Chapter 254: The Salt Tax

The handwriting in this letter was relatively unfamiliar, at least it was not Ruan Xuchen's spies left in the capital, he turned around and handed the letter to Gu Jinxi, and asked Gu Jinxi if he knew him.

Chen Heng and Gu Jinxi read it together, and they often saw all kinds of notes in the Tianji Pavilion, some of which were intercepted letters, and some were copied notes, in short, Chen Heng and Gu Jinxi's memories were very good, and if they saw this person's notes, they would definitely remember them.

But after reading it, Gu Jinxi also said that he didn't know him.

"This is the handwriting of the first ballad, Chengfu is now Shen Yunyun's personal maid, I arranged for her to stay by Cheng Lisheng's side early in the morning to gain trust, and now Cheng Lisheng and Shen Yunyun are reluctant, so they naturally put a maid who thinks they are foolproof by her side." Ruan Cailing said.

Originally, Cheng Lisheng thought that he was smart enough, but the road was one foot tall and the demon was one foot high, even if they didn't have Cheng Xuan, a white-eyed wolf, they still couldn't escape from Ruan Cailing's palm.

She has pinched the family to death.

Ruan Xuchen said, "So what the letter means is that someone asked Shen Yunyun to find evidence of salt tax to harm our father?" ”

"That's probably what I wrote in my heart." Ruan Cailing looked up at Ruan Xuchen, in the night, Chen Heng, who was standing not far away, could barely see Ruan Cailing's expression, but he felt that the killing intent that erupted from Ruan Cailing's body at that moment made people shudder.

Is this really a woman who doesn't know martial arts?

Chen Heng never felt that a person's eyes could really kill, and Ruan Cailing had always been cold and indifferent, except that there would be a little girl next to Ruan Xuchen and Gu Jinxi.

Other times are calm and composed, and will always give people the feeling that they can't understand the person.

At least that's what Chen Heng thinks.

He also thought that no matter what happened, Ruan Cailing would not panic and would not let others see his thoughts.

Maybe...... Ruan Cailing has always hidden his murderous intentions, but he didn't see it?

Gu Jinxi pinched the letter and walked to Ruan Cailing's side, patted Ruan Cailing's shoulder comfortingly and said, "In this case, let's go back as soon as possible, and go back when the matter here is done, a few of us are in the capital, I don't believe that the person who found Shen Yunyun can do anything to my uncle!" ”

"But who do you think the woman with the black veil will be?" Ruan Cailing asked thoughtfully.

This......

Ruan Xuchen said, "The last time I heard this character from the maid next to Shen Yunyun, the things in our father's study were passive, how did we doubt it at that time?" ”

Time has passed for a long time, Ruan Xuchen has almost forgotten about this matter, and he is about to forget this person.

But Ruan Cailing will always remember that as long as it is a person or thing related to Mu Yichen, she will remember it in her heart.

Ruan Cailing said, "It's Li Chuqing! ”

"That's right! It's the disfigured concubine! After Lin Yicheng died, the rest of the people fled and killed, and there were not a few people left, but only Li Chuqing and her son were well hidden by Mu Yichen, and they have not been found by our people until now. Ruan Xuchen said.

At first, they felt that Li Chuqing was placed in Jiangnan Restaurant by Mu Yichen.

But several waves of people have gone to investigate, not only the people in their Dingguo Mansion, but even some people in the royal family are searching for Lin Yicheng's family remnants.

Many people are interested in Lin Yicheng's concubine who never shows up in his family, but has a high status, Lin Yicheng died, and this daughter and son naturally became the target of public criticism.

Openly and covertly, they are all searching.

But it's been so long, Leng didn't find any clues about Li Chuqing, and everyone thought they had escaped from the capital.

Unexpectedly, at such a time, Li Chuqing appeared again!

And as soon as it comes up, it will be related to the salt tax.

Gu Jinxi said, "It seems that Mu Yichen is not honest in the frontier, but uses Li Chuqing and Xie Qingyuan to be in the light and in the dark, he wants to borrow the matter of salt tax, before the court officials, collect all the officials who are secretly reluctant, and then control them." ”

That's probably the case, yes.

Being relegated to the frontier is a great shame for Mu Yichen, although the emperor said that Mu Yichen will go back after a year and a half in the frontier, but in Mu Yichen's heart, even if he goes back, this matter will be imprinted on his body forever and cannot be washed away.

It seems that Mu Yichen is going to go sideways!

"Originally, Mu Yichen wanted to get the throne openly by competing for the position of the crown prince, but through Lin Yicheng's matter, it can be seen that the emperor only wants Mu Yizuo, and the emperor originally did not plan to let him inherit the throne, so Mu Yichen wants to be the emperor, so he can only force the palace!" Ruan Xuchen said.

In Mu Yichen's heart, it doesn't matter what kind of brother is affectionate, what kind of father-son affection, only status is the most important.

Mu Yichen did this kind of thing to force the palace.

Ruan Cailing suddenly felt a little anxious.

