Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

King Yue held Mu Yunyao's hand and put it on his chest: "Yao'er, I have a lot of selfishness. I clearly know that you shouldn't be involved in this matter, but I am reluctant to let you go. If we are successfully plotted, I'm afraid it will be over. If you are going to die here, will you regret it?"

Mu Yunyao couldn't help but raised the corners of her lips, tilted her head slightly, and looked at him with moist eyes without blinking: "If I regret it, will Fourth Master let me go?"

"Won't."

"Then I won't regret it. Besides, if they want to count our lives, it depends on whether they have the ability!"

King Yue couldn't help chuckling, his eyes twinkled with starlight, and every time he saw Mu Yunyao's victorious appearance, he felt proud from the bottom of his heart: "Who was sent to relieve the disaster this time?"

"His Royal Highness King Yu."

"Second brother...With him here, we will be more confident."

Mu Yunyao nodded, and took out the purse embroidered with ingot patterns from her sleeve: "Fourth Master, this was found in the cellar of the courtyard behind the Linjiang City Government Office. After you came here, what happened? What's the matter?"

Mu Yunyao still called King Yue Fourth Lord, but instead of honoring you, she changed it to you. Neither of them said it clearly, but they both felt that the title Fourth Lord had a special meaning to them.

King Yue's eyes sank slightly, and he narrated his previous experience: "I was ordered by my father to come here to check the case of the salt tax deficit. The account books are perfect, even the amount of the tax bank is completely correct, and there is no trace of deficit. But I found that the person guarding the tax bank warehouse looked extremely nervous, and then I quietly went back to the warehouse again while no one was paying attention. In the survey, it was found that all the so-called tax silver was fired with clay mixed with iron sand, but it was only coated with a layer of silver on the outside."

"The two ingots of tax silver that I found in the pond in Linjiangyuan were fourth masters who took them out of the warehouse?"

"Well, my every move in the south of the Yangtze River has been closely watched. The two ingots of silver are too conspicuous to carry with me, so I marked them and placed them in Linjiang Garden. Linjiang Garden is the salt merchant Zhou Huai of Linjiang City. In order to contact salt merchants from all over the world, it was built to please local officials, and many boys and girls were raised in it, all of whom were carefully trained and used to seduce people's hearts, and I don't know how many people fell for it."

Mu Yunyao raised her eyebrows slightly: "Si Ye had the opportunity to hide the fake tax money in Linjiang Garden. Could it be that the salt merchant also invited you to Linjiang Garden, and wants to treat you well?"

King Yue was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slowly: "Don't worry, Yao'er, I will be loyal to you no matter in body or mind."

Mu Yunyao pursed her lips and smiled, and snorted inwardly: If King Yue had a double heart, she would have an extra life in her hands.

"They wanted to use those methods to please me, but after finding out that I was not allowed to enter, they secretly drugged me and imprisoned me in the cellar you mentioned. During the detention, they thought that I had escaped without a trace. When I opened the door, I relaxed my vigilance a little, and I collected a lot of information. These salt merchants were frightened by the salt tax case in Yangzhou City before, and they wanted to find a backer, so they turned their ideas on King Jin. I was also worried that King Jin would disdain to accept them, so I thought about pulling King Jin into a boat first, so secretly in the name of filial piety, I sent the salt tax and tax silver to a part of the capital and handed it over to King Jin for flower use."

Mu Yunyao suddenly thought: "It's no wonder Jin Wang spends so much money." Naturally, he didn't feel bad for getting so much money for nothing.

"Seeing that the King of Jin accepted them, the salt merchants became more courageous. They sold illegal salt in the south of the Yangtze River, secretly raising the price of salt, and wanted to earn back the lost silver. They just stared at the fat meat in the south of the Yangtze River. King Jin is far from the only one. After we let King Ling discover the actions of King Jin and the salt merchants through the same name, he secretly tried to expose the matter. In addition, you and I stretched out our hands to Yang Lian, which made it even more difficult. The salt merchants panicked. So they came up with a method of forging salt tax account books and counterfeiting salt tax tax credits."

Mu Yunyao couldn't help but sneered: "These people are really daring."

"The amount involved in the salt tax, tax and silver is too large. If the court traces it down, even if the nine clans will not be implicated, the three clans will not be able to escape. Anyway, they have already taken the risk once, and this time there is King Jin behind their backs." They became more and more confident when they made plans to support them. At first, they just wanted to sink the ship carrying salt tax and silver on the river. After King Ling found out, he wanted to make things big, so he wanted to make Linjiang angry. Afterwards, when the matter is revealed, the emperor will be furious, and King Jin will be scolded by the people all over the world."

Mu Yunyao's eyes were cold and cold: "In order to make things big, and to target Jin Wang, he even disregarded the lives of so many people on both sides of the Linjiang River. This His Highness Ling Wang is really cold-blooded."

"I didn't expect that the eldest brother turned the cart before the horse. But compared to controlling people's hearts, King Ling is no better than King Jin. A spies appeared around him, and he told King Jin about the plan. King Jin will plan, even me. , I want to kill me by the hands of King Ling, and then expose the matter of him blowing up the embankment."

Mu Yunyao thought about it carefully, and felt a little puzzled: "Fourth Master, according to what you said, it has been more than 20 days since the river broke its embankment, and there has never been a fight between King Ling and King Jin, and there are not even many rumors spreading. ..."

"Because they couldn't find each other's evidence, something went wrong when they blew up the embankment. The river was too fierce. Many people of King Ling and King Jin were killed and injured, which caught them off guard."

"The matter is so big, isn't there any useful evidence left?"

King Yue slightly hooked his lips and smiled: "Of course there are, but I have hidden them."

Mu Yunyao was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened: "Fourth Master is hiding?" King Ling and King Jin broke their heads, but they didn't want King Yue to benefit from it. This is really a mountain higher than a mountain.

"Well, in fact, I have to thank you very much. You asked Liuliang to send three letters before, one of which explained your guess and asked me to pay attention to the Linjiang embankment, and the other two imitated the handwriting of King Ling and King Jin respectively for convenience I have won the trust of others. After knowing that the salt tax tax silver was fake, I asked people to investigate the salt merchants who were attached to King Jin, and at the same time looked for the craftsmen who forged the official silver. There is a lot of official silver, and there is also a lot of clay and iron sand. I found some clues from private kilns in various places, so I rushed to Yishui City overnight."

"Could it be that the fake tax money came from Yishui City?"

"Well, because the matter is too urgent, after I came here, I didn't dare to delay at all. I used the letter you gave me to track down an important physical evidence, the mold used to burn the fake tax silver. This is what King Ling has been doing. looking for."
