Isn’t it good for the five of us to be together?

The group was relatively low-key. We only brought two servants and two grooms, but we had differences in identity forgery.

I said: "Arche and I are brother and sister, and Your Majesty and the Princess are brother and sister. It's just right."

Ling Hengyuan said: "You think this is just for fun, the whole family is here."

I said: "Your Majesty, do you think so?"

Ling Hengyuan pointed at the princess and said: "My boss." Then he pointed at me, Qin Che and himself: "You, he, I, my servant."

The princess almost fell down after hearing this: "You can't do that, Your Majesty!"

Thinking about it, I just said that Your Majesty was kind in the car, and now I got off the car and asked Your Majesty to work as a servant for the princess. Could it be that he was assassinated directly after returning to the city.

But His Majesty said that even the eight cows could not be pulled back, so a strange lineup was born.

A boss who is doting on the surface but a bit cowardly on the inside, a maid who is not very skilled in serving people, and two guards who don't look easy to mess with... When they entered the store, the shopkeeper thought they were here to vandalize the store.

After explaining our purpose of visit, the shopkeeper immediately arranged for us to sit down: "I didn't know that my boss came all the way here. It was a small oversight."

The princess put on all her airs and waved her hand: "I came here on business this time, so I was in a hurry and didn't inform you in advance. Ah Yue, please talk to the shopkeeper."

I told my whole story to the shopkeeper. I was afraid that he wouldn't hear clearly, so I had already compiled a copy and handed it to him.

The same is true for the next few stores. Each shopkeeper is worthy of being in the shopping mall. I understand everything and can come up with some better improvement methods from time to time.

Maybe it was because the boss was personally in charge, or maybe the two "guards" behind him were too fierce, so the shopkeeper moved very quickly.

Except this one...

This shop is gorgeously decorated and can be considered a big shop. What I was puzzled about before was that a shop with such a large expense would lose money every year.

The princess also told me: "I have wanted to resell this shop many times, but I couldn't help it. Sometimes it makes a considerable profit."

At a glance, the shop is indeed deserted and there are very few customers.

But logically speaking, as long as the prices of the items sold are reasonable, and this shop is located in the center of the city and is very prosperous, how can it lack customers? There must be something fishy about that.

Seeing Ling Hengyuan deep in thought, I knew that he was so smart that he must have guessed the reason.

I was a little flustered, fearing that he would kill someone if something didn't go his way.

Even so, we were still going to go into the shop and check it out.

We didn't identify ourselves and pretended to be guests and looked over. You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it. Prices here are three times higher than anywhere else.

Maybe I was too surprised, so I spoke directly from my heart.

When the waiter in the store heard this, he said: "The girl and her group must be from out of town, and they may not know much about our store. Our store is opened by Princess Xiangyou, and the furnishings in the store are almost the same as those in the Princess's mansion. The items sold are The things are also produced by the royal family, so it is inevitable that they are more expensive."

The blue veins on the princess's forehead throbbed.

I didn't expect that the royal family's products would be used to the fullest by this shop. Seeing Ling Hengyuan frowning at the side, I quickly gave the princess a hint.

The princess immediately stood up and took out the token: "I am here in person, but I don't know that someone is bold enough to use my name. Call your shopkeeper, and I will ask you personally."

When the waiter heard this, he was shocked. He quickly knelt down to say hello and went to find the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was sweating profusely: "I didn't know that the Princess was here in person, so I was afraid that I would be missed from afar, so I apologize for this."

The princess put down the teacup heavily and said in a cold voice: "You are guilty, but that is not your crime. I ask you, what are you doing to drive up prices?"

On the way the shopkeeper came, I had already read some income and expenditure records. Basically, the people who came to the shop to spend money were officials and aristocratic families.

He would pay such a high price, and it seemed that he wanted to climb up to the throne of the princess.

The more I read, the more I frowned. Some of the accounts were simply wrong. Half of the accounts were fake.

Ling Hengyuan also looked bad.

The shopkeeper couldn't explain why, he just hesitated: "This, this, this..."

I stood aside and said, "In addition to driving up prices, how much money have you squandered from the government?"

The shopkeeper became more and more panicked, knelt down and said quickly: "Young man is jealous of money, but a girl can't spit on others."

I laughed: "So you admit that you made arbitrary decisions, raised prices, lied about income and expenditure, and all the money went into your pocket?"

The shopkeeper trembled: "This, this is simply strong words."

Me: "Are you spewing blood and making excuses? Let the government officials find out. Since you know this is the royal property, you still dare to act so boldly. I guess the princess is busy with affairs and cannot take care of the shop here, so let you The fox is pretending to be powerful. Does the shopkeeper really want to be powerful?"

Ling Hengyuan glanced at me lightly and didn't say anything.

When the shopkeeper saw that the matter was exposed, he kept kneeling to plead guilty. Ling Hengyuan and the princess had no intention of taking care of him and directly called the people from the Yamen to deal with it.

The people at the Yamen heard that the Princess was actually here in person, but they were not too busy. Since such a big thing happened, they paid even more attention to it.

Even the local magistrate was alarmed. When he came, he saw Ling Hengyuan and was hit hard again. Basically, these people didn't know Ling Hengyuan, except for the prefect who had met him a few times the year before.

Lord Magistrate: "It's a humble position. I don't know what a humble position is..."

Ling Hengyuan raised his hand to stop him and pointed at me: "Why are you looking for her?"

The magistrate is worthy of being in the officialdom. He understood immediately and bowed to me: "May I ask what I call this... girl?"

I said: "The new strategist Chen Yueji."

The prefect was surprised: "It's actually a colleague."

I said: "That's polite. Please ask the magistrate to return the money that this villain has stolen from you in the same way."

The prefect looked troubled: "This matter may take some time."

I said: "It's okay, you can just make your own decision."

In just one stick of incense, the yamen moved very quickly and had finished all the examinations. The shopkeeper Mo Mo had quite a lot of money, which was enough for a shop to make three years of income. I was surprised in my heart, thinking that these officials were generous enough.

It was almost time to convict, and the prefect asked us how to deal with it. I was about to speak when I saw that Ling Hengyuan's face had already turned ugly, which showed that his patience had long been exhausted.

He pulled out the dagger and walked slowly in front of the man. The knife flashed and blood flowed out. The smell of blood instantly filled the entire room.

I was stunned, someone covered my eyes.

Qin Che: "Ji, don't look."

I heard Ling Hengyuan's cold tone: "It's an eyesore to me and it's also dirty to my hands."

There was silence in the room. No one expected that someone would suddenly die. The waiter in the store shouted in fear: "My lord, spare your life, my lord! Princess, spare your life! Princess!"

Options appear:

"Stop Ling Hengyuan"

"Call Ling Hengyuan"

I chose the first one.

I broke away from Qin Che's hand. Now was not the time for my heart to be weak. Resisting the desire to vomit, he ran over and grabbed Ling Hengyuan's hand holding the dagger, fearing that he would continue to kill people.

This is the reason why I don’t want Ling Hengyuan to travel with us. Because I know he won’t be able to hold it back if something happens.

I asked the prefect to take the person down quickly and deal with him according to the law. After a while, the room became quiet.

Ling Hengyuan shook off my hand, his eyes full of disgust: "It's so dirty."

I froze in place, even though I knew he was talking about blood stains.
