Yin Xu brought Ding Yi and Mao Er and leisurely walked on the streets of Yunjin City. This was the first time since he had entered the city that he was so focused on shopping.
Yunjin City was the most prosperous and prosperous city in Jiangnan. Yin Xu understood how correct this was after walking in a circle.
In the capital, he had seen many nobles and officials, and they were also very rich, having fine clothing and living arrangements. However, their Yunjin City was also not bad, and although the people here might not have such high status, they definitely did not have less money than an official. There were many shops on the streets, and all sorts of strange things to sell.
“Young master, we can't go any further. It's …”
“What's in front?” Yin Xu pushed away the Ding Yi in front of him and continued walking.
In fact, even without Ding Yi's answer, he knew that he had already smelled the strong scent of makeup and heard those vulgar ditties. He did not even need to ask to guess what kind of place it was.
He smiled and said: “I heard that the flower street of Yunjin City is also a dead end. As long as it's not a place where no man who has come to does not come, this young master will bring you guys to experience it.”
Ding Yi and Mao Er thought: Forget it, there are plenty of opportunities for them to go, but it would be hard to go with this master.
“It's getting late, His Highness is still waiting for you to go back, do you want to go with His Highness tonight?” If he dragged that master along, it would have nothing to do with him.
Mao Er was not stupid, he immediately added: “Yes, it is still early, and it is not yet the most lively time.”
Yin Xu shrugged, “Then let's go back.” However, these men and women who had fallen into poverty had nothing to do with him, so he was not really that interested.
The moment he turned around, Yin Xu discovered that not far away, two youths had entered an alley on both sides. The corners of his mouth hooked up, “Let's go, I accompanied them for an entire afternoon, it's about time I met them.”
From the moment they had walked out of the elegant garden onto the street, they had sensed that someone was following them. However, because they did not feel threatened, Yin Xu did not pay any attention to them.
Ding Yi and Mao Er understood and quickened their pace to catch up. Not long after, each of them carried a youth with them as they came out.
Yin Xu walked over, brought his people to a quiet corner, and casually set up a sound-isolating array.
“This big brother, why did you capture me? …” “I don't owe you any money nor am I interested in your woman …”
Ding Yi slapped the poor guy hard, “Shut up, where's all this talk coming from?”
He threw the person on the ground, stepped on his stomach and asked, “Now, I will give you a chance to tell me, who sent you here? “What is his purpose?”
“What are you talking about?” Who followed you? There are so many people on this road, could it be that everyone is a stalker? “
“Yo, you're pretty confident!” Ding Yi used more strength from his legs, causing the other party to scream miserably, but the sound was soon gone.
The other youngster only realized after a while that his opponent had stepped on him to death.
Ding Yi chuckled towards the corpse: “I already said I was giving you a chance, why don't you know how to grasp it properly, tsk.”
Mao Er used his leg to kick the other teenager who was scared silly, “It's your turn, you don't need me to ask anymore right?
The youngster let out a loud “wow” and started to drop the golden beans. As he cried, he shouted, “Murder!? “Killing, you bad guys, how dare you kill people in the streets …”
Yin Xu glanced at him in disgust and waved his hands, allowing Mao Er to finish him off.
“Master, shall I go down to check?”
“No need, there are too many people here who want to follow me. If you want to follow them, just follow them.” Although Yin Xu said that, but towards those who dared to follow him, they would not be lenient at all.
For the next few days, people in Yunjin City would occasionally receive reports of an incident. There would always be people who found a corpse or two in a corner of the city, causing the hearts of the citizens in the city to be in a state of panic.
Xuanzhi Mansion walked into the elegant garden confidently, and sent someone to report the results to Third Prince.
This time he didn't have to wait long, so Han Qing quickly brought him to the study room.
When Xuanzhi Mansion walked in, he saw Third Prince wearing a simple robe sitting behind the table, looking attentively at something.
He hurriedly stepped forward and greeted, “Your Highness, this official has come.”
Teng Yu put down the letter in his hand, raised his head and said with a smile, “Xuanzhi Mansion is rather punctual, from the looks of it, you have already found the results, hand it over.”
“Yes.” Xuanzhi Mansion took out two account books and a confession letter, and handed it over to Teng Yu with both hands.
