Following the opening of the Treasure Aura Pavilion, the status of everyone was raised. After many enquiries, they finally confird the matter of purchasing the salt and directly sent the news back to the Tomb City.
Mu Yunyao passed a letter back to King Yue and asked, "Fourth Master, what do you think?"
Yue Yang placed the letter on the table, and lightly tapped it with his finger: "This is definitely not normal."
Mu Yunyao nodded in agreent. "As long as the officials aren't stupid, they naturally won't buy a large amount of salt at this critical mont. However, they did it on purpose, there must be a reason behind it." This large amount of silver would make the accounts extrely unsightly. Once this matter was reported to the emperor, there was a possibility that His Majesty would punish them. However, they were naturally willing to take such a huge risk, so the biggest reason was …
It's possible that there's sothing wrong with the silver. "
These days, they had also gathered a lot of information. They had so understanding about the salt tax loss. The most likely reason was that the salt tax hole was too big, so the salt rchants were unable to fill it in imdiately.
Mu Yunyao had the sa thought in her heart. "If there really is a problem with the money, then this matter will be easier to handle." King Yue nodded his head slightly. "There is a shortage of silver taels, so buying and transporting salt is natural, but the salt laws are extrely detailed in this area. The amount of salt purchased, the ships that are loaded, the routes that they travel, where they are shipped, and how they are distributed … They all had their own rules and regulations. If the salt rchants wanted to collude with the governnt, they could create a new sect together …
A fake. He would definitely try his best to disguise himself as thoroughly as possible. There won't be too much of a problem when purchasing the salt and loading the ship. The most likely problem is during the transportation process. " I heard that the price of salt fell a lot a few years ago, and the salt rchants were extrely dissatisfied. In the process of transporting salt, the salt ships were deliberately affected by the flood, causing a large amount of salt to fall into the river, causing a temporary shortage of salt.
in ti. "
"You an they might do it again this ti?"
"I was only guessing randomly, I can't be sure." Mu Yunyao didn't make things too difficult for him.
Yue Yang's brows twitched as he quickly thought in his heart: "I will get soone to check on them as soon as possible."
"Yes."
When Mu Yunyao returned ho, she began to carefully study the information regarding Li Yuan Yi. The more she read, the tighter her brows creased.
Jin Qiao brought out a cup of tea and said, "Miss, Miss Ming Yin has arrived."
"Bring her in."
The injuries on Ming Yin's body had already healed long ago. At this mont, she saw Mu Yunyao bowing deeply as she greeted, "Greetings, Lady Mu."
Mu Yunyao indicated for Jin Lan to withdraw before speaking. "Miss Ming Yin, no need to be so courteous. Please take a seat."
Ming Yin had a slightly perturbed expression on her face, and after she sat down, her fingers lightly twisted the hem of her skirt. From ti to ti, she would raise her head to look at Mu Yunyao.
"The reason why I invited you here, I presu that Manager Qin has already told you about it?"
"Yes, I already know."
Mu Yunyao nodded. "This matter is a little difficult for Miss. If you feel that it's too much effort, you can tell directly. I'll discuss it with Supervisor Qin to choose soone else."
"No!" Ming Yin stood up abruptly with a slightly hurried tone. "I am willing to do this. Please give a chance."
Mu Yunyao sized up Ming Yin and let out a faint sigh in her heart. Earlier, when she was discussing with Supervisor Qin, he had recomnded Ming Yin to approach Li Yuan.
Seeing Mu Yunyao fall into silence, Ming Yin stepped forward and kneeled down. "I don't know if Miss has ever heard Supervisor Qin say that I'm an orphan. However, I wasn't abandoned by my parents, but my family mbers were all hard by an adulterer!"
Mu Yunyao got up and helped Ming Yin up, "I heard from Supervisor Qin that your family has a grudge with Li Yuan, but I don't know the specifics. If you are willing, you can tell in detail. "Ten years ago, my father was the governor of Riverside City, and Li Yuan was still the patrolling officer of Riverside City. When Riverside City was hit by a drought that only happened once every hundred years, the imperial governnt ordered my father to send out the food. My father checked the granary according to the imperial edict and found that the grain within the granary had disappeared without a trace.
Replacing it was a bag of sand and sand, and only after a lot of investigation did they find out that it was Li Yuan who secretly took over the business and sold all the grains, exchanging them for silver taels! "
"After I ca to Tomb City, I had occasionally heard of what happened in Riverside City ten years ago. I didn't expect that your father was actually the Prefect of Riverside City — Lu Yan. Since Lord Lu has found out the truth, could it be that you haven't thought of a way to expose him? " "My father is an official, so when he saw that there was no food available in the city, he wanted to report the matter to the imperial governnt. Unfortunately, the Li family has too much power, and Li Qingzhou is the pri minister of the imperial court, so the news has yet to leave Riverside City."
After that, Li Yuan fabricated evidence and accused my father of this. So much so that when he brought it up now, the citizens of Riverside City began to curse loudly … "
Mu Yunyao sighed. "That's right, ten years ago, the Li family's power was at its peak. Although Li Yuan was a subordinate of the Li family, once this matter was brought to light, the Li family's reputation would be affected greatly. The Li family would naturally try their best to conceal it."
Ming Yin wiped away her tears. "At that ti, I was still young and it was the old housekeeper who had thought of a way to save my life. It's a pity that too much ti has passed and I can't find any evidence …" Mu Yunyao didn't know the truth about what had happened in the Tomb City, but he believed in Supervisor Qin's character, and also believed in the Battleaxe King's ability to select his candidates. If there really was a problem with Ming Yin, she would have definitely been selected long ago.
Really: "It has happened for many years. Please grieve."
"Miss Mu, I must have this chance to get close to Li Yuan Yi. No matter what the price is, as long as you give instructions, I will do my best to comply!" Mu Yunyao pondered for a mont, then nodded and said, "I can give you a chance, but can you guarantee that you won't reveal anything?" After all, if what had happened in Riverside City was true, there would be a blood feud between Ming Yin and Li Yuan. When that happened, he might even be able to control his enemies …
Are they going to kill him? I know that it is absolutely impossible for Li Yuan to accomplish all those years ago. There must have been the protection of the other mbers of the Li family, so I will not act rashly and will work hard to find evidence to make the person who frad my father pay the price for his innocence! "Ming Yin's eyes were firm.
