Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

As Mu Yunyao listened to Qi Yun's words and looked at the hydrographic map of the river, her thoughts became complicated.

Prince Jin had been secretly observing her from time to time. A profound emotion flashed across his eyes from time to time. No one knew what he was thinking about.

King Yu could not help but speak up, "Third Uncle, if there's really no other way, we should move some of the citizens away. Otherwise, once the summer floods arrive, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"It is hard to separate from one's homeland, and it requires a lot of manpower and material resources to move the people. Unless it is absolutely necessary, you cannot use this method."

King Yu gritted his teeth as his gaze swept over the two kings who had nothing to do with him. "Big brother, I see that you are confident. Have you thought of a good idea?" King Qinguang sneered: "Didn't royal father leave this matter to Master Qi? This king has not studied much about the construction of riverbanks, and is unable to understand the reason behind it. Everything will be under the control of Lord Qi. " Humph, from the looks of it, Qi Yun didn't have the ability to build a dam before Xia Hong arrived

If he failed to reap the rewards, he would instead become a sinner that everyone cursed at. At that time, the good name of the Duke of Wei would be ruined forever.

The corners of King Yu's lips curled up, "Then I shall report this to royal father and let him see Big Brother's capabilities."

"You …" "I am your brother. Is this how you speak to your royal brother?"

"Imperial Brother, you should wait until we return to the capital before we pay any more attention to these etiquette. Here, the riverbank is the most important, and the commoners are the first. If Eldest Brother feels that he can't help, then he should return to the capital."

"You … You simply have no respect for your elders? "

"Royal brother can also report me in front of royal father!" Right now, both King Yu and King Jin did not like each other. If it were not for the fact that they did not care about their status, they would have thought of ways to vent their anger.

King Yue had been silent the entire time. When he saw that Mu Yunyao's gaze was fixated on the hydrographic map, he could not help but ask softly, "Yao`er, did you notice anything?"

Mu Yunyao slightly shook her head. "I'm not too sure either. I just feel that the river bank seems to be a bit too curved. If this river channel bends, it'll be difficult to build a dike."

When Qi Yun heard these words, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Mu Yunyao with a burning gaze. "Princess, did you just say that the river course is curved?"

"Yeah, but what's wrong with that?"

Qi Yun's eyes lit up. He grabbed the hydrographic diagram and looked at it. "River bends, river bends …" If he wanted to build the dam as soon as possible, then he might as well make a turn for the better! Right, let's make it straight! "

Qi Yun could not hold in his laughter as he stepped forward to bow and thank Mu Yunyao, "Thank you, Princess, for your advice. I know what to do now."

Mu Yunyao hurriedly got up to dodge, "What is Senior Qi doing? I only casually said that one sentence, I didn't think I would be able to help."

"Princess, this unintentional sentence opened my eyes. I will definitely report it to the Emperor."

"Lord Qi is too polite, I didn't help much."

After getting up, Qi Yun immediately gathered the workers on the riverbank and charged into the heavy rain to figure out how to proceed. His third uncle's specialty was studying water affairs. Back then, he had obviously won the title of the top scorer, yet he had given up on being an official in the capital and had wholeheartedly thrown himself onto the river labourer. Unfortunately, his grandfather had allowed him to do whatever he wanted, and he could report wherever he wanted …

Prince Jin stood up and looked at Mu Yunyao. "Yunyao, you're really smart. In my opinion, there are so many women in the capital, but none of them can compare to you."

"There are mountains beyond the mountain, and there are people beyond the mountain. Third Uncle's words are too excessive."

King Jin smiled and turned to look at Titan: "Fourth brother, I am also worried about the situation at the riverbank. I would like to take a look at the riverbank, would fourth brother send someone to guide us?"

Only Mu Yunyao and King Yue remained in the front hall.

"Master Four, what do you mean by that?"

"I don't know where he sensed that something was wrong, but he has been keeping an eye on me these past few days. He has even been secretly investigating my relationship with the Nebula Pavilion and the Avaricious Restaurant. It is truly a headache."

Mu Yunyao's eyes flashed with a cold intent, "Fourth Master, I haven't been able to figure out one thing. Tell me, the salt tax silver has been replaced with clay mounds mixed with iron sand. What about the real tax silver?"

"I've been getting tracked, too, but I don't have a clue." It was as if all that silver had vanished into thin air; there was no trace of it to be found.

Mu Yunyao couldn't help but guess, "Could it be that they've already been transported to the capital and aren't in Jiangnan anymore?" "It is extremely difficult to transport so much silver into the capital. No matter how capable Prince Jin is, he will not be able to transport it away silently, unless …" Yue Yang suddenly lifted his eyes, the deep light in his eyes making it seem as if there was no starlight in the night sky. "Unless we guessed wrong earlier, the fake tax money is not here.

The salt tax case had just broken out, but from the very beginning, the salt merchants had tried to hide it from the world by using counterfeit taxes and silver. As for the silver taels that you truly owe, they have not been exchanged for silver taels at all. Instead, they are directly sent to the capital through banknotes. "

Mu Yunyao's heart sank. "If that's really the case, then it probably won't be easy to investigate. Several million silver is extremely heavy, but several million silver notes are so heavy that it's hard to notice even if you casually hide them."

King Yue slightly furrowed his brows. "Indeed."

Mu Yunyao pondered for a moment before suddenly raising her brows. "Fourth Master, the princes are currently in Jiangnan. It should be much more convenient to act in the capital, right?"

"Yao'er, you mean to say … "A two-pronged attack?" "For this matter, I spent quite a bit of money. I must find a way to earn some back. Fourth Master should ask the capital to look around and see if I can find any clues. It would be best if I could start from the bank." "If Prince Jin really gets so much silver, he will definitely get it."

If he wanted to exchange for a portion of silver, he had to get involved from the bank.

"Alright, I understand."

A fast horse stealthily rushed to the capital under the cover of the night.

Mu Yunyao had just fallen asleep when she heard a burst of noise coming from outside, "What's wrong?" Si Qin quickly walked in. "Reporting to Miss, Prince Jin injured his arm to save a civilian who fell into the water. Blood was flowing profusely, and the imperial physicians have already rushed over."
