Chapter 494
The next day, Mu Yunyao received the news from Supervisor Qin: Except for Jiang Jin, all of the salt merchants that she investigated were killed. She wrote a reply, telling Supervisor Qin to take good care of Jiang Jin.
Not long after, Si Qin walked in with a confession in her hand.
"Miss Lin Jiang, let's confess.
"
"Mm. Now, go and bring over that River Rivers magistrate's book that was used to clear up the river.
"
Mu Yunyao's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"If I didn't have the guidance of the Registrar Official, how could I have easily found out that there's a problem with Fellow Jiang?
" In addition, I didn't say that he has any big problems, but just called him over to have a chat.
"
"Yes, this servant will bring the person over now.
"
When Lin Jiang County's main book was brought over, his body was still stained with the imprint of dried mud. Upon seeing Mu Yunyao, he hurriedly bowed in apology,
"This lowly official is extremely rude to the princess. Please forgive me, Princess.
"
"Lord Registrar Official is being too courteous. Servants, serve him some tea.
"
Si Qin prepared a seat and stood at Mu Yunyao's side, making it convenient for him to protect her at any time.
Mu Yunyao raised her eyes, her lips carrying a faint smile.
"Has His Highness been well?
"
The Registrar Official's hand that was holding the teacup swayed as he raised his head to look at Mu Yunyao in confusion.
"Princess, what do you mean by this? Why can't I understand it?
"
Mu Yunyao knocked on the confession beside her.
"I don't understand in the big mouth, but my heart should be as clear as a mirror.
"Lin Jiang knows that he has already explained his actions. It is truly shocking to look at the crimes that he has committed one after the other.
"
"How come this official does not know what crime Venerable Jiang has committed?
"
Mu Yunyao chuckled and indicated for Siqin to give him the confession beside Jiang Tonghui.
"Take a careful look, are there any other mistakes?
" Seeing the contents of the confession, the eyes of River County's magistrate court's keeper flickered. Shock flashed through his heart:
"This …
" Falsified salt tax books, salt tax tax silver, destroyed evidence, destroyed river banks, caused three cities to be flooded and countless people to be displaced … This … 'This is too scary! '
"Yes.
"
Mu Yunyao looked at the main book that was singing well, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
"You have interacted with Fellow Jiang Lin for so long, you should be clear of his character. Isn't it strange that in the blink of an eye, he had confessed so quickly?
"
"This …
" Immortal Lin Jiang was stunned and his body involuntarily stiffened. After consuming it, I need to consume the antidote once every hour. If I don't, my body will feel like it's being eaten by ten thousand ants. It'll be painful and itchy, and it'll hurt so much that it'll make me want to tear off my skin.
"scratching will increase the pain by ten times, that contradictory feeling, does Master Shuiyue want to experience it?
"
"Princess, you sure know how to joke around. Is there even such a poison in the world?
" Don't you know that the world is full of wonders? In addition, this kind of medicine wasn't that rare. I've seen it before, after consuming it, all the organs in the body will slowly rot away. From the inside out, even the bones will slowly rot into scraps.
The skin on the outside is good, but even so, this person will not die. In the end, he will become pus wrapped in human skin …
"
Looking at Mu Yunyao's eyes that were filled with fear, he saw that even though she had a beautiful and slender figure, her methods were so bloody and cruel. Anyone who saw her face would not be able to help but feel a chill in their heart.
Mu Yunyao looked at him.
"Why do you have such a large reaction? Don't worry, if you cooperate well, I won't use these two poisons on you. After all, you are one of His Royal Highness. I must at least give some face to my eldest uncle.
"
"Princess, I really don't understand what you mean.
" You don't need to understand, you just need to report my words to your master. I've taken over River Lin City, so I'll report all the confessions that Jiang Tong knows to the emperor. As for the rest, he'll investigate them one by one once he arrives at King Yu's Palace and report them to the emperor. Therefore
Don't secretly use those methods. After all, once these things get out of hand, the Emperor's anger will be completely gone. His reputation as a commoner will be lowered to the extreme! I suppose your master does not wish for such an outcome?
"
Facing Mu Yunyao's seemingly understanding gaze, the Registrar Official's face became even paler. His expression slowly turned into one of panic.
"Princess …
"
"My patience is limited. If you say that you don't understand what I mean, then I'll have someone else help me relay a message. In any case, there's more than one person in Riverside City that can reach the capital. What do you think?
"
"...
"Yes, this official understands. I will definitely pass on the princess' meaning word for word.
"
Mu Yunyao raised the corner of her lips.
"Good, you're really a smart person. Where did you stop King Yu?
" This …
"This official doesn't know …
" The Registrar Official wanted to shake his head and deny it, but when he saw Mu Yunyao's half-smiling appearance, and then recalled her threats, he couldn't help but clench his teeth.
"His Highness Duke of Jin's men used a mountain rock to break off the official road to Riverside City in private, then incited the refugees to cause trouble, and trapped His Highness King Yu inside.
On the way to Tong Ling City.
"
"Understood, master, please go and busy yourself.
"
"Yes.
"
When the main book of Riverside County left, Mu Yunyao took the confession from Jiang You.
"Miss, do you think you can trust Lin Jiang's words?
"
"Naturally, we cannot believe his words alone. We lack material evidence.
" Mu Yunyao slightly shook her head. This matter was too shocking, it was hard to believe in a single person's words.
"Material evidence is probably not easy to find, right? After all, a lot of things were washed away after the river broke its banks.
"
Mu Yunyao shook her head,
"No, we'll soon be able to see the evidence.
"
"Ah?
" Miss has already thought of a way to find evidence?
"
"Do you think that the reason I called the Jiang Prefecture Chief's book over was to say those two words?
"
"Is it not?
" The moment we entered Riverside City, we saw a bunch of old and weak women and children inside, and we didn't see any young or strong males. At the beginning, I thought that those able-bodied men had followed the county magistrate's book to fix the river, but after seeing those people who fixed the river, I was sure that many of them were definitely not ordinary people.
"Also, after more than half a month of repairing the river, without piling piles or protecting the dikes, they have only brought people to continuously dig and search the banks of the river. What do you think they are doing?
