Sang Jueqian rubbed his ears, wondering if there was something wrong with them.
But looking at the expression on Li Junyan's face, Sang Jueqian knew that she had heard correctly.
The shopkeeper did say that just now.
Seeing that Li Junyan didn't say anything, the shopkeeper thought he didn't believe it.
"Don't disbelieve it, this is true!" the shopkeeper said seriously.
Li Junyan blinked slowly, "How can the shopkeeper be so sure it's true? Could it be that you have met the Prince of Chen before?"
"How could I be that lucky!" The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly, "But these past two days, the county magistrate has occasionally come out with me, and he keeps calling me Prince Chen. Could what the county magistrate said be false?
If this is fake, then the county magistrate must be a fool to treat a liar as a guest of honor! "
As soon as he finished saying this, the shopkeeper quickly covered his mouth with a look of fear on his face.
It just came out of my mouth!
I accidentally told the truth!
Li Junyan pretended not to hear the shopkeeper's next words and asked curiously, "Shopkeeper, what did the Prince of Chen do that angered heaven and man? To scare you like this?"
"he--"
The shopkeeper was so angry that his face turned red.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
But he was obviously reluctant, stretching his neck and widening his eyes.
Li Junyan changed the subject and said, "I am going back to Chang'an with my servant. When I pass by here, the shopkeeper must tell me what happened. After I return, I will tell my family about it. Maybe..."
Li Junyan didn't say the rest.
But not saying it is more effective than saying it.
The shopkeeper showed hesitation, but was still tempted. "I can tell you secretly, but once you leave this room, if you tell anyone else that it was me who told you, I won't admit it."
Li Junyan nodded seriously, "Of course! I just heard it from the wind, it has nothing to do with the shopkeeper."
These words really touched the shopkeeper's heart, and his smile became even brighter.
"The Prince of Chen has been in our county for only three days, including today.
But in just three days, they had already broken into several inns and restaurants and robbed two jewelry shops.
Not only that, they also forcibly abducted women! Any girl they saw who looked good was taken away directly.
Some families dare not let their girls go out for fear of being targeted, but they still cannot escape.
The county magistrate's wife directly compiled all the girls in our county into a roster, which also included their portraits, and showed it to the Prince of Chen.
As long as the Prince of Chen takes a fancy to someone, he will order his men to arrest them.
Our county is located in this beautiful place with mountains and rivers. Although it is not rich, it has been peaceful and harmonious for many years.
He had only been here for three days, but he had already turned the county into a haunted house.
Not to mention at night, even during the day, there's no one on the street!"
The shopkeeper was angry and sad. By the end of his speech, his haggard face was covered with tears.
Li Junyan sat there with no expression on his face, but a storm was brewing in his eyes.
Sang Jueqian, who knew Li Junyan, knew that he was very angry at this time.
If those people were in front of him now, he would definitely kill them all.
Not only did this person impersonate Li Junyan, he even persecuted the people like this!
The more Sang Jueqian thought about it, the angrier he became. He wished he could reach in and flatten the entire county government office.
Just then, Lin Qi walked in.
Lin Qi's expression was also very solemn.
Although he was not here just now, he must have asked the waiter about something, otherwise his expression would not be so ugly.
Seeing Lin Qi coming in, the shopkeeper seemed to be awakened from a dream and quickly wiped the tears from his face, "I'll ask someone to get you some food. After you finish eating, I'll take you to rest and leave early tomorrow morning.
Those of us who live here and have wives, children and elderly relatives here can’t leave.
If you can leave, leave now!"
The shopkeeper turned and left.
Although he was still plump, his back was hunched and his steps were unsteady, which made people feel sad just by looking at him.
After watching the shopkeeper walk away, Lin Qi sat down next to Li Junyan and spoke in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, I have just made some careful inquiries. A few days ago, a group of people came to this county and committed all kinds of evil.
But the subordinates always felt that their behavior was a bit strange.
If he was just an ordinary liar, why would the county magistrate help him?
Could it be that our whereabouts have been revealed? Is this a deliberate attempt to ruin your reputation?
Li Junyan's eyes were filled with murderous intent, "No matter who they are, no matter what their purpose is, if they dare to do such a thing, they must bear the consequences.
Later, go find a few of the guys to get some information. Find out where the county government office is, where those people live, and how many people there are in total."
Li Junyan didn't need to explain too much, Lin Qi instantly understood what Li Junyan meant.
This is to visit the county government office at night!
Lin Qi nodded heavily, "Yes!"
After a while, the shopkeeper came over with the waiter.
The waiter was carrying a tray with two bowls of noodles on it.
"My shop has been closed for three days, and the dishes that don't keep well have long been eaten. I cooked two bowls of noodles for you, so just eat them and go to bed early."
Although Li Junyan is a prince, he is not that picky when it comes to food.
Looking at the noodles in front of him, Li Junyan thanked him, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
