Before Ying Sinan could finish his sentence, he bit the tip of his tongue and his entire face became ferocious.

While the little guy was eating the melon, he was also looking in all directions and raised his head to accurately lock his direction.

[Ang? Uncle Ying What do you want to say about this store?]

Ying Sinan relied on years of valuable experience of surviving under sticks, his brain was running rapidly, and he stumbled. "This person, this person..."

Halfway through the sentence, I suddenly felt blessed and said, "This man can't just look at his appearance!"

The voice was passionate, sonorous and powerful, and there was no trace of guilt at all.

Jiang Lifeng:"..."

The guards following the little guy. "..."

Zou Cailiang was startled by the sudden sound. After looking at it carefully, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

He has found out that all the people who traveled here with Emperor Mingze, except for the group of Guard who were hiding in the dark without a trace, are all standing at the top of power, but among them, there is one exception--

The son of County Magistrate Tuobi, he has no fame or official position, but some shit got into the eyes of Little Princess, and he was taken along as a playmate. This kid is not on his list of compliments at the moment, so he is a little less respectful.

"Quiet!!"

The gavel knocked heavily on the table, finally making the scene quiet again.

"Do you two have evidence in your hands to prove that this Bluish-White Jade Rectangular Ding is indeed yours?"

This sentence seemed fair and just, but the biased hostility hidden in it was clearly heard by everyone present.

The woman who claimed to have lost her family heirloom's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said, "There are some!"

"Although the husband's family is in decline, he has been trying to start some small businesses over the years." She seemed to be caught in the memories of the past, and her brows frowned into the word "Chuan" unconsciously. "The woman didn't understand the twists and turns, she just heard her husband say..."

"In the business world, if we don't have strong confidence, others will look down upon us. Therefore, my husband always brings this cauldron to display. Many businessmen in the same industry must have seen it."

After saying these words, the shopkeeper next to him, whose cheeks were flushed, instantly turned extremely pale. However, he held on and said loudly when Prefect looked over, "Commoner also has evidence!"

"That night, Commoner saw that the seller was really suspicious, so he asked him to leave a written statement to prove that he got the tripod from legitimate channels and was not stolen goods." He reached out and groped in his arms and successfully took out an envelope. "The man left this handwriting as he was told. I hope you will learn from it!"

An official trotted over to take the envelope from the man's hand, and at Zou Cailiang's signal, delivered it to Jiang Lifeng first.

During the process, the woman was accompanied by cynicism. "It's just handwriting, and there are so many ways to make it fake. Is it possible that just finding someone to write on it can provide more conclusive evidence than what so many people have seen with their own eyes?!"

The shopkeeper had heard too many bad words from this woman today. He could no longer control the anger in his heart and sarcastically said, "It's just that someone saw that you did have this thing in your home. How did you know that your husband's business failed and he was in urgent need of a sum of money, so he secretly sold this heirloom?!"

The woman was stunned for a moment, and her voice suddenly reached a new level. "Impossible!"

She had seen with her own eyes how much her husband cherished this rectangular tripod, and she had also witnessed the whole process of his panic after discovering that the rectangular tripod was lost. How could such a real, subconscious reaction be just an act?!

She said categorically, "Absolutely impossible!"

This time, the sneer became the store owner.

Suddenly--

"Cough--"

A soft but deliberate cough suddenly came from above their heads, successfully causing the two of them to breathe lightly at almost the same time.

Prefect Sir, what does this... mean?

A moment later, there was another cough.

"Ahem!"

This time, the voice was not only louder, but also seemed more deliberate.

Jiang Lifeng was finally called back to his senses by this voice.

"Huh?"

His eyes were confused. "Mr. Zou, is he infected with the cold?"

As he said this, he subconsciously reached out and covered the little guy's mouth and nose, fearing that this unlucky Prefect might make him sick.

Zou Cailiang:"..."

Zou Cailiang smiled, raised his hand, and took a deep breath. "... evidence, evidence!"

He is still waiting for evidence to solve the case!!

"Oooooo!"

Jiang Lifeng suddenly realized it and quickly handed over the evidence in his hand. "Master Zou, please."

I was so absorbed in listening to the little guy's voice just now that I completely forgot about such an important thing!

But--

Jiang Lifeng looked at the two people kneeling in the hall, the interest in his eyes gradually deepening.

Today's trip is really worth it!

Jiang Yingcheng also thought in his heart at the same time: [I didn't come here in vain! Today I really didn't come in vain!!]

On the other side, Zou Cailiang took the letter from his subordinate and read it carefully.

Before I read two lines, I heard another burst of noise among the onlookers who had finally calmed down outside Government Office--

"Give way, please give way. My wife is inside, please give way!"

Complaints arose everywhere, but the people who spoke out were forced to find a way out.

"Madam! I'm late!!"

The woman who was kneeling on the ground turned back quickly, her eyes showing her grievance. "Husband! You are here!!"

Zou Cailiang waved his hand to let the man in. As soon as he entered the yamen, he knelt down and said, "Commoner Guan Bin, please meet Mr. Prefect!"

There were heavy gasps in his voice. It was obvious that after getting the news, he ran all the way over. Zou Cailiang raised his hand to indicate that he was not in a hurry, allowing him to catch his breath before speaking. Guan Bin took several deep breaths in succession with a grateful look on his face.

Then the confession began.

"Commoner Guan Bin, is the husband of the Guo Clan..."

What he said provided a few more details on top of the woman's statement. Before he even got the item, he mentioned several features of the rectangular tripod. Zou Cailiang looked around the rectangular tripod in comparison, and his judgment on the case was slightly biased towards the two of them.

However, before he could say anything else, the "unscrupulous shopkeeper" suddenly opened his eyes wide, turned his head with excitement, and pointed at Guan Bin with a trembling finger--

"It's him!!"

"The person who came to my shop late that night to sell this rectangular tripod was this man!" Under the emotion, his voice was a little cracked, "I can recognize him even if he turns to ashes!"

"Sir! There is also his fingerprint on the document. Your Excellency, you just need to ask him to print another one in the hall for comparison, and the case will be resolved!!"

That's him!

He is the one who sells the rectangular tripod!!

Zou Cailiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The store owner's eyes suddenly burst into excitement, but he didn't know that everyone had different thoughts under this turbulent undercurrent--

Guan Bin lowered his head and imprinted a new handprint on the paper. In a corner where no one was paying attention, a meaningful smile slowly appeared on his lips.

Jiang Yingcheng Kaba Kaba's eyes were so anxious: [Ah!]

[Uncle This is Trap that has completely fallen into their trap!!]
