    Feng Sheng Lady¡¯s Mansion

    In the evening, the bright moon rises.

    Under the bright moonlight, Qiao Mu, Zhen Shijia and the Sixth Prince all met in Naxiang Garden.

    The Sixth Prince had just been detoxified and was still very weak. Zhen Shijia was worried that if something happened to him again, he might not be able to be saved, so when he went out to do errands at noon, he sent the Sixth Prince to the hospital.  Saint Lady's House.

    The arbor is also for safety reasons.

    He was specially arranged to live in a relatively central location in the mansion, that is, in the Naxiang Garden adjacent to the east side of the main courtyard in the center of Lady Dianzi's mansion.

    When everyone is discussing things at this time, it is naturally impossible to move him to a secret room to discuss it.

    Therefore, we can only take a little more confidentiality measures and discuss here on the spot. Under the bright candlelight, Zhen Shijia repeatedly confirmed that no one was eavesdropping before telling him about his experience today.

    "This matter is probably being manipulated by the Lingnan Su family. The Su family used to engage in private salt trading, so they are very familiar with this industry, and only their family can do this kind of decisive killing method.  If the prince is personally controlling it, he should try to avoid killing too many people."

    Zhen Shijia has channels for obtaining exclusive information, and so does the Sixth Prince. He certainly doesn¡¯t know as much about the local details as Zhen Shijia.

    But Zhen Shijia¡¯s overall understanding of the prince¡¯s power was far less than that of the sixth prince.

    ¡°Lingnan Su family?

    Wasn¡¯t their family surrounded and suppressed by the late emperor¡¯s troops more than 40 years ago because of large-scale sales of illegal salt?

    ¡°It¡¯s really unbelievable that the prince would even take their family under his banner. What on earth does the prince want to do? The Su family has a grudge against the royal family.

    Mother, how is the situation over there?  "

    Although Zhen Shijia was a little surprised, she didn't find it difficult to accept it. When the prince seized the throne, he naturally tried to win over all the forces he could.

    It doesn¡¯t matter what that force was like in the past.

    "Anything that can bring benefits will be used."

    "Half an hour ago, Wang Tuiguan, who was in charge of your sister-in-law's case, came over and told me that the servants in your sister-in-law's house were found, but all they found were their corpses, all piled in a mass grave outside the city.  Wang Tuiguan sent a number of people to count, and the number was correct. They were all there!

    The land deeds and house deeds have all been sold.

    But not a penny was found.

    ¡°In addition, I have also sent people to search for the three private salt villages you told me about, and basically all the salt households in two villages were killed.

    There was only one exception. Because the steward in the private salt village didn't want to waste the latest batch of private salt, he spared their lives for an extra day, which gave them a chance to survive. Although the relevant evidence was incomplete, it was still quite abundant.  It should be of some use, you should take a look first.  "

    As Qiao Mu spoke, he had already moved the box of accounts and letters that the secret guard had just delivered an hour ago to the table and spread them out.

    Immediately afterwards, it was time for the two of them to look through the account book carefully for less than half a quarter of an hour.

    ¡°In just five years, they made a profit of more than 50 million taels. This number is simply terrifying. No wonder illegal activities are banned in this world.

    "With such huge profits, I am afraid that a well-connected family would rather risk being executed by the nine clans"

    Zhen Shijia sighed with emotion at the side. At this time, the sixth prince's face was pale and his lips trembled slightly:

    "Fifty million taels, the profit from private salt alone exceeds fifty million taels, plus the profits from other places, where has the prince used so much money? What on earth does he want to do?"

    Unlike Zhen Shijia¡¯s first thought, which was just to lament the huge benefits, Tu Minggui¡¯s first thought was, how many people can be won over with so much money.

    How many troops can be equipped?

    How many things can you do?

    You know, last year the treasury allocated only 10 million taels to the Ministry of War, only 8 million taels. I can¡¯t imagine how much money the prince could buy if he used all the money to buy a private army.  Ten thousand private troops came out.

    ¡°You¡¯ve all seen these, right?

    You can think of it, and the Holy One can also think of it. As long as these information are sent up, even if the prince does not fall, he will definitely be feared by the Holy One, and even be cut off by the Holy One himself.

    But we cannot send this information.

    Sega, do you have the ability to send this information to the eldest prince or third prince?

    It is best to send it to the eldest prince. The eldest prince has always been impulsive, andThe relationship with the prince is almost as strong as fire and water. Only when it is given to him can it have the greatest impact, and maybe it can be directly announced to the world.  "

    Although Qiao Mu wanted to send the information directly, she knew very well that she couldn't do this. Ordinary people still wanted to keep their family scandals under wraps, not to mention the royal family. How could they not involve themselves in it?  It's better to get involved yourself. Being a fisherman is more cost-effective than being a snipe and clam.

    "This is easy to handle. I can find a way to send it out tomorrow. But, mother, are you sure those people won't suspect our family? If those people suspect our family, then you and I may be in danger.  They will do whatever it takes to get this evidence back.

    Are you sure there is no problem?  "

    Zhen Shijia assured.

    He asked worriedly.

    " Qiao Mu couldn't help but remain silent. She really wasn't very sure. Although she felt that she was being very cautious, she had never been a spy before, so she really didn't know.

    ¡°I really can¡¯t guarantee this.

    But you don¡¯t have to worry about safety. Unless they bring in troops or artillery, they will never be able to break through the protection of the five hundred secret guards.

    And my poison is not vegetarian.  "

    ¡°That¡¯s all, I can only pray to heaven.

    ¡°Mom, I will send someone to send these evidence away through the secret passage in a moment. Tomorrow you will pretend that you have never heard of the illegal salt incident, and go to the county office as normal to ask Wang Tuiguan about the case.

    Just try to act as normal as possible!

    Can you understand what I mean?  "

    Things were already like this, and it was too late to regret it at this time, so Zhen Shijia could only take a gamble and warned Qiao Mu at the same time.

    ¡°Understood, I just want Officer Wang to continue investigating the case, and we must get our money back.

    However, the officials of the prince's line went too far. They even spared the property of a widow living alone. They really didn't even want to lose their face for money.

    I don¡¯t know what I want to do with that money!

    "Forget it, anyway, as long as the emperor lives long, the prince will not end well. That's all. I still have to decorate the house.

    lest anything unexpected happens.

    Sega, please hurry up and find a way to send this thing away to the eldest prince. This thing is a hot potato now. We must throw it out as soon as possible, otherwise we will burn ourselves.  "

    After saying that, Qiao Mu left Naxiangyuan.

    Go back and tell the secret guards to step up the protection, and send some people to pay attention to the movements in the city.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
