Chapter 260
C260 – Don’t be Cheap and be a Good Boy
Teng Yu did not know that his own advisors had already decided to leave, but of course, even if he knew, he would not give up.
Therefore, when Teng Yu arrived at the Huo Family, the people of the Huo Family had just finished receiving the decree. Other than Yin Xu’s stiff face, there was a bitter look on his face.
As soon as Teng Yu entered, he bowed to Huo Zhengquan, “Father-in-law, this time, isn’t it finally legal and honorable?”
Huo Zhengquan really wanted to slap his face, “Humph, you all better take care of yourselves!” He couldn’t control it, or else it would be impossible for him to control an enemy.
Teng Yu’s smile never stopped as he watched Huo Zhengquan’s back figure leave in anger. He smiled happily as he said to the few remaining people around him, “How about I treat everyone to some wine?” In the future, these were all his brother-in-law’s and brother-in-law’s, so their relationship had to be good.
“Sure.” The youngest brother-in-law waved his small hands excitedly.
Huo Yiming knocked on his door, “You’re only a few years old, do you know what wine is? That’s good? “
“Of course, Father said that as a man, it is necessary to drink wine.”
The juniors would not think too much. They would accept the emperor’s decree to grant them a marriage, whether it was against the granddaughter of the Inferior Prime Minister or the dignified Third Prince, it was all the same to them.
But the Huo Yiming was very worried about Yin Xu, if news of this got out, it would definitely cause more losses than praises, causing a prince to lose his heir, how big of a crime would this be! It was all thanks to the two of them that they were still able to laugh.
But seeing that everyone was happy, the Huo Yiming did not intentionally attack them. It was rare for his brothers to get together, and that was what he wanted to see.
They went to the most famous restaurant in the capital, which had rooms reserved for Teng Yu all year round. In the past, he would eat and drink here whenever he played the role of a popinjay, but this was the first time he came together with Yin Xu.
“Yo, Your Highness hasn’t come for a long time. I thought you forgot about our restaurant.” The second brother was a young man who knew how to talk well, he had a pretty face, and Yin Xu thought that the two must have been up to something before as he looked at the young man’s grieving face.
Teng Yu embraced Yin Xu’s shoulder as he stood at the top of the stairs, laughing loudly: “This prince is happy today, so I won’t bother with you anymore. Feel free to serve up good wine and dishes, all the guests who eat here today will be charged to my account.”
Cheers came from the audience as they asked one after another, “Is that true?”
“It’s hard to keep up with a promise, why would I need to lie to you for such a small amount of money?” After saying that, he brought the Huo Family brothers upstairs.
After their figures completely disappeared, the guests below began to loudly discuss amongst themselves.
“Is that person who went up there the Third Prince? It seems that the last time I saw him was a year ago.
“Brother, are you an outsider? Or just returned from outside? “
“I am a travelling merchant. I do business in the southern part of the country. I only make a trip to the capital once a year.”
“So that’s how it is. No wonder you don’t know, Third Prince has changed to a more righteous state now. Last year, he even did two big things. His reputation is very good.”
“Tch, this little brother really knows how to make things up. A person’s nature is not so easy to change, I also heard that last year, Third Prince only gained fame for nothing, and the people who did all that were underlings.”
“I don’t agree with that, if there wasn’t a Third Prince watching over the disaster relief operation, how could it have gone so smoothly? Without the Third Prince, who would dare to touch those senior officials in the south? “
“Then why didn’t you say that he was intimate with a man and that he was a degenerate?”
“That is Master Huo Qi! What’s wrong with a man? If I can get the favor of that young master, I’ll accept that man! “
“Haha …” The surrounding people laughed out loud as they scolded him, “You little toad, you want to eat swan meat? Beautiful!”
“That might not be the case. Didn’t you say that the young master embezzled a lot of money?” In my opinion, people who can be with Third Prince, their character is not that great. ” a young man in a white bachelor’s uniform said, fanning himself.
The second brother was carrying the dishes onto the table, and upon hearing these words, he put the dishes down heavily and sneered: “This lord actually looks down on Third Prince and Master Huo Qi, don’t eat this free lunch today, just remember to pay later! “Don’t be so cheap and act so good!”
“Haha …” The crowd burst into laughter again, “Those words make sense, today Third Prince is treating us, if there’s anyone who doesn’t like it, they can pay for it themselves.”
