Chapter 107 - 107: Jingtang’s Letter



Editor: Atlas Studios

Zing-zing!

On a hot summer day, the chirping of cicadas echoed in the garden of the Prince Of Jing Estate.

In the study at the top of Jasper Pavilion, there was a white screen placed by the window to block the sunlight. Dongfang Liren was wearing a thin dress with a black blindfold covering her eyes, holding a three-foot-long saber in her hand motionlessly.

Behind the desk, the petite and exquisite empress dowager lay in a large chair with her legs propped on the armrests, her full and plump buttocks outlined under her dress. She was holding a small furball in her hand and gently throwing it up and catching it. She said in a lazy voice, “Jiang Province is still the best. Winter is warm, summer is cool, and the four seasons are like spring. Speaking of which, I haven’t gone back to visit my family for a few years.”

It’s too hot in summer. The journey of thousands of miles will be too tiring. Empress dowager, you won’t be able to take it…”

Just as Dongfang Liren finished speaking, the empress dowager threw the furball in her hand.

The furball was soft and light, and it didn’t make the slightest sound.

But even so, Dongfang Liren sensed it.

Swoosh!

Dongfang Liren didn’t listen to the sound to determine its position. Instead, the moment the empress dowager raised her hand, she had already raised the saber in her hand and blocked it from the side, her movements clean and efficient.

And then…

Plop!

The little furball hit the fat-headed dragon, bounced to the floor, and rolled away…

The palace maid Hongyu held back her laughter and hurriedly went forward to pick up the little furball and return it to the empress dowager.

The empress dowager praised, “Not bad. You’ve only been practicing for half a month, but you’ve already reached this level. You can be considered a martial arts genius.”

Her words were slightly exaggerated but not too much.

Ye Jingtang had only taught the movements of the Heaven Equaling Saber but didn’t explain the qi circulation method.

In just half a month, Dongfang Liren was able to figure out the qi circulation method according to the guidance of the movements and make it her own. Strictly speaking, she was already at the basic mastery level, but she wasn’t proficient with it.

This learning speed was at least the outstanding talent level in the current era of Jianghu.

In the past, Dongfang Liren would still be complacent. But after meeting Ye Jingtang, she felt that she was ‘little Dongfang Dumdum’. How could she be complacent?

Dongfang Liren patted the fat-headed dragon on her chest, readjusted her posture, and pointed her saber diagonally at the floor. “Empress Dowager, you flatter me. Please continue.”

“Sigh-” The empress dowager had been dragged over by her to help her practice the saber. How could she be interested? She reclined on the chair and continued to play with the little furball. “It’s been quite lively in Ze Province recently. When I chatted with Her Majesty in the morning, she mentioned some things…

“A rich tycoon of Jianghu, the Red Flower Pavilion, suddenly has a young master named Ye Silang. The day before yesterday, he went to the Water Cloud Sword Pool to seek revenge and won a challenge. It’s said that his talent is not bad…”

The empress dowager had lived in the palace for a long time and didn’t know much about the affairs of Jianghu. She thought for a moment and said, “I remember that the owner of Jiang Province’s Virtuous Boating Company, Chen Yuanqing, is also from the Red Flower Pavilion. He ran errands for the Qin family a few times before. Later, the matter was handed over to Xiao Mountain Fort.”

“Xiao Mountain Fort doesn’t do it anymore…”

Swish!

As Dongfang Liren spoke, she quickly raised her saber again and struck beside her in a flash.

The empress dowager was still holding the small fur ball, her eyes blank.

(0^0)?

C-%

Thump, thump!

Fortunately, the sound of footsteps broke the awkward atmosphere.

When Hongyu arrived at the door, she saw a maidservant walking up quickly with a letter in her hand.

“Your Highness, an escort of the Pei family of Heavenly Water Bridge has just sent an urgent letter from Young Master Ye.”

“Hmm?” Dongfang Liren pulled down her blindfold, took the letter, and examined it. She saw a wax seal on the letter and the words ‘For the Prince of Jing’ written on it.

Seeing that the confidentiality measures were so good, Dongfang Liren knew that it was a serious matter. She walked to the window, opened the envelope,and took out the letter. Dense words came into view:

Your Highness, seeing this letter is like seeing me…

When 1 killed the Blood Bodhi, i got to know Song Chi of the Red Flower Pavilion.

1 learned the Overlord Spear, helped the Red Flower Pavilion to challenge the Zhou family, and killed someone…

When Dongfang Liren read this, her expression didn’t change.

After all, the Red Flower Pavilion was a very honest Jianghu force. They immersed themselves in earning money and paid business taxes on time for all their surface industries.

Ye Jingtang had learned the Overlord Spear, so she could take advantage of this to learn this Jianghu ultimate technique for free. Perhaps she could even use Ye Jingtang to turn the Red Flower Pavilion into her private golden cave, lest the Ministry of Revenue always complain that she spends too much money to raise guards…

But then, she continued reading.

