Hearing that the silver in his hand was official silver, the aura around the emperor immediately turned cold."How could it be official silver?" Shen Bingshu kneeled on the ground. Even though he had always been a straightforward person, at this moment, he couldn't help but sweat a little, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this humble subject's led men to search the bodies of beggars and found that there were roughly 9000 taels of silver. When we caught those victims and interrogated them, we found that their mouths were tightly shut.
The manor inquired, and appeared extremely calm, not at all like an ordinary commoner."
"He's not just a commoner, could he be disguised by someone?" The emperor suddenly narrowed his eyes as he thought of the missing tax money from Jiangnan.
According to the investigation report sent by King Yu, the three million taels of silver that Jiang Nan had lost had been replaced with a lump of clay mixed with iron and sand. The true silver tax had disappeared without a trace. And now, he had suddenly discovered a large amount of silver that was similar to the official's silver in the capital. How could this be such a coincidence?
The Grand Princess Yide raised a hand and rubbed her forehead."I've been out for a long time, and I feel very tired. Emperor, I'm thinking of returning first. You should return to the palace as soon as possible." If this matter was of great importance, then it would be better to start the investigation early so that we could have more opportunity to find out the truth.
"Sister Huang, I'll come and play with you another day." With so much official silver involved, the emperor no longer had the mood to loiter around.
"Alright, come back when the emperor has time."
The emperor hurriedly led his men away, while Grand Princess Yi De also stood up."Yao'er, let's go back."
"Yes, Grandmother."
Mu Yunyao accompanied First Princess Yi De back to the Qin Fang Garden. Xu Yanhan accompanied her to talk for a while before going down to prepare dinner food.
"What would you like to eat for dinner?"
Mu Yunyao stood up, walked up to Grand Princess Yi De, and kneeled down."Grandmother, what happened today was all planned by Yao`er. She took advantage of your birth date to uncover the truth of the tax case, and I hope Grandmother will forgive me."
The smile on Eldest Princess Yi De's face didn't change."Get up. This isn't a big matter. Why would a family need to care so much about it?"
However, Mu Yunyao shook her head."If it was anyone else, I could use them without holding back, not putting them in my heart at all. It's precisely because you're a relative of mine that I feel uneasy using you."
Grand Princess Yi De bent over and helped Mu Yunyao up, "Don't worry about these things. Moreover, you are only making use of the convenience of my birth, and the things you do didn't hurt me at all. Don't be so preoccupied with it, tell me in detail what happened." Grandmother, this is a long story. In the beginning, King Yue and I suspected that Prince Jin's silver taels were not the right amount, so we investigated and found out that the husband of Su Jin from the Su family, Yang Lian, was involved with Prince Jin. We used him to bribe officials and change the evaluation level of the assessment.
He was sent to prison."After interrogation, he found out that he and Jiangnan's salt merchant were closely related, and that he had secretly used the salt merchant as a bridge to pave the way for the capital. And his backer was His Highness Prince Jin."
"The news from the King should have been intentionally sent over by you and the King, right?" Yes, Yue Yang did not have enough power on his side, if he wanted to fight the Jin Emperor alone, it would be hard for him to accomplish anything. Therefore, he told the King about the news, and asked him and the Li family to help spread the news. He just did not expect that the Emperor would send His Majesty King Yue to investigate the salt tax case in Jiangnan in the future.
The battle between King and King Jin was so noisy that it even blew up the riverbank, affecting so many innocent people."
"What about the silver?" It was only later that King Yue and I realized that the salt merchants had not paid the taxes at all, and had instead converted the money they should have paid into banknotes and secretly delivered it into banknotes, sending it into the hands of Prince Jin. With the protection of Prince Jin, the salt merchants thought they could imitate the old example of the salt tax case in Yangzhou. They could make the ship, which was loaded with salt tax silver, sink into the river, and the counterfeit silver and silver could sink into the water. However, the investigation in Jiang-Nan led to panic King Jin and the salt merchants. Furthermore, with King Yu glaring at them from the side, it took him a few rounds of combined effort before he managed to blow up the riverbank. King Yue wanted to stop them, but his abilities were limited and he did not succeed, so he could only try his best to find evidence.
and saved a salt merchant to piece together the truth from his mouth."
Princess Yi De creased her eyebrows."Prince Jin went too far." "The human heart is the most dangerous thing in this world." This matter was all thanks to Grandmother's help. You stirred up Imperial Concubine and had the Li family take the opportunity to destroy her family's home. His Highness Duke of Yue investigated and found a large amount of silver bills left behind by the brothers and secretly hid them. The silver that the Emperor found on the beggars today
"The truth is that the appearance is the same as the official's silver. A portion of it has been intentionally cut off to confuse the crowd."
"The salt merchants sent banknotes to the capital, and they were even hidden by the King of Battle. So today's banknotes were intentionally prepared by the two of you?" Yes, Grandmother, I was not willing to let the Jin Emperor escape punishment so easily, so I secretly prepared some silver coins and released a fake message to His Royal Highness. In fact, it was arranged by the King that we broke into a beggar's official residence with money on him. After finding out everything, he also didn't do anything to us ...
It doesn't matter at all."
Mu Yunyao also didn't know why she could be so frank with her grandmother about everything. She was afraid that her mother would think that her heart was deep, but facing her grandmother, she didn't have any such worries. The matters of your juniors will naturally be settled by you. The victor will be the king and the loser will be the bandits. If you do not have the temperament and ability, you would only harm even more people in the end. There had always been many disputes in the Tian Family. Brothers, husband, wife, sisters ... Very few people can go all the way to the end, no matter if you and Yue Yue
Wang must be honest with each other when using strategies and strategies. When using other people, you must also clearly distinguish if there is any truth behind it, and should not do anything that you regret."
"Yes, please rest assured, Ancestor."
I will definitely be able to take control of the situation." With the Old Madam of the Su Clan as a reference, she would not allow herself to walk the path of no return. Living in this world for a lifetime, one must have some vitality.
Grand Princess Yi De looked at Mu Yunyao, his eyes filled with satisfaction."Yao`er, keep walking forward. You will definitely be able to walk farther than your grandmother."
Hearing this, Mu Yunyao's heart tightened and she suddenly opened her mouth to ask, "Grandmother, what do you think is the percentage of the success rate for His Highness Duke of Yue wanting to fight for that seat?" As long as King Yue is willing, that seat will be his." "What's more, now that you and King Yue are together, if you choose him, my grandmother will spare no effort to help you."
