Marquis Changping widened his eyes in shock. He just wanted to gain benefits from this matter, so why did it bring trouble to himself?
"Why should I help you find a solution? I'm already lucky enough to cover for you. Don't be greedy!"
He finally understood why the master was able to sit in such a high position. It turned out to be because of his shamelessness!
Marquis Changping returned to his former strong state. He was greedy, but he also had brains.
"You should understand that the elixir of immortality is an illusion. It hasn't been developed yet, and it's unlikely to be developed in the future. If you really can't come up with a solution yourself, I can turn against you."
No matter how harsh the words are, he has been a marquis for many years and is more powerful than this little guy.
The lawyer was shocked. This was the backer he had finally found. Now that the Marquis of Changping was forced away, who else could he rely on?
"I understand, Lord Marquis. Don't be angry. I just wanted to test it out. Since you said so, I will do as you say and find a solution myself."
Marquis Changping didn't want to make a big deal out of this. This was not just the matter of his advisor, he was also involved.
"Alright, if you have a plan, discuss it with me. I'll see how I can cover for you. You can't accomplish it alone."
"I hope you can help me with this. I won't be returning with the prisoner no matter what. Please help me think of a way to distract them. Don't worry, I will do my best not to cause you any trouble."
This condition was not excessive, and the Marquis of Changping could agree to it. "Okay, I'll go back and think about it."
Since you come here, you have to participate in something. It is impossible to do nothing.
Moreover, Sheng Mingyu is also responsible for the loss of the prisoner. If he does not solve the problem, he will have to pay the price when the news reaches Kyoto. It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone.
Didn’t His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ask me to deal with Sheng Mingyu?
On the second day, Marquis Changping lived up to his master's expectations and went to find Sheng Mingyu.
The moment she saw him, Sheng Mingyu was ready.
If you dare to send a message to Du Changming, it will not be a good thing. I guess there will be some trouble again.
"How did the Marquis find the time to come and see me? Didn't you say you wouldn't get involved in this matter? Don't change your mind halfway."
Marquis Changping had a guilty smile on his face. He shouldn't have revealed Du Changming, but he had thought about it all night yesterday.
This is not a good thing. If there is a problem, Du Changming can take the blame for it.
"Your Highness is indeed clever. I do have something to ask you. I contacted His Highness yesterday, and he was quite concerned about this master of the mystical arts. After all, he is a wanted criminal of the imperial court, and he wants you to arrest him."
Sheng Mingyu had thought of thousands of possible outcomes, but he never expected that the Marquis of Changping would be so frank.
He suddenly didn't understand what was going on in this person's mind. Did he want him and Du Changming to kill each other?
"Crown Prince? When did the Marquis of Changping become so frank? I remember that this matter has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, right? Does he know that you are using his reputation to bully others?"
Although Marquis Changping felt a little guilty, he was not afraid at all.
It is impossible for Sheng Mingyu to contact Du Changming to verify.
"It's not like this can't be revealed. Since His Royal Highness has hope in his heart, then I will pass it on for him without angering His Majesty. Don't you agree?"
They are enemies, so even if Sheng Mingyu said so, the prince would still trust himself.
"Well, since the Marquis dares to say this, then I dare to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. After all, this matter has nothing to do with him. Why did he suddenly get involved? I need an imperial decree before I dare to agree."
Sheng Mingyu has always been very courageous. Since Marquis Changping dared to gamble, he dared to gamble too.
Although he would not actually contact the prince, he could contact the emperor.
Marquis Changping stood there in a daze, his face stiff. Why was Sheng Mingyu so unreasonable?
I've already said this much, but he still doesn't understand what I mean?
The Marquis of Changping did not dare to be as tough as before and began to speak nicely.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't be so distrustful of me, would you? Otherwise, you should first catch the person behind this, and the criminal's case will naturally be solved."
He has already made such a big promise, so of course he has to work hard to fulfill it.
Sheng Mingyu's attitude also changed, and he looked like he was willing to negotiate.
"I underestimated you, my Lord. How long have you been in Anyuan County? How could you know so much? Who leaked it to you? Tell me, and this matter will be easily resolved."
He knew that the Marquis of Changping might be asking his advisor, but this was different from what he had explained himself.
Fortunately, the questions were not difficult, and Marquis Changping breathed a sigh of relief. He had been prepared for this and would never give up his master.
"They were the yamen runners in your backyard. I was bored these past two days, so I chatted with them casually. I happened to know about this, so I wanted to come and discuss it with you."
Gu Yunni and the Imperial Master had been sitting nearby, listening. She didn't want to join in the conversation at first, but seeing that Sheng Mingyu didn't want to argue, she had no choice but to ask.
"Is that so? Then, Lord, please tell me about your plan? How should we find the person behind this?"
I guess Sheng Mingyu has a plan, otherwise he wouldn't agree so easily.
"Yun Ni, father wants us to look for him in the city. He has abducted so many people, it's impossible for him to be taken out of the city quickly. He should be somewhere in the city."
Marquis Changping came up with a more reliable solution.
If they hadn't analyzed it before, they would probably have done what he thought.
Indeed, how could they escape so easily after robbing so many people?
"My Lord, you're overthinking it. We thought he should be outside the city. He kills people and takes their hearts every day. With such a strong smell of blood, if he were inside the city, he would have been exposed long ago."
Gu Yunni was thinking of an excuse to get away with it, but Sheng Mingyu told her the truth, which shocked her so much that her eyes widened.
If Marquis Changping heard this, could they still complete this task safely?
Knowing clearly that he has bad intentions, what does Sheng Mingyu mean by this?
Marquis Changping was shocked and his expression changed for a moment, but he quickly concealed it.
"No, it can't be outside the city. Or it must be inside the city. Let's look for it together. If we can't find it, I'll take the blame."
Gu Yunni suddenly understood Sheng Mingyu's intention. It turned out that he was trying to trick her.
A wicked smile appeared on his lips, and he finally got some useful information.
At least it is certain that the master and the master are still in contact.
"Oh? Where did you get this information, Lord? On what basis do you think this person can't be outside the city? If it were me, I'd say we should go look for him outside the city. He's already been sent there."
Marquis Changping stammered and was unable to speak, so he had to leave with regret.
He should have made all the preparations before negotiating. These two people are too difficult to deal with. It's really a headache.
The guard had been listening in the room the whole time, and as soon as he left the room, he couldn't help but complain.
