At the northwest border, the Da Yue's army had just returned in triumph.

"Marshal, are you going back to report this trip to the capital?" The right deputy of the Da Yue's Northwest Army, Jiang Xi, chased after a tall man and said.

"No." The answer of the person in front was a short, forceful rejection.

"Marshal, you haven't returned to the capital for three years. If you still don't go back this time, the people in the capital will definitely be unhappy, and at that time, wouldn't they be venting their anger on me again? I beg you to return this time in consideration that I have helped you solved the problem for three times. " Jiang Xi was about to cry.

Unfortunately, the person in front was still unmoved, and the only reply to Jiang Xi was still his cold back.

"Old Jiang, quickly help me tell the marshal about it." His right deputy was hurt by the Marshal's callousness, and turned to the left deputy of the Northwest Army, Jiang Ke, who was walking side by side with him.

Jiang Ke's face was calm as he opened his mouth to speak to the tall man walking right in front, "Marshal, I heard that your aunt is in the middle of making arrangements for your marriage. She had been visiting the rich and powerful families in the capital quite a while ago. People in the capital has been discussing it. It's very likely that the Emperor will make a move. Plus this victory, if an imperial edict arranging your wedding comes down, you will have to return to the capital even if you don't want to. "

The person at the front halted his steps, and thus the right deputy saw a glimmer of hope, and looked at his back with eager eyes.

"Tell them to gather at my tent to have a meeting two hours later. Three days later, I will set out for the capital." The person in front said.

"Marshal is mighty!" The right deputy jumped up excitedly, "I'll go summon them right now!"

Jiang Ke calmly followed the footsteps of the person in front, and was not surprised at Jiang Xi's reaction.

...

Tan Yang, Prefecture Yamen.

After the sound of the wood clapping, the court immediately became serious.

"Jia Yuanling, why did you slander Ling Zhang?" Tao Feng asked.

"I didn't slander Ling Zhang, he was the one who did it!" Jia Yuanling clenched his teeth and said.

Tao Feng slapped the frightening wood: "Impudent! I have saw what you have done today with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. You still want to quibble about it? If you still don’t confess, then I can only serve you with penalties! "

Jia Yuanling's face was ugly, the four childes kneeling behind him had already become sober, and at this moment, they were all frightened by Tao Feng's frightening wood, and started to tremble, as their faces turned pale white.

"We did not do it on purpose, the dancer came to seduce us, it has nothing to do with us. Master, please let us off!"

Jia Yuanling turned around and glared at him, "Shut up!"

"It's not your turn to interrupt on the court," Tao Feng berated Jia Yuanling, and then said to the other four, "It looks like you four are not willing to take the initiative to confess yourselves. Servants, come on. Beat each of the five people on the court for ten times using planks! "

"Yes sir!" Servants of Yamen replied.

"No, no, no, don't beat us! Lord, ’we will admit it! We will admit it!"

"This was Jia Yuanling's idea. It has nothing to do with us."

"That's right, he was the one who told us to frame Ling Zhang for this matter. It has nothing to do with us!"

Those four who were good for nothing had long been scared out of their wits by the situation in front of them. As soon as they heard that they were going to be beaten ten times, they immediately confessed.

It was easier to deal with than Ling Zhang had thought.

This made Jia Yuanling so angry that he almost fainted. "You are speaking nonsense! Shut your mouths, if you keep spouting nonsense, my Jia family will never let you go … "

"Pah!" Another shocking wooden sound rang out.

"Jia Yuanling, this is the court, not your Jia family. Servants, come, slap his face!" Tao Feng's dignity was being provoked again and again by Jia Yuanling, and he was angry.
