Jiang Tang clenched his fingertips to control his emotions and forced himself to look away from the man in front of him.
Looking at the young girl's bright and stubborn little face, Xiao Yinhan's heart seemed to be scratched by something, and it was itching at the tip of his heart, but he couldn't find the answer.
So when Xiao Yichen arrived, he stood at the door and saw this scene——
The man who had always been domineering and arrogant held the girl in yellow in his arms and coaxed her in a low voice.
But the girl who was used to showing herself to be weak and quiet was angry for some reason, with a cold and pretty face, like an angry kitten, full of energy.
Xiao Yichen watched this magical scene for a while, thinking uncontrollably that everyone in the capital would be shocked if they saw this scene.
When had he ever seen Fourth Brother acting like this, even when facing...
"Fourth brother."
Finally, Xiao Yichen opened his mouth to interrupt this inexplicably dazzling scene.
But Xiao Yinhan didn't seem to hear it and didn't look back. The girl in his arms still didn't speak, as if she was angry.
At first glance, it seems that the relationship between the two is reversed.
Xiao Yichen did not wait for a response. He was a little embarrassed to "remind" him again, so he could only stand on the side and continue to wait, but this waiting inexplicably gave off a bit of a "stand penalty" feeling.
The servants in the hall all lowered their heads, but no one dared to watch the master's show.
Jiang Tang was the first to notice Xiao Yichen's arrival, but she didn't have a good impression of this person and didn't want to talk to her.
But she didn't want people to watch the show. Just when she was about to push Xiao Yinhan away, the system suddenly said: "Actually, there is still a way to save the male protagonist."
Jiang Tang's first reaction was: Sure enough, the dog system was bluffing her when it said it was hopeless!
She didn't pay attention to it at the first time, as if she didn't hear it, but the little hand that originally fell on the man's arm to push and resist stopped unconsciously.
Xiao Yinhan glanced at it, moved away, and continued: "If you think this place is not good, then we can change the place. We can clean up the people who are an eyesore, just you and me, okay?"
Jiang Tang was originally listening to the system talking, but suddenly heard Xiao Yinhan mention "an eyesore" and was momentarily distracted.
[The reputation of the male protagonist is connected with the national fortune. If the reputation is too low, it will lead to the decline of the country. But conversely, if the reputation of the male protagonist becomes high, the national fortune can also be improved. When the "national fortune" is improved, a special kind of points can be obtained, which can be exchanged for rare props.
Such as "life span".]
Even Jiang Tang got excited when he heard the word "life span" and squeezed the man's arm hard.
But she still didn't speak, nor did she let the system discover her thoughts.
The system couldn't help but ask: [Does the host want to give it a try? So far, the system has only thought of this one way.]
Jiang Tang just lightly flapped his long eyelashes a few times, then raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him, and said softly: "Sir, the Seventh Prince is here. He has been waiting for you for a long time."
The man who had been watching her intently suddenly heard her mention an unrelated person, his brows instantly furrowed, and he looked towards the door with undisguised disgust.
"Four……"
Xiao Yichen's heart perked up when he heard his name, and he was about to call someone again when he was glared at. That look with murderous intent made him forget what he was going to say.
And with this brief distraction, Jiang Tang also sorted out his messy thoughts and stood up from Xiao Yinhan's arms.
"Your Highness, please come in."
The sweet voice reached his ears, and when he met those beautiful eyes without a smile, Xiao Yichen reacted belatedly.
It seemed like I was being used by her again.
Xiao Yinhan wanted to tell people to get out, but Tangtang had already spoken, so he endured it first.
From the moment they met again, he has always followed one principle: As long as Tangtang wants it, he can do it.
Seeing that he didn't resist anymore, Jiang Tang raised his hand to greet his servants to bring tea.
But as soon as the tea was dropped, the man said something embarrassing:
"Drag today's gatekeeper down and beat him to death with sticks."
The blood-smelling words made everyone in the hall feel their hearts skip a beat. The servants all turned pale, and Xiao Yichen, who was the "culprit" who forced his way in with his "prince status" as the "culprit", looked even more ugly:
"Fourth brother..."
"Fourth brother?"
And his opening was a direct hit, "If you really think I am the fourth brother, how dare you break into my house without asking?"
Xiao Yinhan's words, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, were full of edge, and he was merciless to his "good brother": "Have you read all the books you have read for so many years into a dog's belly? Do you still want me to ask for a master?"
