Hearing that the silver in his hand was the official silver, the emperor's whole body suddenly cooled down: "How could it be the official silver?" Shen Binghuai knelt on the ground, even though he has always been upright, there was a trace of sweat on his forehead at this time. : "Reporting to the emperor, Wei Chen led people to search for more than 9,000 silver ingots from the beggars, and caught those victims for questioning, but found that they were very tight-lipped and faced officials.
When asked by the government, he was extremely calm, not like an ordinary commoner at all. "
"It's not a commoner, could it be someone disguised?" The emperor narrowed his eyes suddenly, thinking of the missing tax silver in Jiangnan.
According to the investigation file sent by King Yu, the more than three million taels of silver that Jiangnan was deficient in were replaced with clay lumps mixed with iron sand, but the real tax silver was nowhere to be found. And now, suddenly found a large amount of silver suspected of official silver in the capital, how could it be such a coincidence
Princess Yide raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows: "I've been out shopping for a long time, and I feel very tired. Emperor, I thought I'd go back first. You should go back to the palace earlier." If the matter is serious, start earlier Investigations will give you more opportunities to find out the truth.
"Sister Huang, I will come to play with you another day." With so many officials and silver involved, the emperor no longer has the mind to hang out.
"Okay, when the emperor has time to come again."
The emperor left in a hurry, and Princess Yide also stood up: "Yao'er, let's go back too."
"Yes, grandmother."
Mu Yunyao accompanied Princess Yide back to Qinfang Garden, Xu Yanhan accompanied him to talk, and then went down to prepare the food for dinner.
Princess Yide asked with a smile, "What would Yao'er want for dinner?"
Mu Yunyao stood up, walked up to Princess Yide, and knelt down: "Grandmother, today's events were designed by Yao'er, take advantage of your birthday to expose the case of true and false tax and silver, and also invite grandmother I'm sorry."
Princess Yide's smile remained unchanged: "Get up, it's not a big deal, why should the family care so much?"
However, Mu Yunyao shook her head: "If it were someone else, I could use it without mercy, and I wouldn't take it to heart. It is because you are my relative that I feel uncomfortable using you."
Princess Yide bent down and helped Mu Yunyao up: "Don't worry about this, besides, you are just using the convenience of my birthday, and what you did didn't hurt me one bit, don't be so concerned, tell me well Let's talk about it, what's going on." "Grandmother, this is a long story. At the beginning, King Yue and I suspected that the silver liang in King Jin's hand was not coming from the right way, so we started to investigate and found that Su Jin of the Su family was there. Her husband, Yang Lian, was involved with the King of Jin, so he used him to bribe officials and change the grades in the performance appraisal.
put him in jail. After the interrogation, it was found that he was closely involved with the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, and even secretly served as a bridge for the salt merchants to pave the way to the capital, and the backstage he took was His Royal Highness King Jin. "
Princess Yide suddenly said: "The news from King Ling should have been deliberately sent by you and King Yue, right?" "Yes, the power around King Yue is insufficient, and I am afraid it will be difficult to fight against King Jin alone. It was successful. So, I told King Ling the news and asked him and the Li family to help make things worse. I just didn't expect that the emperor would ask His Royal Highness King Yue to go to Jiangnan to investigate the salt tax case.
The game between the king and the king of Jin turned out to be so big that the embankment was blown up, affecting so many innocent people. "
"Then what about the silver?" "My Highness King Yue and I only later realized that the salt merchants did not pay the tax and silver at all, but folded the silver they should have paid into a silver note and secretly sent it into the hands of His Royal Highness King Jin of Kyoto. , And the account books and silver on the Jiangnan salt tax are all fake. The salt merchants have the protection of the King of Jin, thinking that they can imitate the old example of the previous Yangzhou city salt tax case, and directly let the official ship carrying the salt tax tax silver. It sank on the Linjiang River, and let the fake silver taels sink into the water. After that, you can find no evidence and be safe. However, the investigation of His Royal Highness King Yue in Jiangnan made the King of Jin and the salt merchants panic. Wang was staring at him, and after a combination of several things, the incident of blowing up the river embankment broke out. His Royal Highness King Yue wanted to stop it, but his ability was limited and he was unsuccessful. He could only try his best to find evidence and found a fake tax silver , and found some fake silver taels,
He also rescued a salt merchant and pieced together the original truth from his mouth. "
Princess Yide frowned: "King Jin has really gone too far." The human heart is really the most sinister thing in this world. "Thanks to your grandmother for this matter, you moved Concubine Zhen in the palace and let the Li family take the opportunity to eradicate Concubine Zhen's family. His Royal Highness King Yue conducted an investigation and found a large number of silver notes in the hands of Concubine Zhen's brothers. It was hidden in secret. The silver that the emperor found on the beggars today was
It's just that the appearance is the same as the official silver, and a part of the silver is deliberately cut off to confuse the public. "
Princess Yide thought for a moment, and then understood the reason: "The salt merchants sent silver notes into the capital, and they were secretly hidden by King Yue, so today's silver coins were deliberately prepared by the two of you? "Yes, grandmother, I was not willing to escape the guilt of King Jin so easily, so I secretly prepared silver taels, and then released false news to His Royal Highness King Ling. In fact, the official who broke the beggar with silver today is King Ling. It was arranged, and everything was found out later, and I didn't have anything with King Yue.
It doesn't matter at all. "
Mu Yunyao didn't know why she told her grandmother everything so frankly. She was afraid that her mother would think she was deeply thoughtful, but facing her grandmother, she had no such concerns at all. "The matter of your juniors is naturally yours to solve. If you don't have that kind of character and ability, you will only hurt more people in the end. There have always been many disputes in the heavenly family, brother. , Husband and wife, sisters... Rarely can go all the way to the end, no matter you and Yue
How Wang uses tactics and strategies, he must be honest with each other, and when using others, he must also distinguish whether there is true love or not, and do not do things that make him regret. "
"Yes, please rest assured my grandfather, I will definitely control the proportions." With the old lady of the Su family, Sun's reference, she will not let herself go to a dead end. Anyone can take advantage of it, and in the end, he will become a pawn in other people's calculations.
Princess Yide looked at Mu Yunyao with a deep look of satisfaction in her eyes: "Yao'er, go forward well, you will definitely be able to go farther than your grandmother."
Hearing this, Mu Yunyao's heart tightened, and she suddenly asked, "Grandmother, if your Highness Yue Wang wants to fight for that seat, what percentage of the chances are you going to win?" "As long as Yue Wang is willing, that seat will be him. Yes." Princess Yide's tone was extraordinarily determined, "What's more, now that you and King Yue have come together, if you choose him, your grandmother will spare no effort to help you."
