Rebirth : Grand Marshal's Wllful Fiancée-Chapter 10 - Do You Want to Rebel?
Looking at Tao Feng's expression, Jiang Feng jia knew that she had won half the battle today.
Tan Yang was a very special place where the Prefecture Guards had more power to hold down the civil servant group headed by Tao Feng. In Jiang Feng jia's last life, the reason the government officials had been directed against Jiang Family was because Zhang Cheng, the commander of Prefecture Guards, put pressure on the government behind the scenes. Besides, it was also because of the support of Zhang Cheng that Ling Family dared to act so presumptuously.
The Prefecture Guards almost laid down the law in Tan Yang. The Prefecture Guards commander, Zhang Cheng, was actually the local tyrant.
However, Tao Feng was extremely unwilling to obey Zhang Cheng's orders when he wanted to do something. What Wang shi said was like a knife poked at Tao Feng's heart.
Wang shi bit her lips. She also knew that she had deeply offended Tao Feng. It would be more difficult to restore the relationship with Tao Feng in the future. But Ling Yuanling was crying for help, which tore at her heart,stirring rage. Therefore, even if she had to offend Tao Feng openly, she had to stall for time to wait for Zhang Cheng to save her daughter.
Wang shi said, "Your honor, Commander Zhang always appreciates Yuanling and treats her like a pearl in his hand. Now, you don't tell Commander Zhang before arresting Yuanling. Isn't it too much?"
After her words were finished, Jiang Feng jia sneered mockingly .
Wang shi's eyes, flared with animosity and coldness, immediately turned to Jiang Feng jia. Her tone was also as cold as frost, "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at you. You are truly an ignorant and stupid woman." Jiang Feng jia sneered.
"How dare you! You not only interrupt when elders are speaking, but also dare to calumniate me. How arrogant of you!" Wang shi blamed with anger. She said maliciously, "It's definitely true that people without parents to teach would lack proper dignified bearing."
Jiang Feng jia's eyes quickly became cold. Ha!,if I had parents like you, I would rather have no parents. Having a stupid mother like you, Ling Yuanling is so unlucky. Having a hostess like you, Ling Family's deceased ancestors must be infuriated to the extent of even climbing out of their graves."
"According to the law, Prefecture Guards can't intervene in local government affairs, and military and political affairs mustn't be mixed. But now you want the Prefecture Guards to prevent the chief executive of Tan Yang to handle the case, and to threaten him by using the military power to oppress the government. Mrs. Ling, does it follow that your Ling family override all laws? Does it follow that Commander Zhang Cheng has been with you to slight the law and ignore the warnings of His Majesty? Does it follow that the whole Tan Yang belongs to Zhang Cheng and your Ling Family, and that you are secretly nursing the treacherous intention to rebel?"
Jiang Feng jia's just and severe words lashed out like cold wind shocking others, and everyone's face changed slightly.
Wang shi turned ghastly pale immediately. Under the doubtful eyes of Tao Feng and others, she defended urgently, "No. Your honor, please make a judicious judgement. I never have such an intention."
Although Wang shi was always calm, as a woman, she was inevitably panicked when Jiang Feng jia charged her with treason.
Tao Feng became more serious. He looked at Jiang Feng jia with satisfaction before he said to Wang shi strictly, "Save your breath. You can save your defense for the court!"
Wang shi stepped back with her tight lips trembling. She was frightened by Jiang Feng jia and her chest heaved with suppressed rage. But she could not find anything to refute.
"Ah. Young miss!"
"Crash!"
Five young women, including Ling Yuanling, had been tied up. But one of them suddenly broke free from the bondage and started to scream hysterically, kicking and smashing things. What she broke were the pot plants that had been moved by Jiang Feng jia to make the illusion trap,including the pot of strongly-scented flower.
Jiang Feng jia wrinkled her brow slightly, and then her expression relaxed.
She had achieved her goal.The illusive trap was no longer needed, she thought. So it was great having it destroyed, in case other people recognized it.
The guards quickly subdued the hysterical woman forcing her back into restraints.
The commotion ,however , had drawn attention away from Wang Shi momentarily, giving her composure. Her eyes narrowed as she observed Jiang Feng jia's fleeting reaction to the destroyed plant , reaction so subtle that only someone watching carefully would notice.
'Strange that she'd show such a reaction to mere plants' Wang shi pondered quietly 'Could there be something here?'
