Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife - Chapter 466

[Chapter 466]

King Yue threw the letter into the charcoal basin and burned it, and quickly read the news sent by Buxian Building, but after searching for a long time, he found nothing: “The news was collected by Sicha in Buxian Building, why is it not passed on? come over?”

Mu Yunyao also felt that there was a problem, and her eyebrows could not help but tighten a bit: “I don’t envy the news in the building, 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.

King Yue sank his eyes: “When I was building the Buxian Building, I was thinking about spreading the scene as soon as possible. It was inevitable that there were omissions in many aspects. Now that the situation is almost under control, it is time to rectify it properly.”

Mu Yunyao looked at the charcoal basin with paper ashes: “Since Your Highness is aware of the problem of Jiangnan’s salt tax, can you think of how to deal with it?”

“The news is not accurate now. It just says that the Jiangnan salt tax has been manipulated, but the specific aspect of the action has yet to be verified. I will let people investigate the news as soon as possible.”

Mu Yunyao nodded. There are too many places where salt tax can be manipulated. The last salt tax case broke out in Yangzhou City. The salt tax has a serious deficit on the books. When the salt tax is verified, it is necessary to make the illusion that the salt ship is sinking to offset the deficit.

And 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 is not levied according to the share as last time, or is the official and private communication, maliciously reducing the tax and raising the salt price? Or are you playing tricks on the amount of private salt? Only by investigating these things clearly, can the right medicine be prescribed.

Thinking that there might be a problem in Buxian Tower, King Yue’s mind was heavy: “Yunyao, you have to be extra careful during this time, King Jin has been investigating Niyunfang and Buxian Tower, and seems to be suspicious of these two places. .”

“King Jin… Speaking of him, Yang Lian, the inspector of Liangjiang, returned to Beijing a few days ago and seems to have met the King of Jin.”

“Well, on the bright side, it seems that they met in a street restaurant, but a prince of the dynasty, a third-rank official, no matter how you look at it, it is unusual.”

Mu Yunyao raised her eyebrows slightly, and made a bold guess: “Your Highness, you said that King Jin is so wealthy. Could it be that he moved the salt tax in Jiangnan?”

King Yue shook his head subconsciously: “It shouldn’t be… The salt tax, tax and silver are very important. The father and the emperor are very concerned about this. Before, the elder brother, the king, suffered a big loss, and the king of Jin should not think about it. hands and feet on this.”

“I’m not afraid of 10,000, just in case. I always think that King Jin should be short of silver taels, but he is born with no shortage of silver taels. So where did the silver taels come from? It can’t be from the sky.”

King Yue looked solemn: “I will have someone check it as soon as possible. If King Jin is really involved with the Jiangnan salt tax, this matter will be serious.” Every time the salt tax is involved, the court and the public will be shocked. When the prince of the dynasty, I don’t know how big a storm will be.

Seeing the tiredness between his brows and eyes, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but feel a little distressed: “Don’t be too anxious, Your Highness, just take it step by step.”

King Yue heard Mu Yunyao’s concern, and a warm smile appeared in his eyes: “Well.”

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

Eunuch Cheng walked in and put the refreshments on the table with a smile on his face: “There are two new cooks in the house, how about Miss Mu trying their craftsmanship? If you like it, let’s have some refreshments when we leave later. Write the recipe down and bring it to Miss.”

“Thank you, Eunuch Cheng.”

“Miss is too polite. By the way, the lotus pond in the backyard is almost dug. Just yesterday, a spring was dug, but the water flow is not strong. At one point, I will transplant some lotus flowers, and in summer, the scenery will be pleasant.”

“How about I go and see later?”

“Naturally, it’s the best. I don’t know what kind of railings the lady likes. The lord was thinking about building some railings and pavilions around the lotus pond a few days ago. If the lady likes it, she will also tell the lord.”

Even after knowing that Miss Mu and her own prince are related by blood, seeing how they stand side by side as a pair of beautiful people still makes Eunuch Cheng unable to help match one or two: Oh, what a pair that matches well, it’s a pity that good luck makes people. .

Mu Yunyao glanced at King Yue with a half-smile but not a smile: “Isn’t His Highness King Yue fined with a salary and no money? Why is there any spare energy to build a small pavilion?”

King Yue’s expression remained unchanged: “I just borrowed a loan.”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but feel funny: Feeling, this person used the money he lent out to build his own mansion, really…

King Yue stood up: “Let’s go, I’ll take you to see Quanyan.”

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

King Yue sent her out, turned to go back, and immediately ordered his men to arrange it. Buxianlou is the foundation for him to control Jiangnan, even if he has to reluctantly clean it again, he cannot leave hidden dangers.

The orders were conveyed one after another, and the undercurrents of the storms were faintly aroused.

In the Su Mansion, the atmosphere was lively.

Although it is said that Zhang Wan was given the marriage by the emperor personally, and is nominally Su Qingwu’s flat wife, on par with the Sixth Princess of Huaiyang, but in the end the status is different. In addition, Zhang Wan’s father was extremely distressed that she insisted on marrying Su Qingwu, and preparations such as dowry were extraordinarily hasty and coping.

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

Sister Xi hurriedly stopped her: “Miss, this red hijab is waiting for the uncle to lift it. You are not in compliance with the rules.”

“Don’t worry, no one cares if the rules are irregular. Su Qingwu will not come to me tonight.”

At this moment, there was a faint sound of chanting from the hall outside.

Zhang Wan stood up and walked to the side of the table. Seeing the half-baked things on the table, she directly instructed the hi mama, “Replace these things and cook the bowls and noodles. I have been hungry for a day, and I have no strength. ”

“Miss……”

“If you want to go, why is there so much nonsense?” Zhang Wan looked impatient.

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

Second lady Qi?

Zhang Wan’s eyes moved, and she said, “Quickly invite people in.”

Second Madam Qi’s followed by two maids who were carrying camellias: “Be careful when placing camellias on the ground, and don’t knock or touch them.”

Zhang Wan stepped forward and bowed her knees: “I have seen Second Aunt.”

“Wan’er get up quickly, I look at this bride, she looks really beautiful, Qingwu is lucky.” Qi’s face was full of a refreshing smile, and her praise to Zhang Wan was very sincere.

Zhang Wan raised her hand and touched the scar on her face: “It’s good not to 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 look at it everywhere. This pot of camellia was sent to me by Yunyao. Now, let me send it directly to your room, I have taken care of it very carefully, look at these camellias, each one is beautiful and beautiful, and people can’t help but be overjoyed when they look at them.”
