Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Hearing Yunyao say that she did not dare to completely trust the people around her, King Yu suddenly smiled, "Yunyao, you seem to have something in your words?"

"It's just a casual remark. It's fine if Second Uncle doesn't believe it, don't you think?"

"I understand, thank you Yun Yao for the reminder."

Mu Yunyao retracted her gaze. There was no need for her to say anything. This Prince Yu knew this in his heart. He just didn't know why he kept pretending to be confused.

"Yunyao, you let me investigate such an important case, aren't you afraid that I'll trick you into it?"

Mu Yunyao turned to look at him with a slight smile on her lips. "If Second Uncle had fooled us, the Duke of Wei would probably be very unhappy. "Miss Min might also be disappointed …"

King Yu patted his chest, "Yunyao, don't worry. I'll definitely get this case straight!" He would never let the mastermind get away with it!

"Then I am relieved. Second Uncle, please do your best. I do not want Fourth Master to waste any effort."

Fourth Master? Upon hearing this name and thinking about Mu Yunyao coming all the way from afar to look for someone, King Yu sighed, "Yunyao, stop calling me second uncle. Just call me King Yu first." In the future, he would just call her second brother …

Mu Yunyao naturally understood the meaning behind King Yu's words and changed her attitude. "Your Highness King Yu, please take your time to look through the documents. I'll go back and pack up my things. I'm preparing to set off at dawn."

"Alright."

After Mu Yunyao left, King Yu quickly skimmed through the various documents and testimonies. After he finished reading them, he sighed, "It looks like I won't be able to idle around for this period of time."

Si Qin followed Mu Yunyao back to her room. "Miss, there are still a few hours until daybreak. Please take a rest first. When daybreak arrives, your servant will come and call for you. Si Shu and I will pack our luggage."

Mu Yunyao shook her head and walked behind the table to write a letter. After writing it, she carefully sealed it, "Tomorrow, send someone to deliver this letter to the capital and give it to Grandmother."

"Yes, miss."

"Alright, I'll leave this to your highness, King Yu."

"Don't worry."

Mu Yunyao didn't say much as she mounted her horse and quickly headed in the direction of the city gate.

King Yu did not sleep that night. After sending Mu Yunyao off, he returned to the front hall of the county magistrate's office to look at the documents and confession statements.

"Your Highness, you haven't had a good night's sleep these past few days. Eat and rest."

King Yu raised his head and rubbed his neck, "How can we have time to rest? If we do not investigate this case thoroughly as soon as possible, it might cause some trouble."

For a character like him who has no benefits to give to them, would he actually commit such a head-slaying act? "

"Your Highness, you mean …"

"The salt tax books and the tax silver must have been forged, but the purpose wasn't to help the salt merchants escape the salt tax, but to make the real salt tax silver disappear."

"This season's salt tax is close to three million silver. If it's really like this, then they are too daring!" Your Highness, where do you think they will hide the silver? "

"You're really stupid just because they said you're stupid. Without the support of the people above, how could they hide the evidence so smoothly? "Naturally, we have to think of a way to send the silver to the capital!"

"In the capital... Your Highness, this … This matter is too big. If it is not handled well, I fear that the Emperor will vent his anger on you. "

The corner of King Yu's lips curled up in a smile, but his eyes turned cold. "Grandfather said that a man can do whatever he wants. There was no chance in the past, so how can we watch them do whatever they want now?"

Upon seeing his expression, the personal guard immediately stopped talking. Although his family's master usually watched him with a happy smile on his face, he was still a ruthless person who could kill his enemies on the battlefield. If he really got angry this time, he could only silently mourn for the officials and the salt merchants. His gloomy expression only appeared for a moment before King Yu returned to his previous smiling expression, "Sigh, Yao'er threw a scalding sweet potato at me. Moreover, I had no choice but to take it.

How unlucky, to be a brave man, alas! "

The personal guard couldn't help but twitch his lips, "You're a brave man, yet you're smiling. It seems like you're quite willing to put in a bit of effort." Mu Yunyao and the rest headed towards Yi River City. On the way, they met a kind-hearted old man who warned them, "Guests, don't go any further. A small hill in front of them is sliding down.

"Yishui City … I'm afraid we'll have to wait for the road to be repaired first."

Si Qin looked at the old man speaking, "Old man, do you know when the road will be cleared?"

"Who can say for sure, but there's no hope for the next month or two. "The calamity that befell Yi River City is even more important than Lin Jiang or Huai An. Right now, the city is probably like a vast ocean. What a sin …"

Mu Yunyao slightly frowned and said, "Old man, if you want to enter Yi River City, how many days do you need to take the detour?"

"Taking a detour to enter from the mountain path requires one to traverse two mountains. It would take at least two to three days. I advise everyone to forget about it. Even if we enter now, I'm afraid there won't be anyone left alive. "

Mu Yunyao felt a dull pain in her chest. "Thank you for the old man's reminder. "Let's go. We'll take a detour around the mountain and enter Yi River City."

The old man seemed to want to say something, but seeing their determined expressions, he could not help but shake his head: "What are you going in for? "There are no living people left anyway …"

At this moment, inside a mountain cave in the forest, the Titan King was sitting with his back against the mountain wall, one hand on his bent knees and the other by his side. There were wounds on his arm, and blood was still seeping out of them. His face was as pale as paper and his lips were cracked.

Inside the cave, many of the victims were gathered together, either lying down or sitting down. They were so hungry and hungry that they had lost their shape.

Suddenly, a woman screamed and started scratching at a man beside her. "Let go, let go of my child …"

In her arms was a child with a blue face. Her chest was moving up and down. It seemed like she wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

The man kicked the woman away and rushed to the door with the child in his arms. "This child is going to die, so we might as well use him to feed the wolves. Otherwise, all of us will die here!" Yue Yang, who had his eyes closed all this time, suddenly opened his eyes. He held onto the wall and used his sword to block the man from getting up: "Return the child to me!"
