Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 124 - Relief(3)

The servants of the Wei Residence were not sure about the identity of this young man. However, judging from his demeanor and the fact that he had two tall bodyguards, he did as he was asked.

As a result, when Wei Zi'an dragged his exhausted body back, he saw Yin Xu leaning leisurely on the recliner, eating a special snack with Hui State. Beside him was a jug of wine, and the smell of the wine assaulted his nostrils.

The hall was very warm, Wei Zi'an had been frozen for an entire day, and after entering, he felt comfortable.

After waving away the guards and attendant s behind him, Wei Zi'an closed the door of the flower hall, walked to Yin Xu and knelt down, and greeted him as master and servant.

“Young Master, when did you arrive?”

“The Hui State that you arrived at last night, and your home before noon today, where did you go?” Yin Xu lifted his hand to allow him to stand up and speak.

No matter what, Wei Zi'an was still a lord, because she owed him his life and listened to his orders, he could not really treat him like a normal slave.

“Due to the heavy snowfall, many of the goods in the store are out of stock, so I'll have a look to see if there are any goods that need to be locked up for a period of time. In the afternoon, the government official sent someone to go to Xuan He Tower and meet with the Third Prince.”

“He's pretty fast.” Yin Xu laughed, and did not inquire further about the reason why Teng Yu had sought them out.

Wei Zi'an knew about the relationship between the two of them, so he did not say much, “Young master has been here for so long, why not find a room to rest in first?”

“It doesn't matter where you rest. I'm waiting for you anyway.”

Wei Zi'an said in embarrassment: “You should have sent someone to deliver a message to this subordinate.”

“Then we'll have to ask the servants in your mansion. They seem to only listen to your orders.” Yin Xu shrugged.

Wei Zi'an thought about the current situation in the manor and felt even more embarrassed, “I'm really sorry. A group of servants cleared out the manor, so the ones left over are all more obedient, so …”

Yin Xu waved his hand, signalling to him not to need to explain anything, “Have you settled the matters at home?”

“No, I just chased some eyesore out of the mansion.”

“Hmm? Aren't they murderers? How come I'm not caught? ” When Yin Xu let Wei Zi'an come back, he was the one who told him to testify against the culprit who killed his parents.

Wei Zi'an's eyes showed some regret, “There is not enough evidence, Master Yu will not accept them. Fortunately I already chased them out, we can calculate slowly later.”

“As long as you have the numbers.” Yin Xu sat up and stretched his body. The blanket that was covering him fell down smoothly and he sneezed, “It's so cold today, what time is it?”

“It's almost dark. Do you want to stay here at night?” Wei Zi'an calculated in his heart, if this young master wanted to stay, he would have to vacate his main house.

His parents used to live in the main house, and after his parents died he didn't move in, but stayed empty.

If the young master wanted to stay, there was no reason for him to stay in the side courtyard. However, since no one was living in the main courtyard for such a long time, it must be extremely cold.

“No need, let's go back to the yamen. I'm cold asleep by myself.” Yin Xu had his own furnace in human form, he did not care about this magnificent Wei Mansion.

“Oh yeah, how many people do you want to borrow from today?”

“Please speak.” Wei Zi'an listened attentively.

“Since you said that some of the shops were going to close, then you should borrow a few big shopkeepers and the accountant. The Third Prince Mansion is going to send a batch of silver over, Teng Yu is worried about letting other people get a bunch of silver.”

Wei Zi'an also knew that there were too many hidden tricks within the relief money, with just a slight movement, a big hole could appear.

“Don't worry, I will send someone over tomorrow. It's just that …” Do you want the Prophet to say something? “

“No need, of course it's up to us to decide how to use the Third Prince Mansion, it has nothing to do with the government.”

Wei Zi'an nodded, in his heart, he started to recall which people were reliable and which were clever, this was his first time working for Yin Xu, he must not make any mistakes.

Speaking of which, Wei Zi'an himself felt that it was strange, it was clearly just a favor to him to have saved his life, why was he willing to use his entire Wei Family to repay?

Was it because the drop of water had brought him a debt of gratitude? Of course not, if it was simply to repay the favor, he could have just given her enough silver.

Was it forced by the Seventh Young Master Huo? That didn't seem to be the case. Although the other party had indeed threatened him, if it was just that, he definitely wouldn't be willing to submit to him.

After thinking and thinking for a while, he felt that the reason he was willing to do so was to find a stable backer for his Wei Family.

