Chapter 13 - The Confession of the Four People (1/2)

In the northwest frontier, the army of the Great Yue had just returned with victory.

“Marshal, will you go back to the capital to report on your work?” said Jiang Xi, the right deputy of northwest army of the Great Yue, who was following closely behind a tall man.

“No.” The answer of the front person to him was a short and powerful rejection.

“Marshal, you haven’t returned to the capital for three years. If you don’t go back again, those in the capital will definitely be dissatisfied. By that time, they will vent their anger on me, your humble subordinate. As your humble subordinate has defended you for three times, please go back this time. “Jiang Xi almost cried as he pleaded.

But unfortunately, the person in front of him still remained unmoved and answered Jiang Xi with a cold back.

“Lao Jiang, quickly help me to persuade the marshal.” The right deputy was hurt by the marshal’s coldness, turning to look at the northwest army’s left deputy — Jiang Ke, who walked beside Jiang Xi.

Wearing a calm face, Jiang Ke said to the tall man who was walking in front of them, “Marshal, I heard that your aunt is making arrangement for your marriage. And she frequently visited the n.o.ble families of the capital in the past few days, which made your marriage become a hot topic in the capital. There is a possibility that our emperor will take action. Together with this victory, if our emperor grants a marriage with an imperial edict, you will have to go back to the capital whether you want it or not.”

The person in front stopped. And the right deputy saw a glimmer of hope, looking at his back with expectation.

“Inform others to have a meeting in marshal’s tent two hours later, and I will set off for the capital in three days.” The person in front said.

“What a mighty marshal!” The right deputy jumped excitedly, “I’ll go get them here as soon as possible!”

Jiang Ke calmly followed in the footsteps of the person in front, and didn’t feel strange about Jiang Xi’s failure to hide his moods.

……

Prefecture Yamen, Tanyang.

After the sounding of the gavel, the court was immediately in a solemn atmosphere.

“Jia Yuanling, why did you frame Ling Zhang?” Tao Feng asked.

“I didn’t frame Ling Zhang. That was what he did!” Jia Yuanling said, clenching his teeth.