In the previous life, the Dingguo Mansion family had an accident because Mu Yichen successfully sat on the throne, although she did not remarry Xie Qingyuan in this life, so Mu Yichen could not use Xie Qingyuan and Shen Yunyun to slander their family, but as long as Mu Yichen sat on the throne, they would definitely be in danger.

This man is too dangerous.

She had never been so desperate to die alone.

For Xie Qingyuan and Shen Yunyun, she hopes that these two people will die slowly and painfully.

But if Mu Yichen was replaced, he would die one day earlier, so that their family could be safe for one day.

Moreover, this life is different from the previous life.

In the previous life, Gu Jinxi's son was safe, but in this life, the eldest brother and Jinxi's two sons are on the side of the third prince Mu Yizuo, which is a threat to Mu Yichen, as long as Mu Yichen is on the throne, Mu Yizuo and his subordinates will definitely not be kept.

All the three princes who stand will die.

Whatever the reason.

It doesn't matter if Gu Jinxi's father is a prince with a different surname.

People like Mu Yichen are so frustrated that they can't even bear to do it with their own father, how can they care about other people, let alone whether they are alive or dead if they are not related by blood?

It was because she saw through people like Mu Yichen too much that Ruan Cailing felt afraid.

She took a deep breath and grabbed Gu Jinxi's sleeve tightly, trembling slightly, "Jinxi, big brother, we have to speed up the process, and we must forever put an end to the possibility of Mu Yichen becoming the crown prince emperor!" ”

Even Chen Heng understands what's at stake.

Chen Heng shook his fan and walked slowly in the courtyard, and said suspiciously, "It stands to reason that the matter of salt tax is not easy to investigate, and even Dingguo Gong has no ability to say that he can immediately find out all kinds of gloom below, how can Mu Yichen be sure, as long as he gets the inside information, he will definitely be able to catch people?" ”

Several of them are deeply involved, but Chen Heng is the only one who is an outsider, so he sees things very clearly.

Gu Jinxi felt that what Chen Heng said made sense.

Ruan Xuchen took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, "There is only one possibility." ”

Ruan Cailing turned her head to look at him.

"Mu Yichen is involved."

Only this possibility can explain why Mu Yichen wants inside information and a list of personnel.

He may not only find this group of people before Ruan Qi, and then force them to comply, but also because he is also a part of it, so he needs to protect his identity.

In this way, everyone involved in the salt tax is in danger! Mu Yichen may do something to this group of people at any time!

"Within three days, let's settle the matter in Jiangnan, and go back immediately, Wen Rushi and Chen Heng will stay here for the time being, and you and Uncle Long will end the matter in the border city together." Ruan Xuchen immediately got up and said.

Wen Rushi nodded, he was naturally obedient, but Chen Heng frowned, "Why do I want to stay here?" ”

Ruan Cailing said, "Didn't you say before, you want to be bright and bright, and go to the capital with the biggest pomp and circumstance?" Naturally, we have to go back quietly, and besides, if you go with us, your identity will be exposed. ”

"If the world leaves the aftermath, so that the emperor will reward it in the future, on the surface, the two of us are here to play with Ling'er, and the Bai family is just handy, even if the emperor wants to give a reward, it will not be publicized in the court, Wen Rushi is different."

Now Wen Rushi is just missing an emperor's reward in the court.

Although the emperor gave Wen Rushi an unprecedented rank, among the previous new champions, Wen Rushi's rank was the highest one.

However, some people in the court fanned the flames and said that Wen Rushi had never made achievements, and he was a high-ranking white-collar worker, but he had no substantive ability.

This time, even if it is Wen Rushi's proof, he brought people to solve the 'plague' in the border city, and he can also tell the emperor the truth by the way, and the next thing is to find out the real culprit of poisoning!

"Didn't you say that the real murderer is hard to find?" Chen Heng said.

Ruan Cailing nodded, "Yes, they all use the method of writing letters to deliver news, even if I know that Xie Qingyuan ordered the people of the family to poison them, they need evidence!" ”

Chen Heng frowned and said, "Since you all know that there will be no result, why do you want Wen Rushi to mention this matter and then investigate?" ”

This is Ruan Cailing's own little interest, she said, "It's good to make Chengjia and Xie Qingyuan panic, I'm happy!" ”

Chen Heng, Wen Rushi, "......"

Except for Gu Jinxi and Ruan Xuchen, the people present all felt that Ruan Cailing's interest was really bad taste, but Gu Jinxi still thought Ruan Cailing was cute and moving, especially this arrogant appearance.

Not to mention how perfect Ruan Xuchen's sister is.

Chen Heng really didn't want to say that these two big men, one has the appearance of a sister who is full of everything, and the other thinks about being with his fiancΓ©e every day, no matter what Ruan Cailing does, these two people have no reason to support them.

Even if Ruan Cailing killed people indiscriminately in a moment's interest, they would only feel sorry for Ruan Cailing's slender hands and it was not easy to dig holes.

Then help her with the aftermath.

Such a person, Chen Heng is really ...... Why did he agree to Gu Jinxi's entry into the Heavenly Machine Pavilion in the first place?

was ruthless at the beginning, was it really Gu Jinxi in front of him who pulled him into the gang?