Teng Yu casually flipped through the account book, and focused on that confession, his face full of shock as he asked: “How could it be him? Master Mu, are you sure you aren't mistaken? “
“Your Highness, don't worry. This official has thoroughly investigated and confirmed that this person was plotting for his own personal interests, borrowing his authority to traffic in the salt.”
Teng Yu had previously known that they would find a scapegoat, but he didn't know that they were looking for this person.
“Lord Mu, he's just a mere seventh rank official. Is he really that capable of transporting salt into the city?” Teng Yu thought, looks like he had to send people to check on Liu Chang's background, to be able to be treated as a thorn in his side by this group of people, he must have a lot of abilities.
“Your Highness, don't underestimate the experience of this post. As long as he has a boat, and a few more people, he will have the ability to transport the salt out of the salt field. This person is guilty of great evil, not only is he selling salt, even His Highness' boat was touched by him, he must not be forgiven!”
“How preposterous!” Teng Yu threw the teacup on the table, and shouted out: “Men, tie up Liu Zhan, I want to see how many heads he has, and how dare he act so recklessly!”
Xuanzhi Mansion was also filled with righteous indignation, he strongly advised Teng Yu to convict him as soon as possible, so that he would not have an excuse to escape.
“The Xuanzhi Mansion's words are reasonable. If he pleads guilty later, this prince will have his men send him to the capital as soon as possible and hand him over to the Emperor for punishment. As for Lord Mu's achievements this time, they will also be played.”
“Thank you, Your Highness, but this is my duty, so it's nothing.”
“Master Mu is truly modest. It is a blessing to have such a good Yunjin City as an official.”
Not long after, two guards came in with a sack and threw it on the ground.
Teng Yu laughed and scolded: “I told you to kidnap people, did you really kidnap people here? Hurry up and untie Lord Liu, This Highness has something to ask. “
Xuanzhi Mansion wiped his sweat, the more he looked at the guards beside Third Prince, the more he felt a sense of fear.
After opening the sack, a skinny old man appeared in front of Teng Yu. When he opened his eyes and saw Xuanzhi Mansion's obvious figure, he immediately scolded: “Xuanzhi Mansion, this official has said it countless times.
It turned out that Xuanzhi Mansion did not use too many despicable methods to pull Liu Zhan down, but it was a pity that he did not agree to it, even with the knife on his neck.
When Tang Jian was in office, he was rather polite to this Liu Cheng. Even though there was a huge disparity between their positions and their paths were different, Tang Jian still kept this person and did not take his life.
Someone advised him to remove Liu Qing from his post and switch to his own person. Tang Jian also smiled and said, “Why must we do this, there are no fish in the water, and there are no fish in the water. It would be good for us to leave such a person.”
Thus, this old man who had been a seventh grade official for 30 years managed to survive. However, this old man was extremely upright and had caused quite a bit of trouble for Xuanzhi Mansion and the rest.
Fortunately, he was not good at camping and did not have any background. With his weak strength, he naturally could not shake these trees.
“How dare you!” Xuanzhi Mansion shouted, “Liu Zhan, look up and see where this is. When did I ever want to be in cahoots with you?”
“Hey, don't be anxious Xuanzhi Mansion. Let him explain it all to you. It's just a small experience, and it's not worth it for him to make such a big fuss over.”
Only then did Liu Zhan realize that there was someone else present. He looked up and asked uncertainly: “Third Prince?”
He was among the officials who went to welcome Teng Yu back then, but there were too many people, and he was too far away to even clearly see the appearance of the Third Prince, he could only remember the imposing aura he had.
Teng Yu smashed the evidence in front of Liu Zhan with a fierce face, “You sure have guts to dare do so many evil deeds, do you really think that there's no one left in the imperial government?”
Liu Shi Ge was completely stunned, he picked up the account book on the floor and carefully flipped through it a few times, and then heaved a sigh of relief: “I wonder where Third Prince got this thing from? The contents of this header record are really… “Fake!”
“You still dare to argue with the evidence in front of you!” Xuanzhi Mansion's fat body walked in front of him and kicked him down, revealing a proud smile on his face, “This was obtained from your study by this official, what explanation do you have?”
Teng Yu did not care about these two people, as he completely allowed them to freely exhibit their abilities. As for who would be the victor in the end, it was hard to say.