Jian Yuhua spoke up for justice and fell out with the Zhou family…

At night, i went to recruit Jian Yuhua and found that Zhou Huaili came to kill him, so 1 killed him with Song Chi…

?l

Dongfang Liren tilted her head slightly. She really didn’t expect that Ye Jingtang could kill the sect master of the Water Cloud Sword Pool.

The sects that the Eight Chiefs belonged to were basically the top eight forces of Jianghu. The strength of the sect masters was definitely not low.

Ye Jingtang and ‘White Buddha’ Song Chi had actually succeeded. It seemed that Ye Jingtang’s martial arts skills had improved by leaps and bounds recently…

At this point, Dongfang Liren understood the meaning of Ye Jingtang’s letter: I want to hug your thigh!

Dongfang revealed a proud expression, but as she continued reading, she saw a few righteous words.

I carry the mandate of the Prince of Jing and have the responsibility of hunting and killing bandits…

Although 1 had enmity with him and wanted to kill him, Zhou Huaili was indeed disregarding human lives. No matter what his intention was, 1 had to draw my saber and stop him…

According to the laws of Great Wei, anyone who refuses arrest will be punished. If they resist arrest or escape, they can be killed without mercy…

Zhou Huaili resisted violently He stabbed me twice and Song Chi four times…

The helper, Song Chi, and the victim, Jian Yuhua, can both be witnesses…

I left the token of the Prince of Jing Estate at the crime scene to avoid implicating the Red Flower Pavilion…

I hope that Your Highness will preside over a fair and open trial. i am willing to confront Sword Saint Zhou Chiyang in court to distinguish right from wrong. If

I am in the wrong, Your Highness should punish me according to the law…

Please ask the Imperial Court to protect the personal safety of the victim, Jian Yuhua, and mine so that we won’t be silenced by criminals…

???

Dongfang Liren was dumbfounded!

He never expected that Ye Jingtang, a Jianghu man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually know the laws of Great Wei. What happened to ‘the matters of Jianghu belong to Jianghu’?

Not to mention Ye Jingtang sending his letter to her, even if he sent it to Prime Minister Li or the empress, the Imperial Court had to protect Ye Jingtang’s personal safety according to the law. After verifying the facts of the case, the Imperial Court would then impose penalties on him according to the law.

But how could he lose this lawsuit?

If Sword Saint Zhou Chiyang went to the capital to litigate a lawsuit, even if he didn’t care about his reputation in Jianghu and dared to come, with the deplorable things his brother had done, he might be treated as an accessory to his brother’s crimes and be sentenced to death in the end!

Dongfang Liren was stunned for a long time, unable to say anything. Her strange expression surprised the empress dowager. She asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

Dongfang Liren coughed lightly. “It’s nothing. Ye Jingtang reported a case. I have some small matters to deal with. Meng Jiao.”

Whoosh!

A quiet breeze blew into the room. The white-haired old woman silently landed in front of the screen and asked respectfully, “What are Your Highness’s orders?”

Dongfang Liren handed the letter to Meng Jiao. “What do you think?”

The white-haired old woman took the letter, read it carefully, and nodded slightly. “Hmm… This child is indeed a great talent. At such a young age, he has comprehended the highest mental cultivation method of martial arts.”

Dongfang Liren was confused by this letter, and she was embarrassed to say that she wanted to protect Ye Jingtang. She said seriously, “Since this case has been reported, I have to act according to the law. Hmm… Spread some news in Jianghu first. Say that the Black Office recently captured a leader of the Green Bandits in Ze Province and incidentally killed a violent criminal named Mr. Zhou. This is to prevent the Zhou family from retaliating against others recklessly in case they can’t find the murderer… no, can’t find the righteous person who drew his saber to help.”

The white-haired old woman nodded slightly. “I’ll send people to find Jian Yuhua and bring him back as a witness. Then 1 will send a letter to the Zhou family to ask Zhou Chiyang to come here and wait for Your Highness to ask about the case.”

Dongfang Liren nodded and said righteously, “Send a message to Zhou Chiyang. If the Zhou family is in the wrong, Mr. Zhou deserves to die. If the Black Office is in the wrong, the offender will pay with their life. I will invite Lu Taiqing and Daoist Xuanji to observe this case. I will never cover up for my subordinates and watch the citizens of Great Wei die tragically. I will definitely give him justice.”

The white-haired old woman shook her head and sighed. “Zhou Huaili’s personal morals are too bad. The Zhou family can’t turn this case around at all. Your Highness will publicly uphold justice for Zhou Chiyang, but whether he comes or not, he will lose. If he loses in court, he will find that person from the Black Office to take revenge, being neither righteous nor chivalrous. However, if this blood feud can’t be resolved, there’s a high chance that the Zhou family will hire people to take revenge. Moreover, this case is related to Ye Jingtang’s saber technique. Jun Mountain Terrace’s reaction will likely be greater than the Zhou family’s…”

Dongfang Liren thought for a moment. “It’s easy to dodge open spears but difficult to guard against hidden arrows. As long as Zhou Chiyang can’t take action for the time being, it’s fine. We have to conceal Ye Jingtang’s identity more tightly. For the rest, we can only let Ye Jingtang be on guard. i’ll write a letter and send it to him…”

Yes, Your Highness..”
