Everyone was stunned by Zhou's words and lost all interest in queuing.
Jiang Li sneered and said, "So you were waiting for me here."
She had thought the original hero was a bit smart, and sure enough, he bribed Zhou and Jiang Sheng. She had previously thought he was just spreading rumors, but she hadn't expected Jiang Sheng to actually admit it.
Come to think of it, for him, it was just a romantic debt.
But when it fell on Jiang Li, it was like a mountain that could crush her to death.
If her mother's life story of being a prostitute was made up, then her marriage to Prince Jingling would be a disgrace to the royal family. The only solution would be to execute her on the grounds that she had deliberately concealed her identity and deceived the marriage, so that the royal family could vent their anger.
What a good trick to kill with a borrowed knife.
Old Lady Cao didn't understand Jiang Li's mumbling. She just spat and continued, "If we're not here, where else are we going to wait for you?! If I hadn't heard from those servants that your shop opened today, I really wouldn't have known that you, a girl, are actually a golden goose that can lay eggs. With such a talent, you actually want to ignore me and your grandfather!"
“Bang!”
When Xue Rou saw Zhou coming from the second floor, she wanted to come down, fearing that Jiang Li would be bullied.
Jiang Mubai was one step ahead. As soon as he got behind Jiang Li, he heard the old woman speaking without restraint and daring to say such ugly words to his sister.
Without thinking, Jiang Mubai went up and slapped him.
The slap directly stunned Old Lady Cao!
When she covered her face and was about to curse, she saw Zhou constantly giving her looks, so she immediately rolled her eyes, lay down on the ground, covered her chest and pretended to faint.
Old man Cao was stunned for a moment, then quickly pinched his thigh and burst into tears. "Oh, old woman, what's wrong with you? You can't die! You can't abandon me!"
Even though he is a grown man, his voice when he wails is no less loud than that of Old Lady Cao. No wonder they are a couple.
Jiang Li had never seen such poor acting skills before. Just as he was about to chase the people away, he saw a group of yamen runners rushing towards him.
"Someone reported to the police that there was a disturbance here. What happened?"
The person who came was Lord Fang Kunfang from the government office in the capital. He was an upright official but very taciturn. He handled cases based entirely on evidence and never gave face to anyone. In his mind, if the emperor broke the law, he should be punished the same as the common people.
There are already many royal relatives living in the capital, and the emperor valued this fact, so he arranged him here. Otherwise, if he said one thing to one person and another thing to another, the capital would be in chaos.
Therefore, when he saw that the owner here was Princess Jingling, he just bowed slightly and then entered the case handling process.
"Sir! You have to make the decision for us!"
Zhou took advantage of the situation and poked Old Man Cao with her hand, reminding him to take revenge as soon as possible.
Old man Cao was a country brat after all. Although he was frightened by Fang Kun's official uniform when he first saw him, he immediately started to throw dirty water on Jiang Li after he came to his senses.
"We old couple just came to the capital to recognize our relatives. I never thought that my granddaughter, now that she has a good life, would disown us two poor relatives! She even had people attack us. Look at me, her grandmother after all, and I was actually beaten to death by her people!"
Hearing this, Fang Kun was stunned and asked Jiang Li, "Princess, is what this person said serious?"
Jiang Mubai snorted coldly, "Just because you have a mouth, you should speak human language! Lord Fang, these two are pretending to be royal relatives. You must arrest them immediately and send them to the Dali Temple for processing!"
"Who are you?"
Fang Kun was usually busy with government affairs and seldom attended gatherings in Beijing. When he saw Jiang Mubai taking up the conversation, he frowned and asked.
"General's Mansion, Jiang Mubai."
Jiang Mubai bowed and replied that although his father and brothers were all serving in the army, he was a commoner after all, and it was his duty to perform formalities when meeting an official.
General's Mansion... Fang Kun's heart moved slightly. It seemed that what he had heard before, that Princess Jingling had adopted the General's Mansion as her godparents, was actually true.
"Sir! Don't listen to this kid's nonsense. He was the one who beat my wife to death just now! Sir, you are the Lord of Heaven. You have to make the decision for us old couple!"
Seeing the two men talking back and forth, Old Man Cao was afraid that he would really be arrested, so he howled.
"So that's how it is!" Fang Kun had always disliked these dandies who took advantage of their family members to do whatever they wanted. He immediately said, "Come here, arrest Young Master Jiang! Take him to the government office for questioning!"
"yes!"
“Wait!”
Seeing the bailiff about to attack, Jiang Li quickly stopped him, saying, "Master Fang."
Before opening this herbal medicine shop, Gu Qingchen asked Mo Qi to give Jiang Li the information of some wealthy businessmen and officials in the capital to facilitate her work.
She had a deep impression of Fang Kun.
Knowing that this person disliked others using connections to pressure others, Jiang Li did not mention Gu Qingchen at all. She just smiled and said, "Lord Fang has always been upright. I believe he will not only listen to one side of the story when handling a case. Therefore, Jiang Li also has a few words to say."
Originally, Fang Kun had already prepared himself. If Jiang Li used the prince to pressure him, he would not be afraid to report the matter to the emperor.
Who would have thought that Jiang Li didn't even use the title of Princess Jingling, which made Fang Kun think more highly of her.
Therefore, he also said politely, "Princess, please speak."
"These two old men claim to be my maternal grandfather. Putting aside the fact that they have no evidence, even if they did, they should have discussed this matter with my father."
"However, today is the opening of my herbal medicine shop, and the two of them came here without hesitation. As soon as they arrived, they blocked the main entrance and started making trouble. We tried to persuade them, but not only did they not listen, they first attacked my maid and then pointed at my nose and cursed. I don't know which kind-hearted person helped me report it to the authorities, but even if they did, they would still be charged with provoking trouble, not to mention contempt for the royal family."
