Chapter 188 - He Was the One Who Was Afraid of Acting Stupid

I heard that the Third Prince loves beauties, but now that he has a good thought, no matter how beautiful he is, he won't be able to enter his eyes. This can be seen from the fact that the person sent out of the Xiao Family was pushed back without changing a single bit.

When they heard that the Third Prince loved money, and every single place they went to caused the local officials to lose a layer of fat, the officials of Yunjin City would prepare a generous gift before going to the banquet.

In terms of wealth, even the officials of the capital city could not compare to this precious land called Yunjin City.

Of course, there was no lack of officials who could help the people. It was just that the officials who could do the job smoothly wouldn't have a personality that could help the people to the end.

“Your Highness, this is a little gift from the officials, please accept it!” The fat prefect's surname was Mu, and he was also a big family name in Jiangnan. The Mu Clan's support was closely related to his ability to sit in this position.

Teng Yu's eyelids did not even move as he lightly said while holding his wine cup: “Prefect is too foreign, I came here on orders from the Emperor, if I took your things, wouldn't that cause people to beat around the bush?”

“Your Highness, you are overthinking things. Once you leave this door, no one will know about it outside. Besides, this official does not have any unnecessary intentions. I am only giving you a gift, a normal favor.”

Teng Yu casually opened a box. Inside, there was a jade Guanyin, its entire body was light green, although its quality was not high, but its carving skills were extraordinary, and adding in the large piece of jade, it had an extraordinary value.

He glanced at Yin Xu, and saw that he had really looked at this thing again.

“Since this is a normal exchange of favours, then I, Your Highness, will not be courteous. However, this prince has always been unfeeling. So, after receiving everyone's gifts, I am embarrassed to say.” ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

“Your Highness, please speak. As long as we are in the Yunjin City, this official will do his best to help you.” Xuanzhi Mansion patted his chest in guarantee.

“It's not a big deal. What's the name of the courtyard that this prince is currently living in?” Teng Yu scratched his chin and thought.

“Ya Garden!”

“Oh, yes! Truly worthy of its name, it's indeed extremely elegant. This prince loves it very much, but I don't know ... “

The Xuanzhi Mansion slapped his forehead and immediately fished out a piece of paper from his sleeve and respectfully handed it over, “Look at this official's memory, this is the land deed for Ya Yuan. Originally, I should have given it to you after you took up residence.

“How can I accept this?” Teng Yu glared and did not accept it, saying in all seriousness: “I think it's better this way, this Highness will not accept the things on the table, the courtyard will be given to me as a gift to friends, this Highness will not take advantage of you, and will deliver the equivalent value of gold and silver afterwards.”

“Your Highness, please don't ...” That elegant garden was originally an item belonging to the imperial family, and it has been under the protection of the Prefectural Governoment for all these years. Now that the palace is down, it should be returned to its rightful owner. “

The two of them pushed it away for a while, and in the end, the deed was still Teng Yu's hands. Of course, as soon as he made his move, he gave it to Yin Xu and hugged his shoulder as he asked in a fawning manner, “Now you're happy right?”

Everyone suddenly understood, so the reason why Third Prince was so thick-skinned in asking for things was for this person.

It was not hard to guess Yin Xu's identity. Although it was the first time that many people present had seen him, this was probably the only person that could cause Third Prince to be so humble.

Teng Yu swept his eyes across the officials present and smiled as he stood up. “I've eaten my fill, it's getting late, let's disperse.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat as they smiled and agreed. They secretly decided that they would clean up the place throughout the night when they got back.

Of course, there were also people who disapproved, thinking that since the His Highness The Prince had just arrived, how could it be so easy to find out anything?

Before he left, Teng Yu suddenly thought of something, and turned to say: “That's right, since we are going to investigate everything thoroughly, from tomorrow onwards, Yunjin City will enforce the curfew, from today onwards, no one is allowed to go out on the streets, if there are any violators, we will treat them as an accomplice.”

Xuanzhi Mansion looked at him with a troubled face, “This ... I'm afraid that it's not easy to carry it out, Your Highness doesn't know that the night life of Yunjin City is extremely rich, and the citizens are all used to coming out at night to have fun, if the curfew is forced, the citizens might cause a ruckus. “

Teng Yu shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: “Then let them come to the elegant garden to cause trouble for this noble king!”

When he left, all the officials present couldn't help but burst out laughing.

“Fortunately, this person is here. What does he know? It seems like we were all worried for nothing. “

“That's right, a curfew is a curfew just because you say it. Do you think our Yunjin City is the capital? Where did the troops come from? “

“Childish, you can tell at a glance that he is a willful lord. Serving him well.”

“Lord Mu, that matter... Isn't it time for us to take action? ” Someone whispered into the Xuanzhi Mansion's ear.

Xuanzhi Mansion's eyes lit up, “There's no rush, no rush. Let's see how capable this lord is first.

Heh, you think too highly of him. Today, he accepted so many things from us, which is the same as getting on our boat. Let's find an opportunity to test him.

Xuanzhi Mansion glared at him, “You have lost your head, the princes in the court are fighting fiercely, the Emperor did not decide which prince should be the crown prince, why should we join in to earn our money?”

“Yes, yes. This official has spoken wrongly.” The man rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice, “My lord, if he finds any evidence against us, don't be soft-hearted!”

“Don't worry, even if it isn't for yourself, for my wife and children, I won't be merciful.”

“I hope this official is overthinking things. This lord has repeated himself over and over again, and I'm really unable to figure it out.” They had investigated quite a bit about the Third Prince, but the more they saw, the more confused they were. They didn't know if this prince was really muddle-headed or just faking it.

What they were afraid of was him pretending to be stupid!

Xuanzhi Mansion waved for everyone to return. They had already discussed what they needed to discuss previously, so it would all depend on how Third Prince does things from now on.

After sitting on the palanquin back to the Xiao Mansion, Xuanzhi Mansion ordered the servants through the curtain: “Go to the Xiao Mansion and tell Head Master Xiao not to be in a hurry to take action, otherwise, I will not care about his life.”

“Yes.”
