When Yu Rentong arrived, even the servants who had worked in the Prince Consort's Mansion for many years did not know that he possessed special skills.
This man was less than five feet tall, hunched over, and walked with a limp. At first glance, he looked like an unremarkable old man with a hunched back.
But who knew that this was the man who had once terrified the people of Jianghu. It was said that no one could escape the fate of being killed by him.
"Princess!" The voice was chaotic. Yu Rentong did not bow because he was a hunchback and always bent over.
Princess Dexin seemed to respect him very much: "Uncle Yu, I want you to kill someone."
Yu Rentong finally raised his head, which had been lowered. The sight of him raising his head was even more terrifying. A long, deep scar ran across his face, from his forehead to the corner of his mouth. Somehow, despite such a severe injury, he hadn't died.
"I wonder who the princess wants me to kill?" Now I finally understand why Yu Ren Tong's voice is so slurred and muddled; it turns out he was speaking ventriloquism. The fatal blow to his face didn't kill him, but it completely paralyzed his facial nerves, rendering him mute.
Later, he learned ventriloquism from somewhere. When Yu Ren Tong spoke, he did not move his mouth, but used ventriloquism to communicate with people.
Princess Dexin then explained the whole story. After listening, Yu Rentong said, "Princess, this matter is simple. Leave it to me."
After hearing what he said, Qi Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Yu Rentong agreed, there was nothing he couldn't do.
Princess Dexin nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Yu. When the task is completed, I will tell my uncle and he will reward me handsomely."
Yu Rentong lowered his head again and said, "The Shangguan family has been incredibly kind to me, so it's a bit strange for you to say that, Princess. I've recently heard that there's a master by your side named Linghu Yunlong, but I've never had the chance to meet him. I'd love to see him introduce me to someone someday, Princess. I'd love to learn from him."
It turns out this fish-man possesses extraordinary skills, but has been lying in obscurity in the Prince Consort's mansion for decades. He had heard that Linghu Yunlong, Zhao Huan's close friend, was a master of martial arts, and had long been eager to witness his prowess.
Princess De Xin smiled slightly and said, "I don't think it's a big deal. Leave it to me. When I have time, I'll go talk to my brother the emperor and let him have Linghu Yunlong compete with you."
Yu Rentong said slowly: "Thank you, Princess. I will go to Chenliu Town now." After that, he turned and left.
Qi Zhiyan was startled: "Butler Yu, why are you going to Chenliu Town? They should be in the Caizhou area."
Yu Rentong said without turning his head: "No matter where they are, since Your Majesty wants them to come to the capital, then Chenliu Town is the only way to get there. I will wait for them in Chenliu Town, so as not to go to Caizhou and find nothing."
Princess Dexin rolled her eyes at Qi Zhiyan and said, "That's right, Uncle Yu is still the smartest."
Yu Rentong snorted and walked out of the Prince Consort's Mansion in the blink of an eye.
Qi Zhiyan has always been afraid of this butler. This fish-man seems to have the ability to read minds and can guess what she means.
Qi Zhiyan might be a beast, but he was still his own flesh and blood. He was conflicted. On the one hand, he wanted to silence Zhao Huan so he could not testify against him. On the other hand, he was worried about his two children, so he deliberately sent Yu Rentong to Caizhou. He never thought that Yu Rentong seemed to see through his thoughts.
Princess Dexin looked at Qi Zhiyan with a cold face and without saying a word.
Qi Zhiyan immediately put on a mournful expression: "Princess, I've actually forgotten that woman a long time ago. In my eyes, she's just..."
After a long talk, Qi Zhiyan finally coaxed Princess Dexin into a happy smile. She hugged Princess Dexin and walked into the palace in a swagger.
Yu Ren Tong seemed to be incapable of being kept alive, but once he was in motion, he moved like a rabbit. Without bending his legs or lifting his feet, he seemed to soar through the air onto a swift horse at the entrance to the Prince Consort's residence. In the blink of an eye, he was gone, leaving the servants at the gate stunned.
…
Zhao Huan returned to the palace. As soon as Kaifeng Prefecture had any information about Linghu Yunlong, they would send someone to the palace to inform him. He returned to the palace to deal with some memorials from various places.
Zhao Huan felt reassured by the fact that Li Gang and the others had handled the memorials fairly and impartially. If he were to leave the palace again incognito, he could leave the affairs of state to these regents, who would handle them in an orderly manner.
In fact, even if you are an incompetent emperor and do not care about government affairs, as long as you employ people properly, you can still ensure peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty, some cultivating immortality, some working as carpenters, relied on their ministers to govern the country in an orderly manner. Although the country was eventually destroyed, at least it did not fall overnight.
"Cao Dongsheng, summon Zheng Xian and Pan Bufeng." Zhao Huan said while reviewing the memorial.
"As you wish." Cao Dongsheng bowed and left.
Regardless of the circumstances, the role of the Tiger Yasi and the Imperial Dragon Guards could not be underestimated. These two departments were like Zhao Huan's right-hand men, and he had to constantly monitor the movements of the capital.
Soon, Zheng Xian and Pan Bufeng arrived at Wende Hall.
Zhao Huan was reviewing the memorials without looking up. "Anything going on lately?"
Zheng Xian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there have been no unusual incidents in the capital for the time being. Officials from all departments are relatively well behaved, and there has been no bullying or market manipulation."
Zhao Huan nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the Tiger Yasi had a good deterrent effect.
Pan Bufeng followed suit, saying, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Dragon Guard has dispatched officials to various locations to conduct overt and covert investigations into the performance of officials. Some have made remarkable achievements, while others have been found to be guilty of corruption and abuse of power."
"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly. Regardless of whether they are royal relatives or ministers, if anyone is found to be corrupt and perverting the law, they will be severely punished!"
