Chapter 399 The Final Male Slave
Ji Yunxie just stretched his head out of curiosity to take a look, and he didn't know what he saw, and his eyes widened with fear.
He suddenly turned his head and buried it in Di Ran's arms, his pale hands around Di Ran's waist, trembling with fear.
"A Yue~"
Di Ran looked down at him and said with a smile: "It's just a dead person, what's there to be afraid of?"
Although he said this, he placed his hand on Ji Yunxie's back and patted it gently, speaking softly.
"Be good, don't be afraid."
Ji Yunxie hugged Di Ran's waist and didn't dare to turn around. He said in a trembling voice: "Ayue, that person..."
"That person seems to be the male slave at the auction the day before yesterday."
He remembered that he took a look at that time, because the man was good-looking and left some impression on him, so he recognized him at first sight.
But he...how did he die?
After hearing Ji Yunxie's words, Di Ran narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up at the corpse lying on the grass.
The dead boy was still wearing the same white clothes he had worn at the auction. His face was as pale as paper, his lips were purple, and his entire body was slightly swollen from being soaked in water. However, he could still be recognized as the male slave at the auction.
Di Ran frowned slightly.
Du Mingying, who came to watch the fun, also heard Ji Yunxie's words and was stunned.
"Do you know the deceased?"
The man in blue clothes beside him said, "The master attended an auction the other day, and this man was the top male slave at the auction."
The people who were nearby were originally surprised that this group of people actually knew the deceased, but after hearing Qingyi's explanation, they suddenly realized what was going on.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd slapped his head and cried out in surprise.
"I remember now. Yes, I was wondering why it looked familiar."
The person who said this was a sturdy woman with a coarse cloth around her waist and a butcher knife in her hand.
This person is a butcher, and all the neighbors nearby know her.
When they heard her words, everyone asked.
"Shen Sanniang, do you also know someone who died?"
The butcher Shen Sanniang chuckled and said, "I know him. Of course I know him. I went to the auction with my cousin. He is the handsome young man."
"You didn't see it. That young man is so handsome, as beautiful as a fairy. For him, the people present spent a lot of money."
Everyone asked curiously: "What happened next?" "What happened next?"
"I heard that a nobleman bought the person."
"Noble? What noble?"
Hearing everyone's curiosity, Shen Sanniang bent down mysteriously and whispered like a thief.
"I heard it was Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Upon hearing this, the people present were immediately furious.
"what?!"
"Too... too girly?"
"Shen Sanniang, you are not trying to scare us, are you? The princess is such an important figure, why would she come to our Anyang City?"
"That's right, the princess came to our place, how come there is no news at all?"
"Isn't it said that this princess is cruel and inhumane, and likes to show off wherever she goes, robbing people's land and occupying people's houses?"
"Shh!"
"You're not going to live anymore! How dare you say such a thing? If that cruel princess hears you, you'll be in trouble!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sinister voice suddenly rang out.
"What can't be heard by this lady?"
Suddenly, a path was pushed open in the crowd, and a woman wearing bright yellow clothes embroidered with dragon patterns and a golden crown on her head walked slowly towards them.
The gentle footsteps seemed to step on everyone's hearts, making them tremble with fear.
Who in this dynasty dares to wear clothing with dragons on it? It seems that the person wearing it is obviously not an empress. Who else could it be except the princess of this dynasty?
When the people saw the coming people, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their eyes widened in panic.
"Your Highness?"
I've heard of the cruel reputation of the current crown princess. Now I've been caught saying bad things about her behind her back. How can I not be terrified?
The timid ones were shaking like sieves, their faces turned pale with cold sweat on their foreheads.
