Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 493



Jiang Wei knew that he was being pulled down by the guards, so when the victims saw this scene, their hearts trembled. They all gathered away from Mu Yunyao.

Mu Yunyao's gaze swept across them one by one before finally landing on the two people with their heads lowered, "Bring out those two men in black."

"Yes."

The two people that were brought out were both men. Their expressions were simple and honest, and after being captured, they couldn't help but kowtow to Mu Yunyao. "Princess, please spare our lives.

"Bring him down and interrogate him as well."

"Princess, we are all ordinary citizens. Why are you treating us like this? Even if you have done well to help the victims of the disaster, you can't just disregard human life like that. "

Mu Yunyao turned her head with a cold expression, "I was only bringing you guys down to interrogate you. Since when did I say I want your lives? The two of you keep saying that you are ordinary citizens, but I don't think any ordinary citizen of Riverside City who has the accent of the capital is here! "

Si Shu stepped forward and kicked a man in the crook of his leg. He then pulled out a dagger from the tattered clothes on his waist. "

The two men saw that the situation was bad and were about to bite the poison sacs at the back of their teeth to commit suicide, but before they could move, the guards holding them in place punched them in the cheek, directly knocking out two of their teeth.

"Miss, there's poison behind the teeth, it looks like they're deathsworn." Even if such a person were alive, it would still be extremely difficult for him to find anything.

"Take her down and interrogate her first. I don't believe that there really is a mouth that can't be pried open in this world."

"Yes."

Seeing this scene, the disheartened people immediately took a deep breath and looked around to see if anyone was among them.

Mu Yunyao looked at Jiang Yuan and turned around to speak to the victims. "I'll arrange a tent as soon as possible. Please stay in the tent for the time being, there's a high chance that there's a clue about the thieves hidden in Jiang Yuan, so I need to properly search for them. Please forgive me."

"Yes, this subject and the others will listen to the princess' arrangements."

Mu Yunyao had brought food and medicine for them, and had even killed the officials in the city who were blasphemous and incompetent. While they felt fear towards her, they also felt admiration from the bottom of their hearts, so they didn't dare to refute her words in the slightest and were arranged to leave obediently.

"Search this place thoroughly, see if we can find any clues."

After searching for nearly an hour, someone found the black ash left behind by the burnt paper under the soil. There was the knockout powder, the remnants of the incense … What was really useful was not found.

Mu Yunyao casually walked over when she suddenly saw a few osmanthus trees planted behind a wall. She circled around the walls and arrived under the osmanthus trees. Suddenly, his vision sharpened as he walked quickly towards a laurel tree. He carefully measured the two inconspicuous pebbles placed under the laurel tree.

Si Qin and Si Shu followed, "Miss, what's wrong with these few osmanthus trees?"

"See those two pebbles? There were moss growing on the pebbles, but there was no water in the garden. Furthermore, there was no flood. The soil in the yard was all dry … Go dig and see if you can find anything. "

"Yes." Si Qin walked forward and dug out the dirt under the pebbles. Not long after, he found a box and opened it. Inside was a hairpin, as if it was buried by a woman when she was bored. "

Mu Yunyao took over the hairpin and looked at it carefully. There was Chang'e Jade Rabbit engraved on the pearl hairpin, especially that rabbit. It was exceptionally exquisite and cute.

Mu Yunyao's finger gently caressed the handle of the hairpin before her finger suddenly stopped. She carefully examined it before pulling out a piece of paper from the hairpin. It seemed to be written in King Yue's handwriting. "Water."

Si Qin and Si Shu quickly thought, "Water? "Miss, could it be that Prince intends to say that he is in Yi River City?"

Mu Yunyao looked at the few pebbles after reading the note, and her brows slightly moved. "Is there water flowing in the river garden?"

"Yes, the garden here has also attracted some fresh water that runs through half of the courtyard."

"Have any of these pebbles been laid?"

"If that's the case... This servant will immediately go and find you. "

After about an hour, he fished out a stone from the water. It was wrapped in layers of kraft paper. The brown paper was opened layer by layer, revealing two silver ingots.

"Miss, these two silver ingots are marked on the bottom. It should be official silver."

"Silver?" "With such great effort, and with such a tight bag, are you trying to hide these two ingots of official silver?" Mu Yunyao took a gold ingot and carefully examined it. Suddenly, she felt that the weight of the ingot wasn't right. "This silver is too light …"

"Miss, could it be that these two silver ingots are fake?"

"Wrapped in kraft paper, afraid of being soaked in water to make two taels of silver." As Mu Yunyao spoke, she directly threw the silver ingot on the ground. With a 'pa da' sound, the silver ingot actually broke into pieces.

Si Shu exclaimed, "This silver ingot still has a layer of gilded silver on the outside, and the inside is made of clay?" No wonder you are afraid of being soaked in water! "

Mu Yunyao took a deep breath. "Collect all the broken silver taels. Also, you have to keep the whole thing well. You absolutely can't lose it!"

"Yes, miss."

On the way back to the county magistrate's office, Mu Yunyao's expression had always been unsightly.

Si Qin carefully asked: "Miss, since there are clues left behind by His Highness, Yue Wang, I presume he should be fine, please do not be so worried." If it's all right, why would they leave such important evidence in the water? " Mu Yunyao's thoughts were heavy. "Your Highness Duke of Yue is a strong martial artist, and he has Yu Heng, Yu Yi, and also has the help of the Esteemed Master to help him. Just what happened to force him into such a state?"

The situation? "He also found some money bags in the cellar behind the magistrate court. If it wasn't absolutely necessary, he definitely wouldn't have thrown away the things that I gave him …"

Inside the county magistrate's prison, Jiang Tonghui and the two men he had captured were both tied up. Their bodies were covered with bloody wounds, indicating that they had been tortured.

Mu Yunyao came to the dungeon and looked at Jiang You, who was tied up. "My lord has suffered so much, can it be that you still haven't remembered to say something?"

"Even if you are a noble princess, you can't treat a government official in such a manner!" Linjian Tongzhi's face was filled with grief and indignation.

Mu Yunyao sat in a chair brought over by Si Qin and Si Que and heard him laugh, "Any one of the crimes that you've committed is enough to put you to death. I'm only interrogating you now, so I might as well spare your life."

"I don't understand what the princess is saying."

"The salt tax, the counterfeiting of the silver taels, the murder of the prince of the dynasty, the murder of the salt merchant, the collusion with the destruction of the riverbank …" Every time Mu Yunyao said that she had committed a crime, Lin Jiang's expression became even more unsightly.

"How can a princess so casually slander the officials of the imperial government?" Lin Yemao loudly retorted, but his eyes were filled with guilt.

Mu Yunyao sneered as she stood up. She didn't go ahead and interrogate Lin Jiang as he would normally. Instead, she directly walked out of the prison.

Si Qin gave a small porcelain bottle to a guard who was waiting at the side. "Drink it down to Sir Tongzhi. Tomorrow morning, he will explain everything." "Yes."
