The eyes of the ministers kept going back and forth between the Zou family and the Jiang family brothers and sisters, and their concentration was comparable to Inner Court Assembly once a day.

--There are few people, so you can't get 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 melon.

Oops--

They said that just now, the little guy wanted to make eighty fake movements every time he said a word. His little arms were obviously weak by the end, but he still relied on his strong willpower to keep giving Zou Zi’ang hints.

So I was waiting here!!

Loss!

It's really such a loss!

Love watching!!

[Hehehehe, you can't believe that Zou Zi’ang also spent a lot of money on Ding Ruihan!]

[My father makes money from Ding Residence on the front line, and his son sends the money back to Ding Residence in the rear. Why can't it be considered as taking money from the people and using it for the people?!]

[This Zou Zi’ang is as deceitful as my brother Lifeng!]

Jiang Lifeng:"..."

The gloating giggle was frozen instantly, and the corners of Jiang Lifeng's lips suddenly drooped to both sides.

Just complain, why bother?

It was hard for him to forget that painful past, but the little guy reminded him of it again with just two short sentences!

Too much!!

He is going to make trouble!!

[Oh, the bad guy Prefect seems to be unsteady on his feet!]

[Also, if you see a family heirloom being handed over by your useless son to a woman who only wants his money, you will be furious. He can hold back and not run away on the spot. He is already very Reason!]

Jiang Lifeng:"..."

Poof--

It was as if his chest was suddenly stabbed by random arrows, and he died feeling at ease.

The little guy was talking about Zou Zi’ang's "great achievements", but the swords and knives were all piercing his body!

But...

When he saw Zou Cailiang's dazed and shaky look in his peripheral vision, Jiang Lifeng felt that he felt much better again.

After the little guy said that, the roaring in Zou Cailiang's ears suddenly increased by several levels, almost defeating him.

There are not many families with the surname Ding on Wind Brocade Commandery. Among them, Zou Cailiang can only think of that family among them.

The moment he figured this out, Zou Cailiang was almost so angry that he couldn't even stand still.

In the past, he and Ding Kangde mentioned the group of women Midnight Hour as if they were talking about goods. The scene was still vivid in his mind. In the blink of an eye, someone actually targeted his Zou Mansion?!

Zou Cailiang had stars in his eyes and was breathing heavily, but some people didn't want him to stop.

"Alas..."

Jiang Yingcheng Suddenly sighed heavily.

"Didn't that mysterious man also say that sister Ruihan has deceived many young men from rich families? I don't know if this Thumb Ring is also someone's treasure."

Zou Cailiang tightened his grip on Thumb Ring.

Yes!

This is the treasure of our Zou family!!

Can--

Little Highness It's okay if she didn't say this. After she said it, if he stepped forward to respond eagerly, he always felt that he would be inferior.

But now that the matter has come to this, he can't control that much anymore!

Zou Cailiang suddenly raised his head with sincere eyes: "Your Majesty--"

"Speaking of which, Chengcheng seems to remember that the mysterious man also said in his letter that there are several young masters from aristocratic families in Wind Brocade Commandery who are the servants of sister Ruihan. They all gave sister Ruihan many treasures!"

Zou Cailiang was not interested in this matter. When the little guy finished saying this, he stopped temporarily and quickly regained his composure: "Your Majesty--"

"What?!"

A loud shout suddenly came from behind, and all Zou Cailiang's words were choked back in his throat.

This time, it was his uneasy bastard son who spoke out.

Zou Zi’ang almost roared, "I don't believe it. The mysterious person must have made a mistake. Ruihan is not such a person!"

"Ruihan She is gentle, dedicated and considerate, so she is not what the mysterious man said!!"

Zou Cailiang:"..."

The ministers' eyes that were wandering around paused, and then all moved to Zou Cailiang's face in perfect agreement. After just one glance, they burst out laughing.

The expression on his face was strong, and it looked like he was biting his back molars, not wanting to lose his dignity in front of Emperor Mingze.

Several people in the crowd looked at each other, and after some eye contact, the evil smile on the corners of their lips became a little more obvious.

"But..." Virtue-Returning General Lei Zhixin said hesitantly, "What the mysterious man said in the letter about little Prince all happened exactly..."

The expressions on the faces of Jiang Lifeng and Zou Zi’ang all froze.

Minister of Personnel Chu Dong shook the folding fan slightly. "There are also several other young masters from aristocratic families mentioned in the letter. We have also sent people to investigate, and they have all confirmed that they are indeed true."

