Chapter 385 My name is Jiang Lifeng, nice to meet you.

The bearded man felt very happy.

Jiang Yingcheng was also very happy.

Things went as smoothly as they expected, and they didn't know what kind of good luck they had!

[Next, as long as the store owner says that Brother Li Feng came to his store two days ago, their lies can be exposed! ]

Jiang Yingcheng swung his little feet, fished out a small biscuit from the secret pocket of his sleeve, and with a "crunch", he bit off a small piece of it.

【Hehehe, it went really smoothly! 】

Ding Ruihan was the only one left in the courtroom, looking in the direction of the bearded man with a pale face.

Didn't she already send someone to inform him to change his words? !

She had clearly seen that her most clever maid had left the government office gate! !

Suddenly, a "Ha" sound came from above her head.

The ending tone is elongated and extremely sarcastic.

It's hearsay.

"Could it be that the person the shopkeeper is talking about is also here today?!"

Ding Ruihan suddenly widened her eyes.

No, that's not right!

Something must have happened today that was beyond her plan!

She raised her head with a shiver, and just as she was about to signal the bearded man with her eyes to cancel his action, she saw him turn his head back with a look of doubt on his face. After carefully scanning Nie Wen's face, his expression suddenly became very excited: "Stand up!!"

The bearded man raised his finger and pointed at Jiang Lifeng, his pupils trembling: "How dare you show up here?!"

After saying this, he suddenly turned around and faced the prefect Zou Cailiang, and said loudly: "Sir, it was he who came to my shop late at night that day, saying that he had a treasure that he was eager to sell. Although he covered his face with a hood at the time, but--"

The bearded man said: "Even if this man turned into ashes, I can still recognize him!"

"Those picturesque eyebrows and eyes, that high nose bridge, I have never seen a second person like him in my life, I will definitely not mistake him!!"

Jiang Lifeng's expression froze, and he swallowed back all the sarcastic words in his mind.

He slowly raised his hand and stroked the tip of his nose twice, trying hard to suppress a smile at the corners of his lips.

...Is that so?

Is he really that outstanding?

The toes scratched the ground lightly.

But...even if you said so, he would not admit the crime.

This beard is really annoying~

Zou Cailiang fixed his eyes strangely on the bearded man's face and emphasized, "When did he go to your store?"

Ding Ruihan claimed that the box was lost three days ago, and the hairpin was found yesterday, so they only had until two days ago.

But two days ago...

The bearded man swore, "This thief came to my store two days ago!"

In order to make the story seem more real and believable, he even prepared a very complete story.

"I was counting the inventory at the time and was startled when I heard someone knocking on the door. I was deeply impressed by this!"

The man with the beard lowered his head and did not notice the sudden meaningful looks from the people around him. However, after he said that, he did not receive a response from the prefect for a long time.

He raised his head doubtfully: "Master?"

It was also the first time for Zou Cailiang to see someone telling lies that were right in front of his face, and for a moment he didn't know how to start talking.

The bearded man paused for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Ding Ruihan behind him.

Just one glance and he was so shocked that he almost jumped up: "Girl?"

Ding Ruihan's face was no longer pale enough to describe it. Her face looked as if she had been dead for three days. Cold sweat kept dripping from the corners of her hair, and her lips were a faint purple-red...

In short, it's like a female ghost who drowned and suddenly came back to life.

The "ghost girl's" teeth trembled unconsciously, and a weak voice came out from between her teeth: "Don't... say it..."

Bearded man: “???”

His words are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, why can't he just say them? !

He whispered: "You can stop talking, but the silver..." But he couldn't lose a single cent!

Ding Ruihan looked up woodenly, her eyes lifeless as she looked over. The urge to pry open the other person's head and take a look suddenly overwhelmed her fear: "You——"

“Pah—”

The wooden door of the hall was knocked heavily, and Zou Cailiang shouted: "You two are really brave!"

The man with the beard was stunned for a moment.

He thought over what he had just said carefully.

There is no problem, we are all following the script given by this woman?!

On average, each sentence has a few taels of silver in it, there is no way he could have remembered it wrong!!

The bearded man looked up blankly: "Sir?"

Zou Cailiang snorted again, his eyes wide open: "The little prince stayed in my house with His Majesty the day before yesterday until nearly midnight before leaving. How did he have time to go to your shop to sell hairpins?!"

There is no curfew in Fengjin County, but local people rarely go out at night. Most shops in the city close very early, not to mention midnight.

At that time, I'm afraid only places with fireworks would be brightly lit.

The puzzled expression on the bearded man's face suddenly froze, and after a moment, it turned into fear.

Before I could even feel surprised by the words "young prince and your majesty", a few big words popped up in my mind:

Is there any witness?!

Holy shit, how could anyone stay with someone so late at night?!

Cold sweat slowly emerged from the corners of his forehead, like beans next to each other. Soon they formed a string and dripped down his temples.

Just like what he saw on Ding Ruihan's face just now.

In a trance, he heard his own voice trembling: "W-what?"

At the same time, Ding Ruihan also said in a sharp voice: "What?!"

She seemed to have briefly forgotten the fear of her conspiracy being exposed, and all her attention was focused on the key words that were ignored by the bearded man: "Sir, what the adults said, the young prince is..."

Before Zou Cailiang could reply, the people watching outside the government office started to laugh.

"Just now she said that the young prince was her lover, but now she doesn't even know his identity, huh..."

"Don't dare to say that. Be careful that she will hate you and make you her lover—"

"Does this mean that if you love him, you should send him to jail?"

The few people who spoke looked at each other and laughed out loud.

The sound of discussions poured into her ears word by word, but failed to arouse any reaction from her. Ding Ruihan seemed to have had all her strength taken away from her. She raised her head with a dull expression and looked at the "rumor" in front of her.

Handsome, unrestrained, and still not yet shed his childishness, and most importantly...

This person once wanted only to protect her with all his heart.

“You, you really are…”

Jiang Lifeng lowered his eyes to look at the princess he had once recognized, and slowly curled his lips, revealing a smile that could be considered cruel in her eyes——

"My name is Jiang Lifeng, nice to meet you."
