Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 200 - Time Is Not up

Xuanzhi Mansion stood three steps away from the bed. He bowed and asked respectfully, “Your Highness, how do you feel?”

“Cough, cough …” “He won't die …” Teng Yu's face turned white, his arms and legs were covered with bandages, and traces of red blood stood out on the white bandages.

Xuanzhi Mansion only glanced at him and hurriedly lowered his head. His heart was in a mess, he wished that he could capture the murderer!

“Your Highness, please forgive me. Recently, this official has been busy investigating the real culprit behind the sale of salt, and was unable to detect the culprit for a while. This official will send someone to investigate this matter!”

“Oh? “How is the investigation on the private salt going?” Teng Yu asked lazily.

“This… “Three days are not up …”

Teng Yu waved his hand, “Alright, then go back to your work, there's no need for you to come here, come back tomorrow!”

“Yes, yes!” Xuanzhi Mansion didn't know why either. Standing in this room like a thorn in the back, it was hard to ignore the line of sight behind him.

When they walked out of the elegant garden, Xuanzhi Mansion let out a heavy sigh. He turned around and looked at the exquisite garden, and his eyes became cold.

It seemed that the Third Prince would not let this matter rest, and he should make the decision as soon as possible.

Yin Xu carried a bowl of medicine into the room, and after closing the door, he casually placed the medicine bowl on the table and walked over to the bedside.

“Alright, stop pretending, hurry up and get up!”

Teng Yu ripped off the bandages on his body and sat up straight like a fish. He pulled Yin Xu into his embrace and kissed him, “Your expression just now was like that of a dead husband.

Yin Xu was too lazy to argue with him, “From tomorrow onwards, we will have to be on high alert. Do you think we should chase away the servants in the elegant garden first?” Most of them were spies from other families, so there was no reason for them to guard against thieves even if they were a thousand years old.

Teng Yu thought for a moment, then shook his head: “No need, it's easy to alert the snake with the grass, as long as we send reliable people to guard the two gates, those servants will stay in the front courtyard, I think they won't be able to do anything.”

The corner of Yin Xu's mouth twitched, and revealed a sinister smile. “Alright, if they dare make a move, then I'll make sure that they won't be able to leave this garden for the rest of their lives.”

“Snap …” There was a knock on the door.

“It should be the delivery of food.” Yin Xu pushed Teng Yu onto the bed, covered him with a blanket, and then, he went to open the door.

The one who came was Han Qing, holding onto a box, followed by two attendant who were carrying a bucket of water.

“Come in …” “Put the water aside first. Go out and clean up the room next door. This young master will be sleeping there for a few days.”

“Yes, your servant will go now.”

After the two of them left, Teng Yu frowned and asked: “You want to sleep next door?”

“Of course, you're injured.” Yin Xu said confidently.

Teng Yu snorted, “No one knows if you're going or not!”

“Be careful not to cause the ship to sail for ten thousand years!”

Han Qing ignored them and took out the dishes. Because he was using the name of Teng Yu being injured, the food was light and light, so Yin Xu did not object. However, Teng Yu gave him a glare.

“Can't you cook in the name of what Seventh Young Master wants to eat?”

Han Qing replied expressionlessly: “Everyone in the kitchen knows that Seventh Young Master only likes pastries.”

He pointed to the plates on the table, which contained some of the new tricks that the kitchen had created over the past two days. It seemed that even if the two Masters weren't there, they would still try their best.

“Reward!” Teng Yu said a single word, then lifted his clothes and sat down.

Yin Xu took a piece of pastry from the plate and tasted it. He found that it was indeed not bad, and did not mention anything about Teng Yu constantly giving out rewards.

During the night, a small side door of the Prefectural Governoment courtyard quietly opened. A head peeked out, looked around, and then shrank back. Immediately after, a few guards surrounded a fat man and walked out.

“Master, please get on the palanquin!”

The palanquin quickly disappeared into the alley. Not long later, two black shadows flew in two different directions.

The sedan moved through the streets for an hour before finally coming to a halt outside an inconspicuous courtyard.

Xuanzhi Mansion got off the palanquin and hurriedly walked into the courtyard. There were already people waiting at the entrance, they immediately came to welcome him when they saw him.

“Lord …” “Lord, you're finally here.”

“Master Mu, how should we explain this?”

The people in the room all stood up when they saw Xuanzhi Mansion. If Teng Yu was here, he would definitely know all of them.

“What's the hurry? The reason I called everyone here is to discuss countermeasures. ” Xuanzhi Mansion sat down and drank a cup of tea, then told Yue Yang about how Third Prince was injured while at sea.

