Chapter 105: Knowing the Crown Prince's Identity

Jiang Jinshi also used his ruthless decisiveness to tell the people of Da Jiang Cun: do not think that just because you are from the same village as me, I won't do anything to you.

Why was it not the mountain bandits who joined earlier who leaked the secrets, but the people from Da Jiang Cun who joined later? He believed some people held the thought that since they were from the same village, he would be much more lenient toward them.

Therefore, he had to break such thoughts and let everyone be steady, instead of always having the illusion that they were a cut above other mountain bandits.

After Jiang Jinshi left, Li Feng couldn't help but sit on the ground and cry loudly. The others could only stare, unable to even say any words of comfort.

This time, Jiang Jinshi's actions truly created a sense of crisis among these men. They really had to control their mouths; otherwise, there was no sentiment to speak of with Jiang Jinshi.

The key was that Jiang Jinshi was right. Since they joined Yangguangzhai, apart from helping to move things when they robbed Jiangcheng, they hadn't done anything else. Instead, their whole families were eating and drinking non-stop. What merit or hard work could they speak of?!

"What should I do about my parents and children?" It wasn't that Li Feng didn't know what the situation was outside. Now that he had left Yangguangzhai, he didn't even dare to imagine what awaited him.

Jiang Cai comforted him: "The Big Boss said you can receive a portion of your monthly wages. With this money, you won't starve to death in the short term. Take the opportunity to find a job!"

Afterward, Jiang Cai personally took Li Feng back to the mountain stronghold. On the surface, it was to soothe the other party's emotions, but in reality, he was afraid the other party would cause trouble back at the stronghold.

Even though he knew Li Feng couldn't stir up any trouble at the stronghold, he was worried that Li Feng might have a vengeful mentality before leaving. He could only feel at ease if he watched him personally.

"Why don't we go ask Little Sister! The family really has no other way!"

At this moment in Liu Family Village, Jiang Jinshi's uncle's family was sitting together, and even the grandparents were there. The one speaking was Jiang Jinshi's eldest aunt.

Jiang Jinshi's eldest uncle spoke with sarcasm: "In the past, when I sent some food to Little Sister, you would call her a jinx and a freeloader. Today, you're actually calling for Little Sister!"

The eldest aunt's face turned ugly, and just as she was about to have a row with the eldest uncle, the few people beside her advised: "Enough, stop arguing. Save some energy; you'll be hungry again in a while."

"This is not a solution after all... Forget it, I, an old man, will thicken my face and go borrow some grain from Xiao Yu."

Jiang Jinshi's grandfather also knew that other families were having a hard time right now, so they definitely wouldn't be able to borrow grain. Only by going to Liu Yu was there some hope.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Eldest Uncle, Grandfather, are you home?"

At this moment, a voice sounded outside the door. Hearing the voice, it actually sounded like Jiang Jinshi's, making the people in the room think for a moment that they were hallucinating.

"Eh! We're here, we're here!" The second uncle reacted the fastest and hurriedly got up to open the door for Jiang Jinshi.

Jiang Jinshi looked at the room full of 'acquaintances'. In fact, he felt a bit awkward inside. Mainly, the original owner had little interaction with them, and his impression was not deep, but he had to pretend to be very familiar.

If it weren't for taking care of his mother's emotions, he wouldn't have come here today.

Following everyone's exchange of pleasantries, Jiang Jinshi stated the purpose of his visit today. He took ten taels of silver and placed them on the table, saying: "I came this time to ask my two uncles to help me see which people in Liu Family Village have good character, so they can come work for me. The treatment will be the same as the people in Da Jiang Cun."

The two uncles immediately patted their chests to guarantee they would complete the task, but they refused to accept the silver, saying it was really too much.

Finally, after the two sides pushed back and forth, the two uncles were willing to accept the silver.

Having achieved his goal, Jiang Jinshi hurriedly took Wei Xikang and ran off, wandering around Liu Family Village.

"Do you think that when the harvest is good, everyone can eat their fill?" Jiang Jinshi pointed to the crops in the fields that had long since withered and died.

"Naturally!" Wei Xikang nodded without hesitation.

Jiang Jinshi wore a sarcastic smile, "Even for a family of five, they have to save on food after paying taxes in previous years, let alone in this current scene!"

"So, are you trying to tell me that you are a good person?" Wei Xikang stopped in his tracks, his eyes filled with doubt as he looked at Jiang Jinshi.

"Hahaha! Quite the opposite. What I want to tell you is that only bad people can survive in such a situation." After Jiang Jinshi answered with a laugh, he suddenly said, "Since I answered your question, you answer one of mine too!"

"Just say it!" Wei Xikang didn't agree directly, letting Jiang Jinshi state the question first.

"Who exactly are you? What is your purpose in coming to Beijiang?"

Once these words were out, Wei Xikang understood that the other party must have discovered the true face of the Imperial Seal; otherwise, he wouldn't ask such a question.

After all, he didn't have a single valuable item on him, and Jiang Jinshi's questioning must have come from discovering clues on the Imperial Seal he had taken.

"I can only tell you that I came here fleeing from disaster." Wei Xikang replied, which counted as a response to Jiang Jinshi.

Seeing that the other party still refused to reveal his identity, Jiang Jinshi didn't force it. In any case, he wouldn't let him leave the stronghold for the time being.

He had thought about using the other party's 'saintly' heart to play the emotional card and extract some valuable information, but he hadn't expected to waste a whole day for nothing.

But who would have thought that as soon as he returned to the stronghold, Li Xinyue would rush to find him, and the first thing she said was earth-shattering news.

"Do you know who that person is? The Crown Prince of the Da Qian Dynasty!"

Jiang Jinshi looked at Li Xinyue with a confused face. I spent a whole day with him and couldn't get a word out of him; how do you know? It can't be the system again, right?

Li Xinyue took out the Imperial Seal and pointed to Yu Heng not far away: "He told me!"

Yu Heng walked over with a swaggering gait and said with pride: "I saw His Highness the Crown Prince a few times when I was in the palace, but I really didn't recognize him in his state a few days ago. However, I do recognize this Imperial Seal."

It turned out that when Li Xinyue was bored, she was playing with the Imperial Seal. Just then, Xiao Lizi brought Yu Heng to find her, and Yu Heng recognized the Imperial Seal.

After an exchange between the few, the celestial phenomena that the Yuan Lineage of Divination and Calculation had seen were also fully disclosed by Yu Heng.

"So, the Emperor of the Da Qian Dynasty is dead?" Jiang Jinshi asked Yu Heng.

"Hmm! The Ziwei Star can no longer be seen." Yu Heng nodded very firmly.

"Then, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince fought internally, the Crown Prince failed, and for some reason, he ran to Beijiang, only to be captured and brought up the mountain by us in a daze!" Jiang Jinshi boldly speculated on the process.

"That should be correct!" This was not much different from what Yu Heng had guessed.

"Then his purpose in coming to Beijiang..."

Then Li Xinyue and Jiang Jinshi said in unison: "To find the Prince of Zhenbei!"

"This time, we definitely can't let him go!" Li Xinyue said in a deep voice. Currently, it seemed things weren't that bad; at least the Prince of Zhenbei shouldn't have received news that the Crown Prince had come to Beijiang.

A trace of killing intent flashed in Jiang Jinshi's eyes: "Since that's the case, why not just finish him off!" ===== CHAPTER 106 =====
