They all want me to be the villain

"Have you heard? There have been big moves in the Shonan Prince's Palace recently."

"This is the palace of Prince Shonan who said he would establish a destiny for all people? What happened?"

"Ask me, I know."

"Then tell me, if you lie to me, I will beat the crap out of you."

"I heard that Prince Su was assassinated, and now these people are catching the assassin."

"No, I'm a clerk at the cloth store owned by the prince. The manager told me that someone stole something from the prince's house."

"No, no, no, you are all wrong. It's because Prince Su is coming to our Jin'an County, and those people are going to clear the place. Tsk, tsk, tsk, the pomp is bigger than the emperor."

"You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. If this kind of thing is known to others, you can't eat it and walk around in circles. Don't think that I am a mediocre person and want to trick me into being unlucky with you. Eat

I am awesome and punch someone."

"Old Niu, I didn't expect you to be smart enough to know which ones are true and which ones are false."

"I will take this person to present him to the government first. We have regulations in Daxia. If you catch a craftsman, you can receive five hundred taels of silver from the government."

"Hiss, why are you suddenly interested in the affairs of the Shonan Prince's Palace? It turns out that this is your idea. If you meet someone, let's go together."

"But having said that, will such a big movement in the Shonan Prince's Palace affect us ordinary people?"

"How is it possible? You haven't heard what Prince Su said, people-oriented, we are the people."

"Hey, why are you all gone?"

"Only a fool would keep it. Prince Su is here, so we can't take the eldest daughter of the family out for a walk."

"Fuck, breeding!"

"..."

In a nearby wine shop, six people gathered around a table and drank rice wine. Ling Qingqiu turned his attention away from the crowd.

Ling Qingqiu, who was wearing casual clothes, drank all the rice wine in the bottle. Several teammates looked panicked and subconsciously wanted to run away.

"Don't worry, it's just some sweet wine."

Lin Ping, the youngest of them, Inspector Lin Ping of the Monster Hunting Division, asked: "Captain... no, we are arresting the head now. Chief, do you think this recent case is related to the prince?"

The patrolmen were puzzled. They had been listening to the chats of people from Jin'an County, but could not find any relevant clues.

Ling Qingqiu frowned and stood up to pay, his graceful figure well hidden by the large cloak.

"Don't think too much. The man just said that he caught a spy. It may be related to the case. Maybe the Prince of Southern Hunan is here for this matter."

Ling Qingqiu had reason to believe that someone like Su Ye, who wanted to kill half-demon even if his reputation was damaged, would not come to the less prosperous Jin'an County for no reason.

…

Jin'an County was not originally called Jin'an County. It was only when the founding of the Xia Dynasty that this place was the fiefdom of the Marquis of Jin'an County, so it was renamed Jin'an County. Later, the fiefdom of the Marquis of Jin'an County was canceled and the county was directly controlled by the imperial court.

It has not been changed back to the original Fulin County, and the name Jin'an County is still used.

Jin'an County is located in a small basin among the mountains. It has been easy to defend but difficult to attack since ancient times. The difficulty is that it is not cost-effective to attack.

A group of troops drove out of the mountains and followed the official road to Jin'an County.

Pedestrians on the roadside saw this luxurious team and couldn't help but wonder who the big shot was coming to their small place.

Su Ye rode a strange horse with a black tail on the snow. After staying in the carriage for a long time, he felt bored. From here, he could vaguely see the outline of Jin'an County and the not-so-high city wall.

"Xiao Ruo, you'll be here soon."

"But I'm a little curious."

Su Ye slowed down and kept pace with the carriage. After seeing this, Ah Fu concentrated his attention on not letting the sudden acceleration of the unicorn horse scare the prince.

"Xiao Ruo, you are in Jin'an County, so far away from Chang'an City. How did you come to the palace?"

Su Ye was very curious. Jin'an County is surrounded by mountains and there is only one official road leading directly to the outside world. How did Xiaoruo come to Chang'an? Even if his parents are deceased, he shouldn't.

In Su Ye's memory, Xiaoruo was by his side when he was very young.

