When Su Mengyan heard this, her cheeks turned red and she gently tapped Situ Yao's chest, showing a rare shyness.
Situ Yao burst into laughter at Su Mengyan's actions and was obviously very happy.
Naturally, the people here are also very happy.
Who wouldn’t be happy when their long-lost loved one finally returns home?
The county magistrate followed Situ Yao and bowed deeply to him, "This matter is truly thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's tireless investigation, the truth would not have been revealed so quickly."
Upon hearing this, Situ Yao waved his hand and did not take credit for it.
Not only did he save the girls, he also found a female doctor to heal them, doing things to perfection.
Su Mengyan stood beside Situ Yao, listened to the people's words of gratitude, and smiled sweetly.
It feels good to be thanked.
On this side, Situ Yao rescued the trapped girls, and on the other side, Situ Zhao, with the help of Cui Mixue, successfully found the human traffickers' hideout and caught them all.
Situ Zhao was full of confidence and wanted to return to the post station as soon as possible. The case that Situ Yao had been investigating here for so long was solved as soon as he arrived.
The people will definitely feel that they are many times more powerful than Situ Yao, and they will definitely come to praise themselves.
Thinking of how he was admired by the people, Situ Zhao turned up his nose in complacency.
Cui Mixue followed Situ Zhao, and there was no lack of contempt for Situ Zhao in her eyes.
I wondered if he really thought that without my help, he could solve this case with his stupid brain alone?
Do you really think too highly of yourself?
The two men followed the captured human traffickers here, but they saw Situ Yao being surrounded by a group of people who were thanking him, and they were immediately dumbfounded.
He immediately pulled the county government office over and asked, "What's going on? Why are the people thanking him?"
The county magistrate was naturally very happy to have a worry solved. Seeing Situ Zhao asking about his own, he immediately replied cheerfully, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise. He rescued the abducted girls. Now everyone is very happy!"
As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of Situ Yao.
Situ Zhao was so angry when he saw how popular Situ Yao was.
I have been busy for so long and caught the human traffickers here, but these people did not come to thank me, but instead went to flatter Situ Yao?
I just rescued a group of captured girls. How could it be as great as catching the human traffickers?
Thinking of this, he felt even more aggrieved. He casually drew out a sword from the guard beside him and slashed directly at the human trafficker standing aside.
Blood splattered all over the place. Cui Mixue, who was standing aside, screamed subconsciously.
Situ Zhao seemed to be unsatisfied and raised his hand to kill another one, but was stopped by Situ Yao.
Situ Yao frowned slightly, looking at Situ Zhao with a somewhat sinister look in his eyes, "What are you doing? Killing people in the street, aren't you afraid of disturbing the local people?"
Situ Zhao disagreed with Situ Yao's words. He snorted coldly and threw the sword in his hand to the ground.
The human trafficker who was killed opened his eyes wide, as if he didn't expect to die so suddenly.
"They are just a few vicious human traffickers. What if I kill them?"
Situ Zhao obviously did not take the lives of these human traffickers seriously. When he saw them die, he just snorted coldly and kicked them further away.
The people around had never seen such a bloody scene. Even though Situ Zhao had arrested so many human traffickers and done a great thing, they could not utter a word of applause.
Seeing everyone around him fall silent, Situ Zhao tilted his head and looked at the people. "Why are you so happy just because he rescued a few people? I found the human traffickers and eliminated this evil for the people, but why didn't you cheer for me?"
After hearing what Situ Zhao said, Su Mengyan felt more or less speechless.
She tilted her head and looked at Situ Yao, looking as if she didn't want to stay any longer.
Situ Yao patted Su Mengyan's hand to comfort her, then looked at the people around him.
When the people around heard Situ Zhao's words, they began to cheer for him sporadically.
But it was obvious that the cheers were much weaker than those from Situ Yao just now.
When Situ Zhao heard the voice, he became even more annoyed. He just waved his hand and left with a dark face.
A group of guards were left to guard the human traffickers, staring at each other in amazement, not knowing what to do.
Seeing Situ Zhao leave, Cui Mixue naturally didn't want to stay any longer. She glanced in the direction of Situ Yao, then followed Situ Zhao's steps closely and followed him.
"Why aren't these people happy for me? Aren't they a bit too snobbish, just because he's the crown prince?"
Cui Mixue heard Situ Zhao talking nonsense without restraint and quickly covered his mouth. "What nonsense are you talking about here? If others hear it, be careful not to anger the emperor."
Upon hearing this, Situ Zhao lowered his voice unconsciously and restrained his movements, but he was still obviously very unhappy and kicked the tree in front of him hard.
Cui Mixue had no choice but to comfort Situ Zhao, "Maybe it's because you killed people directly and scared the people, so this happened."
After hearing what Cui Mixue said, Situ Zhao obviously didn't take it to heart.
Cui Mixue looked at Situ Zhao, then sighed and advised, "The opinions of the people are not really important. What's important is the opinion of the emperor, isn't it?"
After hearing this, Situ Zhao's eyes brightened slightly.
Seeing that this was working, Cui Mixue continued, "When we return to the capital, it will be you, not His Royal Highness, who captures the human traffickers. It will be you who will be rewarded by His Majesty. What will Situ Yao get?"
Thinking of this, Situ Zhao's mood obviously became much better.
He nodded and looked at Cui Mixue, "You're right. The opinions of the people are not important. As long as Father can understand my value, that's all that matters."
Cui Mixue watched Situ Zhao gradually calm down, and she also raised the corners of her lips and smiled at him.
Since Situ Zhao had already caught the human trafficker and Su Mengyan had also been found, there was naturally no reason for Situ Yao to stay here any longer.
After discussing with Situ Zhao, the two decided to set off back to Beijing.
When he was about to leave, local people came to see him off, their clothes all wet with tears, and they all praised Situ Yao.
Situ Zhaoxian rarely heard people praising him, so he naturally followed the crowd with a sour face.
