Chapter 221 Mantis Catching Cicadas
"My lord is good!"

"Those who speak ill of him are to be damned!"

Although His Royal Highness Rong Wang had never been to the saltworks, not to mention his food and new clothes, he even paid the salt workers a month's wages in advance to let them go home with the money.

These behaviors completely overturned the salt workers' assumptions about him, and now the entire salt farm is full of gratitude to him, and some people even regard him as the savior.

Those who were always afraid of the arrival of King Rong, are now looking forward to when this prince will pass.

Xiaoen Xiaohui easily buys people's hearts. It can be seen how miserable these people were when the eldest princess ruled.

"...According to the prince's order, the soldiers stationed have been arranged to enter the saltworks. The gate is heavily guarded, and no one else is allowed to enter or leave at will. And..."

Shunzi paused after finishing speaking, and then hurriedly continued when the man's cold gaze swept over him:

"There is one more thing. The doctor who went there discovered that someone was seriously ill in time, and he has been saved now. It is too late to say that it will take another day or two. Because of this, the salt workers are very grateful to the prince."

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

But he is quite happy, at least these guys know who treats them well.

Shunzi went on to say some other small things, and was about to leave when the spy in charge of investigating the situation in the county came back suddenly:
"My lord, there is something urgent!"

Shunzi paused as he went out, intending to finish listening before leaving.

"Say."

"In the past two days, rumors have spread out of nowhere in the city, saying that hundreds of saltworkers have disappeared from the saltworks because they were dissatisfied with the prince taking over the saltworks, so they were..."

The spy's voice became smaller and smaller, and he became anxious when he heard Shunzi, and really wanted to pat him to tell him to speak quickly.

But he dared not.

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

The spy was startled, and continued to bite the bullet: "I was brutally murdered by the prince."

The room suddenly fell silent.

Before Xiao Yinhan could speak, Shunzi on the side was the first to change his mind: "Fuck the fuck! That bastard spread such rumors! The prince treats those salt workers better than us, no, no... …I mean, whoever preaches that has no good intentions!"

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

Xiao Yinhan's complexion was really not very good, and the spy also came back to his senses: "Young one, order people to arrest all the messengers!"

"Hold on."

A cold male voice came from the seat, and just when Shunzi was worried that the prince would think "arresting people" was meaningless and wanted to kill them all, he heard an inaudible voice coming to his ears: "Don't worry about it."

Do not care?
Shunzi's eyes widened in an instant, subconsciously wanting to refute his lord's words, but when he met those familiar eyes, a clear thought flashed through his mind:

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

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

"Continue monitoring, let's go down."

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

When Shunzi looked at Xiao Yinhan worriedly: "If you don't care, what if it encourages some people's ambition..."

However, Xiao Yinhan had already got up from the chair, with a lazy look on his face: "Then let them grow, whatever they want."

Shunzi opened his mouth to say something, but finally closed it, but the expression between his brows became a bit more dignified: Why is the lord...

Who would have thought that when Xiao Yinhan said "don't worry about it", something happened in the salt field that night——

"My lord, there is news from the salt factory that someone died of poisoning after eating last night. Many people were also poisoned, and now people in the salt factory are panicking..."

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

And because of his words, the man directly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, got up and walked out: "Follow."

"Yes."

Shunzi hurriedly saluted Jiang Tang, and then chased after him.

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

The system said nervously: [The male protagonist's complexion is so bad. 】

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

First it was rumors, then it was poisoning... It was obvious that someone was deliberately targeting Xiao Yinhan.

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

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

Jiang Tang's eyes darkened. If that person dares to do this, he must be prepared to provoke him.

Obviously she has already worked hard to change, the plot...why is it still so difficult.
-
On the other side, as soon as he arrived at the study, the panic and anger on Shunzi's face had disappeared, replaced by a gloating expression: "Go back to your lord, just as your lord said, someone in the saltworks really started to move around. The poison in the salt worker's meal It was the people inside who did it. But because of the guards arranged in advance, he was caught as soon as he poisoned."

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

However, the poisoned people are arranged in advance, the purpose is to catch more fish in the salt pan!
Thinking of the man's behavior when he was caught, Shunzi felt happy.

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

He said, his prince got up, what else is there for others!

Those small fish and shrimps, isn't it just a few words from the prince to solve it?
"People continue to stare, it must not be just those people."

Xiao Yinhan knew very well what it meant to his wayward and arrogant aunt that moving the salt field by himself.

It would be a ghost if she would hand over the saltworks to him so smoothly.

But far from being in a hurry, he was even very happy.

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

If Jiang Tang was present, he would have known that he had really listened to what she had said to persuade the male lead.

If you say kill you, you must be killed, if group killing is not enough, then come one by one.

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

So under Xiao Yinhan's deliberate connivance, two days later, another rumor about the saltworks spread in the city:

King Rong was dissatisfied with the resistance of the salt workers, and started killing again!

This time, he used poison to kill!

Soon, the image of King Rong as the "Bloodthirsty Demon King" became more and more popular, and even the servants in the new house knew it:
The King Rong who is going to take over the salt field is a murderer!
At this time, Yan Mi'er was unexpectedly stopped by her cousin, the Seventh Prince:
"I heard that you provided the food that the fourth brother sent to the saltworks? What's going on? How did you think of this?"

In Xiao Yichen's eyes, Yan Min'er was just a fool, he didn't believe that she would think of this idea.
