he should keep her to savor slowly. For now, though, she could be a bit of amusement, playing along with her wasn’t a bad idea.
He spoke deliberately, "What? Does the young lady tell this official her name so that I shall remember you and call you by it?" There was a hint of suggestiveness in his tone.
The entire room of government officers burst into laughter. This was nothing like a county government office, it seemed more like a gathering place for ruffians, filled with a rabble.
Upon hearing this, Ye Mingyu became even more furious and cursed, "You disgraceful cur!" At this moment, he also began to regret it inwardly. He had confidently brought Jiang Li here, thinking after all it was the county office; no matter how excessive things got, at least a show of propriety was expected. It was the same with Tong Zhiyang from Xiangyang who still considered the public opinion. He hadn’t expected that the magistrate of Tongxiang would be so disgraceful, no better than a street thug. To even dare to publicly harass Jiang Li in the courthouse was audacious!
Jiang Li looked at Feng Yutang with a cold eye, who had replaced all the officers that followed Xue Huaiyuan with his own men. Like master, like servant – the brutal and vicious Yongning had dogs like Feng Yutang, a sly cur, and Feng Yutang, being greedy and lecherous, surrounded himself with a bunch of nauseating ’officials.’
And they had turned this clear and bright court into a filthy and vile place.
Jiang Li said, "Lord Feng is the ruler of this Tongxiang, knowing every citizen’s name – indeed, a good official, always busy with official duties. It’s natural not to recognize me, after all, this isn’t Yanjing."
Feng Yutang was initially listening to Jiang Li with a somewhat proud smile, but as she reached the last few words, his smile gradually faded, and he asked, "Yanjing."
