Uncle Nine

Chapter 105 The Oriental Mermaid's Fish
The Ye family is not an idle generation either, although they are not as powerful as Prince Regent's Mansion and Prince Rui's Mansion, they are still the best of the general family.Ye Eryu is the second Miss Ye and the future Princess Rui, whoever dares not to give Princess Rui any face after being overwhelmed by ambition.

What's more, General Ye's behind-the-scenes pressure test is not small.

Shen House.

"My lord." Xu Fu stepped forward, "There is movement in Prince Rui's residence."

Shen Hao was frowning, thinking about how to solve Xia Yu's matter, which is the best solution. Hearing the news, he immediately got up and walked over, "What's wrong with Prince Rui's Mansion? On the other side of the lord——"

"It's not Prince Rui, it's Princess Rui." Xu Fu lowered his voice, "The lowly official has left people in the criminal department to monitor at any time, so as not to make any noise, but the lord is kept in the dark. Just after dark, someone from Prince Rui's residence came. They entered from the backyard of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. They were looking for the doctor of the Ministry of Criminal Justice—Hua Wen, Mr. Hua. The spies were far away, so I didn’t understand it very well. The general meaning is that Mr. Hua interrogated Xia Yu and convicted him.”

Shen Hao frowned, "Didn't the lord compete with the regent and not allow anyone to touch Xia Yu? How come Princess Rui—"

"Your Excellency, you are confused. No matter whether it is a man or a woman in this world, whoever enters the backyard of Lord Rui, who is not the thorn in Princess Rui's side? Since the sack was punctured from the inside, let's—" Xu Fu smiled wretchedly.

"Very good." Shen Hao sneered, "It also saves me from worrying about the future, let the people in Prince Rui's Palace do it themselves!"

Just as he was talking, the housekeeper knocked on the door outside, "My lord, the Prince Regent's Mansion invites you to come over and say that we have something important to discuss."

Shen Hao glanced at Xu Fu in astonishment.

"My lord, the regent is relying more and more on you, and you will have a bright future in the future." Xu Fu flattered him.

"Excellent!" Shen Hao went out with a flick of his sleeves.

When Xu Fu came out, he happened to see Shen Xing standing in the yard, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "Miss is so late, why are you still here? Where is the person serving you? Come on, why did you leave Miss here alone? What are they all for?"

Without saying a word, Shen Xing stepped forward and kicked Xu Fu's knee, causing Xu Fu to kneel down in front of her in pain.

"Slave dog." Shen Xing gave him a hard look, "It's all caused by you bad guys."

After saying that, she ran away.

Xu Fu was trembling in pain, but he didn't understand, what happened to Shen Xing today?Those eyes seemed to be very venomous.Who did he provoke?
Shen Hao got out of the carriage, and walked into the Regent's Palace respectfully.

The high-walled compound is heavily guarded.The moment I stepped into the gate of the mansion, it was like being in Abi Hell, it was so cold that I couldn't stop my heart from trembling.This place is full of resentment, and there is a cold murderous aura floating everywhere.

It was not Dongfang Yue who received Shen Hao, but Jing Ming who was beside Dongfang Yue.

In the flower hall, Shen Hao bowed his knees, "I don't know what is the important thing for the regent to find the next official?"

"My lord is busy, so I can't see you for the time being. If you have something to say, I will pass it on to you." Jing Ming sat down, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shen Hao.

Speaking of it, Jing Ming is just a servant of the Prince Regent, while Shen Hao has an official position.But under the palace lantern, it seems to be the exact opposite.The servant is not like the servant, but the servant of the Ministry of Punishment is like a pug dog, submissive.

"Lord Jing, but it's okay to say." Shen Hao laughed, "As long as the subordinate officials can do it, the subordinate officials will definitely do their best and will not hesitate to do so."

Jing Ming sneered contemptuously, "I don't know why the servant thinks that the regent summoned him late at night, why?"

