Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Officials from Ling Palace came and went, and many of them had expressions of excitement and excitement on their faces.

Qi Ming was announced: "I have met His Royal Highness King Ling."

"I remember that Yi Baoxuan also has a store in Jiangnan."

Qi Ming nodded: "Reporting to Your Highness, there is indeed a storefront, what orders does His Highness have?"

"Yi Baoxuan originated in Jiangnan, how is its influence in Jiangnan?"

"When Yibaoxuan was established, His Royal Highness Jin Wang said that he could climb up by stepping on Niyunfang, so wherever there is Niyunfang, there must be Yibaoxuan. Although the reputation cannot be compared with Niyunfang, its influence is also great. not bad."

A light flashed in King Ling's eyes, King Jin was confused for a while, and let him pick up a treasure: "Okay, use Yi Baoxuan's staff to spread the news about the salt tax problem in Jiangnan, and try to spread it throughout Jiangnan. "

Qi Ming looked a little surprised: "Is there a problem with the salt tax in the south of the Yangtze River?"

King Ling nodded: "It's okay to tell you now, Yang Lian has already explained that the Jiangnan salt tax, tax and silver deficit is serious, and the total should be several million taels."

"A few million taels? This is not a small amount. After checking the salt tax some time ago, a group of salt merchants were found out. Only a short time later, there was another problem. Those people's courage It’s too big, the emperor will definitely be furious when he hears the news.”

"Last time, I was tricked by the King of Jin and suffered a lot from the salt tax. This time, I want the King of Jin to return it to me. You should hurry up and do it."

"Yes."

Not long after King Ling finished his order, Mu Yunyao received the news.

Liu Liang stood on one side: "Master, do you need to let Qi Ming do something secretly?"

"No, what did the King of Ling order? Let Qi Ming do it. Since it is decided to let the King of Ling and the King of Jin fight, then we should not intervene easily. The King of Ling and the King of Jin have been fighting for so many years. You come and go, no one pleases No matter how cheap it is, there are many reasons for the emperor's mediation, if we intervene rashly, it will easily arouse the emperor's vigilance, let them fight, such a good situation, King Ling will definitely not give up."

"Yes."

In just a few days, rumors of another problem with the salt tax in the south of the Yangtze River spread. The emperor was furious when he heard about it, and ordered a thorough investigation. No one expected that the emperor would hand over the task of thorough investigation to King Yue.

After hearing the news, Mu Yunyao was stunned for a moment, then frowned tightly.

Jinlan was a little worried: "Miss, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just a little accident. Where's Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess?"

"His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is enjoying flowers in Liufang Garden with his wife. A few days ago, you newly transplanted a few camellias. Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess likes it very much. Every day, I will go to Liufang Garden to enjoy it for a while. Miss, please go there together. have a look?"

Mu Yunyao stood up and took two steps, then shook her head suddenly: "No need, the batch of custom-made clothes in Niyunfang has already been more than half done, right?"

"Yes, with sufficient manpower, the speed of making clothes will be faster."

"Go to Niyunfang to have a look, and hurry up to make these dresses as soon as possible. The weather is so hot this year, and it doesn't take long for people to wear spring clothes."

"Yes, miss."

Mu Yunyao came to Niyunfang, and with her help to finish the clothes, the clothes were completed faster and faster. When she got busy, she forgot the worries in her heart. When Jinlan reminded her, she realized that it was already dark: "Miss, both the eldest princess and the madam have sent people to ask, please return to Qinfang Garden as soon as possible."

"okay, I get it."

Mu Yunyao moved her shoulders and wrists, washed her hands and walked downstairs.

At the gate of Niyunfang, a carriage was quietly parked. Seeing Mu Yunyao coming down, the curtain of the carriage was slightly opened, revealing King Yue's handsome smiling face: "Yunyao."

"His Royal Highness King Yue..."

"I'll take you home."

Mu Yunyao was startled, looked left and right, and nodded in response: "Then I'll have to work."

After getting into the carriage, Mu Yunyao looked at King Yue and hesitated to speak.

King Yue took the lead and said, "You've already heard, my father appointed me to Jiangnan to investigate the salt tax case. I will leave for Jiangnan early in the morning."

"So fast?"

"The matter is urgent. There have been rumors spreading in the south of the Yangtze River, and the impact is extremely bad. We can only leave as soon as possible." Seeing the solemn look between Mu Yunyao's eyebrows and eyes, King Yue couldn't help but chuckled, "Don't worry so much. Jiangnan spent so much thought, it was not for nothing, I will find out the matter soon, and then rush back to Kyoto."

"Of course I'm not worried about His Highness's ability. It's just that...the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are deeply entrenched. Last time, when the timing, location, and harmony were all taken advantage of, we succeeded in our calculation. This time, the rumors spread in advance, and the salt merchants were prepared. Fear that things will go wrong.”

"With you behind me, I can't bear to have an accident." King Yue looked at Mu Yunyao, his eyes wishing to turn into a river of soft water.

Mu Yunyao's ears were slightly red, and she was anxious and angry: "I'm not joking, Your Highness must be extra careful in this line of work."

"Well, I know. Does Yao'er have a way to earn money this time? The salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are not cheating."

Hearing what King Yue said, Mu Yunyao couldn't help laughing: "His Royal Highness really regards me as a golden rake for money? The salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are not stupid. How can we let us count every time? There is a way to extract money from the salt merchants.”

"Drawing from the bottom of the pot?"

"Extracting money from them is not as smooth and thorough as directly raiding the house. Your Highness has always been upright and cruel. This time the emperor sent you to the south of the Yangtze River. It may not be because of this reason."

King Yue narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's reasonable, I like this errand, Yao'er can rest in peace and wait for the good news in the capital."

Mu Yunyao nodded, and suddenly laughed: "I once heard a joke told by a scholar, that they confiscated a corrupt official's house and confiscated 500,000 taels of silver, but the official in charge of raiding the house took 30% of it. 20% was taken by the underling bosses, and 10% was secretly hidden by the officials who ransacked the house below, and the rest was always exploited. In the end, only 90,000 taels of silver were sent to the emperor... Then, the emperor saw that this corrupt person also It’s not too much, and the crimes of the officials were reduced a lot..."

"Yao'er, don't worry, if you want to be greedy, you can only be greedy yourself, and you will never let others take advantage of it."

"Your Highness's words are really straightforward."

"After following Yao'er for a long time, it is inevitable that I will be closer to Zhu Zhechi."

Mu Yunyao raised her head and glared at him: "I can't help His Highness with anything else, but I can borrow some of His Highness's people. A while ago, Madam Ding wrote to me, saying that Niyunfang had recruited a group of people to settle accounts. Experts, no matter how complicated the accounts are, if they put them in their hands, they will be able to calculate them quickly, and if His Highness needs them, then go directly to Niyunfang to ask for someone."

"Okay, it's still Yao'er's thoughtfulness."
