Chapter 171 The Place of Imprisonment Also Contains Mechanisms
truth
The prince learned another word.
"I'll give you more men, and your second brother will come with you too. What do you think?"
"Alright, thank you very much, Your Highness!"
The Crown Prince smiled indulgently. Just then, someone came in to report that those who had been rescued had come to express their gratitude upon hearing that His Highness had woken up.
Where are they?
They're all outside.
"Let's go out and take a look," Ning Qingran said to Ji Yingying. Ji Yingying finished the last piece of pastry before replying.
The two went outside, where it was pitch black.
"This humble subject kowtows in gratitude to Your Highness the Princess for saving my life." Men and women alike were present; everyone was dressed and looked completely different from before.
"Ah... get up, everyone."
I'm so kind!
"Young Master Ji, thanks to you, otherwise we would have been locked up for a long time."
"Yes, Lord Ji, we returned yesterday. These are to express our gratitude to the princess for saving our lives."
Dozens of boxes of jewelry were brought out; if the courtyard was already overflowing with people, it was now overflowing with boxes.
The poor children were given meat and eggs, with eggs being the most abundant.
The women offered handkerchiefs and other small gifts; in short, everyone contributed what they could.
Gold and silver jewelry, fine silks and satins, food, drink and entertainment are all available.
Ji Yingying went down for a walk and looked around, and she seemed to really like all these things.
This made Ji Jiayu worry that she might accept bribes, and she was in a state of high anxiety. She wanted to remind Ji Yingying, but the Crown Prince was still there.
"Young Master Ji!" Magistrate Li called out. Ji Yingying nodded. "There's quite a lot of stuff. How about this, send it all to..." Ji Yingying turned to look at the Crown Prince, then asked, "That place hasn't been named yet, has it?"
Not yet
"Then let's call it Huanchen Residence."
"You can decide for yourself."
"Magistrate Li, could you arrange for someone to register all these items and then send them to Huanchen Residence? Does that woman there know how to do accounts?"
None of the women with their heads down responded. Just as Ji Yingying was about to ask Magistrate Li to deal with the matter, someone raised their hand, timid and hesitant.
It's so heartbreaking!
"I...I...I will..."
"You can do it?" Ji Yingying ran over and grabbed her hand: "Sister, you can do it, then you do it."
After pulling the person over, he said to Magistrate Li, "After you register her, give her the account book."
"Everyone, all these things have been given to me, right?" Ji Yingying asked again to confirm.
"Yes, yes, they're all for you."
"Then I'll make the decision."
After confirming it was hers, she said, "Magistrate Li, after you have completed the register, hand the account book over to her. From now on, you will be responsible for keeping the accounts. All these things will be left for Huanchen Residence to use."
"Can you take notes?"
The woman nodded, and Ji Yingying said again, "You have to stand up for yourself. There are a lot of filthy people out there. If you don't stand up for yourself, it will be very difficult."
"Crown Prince Brother~" Ji Yingying suddenly moved closer to Ning Qingran, her smiling face so adorable it seemed she could be cupped in her hands.
"What's up?"
"Yes, lend me someone I can use, just for three months. I need a kind-hearted nanny who can stand up to me."
"good."
"Hehe, thank you so much, Crown Prince!" Ji Yingying said after thanking him, then said to the woman, "I have already asked the Crown Prince to arrange for someone to teach you. When the time comes, you should learn to stand with her against outsiders. If you need to curse, then curse. If you need to take action, then take action. If you can't deal with her, then play the victim. If playing the victim doesn't work, then cry. Cry where there are many people and tell the truth. But you must be reasonable. If you are unreasonable, then you can only be bullied."
"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Your Highness."
Such a young child knows so much; everyone felt she was like a god.
"Alright, Magistrate Li, make the arrangements. Pack your things, and we'll head back to Anmin County today. I'll go with you, and we'll go in disguise."
"yes"
Magistrate Li arranged for people to make sure everything was in order before Ji Yingying pulled the Crown Prince back home.
“Your Highness, I think there are still places where people are tied up.”
How to say it?
"When I brought my men out, there were only three kidnappers, and their martial arts skills were not high. With so many people being held, including Magistrate Li and the merchants, it's impossible that so few people were assigned to guard them."
The Crown Prince pondered for a moment, and after confirming that he hadn't heard any thoughts, he said, "They're all imprisoned there. There's no other place. The reason there are so few people is because Rong Yi and Rong Er killed everyone!"
Ning Qingran poked her head and said affectionately.
"Right now, those people haven't realized what's happening yet, but we probably won't be able to contact them for the next couple of days. They'll come looking for us, so we need to act quickly."
"Also, there are security measures in the place where you are being held, so don't act rashly in the future."
What? There were hidden mechanisms? I had no idea.
[Xiangxiang doesn't know either, host. If this were... well, an arrow, you'd be a hedgehog! You're the runner-up, after all.]
How could you be so shameless? There was a secret behind it and you didn't tell me.
[I already said I don't know either. I'm just a gossip-watching system, not some other system.]
【you……】
"Rong Er turned off the mechanism and was injured. As for the remaining three guards..."
"What? Rong Er is injured?" Ji Yingying wanted to go check on Rong Er, but how did he get injured?
"Yes, he encountered a trap as soon as he came out, was shot with an arrow, which alerted people. He killed several people and cleaned up the mess before dealing with the trap and contacting us at the same time."
"When Rong Yi arrived, he secretly killed some more. The bodies are all buried on that hilltop now. Do you want to go take a look?"
"I'm not going, I'm not going!"
No wonder you rescued people so easily; someone else led the way.
[Yes, let's go check on Rong Er later. How did he get injured?]
"Go get something to eat. You'll be going to Anmin County with Magistrate Li later. Judge Liu is coming too."
Ning Qingran knew her personality; just from the way she looked when she saved someone yesterday, she knew she was a restless person.
If it weren't for Rong Yi and Rong Er dealing with those people outside yesterday, she probably would have been shot dead as soon as she came out.
He couldn't help but remind them, "When we get to Anmin County, we can't act rashly. We should let others scout ahead before we do anything."
"Understood, thank you, Your Highness."
Ji Yingying was actually quite scared. If Rong Er hadn't come, things would have been difficult. She was the first to leave and the first to die.
She underestimated this world. What good is truth if you can't dodge a spear in the open? It's easy to dodge a spear in the dark, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow!
"Go quickly!"
As soon as the person left, Ning Qingran called out An Yi and asked him to protect Ji Yingying.
Even a bodyguard was assigned to Ji Yingying, for fear that something might happen to her.
[Dog, we almost lost our lives yesterday. Luckily, I had a premonition and let Rong Er go out first. Otherwise, with the rest of us being weak, I'm afraid I would have let him down.]
