"Fourth Master, please spare my life. I have elderly parents and young children to take care of. Please have mercy on me. I will never dare to do such illegal things again. Please have mercy on me, Fourth Master."
The shop owner knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, kowtowing to Yinzhen and begging for mercy. Soon, blood was flowing from his forehead.
Yinzhen stood with his hands behind his back, completely unmoved, and his already stern demeanor made people even more frightened.
"Serves you right."
Looking at the shop owner who kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, Jiang Ranli spoke in a low voice.
The state controls weapons, firstly to maintain the regime, and secondly to maintain a harmonious social environment and protect the people. If people on the streets are armed with lethal weapons, what will happen if something goes wrong?
Thinking about how many modern policemen and soldiers have sacrificed their lives in catching arms and drug smugglers, Jiang Ranli was furious.
Although her voice was very low, it still did not escape Yinzhen's ears. He glanced sideways at Jiang Ranli, who was full of anger, and a hint of astonishment flashed across his eyes.
"I didn't expect that although you are a woman, you are quite sensible." The Thirteenth Prince was also very surprised.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ranli rolled her eyes at him in annoyance, "Do you think that I am a person who can't tell right from wrong, can't distinguish between the noble and the noble, and is unreasonable? I tell you, don't look down on anyone, especially don't look down on women."
After being refuted by Jiang Ranli, the Thirteenth Prince was surprised again. Seeing the little flame in Jiang Ranli's eyes, he hurriedly said, "You are right, I understand."
That’s more like it!
Jiang Ranli was very satisfied with the Thirteenth Prince's attitude of admitting his mistakes and immediately decided to forgive him. After all, in this feudal society, it was rare for a prince who grew up in the center of power to admit his mistakes so sincerely.
The shop owner broke the law and was sentenced to death, but for some reason Yinzhen felt pity for him and promised to give him a lighter sentence.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Fourth Master. Thank you very much for your kindness, Fourth Master. I will never forget your great kindness," the shop owner prostrated himself in gratitude emotionally.
Yinzhen still stood with his hands behind his back, his face as cold as a mountain.
Jiang Ranli looked at him, sighing in his heart that he looked so cold and stern that it was scary, but then he heard him say to the shop owner.
"Sixty taels, give her this shop."
Looking in the direction Yinzhen pointed, Jiang Ranli was shocked to find that she was the 'she' that the cold-faced king was talking about.
What is going on?
Jiang Ranli didn't understand why things turned out like this.
She still didn't understand until she had a house deed in her hand.
The shop owner was captured by Yinzhen and the Thirteenth Prince's guards, who mounted their horses and were about to leave.
"Why?" Jiang Ranli asked loudly towards their backs.
"Thank you gift".
Yinzhen didn't look back, leaving these two words and then galloping away. The Thirteenth Prince was full of confusion. He didn't understand what his fourth brother meant by the thank you gift, but seeing his fourth brother walking away, he waved to Jiang Ranli and drove his horse to chase him.
Thank you gift?
These two words made Jiang Ranli break out in a cold sweat. The Thirteenth Prince didn't understand, but she knew what they meant.
"Miss, the Fourth Master bought this shop for you at a low price as a thank you gift. Will he still keep the secret for you?" Sixian and Sidai were very worried.
It was already afternoon, the sun was setting, the temperature was no longer pleasant, and the chill of early spring was coming from all directions, causing Jiang Ranli's body to tremble slightly.
