Everyone present was hiding something.

That means they really did benefit from it.

But they haven't gotten the biggest benefit yet.

That is what they said, the other party promised to give them a reward.

As for why they appeared here, it was because they both received benefits from each other.

Without exception, everyone is.

But everyone was in tacit agreement and didn't mention this matter, as if it had never happened.

If Xie Ming hadn't suddenly asked this question, no one would have thought of it.

Hearing Shen Chu's words, Xie Ming and Yun Shu looked at her at the same time.

There were emotions in both of their eyes that she couldn't understand.

But before they could answer, someone spoke first, "There's no misunderstanding. We were just deceived. What's the point of taking advantage?"

The first one to speak was Liu Qi. There was an anxious look on Liu Qi's face. Although he tried his best to hide it, he was too young and it was still easy to see.

After realizing this, Shen Chu's eyes turned to him, and after a while he said, "Are you sure?"

Up to now, they still don't know who is standing in front of them.

Maybe he just thought Xie Ming was an official.

As soon as these words were spoken, some people took two steps back.

This subtle movement did not escape Shen Chu's eyes.

"If we catch this person and get a different answer from him, do you know what will happen to you?"

Because he participated in this operation, Shen Chu was very concerned about this matter.

So she interrupted and no one stopped her.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone, including Liu Qi, showed panic on their faces.

They are just greedy for money and don't want to lose anything for it.

So when this half-warning, half-threat statement came out, some people immediately became restless and asked, "Why should we trust you?"

The person who stood up had a red face and spoke as if he was stiff-necked.

It can be seen that he is actually very panicked.

Shen Chu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

There are actually people who dare to stand up.

This surprised her.

"Aren't you the ones who want to be blessed? Aren't you going to report to the authorities? The officials are standing before you now. If you have anything to say, you can say it now."

She said this calmly, taking in everyone's expressions.

After hearing Shen Chu's words, many people opened their eyes wide.

what?

Is she saying that the handsome young man standing in front of her is a government official?

How can it be?

How can he enter the official career at such a young age?

Some people wanted to come out and refute, but backed off the moment they saw Xie Ming.

Although the other person is indeed very young, his temperament is so outstanding.

They have lived in Yancheng for so long and have never seen such a magnanimous person.

It was actually cultivated since childhood.

And such a person definitely does not exist in Yancheng.

Where could that person be from?

When the people of Yancheng reported the matter to the police, the officials who came to deal with it turned out to be from other places?

If you tell this to others, it will make people laugh to death.

"Is he the official you mentioned?"

The one who came out this time was Shen Chu, the only one who was imprisoned there.

It was that young man.

That is Liu Wei.

There was doubt in his eyes, and it was clear that he did not believe what Shen Chu said.

"That's natural."

Shen Chu nodded calmly.

"He is so young, how could he be a government official?"

He was questioning Xie Ming's age.

Indeed, compared to those county lieutenants who are often in their forties, Xie Ming is indeed too young.

But this is not a reason for the other party not to believe it.

"What if I say that this person is the Crown Prince of the current dynasty?"

There wasn't a hint of joking in Shen Chu's words.

As soon as she said this, everyone who had been indifferent at first immediately opened their eyes wide and looked at the handsome young man in front of them in disbelief.

What? What is she saying?

The current prince?

Is this the young man in front of me?

How can it be?

Liu Wei's expression changed instantly. He stepped back hastily, his lips trembling. "Your Highness..."

Why would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince care about such trivial matters?

Is it...

Looking at Shen Chu in front of him and the distance between her and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Liu Wei suddenly had a bold guess in his mind.

Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here because of this woman?

If that's the case, then they...

Liu Wei immediately knelt down after realizing what was happening, his voice trembling, "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Seeing him take the lead, the rest of the people all knelt down at once.

Although the voice is a bit low, it is still very intimidating at first glance.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Yancheng is not a big city, but it is not a small city either. Xie Ming has indeed appeared in Yancheng, but not every citizen of Yancheng knows him.

But quite a few people knew him.

After all, when he entered Yancheng, he was too grand.

And the people in front of him had obviously never seen Xie Ming before.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have failed to recognize it at first sight.

Xie Ming could also understand.

After all, Yancheng is not small.

"I came here to ask you something, so get up."

Although he is not mature, he speaks with great authority.

After knowing that he was the prince, everyone instantly felt that his temperament became more extraordinary.

No wonder this young man doesn't look like a member of an official family.

He wondered how the government could raise such a magnanimous person.

It turned out to be someone from the royal family.

And he is the crown prince of the current dynasty.

At this point, no matter how greedy Liu Qi was, he didn't dare to continue hiding it.

Instead, he spoke honestly, "Your Highness, we did take advantage of the other party."

As soon as he said this, he exposed everyone.

Those who had not yet spoken had their faces changed when they heard his words, but they did not dare to get angry.

Who dares to attack?

The person sitting here is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

If they offended the royal majesty, even losing their heads would be the least of their punishment.

But they never expected that they would be one step slower!

This Liu Qi!

Judging the situation is also a very important knowledge.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appreciated the other party because of this, they would be so angry that their eyes would turn red.

"Didn't you just say you didn't take it?"

Xie Ming lowered his eyes and looked at the other person calmly.

Hearing this, Liu Qi broke out in a thin layer of sweat on his back.

My whole body feels bad.

"Your Highness, I was mistaken. I did take advantage of the other party."

As he spoke, he fumbled around in his body and finally took out a small piece of silver.

"This, this is what the other party gave me."

It was a small piece of silver, not even an ounce in weight.

Just for this little money, he was willing to make this trip.

Thinking of this, Shen Chu's fingertips curled up, "Is there nothing else besides this?"
