Chapter 374 She decided to take a sip during the chaos.
The ministers' eyes kept shuttling between the Zou father and son and the Jiang brothers and sisters, and their level of concentration was comparable to that of the daily court meetings.
——There are few people, so you can’t be distracted.
The excitement in everyone's eyes was particularly obvious. Even the ministers who could not hear the little guy's voice briefly experienced the joy of eating melons.
ho-
They were saying that the little fellow seemed to want to make eighty fake moves for every word he spoke, and his little arms were raised so much that it was obvious that he was running out of strength, but he still relied on his strong willpower to keep giving Zou Ziang hints.
So I was waiting here!!
damage!
It’s really too bad!
Love watching!!
[Hehehe, you never thought that Zou Ziang also spent a lot of money on Ding Ruihan! ]
[The father made money from the Ding Mansion on the front line, and the son sent the money back to the Ding Mansion in the rear. How can this not be considered as taking from the people and using it for the people? ! ]
[This Zou Ziang is just as bad as my brother Li Feng! ]
Jiang Lifeng: “…”
The gloating smirk froze in an instant, and the corners of Jiang Lifeng's lips suddenly drooped to the sides.
If you want to complain, just complain. Why do you want to criticize?!
He had finally managed to forget that tragic past, but the little guy brought it back to his memory with just two short sentences!
Too much!!
He is going to make a scene!!
[Oh my, it looks like the bad prefect is about to lose his balance! ]
[Yes, seeing with one's own eyes that the family heirloom was given away by his good-for-nothing son to a woman who only wanted his money, anyone would be furious. He was very rational to not lose his temper on the spot! ]
Jiang Lifeng: “…”
puff--
He felt as if his chest was suddenly pierced by a volley of arrows, and he died peacefully.
The little guy was clearly talking about Zou Ziang's "great achievements" in every sentence, but every word he said was aimed at him!
but……
Whenever Jiang Lifeng saw Zou Cailiang's dazed and shaky appearance out of the corner of his eye, he would feel much better.
After the little guy said that, the roar in Zou Cailiang's ears suddenly intensified by several levels, almost defeating him.
There are not many families with the surname Ding in Fengjin County, and among them, Zou Cailiang can only think of one family with a name.
The moment he figured this out, Zou Cailiang was so angry that he almost couldn't stand.
The scene in the past when he and Ding Kant mentioned those women as if they were discussing commodities was still vivid in his mind. In just a short time, someone had set their sights on his Zou Mansion? !
Zou Cailiang was seeing stars and breathing heavily, but there were people who just didn't want him to be quiet.
"Ugh……"
Jiang Yingcheng suddenly sighed heavily.
"That mysterious person also said that Sister Rui Han had cheated many rich young men in a row. I wonder if this ring is also someone's favorite treasure."
Zou Cailiang clenched the ring tightly.
Yes!
It is the treasure of our Zou family!!
Can--
It would have been better if the little prince hadn't said this. After she said this, if he stepped forward with an anxious look on his face to respond, he would always feel inferior.
But now that things have come to this, he can't care less!
Zou Cailiang suddenly raised his head, his eyes earnest: "Your Majesty——"
"Come to think of it, Cheng Cheng seems to remember that the mysterious man once said in his letter that there are many young masters from noble families in Fengjin County who are all lovers of Sister Rui Han. They all gave Sister Rui Han many treasures!"
Zou Cailiang was not interested in this matter. Seeing that the little guy paused for a moment after saying this, he quickly regained his strength: "Your Majesty..."
"what?!"
A sudden loud shout came from behind, blocking all of Zou Cailiang's words back into his throat.
This time, it was his troublesome bastard son who spoke up.
Zou Ziang almost roared: "I don't believe it, that mysterious person must have made a mistake, Rui Han is not that kind of person!"
"Rui Han is gentle, loyal, and considerate. She is definitely not like what that mysterious person said!!"
Zou Cailiang: "..."
The ministers' wandering eyes paused and then tacitly shifted to Zou Cailiang's face. After just a glance, they smiled mischievously.
The expression on his face was tense, and it was obvious that he was gritting his back teeth tightly, not wanting to lose face in front of Emperor Mingze.
Several people in the crowd looked at each other, and after some eye contact, the smirk at the corners of their lips became more obvious.
"But..." General Guide Lei Zhixin hesitated and said, "What the mysterious man said in the letter about the young prince is exactly what happened..."
The expressions on Jiang Lifeng and Zou Ziang's faces froze.
Minister of Personnel Chu Dong gently waved his folding fan and said, "As for the other young masters of noble families mentioned in the letter, we have also sent people to investigate and they have all confirmed that it is true."