The Wei Family was rich, but they were also merchants. If not for the title of imperial merchant, Wei Zi'an would not even have the qualifications to participate in the Imperial examinations.

However, the imperial government could not afford to use the son of an imperial merchant. Otherwise, collusion between officials and merchants would be too cheap.

Wei Zi'an had suffered once before, so he was deeply aware of just how insignificant his own strength was.

So, after knowing the identity of his savior, he dared to make that decision.

“Then there's nothing else. I'll be going back.” Yin Xu yawned and walked out. He had come to Wei Family today because he wanted to see Wei Zi'an and borrow some people.

As for the other matters, they would have to take it slow. In any case, he did not just stay in the Hui State for one or two days.

Wei Zi'an had personally sent him to the Prefectural Governoment. Not only that, he had also left behind a large amount of warm clothes and food.

Yin Xu saw that they were all things that he could use right now, so he accepted them without a second thought.

On the second day, not only did Wei Zi'an bring people over early in the morning, he even gave them a room contract. On the surface, it was for them to do business, but in reality, it was still a form of filial respect for Yin Xu.

Seeing that Yin Xu did not take over, he thought that Yin Xu still had some reservations and quickly explained: Since Third Prince wanted to manage his own money, then there would be too many people living in the yamen. It would also be troublesome for them to go in and out, so it would not be convenient for them to do anything.

Moreover, the Prefectural Governoment of this mansion wasn't too far away. It was only one street away, so it was very convenient to communicate with the two sides.

Yin Xu realized that he had no reason to reject her, so he brought his people and moved that day.

The house was big enough that after discussing with Teng Yu, he decided to free up a bit of space to go into the courtyard to take in those fatherless orphans.

Since he wanted to be a good person, he had to do his best. Donating a bit of money was not enough.

These days, the officials had counted the number of orphans and written a small booklet. Their ages were not the same, so they could only live in the shelter with difficulty. Because they could not work and ate less, they were all too skinny to bear.

When this news spread, all of the citizens of the Hui State used the Third Prince as a Buddha to pay tribute to them. Especially when the various interest measures of the yamen were announced and many said that these were the orders given by the Third Prince, Teng Yu's prestige amongst the victims was extremely high.

The commoners had pure hearts and minds, especially when they were not full yet. As long as there was someone who could give them a mouthful of food, they would definitely be people who owed them great favors.

Many people knew about the Third Prince being the messenger to the north, going to the Hui State. At the beginning, no one had any hopes at all, as they thought that a prince would come, what could they possibly do? He was most likely someone who only knew how to eat, drink, and wait upon others. It was simply too difficult for him, who didn't know the hardships of the common people, to be able to show mercy to the common people.

Unexpectedly, Third Prince's performance had exceeded everyone's expectations, not only did he personally inspect the disaster, personally sympathize with the refugees, and persuade the rich and powerful gentry to donate their food, after the imperial government gave out the financial aid, everyone heard that the Third Prince had paid half of the price, and with every single one of them added together, they finally started to change Teng Yu's unbearably smelly reputation.

Not only that, there were even people discussing to build a temple for the Third Prince in the future.

“How does it feel to be praised?” Yin Xu joked.

Teng Yu gave it some serious thought and nodded: “It's not bad.” Every day when he left the residence, the people on the streets who knew him would greet him on their own. It had to be known that in the capital, when the commoners saw him, it was like seeing a god of pests.

“The news of this matter should be sent back to the capital very soon. Are you ready?”

Teng Yu knew what he meant. He carried the person in his arms, bit his neck, and laughed as he replied, “Of course you can. From tomorrow onwards, don't go out alone.

“Are you trying to tie me up even if you die? Being with you is much more dangerous, who would dare to touch me alone? “

“Yes, yes. I just hope that Master Huo Qi can protect me. If anything happens, we can still be a pair of dead lovebirds reincarnated together. We can continue to be companions in the next life.”

Yin Xu pinched him heavily on his leg, “The matter of reincarnation isn't up to you to decide. There's no guarantee that you won't be able to be a human in your next life.”

“Then I'll be a happy cat or dog pair. As long as it's you, I'll be happy.”

Yin Xu rolled his eyes and thought: Then we will have to see if I am willing to or not!

Teng Yu pressed his down on the bed, his breathing became rapid, his palms slid into his clothes, “Should we cultivate together? You can't be lazy when it comes to cultivating. We haven't practiced for many days. “

Yin Xu slapped his hand away, turned his body, and pressed him down, “That's right, it has indeed been many days, but … It's time for us to change our order. “