Minister of Revenue Jiao Hongmiao took advantage of the chaos and spoke, "Moreover, the Jade Pendant that the man returned to little Prince happened to be the one he gave away before."

The voices of a few people were not loud, and their tone was relatively calm, but every word was as heavy as a thousand pounds, weighing Zou Zi’ang out of breath.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You must be--"

"Enough!!"

Zou Cailiang, who listened quietly for a long time, finally couldn't listen anymore and said angrily, "You son of a bitch! We've already reached this point and you still refuse to repent!"

In his hand, he was still holding the Thumb Ring he received from the little guy. As he spoke, the movement of his hand kept shaking in mid-air, almost blinding Zou Zi’ang.

Zou Zi’ang frowned and refused to bow his head. "I have to ask Ruihan in person..."

The scene had turned into a mess. Jiang Yingcheng's pupils rolled around in a circle, and he decided to take advantage of the chaos and take a sip.

"It's true!" Jiang Yingcheng's voice was young and crisp, which was especially obvious among the slightly rough voices of adult men. "The letter also said that the person who gave sister Ruihan this jade Thumb Ring is second only to my brother Lifeng in family power!"

"It's just that the mysterious man said that the person who gave this Thumb Ring had many family involvements with Slender Horse, and he was unwilling to give it back, so he gave it to my brother Lifeng!"

Zou and his son froze suddenly, and their faces turned red on the spot.

Zou Zi’ang I don't know what the mysterious man said about the conditions of other people, but I still know the inside story about my own affairs.

His family was indeed involved in the Slender Horse incident, and in terms of power, he was indeed slightly better than other young masters from aristocratic families...

Zou Zi’ang's face suddenly darkened.

But deep down I still don't want to believe it--

Ruihan How could such a gentle and quiet woman be what the mysterious man in Lao Shizi said, like that, like that--

Such a person?!

"Right."

Suddenly, the sound of the whirring milk sounded again, successfully interrupting his thoughts.

"Brother Zi’ang, why do you seem so concerned about sister Ruihan?"

Jiang Yingcheng crisply, word by word, added more fire to the pot, "Brother, you are not one of sister Ruihan's many blue-faced confidants, are you?!"

The word "LAN Yan" was also deliberately accented by her.

Chapter 375 Little Prince, it's your turn to break the news!

Ruthless.

So cruel.

The little guy's move simply exerted all the effects she could think of.

Not only did he use the mouth of the unfounded "mysterious man" to stop the Zou family from wanting to take back the Thumb Ring, but it also successfully raised the anger of Zou Cailiang to a new level.

The meaning of the idiom "kill two birds with one stone" is fully reflected at this moment.

But this is not over yet.

Jiang Yingcheng stepped forward with her short legs, walked up to Zou Zi’ang, and used her overly immature face to try to look old-fashioned. "Brother Zi’ang, this won't work~"

"The mysterious person also said that this Ruihan sister is not just cheating money, she will also purposefully collect shady information about various aristocratic families so that Ding Residence can take advantage of those aristocratic families!"

"Zi’ang brother, please don't be fooled!"

He called her brother affectionately, but every word he said was like a sharp knife, pricking Zou Zi’ang with blood all over his body.

Zou Cailiang even took a deep breath!

He understood his useless son.

He loves to show off, loves to brag, and has no real intentions. He often rushes forward when others say a few words.

If it weren't for his identity as Prefect lying in front of him, Zou Zi’ang would have been sold back and forth a long time ago!

Now that he heard what the little guy said, countless pictures emerged in his mind. Each picture was a tragic scene of their families being destroyed and their lives destroyed because of Zou Zi’ang's unbridled words!

Zou Cailiang endured the numbness in his head and secretly glanced at Zou Zi’ang, wishing that the banquet would end immediately so that he could quickly and carefully interrogate her.

Jiang Yingcheng's eyes glanced back and forth on the faces of Zou and his son, and the smile at the corner of his mouth could hardly be suppressed.

[Hey, hey, the bad guy, the magistrate, is too tolerant, and he didn't even clean up the house on the spot.]

After laughing, distress gradually came to the door. "How should I add fuel to their fire?"

The excuse of "letter from a mysterious person" has been used too many times. If we use this excuse to add fuel to the fire, then...

That letter should be as thick as a brick!

The few people who could hear the little guy's voice looked at each other, and then all turned their attention to Prince of Nanyang's Residence's little Prince.

He can listen to people's 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 break the news!

Jiang Lifeng:"..."

He doesn't want to mention the scars from the past too much, but if it's to stimulate his former love rival...

Then he can!!