Xiao Ruo poked his head out of the small window of the carriage: "Xiao Ruo doesn't remember. I only know that when I woke up, it was the princess who returned to the palace with Xiao Ruo in her arms."

That's it...

Su Ye continued to ask: "Xiao Ruo, do you still remember where your previous home was?"

Xiao Ruo nodded: "I know, but the princess told Xiao Ruo that it had been sold to a local businessman by Xiao Ruo's distant uncle."

There seemed to be a lot of flaws here. Su Ye didn't plan to ask any more questions. He could just take back the things that belonged to Xiao Ruo.

"Your Majesty, when we get to the city, can Xiao Ruo go to her hometown to have a look first? If the ginkgo tree in the yard is still there, Xiao Ruo wants to buy it and take it back." Xiao Ruo continued: "That ginkgo tree is Xiao Ruo's.

When Xiao Ruo was born, his father planted it and said that when Xiao Ruo grows up, he will have fruit to eat."

Su Ye nodded: "Let's go together."

…

Half an hour later, they finally entered Jin'an County.

Jin'an County is neither rich in minerals nor prosperous. If it were not of great significance to Xiaoruo, it would be a place that would be difficult for Su Ye to set foot in.

As soon as they entered the city, they were greeted by the steward of the royal estate in Jin'an County. The steward had just been promoted not long ago. He understood what kind of person the prince was. After receiving the news, he waited at the city gate early in the morning.

The county captain of Jin'an County who stayed with him.

"It's really an honor for the local people that your Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes to Jin'an County." The county lieutenant greeted him.

It was my first time here. Although some of my own people were there, Su Ye knew very well about local snakes. He smiled and replied: "No, this is my first time in this precious land. I still need a lot of help from you, the county captain."

"His Royal Highness, just tell me what you have to say, and I promise to take care of it."

"Do you know where Taoli Lane is? There is a house where one of my old friends once lived." Su Ye said, it was not appropriate for him to talk to the businessman.

The owner changed, and I guess he wasn't a good person.

"Taoli Lane, the villain naturally knows about it." The county captain said flatteringly: "His Royal Highness is busy with life, so I leave this kind of trivial matter to the villain. The county magistrate is preparing to take care of His Highness, and please move on."

"Can."

The county lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief. The Prince of Southern Hunan, who was on good terms with the prince, was not someone to be despised. Fortunately, he was not as bad as the rumors said.

He summoned several government servants to draw all the images of Taoli Lane. After the drawing was completed, he presented it to Prince Su so that he could see where his old friend's house was. Then he used his meager efforts to buy it and give it to His Highness the Prince.

The place where the county magistrate gave Su Ye a cleansing house was in the house behind the county government office. Su Ye arrived at the gate of the county government office and ordered Ah Fu to take the craftsmen to repair the road in front of Xiao Ruo's parents' tomb, and then walked into this place.

Among the yamen.

After entering the Yamen, before he could follow the lead of the county captain to the back house, he saw an unexpected person.

Ling Qingqiu was crossing his arms and watching with cold eyes the government officials interrogating a person in the lobby.

Su Ye was a little curious, did Chang'an's Anti-Monster Division control the territory so far away? Even Jin'an County, which was thousands of miles away, fell under the jurisdiction of Chang'an's Anti-Monster Division.

Seeing Su Ye stop, the county lieutenant followed his gaze and said, "Your Highness, those adults from the Demon Hunting Department are acquaintances of yours."

That's right... Su Ye nodded.

"Then I invite a few of you to join us. His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't mind." The county lieutenant thought in his mind that selling Crown Prince Su and the Demon Detective Division a favor would be a win-win-win situation.

Su Ye nodded in agreement. He still had a profound impact on Ling Qingqiu.

Ling Qingqiu looked at the government servant who came to invite him and others. He looked back in confusion and saw Su Ye standing in the distance, smiling.

"Long time no see, Inspector Ling."

ps: Please follow up. Today's follow up is very important. As for why you and I updated at night, I haven't thought of an excuse yet, although you didn't ask either.
