~ NEVER LET THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE SCENES FEEL BETTER ~

Si Qin slightly widened her eyes, “Miss, you mean to say that they are looking for the fake official silver that sank in the water?”

“I think it’s exceptionally possible. Furthermore, looking at the Linjiang City Government official’s clerk’s calm demeanor, he should have been able to find some. This time, the salt tax case was the biggest fight between Ling Wang and Jin Wang in Jiangnan, with the attitude of not giving up until one party died. Ling Wang wanted to bite Jin Wang and didn’t let go. However, Jin Wang, on the other hand, wants to frame His Royal Highness Yue Wang, and on the other hand, while getting away, so I have to choose to stand in line at the same time.”

Si Qin was still worried, “Miss, what if the Linjiang City Government official’s clerk has not found any evidence, and His Royal Highness Ling Wang does not appreciate your kindness?”

“If the Linjiang City Government official’s clerk could not find any evidence, we will take it out from Su Jin’s mouth. Yang Lian must have had his own means of survival since he was able to become an envoy of Liangjiang for so many years. The evidence mentioned by Su Jin must be very crucial. I could think of it, as could Grandmother and the Emperor. As for Ling Wang, as long as he receives the news, he will not refuse to accept my kindness. Because right now, I am not representing myself but the Grand Princess’s Mansion. At this moment, when the throne was about to change, none of these princes could refuse the power of Grandmother.”

“Miss is really intelligent.” Si Qin’s heart was filled with admiration. She just couldn’t come up with any of these thoughts even if she were to die from exhaustion.

“Where is wisdom? It’s just being forced to be helpless. Liu Liang should be back by today. When he comes back, tell him to come to see me. I have something important to ask him to do.”

“Yes, Miss.”

When the sky turned dark, Liu Liang rushed back in a hurry, covered in dust. “Mistress, you were looking for me.”

“Is Huai’an City’s trip going smoothly?”

“Replying to the Mistress, it was very smooth. Huai’an City’s officials had provided disaster relief in an orderly manner, and the victims were relatively safe. Even many of the victims from Linjiang City arrived in Huai’an City, and they had been placed there properly. When Mistress told me to deliver the food, the Governor of Huai’an City wrote a letter to express his gratitude. In addition, after the prescription was delivered, the doctors boiled the medicine. Then, they distributed it to the victims as soon as possible to prevent an outbreak.”

Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief, “That’s good. Have you noticed any of the disaster’s victims from Yishui City in Huai’an City?”

“This subordinate has asked about it. The road t leading to Yishui city has not been repaired, so I’m not sure about the actual situation inside the city. There haven’t been any victims that have yet to come out.”

Mu Yunyao’s brows tightly creased. “I understand. Earlier, I had you exchange a large amount of silver and transport it into the Capital by land. Is it ready now?”

“It’s ready.”

“Well, for the time being, I will temporarily remain patient. When I return to the Capital after dealing with Jiangnan, I will give Jin Wanga huge gift.”

“Yes, Mistress.”

Two days later, in the middle of the night, someone knocked on the government office’s door. Si Qin quickly walked into the room and reported to Mu Yunyao, “Miss, His Royal Highness Yu Wang has arrived.”

“He’s finally here.” Mu Yunyao sat up without a trace of sleepiness in her eyes. After putting on her clothes, she asked, “Where is the person?”

“In the front hall.”

“Let’s go.”

When Yu Wang heard the sound of footsteps, he hurriedly looked toward the door. Seeing Mu Yunyao come in with quick steps, he could not help but praise her in his heart, “Yunyao, I really did not expect you to arrive earlier than me.”

Previously, he had sent someone to the Qinfang Garden but didn’t see anyone. He was still slightly dissatisfied in his heart, as he thought that Mu Yunyao had let down Fourth Imperial Brother, who was so affectionate with her. Now it seemed that he was arbitrarily ignorant of the truth. Since she could come so early, she must have left the Capital as soon as she heard the news. With such a kind of woman, no wonder Fourth Imperial Brother wants to hold her.

