Mu Jingyun's body twisted, and he said with grievances: "Auntie, come and listen, I don't know what I did wrong." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Aunt Yan glared at her with disgust and said: "You slander your sister in front of outsiders like this, are you stupid for everyone, people will know that your sisters are not in harmony when they hear it, and people say that there are no people behind them, and what man would like you to make a position with such fanfare."

"It's a bad idea to hurt the enemy by a thousand and damage to eight hundred, is what my mother said right", Aunt Yan and Mu Jingyun always like to call themselves mothers when they are together, and there is no one in charge of the left and right Fangxi Courtyard, so she has no scruples.

Mu Jingyun looked at Aunt Yan with red and swollen eyes, "What Aunt said makes sense, but I just can't get used to Mu Zhiyue's appearance of taking everything for granted, as if she is the only delicate one in this world."

"Silly girl, didn't my mother say that I would leave this matter to me, why do you want to rush to the front by yourself, you just need to be obediently your third miss of the Mu family, and your aunt will take care of other things for you", Aunt Yan said conclusively.

Mu Jingyun didn't know what Aunt Yan was planning, and she didn't want to know, so she enjoyed her aunt's dedication to herself.

It was afternoon, the three princes and the Mu family chatted happily, and the old lady Mu left the three princes to have dinner in the Mu Mansion, and the three princes happily agreed.

Sleepy in the middle of summer, Old Lady Mu arranged a few guest rooms for the third prince and others to rest, and then led several sons and grandsons back to the study in Ciyan Hall.

After closing the door, Old Lady Mu sat on the head, and the rest of the people stood on both sides.

Second Master Mu was the most unbearable person, and took the lead in speaking: "Father, do you think that the third prince's trip is really as simple as wishing his birthday?" ”。

Mu Siye said: "I heard some news, the third prince's trip may be to investigate the case of selling smuggled salt in the Huaibei Salt Farm, it is said that this case implicates many important ministers in the court, so the third prince came to Fengyang in the name of wishing his birthday."

"It's not been a few years since the Lianghuai Salt Farm was selling smuggled salt, and the imperial court has been rectifying it and still repeatedly prohibiting it, and the interests of Jiangnan officials are intertwined, even if the three princes come, it will be useless. Even if it is caught, it is only a small fish and shrimp, and it is difficult to move its foundation, doesn't the saint know this", Mu Erye analyzed.

Mu Siye shook his head: "This is just the news I heard, whether it is true or false remains to be verified." If the three princes really come for this matter, then there will definitely be some turmoil in the officialdom of the two Huai, which is both a crisis and an opportunity."

The Southern Jin Dynasty paid heavy taxes, and most of the treasury revenue came from taxes, and the taxes of the salt industry could account for 30% of the total tax revenue.

The huge profits of the salt works also attracted many people who took risks, and the salt works were often disturbed by various forces, such as salt thieves who sold smuggled salt, Japanese robbers who attacked from the sea, and unrest within the salt works, all of which threatened the stability of the salt works.

Bribing officials and giving and receiving privately is already the norm in the two Huai salt farms, and since they dare to do such a big thing, half of Thailand is very closely related to the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Now that it is said that it is going to be rectified, where can it be solved by such a simple person, even if it is a prince.

This matter sounds logical, but it can't stand up to scrutiny, and the third prince went into the tiger's den alone.

The emperor is in good health, and the position of the crown prince has been vacant, such a bright and unpopular thing, the third prince is not a fool, how can he take it, so this matter is probably just an excuse.

But what is the real purpose of his trip?

Second Master Mu and Fourth Master were completely lost in thought, and Fifth Master Mu stood aside and never made a sound.

He didn't have an official position, and he didn't know much about the affairs of the court, so he didn't dare to say much, but he knew in his heart that since the third prince came under this name, he was bound to do something, even if he only pretended, he would not be without action.

The melon field is not accepted, and Li Xia is not crowned.

Since this is the case, it is necessary to tell the people below to stay away from this mess, and the business and people involved in private salt and official salt cannot be touched for the time being.

This is also the reason why he has to ask his father and brother for advice every time there is a big move in the DPRK, and sometimes even a small disturbance above is a storm for the business community, so he must also keep abreast of the trend of the DPRK and China.

The other grandchildren of the Mu family were still young, and Mu Chenqian, the only one with a meritorious reputation, was still on the third prince's side and did not come over, so they only listened and studied secretly, and they did not dare to interject indiscriminately.

Old lady Mu sat there and listened to the discussion of the two sons, but squinted his eyes and didn't speak, the third prince's trip is really strange, if he really wants to check the private salt, according to the third prince's wise and self-protective temperament, he will definitely shout out with great fanfare, and give a warning to those officials who have an affair with this matter.

However, in the name of celebrating his birthday, the third prince vaguely revealed the private salt case, which was clearly repairing the plank road in the Ming Dynasty, so is it possible that the Chen Cang he is really hiding is Zhou Heng.

It's just that this matter is very secret, and he also made a temporary decision, how could the third prince know.

And what he is most concerned about is whether the third prince already knows that this matter has something to do with him.

After thinking about it again, if the third prince knew about it, he would no longer hide it, and he would definitely take this opportunity to get rid of that person in one fell swoop, how could he tolerate him to continue to be free outside.

The biggest possibility of this matter is that the third prince only found some clues, so he found an excuse to go out of Beijing to investigate, but so far no useful clues have been found.

Since this is the case, it is necessary to be cautious and cautious, and to find a way to divert the attention of the third prince, so that he cannot focus more on this matter.

After thinking about it, Old Lady Mu looked at the sons who were still pondering and said, "Don't think too much, whether the third prince is here to check the illegal salt, let's avoid this matter, and send a letter to the capital, so that your eldest brother can pay more attention." Even if we don't get involved, we must prevent any related relationships from coming to dredge up, and we must not cause trouble for ourselves."

Everyone in the house said yes, got up and was about to leave, but Mu Chenqian didn't use the little guy to push the door in directly.

He arranged the three princes, Xia Yi, and Fang Ziyu and hurried to his grandfather's study, but fortunately, the elders did not leave.

Mu Chenqian personally closed the door of the study, walked straight to Old Lady Mu and knelt on his knees, and said, "Grandfather, great joy."

Everyone was stunned, and Mu Chenxuan couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, what's the happy thing?"

Mu Chenqian didn't wait for Old Lady Mu to ask, and said directly: "There is hope that the fourth brother's illness will be cured."

No one expected Mu Chenqian to say such a sentence, Old Lady Mu originally saw that everyone was leaving, picked up the teacup on the table and wanted to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat, but before he could drink it, he heard Mu Chenqian's words, and the tea in his hand spilled on the placket.

Old Lady Mu couldn't care about these things at this time, she stood up excitedly, leaned forward, and said in a trembling voice, "What did you say?" You say it again".

As soon as the words fell, there was a flower in front of him, and it turned out that Mu Wuye, who had already walked to the door, rushed back.

Mu Wuye blocked in front of Mu Chenqian in a few steps, pulled up Mu Chenqian, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked anxiously: "What Brother Qian said is true, who is it?" ”。

Mu Chenqian gently withdrew his wrist, which was pinched by Mu Wuye, and stared at Old Lady Mu and Mu Wuye with blazing eyes, and said word by word: "It was a imperial doctor brought by the third prince, and he said that his master could cure Brother Qi'er's illness."
