Transmigrating into a Big Villain in the Book

Chapter 84: A Fuddy-duddy Just As Lin Qingye

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Ke Ruan waved his hand. “Don’t say that, I’m totally fine. I came here just for investigating something. Stand up please and don’t worry, general.”

He really didn’t like these ancient formalities, like kneeling down frequently for nothing.

The General Long didn’t seemed to be quite young now, perhaps in his forties or fifties. Ke Ruan felt kind of embarrassed letting elders to kneel down in front of him.

General Long stood up and looked at Qi Cheng’s gang behind him with a murderous look in his eyes. “These people are bandit.”

In a certain tone, Ke Ruan was not afraid of being punished by the general in the next second.

As soon as Lin Qingye was about to say something, Ke Ruan took one step ahead and said, “I will deal with this matter. General, you don’t have to worry about it.”

They were ministers and had to follow the lord’s orders. Besides, under the protection of so many people, these mobs had no chance to do anything to the prince.

General Long replied in a low voice, “Yes!”

“Your Highness, please return to the palace immediately. His Majesty is really worried about Your Highness, so he ordered us to take you back as soon as we find you.”

Ke Ruan shook his head. “I have to wait for a few more days here for my own business.”

“This…” General Long looked troubled.

“Don’t say anything, I must take care of this matter. For my father, I will explain to him myself. Besides, General, you are here with so many people and still worried that you won’t be able to protect me?”

Si Yuhan smiled and thought that Ke Ruan was good at cajoling. Even he, a veteran, was already coaxed by him.

“This…”

“Just do it! Let’s get back to Yuliang County,” he need to handle the matter about the county magistrate.

“Your Highness,” General Long’s expression suddenly turned serious. Ke Ruan’s heart missed a beat and thought that he’s going to say no.

“What… what’s wrong?”

“Your Highness, you couldn’t call yourself like that.”

Ke Ruan was speechless.

He subconsciously looked at Lin Qingye. How could these people care so much about an address?

Seeming to have sensed Ke Ruan’s gaze, Lin Qingye felt nervous and shifted his gaze to the General. He intended to help Ke Ruan and said, “General Long, it is not convenient for Young Master to reveal his identity outside, so…”

The general seemed agreed with him and nodded,” indeed!”

Ke Ruan breathed a sigh of relief. If the general really wouldn’t let it go, he couldn’t just give him a lecture like he did to Lin Qingye.

Apart from Qi Cheng’s identity, Lin Qingye said all the thing to General Long on their way. After all, about his identity, it would be safer if less people knew it.

To Ke Ruan’s surprise, the general was resentful about what the county magistrate did as well and had to deal with Li Kan personally. With two generals’ help, Ke Ruan felt relaxed about this. What’s more, he had something more important to do.

When they arrived at the county, Lin Qingye and General Long immediately resolved Li Kan’s matter. Civilian in Liang County cheered and broke into rapturous applause. Such a greedy official was executed soon upon conviction, not deserved to wait.

General Long sent people to the capital city to inform His Majesty about what happened in Yuliang County. Soon, a new magistrate would be sent over, and the court would also monitor it from time to time.

His promise to Qi Cheng had finally been met. Although it was not all his charge, he did his bit, anyway.

Ke Ruan led Si Yuhan into the courier station. He had a mixed feeling to come here again, after experiencing so many life-or-death moments for the past few days.
