Chapter 221 Praying Mantis Catching Cicadas

"Your Majesty is good!"

"Those who say bad things about him are the ones who deserve to die!"

Although His Highness King Rong had never been to the salt field, not only did he receive food and new clothes, he even advanced the salt workers one month's wages and asked them to take the money back home.

These actions completely subverted the salt workers' expectations for him. Now the entire salt field is grateful to him, and some even regard him as a savior.

Those who had been afraid of King Rong's arrival were now looking forward to when the prince would pass by.

Small favors can easily win over people's hearts. It can be seen how miserable these people were under the rule of the eldest princess.

"...According to the prince's instructions, the stationed soldiers have arranged to enter the salt field. The entrance is heavily guarded and no one can enter or exit at will. Also..."

After Shunzi finished speaking, she paused for a moment, and when the man's cold eyes swept over her, she hurriedly continued:

"One more thing. The doctor who went there found out in time that someone was seriously ill, and now he has been rescued. He said he would have to eat for a day or two, but it would be too late. Because of this, the salt workers are very grateful to the prince."

After Shunzi finished speaking, she quietly looked at her prince's face, only to find that the man's expression was still dull, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

The spy below seemed to be stunned for a moment, but the master had already spoken, so naturally he couldn't go against it: "Yes."

The prince said not to worry about it, but he really didn't want to worry about it.

Those little fish and shrimps, can't the prince just solve them with a few words?

"If people continue to stare, there must be more than just those people."

"In the past two days, a rumor suddenly spread from nowhere in the city, saying that hundreds of salt workers were missing from the salt field. It was because they were dissatisfied with the prince taking over the salt field, so they were..."

"Wait a minute."

The system spoke nervously: [The male protagonist’s face looks so bad.]

Shunzi paused as he walked out, planning to leave after listening.

Shunzi then talked about some other trivial matters. Just as he was about to leave, the spy responsible for investigating the situation in the county suddenly came back:

"Your Majesty, there is something urgent!"

Xiao Yinhan had already stood up from the chair, looking lazy: "Then let's do whatever they want."

"explain."

The spy got excited and continued: "He was brutally murdered by the prince."

If I say I'm going to kill you, I will definitely kill you. Killing in a group won't work, so just do it one by one.

Until the man's cold voice came: "By what?"

First it was a rumor, then it was poison... It was obvious that someone was deliberately targeting Xiao Yinhan.

Xiao Yinhan was very cruel to the people around him, but he was extremely kind to ordinary people. It was because he understood his strange personality that Jiang Tang proposed to send warmth to the salt workers at that time.

"yes."

A cold male voice came from the seat. Just when Shunzi was worried that the prince would find it boring to "capture people" and wanted to kill them all, he heard the emotionless voice coming into his ears: "Don't worry about it."

Xiao Yinhan waved his hand, and the spy stood up and retreated like a ghost.

At the same time, he looked at his prince with even more admiration.

It is because the other party's unwillingness to admit defeat can bring him more... opportunities.

Shunzi opened his mouth to say something, but finally closed it, but his eyebrows were already more solemn: Why did the prince...

But instead of being anxious, he was even very happy.

It's a shame that she was willing to hand over the salt farm to him so smoothly.

Before Xiao Yinhan could speak, Shunzi on the side was the first to change his mind: "What the hell! That bastard is spreading such rumors! Your Majesty treats those salt workers better than us, no, it's not..."

…I mean, the person who spread this message has no good intentions!”

Shunzi hurriedly covered Sui, and suddenly found that she had accidentally said what was in her heart when she was excited, and looked at the man behind her nervously.

Do not care?

Shunzi's eyes widened instantly, and she subconsciously wanted to refute his prince's words, but when she met those familiar eyes, a clear thought passed through her mind:

"Your Majesty, news came back from the salt field that someone died from poisoning after eating last night. Many others were also poisoned. Now the people in the salt field are in panic..."

Shunzi looked at Xiao Yinhan with some worry: "If you don't care, what if it encourages some people's ambitions..."

Shunzi quickly saluted Jiang Tang and then chased after him.

As soon as Xiao Yinhan left, Jiang Tang put down his bowl temporarily.

It's just a matter of time. His Highness King Rong will never take back what he said.

Jiang Tang's eyes darkened. If that person dared to do this, be prepared to anger him.

Now someone wants to attack the salt workers right under his nose...

But he didn't dare.

She has obviously tried hard to change, but the plot... why is it still so difficult?

-

On the other side, as soon as he arrived in the study room, the panic and indignation on Shunzi's face had disappeared, replaced by an expression of schadenfreude: "Back to the prince, just as the prince said, there are people in the salt field who are starting to make trouble. The poison in the salt workers' rice

It was someone inside who poisoned him. But because of the guards arranged in advance, he was caught as soon as he was poisoned."

If Jiang Tang were present, he would know that he really listened to her previous advice to the male protagonist.

"Continue to monitor and go down."

But in order to be realistic, someone was still "poisoned" and a doctor sat upright.

Xiao Yinhan knew very well what touching the salt field meant to his willful and arrogant aunt.

When Shunzi came in to report the news, Xiao Yinhan was having dinner.

And because of what he said, the man immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, stood up and walked out: "Follow."

But he was quite happy, at least these guys knew who was treating them well.

Jiang Tang didn't speak, and looked quietly at the direction the man left with his beautiful eyes.

The spy's voice became softer and quieter, and Shunzi became anxious when he heard it. She really wanted to slap him to make him speak faster.

Xiao Yinhan's expression was indeed not good, and the spy also came to his senses: "I will order people to arrest all those who sent the message!"

However, those who were poisoned were arranged in advance, and the purpose was to catch more fish in the salt field!

Thinking of the man's behavior when he was caught, Shunzi felt happy.

Who would have thought that something would happen in the salt field that night after Xiao Yinhan said "don't worry about it" -

He said, his prince is getting angry, what else can he do to other people?

The room suddenly became quiet.

So with Xiao Yinhan's deliberate connivance, another rumor about the salt field spread in the city two days later:

King Rong was dissatisfied with the salt workers' resistance and started killing people again!

This time, he used poison to kill!

Soon, the image of King Rong as the "bloodthirsty devil" became more and more popular, and even the servants in the new house knew:

King Rong, who is coming to take over the salt farm, is a murderer!

At this time, Yan Mi'er was unexpectedly stopped by her seventh prince cousin:

"I heard that you provided the food that Fourth Brother sent to the salt farm? What happened? How did you think of this?"

In Xiao Yichen's eyes, Yan Mi'er was stupid, and he didn't believe she would come up with this idea.
