The sky gradually darkened, and the group stayed in a small town at the junction of Yuzhou and Rongyang.

The town is not big, but it is the only way to the south of the Yangtze River, where the inn is relatively simple, but there are many guests.

Ye Zheng paid a lot of money to charter the entire inn and ordered the best food here, but Wen Zhen was disgusted with greasy, refused to eat it, and went back to the room in a huff.

Mu Bangshang knew that this was her daughter's family playing petty again, wanting to attract the attention of King Yu.

Xuanyuan saw Mu Wansheng's pair of flowing waves~ Her eyes lingered on Wen Zhen's back, how could she not calculate her little thoughts.

There was a lot of inconvenience in bringing her cousin Wen Zhen on the trip to Jiangnan, but it hindered the face of her grandfather Weng and did not drive her back to the capital.

Since ancient times, only women and villains are difficult to raise, no wonder women and villains should be compared, in order to let Wen Zhen live in peace along the way, and in order to make the Wen family feel at ease, it may not be a good thing for Mu Bangshang to come forward to solve the problem.

Now it is the most important thing to find out the collusion between officials and businessmen in Jiangnan and find out all the evidence of corruption in the court, and other things will be put aside for the time being.

glanced at Mu Bangshang coldly, and said in a hurry: "Don't meddle in your business, just do your part." ”

Xuanyuan Gangji left with cold words, Li Ge followed behind Xuanyuan Gangji, and she couldn't help with the account book, but just told Mu Wanshang not to be strong, and his body was important.

Mu Bangshang lives in the No. 1 room on the second floor, which is very simple, with only a bed and a table. The bed was not spacious, it could only accommodate one person, so Yan Jiu lived in the room next to Mu Bangshang.

Mu Bangshang was looking through the account books, the tooth shop in the south of the Yangtze River was unusually prosperous, medicine, livestock, antiques and jade, and even slave trading also had to go through the tooth shop, and the tooth shop earned intermediary fees from it, and there were many places where you could do your hands and feet.

Jiangnan's finances are also mainly concentrated in five relatively large families, led by the Bai family, followed by the Murong family, the Shen family, the Meng family, and the Jiang family. Each family has its own monopoly on the family property.

Most of the alliance leaders of the Merchants Association will be elected among these five families, and the current alliance leader is Bai Shengxin, the head of the Bai family, Mu Bangshang is very curious about how King Yu sat in the position of the alliance leader?

Even if King Yu has the identity of the leader of the Chamber of Commerce, if he wants to check the account books in a short period of time, if there is no account book flowing out of the prince's mansion as an introduction, it is simply an impossible task.

Even sifting through a large number of account books requires huge human and financial resources.

There was a faint sound of opening the door at the door, Yan Jiu walked in with a package in his hand, saw that the table was full of account books, and put the package on the couch.

"Miss Mu, this is a snack for the girl, if the girl is hungry at night, deal with it for the time being. Yan Jiu lives next door, so if there is anything to do, just ask. ”

Seeing the snacks in the package, Mu Bangshang remembered Wen Zhen, she didn't eat anything at night.

I was stunned by the fragrance but it was a blessing in disguise, I didn't know the marriage contract between King Yu and the Wen family, and I always thought it was the wishful thinking of Miss Wen, but now I think about it, but I have occupied the identity of others.

Since the two have a marriage contract, she is just an outsider, and if the conflict between the two is resolved as soon as possible, her life will be easier.

I'm afraid it's not good to rush forward, thinking about this, "Sister Yan, I'm not hungry, I'd better go upstairs and give it to Miss Biao, she didn't eat at night." ”

Yan Jiu has always been at odds with Wen Zhen, and Wen Zhen is not easy to give to each other, and Jin Er no longer treats Wen Zhen as a slave.

"I sent it, but I threw it out. It's just for the prince to see how long she can last. ”

This reminded Yan Jiu, "Otherwise, I'll be here with you, and your soft-hearted promise is not allowed to run out in the middle of the night to deliver something to her." ”

Mu Bangsheng smiled at the corner of her lips, since she was broken by humanity, it was better to go openly, so as not to dislike her again if Yan Jiu misunderstood.

"Sister Yan doesn't want to share her worries for the prince? The young lady is so troubled, and it is the prince who is worried. I have a way, as long as Sister Yan turns a blind eye, I make sure she doesn't lose her temper along the way. ”

The night was quiet, Mu Bangshang held a package in one hand and a lantern in the other, went up the stairs on the second floor, and saw from a distance that the light in the Tianzi room on the second floor was still on, which was King Yu's room. The lights in the room have been turned off, so I should be sleeping.

Mu Wanshang tiptoed towards Wen Zhen's room, the candle in the room was still on, and Wen Zhen naturally didn't dare to sleep when she was alone.

In the room, Wen Zhen curled up on the couch, the bright and extinguished candle flame was glowing with a dim light, the fire had long been extinguished, it was cold, the room was dilapidated and breathable, what the hell was the place.

Jin'er was not around, she couldn't sleep, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became. I was resentful in my heart, my cousin didn't live in the palace, and he took people to this kind of place to suffer.

"Knock knock! The extremely light knock on the door frightened Wen Zhen to curl up on the couch, covering his head with a quilt and not daring to answer.

"Miss Cousin, it's me Mu Bangshang."

