Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 193

Chapter 193 - Unconventional Card

The time he had to wait was the longest, especially when he was lacking in confidence. The wine that Xuanzhi Mansion had just drunk was completely awake, and he was looking into the distance anxiously.

He had considered the situation today and informed the Salt-revenue Management Division beforehand. However, because Tang Jian was captured and Wu Lianzhang died miserably, the people from the Salt-revenue Management Division became timid and only agreed to depend on the situation. If they were not completely confident, they would not dare to take over.

Xuanzhi Mansion comforted himself: The situation before my eyes is still relatively clear, Third Prince does not seem to suspect anything, maybe we can just follow the rules and trick him.

The people from the Salt-revenue Management Division were quickly brought here, and the person who came was even the vice envoy. This person was personally promoted by Tang Jian back then, and could be said to be very shrewd.

After Tang Jian was transferred away, he thought his chance had come, but he didn't expect the emperor to secretly arrange someone else to replace Tang Jian. This made him depressed for a long time.

Fortunately, after Tang Jian left, the relationship between the Yunjin City and him was one that allowed him to reap quite a bit of benefits.

Since taking office, Wu Lianzhang had not been going well and had a lot to do with his uncooperative subordinates.

“You're the deputy transit envoy?” Teng Yu looked down at the man who was kneeling down.

The man was young, in his early thirties, and his ability to survive in such a position was not bad.

This person was also one of Teng Yu's main targets to check on, and even though she knew him like the back of her hand, she knew that he was a person who knew how to avoid benefits.

“That's me.”

“Look at the salt carriages, are they all from your Salt-revenue Management Division?”

The man turned around and glanced at Xuanzhi Mansion. He cursed at him for being blinded by the silver and dared to commit crimes against the wind.

He walked over to inspect the goods, and received a few hints from the Xuanzhi Mansion. Thus, he gritted his teeth and nodded, “Reporting to Your Highness, we just arrived today.”

“Oh? Did they arrive today? However, according to what I've heard, this ship arrived at the dock a few days ago.

“Your highness did not know that the arrival date of the Salt-revenue Management Division was based on the time of unloading of the goods. Because no one was able to deliver the goods, it was delayed for a few days.”

“Really?” Going from the pier to the Salt-revenue Management Division isn't this way, is it? Don't tell me that you can't even see the road clearly in the dark? “

The man became nervous and thought for a while before replying, “It's like this, the salt room 1 is already full. This salt is going to be dragged to the second salt room. Although it's a bit roundabout, this road is wider and flatter, so it's easier to walk.”

Teng Yu nodded his head, the explanation was reasonable.

He continued to ask, “Is that all you have to transport tonight? “How much salt does this ship have?”

The man clenched his teeth. How could he possibly know how much salt the man with the surname Mu had brought back this time? Even though the other party had informed him, it was impossible for him to tell him all this.

He secretly glanced at Xuanzhi Mansion, who was also dumbfounded. He was always the one in charge of the overall situation, and only knew that there would be a cargo ship here tonight. As for how many cars to load, he did not understand.

“What's wrong? Right now, are you the one presiding over the Salt-revenue Management? You don't even know how much salt you've gotten? ” Teng Yu's tone changed, and berated: “Men, go get the accounts of the Salt-revenue Management Division!”

“No, no.” The man raised his head and answered firmly, “Your Highness, please forgive me, but this official just couldn't react for a moment. This time, there will be a total of five carts of salt, five carts of salt, ten thousand catties, and there will be a batch of them the day after tomorrow. Your Highness, do you want to go to the dock and take a look?”

Teng Yu did not say anything, but stared at him, “You said that this salt is official salt, and that it is being shipped to the Salt-revenue Management Division?”

“Yes sir!”

“You said that only these five vehicles will arrive tonight, and there's nothing else?”

“Yes sir!”

“Very good!” Just as everyone was relieved, Teng Yu suddenly said: “I just received news that there are still five carts of salt being transported out from the pier. Since you said that all the salt is here, there must be some private salt left!”

“Men, follow me and capture those salt traffickers!” Teng Yu waved his hand, and over a hundred guards appeared around him, all ready, their morale strong.

The Xuanzhi Mansion secretly wailed, even the salt courier was sweating profusely. They knew that they had been tricked, and this was definitely a trap laid out by the Third Prince, they hated them for getting into this trap so easily.

Was it because they underestimated the Third Prince, or did they overestimate themselves?

