"Yao'er, my selfishness is heavy, I clearly understand that this matter should not involve you in it, but I am unwilling to let you go just like that. If we were to succeed in this scheme, I'm afraid we would lose our lives here, would you regret it?

"

Mu Yunyao couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips as she tilted her head slightly. Her watery eyes unblinkingly stared at him.

"If I regret it, would Master Four let me leave?

"

"Nope.

"

"Then I will not regret it. Moreover, if they want to scheme against our lives, we will have to see if they have the ability to do so!

"

"Your Highness, King Yu.

"

"Second brother... With him here, we have a better chance of winning.

"

Mu Yunyao nodded and took out the bag with the ingots of treasures from her sleeve.

"Fourth Master, this was found in the cellar in the yard behind River County's magistrate court. What happened after you came here?

"

Mu Yunyao still addressed King Yue as Fourth Master, but she no longer addressed you respectfully and instead changed it to you. Neither of them said it openly, but both of them felt that the title of Fourth Master held a special meaning to them. King Yue's eyes darkened slightly as he recounted his previous experiences,

"Under my royal father's orders, I came here to investigate the case of the salt tax deficit. However, upon arrival, I discovered that the salt tax books prepared by the salt transport envoy and the yamen authorities were flawless.

The traces. However, I felt that the people guarding the warehouse were especially nervous. Afterwards, when no one was looking, I stealthily returned to the warehouse and discovered that the so-called tax money was all made from pottery mixed with iron sand. It was just that there was a layer of silver on the outside.

"

"The two pieces of tax that I found in the pond at Riverside Garden were taken out of the warehouse by Fourth Master?

" Yes, there are people watching my every move in Jiangnan. Carrying two taels of silver with me is too eye-catching, so I made a mark and placed it in Linjiang Garden. Lin Jiang Garden was built by Zhou Huai, a salt merchant in Lin Jiang city, to liaise with local salt merchants and please local officials. There were many young men and women raised inside.

Women have all been carefully trained and have used bewitching methods. I wonder how many of them have fallen because of this.

"

"Yao'er, don't worry. Regardless of whether it is my body or heart, I am loyal and devoted to you.

"

Mu Yunyao pursed her lips and smiled as she secretly snorted in her heart. If the Beamon King had any other intentions, then she would have had a life on her hands. They wanted to curry favor with me using those methods, but after discovering that I was unfit to enter, they secretly drugged me and locked me up in the cellar where you said they would. After being locked up, they thought that I had no way out, so they relaxed their guard a little, allowing me to gather quite a bit of information. These salt merchants were scared stiff by the salt tax case in Yangzhou city. They wanted to find a backer to support, so they set their sights on Prince Jin. Worried that the Prince of Jin wouldn't accept them, he pulled him onto a boat and secretly sent salt tax in the name of filial piety to the capital.

The portion shall be given to the Jin King Flower.

"

Mu Yunyao suddenly understood in her heart,

"No wonder Prince Jin spent so much money on it.

"

"Since I obtained so much silver for free, naturally, I won't feel bad about it.

" When the salt merchants saw that Prince Jin had accepted them, they became more daring. They wantonly sold salt in Jiangnan, secretly raising the price of the salt, hoping to earn back the lost silver taels. It's just that King Jin wasn't the only one who was staring at this piece of fat. Through our shared fame, we let him discover Jin …

After the actions of the king and the salt merchants, he secretly thought of ways to expose the matter. In addition, you and I reached out to touch Yang Lian, making the salt merchants even more flustered. So I came up with a fake salt tax account book and a fake salt tax tax silver.

"

Mu Yunyao couldn't help but sneer,

"These people are really audacious.

" The amount of taxes and taxes involved was too great. If it was investigated by the imperial government, even if there were nine families involved, they would not be able to escape from within the three clans. In any case, they had already taken the risk once, and with Prince Jin's plan supporting them from behind, they felt even more confident. At first he

After the King discovered us, he wanted us to blow up. He wanted us to let the river water him up, and when the matter is exposed, Royal Father would definitely be furious, and we would be able to cause Prince Jin to be scolded by the people of the world.

"

Mu Yunyao's eyes were cold.

"In order to blow up this matter, in order to oppose Prince Jin, you actually chose to ignore the lives of so many commoners on both sides of Riverside City. This Prince is truly cold-blooded.

" I also didn't expect that you would be the one to reverse the situation. However, compared to controlling the hearts of the people, Wang Lin was no match for Prince Jin. A spy had appeared beside him, and he had told Prince Jin of his plan and plan. Prince Jin had planned everything, and even I had schemed against him. He wanted to use the King's hand to kill me and blow me to pieces … Table of Contents

The matter of the embankment was leaked out.

"

Mu Yunyao thought about it carefully. She was a little puzzled in her heart,

"Fourth Master, according to what you said, it's already been over twenty days since the river broke and there's still no news of the King and Prince Jin making a ruckus. There aren't even any rumors spreading out …

"

"Because they couldn't find any evidence against each other. There was a problem when the riverbank was blown up, and the river waters were too fierce. Many of the King and Prince Jin's men were killed and injured, catching them off guard.

"

"This is such a big matter, did you not leave any evidence?

"

King Yue smiled:

"Of course there is, but I hid it.

"

Mu Yunyao stared blankly for a moment before opening her eyes wide,

"Master Four hid away?

"

"The King and the King of Jin both lost, but they did not want the King of Yue to profit from this. This is truly a mountain higher than the King of Yue.

" Well, thank you very much, actually. Before this, you sent six taels of silver to deliver three letters. One of the letters explained your guess and told me to pay attention to the riverbank. The other two were to imitate the handwriting of King Yu and King Jin, making it easier for me to obtain the letters. After I learned that the salt tax tax silver was forged, I asked someone to investigate

The salt merchant who was attached to Prince Jin sought out craftsmen who had forged the official silver. There's a lot of official silver and a lot of clay and iron sand. I started with private kilns in various places and found some clues, so I came to Yi River City in the middle of the night.

"

"Could it be that the fake taxes came from Yi River City?

"

"Well, because it's too urgent, I didn't dare delay my arrival here. I used the letter you gave me to find out about an important piece of material — a mold used to make counterfeit tax money. This is what King has been looking for.

"