Minister of Revenue Jiao Hongmiao took advantage of the chaos and said, "Moreover, the jade pendant that man returned to the young prince was exactly the one he had given him before."
The voices of the few people were not loud and their tones were relatively calm, but every word they spoke seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, weighing down Zou Ziang and making him breathless.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You must be——"
"enough!!"
Zou Cailiang, who had listened quietly for a long while, finally couldn't bear it any longer and said angrily: "Evil boy! It has come to this, and you still refuse to repent!"
He was still holding the ring he had received from the little boy in his hand. As he spoke, the ring kept shaking in the air as his hand moved, almost blinding Zou Ziang's eyes.
Zou Ziang stiffened his neck and refused to bow his head: "I have to ask Rui Han in person..."
The scene was already in chaos. Jiang Yingcheng's pupils rolled around and he decided to take a sip while the chaos was going on.
"It's true!" Jiang Yingcheng's voice was childish and clear, especially obvious among the slightly rough voices of the adult men in the middle school. "The letter also said that the person who gave Sister Rui Han this jade ring came from a family whose power was second only to my brother Li Feng among this group of people!"
"It's just that the mysterious man said that the person who gave this ring came from a family that had a lot to do with the skinny horse incident, and he didn't want to return it, so he gave it to my brother Li Feng!"
The Zou father and son froze suddenly, and their faces turned red on the spot.
Zou Ziang didn’t know what the situation of the other people that the mysterious man was talking about was, but he knew the inside story of his own family.
His family was indeed involved in the skinny horse incident, and in terms of power, he was indeed slightly better than other young masters from aristocratic families...
Zou Ziang's face suddenly darkened.
But I still don't want to believe it in my heart——
How could a gentle and quiet woman like Rui Han be the kind, the kind, that kind of person that mysterious person said she was?
A person like that?!
"right."
Suddenly, the milky sound from before rang out again, successfully interrupting his thoughts.
"Brother Ziang, why do you seem to be particularly concerned about Sister Ruihan's affairs?"
Jiang Yingcheng added fuel to the fire by speaking crisply and word by word: "Brother, you are not one of Sister Rui Han's many close friends, are you?!"
She even deliberately emphasized the word "Lan Yan".
……
Chapter 375: Little Prince, it’s your turn to reveal the secrets!
ruthless.
Really ruthless.
This move of the little girl brought out all the effects she could think of.
Not only did he use the words of the fictitious "mysterious man" to stop the Zou father and son from wanting to take back the ring, he also successfully raised Zou Cailiang's anger to a new level.
The meaning of the idiom "killing two birds with one stone" was fully reflected at this moment.
But it's not over yet.
Jiang Yingcheng took her short legs and walked up to Zou Ziang. With her overly childish face, she tried to act mature and sophisticated: "Brother Ziang, this won't do~"
"That mysterious person also said that this sister Rui Han is not just a money-swindler, she also purposefully collects the shameful news about various noble families so that the Ding family can use it to hold the families hostage!"
"Brother Ziang, please don't be fooled!"
Although he called him brother affectionately, every word he said was like a sharp knife, stabbing Zou Ziang so hard that he bled all over.
Zou Cailiang took a deep breath!
He understood his good-for-nothing son.
He loves to show off and brag, but he has no good intentions. He often rushes up to others when they say something.
If it weren't for his status as a prefect, Zou Ziang would have been sold out countless times!
Now, after hearing what the little guy said, countless images emerged in his mind. Every image was a tragic scene of their family being broken up and loved ones dying because of Zou Ziang's outspokenness!
Zou Cailiang endured the numbness on his head and secretly glared at Zou Ziang, wishing that the banquet would be over immediately so that he could interrogate him carefully.
Jiang Yingcheng's eyes swept back and forth between the faces of Zou's father and son, and the smile on his lips was almost unable to be suppressed.
[Hehehe, the bad magistrate is really too tolerant. He didn't even clean up the mess on the spot. ]
After laughing, worries gradually came to me: [How can I add fuel to the fire? ]
The excuse of "letter from a mysterious person" has been used too many times. If I were to use this excuse to exaggerate it, then...
That letter should be as thick as a brick!
The few people who could hear the little guy's thoughts looked at each other, and then all turned their eyes to the young prince of Nanyang Palace.
He can listen to people's inner voices, has a noble status, and is a personal participant in the "Ding Ruihan incident". He is simply the chosen whistleblower!
Little prince, it’s your turn to reveal the truth!
