Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

King Yue threw the letter into the charcoal basin and burned it, and quickly flipped through the news sent by Buxian Building, but after searching for a long time, he found nothing: "The news was collected by Si Cha in Buxian Building, why didn't it spread? come over?"

Mu Yunyao also felt that there was a problem, and her brows became even tighter: "The news in Buxian Tower is complicated, and it is inevitable that there will be a delay. If..."

Mu Yunyao didn't finish her sentence, but King Yue had already understood what she meant: it's normal for the news to be delayed for a while, but if it doesn't get through at all, there must be something wrong in some link.

King Yue lowered his eyes: "When we first built the Unenviable Building, we focused on spreading the scene as soon as possible. There were inevitably omissions in many aspects. Now that the situation is almost under control, it's time to rectify it."

Mu Yunyao looked at the charcoal basin with the paper ashes on it: "Since Your Highness knows about the Jiangnan salt tax problem again, can you think about how to deal with it?"

"The current news is not accurate. It just says that the Jiangnan salt tax has been tampered with, but the specific aspect of the tampering has yet to be verified. I will let people investigate the news as soon as possible."

Mu Yunyao nodded. There are too many things that can be manipulated on the salt tax. The last time the salt tax case broke out in Yangzhou City, someone manipulated the tax and under-collected a huge share of the tax. There is a serious deficit in the salt tax book, and when it comes to checking the salt tax, it has to make the illusion that the salt ship has sunk to offset the deficit.

But this time, I only know that there is a problem with the salt tax, tax and silver, but I don’t know where the problem lies. Is it that the salt tax was not collected according to the share like last time, or is there a relationship between the government and the private, maliciously lowering the tax and raising the salt price? Or did they tamper with the amount of private salt? Only by investigating these things clearly can we prescribe the right medicine.

Thinking that there might be a problem in the Buxian Building, King Yue's heart was heavy: "Yunyao, you have to be extra careful during this time, King Jin has been investigating Niyunfang and Buxian Building, and seems to have become suspicious of these two places. .”

"King Jin... Speaking of him, Liangjiang Inspector Yang Lian returned to Beijing a few days ago, and he seems to have met King Jin."

"Well, on the surface, it looks like we met in a street restaurant, but a current prince and a third-rank official, no matter how you look at it, it is unusual."

Mu Yunyao twitched her eyebrows slightly, and made a bold guess: "Your Highness, you said, King Jin has such ample money, could it be because of the salt tax in the south of the Yangtze River?"

King Yue shook his head subconsciously: "It shouldn't be... Salt tax, tax and silver are very important, and the father is very careful about this. The elder brother, King Ling, suffered a big loss before, and King Jin shouldn't be too hard on it." It’s up to you to do something about it.”

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. I always feel that King Jin should be short of silver taels, but he was born with no shortage. So where did the silver come from? It can't be dropped from the sky."

King Yue's expression was solemn: "I will have someone check it out as soon as possible. If King Jin is really involved in the Jiangnan salt tax, this matter will be serious." When the prince of the court, I don't know how much trouble will be caused.

Mu Yunyao couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she saw the tiredness between his brows and eyes: "Your Highness, don't be too anxious, just take it step by step."

King Yue could hear Mu Yunyao's concern, and had a warm smile in his eyes: "Yeah."

After telling King Yue about the matter, Mu Yunyao felt much relieved.

Eunuch Cheng walked in, and put the refreshments on the table with a smile on his face: "There are two new cooks in the mansion, how about Miss Mu trying their cooking? If you like it, let someone serve you some refreshments when you leave later." Fang Zi wrote it down and brought it to the lady."

"Thank you, Eunuch Cheng."

"Miss is too polite, by the way, the lotus pond in the backyard is almost dug, and a spring was dug out just yesterday, but the water flow is not strong, I think people will dig deeper, wait for the weather to warm up At one o'clock, I will transplant some lotus flowers, and the scenery will be pleasant in summer."

"Then how about I go and see later?"

"Of course it's the best. I don't know what kind of railings the lady likes. The prince was thinking about building some railings and pavilions around the lotus pond a few days ago. If the lady likes something, she will also tell the prince."

Even knowing that Ms. Mu and his prince are related by blood, but seeing their appearance as a couple standing side by side, Eunuch Cheng couldn't help but match up with each other: Oh, what a good couple, it's a pity that good luck tricks people .

Mu Yunyao glanced at King Yue with a half-smile: "Didn't His Highness King Yue be fined for his salary and have no money? How come he still has the energy to build a small pavilion?"

King Yue's expression remained unchanged: "I just borrowed a sum."

Mu Yunyao couldn't help but feel it was funny: this person with feelings used the money he lent to build his own mansion, it's really...

King Yue stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the spring."

After seeing the lotus pond, Mu Yunyao said goodbye and left.

King Yue sent her out, turned around and went back, and immediately ordered his men to arrange it. Buxian Building is the foundation for him to control Jiangnan, even if he has to wash it painfully, he can't leave any hidden dangers.

One order after another was conveyed, faintly arousing one after another turmoil.

In the Su residence, the atmosphere was lively.

Although it is said that Zhang Wan was granted the marriage by the emperor himself, and she is Su Qingwu's flat wife in name, comparable to the six princesses of Huaiyang, but there is a difference in status in the end. Coupled with the fact that Zhang Wan's father was extremely distressed by her insistence on marrying Su Qingwu, preparations for the dowry were extraordinarily hasty and copious.

At this time, Zhang Wan was sitting in the new room, raised her hand to lift the hijab on her head, and looked at the burning dragon and phoenix candles on the table not far away, with strong sarcasm flashing in her eyes.

Mammy Xi hurriedly stopped her: "Miss, this red hijab is waiting for uncle to take it off, you are not in compliance with the rules."

"Don't worry, no one cares about those who behave improperly. Su Qingwu will not come to my place tonight."

At this moment, there was a faint sound of chant and promises from outside.

Zhang Wan stood up and walked to the side of the desk case, saw the half-baked things on the desk case, and directly instructed Madam Xi: "Replace these things, cook the bowl of noodles, after a day of hunger, I have no energy left. "

"Miss……"

"Go as soon as I tell you, where is there so much nonsense?" Zhang Wan looked impatient.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door: "Miss, the second wife of the Su family is here."

Second wife Qi?

Zhang Wan's eyes moved, and she ordered: "Hurry up and invite people in."

The second wife, Qi, was followed by two nuns carrying the camellias: "Whoever puts the camellias on the ground, be careful, don't knock or touch them."

Zhang Wan stepped forward and bowed her knees: "I've seen Second Aunt."

"Wan'er get up quickly, I look at this bride, she is really beautiful, you are so lucky." Qi had a bright smile on her face, and her praise to Zhang Wan was very sincere.

Zhang Wan raised her hand and touched the scar on her face: "It's good that I didn't scare Second Aunt."

"What are you talking about? You have an extraordinary body. Even if you have some scars on your cheeks, you can't hide your flaws. I can see it anywhere. This pot of camellia was sent to me by Yunyao. I especially remind you Yes, let me send it directly to your room, I have been taken care of carefully, look at this camellia, every flower is so delicate and beautiful, people can't help but be overjoyed when they take a look at it."