“Oh right, the young masters who followed Third Prince look like they have Huo Family.”
“Eh …” I think it’s true, I know that young master. When he came back earlier, I went to greet him at the city gate. “
“Speaking of Huo Family, have you all heard of yesterday’s matter?” Someone whispered.
“That …” Who didn’t know that the marshal had been impeached this morning? Hmph! “Those civil officials love to gossip. If they have the ability, they would lead their men to war!”
“Does that mean you believe in the Marshal Huo?”
“Of course, Huo Family is the Marshal family’s pillar, and Huo Family Army is the pillar of our family. If we cannot even trust Marshal Huo, will we still be able to sit here and eat and drink peacefully?”
“But we don’t know what happened in the Northwest!”
“That’s right, the person reporting this matter is said to be one of the Marshal Huo’s trusted aides, and he risked his life to reveal it, so it might be true.”
Don’t listen to his nonsense, I have a brother in the Huo Family Army, he said that our Lord Marshal was the most selfless of all, never falling behind in his army, never retreating when he went on to kill the enemy, and their pay was very timely as well.
This is true, Huo Family Army has today’s achievements, I do not believe that you are afraid of living and would collude with the barbarians. Marshal Huo’s family lives in seclusion, and never had such bullying.
“As the saying goes, one cannot judge a book by its cover …”
“Hey, what do you mean by that? could it be that there is enmity with Huo Family? “
“Just now when we were arranging the Third Prince, you didn’t even let the few elders of the Huo Family go. It seems like you are here to deliberately spread the rumors, right?” When everyone heard this, they immediately glared at him.
Everyone knew how these rumors came about. If no one was behind this incident, it would have been impossible for everyone to know about it in a single day.
Thus, when the people who trusted Marshal Huo heard someone slander him, they couldn’t help but get angry.
“From what I see, he’s just like a dog. I didn’t expect his heart to be so vicious!”
“That’s right, what benefits does it bring to you? Why don’t you people think of the people of the northwest! Why didn’t you think that the only way we can live a comfortable life is through Huo Family Army and our lives! “
The crowd became more and more indignant. Afterwards, the two burly men threw the youth out of the restaurant, “Pei, this kind of person better not stay here and pollute the environment!”
Upstairs, in the private room, Teng Yu and the others were listening with interest.
They were all martial artists with sharp ears and sharp eyes, so what happened downstairs didn’t escape their ears.
“It seems like the public opinion is still on our side.” The Huo Yiming heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that there were some things that could not be explained, as clearing the matter up was not suitable for martial generals.
From ancient times until now, many martial artists had been framed and died. Their mouths opened and closed, and it could be said that their Huo Family was the enemy selling their countries. Who knew how much effort and life their Huo Family had expended for the great pillars?
Not to mention the fact that two of his brothers had died in battle in this generation of Huo Yiming, why would they fight so hard if it wasn’t for this Great Liang Mountain and the common people?
If even the commoners did not trust them, then their hearts would truly be chilled.
Teng Yu frowned and shook his head, reminding him: “This is just the beginning, it’s normal for the citizens to not believe it, but if they can still take out more evidence, public opinion will slowly shift.”
“Where is the evidence? However, these are all empty promises, and even if there were, it would be just a fabrication. “
“Is the evidence important?” Will the people go to the northwest? They will only believe what they see. Even if they initially thought that the evidence was fake, as long as more people said it, it would become true. “
Huo Yiming frowned and downed a cup of strong alcohol. “But Father did not want me to take the initiative.
Teng Yu poured a cup of wine for him and comforted him, “Big brother, do not worry, the marshal has his own considerations. If we don’t let the mastermind behind all of these take action, it would be hard for us to cure them.
Yin Xu was eating his pastries, and upon hearing this, he raised his head and rolled his eyes at Teng Yu. They had not even gotten married, yet his big brother had already called out for him.
The Huo Yiming did not notice this address and asked worriedly, “Then, shall we allow them to slander our Huo Family’s reputation? Furthermore, in my opinion, even if the evidence is false, the Emperor will still treat it as true. “
Looking at the situation today in the morning assembly, it was obvious that they were sparing no effort to put Huo Family to death.
Teng Yu did not speak anymore, and changed the topic with a smile, “Today is a happy day, let’s not talk about all these troublesome matters. Come, drink!”
