The man's breath was very close, with an oppressive feeling.

Shen Chu leaned back slightly, avoiding Xie Ming's approach, his gaze a little vague, "Your Highness, I am a little presumptuous..."

She should have known better than to ask this.

Otherwise, how could this happen?

But if she hadn't asked, she was really curious at the time.

Don't ask, you will regret it if you ask.

"It's okay, I believe Chu'er will never tell anyone about this."

There was a laugh in the man's voice, and Shen Chu couldn't tell whether it was a threat or a casual sigh.

But she leans towards the latter.

If Xie Ming really wanted to threaten someone, he would definitely not be so tactful.

She guessed correctly.

Xie Ming was indeed sighing casually.

If he wanted to make a threat, he wouldn't say it like that.

"Don't worry, Your Highness."

Shen Chu met his gaze, his voice firm.

She would never say anything nonsense.

Even if she doesn't consider herself, she has to consider her father and mother.

Even if Xie Ming wouldn't harm me, what about the relationship between my father and mother?

Can she guarantee that Xie Ming won't attack them?

Shen Chu couldn't guarantee it.

Hearing her words, Xie Ming showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"it is good."

There was approval in Xie Ming's voice.

After that, there was silence in the carriage and no one spoke a word.

Including Shen Chu himself.

Xie Ming also calmed down, his hand resting quietly on Shen Chu's waist, never leaving his position for a moment.

Shen Chu had no objection to this.

"Miss, Your Highness, we are here."

The carriage slowly stopped and a clear voice came from the front.

That was Yunshu's voice.

He sat at the front of the carriage and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

If he hadn't spoken at this moment, Shen Chu would have almost forgotten that he had followed.

"Your Highness, we should get down to business."

Shen Chu turned his head to look at the person next to him, his voice gentle, as if reminding the other person.

"Ah."

Xie Ming slowly stood up and took Shen Chu's hand.

Because of what happened just now, Shen Chu did not resist, but let him hold her hand.

She followed Xie Ming silently.

Since she herself is not a government official, otherwise she really wants Xie Ming to do this.

Especially after hearing the other party's explanation.

If he was found to have secretly hidden troops, it would be a capital crime punishable by death, no matter if he was the crown prince.

And Xie Ming's implication...

Shen Chu didn't want to think about it any further, but walked forward silently.

The place where Xu San and Fu Jinnian lived was not big to begin with, and now the entire backyard was used to lock people up, leaving even less space.

"Oh, I almost forgot to mention it just now. I actually wanted to invite His Highness here to have a meal with me, but I don't know if His Highness is willing to do so."

There was a question in Shen Chu's voice, as if it was a casual question.

Not much sincerity.

Hearing this, Xie Ming frowned slightly and gave his answer, "If Chu'er wants me to eat here, then I will eat here."

His attitude of "let it be your turn" made Shen Chuyi unsure of what to do, so he put the matter aside for the time being.

"Then Your Highness, please come and see these imprisoned people first."

There was a smile in her voice as she led Xie Ming inside.

Hearing this, Xie Ming nodded and said, "Okay."

-

The young man was locked in the backyard, and from the moment he was locked up, he became very uneasy.

He didn't even get paid for doing things for others.

Now the matter has not been accomplished, but the person has been locked up.

What does this do to him?

Moreover, the other party's attitude seemed very arrogant. Even though he said he would report to the police, the other party still didn't take it seriously.

It seems that he is not afraid of the government at all.

Such a person is either a reckless man or one who really has power.

He really hopes that the other party is the former, but he is also afraid that the other party is the latter.

Because he couldn't afford to offend the latter.

He shouldn't have been tempted by money. If he hadn't believed that man's slander, he wouldn't be locked up in this yard now.

But it was too late to regret now, he could only pray that the other party was just meddling in his affairs.

If the people who arrested him were really from the government, then he would be in dire straits.

Not only did I not make any money, but I also lost my life.

"Brother, are you here for money too?"

As he was regretting, a clear voice sounded from behind him.

That person was a young man who came in a little later than him.

The boy was dressed very poorly, looking like someone whose family didn't have much money.

But his face looks good, I didn't expect that it would also remind those people of the slander.

Thinking back to his previous question, the young man nodded. "That man said that if I could get the medicine, he would give me one hundred taels of silver."

Although he felt extremely regretful just now, he couldn't help but have his eyes light up when he mentioned this.

That’s a hundred taels of silver!

How long will it take him?!

Their family only earns a few taels of silver a year.

He earned back all the money for the next ten years in one go. How could he not be tempted?

But when the boy heard his words, he laughed. There was a hint of sarcasm in the laugh, as if he understood something.

Seeing the man's surprised expression, the young man felt something was wrong, so he asked, "What's wrong? How much money did he promise you?"

He suddenly became curious.

The young man looked at him curiously. The boy opened his eyes wide and said word by word, "He said he would give me 100 taels of gold if I succeeded."

what?

One hundred taels of gold?!

Why is he gold but I am silver?

This is not fair! !

The young man's expression changed instantly. He grabbed the boy's shoulders with both hands, his eyes bloodshot. "You didn't lie to me, did you? How could it be a hundred taels of gold? I have a hundred taels of silver?"

Seeing him struggling with this, the boy's expression became even more sarcastic. "Is now the time to be struggling with this?"

"Shouldn't the question now be that we've all been deceived?"

His voice was extremely calm, directly shattering the young man's last bit of fantasy.

Their conversation was quite loud and could be heard by everyone around them. The other prisoners were all listening to their conversation with their ears perked up.

After the young man said this, everyone's eyes turned to Bian.

Scammed?

How could I have been deceived?

That person was dressed so well and he casually took out a gold ingot. He must be from a wealthy family. How could such a wealthy kid lie?

Seeing someone questioning him, the young man picked someone at random and asked, "How much reward did he promise you?"

His gaze was too frank. The person he pointed at was just a child. He was a little scared when he met his gaze, but he still said it honestly, "He promised me a reward of two hundred taels of silver."

Although the voice was a little low, everyone heard it.

That’s right, two hundred taels of silver!

And this is already the third number!
