As soon as Han Ran left the palace, he saw Yu Jin waiting under a tree not far away.
In winter, the trees are bare with only branches left, but because the snow that fell on the branches has not melted yet, the ordinary and somewhat ugly trees have become graceful and elegant, and are extremely beautiful.
The young man standing next to the tree has an upright posture and clear eyes, and is more attractive than the jade tree.
Han Ran hesitated for a moment and walked over.
"The prince hasn't left yet?"
"Wait for Master Han to leave together."
Han Ran touched his nose.
The King of Yan speaks very directly.
As the commander of the Jin Scale Guard, those ministers kept their distance from him, and few would approach him, especially openly.
"Your Majesty, please go first."
Yu Jin's beautiful eyes curved up, and she smiled: "Is Lord Han going back to the government office?"
Han subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky and said vaguely: "I want it back."
It was only a short while after daybreak, so I couldn't just go home and drink tea.
"Then Xiao Wang will go with you."
Han Ran looked puzzled.
Yu Jin smiled and explained, "Didn't my father order me to eliminate the negative impact caused by the princess's cousin within three days? I want to talk to him."
Han Ran glanced at Yu Jin with deep distrust in his eyes.
Is it really just a chat? If he had such an unrelated relative who caused such a big mess, he would want to break his neck.
No matter how he thought about it, Han couldn't refuse Yu Jin's request, so he nodded.
With Han Ran's arrangement, Yu Jin soon met his cousin Dou.
At this time, Uncle Dou was as frightened as an eggplant hit by frost. When he saw Yu Jin, his eyes lit up: "Prince, you finally came to save me!"
The last time he went to the Bo's Mansion to ask his sister for money, he found out that his sister had moved into the Prince of Yan's Mansion. He quietly waited outside the palace and knew that the young man in front of him was the Prince of Yan, his cousin's husband.
It's sad to talk about it. He still can't forget the terrifying scene of waking up in the middle of the night and seeing his cousin pointing scissors at him. He even dared not enter the palace.
That’s why he has no money to spend, and he was moved when someone gave him money…
"Save you?" Yu Jin smiled coldly.
Uncle Dou felt his neck getting cold and shrank back.
"You rely on your title as the princess to do evil, and you still expect me to save you? It would be good enough if I don't cut off your restless bastard and send you to the palace to serve."
Uncle Dou's face suddenly turned pale, and he looked at Yu Jin with horror in his eyes.
Cut off... He can't bear to hear these two words at all now!
Yu Jin clasped his hands together and said impatiently: "Well, do as I ask and I'll keep you alive. Otherwise——"
Uncle Dou was frightened by the murderous intent in the other party's eyes and nodded stupidly.
Two quarters of an hour later, Yu Jin left the Jinlinwei Yamen and headed to the scene of the incident.
Another snow had fallen, and the dark red bloodstains on the stone road had long been covered, as if nothing had happened. However, people living nearby kept talking about this after dinner, and as the winter became more boring, the story became more and more widespread.
Gossip about the royal family is really fascinating...
Yu Jian walked along the way and heard a lot of gossip.
"I think the lady of the Li family died in vain. Tsk tsk, that man is a relative of the Princess of Yan, and has a powerful backer."
"He was captured by the Lord Jin Linwei, isn't he merciless?"
"That depends on who they are dealing with. Of course they won't show mercy to us, but how can they not show mercy to the relatives of Princess Yan? The officials will protect each other. Just wait and see. In the end, they will definitely be released quietly. Anyway, we can't see it."
"Poor Li Dalang just came back today. When he heard that his wife was gone, he vomited blood and passed out. When he woke up, he struggled to seek justice, but was finally stopped by someone who had to persuade him..."
"By the way, wasn't Mrs. Li's brother taken away that day? How are they going to place that child?"
"Who knows? In the end, the Li family is ruined. What a sin..."
Yu Jin's expression grew colder as he listened to these rumors.
Even if he had not made the promise in front of the emperor, he could not let this matter ferment.
He is a leisurely prince who doesn't care about his reputation, but Ah Si can't. This world is extremely harsh to women.
Yu Jin stood at the corner of the wall, and Long Dan immediately came over: "Prince, shall we start?"
"Um."
Long Dan waved his hand, and a group of people lined up in the street, banging the gongs in their hands loudly.
Poor and bored people suddenly poured in from all directions, and the experienced ones even tucked their sarongs under their arms.
A team of people used all their strength to knock on the copper gongs, three layers inside and three layers outside, stacked up one after another, and more and more people gathered to watch the excitement.
"What happened?" the latecomer asked anxiously, standing on tiptoe.
"I don't know yet." The person being asked patted the person in front of him and said, "Brother, what happened in there?"
The front patted the front, and finally a message came back: "Still knocking the gong, nothing else for the time being."
Everyone exchanged glances quickly, extremely excited: Based on experience, big gossip is about to happen!
The sound of gongs and drums finally stopped, and the team brought chairs from somewhere and set them up in the middle of the enclosed area.
The cessation of the gong and drum sounds caused the people at the outermost part, who could not see what was happening inside, to scratch their heads and poke the people in front of them: "What's going on? What's going on?"
"The chairs were stacked one on top of the other, like a ladder."
"Using chairs to build a ladder? Is this a trick?"
Soon the people outside stopped asking, and the chairs in the center of the field were piled higher and higher, reaching a height of two meters in the blink of an eye, enough for people inside and outside to see clearly by looking up.
At the top of the ladder stood a thin man. Someone threw a chair up, and he caught it steadily, put it away carefully, and then flipped over and jumped to a new height.
The onlookers cheered loudly.
Seeing that the ladder was already more than three meters high, the onlookers fell silent.
If someone falls from this height, they will die. They should just watch quietly and not scare people with the loud noise.
But the person standing in the air was not nervous at all.
He is the best actor in the city and is best at this. Such a height is nothing to him. As long as he completes today's task, the reward he gets will be enough to cover the income of the troupe for three years.
"At this height, no matter how many people gather around, everyone inside and outside can see it, right?" Yu Jin said calmly.
Long Dan wiped his face and said, "I think people outside the city can see it."
The height of the city wall is no more than two or three meters.
Only the prince could come up with this idea.
Yu Jin raised his head with a faint smile on his face: "That's good."
Now that it has spread, the bigger the fuss, the better.
He doesn't mind watching the excitement, and he doesn't mind creating the excitement either.
The actor in mid-air stood steadily on the chair ladder, looked around, and clasped his fists to the onlookers.
The onlookers held their breath, waiting for his next move.
The actor reached into his arms and pulled out something, then threw it out suddenly. A long piece of cloth fluttered in the wind, and the black characters on a green background were very eye-catching.
"What's written on it?" the illiterate man asked anxiously.
