Chapter 40 The Imperial Sword



To resolve the knot in Jiang Ming's heart, Jin Feng grabbed his wrist, eager to confront Ji Bochang and Dong Shan!

At that moment, Jiang Ming's mind raced and he immediately stopped her again.

"Madam! I have a better plan..."

"Oh? What's the best strategy?"

Jiang Ming pondered for a moment and said, "If Madam goes to make a scene now, she can certainly get rid of Dong Shan as soon as possible. However... if that villain knows that he is doomed, he will be desperate and do whatever he wants... At that time, he will spout nonsense and turn around and accuse Madam of having an affair with him. This will not help Madam's innocence!"

"Hiss~!" Upon hearing this, Jin Feng gasped, her brows furrowed, and her eyes darted around.

"Of course I know that Madam is innocent..."

Jiang Ming quickly added, "But... the sorceress spread rumors outside first, and this morning the old lady wronged the madam. With all the gossip going around... I'm worried that the scoundrel might take the opportunity to drag the madam down with him, so they can all be dragged down with her. In the end... even if you kill a fly, you'll still get maggots all over your hands."

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Jin Feng asked, frowning.

"It's very simple!"

Jiang Ming said, "Madam can write a letter to the Prefect, saying that...you know that Dongshan is the chosen one of the mountain gods, and in order to avoid bringing disaster to Dukang County, you agree to let the Prefect hand over Dongshan and Dongchuan to me to deal with...As long as you have Madam's letter, the rest can be left to me."

"Will this... be okay?"

"certainly!"

Jiang Ming smiled and placed his hands on Jin Feng's shoulders, saying, "What kind of status does Madam have? Why should you get involved in this sordid affair? You just need to remain ignorant, sit on the hilltop and watch the tigers fight, lie by the river and listen to the flowing water... If anyone offends that villain, it's me who will offend him, not Madam... Before he even has a chance to beg for Madam's help, I'll have already eliminated him..."

"Oh, that's fine then!"

Jin Feng frowned and pondered, "The longer this fellow lives, the more trouble I'll face! But... you need to be decisive! Don't drag me into this..."

"Don't worry, Madam!"

Jiang Ming assured him, "That Dong Shan, even as he died, was probably still dreaming of begging Madam for help, but... he didn't get that chance!"

"That would be perfect!"

Jin Feng narrowed her eyes, nodded in satisfaction, and a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.

Jiang Ming's words awakened Jin Feng.

If she were to step in and kill Dong Shan, turning her back on him, Dong Shan would definitely get angry and say, "You heartless bitch! Isn't this the time for us to have some fun?" That would definitely be disadvantageous for Jin Feng herself.

She has "changed her mind" now; the new one is better than the old one. She only wishes for Dong Shan's quick death so he won't tarnish her innocence anymore!

As for Jiang Ming, the reason he changed his mind was because he thought about it more deeply...

He originally wanted Jin Feng and Dong Shan to fight like dogs and self-destruct together!

But there was also a concern that this would cause Ji Bochang to become confused, affecting his subsequent plans...

What if Dong Shan, knowing he was doomed, blurted out: "My lord, I wasn't lying! That time it wasn't you possessed by an evil spirit; I was the man who ran away! And the magistrate's wife even poured five kinds of animal excrement on your head..."

If he had said that, even if Ji Bochang was stupid, he would have realized what was going on!

After all, fabricated stories are never as convincing as what the person involved says!

By noon, Jiang Ming had already characterized Ji Bochang's incident as "possession by evil spirits."

Wouldn't that make Ji Bochang doubt him and affect his "trustworthiness"?

What's worse is that Jin Feng is currently acting impulsively and is capable of anything!

If that time really comes... in order to avoid mutual destruction, other variables may arise, and it is possible that they may reunite with Dong Shan.

Right now, we shouldn't be greedy and act rashly... Let's get rid of those two brothers first, then we can talk about Jin Feng!

Moreover, it seems that the full potential of this golden phoenix has not yet been realized!

"My lord! Are you going alone?" Jin Feng asked Jiang Ming, her eyes filled with tender affection.

"nature!"

Jiang Ming laughed and said, "Madam, just sit back and relax at home! I'll bring you the fish!"

"My lord, I only love you. Don't listen to that scoundrel's nonsense..."

"Tsk! Oh, don't worry..."

Jiang Ming pinched her cheek and said, "We won't even mention you. You have absolutely nothing to do with this whole thing!"

"Then you must come back soon... I'm still waiting to consummate our marriage..."

After coaxing Jin Feng for a while, Jiang Ming obtained the letter Jin Feng wrote to Ji Bochang, and then quickly left the prefectural governor's mansion.

This is practically equivalent to an imperial edict!

With it around, Jiang Ming was confident that he could completely kill Dong Shan with his silver tongue!

Jin Feng was very thoughtful; she specially assigned more than a dozen servants to act as bodyguards for Jiang Ming and instructed them to protect him well!

......

Dukang Prefecture, Zuifeng Pavilion.

In the most luxurious private room, surrounded by a group of beautiful women, Ji Bochang, with one woman on each side, chatted happily with Zhao Yong.

On stage, several scantily clad, slender beauties from the Yue Kingdom were dancing.