"There are many death row prisoners in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and there are inevitably a few of them, which will upset the prince." Shen Hao bowed his head.

Jing Ming nodded, "Master Shi Lang has good eyesight, he really deserves to be the one the prince likes. I heard that Master Shangshu's old illness has relapsed, and he has been in bed for two days. The prince feels that the dragons must be leaderless. I'm afraid it won't be enough, now it's time to find a suitable candidate, a successor to replace him."

Shen Hao was ecstatic, although he tried his best to restrain himself, his voice was unavoidably trembling with excitement, "I also ask Mr. Jing to give me some advice."

"Didn't your lord minister say that? There are many death row prisoners in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Since they are death row prisoners, there is no need to occupy space and waste food." Jing Ming glanced at Shen Hao, "So, is it clear?"

"This—" Shen Hao hesitated, "I'm afraid it's inconvenient on the other side of Prince Rui's residence."

"I didn't expect that the Minister of the Minister would not like the position of Shangshu, and he still eats from the bowl and looks at the pot. With these two preparations, he can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. Admire! Admire!" Jing Ming suppressed the smile on his face, his eyes were cold and indifferent temperature.

Shen Hao was startled, and his expression changed suddenly, "How dare you disobey the Prince Regent, but if Prince Rui makes a scene, I'm afraid you will be powerless to resist."

Jing Ming snorted coldly, "The Prince Regent's House made a move. Could it be possible that Prince Rui can come and find him and fight again?"

"Don't dare." Shen Hao trembled.

"Success or failure is up to you. When you do something for the lord, you must remember a rule." Jing Ming stared coldly, "Your lord hates too many explanations from others. The lord only cares about the result, not the process. No matter the means. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Shen Hao's face turned pale.

Jing Ming walked out the door with a smile, "No."

Sweat dripped down his forehead, Shen Hao swallowed his saliva, and then walked out of the Regent's Palace with a bowed body.There was a chill down my spine, this place was indeed frightening.If he didn't go again, he was afraid that his feet would be weak and he would never be able to go out again.

Dongfang Xu was standing outside the window of the flower hall, gently stroked the hair on his temples with his fingertips.

With the scarf untied and black hair drooping, this pair of red lips and white teeth is as beautiful as a woman's face, as if she is in a city.If you don't laugh, you are done, and if you smile, you will harm the country.Dressed in white, he walked slowly in the long corridor.The palace lantern swayed, against his wonderful face, it was like a pear blossom blooming, or a hibiscus emerging from water.There is no murderous look, nor is there a bit of coldness, and the warm scholarly air exudes from all over his body.

If he didn't know what he did, no one would associate him with the murderous demon.

Little do they know that this white-faced scholar is actually a poisonous snake and a beast.

Walking back to his room, the huge room was filled with flowers and fruits, exuding the lingering fragrance of melons and fruits.In the center of the room is an extremely delicate hand-painted peony fish tank. The fish tank is very large, about the size of a double bed.A few water lilies are lying on the water, seeming to be drowsy from the warmth of the charcoal fire, their postures are lazy and charming.

Under the water lily, there are groups of fish.

Yun Guan stepped forward quickly, "My lord, the person who followed the prince to Daizhou was discovered."

"And then?" Dongfang Xu's face was calm, and he reached out to brush the water lilies away from the water.

Officer Yun took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice, "Everyone was killed, only one escaped and came back to report."

"Where is the man?" Dongfang Xu asked.

Yun Guan said, "Waiting outside."

"Come in!" Dongfang Xu rolled up his sleeves and put his hands into the water.

The wounded hidden guard knelt behind Dongfang Xu, "Forgive me, my lord, it's not good to do things in a lowly position."

"Where did you follow, were you discovered?" Dongfang Xu was not annoyed, and his tone was calm.

Anwei said, "As soon as they arrived in Daizhou, they began to inquire about Xia Yu's background. He was a low-ranking person—he was accidentally discovered, and all of them died tragically at their hands, with no survivors."