“Who did it? “I said not to attack first. Even if you wanted to, you have to do it cleanly. How do you want me to solve this case?”

“Don't be anxious, my lord. First, find someone to take responsibility. Third Prince can't stay here for his entire life. As long as we delay him until the emperor lose his patience, he won't be able to stay here any longer.” A middle-aged man wearing a dark blue brocade robe said.

“Humph, it's easy!” If we can't even handle one Third Prince, the next one will be even harder to deal with. “

“Head Xiao, what ideas do you have?” the middle-aged man asked mockingly.

“There's nothing that doesn't make sense. It's just that if we don't get rid of the trauma in front of us, what important matter will we discuss in the future?”

“On the other hand, this official only wants to earn some money. There is no need to risk the lives of a family.” Some people evidently did not agree to go against the Third Prince.

“Sir Su, do you think this is something that you can decide?” As long as you get a bit of evidence from Third Prince, you will be caught off guard sooner or later. Do you think you can stay out of this mess? “

These words caused everyone in the room to turn silent. Not long after, Boss Xiao suddenly spoke: “But then again, this matter could have been avoided.” He glanced at the position of the Xuanzhi Mansion, the meaning was obvious.

The reason why Third Prince had captured evidence was entirely because he was greedy. It was clear that Xuanzhi Mansion did not want to bear the consequences alone.

With this sentence, the scene became even more awkward. The Xuanzhi Mansion was slightly angered and frowned: “Is Head Xiao blaming me? I don't want to eat alone. Since when have profits not been divided according to the terms of the agreement? However, since this matter has already arisen, there is no point in pursuing this matter any further. Everyone, let's talk about what to do. “

He was not afraid at all when he saw that the positions in the Xuanzhi Mansion were the highest. He was certain that these people did not dare not to act.

“Then what does Lord Mu want to do?”

“To find a reliable scapegoat, of course.” He stroked the mustache on his lips as he smiled sinisterly.

“To whom?” Everyone looked at each other. They were all a bit worried that they would become the one that was abandoned, but no one wanted them to become the miserable one.

“Haha, no need to worry, I've already thought of a good candidate. However, there are some matters that I need everyone's help with.”

“Sire, please speak.”

Xuanzhi Mansion wrote a name on the table, causing everyone to look up, their mouths expressing their satisfaction.

“It is indeed appropriate to look for him, but how can I make Third Prince believe that he is a salt trafficker?”

Xuanzhi Mansion said: “This will depend on everyone's help. As long as we can find a way to hide a fake account book in his study and buy off a few servants in his residence, do we really need to be afraid that Third Prince will not believe us?”

Everyone laughed in a low voice, “You are indeed wise, Master Mu. Not only did you solve the problem, you even solved a stumbling block for everyone. How great!”

“But what if Third Prince finds out that the account book is fake? We cannot underestimate this prince anymore. “

“Then… Another step, what does the Third Prince care the most? If we let him have his reservations, and if he doesn't want to stay in Yunjin City any longer, who knows, maybe he will just want to leave after getting the evidence. “

“You mean …” Seventh Young Master Huo? “

“This, Seventh Young Master is not easy to deal with at all. Furthermore, the entire Huo Family is behind him, do you really dare?” Lord Su did not look good anymore. He was born timid. When he joined these people, on one hand, it was due to the temptation of money. On the other hand, he accidentally bumped into something he should not have seen, and was forced into a corner.

“This is indeed troublesome, but we do not want the life of the Seventh Young Master. As long as we can pose a threat to the Third Prince, then this matter … I think it's most suitable for Lord Xiao to take action. “

Manager Xiao glanced at Xuanzhi Mansion and asked, “What do you mean by that, milord?”

The Xuanzhi Mansion smiled as he narrowed his eyes, “The Xiao Clan leader has a wide range of friends, and he even knows a lot of people in the martial arts world. This is something that we cannot compare with.”

The Xiao family's head thought over the matter and finally agreed. However, no one realized that there was a moment of malice in the expression of the Xiao family's head when he agreed.

When they reached an agreement, everyone left the courtyard, but all the people who came out were remembered by the Dark Guard.

Teng Yu didn't feel that there was any difference when he heard this news the next morning, he only felt that it was a little regretful. “It seems that this Mu fellow must have some brains since he was able to sit in this position, but he actually thought of a plan to kill two birds with one stone.”

Yin Xu laughed at him, “You can't just watch a dog eat dog, can you?”

“Who said that?” Teng Yu tapped his head, “Just you wait, the weather hasn't arrived yet.”
