Different from the angry atmosphere of the crowd, Mo Ling and her witnesses felt a flash of guilt when they saw the county magistrate. They all lowered their heads silently so that outsiders would not see the worried expressions on their faces.

Mo Ling was the one who comforted herself the fastest. She thought, there was only Ning Nanfeng, he couldn't change anything, not to mention it was harder for him to turn the situation around than it was for Shen Jinyi. So, after taking a few deep breaths, she raised her head and acted as if she was very scared to see the county magistrate.

Ning Nanfeng walked to the hall and did not kneel but sat cross-legged on the ground. He did not seem to care at all about the fact that his shoes had just been thrown at him.

"Master Chang, long time no see!"

"Humph……"

Lord Chang snorted softly from his nose.

"Don't try to get close to me. I never thought that the prince of the Marquisate who was so glorious back then would appear like this again."

Lord Chang and Ning Nanfeng were classmates. Perhaps many people have forgotten that they were not only classmates, but also childhood friends and best friends. Even Lord Chang’s wife was Ning Nanfeng’s cousin, and the two were introduced to each other by Ning Nanfeng.

Ning Nanfeng stretched lazily. His facial expression did not reveal what he was thinking. He glanced at the other people in the room.

"You are the ones saying that this county magistrate is colluding with the bandits?"

Ning Nanfeng's voice was not loud, but everyone present heard every word he said accurately. At this time, someone mocked him.

"County magistrate? You're afraid you'll lose your official hat. Why are you still showing off your official title when things are like this?"

The person who was speaking was a waiter, wearing a waiter's uniform. I don't know which company hired him. Why did he come here to join in the fun? Isn't the store busy?

After he said this, everyone burst into laughter. Ning Nanfeng lowered his eyes, surprisingly calm. He asked again.

"You are the ones who said that this county magistrate was colluding with the bandits?"

Manager Mo's youngest son stiffened his neck, trying to appear tough, but ended up looking timid, and he spoke hesitantly.

"You, you did it yourself, don't you, don't, know about it?"

"Haha... interesting, you are quite brave!"

Ning Nanfeng replied, but just as he said this, someone threw a smelly shoe in, which hit Ning Nanfeng on the head. Ning Nanfeng just sat there without moving, while the people outside were shouting loudly.

"Bah! Who are you? You are a scumbag who exploits the people. You are still bullying others. Don't think we are blind. What the hell are you!"

"That's right, that's right, are you really not going to kill this scumbag right away?"

"What can I say? The evidence is all here. I heard that they sent people to Liu County to investigate. Now that the magistrate of Liu County is tied up here, it means that he is bullying the people and colluding with the bandits!"

"Yes, yes! Why don't you execute this scumbag yet?"

"I heard that this county magistrate has a bad reputation in Liu County and he also raped decent women. It's disgusting!"

"Really? Why are you leaving this kind of person there without killing him?"

……

The people outside were very excited, and they all rushed in to kill the vicious county magistrate. The officers and soldiers sent by Lord Chang to intercept them were almost unable to hold on.

When these people were about to break in, Princess Anle and the eldest prince and his wife appeared with a group of people and quickly took control of the scene. Faced with the threat of the guards with swords, the anger that had just risen up in these people was instantly extinguished.

"How dare you! The Dali Temple is hearing the case, how can we allow you to act so recklessly here? The case is over today, and all those who caused trouble will be severely punished by the law with ten strokes of the cane!"

The speaker was the eldest prince Xiao Zhixing, the son of Concubine Xian. Since the Emperor had no empress, Concubine Xian was the most powerful woman in the harem, so the eldest prince's status was self-evident.

When the Dali Temple Minister saw the eldest prince and the princess coming, he hurried down to greet them and pay his respects. Ning Nanfeng, who had just been sitting, immediately knelt down properly.

Cheng Jinchu looked at Ning Nanfeng and thought that this man was really interesting. He couldn't help but chuckle. The eldest prince noticed the smiling woman in the crowd and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Bold, what's so funny?"

Cheng Jinchu wanted to go forward but was stopped by a guard with a sword. The princess naturally knew who it was, so she signaled to the guard to let Cheng Jinchu come over.

Cheng Jinchu walked up to the eldest prince and princess and bowed.

"Your servant Shen Jin has seen the princess and has met the eldest prince."

When this was said, everyone was stunned. Didn't they say that the fake guy was seriously injured and died? Where was the rumor? It was not reliable at all!

Cheng Jinchu took off the veil, and for a moment everyone seemed to have forgotten to breathe.

Oh my god, did they see a fairy?

These people had only heard that the fake Miss Shen was very beautiful, but after seeing her today, they felt that the beauties they had seen in the past were just ordinary people.

Cheng Jinchu looked at everyone and was no longer surprised by such expressions. Both her parents were good-looking, especially her handsome father. She and her brother looked more like their father.

When the eldest prince's wife saw Cheng Jinchu, she was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of her mouth slightly raised. Cheng Jinchu noticed her when the eldest prince's wife came in, and she didn't expect to meet her here.

Mo Ling's face was full of disbelief. Wasn't it said that he was disfigured?

Zhao Cheng stared at Cheng Jinchu's face in a trance, which made Cheng Jinchu almost unable to hold back from kicking Zhao Cheng twice.

What the hell!

Stop staring at her, it's disgusting...

The eldest prince's wife then covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled.

"It turns out that the legendary poisonous woman really looks like a fairy. I told my husband before that I didn't go to my aunt's flower viewing party because I was not feeling well. I didn't see the person that others talked about in person."

The eldest prince's wife is called Xie Siyao. She is the eldest daughter of Duke Xie and his wife. Ning Nanfeng is her uncle. Today, she came here for her uncle.

The eldest prince hugged the princess, reached out and gently scratched her nose, and said lovingly.

"In my heart, Yao'er is the prettiest!"

The eldest prince's wife Xie Siyao patted the eldest prince gently.

"However, this prince's consort believes that appearance is determined by the heart. Miss Shen in front of me is obviously a very kind person. For a moment, I can't put her in the same league as the legendary vicious woman. What should I do? My husband, I have always had a good eye and can judge people accurately. Tell me, will I be wrong this time?"

Princess Anle chuckled softly. She took Xie Siyao's hand and patted it twice.

"Don't worry, Yao'er. Lord Chang has been handling cases for many years and has always been upright. He will naturally give justice to those who deserve it. How about we just sit aside and listen?"

Xie Siyao nodded, and the Dali Temple Minister quickly ordered someone to bring three chairs for the princess and the others to sit on. After the princess and the others were seated, Lord Chang ran to his seat and sat down.

Oh...he is so busy.

Damn Ning Nanfeng, when it’s over, he’ll make him pay!
