Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

There was constant laughter in the Su residence, but in the Jinxiu Garden, King Yue's expression was extraordinarily cold.

Qin Guanshi stood with his hands behind his back, listening to King Yue's instructions to Yu Yi.

"Li Yuanyi's place has been carefully settled. I don't want him to set foot in Jinxiu Garden again in the next few days." King Yue lowered his eyes, as if a snowstorm had blown through his eyes, filled with boundless chill.

Relying on Li Yuanyi's temperament, he has thoughts about Mu Yunyao, and he will definitely try his best to pursue her in the next few days. Just thinking about such a scene makes him feel murderous.

Yu Yi quickly nodded in response: "My lord, don't worry, I'll take care of it now." He had already made up his mind, if he couldn't tie up Li Yuanyi with business and trap him in the yamen, it would be considered a covert sack. Even if his legs were broken, he would not be allowed to appear in front of the prince again.

King Yue nodded: "Go ahead and do it."

Sensing that the surroundings were less cold, Steward Qin stepped forward and said, "My lord, with the help of the Buxian Building, our manpower has been gradually deployed in the Jiangnan side. Recently, a lot of news has gathered, the most obvious of which is about the big The news about Prince Ling, he seems to be slowly infiltrating the south of the Yangtze River, do we want to stop it?"

"No, we have been planning for many years, and our influence in the south of the Yangtze River has only begun to take shape. It cannot be easily exposed, otherwise, it is very likely to be uprooted. This time, when Yunyao's plan is completed, the salt merchants may be angry. If you can't find the root cause, it might turn the whole Jiangnan upside down, so let's find a way to lead the clue to the eldest prince."

"Yes, my lord." Qin steward walked out with a smile on his face. Jiangnan salt merchants have always had a deep foundation. The political affairs have subsided, and I hope the power of the eldest prince can withstand it.

The words were divided into two parts. After Li Yuanyi was warned by Li Munian again, he was in a bad mood. In order to supervise him, Li Munian even sent two guards to follow him. He could not go to the Buxian Building, so he drank in the backyard of the government office. , Unknowingly, he was drunk, and when he woke up the next day, he only felt a splitting headache, and when he stood up, he was dizzy, wishing to spit out all the bitter water in his stomach. Not to mention not envious of the building for a while, I can't even go to the yamen.

Mu Yunyao thought that in the next few days, Li Yuanyi would definitely come to Buxianlou to pester her, but she didn't expect that he didn't show up even once. She thought it was King Yue who made the move, so she asked specifically, but it was a pity that King Yue Asking one question and three questions without knowing the appearance, in the end, he could only let it go.

In Yangzhou City, salt merchants gathered at Wu Minzhi's mansion one after another, with sad faces on their faces: "Boss Wu, this matter must be investigated no matter what, the salt loaded on the salt boat involves several million taels of silver. I personally lost a lot of money.”

"The loss of a few million taels of silver is still a trivial matter. The key is that once the matter is found out, we may no longer have a foothold in Jiangnan."

"yes……"

Wu Minzhi's brows were slightly frowned, and his expression seemed to be quite stable: "The matter has come out, and it's useless to think about other things now. No matter what the real situation is, in the eyes of outsiders, the batch of official salt purchased has sunk to the bottom of the river. There is no evidence of death, at least, the salt tax has been settled on the books and can be used to deal with the Governor of Liangjiang."

"Although that's what I said, but this matter is really aggrieved, and the people who robbed us in Yancheng, if the matter is exposed, what will happen then?"

Wu Minzhi sneered: "I'm afraid that those salts were sold for tens of millions of taels of silver. Since those people hijacked the salt boat, they naturally wanted to make money. How could they be foolish enough to hand over the salt boat to the government?"

"What Chief Wu said is extremely reasonable."

"Yeah, I shouldn't be so stupid."

The salt merchants left with a heavy heart, and not long after, they received a post at the same time, inviting them to go to Chunfengyuan to discuss important matters.

Chunfeng Garden is very famous in Yangzhou City, and it is famous for its vocal music. The girls in it are all well-known ladies and gentlemen. Everyone has a very high attainment in rhythm, and they are extremely sought after by some romantic talents. But this is not a serious place after all, if you invite them to Chunfeng Garden, what important things can you discuss?

At first many people dismissed it, but when they saw the seal in the lower right corner of the post, they couldn't help but become serious, and rushed to Wu Minzhi's house again.

Wu Minzhi also held the same post in his hand. Seeing everyone rushing back, he couldn't help but shook his head: "Look at the seal post was sent by Li Yuan, the governor of Liangjiang. No matter whether it is true or not, we can't neglect it. Come with me to the Spring Breeze at night." Court."

"Boss Wu, could it be that the matter of the salt boat was exposed?"

Wu Minzhi didn't have the slightest idea, and always felt extremely uneasy: "I don't know what happened, I'd better go to Chunfengyuan to meet someone first and then talk about it."

"Ugh……"

In the evening, the salt merchants came to Chunfengyuan with a lot of worries, but the formerly lively Chunfengyuan was extremely quiet today, and the salt merchants became more and more uneasy. When they went upstairs and saw the people sitting in the room, they couldn't help but widen their eyes. : "Mr. Qi?"

The smiling people sitting in the room are exactly the same names as they have seen before!

Qi Ming smiled and stood up: "Everyone is polite. I take the liberty to invite you here. This is really a very important matter that needs to be discussed carefully. Please forgive me."

Wu Minzhi's eyes flickered violently, and then he regained his composure: "Mr. Qi has been hiding it from us so hard, I never thought that Mr. Qi is from the Governor's Mansion."

Qi Ming smiled as before, without acknowledgment or denial, and turned to order the girls on one side to serve tea. When the tea cups were all set, the girls in Chunfeng Building retreated one by one, closing the doors and windows tightly.

The salt merchants felt uneasy, even though each of them had experienced storms, they were also a little confused at this moment: before they came to Wu Minzhi's house to congratulate Wu Minzhi with their names and gifts, they thought that this person was just a businessman with a little background, They also want to make a fortune on salt, but now it seems that things are far from what they expected.

Qi Ming looked around at the salt merchants present, shook his head and sighed, "Everyone, what you did this time is really too much."

Wu Minzhi spoke on behalf of everyone: "What does Mr. Qi mean exactly?"

Qi Ming smiled and looked over: "Why does Chief Wu continue to pretend to be confused? What I said naturally refers to the fact that the official ship carrying salt sank on the Xijiang River some time ago..."

Wu Minzhi picked up the teacup and took a sip, his movements were smooth and natural: "We have known about this for a long time. It is a pity to say it. I heard that the batch of salt was quite a lot."

Qi Ming's expression turned cold: "Look at the meaning of Chief Wu, are you planning to discuss this matter with me?"

"We really don't understand what Mr. Qi means, and we don't know what to discuss."

"If that's the case, then I'm harassing you all. I'll prepare presents and apologize to you some other day. Please come back." Qi Ming said with a sneer, got up and walked towards the door.
