The next day, Mu Yunyao received a message from Qin Guanshi: All the salt merchants investigated before were killed except Jiang Jin who was seriously injured and rescued. She wrote back and asked Qin Guanshi to take good care of Jiang Jin. Rescue people, this may be the only witness among the salt merchants.

Not long after, Si Qin came in with a confession: "Miss, Lin Jiang confessed."

"Well, now go and bring over the head of the Linjiang county yamen who dredged the river."

Si Qin was slightly taken aback when he heard the words: "Miss, does the head of the Linjiang County Yamen also have a problem?"

The Master Registrar cared about the people, and even took the lead in repairing the river when other officials were inactive. She recalled it carefully and found nothing wrong.

The light in Mu Yunyao's eyes was cold: "If it weren't for the guidance of the chief book-sir, how could I have found out that there is something wrong with Linjiang Tongzhi so easily? Besides, I didn't say that he has any serious problems, I just called him over. say something."

"Yes, servant girl, go and bring him here."

When the head of the Linjiang county yamen was brought over, his body was still stained with dried mud and water marks. Seeing Mu Yunyao, he quickly saluted and apologized: "It's really rude to see the princess with disheveled clothes. Please forgive me, princess. .”

"Master Registrar is too polite, come here, show Master Registrar the tea."

Si Qin prepared a seat, and then stood beside Mu Yunyao so that she could protect her at any time.

Mu Yunyao raised her eyes, with a slight smile on her lips: "Is everything alright, His Highness King Ling?"

The chief secretary shook his hand holding the teacup, looked up at Mu Yunyao in confusion: "What is the meaning of the princess, why can't the subordinate understand?"

Mu Yunyao tapped on the confession at hand: "You don't understand it, you should be like a bright mirror in your heart. Tongzhi Linjiang has already confessed what he did, and it is really appalling to see the charges one after another. .”

"What crime did Tongzhi Linjiang commit? Why doesn't the subordinate know?"

Mu Yunyao gave a low laugh, and signaled Si Qin to hand him the confession of Tongzhi Linjiang for review: "Take a closer look, is there anything I missed?"

Seeing the contents of the confession, the Linjiang county government official's eyes flickered suddenly, and his heart flashed with shock: "This... forged salt tax account books, fake salt tax, tax and silver, and destroyed evidence and blew up the embankment. As a result, three cities were flooded and countless people were displaced... this... this is too appalling."

Mu Yunyao looked at the excellent singer and composer, with a cool smile on her lips: "After spending so long with Tongzhi Linjiang, you should know what he is like. Isn't it strange that it took only a blink of an eye for one night, why is he so angry? Confession soon?"

Immortal Master Linjiang froze for a moment, his body froze involuntarily.

"I gave Tongzhi Linjiang a kind of poison. This kind of poison is extremely overbearing. After taking it, you need to take the antidote every half an hour. If you don't take it, your whole body will be bitten by thousands of ants. It hurts and itches, and it hurts so much. , Itchy and piercing, makes people want to tear off the whole skin, scratching hard will make the pain ten times worse, that kind of contradictory feeling, Master Master, would you like to experience it?"

"Princess, you are too good at joking, is there such poison in the world?"

"There are no wonders in the world, haven't you heard of this sentence? Besides, this kind of medicine is not too rare. I have seen a more overbearing one. After taking it, the whole body's internal organs will slow down. Slow decay, from the inside out, even the bones will slowly decay into residue, only the outer skin is good, but even so, this person still can't die, and finally turned into a piece of pus wrapped in human skin ..."

The master secretary couldn't help clutching his chest and retching, his whole face was extremely pale, looking at Mu Yunyao with eyes full of fear, such a beautiful and slender girl, but her methods were so bloody and cruel, When people saw her face, they couldn't help feeling chills in their hearts.

Mu Yunyao looked at him: "Why did you react so strongly? Don't worry, if you cooperate well, I will not use these two poisons on you. After all, you are a member of His Highness King Ling, so I will give it to you no matter what. Save some face for my uncle."

"Princess, I really don't understand what you mean."

"You don't need to understand. You just need to report my words to your master. Remember, you are the real master. I have taken over Linjiang City, and I will truthfully report the confession of Linjiang Tongzhi to the emperor. As for the rest, wait for King Yu." When His Royal Highness comes down, he will check them out one by one, and then report to the higher authorities. So, don’t use those methods in secret. After all, once these things break out, the emperor will be furious and stop talking, and his reputation among the common people will be reduced to Extreme! I think your master doesn't want such a result, does he?"

Facing Mu Yunyao's penetrating eyes, the master's face became paler, and his expression was slightly tinged with panic: "Princess..."

"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 pass the message. Anyway, in Linjiang City, there is more than one person who can contact the capital. What do you think? ?”

"...Yes, the next official understands, and must convey the princess's meaning verbatim."

Mu Yunyao raised the corners of her lips: "Okay, you are really a smart person, where is King Yu being blocked?"

"This... I don't know..." The master wanted to shake his head and deny it, but seeing Mu Yunyao's half-smile, and thinking of her threat, he couldn't help gritting his teeth, "His Royal Highness Prince Jin used rocks to break They lost the official road to Linjiang City, and encouraged the victims to make trouble, and trapped His Royal Highness King Yu on the road before entering Tongling City."

"Understood, my lord, go down and get busy."

"Yes."

When the book of Linjiang county yamen was withdrawn, Mu Yunyao took the confession of Linjiang Tongzhi.

"Miss, tell me, can you believe the words of Linjiang Tongzhi?"

"Of course we can't believe his words alone. We lack physical evidence now." Mu Yunyao shook her head slightly.

"I'm afraid it's hard to find physical evidence? After all, the river burst its embankment, and many things were washed away. I don't know where they are."

Mu Yunyao shook her head: "No, we will see physical evidence soon."

"Huh? Miss has already thought of a way to find physical evidence?"

"Do you think I just called my Linjiang county yamen boss over just to say those two sentences?"

"Is not it?"

"As soon as we entered Linjiang City, we saw that there were old and weak women and children in the city, but no young and strong men. At first I thought that those strong men had followed the county government to repair the river, but when I saw those Those who repair the river, I am sure many of them are not ordinary people. Moreover, the river has been repaired for more than half a month, without piling or embankment, just leading people to dig and search on both sides of the river. What do you say they are doing?"
