Chapter 466
King Yue threw the letter into a charcoal brazier and burned it. He then quickly flipped through the messages sent over by Bu Fang. After rummaging for a long time, he came up empty-handed.
Mu Yunyao also felt that there was a problem, so she couldn't help but tighten the space between her brows. "The information in the Unenviable Pavilion is complicated, it's unavoidable to delay it. If …"
Mu Yunyao did not finish her sentence, but King Yue had already understood her meaning. It was normal for news to be delayed for a period of time, but if there was no way to spread it, then something must have gone wrong.
King Yue's eyes darkened. "When we were building this building, we only wanted to spread out the scene as soon as possible. There are many things that could not be overlooked. Now that the situation is under control, it's time to properly clean things up."
Mu Yunyao looked at the charcoal brazier filled with ashes. "Since Your Highness knows about the problem of the Jiangnan Salt Tax appearing again, how do you plan to deal with it?"
"Currently, the information is not accurate. It only says that the Jiangnan salt tax has been tampered with. However, the specific details have yet to be verified. I will get people to investigate the information as soon as possible." Mu Yunyao nodded. There were too many ways to tamper with the salt tax. The last time the salt tax incident had occurred in Yangzhou City, someone had tampered with the tax and collected too much of the tax.
The false image of a salt ship sinking would offset the deficit. This time, he only knew that there was a problem with the salt tax, but he did not know where the problem was. Did he fail to collect the salt tax according to his share like last time, or was he connected to the government by maliciously lowering the tax and raising the price of salt? Or had he done something about the amount of salt? Only by investigating these things
Only with a clear understanding could he get the right medicine.
Thinking that there might be a problem with the not envious building, King Yue's heart sank. "Yunyao, you have to be extra careful these days. Prince Jin has been investigating the Neon Cloud Workshop and the Not Envy Pavilion. He seems to be suspicious of these two places."
"King Jin … Speaking of him, it seems that Yang Lian, the envoy from the Jiang Dynasty, has met with Prince Jin since he returned to the capital a few days ago. "
"Mm. On the surface, it might seem like they bumped into each other at some street restaurant, but for a prince of the imperial court and a third rank official, it doesn't seem like the case at all."
Mu Yunyao's brows slightly moved as she made a bold guess, "Your Highness, do you think that Prince Jin's so generous with his money could be the result of Jiang Nan's salt tax?"
Yue Yang subconsciously shook his head, "This should not be … The tax on salt is extremely important, royal father has been keeping a close eye on this piece of land. Previously, royal brother had already suffered, the Jin Emperor would not do anything without thinking. "
"I'm not afraid of ten thousand taels of silver, just in case. I always felt that Prince Jin was lacking in silver, but he was born lacking in silver, so where did the silver come from?" It couldn't have fallen from the sky. "
King Yue's expression was solemn: "I will have my men check as soon as possible, if King Jin is really involved with the Jiangnan salt tax, then this matter will be serious." Every time it involved the salt tax, it would shock the entire country. If it involved the current dynasty's prince, who knew how much trouble it would cause?
Mu Yunyao saw the tiredness on his face and couldn't help but feel a bit of heartache. "Your Highness, don't be too anxious. Just come one step at a time."
When King Yue heard Mu Yunyao's concern, a warm smile appeared in his eyes. "Mmm."
After telling the matter to King Yue, Mu Yunyao's heart felt a lot more at ease.
Eunuch Cheng walked in and placed the tea on the table with a face full of smiles. "There are two new chefs in the manor. If you like it, when you leave later, get someone to write down the dessert recipe for young miss. "
"
"Then how about I go take a look later?"
"Of course it's better, I don't know what kind of railings young miss likes, but a few days ago young master was thinking about building some railings and small pavilions around the lotus pond, if young miss likes them then you can also tell young master."
Even though he knew that Miss Mu was related to her master by blood, but seeing them standing side by side like a couple, Eunuch Cheng still could not help but try to match them. "Ai, what a perfect match, it's just a pity that fortune makes a fool of you."
Mu Yunyao gave a spurious smile as she looked at King Yue, "Didn't King Yue just receive his salary? Didn't he have no money left? Why do you still have the energy to build small pavilions? "
King Yue's expression did not change. "I just borrowed a sum."
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but find it laughable. This person used the silver she lent to build her own estate, it's really …
Yue Yang then stood up: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the spring."
After looking at the lotus pond, Mu Yunyao bid farewell and left.
Yue Yang sent her out, turned around and immediately ordered his men to prepare. Not Envy Pavilion was the foundation for him to take control of Jiangnan. Even if he had to endure the pain and clean up the place, he could not leave any hidden dangers behind.
As the orders were passed down one by one, a storm and undercurrents were stirred up.
In the Su Clan's estate, the atmosphere was enthusiastic.
Although Zhang Wan was personally bestowed a marriage under the Emperor's decree and was Su Qingwu's equal wife in name and was on par with the Sixth Princess of Huai Yang, there was still a difference in status. In addition, Zhang Wan's father was extremely upset over her insistence on marrying Su Qingwu, and the preparations for the marriage dowry had been made in an especially hasty manner.
At this moment, Zhang Wan was sitting in her new room. She lifted her head and lifted the hood. She looked at the Dragon and Phoenix candles on the table not too far away, and a strong sense of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
Senior Servant Xi quickly spoke up to stop her. "Young Miss, this red veil is for Young Master to lift. It's against the rules for you to do so."
"Don't worry. No one cares about the rules and regulations. Tonight, Su Qingwu won't come to my place."
At this time, the faint sounds of worship could be heard from outside.
Zhang Wan stood up and walked to the side of the table. When she saw the half familiar things on the table, she immediately instructed Senior Servant Xi, "Exchange these things and cook the noodles. After a day of starvation, you don't have any strength left."
"Young mistress..."
"If I told you to go, then go. Where did all this nonsense come from?" Zhang Wan looked impatient.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came through the door, "Miss, the Su Clan's Second Madam is here."
Second Wife Qi?
Zhang Wan's expression changed as she ordered, "Quickly invite them in."
Second Wife Qi followed behind two of the mama carrying tea flowers. "Place the tea flowers on the ground. Be careful. Don't knock them out."
Zhang Wan stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings, Second Aunt."
"Wan'er, hurry up and get up. Let me take a look at this bride. She truly is beautiful. Qingwu is blessed." With a carefree smile on her face, Madam Qi praised Zhang Wan with complete sincerity.
Zhang Wan raised her hand and touched the scar on her face. "It's good as long as you don't scare Second Aunt." What are you talking about? Your bearing is extraordinary, even with some scars on your cheeks. Yun Yao sent someone to deliver this pot of tea flowers to me, I'm especially warning you, for me to bring it directly to your room, I've had someone take care of it, look at this tea flower, every single one of them has a beautiful and delicate appearance, it makes one feel extremely happy.
