Chapter 199: Revenge of Previous Years
With the opening of Shibao Xuan, the rank of the ranks quietly improved, after much inquiry, finally determined the salt purchasing, and sent the news directly back to Jingling City.
Mu Yunyao sent Qi’s return letter to Wang for review: “Master Si, what do you think? ”
The King placed the letter on the table and tapped his fingers gently on it: “This is absolutely unusual. ”
Mu Yunyao nodded in favour: “As long as the officials are not foolish, they will naturally not buy a large amount of salt on this ribbed eye, but they have done so for a reason. ”
“Purchasing salt now costs a lot of silver, looking at the forthcoming verification of salt taxes, this large amount of silver is going to be very ugly on the books, and once things are reported to the Emperor, there is a possibility that they may be held accountable by the Emperor, but they are naturally willing to take such great risks, then the biggest reason may be that the silver is in question. ”
Over the years, a lot of information has been gathered. There is some understanding of the salt tax deficit by salters. The biggest possibility is that the salt tax holes are too large for salt dealers to fill them out at once before coming up with such a countermeasure.
Mu Yunyao thought the same way: “If something really went wrong with the silver, it would be fine. ”
Wang Weiwei: “Silver two deficiencies, buying salt and transporting salt is also a natural defect, but the salt government is extremely detailed in this regard, how much salt to buy, what boat to load, what route to take, where to go, how to distribute… all have a statute, if the salt merchants want to collaborate with the government, they will do their best to disguise it. Salt can be purchased and loaded without major problems, most likely in the course of delivery. ”
“The Fourth Master said that I remembered something. I heard that the price of salt had dropped sharply in previous years. Salt merchants were extremely dissatisfied. In the course of delivering salt, the salt boat was deliberately flooded and a large amount of salt fell into the river, causing a shortage of salt at one time, the people bought it and the price rose several times in a short time. ”
“Are you saying that this time they could have done it again? ”
“It’s just a random guess, I’m not sure.” Mu Yunyao didn’t say too much.
Wang Wang’s eyebrows moved and thought quickly in his heart: “I will have someone verify it as soon as possible. ”
“Mmm.”
When Mu Yunyao returned home, he carefully studied the news about Li Yuanyi, and the tighter he looked at his eyebrows.
Bringing the teapot up, “Miss, Miss Mingyun is here. ”
“Invite her in. ”
Ming Yaoying’s injuries have already been healed. At this time, he saw Mu Yunyaoying praying next week: “I have seen Miss Mu. ”
Mu Yunyao told Jinlan to retreat before he said: “Miss Mingyun, please sit down. ”
The sound of the inscription was a little twitchy. After sitting down, his fingers slightly strangled the skirt, and from time to time he looked up at Mu Yunyao.
“The reason I asked the girl to come here, I thought the Qin manager had already told you? ”
“Yes, I already know. ”
Mu Yunyao nodded: “There may be many difficulties for the girl in this matter. If you feel reluctant, you can tell me directly. I will consult with Qin management to choose someone else. ”
“No!” the inscription stood up in a hurry, “I’m willing to do this, ask the girl to give me a chance. ”
Mu Yunyao measured the mingling tone and sighed slightly in his heart. Earlier, when he consulted with Qin management, he recommended the mingling tone to approach Li Yuanyi. Later, after careful inquiry, he found out that Mingling’s family was all harmed by Li Yuanyi.
Seeing Mu Yunyao’s silence, he knelt directly before the inscription: “I don’t know if the girl has heard Qin’s management say that I am an orphan, but I was not abandoned by my parents, but my relatives were all murdered by traitors! ”
Mu Yunyao rose up to lift up the inscription: “I heard from Qin’s manager that your family and Li Yuan-soon had resentment, but I don’t know exactly how. If you want to, please tell me in detail. If I can help, I will do my best! ”
With tears in his eyes, Mingying quickly said: “Ten years ago, my father was in Linjiangcheng Zhifu, Li Yuanyi or Linjiang Patrol. Linjiangcheng suffered a century-old drought, and the imperial court ordered the food to be delivered. My father went to inspect the grain warehouse in accordance with the holy intent, and found that the grain in the warehouse did not fly. Instead, it was a bag of mud sand, which was later verified by multiple parties. It was Li Yuanyi who sold all the grain for silver! ”
“When I came to Jingling City, I also occasionally heard about what happened in Jiangcheng 10 years ago. I didn’t expect that your father was the Linjiang City capital – Luyan. Now that Lord Lu has found out the truth, can’t you find a way to expose him? ”
When I think of the past, I couldn’t help but tremble, and the hatred flashed in my eyes: “My father was the official, and when I saw that there was no food available for the people of Lingcheng, I angrily wanted to report the matter to the court. Unfortunately, the Li family was too powerful, and Li Qingzhou was the princess of the dynasty, and the news was intercepted before he came to Jiangcheng. After that, Li Yuan made up the evidence and planted the matter on my father’s head, so much so that by now, the people of Linjiangcheng were scolded…”
Mu Yunyao sighed: “Yeah, ten years ago, the Li family’s power was exactly as it was in the middle of the day. Although Li Yuanyi was a sidekick to the Li family, once things came out, the impact on the Li family’s reputation was also extremely bad. The Li family naturally tried to hide it. ”
Mindfulness wiped my tears dry: “At that time, I was a young man, an old housekeeper tried to save my life, but unfortunately, after too long, I can’t find any evidence…”
What really happened in Lingcheng at that time, Mu Yunyao did not know, but he believed in the person in charge of Qin and also believed in the ability of the King to select people. If there is a real problem, it must have been screened out early, so what she said is most likely true: “It has been happening for many years, please feel sorry for the girl. ”
“Miss Mu, I must get this opportunity to approach Li Yuanyi right now. Whatever the cost, I will do my best to comply with it as long as the girl tells me to! ”
Mu Yunyao thought for a moment, then nodded and said: “I can give you a chance, but may you promise not to show any horse foot?” After all, if what is happening in Jiangcheng is true, there will be a deep blood resentment between Mingyun and Li Yuanyi. When you see your enemies in front of you, you may control the killer without pain?
Mingyeng’s eyes are firm: “Please rest assured, I know that things could never be done by Li Yuan alone, among them must be the protection of the rest of the Li family, so I will not act impulsively, I will try to find evidence, so that whoever framed my father in that year will pay the price, and return my father a innocent one! ”
