Chapter 383 He deserves to be the prefect, but he feels bitter.
Zou Cailiang paused for a long while before he managed to find his voice again: "You, you... also lost your ancestral treasure?!"
As he spoke further, his voice became shriller and his pitch suddenly rose.
He deserves to be the prefect, but he feels bitter.
It's very sad to think about a heartbroken man who actually lost his family heirloom and has to "find" it for three shameless people who lied that they had lost it.
——Jiang Lifeng is a young prince of the Nanyang Palace. Even if the Nanyang King is no longer powerful, he is still a genuine young prince. If he really lost something important, how could he be the one to seek justice for this young ancestor? !
Fake! They must be fake!!
The "shameless guy" in the side hall had no idea what was going on. Hearing this, he straightened his chest and raised his head, saying in a sonorous and powerful voice: "That's right!"
Zou Cailiang: “…”
Zou Cailiang said in a harsh voice: "... Tell me."
Jiang Lifeng coughed lightly and said, "It is a piece of clear white jade pendant. There are auspicious cloud patterns engraved on the front and two fairy birds spreading their wings to fly on the back. This jade may look ordinary at first glance, but it was presented as a tribute by a neighboring country and given to my father by the late emperor. This one piece has extraordinary significance. I hope Lord Zou can help me find it!"
As soon as the words fell, the whole room fell silent.
Zou Cailiang, who was in charge of the case, choked on his breath, which made his face turn unnaturally red.
The four words "personally gifted by the late emperor" seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, pressing down on his head. Even though he knew that this might be another farce, he had to follow the other party's script and continue acting!
Jiang Yingcheng's eyes lit up.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with her brother Li Feng thinking the same thing as she did. She was just delighted that her brother Li Feng had finally gotten out of his love-brain state and looked much more handsome!
【Oh oh oh~ Brother Li Feng is awesome! 】
[Yes! That's right! That's the way to do it!!]
[Sister Rui Han went to the government office and staged such a scene. She originally wanted to splash the dirty water on Brother Li Feng! But she never expected that Brother Li Feng would be there today and was smart for once, biting her back on the spot? ! ]
Jiang Lifeng's smile suddenly froze at the corner of his lips.
What does it mean to be smart for once?!
Why wasn't he smart before? ! !
Jiang Lifeng paused in anger, and when he thought of Ding Ruihan who was still kneeling on the ground after he got up, his confidence instantly weakened.
It seems... that I was not very smart in the past...
Jiang Lifeng couldn't help but turn his head to glance, and happened to meet a pair of terrified eyes.
Ding Ruihan's face turned pale and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. For a moment, he didn't know which of the two things was more serious: the jade pendant was given by the late emperor himself or the fact that this bastard said that he had lost the jade pendant.
She hesitated for a while, but finally decided to solve the problem that concerned her first: "You said you lost the jade pendant?!"
When she first got the jade pendant, she wore it often to show off. Not to mention her group of "close friends" outside, many of the "sisters" in the Ding Mansion had seen the jade pendant!
"That's obviously..." That's obviously what you gave to Ding Kant personally!
Before Ding Ruihan could finish her words, she was interrupted by an extremely surprised voice——
"Have you seen it?!"
Jiang Lifeng said excitedly, with a look of surprise on his face: "Have you seen that jade pendant?!"
"Great!" Jiang Lifeng's acting was particularly realistic. He trembled and turned his hands, leaned over and grabbed Ding Ruihan's arm, "That jade pendant is related to the lives of our entire family. If you know the whereabouts of the jade pendant, please tell Xiaoke. Xiaoke will definitely give you a generous reward!!"
Ding Ruihan choked, her face full of disbelief: "Girl...?"
Jiang Lifeng said innocently: "Miss Ding, for your kindness, I will definitely give you a generous gift in the future to thank you!"
He called her "girl" with full of righteousness and confidence.
When he and Ding Ruihan were in love, their private meetings would always be held in deserted corners, such as boating on the lake or praying on the mountain. They seldom appeared in public at the same time. He had not noticed this problem at the time, but now thinking back, he was afraid that Ding Ruihan had selected several targets at the same time and was choosing among them for inspection.
[Wow, Li Feng’s acting skills are pretty good——]
[Cheng, Cheng Cheng can't lose either! 】
In the silence, a soft murmur suddenly sounded: "Hmm... fairy crane, auspicious cloud, white jade?"
"Chengcheng seems to have heard of this somewhere?"
Ding Ruihan's heart skipped a beat. At this point, how could she not see that this was clearly a trap set up by the two of them, just to pin the crime of stealing someone else's heirloom on her!
Before she could sort out her chaotic thoughts, she heard someone in the crowd outside the government office suddenly shouting -
"If what you are talking about is the white jade pendant made of twelve strands of gold thread and tied with tassels, then I must have seen it before..."
"Where?!" Jiang Lifeng turned around suddenly and looked at the Jinyiwei commander outside the government office. "Where did you see Brother Lu?!"
Lu Yao pondered for a moment and said, "When Lu and others first arrived in Fengjin County, they met this... Miss Ding when they were boating on the Chunyi River. At that time, Miss Ding had a jade pendant like this hanging around her waist!"
A loud "bang".
It seemed as if someone suddenly rang the morning bell in Ding Ruihan's ears. She felt dizzy for a long time. When she came to her senses, she heard the people behind her cursing and questioning eyes in front of her.
Ding Ruihan finally panicked.
She was sure that she had not shown the jade pendant to anyone that day, but as long as someone turned their attention to her, they would be able to find relevant evidence!
"Sir!" Ding Ruihan's voice was shrill, and she looked very flustered. "He is lying!!"
"That jade pendant was indeed in my hands, but it was a gift he personally gave to me! He personally gave it to me!!"
Zou Cailiang clenched the wooden stick in his hand and stared at Ding Ruihan for a long while with a look of toothache on his face.
Having been an official for many years, he could tell the truth from the falsehood of things from Ding Ruihan's expression, but...
Zou Cailiang's eyes shifted slightly: "Did you give it to me?"
Ding Ruihan was so flustered that she didn't notice the prefect addressing Nie Wen. She only saw him say in surprise, "How could that be?! That's a treasure given by the late emperor himself!"
"He's talking nonsense!"
Ding Ruihan was hysterical: "You said you wanted to grow old with me, but it's only been a month and you want to take the jade pendant back with this excuse?!"
This roar drowned out the noisy discussions outside the government office, and the attention of the onlookers was finally shifted a little.
"You want a gift back after breaking up?"
"Isn't this similar to the story I heard a few days ago?!"
"That's right. They both wanted to return the gifts they had given. The only difference was that one of them stole the gifts himself, while the other chose to report to the police and wanted to send his former lover to jail..."
Putting aside the family heirlooms, they would curse every scumbag like this!
The crowd's opinion finally turned to his side. Ding Ruihan raised his head in triumph. Just as he was about to press on with his victory, he saw a determined smile on the other party's lips.
She laughed so hard that her heartbeat stopped for a moment.