Let me teach you what etiquette, justice and integrity are?"
Xiao Yichen became disgraced after being scolded, and subconsciously looked towards Jiang Tang, with a hint of pleading in his eyes, as if he was asking her for help.
Did Jiang Tang see it?
Jiang Tang thought he was blind, looked at the tea cup in his hand, blew on the tea gently, and the warm white mist filled his cheeks, making him feel inexplicably comfortable.
"It's my fault. Fourth brother is right to scold me."
The girl's reaction made Xiao Yichen's heart become more and more depressed, and he even felt secretly angry. He was cursing himself secretly. Why did he want to ask her for help because he had a brain convulsion?
It’s strange that this vicious woman would save him!
"Now that you know you were wrong, you can get out."
When Xiao Yinhan said one sentence, Jiang Tang almost wasn't amused.
Taking another look at the man's increasingly ugly expression, she finally put down her tea cup after seeing enough of the show: "Your Majesty, His Highness didn't do it on purpose."
Jiang Tang tugged on Xiao Yinhan's sleeves and said softly. The voice was not too loud, but the two people beside him could hear it.
Xiao Yichen looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect that this woman would speak for him, and then the next moment——
"He is just used to bullying others. The servant guarding the door is just an ordinary person. How dare he stop a prince?"
Wen Ruan's words were full of yin and yang, Xiao Yichen's face turned slightly red and angry.
Xiao Yinhan looked at her: "What do you want to say?"
Jiang Tang blinked slightly: "I don't think the servants guarding the gate deserve death. I would like to ask for mercy on their behalf, is that okay?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Can you...
Similarly, Xiao Yichen also looked at Xiao Yinhan because of these words. If he was still scolding Jiang Tang in his heart just now, after hearing these words, his thoughts about her changed a bit.
"My sister-in-law is right. It's all my fault and has nothing to do with those servants. I'm willing to apologize to Fourth Brother."
What His Highness the Seventh Prince said was sincere, but unfortunately, both of them ignored him, which made them awkward again.
"Your Majesty?" Jiang Tang's soft fingers slowly fell from the man's sleeve to his, held it, and then shook it gently.
Xiao Yinhan came back to his senses. He was just in a daze. It seemed that he hadn't heard Tangtang plead for mercy for a long time. Does this mean...
Thinking of a certain thought, Xiao Yinhan's heart beat faster.
He agreed: "As for Tangtang, of course."
After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at the housekeeper who had been standing by: "Spare their lives, and if they do it again next time, they will be killed!"
These low words shocked people, but at the same time the housekeeper also breathed a sigh of relief for the few Ximen guards who didn't watch the door carefully: "Yes! I will definitely let them remember it!"
After saying that, the butler cupped his hands and turned around to call someone, running very quickly.
It's too late. The executioners in the mansion are all the guards around the master. They are all skilled in martial arts. If they arrive late, they may be dead!
"Fourth brother..."
Xiao Yichen spoke again, his voice a little hard, but when Xiao Yinhan looked over, he still said it bravely: "I'm here today for the Wanping County case."
Xiao Yinhan didn't react at all, but Jiang Tang's eyes moved when he heard this.
As if it could read minds, the system's voice sounded:
[If this case can reduce casualties and help the male protagonist improve his prestige, the host can give it a try.]
"I have been living in the county government office these days. The county government prison is full of people. I heard they are all family members of the relevant suspects. There are as many as three hundred people."
Xiao Yichen frowned a little more when he said this: "I asked the county magistrate, if the sentence is severe, none of these people will be able to escape."
Xiao Yinhan raised his eyelids, and his cold eyes finally fell on the person opposite him. He raised the corners of his mouth and showed an unsmiling smile: "So? What are you here for? You want to intercede on their behalf."
"Yes." Xiao Yichen admitted directly: "The county magistrate's memorial has been sent to the capital. Once my father reads it, the imperial edict will be issued. I still feel...these people are not guilty enough to die."
Xiao Yinhan: "If you think they are not guilty enough to die, why don't you write a memorial to the emperor? If you really can't, ask someone from the Ministry of Punishment to tell me what's the use? You don't think it was me who asked the county magistrate to kill them, right?"
?”
Of course it’s you!
The county magistrate chose to sentence these three families severely because he was afraid of offending you!
But in actual terms, it is just a human life lawsuit, but it will involve the lives and deaths of more than 300 people. This is too shocking.
