The man was startled and immediately did not dare to speak anymore. He shrank his neck and was about to take the bracelet and leave quickly.

The shopkeeper didn't stop him, he just looked at him thoughtfully.

But what he didn't know was that the man was stopped as soon as he left the pawn shop. The people who stopped him were naturally Xia Yechen's people. They stared at the man closely and said coldly: "Where did the bracelet in your hand come from?" ?”

At the same time, Xia Yechen and Zhou Xiaoyuan on the other side also got the news. They hurried over and happened to see the man tied up.

Xia Yechen frowned when he saw this, and after a while he said, "What's going on? Why is he tied up like this if he knows the whereabouts of the princess?"

Hearing this, Song Ling, who had arrived in advance, kicked him over and answered bluntly: "Master, he took off the princess's jewelry and pawned it off, and was discovered by our people, but he claimed that he cut it himself. He refuses to admit that he has met the princess."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyuan also had a bad feeling in her heart. She took a step forward and motioned to Song Ling to untie him first. Although Song Ling was a little reluctant, he pinched his nose and agreed for Xia Yechen's sake.

But that man was also very indebted. He had a sinister look on his face that made him feel guilty at first glance, but he still kept yelling.

"In broad daylight! Even if you are a royal noble, you can't be so unreasonable, right?! I picked this thing up, what evidence do you want me to produce?"

The noise made Zhou Xiaoyuan frown. Xia Yechen noticed her discomfort and his expression immediately turned cold. "You can continue talking if you want to die."

The man froze and finally noticed Xia Yechen's extraordinary bearing.

He shrank his neck and looked like he was cowering, so

Tsukuru said helplessly: "Sir, I am just a common man. I don't know anything. I picked this thing up when I found it shining brightly. I have never seen anyone else."

"If you had told me what you wanted earlier, wouldn't it be enough for me to sell it to you? Why bother making such a big fuss? I'm just a poor person who wants to beg for food. Just let us go."

He was unexpectedly skillful when he was selling out miserably. Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't help but frown, stared at him twice, and suddenly said:

"Okay, I'll take one hundred taels of this bracelet. I'll pay you with one hand and deliver it with the other, okay?"

The man had been crying for a long time and was stunned when he heard this. He rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Is this really going to accept my bracelet?"

Looking at him like this makes people feel uneasy.

Song Ling frowned and reminded him: "This is not your bracelet. Even if you picked it up, it is reasonable for us to take it back and return it to the original owner. Why do you have the nerve to ask for our money?"

When the man heard this, he was not happy and shouted: "There is hard work without credit. It's just a hundred taels of silver. It's easy for you, right? Why bother a poor countryman like me? I don't care, a hundred taels of silver." Not two silver coins or one copper coin less!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyuan was embarrassed, "But I didn't bring any money in my hand. I only have this on me. Do you have anything else that is more valuable?"

As she spoke, she took out a few ingots of gold from her arms. Looking at the quality and weight, the men were all stunned.

"This, this, this is gold?! I have never seen anything so valuable in my life!"

He looked so greedy that he immediately agreed to Zhou Xiaoyuan's words and said casually

He said, "Don't worry, I won't lose you. I still have several valuable things!"

"Oh?" Zhou Xiaoyuan glanced at him and said with a sneer, "Aren't you a poor farmer with no money?"

"Why are there so many more valuable things now?"

The man was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect that he would stumble in this place. He was also talking about him, hesitating and hesitating to the point.

But the others were reluctant to listen any more. Xia Yechen glanced at him, and Song Ling immediately understood, took out his whip and swung it at him.

As I said before, Song Ling's whip did not hit just one or two people.

Even though this man looked thick-skinned, he was actually just fat and could not withstand the beating. After a while, he could no longer hold back his howling like a killing pig, and could only cry and say: " I was wrong, I was wrong, stop fighting!!”

Zhou Xiaoyuan made people stop with a cold face, and asked coldly: "What, what else do you want to say before you die?"

These words were obviously meant to scare the man, but after fighting for so long, the man did not dare to bet on whether these lunatics would actually attack them. He sobbed and had no choice but to tell everything he knew.

Zhou Xiaoyuan's eyes widened as she listened, never expecting that Princess Jialun would encounter such a thing.

Xia Yechen was very calm and was not surprised after hearing this.

He asked Songling to take good care of this person, and then he was about to go to where Princess Jialun was to find someone. Zhou Xiaoyuan reacted to their movements and was about to follow her, but Xia Yechen turned around and stopped her.

Xia Yechen stared at her, his eyes full of disapproval, but his tone remained the same.

Wen Wen said, "You have been looking for her alone for so long. Just leave the rest to me. I will definitely find Princess Jialun."

"It's not that I don't trust you..." Zhou Xiaoyuan wanted to explain something, but when she thought about where Xia Yechen was going, she hesitated.

Xia Yechen knew all this.

He nodded and said that it was inconvenient for her to go to that place. After that, he still comforted Zhou Xiaoyuan and asked her to take a walk around for the time being and not to let down the rare free time.

This was a very pleasant thing to say, but it was a pity that the timing was wrong.

Zhou Xiaoyuan shook her head, but in the end she said nothing. She just stood there and watched Xia Yechen leave.

Next to him, Song Ling received the order and stayed. He stepped forward and asked Zhou Xiaoyuan what he was going to do next. Zhou Xiaoyuan glanced around and focused on a clothing store.

Following his eyes, Song Ling naturally thought that Zhou Xiaoyuan was going to buy clothes. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Don't worry, girl, I have money with me."

Buying clothes at this time... Zhou Xiaoyuan really wanted to complain. She glanced at Song Ling with a complicated expression, but she didn't know what she thought of, so she didn't object. Instead, she walked over to take a look.

Song Ling stood at the door thoughtfully and did not go in directly, so naturally he had no way of knowing that the items sold inside were actually men's clothing.

Seeing that Song Ling had no intention of coming in, Zhou Xiaoyuan also breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of the surprised looks of people in the store, she went directly to pick out a men's clothing. Before entering the inner room, she specially reminded: "You can pay directly to me later." Just the guard at the door."

Before anyone else could react, Zhou Xiaoyuan had already gone in to change clothes.

, everyone looked at each other, a little confused for a while.
