Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt
Chapter 83 Disgusting
At noon, Xu Younian had been waiting for the whole morning and was starving. The guards of Tianxing Pavilion had already taken their shift to eat, but no one brought his guest even a piece of dessert.
"Humph!"
Xu Younian couldn't hold it anymore and suddenly stood up and walked out.
At this moment, Liang Heng suddenly came out from the next room, stood at the door and stretched lazily.
"Hmm? Why is Lord Xu in my Tianxing Pavilion?"
Liang Heng glanced sideways, saw Xu Younian, and asked in confusion.
Xu Younian's mouth twitched, thinking, what are you pretending to be? I've been waiting here for the whole morning. Are you trying to say you don't know?
"Haha, Pavilion Master Liang is really busy with all kinds of affairs. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Liang Heng frowned and asked the guard in front of the door in a cold voice, "How could it be, why didn't you wake me up when Lord Liang came!"
Xu Younian's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He had been waiting for the whole morning, but this guy was actually sleeping in the next room. It would have been fine if he was sleeping, but he acted as if he was afraid that he didn't know and even said it out loud!
Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting!
Xu Younian took a deep breath and said with a fake smile: "Master Liang, there is no need to blame the guard. He also has good intentions. Since you have woken up, may I ask if you would allow me to tell you something?"
Liang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "Of course."
Xu Younian came very early today with an anxious expression. Liang Heng deliberately left him alone just to disgust him, but he didn't expect that this guy would hold his nose and endure it for the whole morning.
I guess he has something to ask for, otherwise he would have walked away with a displeased look on his face.
In the living room, the two took their seats one after another.
Liang Heng glanced at Xu Younian and said calmly, "I wonder if Sir Liang has anything to say when he came here today?"
Xu Younian first laughed several times, looking very amiable.
"Master Liang, I wonder if you have heard of Xue Tao from the Blood Robe Tower."
Liang Heng's heart sank when he heard this. Why did Xu Younian come all the way to ask about this? Could it be that Xu Younian heard about the fact that Tianxing Pavilion sent people to clean up the Xueyi Building?
Liang Heng's mind was as fast as lightning. On the surface, he picked up the teacup calmly and brushed off the tea foam. "Of course I have heard of this person. In the past few days, the capital, the Ministry of Justice, and the patrol camp have been trying to catch this person. It has caused a lot of noise. The portrait of the owner Xue Tao was also posted outside the Tianxing Pavilion. But..."
Liang Heng took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Why would Lord Xu ask me about this?"
Xu Younian laughed, wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, "Master Liang, you may not know that Xue Tao is a man of the underworld, a cunning rabbit with three burrows, like a rat in the ditch. Our government has searched the entire capital, and we can't find any trace of him even if we dig three feet into the ground. I heard that Master Liang has many masters under his command, and he also has reputation and power in the underworld, so I came here today to ask Master Liang if he can help find Xue Tao's trace..."
The corners of Liang Heng's mouth curled up. It turned out that Xu Younian couldn't find Xue Tao, so he started to try all kinds of methods. It seemed that it was a wise move for Xue Tao to run to the Zhen'an Palace and hide in the dark.
If he, the prince of Zhennan Palace, had not been in charge of Tianxing Pavilion, he might have been fooled by this woman.
"I see. Lord Xu wants the Tianxing Pavilion to help you capture the wanted criminal."
Hearing this, Xu Younian quickly waved his hand and said, "There is no need for Tianxing Pavilion to take action personally. As long as Tianxing Pavilion can find Xue Tao's whereabouts and tell me, I will naturally bring people to bring him to justice."
Xu Younian said this, of course, not because he was worried about causing trouble for Tianxing Pavilion. He was worried that once Xue Tao landed in Tianxing Pavilion, she would reveal the fact that he had attempted to kill the Crown Prince's Consort of Zhennan Palace.
Liang Heng sneered in his heart, wondering what the hell Xu Younian of the Natural Way was up to. He pretended to hesitate and said thoughtfully: "Tianxing Pavilion is a chamber of commerce. Although it has some say in the martial arts world, if it helps the government arrest martial arts people, I'm afraid it will break the rules..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Younian quickly put his hand into his arms and took out a golden token.
He put the token on the table with a smile and pushed it towards Liang Heng. "Master Liang, the former governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture participated in human trafficking and broke the law knowingly. He deserves to die. Master Liang, this golden token of immunity from death should not be used here. Please take it back."
Liang Heng narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect that Xu Younian was so sensible.
It would be a waste not to take an extra amulet. Liang Heng put the death-free gold medal into his sleeve smoothly, and then slowly said: "Although it is against the rules of the martial arts world, this Pavilion Master has a deep connection with the Zhennan Palace. It is reasonable to help the Zhennan Prince and the Prince's Consort to seek justice."
"Yes, yes, that makes sense."
Xu Younian had a smile on his face, but he was actually cursing in his heart. This Liang Heng was indeed a profiteer who would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit!
"In that case, I'll leave what I just said to you, Pavilion Master Liang. I'm in the Ministry of Justice, waiting for good news."
"Don't worry, Lord Xu. Xue Tao's whereabouts will be on your desk in the Ministry of Justice in three to five days at most."
"In this case, I am relieved."
Xu Younian stood up slowly and said, "I have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
"No delivery."
Liang Heng said he didn't want to see her off, and he really didn't want to see her off. He held the tea and savored it carefully.
Xu Younian walked through the corridor by himself and came to the outside of Tianxing Pavilion. After getting on the carriage, his face turned cold and he took a sip.
"What the hell, you're putting on airs with me? Once I kill Princess Zhennan, I'll find a way to destroy this damn Tianxing Pavilion!"
Inside the Tianxing Pavilion, Liang Heng was playing with the golden medal of immunity from death in his hand, with a faint smile on his face.
"Bai Yu, how is the investigation going?"
A short woman walked out from behind the screen in the living room. She had an honest face and looked somewhat like Bai Zhu.
"My Lord, the people from the Tianxing Pavilion have checked the account books of all the major pharmacies in the capital under the pretext of cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce. There are a total of twelve shops that have sold Aconitum in the past month. The account books of these twelve pharmacies have detailed records of who this highly toxic herb was sold to and for what purpose. Ten of the buyers bought Aconitum to treat a disease called wolfsbane, and the other two provided false names. The people from the Shadow Hall have recorded the facial features of the buyers from the pharmacy owners, and have now assigned people to track them down."
Bai Yu's tone was neither hurried nor slow, and every word was clear and audible.
Liang Heng groaned, "Those two people who used fake names are probably suspicious. We must investigate as soon as possible. I want to see the results within three days."
As soon as Liang Heng finished speaking and Bai Yu was about to speak, a snow-white falcon suddenly flew in. The falcon was in high spirits, flapping its wings in the air, and was reluctant to land.
Bai Yu smiled slightly and raised his arm, then took out a silk handkerchief and put it on his arm, and then the falcon landed.
