Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 212

The Su residence was filled with endless cheers and laughter, but within the beautiful garden, King Yue's expression was exceptionally cold.

Steward Qin stood at the side with his hands behind his back, listening to Yu Yi's orders.

"Li Yuan, that place has been set. I do not wish for him to step foot into the Garden of Embroidery again for the next few days." King Yue's eyes darkened. It was as if a cold wind had blown past them, bringing with it an endless chill.

Relying on Li Yuan's personality, he had set his mind on Mu Yunyao. In the next few days, he would definitely think of all sorts of ways to woo her. Just thinking about such a scene made his killing intent rise.

Yu Yi hurriedly nodded his head and replied, "Please rest assured, Your Highness. This subordinate will handle this matter right away." He had already made up his mind. If he could not use proper business to tie up Li Yuan and keep him trapped in the yamen, even if he were to secretly put on a sack and break his legs, he could not let him appear in front of the prince.

Yue Yang nodded: "Go ahead." Sensing that the surrounding coldness had slightly decreased, Chief Steward Qin stepped forward and spoke, "My prince, with the help of Jiang Nan's not envious house, our manpower has gradually been planted. Recently, many news have been gathered here, the most obvious of which is that there is news about the First Prince and His Majesty.

"Jiang Nan, are we going to intervene and stop him?" "No need, we have been planning for so many years, the forces in Jiangnan have only just begun to take shape, we cannot easily expose them, otherwise, we might be uprooted by people, this time, when Yunyao's plan is completed, the salt merchants will probably be furious, if we cannot find a reason, then we might cause chaos in the whole Jiangnan."

"So, think of a way to lead the clues to the First Prince." "Yes, Your Highness." The salt merchants of Jiangnan had always had a deep roots. Even the emperor who had checked the salt policy before had a sense of propriety. He was afraid that it would cause a stir in Jiangnan and he hoped that the First Prince's influence would be able to hold on once the salt situation subsided.

Stay. Li Mu Nian had even sent down two bodyguards to supervise him, not allowing him to go to the back courtyard to drink. Unknowingly, he had gotten drunk, and when he woke up the next day, he did not even notice that Li Mu Nian had sent out two bodyguards to accompany him.

He felt a splitting headache coming on as he stood up, the world spinning around him. He wanted nothing more than to vomit out the bitter water in his stomach. For a time, not to mention not envious, even the yamen.

Mu Yunyao originally thought that in the next few days, Li Yuan would definitely come to pester her, but she did not expect that he would not show up once. She thought that he had made a move on her and even asked about it.

In Yangzhou City, the salt merchants gathered at Wu Min's residence with worried expressions, "Leader Wu, no matter what, we have to investigate this clearly. The salt carried on the salt ship involves several million silver taels, so we lost a lot of silver taels."

"The loss of several million silver taels is considered a small matter. The key point is, once this matter is investigated, I'm afraid we won't have any place left in Jiangnan."

"That's right..." Wu Min's eyebrows creased slightly and she looked relatively calm, "The matter has already been settled. There is no point thinking about anything else now. [No matter what the real situation is, to outsiders, the amount of salt that I bought has already reached the bottom of the river. This is a dead end. At least, the salt tax on my account has been leveled!]

It can be used to deal with the governor of the two rivers. "

"Even though you said it like that, but what will happen if the people from Yan City were to spread the news?"

Wu Min sneered, "I think the salt is sold for over ten million taels of silver. Those people took the salt ship away for the sake of money. Can they just foolishly hand it over to the government?"

"Chief Wu's words are extremely reasonable."

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

What could they discuss?

Initially, many people looked on with disdain, but when they saw the stamp at the bottom right corner of the post, they immediately rushed back to Wu Min's residence.

Wu Min was also holding the same card in her hand. Seeing that everyone was rushing back, she could not help but shake her head, "The letter was sent by the Governor of Two Rivers, Li Yuan. Whether it's true or false, we must not neglect it.

"Leader Wu, could it be that the matter regarding the salt ship was exposed?"

Wu Min did not have any clue as she felt uneasy. "I'm not too sure either. Let's go to the Spring Breeze Garden first."

"Sigh …"

That night, the salt merchants came to the Spring Breeze Garden with heavy thoughts. The usually lively Spring Breeze Garden was extremely quiet today, and the salt merchants found it increasingly difficult to calm down. When they arrived upstairs and saw the person sitting upright in the room, they couldn't help but open their eyes wide.

There was a smiling man sitting in the room. It was the same person they had met before!

Qi Ming smiled and stood up: "Greetings everyone. I presume I'm asking everyone to come. This matter is of great importance and needs some time to discuss. Please forgive me."

Wu Min's eyes shook violently before calming down. "Mr. Qi has been keeping us in the dark for a long time. To think that you would be a member of the Chief Supervisor's residence."

Everyone was still smiling, neither admitting nor denying. They turned around and instructed the girls to serve tea. When the tea was served, the ladies of the Spring Breeze House retreated, closing their doors and windows. The salt merchants were apprehensive. Even though all of them had experienced hardships, they were still a little confused. Previously, they had all prepared gifts and came to congratulate Wu Min's residence. They thought that this person was just a merchant with some background and wanted to earn some money from eating salt.

The situation was far from what they had expected.

They all looked around at the salt merchants, shook their heads and sighed, "This time, the things that you guys have done are way too much."

Wu Min Zhi replaced the crowd and asked, "What exactly does Mr. Qi mean by his words?"

Everyone smiled and looked over, "Boss Wu, why are you still pretending to be stupid? "I'm talking about the incident where the salt ship sank on the Xijiang River..."

Wu Min lifted her teacup and took a sip. With smooth and natural movements, she said, "We knew about this long ago. It's a pity. I heard that there was quite a lot of salt in that batch."

Qi Ming's expression turned cold, "From Chief Wu's point of view, you're not planning to negotiate with me about this matter?"

"We really don't understand what Mr. Qi means, nor do we know what we should discuss." Since that's the case, then I will have to trouble you all. I will prepare a present for you all another day, and then apologize to you all. As he spoke, he sneered, stood up and walked towards the door.