Wen Zhen, who was originally full of fear in his heart, heard the sound of Mu Bang outside the door, and all the resentment and dissatisfaction in his heart poured out, jumped up from the couch, and picked up the drill on the table with the lamp.

In the middle of the night, she sent it to the door herself, scratched her face to see how she seduced her cousin, and went straight to the door.

When I opened the door, there was no one in sight, "Come out for me." ”

Mu Bangshang is not a fool~ melon, maybe she will make a move, and see the sharp thorn in her hand by the candlelight.

"If you hurt me, the prince won't be able to explain anywhere, put down the things in your hands first, and let's talk about it."

"You're just a dancing girl, so there's nothing to talk to you about."

Wen Zhen has always looked down on her background, but she didn't know that she was once a descendant of the five great ministers.

"I already have a sweetheart, not the prince, we are not enemies."

Mu Bangshang's words confused Wen Zhen, but Mu Bangshang made a sudden move, and he couldn't hide his ears quickly. Knock down the sharp weapon in her hand directly.

Push her through the door and close the door. ”

Wen Zhen was almost pushed down by her, but she didn't expect Mu Wansheng to see that Wen Wen's weak strength was quite large, which was also thanks to King Yu punishing her to grind.

Mu Bangshang didn't bother to talk to her, and directly showed her hole cards, "Don't move yet, my sweetheart is a pig." I also learned about your marriage contract with the prince from today, and I will never interfere in the affairs of your husband and wife. ”

Moon Jin looked at her in amazement, when she was fooling around with the son of Silla.

"Aren't you sent by the prince?"

"But it's like this, I have Gu poison in my body, and it was His Highness who helped detoxify it, and even sacrificed himself to save it. It's just a play with the prince. ”

Wen Zhen looked at her hesitantly, "No, you weren't like this when you were in the palace, what tricks do you want to play?" Don't think I'm going to believe you, you're meticulous! ”

Seeing that Wen Zhen didn't believe her words, Mu Bangshang was also a little anxious, "I said that it was because I heard the conversation between Miss Biao and the prince in the carriage today, and I only knew about the marriage contract." At the beginning, I treated Miss Cousin like that, but it was all because Miss Cousin was arrogant and beat my sister. ”

The sudden change in the situation made Wen Zhen very confused, whether he should listen to the words of the woman in front of him.

"Dress! Can I come in? Li Ge's warm voice came from the door, and he had been listening to it outside the door for a long time.

Mu Wanshang's eyes were happy, he came at the right time, and opened the door of the room, "Ge, come in." ”

Li Ge pushed the door in, his face was bright and gentle, and he opened his mouth to explain for Mu Wanshang, "Every word she said is true. ”

Wen Zhen saw the veins and affection that couldn't be hidden between the eyebrows and eyes of the two people, why didn't he see it earlier, could it be that he used his mind on his cousin.

"You're really a couple."

"Of course. So seeing that Miss Biao was angry and didn't eat, it was really a bit stupid. ”

"You dare to call me stupid!"

Mu Bangshang just stated the facts, and handed over the package in his hand, "Now that we know the facts, this is a pastry, Miss Biao must be hungry without dinner." ”

Li Ge knew that Wen Zhending was suspicious, so he took a silver needle and interviewed on each cake, and took a piece and put it in his mouth.

"It's not poisonous."

Wen Zhen looked at the two suspiciously, but took the package in her hand but didn't eat it.

"Then why are you with your cousin every day, riding in a carriage."

"You have also seen it during the day, I have the ability to never forget and help the prince deal with some official business. Helping the prince is equivalent to helping the king return to Silla as soon as possible! ”

After some words, Wen Zhen finally believed that the two had a personal relationship.

Mu Bangshang and Li Ge left Wen Zhen's room and walked towards the staircase with a lantern.

The two of them hadn't been able to talk properly for some time, so they sat down on the stairs of the inn.

Blowing out the lantern, Mu Bangshang leaned on Li Ge, looked at the vast dark night around him, and complained a little, "Since you know the marriage contract between the prince and the Wen family, why don't you tell me, and I will return this named princess to her earlier." ”

"Ge has always thought this is a very common thing."

Mu Bangshang knew in her heart that Li Ge was a man after all, and the man had three wives and four concubines, but it was ordinary. What's more, they are all princes.

The most longing is to meet a man like his father, who only loves his mother in his life, and is also a prince, when he thinks of grabbing a man with 3,000 women, he doesn't feel sad, women are also selfish, she doesn't blame Wen Zhen for treating her like that.

"What are you thinking? The palms of your hands are so cold? ”

"Nothing?"

Li Ge seemed to see her thoughts, "Ge is not an abusive man, my father is also an infatuated man, otherwise I wouldn't have married my mother, if my father only had a wife after his mother, maybe there would be no dispute between concubines and concubines." They are not far from their homeland. Accustomed to seeing the harem women fighting, he only wants to have a white head in the twilight. ”

Mu Bangshang raised her eyes to stare at those warm eyes, and she couldn't see the outline clearly in the dark night, but she could still feel the clarity in her eyes like spring water.

"You're telling the truth."

"Of course it's true, I can swear that Li Ge is ......."

Mu Wanshang hurriedly covered her lips~ petal, "I believe you." ”

Xuanyuan was standing in the distance, the dark night piercing the night sky, watching the backs of the two snuggle.

I can't get rid of him for the time being, "Li Ge!" When this king finishes cleaning up the prince, it will be your turn next. ”
