Chapter 344 Helpless
Chapter 344 Helpless
boom!
There was another loud noise, and even the children were startled and cried for their relatives.
Yu Tingwan felt relieved when she saw the crowd finally calm down.
"Why, we're still sitting here, and you guys are making a fuss?"
In an instant, all these angry people became embarrassed.
They also remembered that it was they who were instigated by this group of people, which led to the injury of the princess's brother. Now, just a few words made them angry again.
Not only that, they almost got into a fight in front of the prince and princess.
This made them even more embarrassed.
Yu Tingwan ignored them and looked at the group kneeling on the ground with a weird smile on his lips.
"You... accepted the job, so you should know the consequences of failure, right?"
The consequences of failure?
The people kneeling on the ground were all confused and shook their heads.
How could they know what the consequences would be? They just thought that this kind of thing was just spreading rumors and inciting people, so what consequences could it have?
When chaos breaks out, no one will be able to find them.
But they didn't expect that they would fail here. They were interrogated one by one, and any guilty look was discovered!
Now they were told about the consequences, and they became even more panicked.
Seeing them like this, Yu Tingwan smiled slightly, asked people to manually close the eyes of all the children in the crowd, and then took out his pistol.
Just as he aimed at someone, he heard Song Shixu running towards him.
"Princess, let me do it, these bastards, don't dirty your hands."
After saying that, Song Shixu directly took out his treasured pistol from the cloth bag, opened a layer of cotton handkerchief, and then lifted up a layer of gold silk handkerchief, only then did he reveal the pistol inside.
Yu Tingwan's mouth twitched as he watched him do this.
Is it really that serious? The bag is so thick, what should I do if I need it urgently?
Song Shixu looked at his pistol and bullets again and again, and felt a little pain in his heart.
Otherwise, he could use a bow and arrow. With so few people like him, they were not worthy of such a powerful weapon.
Seeing him hesitate, Yu Tingwan instantly understood what he was thinking, and speechless state filled her mind.
"Go ahead and shoot. I'll give you a better one when we get back."
Hearing this, Song Shixu turned around with surprise in his eyes. He looked at Yu Tingwan excitedly and said:
"Really, princess? Don't lie to me. Can you really give me another one? Or is it better than this?"
Seeing Yu Tingwan nod, Song Shixu was instantly excited. He turned around and made a few loud bangs, leaving a hole on the heads of those troublemakers!
“Ahhh…”
Some disobedient children saw this scene and instantly screamed in fear. Even the adults could not bear it.
Everyone looked at Yu Tingwan and Song Shixu with fear on their faces, but the two of them acted as if nothing had happened and didn't care at all.
After the matter was settled, Yu Tingwan stood up and looked at all the people, saying without warmth:
"Remember, just because the prince is kind doesn't mean I am kind. I can ignore your ignorance, but this is only once. If this happens again, I will never tolerate it!"
After saying that, Yu Tingwan turned around and left the place.
But Shen Chenli did not leave. He looked at everyone and said:
"The princess is very clear about right and wrong. Even if you made a mistake, she didn't implicate you. Think about it carefully. Who do you think did this to get you here and have a house to live in and food to eat? Was it me?"
Seeing the same expression on everyone's face, Shen Chenli sneered.
“This king originally had no intention of taking care of you. It was the princess who worked day and night to draw the design. The place you live in now and the work you do now are not only for the border, but also the city designed by the princess for you, just to let you live well at the border!
For these, she took out all the money she earned to buy food for you, find cotton-padded clothes for you, and design a place for you to live. Fearing that you would feel cold in the future, she also designed a house with a kang so that you could live well in the winter.
But what about you? You only saw her angry side, but never thought about who brought all this to you! I feel guilty for protecting a group of people like this, and I feel guilty towards the princess. Do you deserve the princess's dedication to you? "
Shen Chenli's words shocked all the people and they were speechless for a long time.
At some point, Shen Chenli left, and even the soldiers around him left.
At this time, everyone reacted. Some of the emotional ones even had tears in their eyes, while others slapped themselves in the face again and again, cursing themselves harshly.
"I am not a human being. I deserve to die. I even cursed the prince and princess. I am really nothing!"
"Me too, I deserve to die, I am sorry to the princess!"
Some women even cried uncontrollably and were too ashamed to face anyone.
"Wuwuwuwu! I just thought the princess was cruel and that I deserved to die. If it weren't for the princess, I would have died long ago!"
"What's so cruel about that? Is that how you should act like a princess when facing someone who wants to hurt you and your family?"
One person cursed those people harshly and spat on himself.
Liu Tianhe looked at the distance where there was no shadow, and waved helplessly to everyone.
"Alright, the prince and princess are being lenient with us by not pursuing us. Otherwise, we would have been in big trouble just because of the trouble. You should be more alert in the future and don't believe everything you hear. Although what the princess did today seemed cruel, she was also angry at those people. If someone hurts your wife, son, and daughter, wouldn't you want to kill them?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded, indicating that they did not misunderstand the princess, and they did not think the princess was cruel.
Liu Tianhe looked at them with satisfaction.
"That's good. Let's work hard in the future. Didn't the prince say that we also have a share of these cities and houses? What's more, we will get paid, which is not less than what we did before. Let's all work hard and strive to build the city as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
All of a sudden, everyone was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. From then on, this group of people worked with all their strength. Some of them even spontaneously brought water and food to the soldiers nearby. They also killed an old hen and gathered a basket of eggs to send to Jiang Qingyan.
No matter how angry Yu Tingwan was, he was still helpless because of this group of people.
"These are the people we protect. Aren't they cute?"
Yu Tingwan glanced at Shen Chenli and sighed softly.
"Yeah, what can we do? We can only be thankful that my cousin only suffered minor injuries. If not... I really can't explain to my uncle and aunt, and I don't know what I would do!"
Hearing this, Shen Chenli patted Yu Tingwan's shoulder gently. He understood that this was their helplessness.
