Douluo: The soul travels to Xu Yunhan and vows to marry Tang Wutong!

Chapter 73 73. Deceiving the King
After many twists and turns, the four of them finally settled down in a small room in the innermost layer of the treasure house of Yuan Mansion. Wow, I have to say that the decoration of the treasure house of Yuan Mansion is really good, and it is comparable to the most luxurious hotel in Hanjiang City.

"Come, Dong'er, eat an orange." Xu Yunhan peeled the orange, tore off a small piece and put it next to little Dong'er's mouth.

Xiao Dong'er pouted, pushed Xu Yunhan's hand away, and snatched the whole orange from his other hand.

The four of them had prepared some food long before leaving the hotel. In addition, Xu Yunhan could use his soul power to make oranges. Even if the four of them did not have supplies later, there would be no problem for them to stay in the treasure house of Yuan Mansion for more than half a month.

This is the most hidden room in the treasure house, which stores the soul bones of the Yuan Mansion and various cultivation resources. Ordinary servants should not be qualified to come here, which greatly reduces the possibility of them being exposed.

On the other hand, with the efforts of Yuan Mao and others, they finally found clues about the four people from a large number of reports.

In the past two days, a young man who was nearly two meters tall, had a feminine look and was wearing a brocade robe, was active in the South Gate area. And beside him, there was always a girl with long blue-pink hair.

Combining the simulated portraits of the four people, Yuan Mao and others were able to conclude that the young man in brocade robe must be the image of the sturdy woman disguised as a man.

After getting the clue, Yuan Mao and others acted decisively, set up surveillance at the hotel where the strong woman was staying, and blocked the entire South Gate area.

In Hanjiang Hotel, Yuan Mao brought several fighting soul saints disguised as room service. After knocking on the door several times without success, they forcibly broke down the door of the room, and a group of soul masters broke into the room.

The room was empty, with a piece of rag hanging from the beam, with two big words "Goodbye" written on it!
"Grass!"

Yuan Mao couldn't help but swear. In this situation, not only did their hard work for the day go to waste, but the most important thing was, how were they going to explain to Xu Jiujiu tomorrow morning?

Should we tell Her Royal Highness the Princess that they underestimated the four "bandits" and that they had not achieved anything after two days of surveillance. Should we finally get a clue but still acted several steps too late?
How could he say such words!

If he was labeled as incompetent by Xu Jiujiu, Yuan Mao's official career would be over.

No, he can't give in!
Yuan Mao looked around the layout of the room, then looked at a few of his close associates, and an extremely unethical plan instantly came to his mind.

At this moment, a thunderous sound spread throughout the Hanjiang Hotel. When the sound was heard, an official from the City Lord's Mansion immediately walked down the stairs and mobilized the law enforcement team stationed outside the hotel to enter the hotel to maintain order.

……

Snapped!
Xu Jiujiu slammed the table hard, looked at Yuan Mao in front of him, and said unkindly: "You mean... after getting the news, you immediately surrounded Hanjiang Hotel, and fought with the tall woman in a room on the second floor. As a result, the other party only used a functional soul guide to escape from the encirclement you set up?" "No, no, no, Your Highness, I'm sure that the strong woman definitely did not escape from our control." Yuan Mao swallowed and continued: "As far as I know, there is a soul guide on the market that can force soul masters to move, but the distance of displacement will not be particularly far. This time, the entire South City Gate area is within our blockade. I believe that with the search of my colleagues in Hanjiang Guard, we will be able to capture the other party's trace before dawn."

Well, Yuan Mao is really harming others and not benefiting himself. He is clearly incompetent, but through his actions, he has pushed all the responsibility onto Han Jiangwei.

As long as they couldn't find any trace of that strong woman, it would be because the Hanjiang Guards were not searching seriously and the officers at all levels were negligent in their duties, and it had nothing to do with him, Yuan Mao.

Xu Jiujiu was young, and she had not dealt with many of those experienced officials. After hearing Yuan Mao's explanation, she felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

On the other side, Leng Zhuoqing, the commander of the Hanjiang Guard, suddenly took two steps forward, bowed to Xu Jiujiu who was sitting on the main seat and said, "Your Highness, this is only Yuan Mao's one-sided statement. He has no evidence to prove that the strong woman was still in the hotel when he arrived."

Before Xu Jiujiu could speak, Yuan Mao hurriedly explained, "Leng Zhuoqing, what do you mean? Did you, the Hanjiang Guards, reach a deal with those four bandits, and are you in a hurry to get yourself out?"

Leng Zhuoqing said coldly: "May I ask City Lord Yuan, if you really met that strong woman, would you still rush to come to His Highness and report this news?"

Hearing this, Yuan Mao panicked. He was anxious to get this done, but ignored this flaw. Only he knew that searching according to the intelligence he provided would definitely yield nothing.

Yuan Mao was not in charge of the scene, but he rushed to report the matter to Xu Jiujiu. This was his biggest flaw. Even if he had a hundred mouths, he couldn't explain it clearly.

Do we have to ask him to say that he doesn't like credit and is willing to give most of the credit to Hanjiang Wei?
If you say this, even a three-year-old child would not believe it, let alone for a long time.

As an official, an official with real power, he must be thick-skinned. Knowing that he could not clear himself, Yuan Mao knelt down immediately, bowed three times to Xu Jiujiu, and said, "Your Highness, it's all my fault. I just wanted to share your worries. As long as the four bandits are not caught, Your Highness will be in danger. Now, many officials can't stand the pressure from below and dissuade Your Highness from lifting the ban. I am only considering Your Highness's safety and making up this report to stop those officials from talking nonsense."

For a long time: "..."

Leng Zhuoqing: "..."

Yuan Mao is so shameless. You obviously wanted to push the blame to Hanjiang Wei, but it seems like you are wholeheartedly serving the master. How can there be such a shameless person in this world?
Xu Jiujiu is just a little young, but she is not a fool. No matter how eloquent Yuan Mao is, he cannot cover up the fact that he is deceiving his superiors and hiding the truth from his subordinates.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiujiu gave Leng Zhuoqing a look. Leng Zhuoqing understood and quickly bowed down and said loudly: "Your Highness, I want to impeach Hanjiang City Lord Yuan Mao. In order to cover up his incompetence, he made up a series of lies to deceive Your Highness. This is truly an act of deceiving the emperor. Hanjiang City is a major city in our Xingluo Empire. We cannot let such a person control the lifeline of our Xingluo Empire!"