It was because of this that Xiao Yichen, who thought he was not very kind, couldn't help but come to visit.
"As long as you open your mouth, Fourth Brother, these people will be saved."
"But why should I save him?"
Xiao Yinhan said coldly: "I didn't kill the person, I didn't try the case, and I didn't determine the crime. You come to me..."
Xiao Yinhan smiled, and then his face suddenly sank: "Get out!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, all the sounds in the hall seemed to disappear.
It was completely silent for a while, and if you look carefully, some people were even shaking because they were so scared.
But Xiao Yinhan didn't seem to notice it, and he didn't even restrain himself at all:
"Xiao Yichen, did I tell you yesterday to stay away and stop bothering me?"
Xiao Yichen's face turned paler: "I, I just..."
"If you don't understand people anymore, I won't mind killing a few more people to satisfy your 'kindness'."
Xiao Yinhan's face was full of gloom and sullenness when he spoke, and it didn't look like he was joking at all. Even Jiang Tang, who was watching the show, slowly stopped smiling.
She was a little confused: "When did he have such a big opinion against Xiao Yichen?"
Did something happen that she didn't know about?
System: [I don’t know.]
After all, it’s the male protagonist’s thoughts, so it’s normal for the system to think it doesn’t understand it.
Seeing the boy in front of him being beaten by the man, he looked pale and pitiful, looking shaky.
Jiang Tang was inexplicably happy.
Well, essentially, she is also a fun person.
How pleasurable is it to watch others suffer misfortune?
What's more, it's someone he doesn't like.
"It's me who disturbed you. Say goodbye."
Xiao Yichen raised his hand with difficulty and was about to leave. Jiang Tang looked at it and suddenly thought:
"Since the Seventh Prince wants to save people so much, he might as well spend money to buy his life."
A delicate female voice suddenly sounded in the depressing and heavy atmosphere, attracting the attention of both people at the same time.
Jiang Tang raised his head and met the man's deep and scrutinizing eyes, and smiled softly: "Your Majesty, there are many refugees outside the city, with a labor force of more than 300 people, why don't you bring them to work?"
Xiao Yinhan understood what the girl wanted almost the moment Jiang Tang spoke.
"You want to save them?"
he asked looking into her eyes.
"You obviously didn't say that before."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but there seemed to be a bit of grievance in the man's voice.
He obviously said that he could save people as long as she wanted.
But at that time she refused directly.
Now, as soon as this bastard opens his mouth, she comes to help...
"that is because……"
Jiang Tang blinked, she couldn't say that at that time she didn't know that his life would be so short, right?
“I didn’t expect that I could still make money at that time.”
Jiang Tang said without blinking: "Anyway, as the prince said, the properties of those involved in the case will be confiscated. If no evildoers are found, let them go. The flood in Huai'an has not yet subsided, and manpower... is very important.
"
The last sentence was filled with unspeakable heaviness. Xiao Yichen's expression moved slightly, and his eyes when looking at Jiang Tang changed a lot.
He didn't expect her to say such things.
But will Fourth Brother listen?
Just as she was thinking this, she saw the girl raised her hand and shook the man's finger: "I want to go outside the city to donate porridge to the victims. Is the prince willing to help?"
Jiang Tang raised his head as he spoke: "In the name of the prince."
Xiao Yinhan's originally emotionless face became a little surprised by her words. It took him a while to find his voice, with a slight trembling and excitement that was not easy to detect:
"If you go in my name, what identity will you use?"
Even though he tried hard to calm down, the palm holding the girl's fingertips could not control his strength.
He had a vague suspicion in his mind, but he didn't dare to think about it.
Hearing this, Jiang Tang smiled sweetly, so beautiful that it made people dazzle. She looked into his eyes and said word by word: "Of course, in the name of King Rong's concubine. Don't you want it, Your Majesty?"
Not willing? How could you not be willing?
Almost as soon as she said these words, Xiao Yinhan couldn't control himself and hugged her into his arms, and the excitement in his voice couldn't be concealed:
"Just do as you say. No matter what you want to do, I agree to it all."
Because of his excitement, his heart beat violently, his cheeks flushed, and he held the girl in his arms tightly. Anyone could see how happy and excited he was at this moment.
But what is there to be excited about?
Xiao Yichen couldn't understand, was confused, and his blank eyes fell on that weak and innocent face...