“Greetings, Second Imperial Uncle.”

“There is no need to be so courteous. I have already heard about you on the way, which really makes me ashamed as an uncle.”

“If my Second Imperial Uncle hadn’t used himself as a bait to attract those who were secretly obstructing, I wouldn’t have been able to provide disaster relief to the victims so smoothly. However, the amount of food and medicinal herbs that I distributed was recorded in my account, so Second Imperial Uncle must find a way to make it up for me. Otherwise, Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo won’t be able to continue the business.”

“Haha, don’t worry. Because of our relationship, we will at least make up for 20% more of your benefits.”

Mu Yunyao smiled, “Then I’ll thank Second Imperial Uncle. Since you’ve come to Linjiang City, I’ll be leaving now.”

The smile on Yu Wang’s face froze, “Yunyao, I’ll go find him. You stay in Linijiang City. I’ll definitely bring Fourth Imperial Brother back safely.”

Mu Yunyao shook her head. “Second Imperial Uncle, you are an Imperial Official who has been ordered to provide disaster relief, so you can’t be in danger. Besides, you have more important things to do, so let me come in person to find His Royal Highness Yue Wang.

After so long, Yue Wang hadn’t come looking for her, so the answer was already blatant. He was definitely trapped and unable to get out. The only thing that was able to trap him now was Yishui City.

She had been waiting for Yu Wang to come. When he took over everything in Linjiang City, she would be able to let go of her worries and peacefully go to Yishui City to find Yue Wang. Yue Wang had managed to create a situation in Jiangnan with eminent difficulty. No matter how impatient she was, she could not let his efforts go to waste.

“Yunyao, you should have guessed it. The road to Yishui City has yet to be repaired. After being trapped for so long, that place must have already turned into a living hell. You’re a weak girl....”

Mu Yunyao’s expression was still firm, “Second Imperial Uncle, you don’t have to persuade me.. It’s better to start taking over all the business now, and I’ll leave at dawn. Si Qin, go and get the documents and testimonies I’ve sorted out during this period of time. ”

Very quickly, Si Qin placed the things on the table.

Mu Yunyao opened them one by one. “Second Imperial Uncle, you should have long guessed that Linjiang City’s dike break was unusual. You should have knew a long time ago, and You should have heard of the things I did in Linjiang City. I won’t talk about those that aren’t important. Second Imperial Uncle, this report is a confession from Linjiang Tongzhi, which records what Linjiang City Governer and the salt merchant Zhou family did.”

“Working with salt merchants, making fake salt tax account, making fake salt tax silver …clay mixed with iron sand fired into the shape of silver ingots. Then, tand then the surface is gilded with silver to pretend to be official silver.... Heh, it really embodies the guts of these salt merchants!” Yu Wang was furious after he read it, “What’s more excessive is that in order to eliminated these incriminating evidence, they actually thought of blowing up the riverbank. Seriously … They really should exterminate their clans!”

“Second Imperial Uncle, there’s no need to be angry. Other than Jiang Jin, who is heavily injured and has yet to wake up, the rest of the salt merchants are already dead. Not even a single person from their family is left alive. Although it is still a bit short of exterminate their clans, he is not too far off from that.”

The corner of Yu Wang’s eyes twitched, “What a coincidence. We should really find this person and give him to Imperial Father to reward him well.”

Mu Yunyao smiled and said, “Then Second Imperial Uncle should investigate quickly. Now that the disaster relief in Linjiang City and Huai’an City has been carried out in an orderly manner, I will go over to Yishui to help.

Second Imperial Uncle can save a lot of time and find this person to hand over to the Emperor to ask for a reward for him. There are two dead men in prison. They have not even opened their mouths yet, but I think it will be soon.”

“Well, I’ll interrogate them well. I’ll give you some of the men I brought with me s to ensure your safety along the way.”

“No need. I have people that Grandmother sent over. Besides, I don’t dare to trust the people that Second Imperial Uncle sent over.”
