The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.

Chapter 151: Angry for the People and the Country

The next day, the two woke up in the midst of a turmoil in the city.

What happened last night was spread by those present, from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

Most of the people in Qingping County knew about it.

Early in the morning, street vendors or women who went out to buy groceries gathered in groups of three or four to chat.

"Have you heard? Have you heard? A very important person has come to our county town. His official rank is higher than that of the county governor."

"I just heard about it. Is this reliable? We haven't had a high-ranking official come to our place for many years. Usually, these trivial matters are handed over to the prefect Chen. We have never even met the county governor."

"It's reliable. The county governor sent someone to spread the news early in the morning."

"I heard that it was because the sons of the merchants who always caused trouble in the past offended this man and were caught red-handed on the spot."

"The situation was intense. I heard that the door of the inn was broken. Many people who stayed in the inn fled to other homes last night. Only the two adults were still living in the room."

"Oh, it's finally retribution. I wonder if these brats will be punished this time?"

"I don't think it will end well this time. I heard that the boy from the Wen family molested the wife of that master on the spot."

"You didn't hear the whole story. That gentleman said he was from the palace and had been guarding the famous King Zhanbei at the border. He said he was visiting us with his princess and passed by. He didn't expect to be bullied by the local tyrants. In the restaurant this morning, many people saw the boy from the Wen family and spoke rudely to him."

"How beautiful do you think this princess should be? She actually made a prince so angry that his hair stood on end..."

"..."

Jiang Shian held a bun in one hand and a cup of steaming milk tea in the other.

I just took a sip and spat it out when I heard this.

"puff!"

Several women who were talking nearby turned to look at him, then showed surprise on their faces.

Wow, this boy is so handsome, he doesn’t look like an ordinary person.

The few of them looked at Ji Yinghuai, who was dressed in black, and quickly looked away. He looked ferocious and it was hard to mess with him.

Not to mention, if the princess looked like the little boy, it would be normal for the King of Zhan Bei to be furious for her.

Jiang Shian looked embarrassed. If he had known, he would have worn the veil before going out. It would have attracted attention.

No, that's not the point.

When did he become a princess?

And you are so angry about being a princess?

Although he had his reasons, if it was just him, Ji Yinghuai would have directly punished those people instead of mobilizing such a large force and planning to conduct a thorough investigation and severe punishment.

He stuffed the thing in his hand into Ji Yinghuai's hand, and solemnly explained to the aunts who were staring at him: "Aunts, what you said is wrong. King Zhanbei heard that the local government was not doing anything, and these second-generation rich people were bullying the people on weekdays, so he took action to punish them and bring peace to the people."

"You...how do you know so much?" one of the women with a vegetable basket in her hand asked back.

"Because I was also in the restaurant last night! He is worthy of being the King of Zhanbei. I saw him from afar and thought he was wise and brave, with extraordinary bearing." Jiang Shi'anxi praised the man behind him.

Then he continued to explain seriously: "If it is just for the person he likes, His Majesty can handle it himself. Why bother to let the yamen runners come forward and let those who have been bullied and wronged in the past go to the yamen to file a complaint."

When the aunts heard this, they agreed and nodded repeatedly.

They all praised the legendary King Zhan Bei for his dedication to his country and his people, saying that he was truly a hero of the time.

Jiang Shian nodded with satisfaction and a faint smile on his face. Just as he was about to continue chatting for a few more words, the man behind him grabbed his collar and pulled him away.

Jiang Shian struggled a few times but failed to break free, so he could only let Ying Huai pull him forward.

He said in dissatisfaction: "What are you doing? Don't pull my collar in public today. I'm just saying something nice to you, why are you interrupting me?"

Ji Yinghuai loosened his grip on Jiang Shian's collar, and held Jiang Shian's hand instead, then passed the still hot oil paper bag to Jiang Shian's mouth: "Even eating can't stop you from eating."

Jiang Shian bit his hand and snorted, "If you have the guts, let go of my hand and don't hold it."

"No ability." Ji Yinghuai looked normal and sighed, "I am no longer the King of Zhanbei. It won't be of much use for you to say so many things for me."

No matter whether he was angry for his beloved or for the country and the people, it would be another rumor if it spread to the capital. It is better to be angry for his beloved.

Jiang Shian shook his head, chewing the bun in his mouth and said vaguely: "It was you who made great contributions on the battlefield before. Now, even if you are no longer the prince, you must let these people know that you did not use your status to oppress the locals, but instead exposed your identity to the people."

After saying that, he glanced at Ji Yinghuai, and his eyes clearly said: You think you are the only one who knows, how could I not know the interests involved here.

Ji Yinghuai suddenly laughed out loud because of his sideways glance.

As expected, the boy always stands on his side.

"Yes, our Shi An is the smartest. It's me who didn't think it through."

Jiang Shian snorted and shoved a bun into Ji Yinghuai's mouth.

This bun is really delicious. It is as big as a fist and baked in a big iron pan. The skin is crispy and spicy, and the meat filling is rich and juicy. Your mouth is full of meaty flavor.

There is no one selling it in their town, so I'll go back and try to see if it works. If I can sell it, it will be a profitable business.

Then he took another sip of the milk tea in his hand. The milk tea tasted very good. It was simply made from milk and a kind of tea called Junshan tea, with a lot of sugar added in it. It had no fishy smell, but a strong milky aroma.

They are all delicious. When he goes back to study, he will open a few snack bars.

The two walked slowly along the street, listening to gossip along the way and buying various breakfast snacks.

There are many different versions of this rumor, one version at the beginning and another version at the end.

When Jiang Shian heard something was wrong, he couldn't help but join in and say a few words.

Ji Yinghuai did not try to stop him. He acted as a guard and worked hard with a pile of food in his hands.

Whenever Jiang Shian tasted something delicious, he would give a bite to Ji Yinghuai.

Ji Yinghuai refused at first, thinking it was a bit unseemly to eat on the street, but when he saw the boy eating, the food was so delicious that he couldn't help but taste a few bites.
