RPAGF Chapter 383 He felt miserable as a prefect.
Chapter 383 He felt miserable as a prefect.
Zou Cailiang paused for a long while before he managed to find his voice again: "You, you... also lost your ancestral treasure?!"
The further he spoke, the shriller his voice became, and the pitch suddenly rose.
He felt miserable as a prefect.
It's very sad to think that a heartbroken man who really lost his family heirloom has to "recover" the treasure for three shameless people who lied that they had lost the heirloom.
——Jiang Lifeng is a young prince of the Nanyang Palace. Even if the Nanyang King is not powerful anymore, 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 not yet realized it. Hearing this, he straightened his chest and raised his head, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "That's right!"
Zou Cailiang: "..."
Zou Cailiang said in a hoarse voice: "...Tell me about it."
Jiang Lifeng coughed lightly and said, "It is a piece of clear white jade pendant. There are auspicious cloud patterns 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 a tribute from a neighboring country and was given to my father by the late emperor. There is only one piece of it, and it is of extraordinary significance. I hope Lord Zou can help me find it!"
After the words fell, the whole hall fell silent.
Zou Cailiang, who was in charge of the case, choked on his breath, which made his face turn red unnaturally.
The four words "personally bestowed 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!
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 just felt 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 it should be done!!]
[Sister Rui Han went to the government office to stage such a scene, originally wanting to throw dirty water on Brother Li Feng! But she never expected that Brother Li Feng would also be there today, and for once he was smart, he bit back at her 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 indignation, and thought of Ding Ruihan who was still kneeling on the ground behind him, and his confidence instantly weakened.
It seems... that I was not very smart in the past...
Jiang Lifeng couldn't help but glance back, and just happened to meet a pair of terrified eyes.
Ding Ruihan's face was pale and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably. For a moment, she 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 was the one who 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 outside 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?!"
Jiang Lifeng's voice was excited, with a look of surprise on his face: "Have you seen that jade pendant?!"
"Great!" Jiang Lifeng's acting was particularly realistic as he trembled and turned his hand. He 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 that 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 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 climbing mountains to pray. They rarely 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 investigation.
[Wow, Brother Li Feng’s acting is 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 it somewhere before?"
Ding Ruihan's heart skipped a beat. At this point, how could she not see that this was clearly a trap set 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 braided into a braid and decorated with tassels, then I should have seen it before..."
"Where?!" Jiang Lifeng turned around suddenly and looked at the Jinyiwei commander outside the government office. "Where did you see him, 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 was wearing a jade pendant like this around her waist!"
There was a sound of "Boom--".
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 saw 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 the whole person looked very flustered, "He is lying!!"
"That jade pendant was indeed in my hands, but it was a gift he gave to me personally! He gave it to me personally!!"
Zou Cailiang clenched the gavel 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: "You gave it to me?"
Ding Ruihan was so flustered that she didn't notice the prefect addressing Nie Wen. She only saw him speak in surprise, "How could it be?! That's a treasure bestowed 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 use this excuse to take the jade pendant back?!"
This roar directly drowned out the noisy discussions outside the government office, and the focus of the onlookers was finally shifted a little.
"You want the gift back after breaking up?"
"Isn't this similar to the story I heard a few days ago?!"
"That's right. Both of them wanted to return the gifts they gave. The only difference is 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 any heirlooms, they would curse every scumbag like this!
The public opinion finally turned to his side. Ding Ruihan raised his head proudly and was about to press on with his victory when he saw a determined smile on the corner of the opponent's lips.
She laughed so hard that her heartbeat stopped for a moment.
