The next day, Mu Yunyao received news from Steward Qin: All the salt merchants investigated before were killed except Jiang Jin, who was rescued from serious injuries. She wrote a reply letter and asked Steward Qin to take good care of Jiang Jin. Saving people, this may be the only witness among the salt merchants.
After a while, Siqin walked in with the confession: "Miss, Tongzhi Linjiang has confessed."
"Well, now go and bring over the head of the Linjiang county government office who dredged the river."
Siqin was slightly taken aback when he heard the words: "Miss, is there also a problem with the clerk of Linjiang County?" The clerk looked concerned about the people, and even took the lead in repairing the river when other officials did not act, and also treated the disaster victims. She was very attentive. During this period of time, whether it was distributing food or distributing soup, she was the first to rush in front. She recalled it carefully and found no problems.
.
The light in Mu Yunyao's eyes was cold: "If there was no guidance from the master bookkeeper, how could I find out that there is a problem with Tongzhi Linjiang? Besides, I didn't say that he had any big problem, just called him over. say something."
"Yes, the slaves are going to bring people here."
When the clerk of Linjiang County was brought over, he was still stained with the dried muddy marks, and when he saw Mu Yunyao, he hurriedly bowed and apologized: "It is extremely rude to meet the county master in a messy dress, please forgive the county master. ."
"Master Master is too polite, come here, show Master Master a tea."
Siqin prepared a seat, and then stood on the side of Mu Yunyao, so that he could protect him at any time.
Mu Yunyao raised her eyes with a faint smile on her lips: "Is everything all right, His Royal Highness King Ling?"
The clerk shook his hand holding the tea cup and looked up at Mu Yunyao in confusion: "What is the meaning of the county lord, why can't the lower official understand?"
Mu Yunyao tapped on the confession at hand: "I don't understand it in the big mouth, I should be like a mirror in my heart. Tongzhi Linjiang has already explained what he did, and it is really appalling to see the accusations one after another. ."
"Linjiang Tongzhi committed a crime, why doesn't the lower official know?"
Mu Yunyao let out a low laugh and motioned Siqin to hand him the confession of Tongzhi Linjiang at hand to check: "Look carefully, is there any omission?" Seeing the contents of the confession, Linjiang County Government Office The master's eyes flickered, and the look of shock flashed in his heart: "This... forged salt tax account books, forged salt tax and silver, destroyed evidence, blew up river embankments, so that three cities were flooded, and countless people were displaced... This... This is too appalling
smelled. "
Mu Yunyao looked at the master who was good at singing and writing, with a cold smile on the corners of her lips: "You have been with Tongzhi Linjiang for so long, you should know what he is like. Isn't it strange that it took only a blink of an eye, why is he like this? confession soon?"
Lin Jiangxian's master was stunned for a moment, and his figure froze involuntarily. "I gave Linjiang Tongzhi a kind of poison. This kind of poison is extremely overbearing. After taking it, you need to take the antidote every half an hour. , Itchy biting, people can't wait to tear off the whole skin, use force
Scratching will make the pain tenfold, and that kind of contradictory feeling, can the master clerk want to experience it? "
"Your Majesty, you are too good at joking, is there such a poison in the world?" "There are so many wonders in the world, haven't you heard of this sentence? Besides, this kind of medicine is not too rare, I I have seen a more domineering one. After taking it, the whole body will slowly decay. From the inside out, even the bones will slowly decay into residues. Only
The skin on the outside is good, but even so, this person still can't die, and finally turns into a pus wrapped in human skin..."
The master couldn't help clutching his chest and retching. The expression on his face was extremely poor. He looked at Mu Yunyao with a look full of fear, such a girl with such a beautiful face and a slender body, but her methods were so bloody and cruel. As soon as people saw her face, they couldn't stop the chills in their hearts.
Mu Yunyao looked at him: "Why is the reaction so big, don't worry, if you cooperate well, I will not use these two poisons on you. After all, you are from His Royal Highness King Ling, why should I give it to you? Save some face, my uncle."
"Master, I really don't understand what you mean." "You don't need to understand, you just need to report my words back to your master, remember, it's the real master. I took over Linjiang City, and I will give the confession of Linjiang Tongzhi. I will report it to the emperor truthfully. As for the rest, when King Yu comes down, he will check them out one by one, and then report them up. So
, don't operate those methods secretly, after all, once these things break out, the emperor will not say anything in anger, and his reputation among the common people will be reduced to the extreme! I think, your master doesn't want such a result, right? "
Facing Mu Yunyao's penetrating eyes, the master's face became paler and paler, and his expression became a little panicked: "The county master..."
"My patience is also limited. If you say that you don't understand what I mean, then I will send someone else to help me. Anyway, in Linjiang City, there is more than one person who can contact the capital. What do you think? ?"
"...Yes, the lower official understands, and he must convey the meaning of the county master verbatim."
Mu Yunyao raised the corners of her lips: "Okay, you really are a smart person, where did King Yu get blocked?" "This... I don't know..." The master wanted to shake his head in denial, but Mu Yunyao seemed to be smiling. Fei smiled, and thinking of her threat again, she couldn't help but grit her teeth, "His Royal Highness Jin privately used rocks to cut off the official road into Linjiang City, and incited the victims to make trouble, trapping His Royal Highness Yu in the entrance.
On the road before Tongling City. "
"Understood, Master Chief, let's get down to work."
"Yes."
When the head of the Linjiang county government office withdrew, Mu Yunyao brought over the confession from Tongzhi Linjiang.
"Miss, can you believe what Linjiang Tongzhi said?"
"We can't believe it by his own words. We lack physical evidence now." Mu Yunyao shook his head slightly.
"I'm afraid it's hard to find physical evidence? After all, the river burst, and many things were washed away, and I don't know where they went."
Mu Yunyao shook her head: "No, we will be able to see the physical evidence soon."
"Ah? Miss has already thought of a way to find physical evidence?"
"Do you think that I just called my Linjiang County clerk just to say those two words?"
"Isn't it?" "As soon as we entered Linjiang City, we saw some old and weak women and children in the city, but no young and strong men. At first, I thought that those strong men were all repairing the river with the county government official book. , but seeing those who repair the river, I am sure that many of them are definitely not ordinary people. Moreover, the river has been repaired for more than half a month, without piling or dike protection, only with people on both sides of the river. Digging, searching, what do you say they're doing?"
