Chapter 31
While walking with Wu Xiaoliu to Huwei Hall, Jiang Li asked Wu Xiaoliu.

"Why do you go robbing when you have nothing to do? Don't you have enough money on the mountain?"

"My brothers on the mountain thought I was in a bad mood recently, so they told me to take me to rob and relax."

"It's a strange way you relax."

Usually Jiang Li would say that this method was very suitable for bandits, but this time she heard that something was going on, so she had to say so.

Seeing that Wu Xiaoliu didn't speak, Jiang Li asked him again.

"Who did you kidnap?"

"She said she was a princess."

"The princess?"

Jiang Li stopped and looked at Wu Xiaoliu in disbelief.Wu Xiaoliu nodded.

"She was just dressed up like a wealthy family, and there was only one maid beside her. We saw that the jewelry on their heads was quite expensive, so we thought it was worth grabbing. Who knew that we accidentally knocked the princess unconscious during the pushing process. Maid I said it was the princess. It was getting late, and it would be dangerous to leave people there. We didn’t know what to do, so we just tied them up the mountain."

"Didn't the boss slap you?"

"We're fined. We'll be in charge of the latrine for the next two months."

"A little light."

As Jiang Li said this, he and Wu Xiaoliu arrived at Huwei Hall.

Most of the people in Huwei Hall were there, looking at the two people tied up in the middle.The one who was awake was dressed in green and looked scared. She must be the maid.The person lying on the ground was dressed in white and should be the princess. She was holding an umbrella in her hand.

"Are you two from West Lake?"

Jiang Li couldn't help but said this.

The maid looked at Jiang Li. This was the first woman she saw in the village.It made her feel less scared.

Then, the maid realized what Jiang Li had just asked and nodded.

"Yes, my lady and I are both from West Lake."

"You know them?"

Jiang Li shook his head when he heard the Third Leader ask this.

"I just... can pinch and calculate."

"Then she is really the princess?"

"...It's possible. The possibility is not zero."

"My young lady is the princess of Prince Mu's Mansion in West Lake and the only daughter of Prince Mu. If you don't let us go, you will be in bad luck."

The maid said again.

Jiang Li asked Wu Xiaoliu quietly.

"Is there really a Prince Mu here?"

"Have."

Jiang Li nodded, walked to the side of the maid, and looked at her.

Then, she went to the princess to look at it twice and nodded.

The headmaster asked Jiang Li.

"What did the military advisor see?"

"Oh, the maid is not as good-looking as me, but the princess is prettier than me."

"...I'm asking you, can you tell the identities of these two people?"

"That can't be."

"We have a token from Prince Mu's Mansion."

The maid shouted again, and then said to Jiang Li.

"The token is with Miss, you go and get it."

"Why didn't you talk about the token when you were kidnapped?"

Jiang Li said as he walked to the princess to look for a token.

The third master was talking over there.

"I said it. But if she is really the princess, even if we search her, she will die. That's why I called you here."

Only then did Jiang Li understand the importance of his coming: to find a token.

This era also attaches great importance to honor and integrity.If a man touches your body, it will be difficult to remarry, especially for wealthy families who care about reputation.

Although being kidnapped by bandits will have the same result, having a maid here proves that the bandits did not take action, and there is a female bandit, so the people in the village will have a chance of survival in the future.

As long as the news that the princess was kidnapped did not spread.Soon, Jiang Li found a jade pendant on the princess's waist, with "Mu" engraved on the front and "Xinlan" engraved on the back.

"Xinlan is my young lady's name."

The maid explained.

Jiang Li handed the jade pendant to several heads. They were well-informed and might know each other.

After reading it several times, the second master nodded.

"This is indeed something from Prince Mu's Mansion."

"How did you know?"

The third master asked, and the second master whispered to him.

"My previous restaurant was Prince Mu's property."

It's not such a big industry, so the second boss won't have to turn into a bandit.

The second master added another sentence.

"But I can only be sure that this is something from Prince Mu's Mansion. I am not sure whether that person is the real princess. If it is a fake princess, we can escape unscathed."

The second master's intention is very obvious, he wants to make this matter happen.Regardless of whether these two people are true or false, let them be false.And to become a mute corpse.

The big boss shook his head.

"It's already wrong to have no guards. If they are true, even if they just disappear in Niutoushan, we will be in trouble. Do you have a way to prove that you are true?"

The head master asked the maid, and the maid was almost frightened to tears when she saw the head master's appearance. At this time, she couldn't think of any solution.

The maid looked at Jiang Li, as if Jiang Li could think of something.

Jiang Li noticed the maid and thought that he was very smart in her eyes.So she straightened her back, as if she could think of something.

"Master, I heard a story before."

"Say."

"This story is used to verify the real and fake princess, but I don't know if it will be useful to the princess."

"Say."

"So what if..."

"Say it now!"

"okay."

Jiang Li also realized that she was a bit verbose because she was not sure about the effectiveness of this method.

This method came about when she was in elementary school. During a calligraphy class, she heard the teacher next door telling a story to the students.Because she was so focused on listening to that story, she was called as a parent during class and made to stand for an hour, so she left a deep impression on her.

"There was a king...the prince wanted to find a princess from another country to marry, but he was not sure whether the one who came was a real princess. That day, a woman came in the rain and said she was a princess. The queen placed a piece of paper on a bed board A pea, and put twenty quilts and twenty eiderdown quilts on top of the pea, and let the woman sleep. The woman woke up the next day and said that she had not slept well all night and felt that something was uncomfortable underneath. Except for the real Princess, no one can have such delicate skin."

The other bandits all expressed admiration upon hearing this, and the maid looked filled with despair.

She felt that she and the lady would definitely die here today.That woman is either here to help him or to punish him.

The third master raised doubts about this.

"Forty beds, how can she climb up there?"

"...You can find someone to throw her up later. You can also move a ladder."

"But we don't have eiderdown quilts here. Eiderdown quilts are too expensive."

The boss raised questions about the cost issue.

Jiang Li thought for a while and couldn't think of any good solution.

But the second boss figured it out.

"Then change to wooden boards. Wooden boards are cheap too."

"The board is too hard."

"Then less. Instead of forty layers, twenty layers of boards with peas underneath."

The second master easily solved the problem of the first master, and the third master continued to ask questions.

"But the board is so heavy, with twenty layers, it would crush the peas, right?"

Jiang Li listened to the people above discussing the feasibility of this plan one by one. He turned to look at the maid, who was already recalling the good things in her life.

She looked at the princess again and suddenly found tears on her face.

The princess had already woken up while Jiang Li was telling a story.But after listening to it, I didn’t dare to wake up.