The first thing that came to Xuanzhi Mansion's mind was to completely ignore him. In any case, as long as he did not admit to it, this salt had nothing to do with him, at most, he would just be charged with incompetent supervision.

But when he captured the remaining five carts of salt, Xuanzhi Mansion knew that it would not be easy for him to get out of this predicament. The butler who was previously standing by his side was currently being pressed down on the ground by two guards, his hair in a mess, and in an extremely sorry state.

“Isn't this…?” Teng Yu turned to Xuanzhi Mansion and looked at him suspiciously.

Xuanzhi Mansion's fat body trembled, he bent down and said: “This official … This official also does not know why the steward of the estate would appear here. “

“Don't know?” Teng Yu laughed coldly, “Xuanzhi Mansion, don't treat Your Highness as a three-year-old child, right? From then until now, do you think what you said was true? I really have to suspect that you were the one who arranged all these people! “

“Your Highness, you are wrongly accused …” “How could this official have the guts to …”

“You don't have the guts? “Then why don't you explain what's going on?” Teng Yu threw a piece of letter at him. The other party was startled, picked it up and read it, his face immediately changed.

The date and quantity of the ship's arrival were recorded on this piece of paper, as well as the route map of the ship's manpower and departure. There was even his signature and seal.

This… Where did this thing come from? How could he have placed such a thing on the coachman?

“No, impossible!” Your Highness, someone must have framed us! ” Xuanzhi Mansion was so angry that his entire body was sweating, “Your Highness, with such obvious evidence, how could I give such a coachman?”

“How would I know? Maybe you think there's no mistake, maybe you think I can't find out… “Since you claim that you are wrongly accused, I will give you three days. As long as you can find a real employer, I will believe that you are wrongly accused!”

Teng Yu did not grab this opportunity to explode in anger, instead he released everyone, other than the five carts of salt that he had forcibly confiscated, he did not continue to investigate.

Xuanzhi Mansion's little heart was beating normally. He instinctively felt that this was abnormal, but with the opportunity in front of him, he had no reason to seek his own death.

Seeing that the Xuanzhi Mansion was fine, the transfer assistant salt official quickly knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake, saying that he remembered the wrong number and did not admit to anything else.

Teng Yu was also straightforward, and immediately dismissed his post as “incompetent”, “Looks like there's no way this Salt-revenue Management Division doesn't have a proper official. I'll go play with the Emperor and quickly decide who to choose from, and in this period of time, everything in the Salt-revenue Management Division will be handled by me and the Xuanzhi Mansion!”

What? Xuanzhi Mansion turned pale with fright, and immediately followed up with happiness. This was truly … I lost the sesame seed, I picked up the watermelon, I earned big money.

“I never expected that a mere manager would be unable to do such a big business. Since the Xuanzhi Mansion said that he didn't know why your steward was here, then I will take it as if he was on his own. Someone, take him down.

“Lord …” Help … “Lord …”

Everyone was shocked, they never thought that Third Prince would completely go against common sense, who would be the first to grab hold of him and cut him down without even trying to interrogate him?

Xuanzhi Mansion's face turned ugly, he walked over and kicked the butler's chest, “You thief, you dare to do such a stupid thing and you beg for forgiveness!? “Rest assured, for the sake of your many years of service, I will definitely take good care of your wife and children!”

Teng Yu's mouth curved in a ridiculing smile, this was truly a good show.

The butler immediately understood what his master meant. If he were to reveal him, then his entire family would be doomed. On the contrary, as long as his lord was fine, his family would be able to live a good life.

He gritted his teeth and steeled his heart. While no one was looking, he bit off his tongue and twitched a few times before he stopped breathing.

Until now, he still felt that this kind of death was worth it. It was still better than having his head separated from his body.

“Not good… Your Highness, the prisoner bit his tongue and committed suicide! ” The two guards that had suppressed him reported with a look of vexation.

Teng Yu waved his hands nonchalantly. “So what if I die, it's just a small fish and shrimp.”

He looked around and said with a smile, “It's been half the night and everyone's tired. Let's go back.”

A carriage was pulled to Teng Yu's side, he held Yin Xu's hand and got off the carriage, lifting up the curtain of the carriage, he said to Xuanzhi Mansion: “Master Mu, it's not that I'm being heartless, but rather, we're really short on time, three days is limited, you have to hurry.”

“Yes, yes. This official will definitely live up to everyone's expectations!”

“That's good!” Teng Yu nodded with satisfaction and closed the curtain, cutting off all kinds of gazes.
