762 Reputation
“Impudent!” As soon as Lin yuelan finished speaking, guard Qi immediately shouted in anger.
Guard Qi’s angry shout finally attracted the attention of the surrounding people.
Jiang Zhennan immediately assumed a ‘protective’ posture and stood beside Lin yuelan. His sharp eyes were fixed on guard Qi as he said coldly, “So the Third prince can steal from someone but doesn’t allow others to speak about it? ”
As soon as Jiang Zhennan said this, someone immediately exclaimed, ” ah, third Prince? Isn’t that the third Prince?”
“Eh, the third Prince is snatching other people’s things? What is this?”
“Shh! Haven’t you heard of it? I heard that during the auction at Guang ju Yuan some time ago, this third Prince announced his name and was the first to bid.”
“Eh, what’s wrong with being the first to bid? Isn’t that normal? ” someone asked, confused.
“Shh, how is it normal?” Someone whispered understandingly, “He’s a Prince. If he asks for something, who would dare to snatch it from him? ”
“Mm, that’s true!” This person immediately echoed, ” after he’s the first to bid, the rest won’t dare to bid anymore. Then, he can buy the item at the lowest price.”
However, there were still people who asked doubtfully, ” but he’s the Prince. Even if he’s the first to bid, it’s still a fair competition, right? This can’t be considered robbing?”
“Tsk!” someone immediately rolled his eyes and said, ” he clearly knows his status as a prince, yet he still shows off at the auction. Who doesn’t know his purpose? Isn’t he just using his status and power to make people fear him and hand over the item?
“If he really wanted to compete fairly from the start, he should have concealed his identity like the other guests before participating in the bidding!”
“That’s reasonable!”
“However, a few of the guests in the private rooms, with unknown identities, actually dared to compete with the third prince. In the end, it was said that the thousand-year-old ginseng was sold for a high price of five million taels, and the third Prince missed it by a hair’s breadth. I wonder who was the one who made such a big move?”
…
It was impossible to hide the fierce competition at the auction house. It spread from the upper layer to the lower layer, and then from one to ten, ten to a hundred, and then to the common people.
In an instant, the third Prince’s image changed from a gentle and elegant young master to a violent Prince who used his power to bully others.
Yuwen feiye’s face darkened when he heard the crowd’s discussion. A moment later, his face turned livid with rage. He gritted his teeth and said, “These ignorant peasants!”
However, he had to endure this great anger.
Ever since he came to Qingfeng city, everything had gone wrong. He couldn’t find the milkvetch flower, the thousand-year-old ginseng was taken away, and the broken souls Pavilion was destroyed. Even his reputation had taken a dive.
If he didn’t want his reputation to be ruined, he had to endure all the criticism, accusations, and insults.
However…
“Shut up!” Guard Qi shouted angrily, ” How dare you! How dare you criticize His Highness?”
The surrounding crowd’s faces immediately turned pale with fear. They kowtowed in unison and said, “Please spare our lives, Your Highness! Please spare our lives!”
The crowd knelt down, kowtowed, and shouted, ” Your Highness, please spare our lives!” This caused a chain reaction. The people behind him also knelt down and shouted, ” Your Highness, please spare me!
Very quickly, the people surrounding Qingzhou Lake all knelt in this direction, including the people on the boats in the lake.
It was as if the emperor himself had arrived.
The only people who didn’t kneel down and stood out in the crowd were Jiang Zhennan, Lin yuelan, and Liu Yichen.
The three of them looked around. Jiang Zhennan’s mouth directly held a sneer, and he said with some sarcasm and mockery, ” Third Prince, what a great show! I’m sure your majesty wouldn’t receive such a great welcome even if he were here.”
When Guard Qi heard Jiang Zhennan’s sarcastic words, he immediately pointed at Jiang Zhennan and shouted angrily again, “Impudence!”
Jiang Zhennan’s face was cold as he said coldly, “Can you say something else other than the impudence? Besides, I’m telling the truth, aren’t I?”
Guard Qi was speechless for a moment. His face turned red, and he did not know how to continue.
Just as he was about to continue…
“Enough!” Yuwen Feiye’s face darkened as he yelled at guard Qi, ” I think you’re the impudent one!
Guard Qi immediately knelt down and said in a panic, ” Your Highness, please calm down!”
Yuwen feiye took a deep breath and composed himself. Then, he changed his expression to a gentle smile and said to the kneeling people, ” everyone, please rise! I am only going on a private visit. There is no need to stir up trouble! Just now, my subordinate was just anxious to protect his master and was a little angry. Please don’t take offense!”
He didn’t hesitate to lower his own status and flatter these lowly people just to change his already terrible reputation.
Otherwise, if this kind of negative reputation were to spread to the capital and to his father’s ears, it would be extremely disadvantageous to him.
However, it had to be said that Yuwen Feiye’s words had a pretty good effect.
When these people heard Yuwen Feiye calling them up, they looked at each other and did not dare to stand up.
Yuwen Feiye’s eyes flashed. “rise!” he said.
After that, these people stood up in a scattered manner. When they looked up and saw the smile on Yuwen feiye’s face, they were all relieved. Then, they stood up.
Yuwen Feiye saw that everyone had stood up and said, ” this Prince is here incognito. Everyone, please carry on as usual. I will have a chat with a few friends.” These words were said very affectionately, and they gave people a good impression.
Therefore, very quickly, some people began to discuss it in private again.
“This third Prince is clearly so amiable and friendly. How could he be bullying people?”
“That’s right. Rumors really can’t be trusted!”
“Look, the third Prince’s tone is so friendly. However, this subordinate of his seems to be a little arrogant. Maybe he was the one bullying others?”
“Do you guys think that the rumors of the third Prince using his power to bully others were ruined by this subordinate?”
…
Very quickly, the blame was thrown on guard Qi.
However, guard qi had no choice but to accept.
To Yuwen feiye, it did not matter who was going to be the scapegoat. As long as it could change his reputation, it was fine. He wouldn’t mind throwing Guard Qi under the bus.
It was the crisp sound of a clap, and then a voice said, ” Your Highness, well done!”
