Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Hearing that Yun Yao said that he did not dare to fully trust the people around him, King Yu suddenly smiled: "Yun Yao, you seem to have something in your words?"

"It's just a casual statement, the second uncle may believe it or not, don't you think so?"

"I see, thank you Yunyao for reminding me."

Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes, there was no need for her to say, His Royal Highness King Yu knew it clearly, but for some reason he kept pretending to be confused.

"Yunyao, if you leave such an important case to me for investigation, aren't you afraid that I will fool you?"

Mu Yunyao turned her head to look at him, with a slight smile on her lips: "If the second uncle fools things, Wei Guohou should be very dissatisfied, plus Mr. Min Ge... Maybe Miss Min will be upset too. Disappointed..."

King Yu patted his chest: "Don't worry, Yunyao, I'm sure this case will come to light!" He will definitely not let the mastermind behind the scenes feel better!

"Then I don't worry. Second Uncle, please do your best. I don't want Fourth Master to waste all his hard work."

Siye? Hearing this title, and thinking about Mu Yunyao's long journey to find someone, King Yu sighed: "Yunyao don't call me Second Uncle anymore, just call me King Yu first." , it's time to change the name to Second Brother...

Mu Yunyao naturally understood King Yu's meaning, and immediately changed her attitude naturally: "His Royal Highness, take your time to read the dossiers, I'll go back and pack my things, and prepare to leave at dawn."

"it is good."

When Mu Yunyao left, King Yu quickly browsed through the various files and testimonies, and sighed after reading it: "It seems that I can't be idle for a while."

Si Qin followed Mu Yunyao back to the room: "Miss, there are still a few hours before dawn, you should take a rest first, when the sun rises, the servants will come to call you, the secretary and I will pack the luggage."

Mu Yunyao shook her head, walked to the back of the table and took up a pen to write the letter. After finishing writing, she sealed it carefully: "Send this letter back to the capital tomorrow and give it to my grandmother."

"Yes, miss."

In the early morning of the next day, King Yu sent Mu Yunyao to the gate of the mansion: "Yunyao, be careful along the way. After you find your fourth brother, you must send me a letter as soon as possible."

"Okay, I will leave this place to His Royal Highness King Yu."

"rest assured."

Mu Yunyao didn't exchange too many pleasantries, and after getting on her horse, she quickly headed towards the gate of the city.

King Yu stayed up all night, and after seeing off Mu Yunyao, he went back to the county government office to read the files and confessions.

He came over with food and said, "Your Highness, you haven't slept well these days, eat something and take a rest."

King Yu raised his head and rubbed his neck: "There is no time to rest. If this case is not investigated as soon as possible, there may be some troubles."

"Didn't Princess Wenxian leave the dossier and confession? Aren't these things enough to close the case?"

"Heh, go back and study more, don't just think about practicing martial arts all day long. With only the salt merchant, Linjiang Tongzhi and a small county magistrate, even if you give them ten more guts, they don't dare to make such a big noise False salt tax account books, fraudulent tax bank...Which one of those officials is not a human being, who has no benefits for them, and would do this kind of beheading business?"

"Your Highness, what do you mean..."

"The salt tax account books and tax silver must have been faked, but the purpose was not to help salt merchants escape the salt tax, but to confuse the real salt tax tax silver."

"The salt tax for this season is nearly three million taels of silver. If that's the case, then they are too bold! Your Highness, where do you think they will hide the silver?"

"If you say you are stupid, you are really stupid. Without the support of the people above, they can hide the evidence so smoothly? Naturally, they have to find a way to send the money to the capital!"

"In the capital... Your Highness, this... this matter is too big. If you don't handle it properly, the emperor may take his anger out on you."

There was a smile on King Yu's lips, but his eyes turned cold: "Grandfather once said that big men do things and don't do them. There was no chance before. How can we watch them do evil now?"

Seeing his expression, the attendant quickly stopped talking: My master usually looks like he is laughing and laughing, but he is also a ruthless person who can kill the enemy with swords and knives. If he is really angry this time, he can only do it for those Officials and salt merchants observed a moment of silence.

The gloomy expression only appeared for a while, and King Yu returned to his previous smiling appearance: "Oh, Yaoer threw me a hot potato, and I had to continue, what a ghost, a ghost Yes, my honest fourth brother will probably be eaten to death, I am unlucky to be a strong man, alas!"

The follower couldn't help curling his lips: You are still smiling when you are a strong man, it seems that you are quite willing to work hard.

Mu Yunyao and his party headed towards Yishui City. On the way, they met a kind-hearted old man who reminded them: "Gentlemen, don't go any further. A hill ahead has slipped down. The sand, stone and mud mixed with the flood flooded the road and the road. There are several villages along the way that cannot be crossed at all, and the nobles will have to wait for the road to be repaired before entering Yishui City."

Si Qin looked at the old man who spoke: "Old man, do you know when the road will be repaired?"

"Who can say for sure, but there is no hope for the past two months. The disaster in Yishui City is worse than that in Linjiang and Huai'an. At this time, the city is still covered with oceans. What a crime..."

Mu Yunyao frowned slightly and said, "Old man, if you want to enter Yishui City, how many days will it take to detour?"

"It takes a detour to enter from the mountain road. It needs to climb two mountains, and it will take two or three days at the fastest. I advise you nobles to forget it. Even if we go in now, I'm afraid there will be no living."

Mu Yunyao felt a tight pain in her chest: "Thank you for reminding me, old man. Let's go, take the mountain road and enter Yishui City."

The old man seemed to want to say something. Seeing the resolute faces of these people, he couldn't help shaking his head: "What are you doing in there? Anyway, there are no living people..."

At this time, in a cave in the mountain forest, King Yue was sitting leaning against the mountain wall, with one hand resting on his bent knees and the other hanging down by his side. There were scars on the hanging arms, and blood was still seeping out of the cloth strips. His face was as pale as paper, and blood was oozing from his chapped lips.

Inside the cave, many victims of the disaster gathered together, lying or sitting, and they were all thin and out of shape due to hunger and hunger.

Suddenly, a woman screamed and scratched at a man beside her: "Let go, let go of my child..."

She was holding a blue-faced child in her arms, her chest heaved slightly, and it seemed that she would not last long.

The man kicked the woman away, and rushed towards the door with the child in his arms: "This child is going to die, why not use him to feed the wolves, otherwise, all of us will die here!"

King Yue, who had kept his eyes closed all this time, suddenly opened them, stood up with his sword in hand against the wall, and stopped the man in place: "Bring the child back!"