Dongfang Xu frowned slightly, "Xia Yu? Hmph—when will my adoptive father be willing to spend such effort on a brat?"

"The humble position is incompetent, please give the humble position another chance, the humble position will definitely fulfill its mission." The secret guard bowed his head.

Dongfang Xu caught a fish from the water, and smiled beautifully, "Did the foster father recognize you?"

The dark guard hurriedly shook his head, "I never recognized it."

"Excellent." Dongfang Xu chuckled, "Didn't you say it? No one survived!"

After the sound fell, the dark guard suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened.

The fish in Dongfang Xu's hand was thrown out instantly, the sharp fins slashed across the neck of the dark guard, and then spun back to Dongfang Xu's hand.The fish was bloodied but unscathed.

The dark guard fell to the ground with a thump, his eyes widened, and his eyes were full of horror.

On the neck, there was blood pouring out.

Dongfang Xu threw the fish back into the fish tank as if nothing had happened, only to hear a plop and countless splashes.The fish was stained with blood, and after entering the water, the blood slowly surfaced, lingering with strands of blood, which was particularly beautiful.

Yun Guan stood aside and didn't dare to say anything. Dongfang Xu never relents in killing people.

"Where's my fish feed?" Dongfang Xu asked.

Yun Guan hurried to get the fish feed and offered it with both hands.

After grabbing a handful of fish feed and throwing it into the fish tank casually, Dongfang Xu said with a smile, "I'm spoiled by this fish. I won't eat anything except my well-prepared fish feed." The officer glanced at him, and then his eyes fell on the dark guard who was lying in a pool of blood, "This flesh and blood should be used to the best of its ability. It belongs to me. Whether it is good or bad, I have to deal with it myself. Don't even try to get your fingers in."

"Yes!" Yun Guan nodded.

Another bag of fish feed.

Dongfang Xu walked away slowly, Yun Guan cautiously glanced at the school of fish in the fish tank desperately devouring the fish food, and felt creepy.Over the years, these fish have changed from batch to batch, but the food they eat remains the same forever.

"My lord, do you want someone to go to Daizhou again?" Yun Guan asked.

Dongfang Xu shook his head, "If you go too many times, your adoptive father will become suspicious. Do you want to die?"

Yun Guan bowed his head and remained silent.

"Staring at the prison of the Criminal Ministry, the monk can't run away from the temple. Nothing is as important as her life now. If people are dead, what's the use of finding so many?" Dongfang Xu narrowed his dangerous eyes, "But , Yifu has already decided to attack, I want to see if Xia Yu has such a big life this time!"

"Yes." Yun Guan quickly exited the room.

Xia Yu—Dongfang Xu let out a sigh of relief, but then thought of that stubborn and immature face.The little girl in her teens was not afraid of the sky and the earth, and relied on her for everything. In her, he found his old self.The same stubbornness, the same self-sufficiency.

The difference is that she is free and unrestrained, full of the kind of youth that people yearn for, full of passion, and a rare enthusiasm for life and people or things in the world.

And he, even his life, is not his own.

He didn't envy wealth and glory, nor did he envy power over the world, but for a moment, he was jealous of Xia Yu.

Young and vigorous, relying on the strength of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, he unscrupulously caused troubles in the capital.But now, he is looking forward and backward, for fear of making mistakes.

But Xia Yu also has Xia Yu's troubles, for example, when she sleeps in the middle of the night, she hates being woken up the most!But when she opened her eyes, it was still a group of vicious jail guards who forcibly dragged her from the wooden bed and dragged her directly to the execution room.

With a sound of "Ah!", she was thrown to the ground, and her bones were about to fall apart.Xia Yu woke up suddenly with a piercing sound of gavel, her eyes widened.Looking around, there was a crowd of cruel officials, all of them staring at her with that kind of vicious eyes.At that moment, she felt that she was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Someone had already put her on the stove, and she was just waiting for the fire to burn vigorously, and then she would be skinned alive.
