After Second Uncle left, Ling Zhang scanned his surroundings.

What Tao Feng had just said to Second Uncle was extremely interesting. Originally, their group of peoplewalked through the streets in a grandiose manner and attracted people's attention, and with those words that Tao Feng had said, he had directly spread the news about Jia Yuanling and Jia Yin's concubine. It wouldn't be long before the news of this matter would spread throughout the entire Tan Yang.

"Lord Tao, logically speaking, such a case should be tried in public, right?" Ling Zhang walked to Tao Feng's side and looked at him.

Tao Feng looked at him, a glint flashed across his eyes, and his gaze at Ling Zhang became even more different, and it was filled with meaning, "That's right, to alert the mass."

After receiving a positive reply, Ling Zhang understood what he meant.

Today, they had to let Zhang Chong have his reservations when he rushed over to save Jia Yuanling, so they had to make he doubt in all aspects, and in front of everyone's eyes, it was even more beneficial for what they had to do next.

These are the things that both of them understood. So Ling Zhang stopped there and did not say anymore.

At the same time, he also noticed that Tao Yi was looking at him, but he did not lookback. All of his attention was paid to what people around them were talking about in low voices——

"I really didn't know that young master Jia dared to have an affair with his father's concubine."

"Is this concubine the dancer that Old Master Jia newly married? I told you that dancer was a coquettish fox. Not only did she seduce Old Master Jia, even Young Master Jia was unable to get out of her hands. "

"Look at young master Jia's soulless look. I'm afraid even his soul has been hooked away!"

"That's right, he doesn't look like a scholar anymore."

"Pfft, what a disgrace!"

"He had totally disgraced Jia family."

"Those other masters look familiar too. They seem to be the cousins of the Jia family. Did they also commit crimes? "

"Could it be that they were the same as young master Jia, and got caught when secretly having an affair with that coquettish fox?"

"Tsk, tsk. He's really a man that people know his face but don't know his heart. He's usually just like a gentleman, but he has actually done such a thing behind his back!"

...

At first, they were still discussing in low voices, but later on, the discussion got louder and louder. All people in the street were talking about this matter.

From the crowd, it was unknown who first threw out the smelly egg, which landed on Jia Yuanling's back with a Pa sound. The smelly stench immediately spread, causing the surrounding people to feel nauseous.

Jia Yuanling was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot, his face ashen green. His normally gentle and dignified appearance had long been replaced by a sinister face, staring straight ahead at Ling Zhang's back, eyes filled with both resentment and panic.

Today, Jia Yuanling's reputation was in ruins. If the people in the court accused him of adultery with the dancer, then his reputation would really go down the drain!

"Servants, disperse the onlookers! Hurry up and return to the Yamen!" Tao Feng shouted.

The servants of Yamen quickly separated the citizens on both sides, and the group hastened their steps as they rushed towards Prefecture Yamen.

As they walked, there were still many onlookers following them from behind. By the time they reached the Prefecture Yamen, the entrance of the yamen was already completely blocked by Tan Yang commoners.

Before Tao Feng went to change his official's uniform, he looked at Ling Zhang. This glance looked extremely ordinary, but Ling Zhang could see many things from it.

"Childe Ling, don't disappoint me."

Ling Zhang smiled, "Don't worry, Lord Tao."

From this moment onwards, he and Tao Feng were temporarily on the same side. But he was very clear that in Tao Feng's eyes he was far from being able to conspire against him. Tao Feng was utilizing him and he was utilizing Tao Feng as well. He must win the next battle, and only by then, could he continue his cooperation with Tao Feng.