Jiang Lifeng's expression of watching the show suddenly stopped, and he put on a righteous look holding an umbrella for those who came after him. He let out a long sigh, "The little guy is right..."

Zou Zi’ang suddenly raised his head.

At this time, Reason had already returned to the cage. Zou Zi’ang's eyes were scarlet, but he also knew that these were not his old friends who could be manipulated at will. He had to suppress the anger in his heart and calmly said, "What do you mean by this, little Prince?"

Jiang Lifeng said slowly in a tearful voice, "The thing is like this..."

He cruelly portrays himself as a vulgar person who loves to gossip about them behind their backs, and vividly fabricates a beautiful story about "Ding Ruihan told Prince's Residence every day the dirty stuff about other suitors in order to marry him." The focus is on the specious gossip about other aristocratic families, and the theme is sublimated with persuasion at the end.

After the whole process, the people around me could not help but breathe softly.

As expected of someone with the Imperial Family bloodline, this ability to talk nonsense with open eyes is simply the same as the little guy's ease and comfort!!

Zou Zi’ang Pupil constriction.

Zou Zi’ang refuses to believe it.

Zou Zi’ang stood up angrily. "You are talking nonsense!"

Jiang Lifeng had a look of compassion and deep eyes, seemingly immersed in that profound memory, but in fact--

[Wow - this love brain can't grow out of blood clots for more than ten years!]

[Brother Lifeng said what he said was so true, and he refused to believe it. He had to tell brother Lifeng that your family went hunting in the mountains a few years ago and accidentally shot and killed innocent people before he could believe it--eh?!]

[Eh?!!!]

[Is there such a thing?]

Jiang Yingcheng was so happy that he hurriedly called 007 to retrieve the relevant information and started reading.

Present Upright Officials:"???"

The rule of law column was suddenly changed during the melon-eating session. Who would have thought of this?!

The ministers did not dare to glance in the direction of Emperor Mingze, so they could only encourage Jiang Xiao Prince--

Now that we've reached this point, why don't you continue?

I am a dead Daoist friend but not a poor Daoist, why don't you continue?!

Jiang Lifeng:"..."

Alas...

Jiang Lifeng glanced at the young master of Prefect's family and felt that he was about to get sick of stupidity.

Although he was once deeply involved in Ding Ruihan's sweet lies, when all kinds of evidence were presented in front of him, he immediately realized his mistake and turned back. However, Zou Zi’ang still refuses to believe it even now, and he was rarely aroused.

"Am I talking nonsense?!"

"Then let me tell you one more thing!"

"Ding Ruihan once told me that she had a close friend. This friend's family went hunting in the mountains in a certain year and mistakenly mistook the people collecting medicine for wild animals and shot them with one arrow."

"Ding Ruihan was concerned about friendship and did not tell me the identity of that person. If you still don't believe it, I can go and ask now!"

After the words fell, the whole hall fell silent.

Jiang Yingcheng eats melon for a meal.

[Huh?]

[Lifeng brother also knows about this?!]

She put away the panel happily, but at the same time she was a little angry: [Lifeng brother knows, but he hasn't reported it to the official for such a long time?!]

[Lifeng brother hates it!]

Jiang Lifeng:"..."

With less experience, I have forgotten this important relationship.

He is indeed too upright to tell such lies!

On the other side, Zou Zi’ang suddenly opened his eyes wide.

It was like an invisible big hand tightly wrapped around his neck, causing him to lose all ability to speak in an instant. He could only look at the little Prince of Nanyang Mansion opposite with dull eyes.

He remembers... he didn't mention this to Ruihan?

Could it be that he was drunk some time...

"Don't believe it?" Jiang Lifeng calmed down his emotions and sneered, "Then--"

"Bastard!" Zou Cailiang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly burst out in anger. Finally, as Jiang Yingcheng expected, he slapped Zou Zi’ang on the head, interrupting the conversation between the two, "You are so brave, how dare you be so presumptuous to little Prince!"

"Prefect Master, you don't have to be like this," Jiang Lifeng said with a magnanimous face, "If the young master really has doubts--"

"No, no!" Zou Cailiang quickly apologized, "It's all because of the inferior officials who have spoiled this scoundrel. I hope little Prince can forgive me for the collision--"

Jiang Lifeng nodded with a smile and a gentle look on his face, "Where is it?"

Zou Cailiang was overjoyed and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Then--"

"It's just..."

Jiang Lifeng pretended to sigh, "I don't know who gave this Thumb Ring to Ding Ruihan. It's really troublesome."

Zou Cailiang:"..."

"Yes, yes..." Zou Cailiang forced a smile, "It's really hard on your brain..."
