128 Ramblings
When they arrived at the Jian Food Shop, Liu Ling’er pretended to be calm and said, “Why are you looking for me?”
Wang Fugui quickly pointed out, “It’s her! It’s her! It’s her who told me to do this. Sir, it really has nothing to do with me! I was just muddle-headed for a moment, and I won’t dare to do it again in the future. Please spare my life, Sir!”
Liu Ling’er said angrily, “You lowly commoner, what are you barking for! When have I ever seen you before?!”
After saying that, she looked at Jian Qingqing and Ming Zhiyan, she said with a sneer, “Sir Ming, don’t tell me that you want me to come just because of the nonsense of a lowly commoner, right? If this gets out, how am I supposed to behave? What, just because I argued with Boss Jian a few times earlier, you want to use the public office to take revenge for a personal vendetta?”
Ming Zhiyan said coldly, “Whether it’s nonsense or not depends on the facts.”
He looked at Wang Fugui and said, “Wang Fugui, you said that Miss Liu instructed you, so when and where did she do it? Did anyone see it?”
Wang Fugui hurriedly said, “We met in the alley behind the Youfu Inn on Changwu Street three days ago! At that time, Miss Liu gave me 20 taels of silver as a deposit! She promised to give me another 80 taels of silver after it was done. At that time… at that time…”
His face suddenly turned pale. At that time, the sky had already darkened slightly. After he received the 20 taels of silver, he was still afraid that people would see him. He looked around and was sure that there was no one there at that time.
Seeing this, Liu Ling’er snorted smugly, “No one saw it, right? If no one saw you, what right do you have to slander me! Since there is no evidence, then I will leave!”
Ming Zhiyan spoke up to stop her, “Wait, the case isn’t finished. It won’t be too late to leave after it’s over, Miss Liu.”
Liu Ling’er hesitated for a moment, but still didn ot dare to leave. After all, Ming Zhiyan was not just a county magistrate. He was also the Crown Prince of the Capital, the Emperor’s nephew. If he was just a county magistrate, she would not be afraid.
Ming Zhiyan asked Wang Fugui again, “How did you connect with Miss Liu? Did anyone see it?”
Wang Fugui’s eyes lit up, he said, “It was the girl next to Miss Liu who looked for me! At that time, I was just leaving the casino when that girl came to me and asked me if I wanted to earn money. I didn’t pay attention to her at first, but she took out a tael of silver for me before I went. Did anyone see it… It seems that no one saw it either…” At the end of his sentence, his tone was a little dejected.
Liu Ling’er’s maid immediately knelt down, She said aggrievedly, “My lord, you are wise! I am Miss’s maid, and I have to serve Miss personally. How could I go out so casually? Moreover, I don’t know that person, so why would I look for him? It must be because he didn’t know when he met our Miss. Seeing that she has a noble status, he made a mistake and framed our Miss. He wants Miss to save him. A person like him, My Lord, please give him a heavy sentence!”
Wang Fugui’s face turned red as he defended himself, “You b*tch! If you didn’t come to me, how would I know you?! I think you should be sentenced! You should be exiled! You b*tch!”
“Alright!” Ming Zhiyan stopped them. “This is not a place for you to quarrel. Wang Fugui, you said that she gave you silver. Where is the silver?”
Wang Fugui was frightened and said in a low voice, “I spent the money… But!” He suddenly became excited. “When that little b*tch gave me the money, she wrapped it in a purse! The purse is still with me!”
As he said that, he took out a pink purse with begonia flowers embroidered on it. The purse was well-made and looked like it was not cheap. It was definitely not something that Wang Fugui could afford.
