After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 343 Death

"Because...you will die whether you answer or not!"

Yu Tingwan’s words instantly made his hair stand on end, and he looked at Yu Tingwan as if he was looking at an evil ghost.

"No, no, no, you can't..."

"I can't what? Can't kill you?"

Yu Tingwan raised an eyebrow, finding it very funny, "When you attacked my second brother, you should have thought about the consequences!"

Seeing Yu Tingwan's serious expression, the man became even more frightened and wanted to leave screaming.

But he was stopped by a soldier nearby.

Afterwards, Yu Tingwan looked at the two people beside him, raised his eyebrows and said to them: "You guys leave first?"

What he got was Shen Chenli's helpless smile.

"Let's go together. If this matter is not completely resolved, our troubles will only increase."

After hearing this, Yu Tingwan finally understood that this person was not afraid of his reputation at all.

Several people walked out of the village again.

At this time, because the prince wanted to give a speech, the soldiers had already called out all the people nearby, and they were all waiting for Yu Tingwan and others in this open land.

Just at this moment, Shen Chenli and others slowly walked over.

All the people were quite respectful to Shen Chenli, but when they saw Yu Tingwan walking side by side with Shen Chenli, they all shrank back in fear.

When Yu Tingwan saw their expressions, he raised his eyebrows slightly and thought that this was not a bad thing, as long as they knew to be afraid.

When they got there, before they had time to say anything, an old man walked out from the crowd, trembling with a cane.

When he saw the three of them, he bowed repeatedly before introducing himself:

"I, Liu Tianhe, have met the prince, the princess, and the prince Song."

Song Shixu looked at him with some surprise and spoke first:

"you know me?"

Liu Tianhe nodded tremblingly again and answered Song Shixu's question respectfully.

"I dare not forget the great kindness of the prince and the prince. I once begged outside the capital many years ago. At that time, I almost starved to death. It was the prince and the prince who gave me some food and copper coins, which saved me from hunger and allowed me to survive."

Shen Chenli and Song Shixu had long forgotten about this matter.

What's more, when they were young, they helped many people, so it is impossible for them to remember them all.

Seeing this, Shen Chenli waved behind him, and the soldier standing nearby quickly brought a stool for the old man to sit down.

Seeing this, the old man waved his hands to refuse, but was interrupted by Song Shixu.

"Please sit down, old man. We are just here to talk about things, not to abuse you."

At this point, Liu Tianhe didn't dare to sit down anymore, and just waved his hands repeatedly:

"I am too embarrassed to sit here. It's all my fault for not teaching the villagers well, causing them trouble for the prince and princess. I heard that they even injured someone, which makes me feel even more sympathetic! I don't dare to sit here!"

Yu Tingwan raised an eyebrow and looked at him. The old man looked really old. Who would have thought that he had insisted on coming to the border.

"What do you mean, old man?"

Seeing Yu Tingwan asking questions, Liu Tianhe hurried to explain.

"Princess, you don't know that ever since the Emperor announced to the world in Dasheng that the prince was plotting treason, the people of Dasheng have been in chaos. No one believes that the prince is such a person.

In addition, the emperor was incompetent and obsessed with alchemy. It was said that he even made officials in the capital take poison. The people were scared and were forced to come to this border to seek a way to survive due to the increasingly heavy taxes.

I knew that the prince was definitely not that kind of person, so I led the people in my village here. Everything was fine at first, but I don't know when a group of gossiping guys suddenly came to the village. Even though I tried my best to persuade them, some villagers were always bewitched by them.

They spread rumors about the prince and princess from time to time, making the people at the border uneasy. That’s why what happened today happened. It’s all my fault! Please punish me, prince and princess!”

As he said this, Liu Tianhe was about to kneel down, but was stopped by a sharp-eyed person beside him.

Yu Tingwan looked at him, feeling helpless, then looked at the group of people behind him, and his brows suddenly frowned.

The old man was right, but were the people behind him right? Now no one spoke up for the old man. They actually wanted him to take the blame for them?

Thinking of this, Yu Tingwan became more and more annoyed with these people. He looked at the old man coldly and said:

"Old man, you are wrong. Since you are here, you believe in the prince, and we don't think we ignore you. We built simple houses for you, asked the people at the border to bring some food every day, and found work for you. We didn't enslave you, and you get paid every day.

Do you think we are too harsh on you? Or do you want me, the prince, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers here to support you?"

Hearing this, no one dared to say a word. They knew in their hearts that this was already very good.

If they went to other places at this time, they might not even be able to enter the city gate and would starve to death outside. Not to mention enslaving them, the princess wanted them to be self-reliant, and this was how it should be.

"princess……"

Liu Tianhe looked ashamed and wanted to say something when he looked at Yu Tingwan, but was interrupted by Yu Tingwan.

"If anyone feels that life is not good now, we enslaved you in the border town, you can leave now and go wherever you want. If you want to eat for free here, the prince and I will never allow it, so please leave! Now I will give you a quarter of an hour to think about it. If you want to leave, we will never stop you."

Yu Tingwan looked at the soldier beside him and said, "Time it!"

Afterwards, the soldiers brought a few more chairs, and the three of them sat there with their eyes closed, not paying any attention to them at all.

All the people were stunned by what Yu Tingwan said, and some felt extremely ashamed when they recalled it.

They are the ones who have let down the prince and princess.

After a quarter of an hour, Yu Tingwan looked up and saw that no one had left.

"Are you sure you want to stay? If you stay, you have to work. No one can hide. Have you thought it through?"

Still no one spoke, but no one moved either.

Yu Tingwan nodded, it seemed that everyone was going to stay, then he clapped his hands, and several people were pressed forward by the soldiers.

"princess."

Yu Tingwan nodded, still looking at the group of people.

"Prince Song, have you checked all these people?"

Song Shixu nodded immediately, took out a piece of paper from his arms, opened it and began to read.

"Wu Dagui, a beggar in a temple thirty miles outside the capital, was recruited two months ago and offered a hundred taels of silver to come to the border to spread rumors about the prince. A deposit of ten taels was required, and he would return to the capital to settle the matter after success.

Zhang Gouzi, from Liushan County, two months ago...after investigation, it was found that the person who bribed them was a eunuch in the imperial city!"

These words shocked everyone instantly. Looking at the people on the ground and the things the soldiers had searched from them, how could they not know that they had all been deceived?

"You bastards, you actually dared to lie to us and make us dissatisfied with the prince and princess. I will beat you to death!"

In an instant, the crowd became chaotic again.
