Wu Minzhi heard that Li Yuanyi was willing to see him, and his heart suddenly relaxed: So it seems that the first prince and Li Yuanyi really plan to let them go!
"I have seen Mr. Li."
Li Yuan glanced at Wu Minzhi, and his eyes were full of smiles: "Leader Wu doesn't need to be too polite, these days, the salt administration in the south of the Yangtze River is in turmoil, and this official has been busy investigating, so I didn't see leader Wu last time. Don't worry about it." Wu Minzhi quickly stood up: "What did Mr. Li say, Mr. Li is in charge of every day, and it is fortunate that you can take the time to see me. I have heard about these things that happened in Yangzhou City, such as salt merchants. , I know that it is hard for the adults to try the case, so I gave some small gifts, I hope the adults can laugh at it
. "
Saying that, he sent the box he was holding in his hand.
As soon as Li Yuan opened the box, he glanced at it slightly, and the smile deepened in his eyes: "Fortunately, there is a leader Wu in Jiangnan, so that the transportation of salt can always be stable."
"Don't deserve your praise, this time... I would like to thank you for finding out the case, otherwise the emperor will be angry and say that we salt merchants will also be implicated." Wu Minzhi was full of gratitude.
The two chatted happily for half an hour before Wu Minzhi got up and said goodbye.
Li Yuanyi received an informative letter from others in a hurry, and only then did he find the hidden salt. He hadn't investigated the whole matter, so he didn't say much, and just dealt with it shallowly.
Wu Minzhi, on the other hand, did not dare to say more because he was afraid that the partition would have ears because of the importance of framing it. The two of them have secrets in their hearts, so they only choose some nice compliments to talk about, no one has to name the key, but let Qi Ming be safe and worry-free.
Things in the south of the Yangtze River were going on in a hurry, and news reached Jingling City within a few days.
As soon as King Yue received the news, he asked steward Qin to send someone to invite Mu Yunyao over. After reading the letter sent by Jiangnan, Mu Yunyao couldn't help but smile: "This Mr. Li is really resolute. In just a few days, the salt transport envoy of Jiangnan committed suicide, and the officials in charge of transporting salt confessed. Only the salt transport envoy Si Yun did not open his mouth, but he couldn't lift it by himself.
There was too much wind. "None of these people are clean, and they deserve to die." King Yue's eyes were slightly cold. After speaking, he was afraid that Mu Yunyao would feel uncomfortable seeing so many people being implicated, so he explained, "What they transported is salt from Baihuahua, but what they earn is blood." of silver on each hand
There are a lot of bloodstains, and now it is considered to be dead. Mu Yunyao chuckled, she didn't care about the lives of those people at all, but King Yue was willing to misunderstand, and she didn't bother to explain: "Fourth Master, Master Li is proud of the spring breeze now. will be re-shipped to the north, what are your thoughts
"
King Yue's eyes moved abruptly, he raised his eyes and looked at Mu Yunyao intently: "Are you still thinking about this batch of salt?"
Mu Yunyao tilted her head and smiled: "I just asked the fourth master, but I didn't say anything?" But steward Qin on the side couldn't help but be shocked: Because of this batch of salt, Miss Mu first came from the salt merchants. He extorted more than 10 million taels of silver from his body, and then the prince sold the batch of salt for more than 15 million taels. After going back and forth, it was nearly 30 million taels of silver.
It can rise to the sky, but Miss Mu is still thinking about this batch of salt. Could it be that she still wants to grab this batch of salt and sell it again
King Yue looked at the smiling Mu Yunyao with bright eyes: "Then is there anything else you want to ask?"
The smile in Mu Yunyao's eyes was even stronger, and she said half-jokingly: "Since the fourth master has spoken, then I will ask everything I want to ask?"
But he didn't want King Yue to have a serious face when he heard the words, and turned to look at Steward Qin: "Uncle Qin, don't let a fifth ear appear around."
Steward Qin nodded solemnly, then went out and ordered Henghe Yu Yi: "Clean up the surrounding of the study, even if there are mice, block the hole for me!"
After a while, the surrounding of the study was completely quiet, and King Yue looked at Mu Yunyao: "If you have any questions, just ask." "The fourth master is so formal, I don't know what to ask." Mu Yun Yao blinked her eyes slightly, she was a little stunned and couldn't return to her senses. She just mentioned it casually to see if King Yue was still earning a fortune. one
Time does not respond.
"You can say whatever you want, and when you're done, I have something to ask you."
Mu Yunyao's eyes moved, looking at King Yue's slightly serious expression, her heart tightened slightly: "If you want to ask the fourth master, just ask."
"You ask first."
"Then if I ask, the fourth master can make sure that what he tells me is the truth?" The smile on Mu Yunyao's face was slightly cold, and her eyes were staring at King Yue.
King Yue frowned and didn't answer.
Mu Yunyao raised the corners of her lips coldly, and her heart was full of unspeakable sarcasm: "Fourth Master, just pretend that I didn't say anything, it's getting late, I want to go back to accompany my mother, so I'm not here. It's more than that."
He was full of temptation to himself, but he hoped that he would be frank and right. Where in the world could there be such a thing
"Stop!" King Yue stood up, walked slowly to Mu Yunyao's side, lowered his eyes to look at her beautiful and unparalleled face, and the fluctuating light in his eyes gradually calmed down, "You ask!"
Mu Yunyao's heart trembled, and she was a little unsure of what King Yue meant: "Did the Fourth Master say anything I asked?"
"good."
"Can you guarantee that you're telling the truth?"
"There is nothing to say, nothing to say!"
King Yue's body was cold, and his tall figure almost enveloped Mu Yunyao. An aggressive aura hit Mu Yunyao's heart, making her seem frightened and couldn't help but take two steps back.
King Yue's eyes were blazing, and his expression was unprecedentedly focused. What he did was extremely secretive. If it was an ordinary person who wanted to spy on the secrets, he would make the other party's blood splatter on the spot when he opened his mouth.
But now that the person who asked the question was Mu Yunyao, he didn't even see the slightest resistance in his heart. Instead, he wanted to blurt out all the secrets that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time. Looking at Mu Yunyao's crystal-clear eyes, an urge surged up in his heart, he wanted Mu Yunyao to understand him, who he was, what he did, and the beautiful expectations and shady feelings in his heart. Cold-blooded and violent, as long as Mu Yunyao wants to know, he is willing to let go of all his defenses
, fully displayed in front of her.
He has always been ruthless and firm in his heart and never makes impulsive decisions, but this idea made him hard to resist when he came out, and there was a crazy idea in his heart, clamoring for it, and he took a gamble and sent the softest place in his heart to Mu Yunyao. !
If he wins the bet, he can hug Mu Yunyao with this kind of softness and fill up his empty heart; if he loses the bet, he just inserts a steel knife in his heart, anyway, it's already dripping with blood, so why not be afraid of more How many scars? "Yunyao, just ask."