Jiang Lifeng: “…”
He didn't want to talk too much about the past wounds, but if it was to provoke his former rival...
Then he can!!
Jiang Lifeng's expression of watching a show suddenly disappeared, and he put on a righteous look of holding an umbrella for the newcomers, and sighed deeply: "The little guy is right..."
Zou Ziang looked up suddenly.
Zou Ziang's rationality had returned to him by half, his eyes were bloodshot, but he also knew that this was not his former friend who he could manipulate at will, so he could only suppress his anger and said calmly: "What do you mean, young prince?"
Jiang Lifeng spoke slowly in a tearful voice: "This is what happened..."
He cruelly portrayed himself as a despicable person who loved to gossip about them behind their backs, and vividly fabricated a beautiful past in which "Ding Ruihan told him the negative information about other suitors every day in order to marry into the palace". He focused on the seemingly plausible gossip about other families, and ended with exhortation to elevate the theme.
After the whole process, the people around couldn't help but breathe lighter.
As expected of a royal family, this ability to speak nonsense with eyes open is just as relaxed and comfortable as the little one!!
Zou Ziang's pupils constricted.
Zou Ziang refused to believe it.
Zou Ziang stood up angrily: "You are talking nonsense!"
Jiang Lifeng had a compassionate look on his face and deep eyes, seemingly lost in that deep memory, but in fact -
[Wow——this love-brain thing, it would take more than a decade for a blood clot to develop! ]
[Even though Brother Li Feng's words were so true, he still refused to believe them. He had to ask Brother Li Feng to tell him about the incident a few years ago when your family went hunting in the mountains and accidentally shot and killed innocent people before he would believe it - eh?!]
[Huh? !!!]
[Is there such a thing?! ]
Jiang Yingcheng paused in his joyful mood of eating melons, hurriedly called 007 to fetch the relevant information, and began to read it.
Qingliu present: “???”
Who could have thought that the legal column would be changed during the melon-eating segment? !
The ministers did not dare to glance in the direction of Emperor Mingze, and could only encourage Young Prince Jiang one by one.
Now that we have come to this point, why don't you continue?
I would rather die than let my friend die, will you continue? !
Jiang Lifeng: “…”
Ugh……
Jiang Lifeng glanced at the prefect's son and felt like he was about to suffer from stupidity.
Although he had been deeply deceived by Ding Ruihan's sweet lies in the beginning, he immediately turned back when all the evidence was placed before him. But Zou Ziang still refused to believe it, and he was rarely angry.
"I'm talking nonsense?!"
"Then I'll tell you one more thing!"
"Ding Ruihan once told me that she had a close friend whose family went hunting in the mountains one year and mistakenly shot a commoner who was gathering herbs as a wild animal."
"Ding Ruihan didn't tell me the man's identity out of friendship. If you still don't believe me, I can go and ask him right now!"
After the words fell, the whole hall fell silent.
Jiang Yingcheng paused in eating the watermelon.
【Um? 】
[Brother Li Feng also knows about this?! ]
She happily put away the panel, but at the same time she was a little angry: [Brother Li Feng knew about this, but he didn't report it to the police for such a long time?! ]
【Brother Li Feng is annoying! 】
Jiang Lifeng: “…”
I lack experience and have forgotten this relationship.
He is indeed too upright to tell such lies!
On the other side, Zou Ziang suddenly opened his eyes wide.
It was as if an invisible hand had tightly clamped around his neck, causing him to lose all ability to speak in an instant. He could only stare blankly at the young prince of Nanyang Prefecture opposite him.
He remembered... he had never mentioned this to Rui Han?
Could it be that after drinking...
"Don't believe it?" Jiang Lifeng restrained his emotions and sneered, "Then-"
"Asshole!" Zou Cailiang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly jumped up, and finally, as Jiang Yingcheng expected, he slapped Zou Ziang on the head, interrupting the conversation between the two, "You are so bold, you dare to be so presumptuous to the little prince!"
"You don't have to do this, sir," Jiang Lifeng said magnanimously, "If your son really has doubts--"
“No, no!” Zou Cailiang apologized quickly with a smile, “It was all my fault that I spoiled this wicked boy. I hope the young prince will forgive me for any offense—”
Jiang Lifeng nodded with a smile, his face gentle: "No, no."
Zou Cailiang was delighted and secretly relieved: "Then -"
"only……"
Jiang Lifeng pretended to sigh: "I don't know who gave this ring to Ding Ruihan. It really makes me feel troubled."
Zou Cailiang: "..."
“Yes, yes…” Zou Cailiang forced a smile, “It really hurts my brain…”
