The room where Mo Ning worked was facing the door.

All the people who came in and out of the courtyard couldn't hide from his eyes.

The leaking water dripping kept ticking, and Yan Furong, who was standing on the side, secretly changed his foot to make the center of gravity.

He didn't dare to look at his master's face.

Because Mo Ning's face, with the dripping of the leak, has become darker and darker.

Mo Ning looked outside the house many times, but there was still no one outside.

He looked at the case file on the desk again:

Lin Yan, female, was born in the family of the Xinguo Mansion.

The pseudonym Yan Qi went out of the city, and the purpose is unknown.

Passing through Anqing County, he spent a lot of money and was targeted by thieves, and lost most of the silver taels at the foot of Qingyun Mountain.

When he passed through Yanzhou, he met a sister flower liar and lost the remaining silver taels.

Approaching Cangzhou, he has no money to spare, looking like a beggar, but he spends money lavishly.

On the way, she met two waves of bandits, because she was embarrassed, so no one paid attention to them, and there was no danger, but it seemed that she didn't know that they were bandits.

Mo Ning snorted, and looked at the last two lines:

Because of Lin Yan's disappearance, Lu'an Hou sent a lot of people to look for him.

It seems that there is another force that has released smoke bombs and misled the direction of Lu'anhou.

He frowned, noncommittal.

Lu Anhou tore his face with Xin Guogong because of his sister's matter.

This matter is not a secret in Beijing.

Mo Ning almost didn't have to think about it to know that it was the manpower of Xin Guogong who misled Lu Anhou.

It's just that the two families have some knots, and they need a deep boudoir woman to disguise themselves and walk.

If it weren't for his urgency, it would take some time to find out.

Mo Ning glanced at the moment, it was already three o'clock, and it was getting late.

Suddenly a figure flashed outside the house, and Mo Ning immediately straightened his back.

The guard Li Rui dodged into the room, knelt down on one leg, and said, "Master, the people behind the scenes have fallen!" ”

Mo Ning leaned back in the chair again, and let out a "hmm", which was regarded as an answer.

Li Rui continued: "It's the queen's nephew Zhou Min, he has arrived in Cangzhou at this moment, but where he is hiding, his subordinates can't find out." ”

Mo Ning played with the mutton fat jade ring in his hand and was silent.

In the previous dynasty, salt and iron were allowed to be smuggled, resulting in a situation in which the people were rich and the country was weak.

Emperor Jianyuan summed up the lesson, nationalized salt and iron, and strictly prohibited private sales.

Cangzhou, as the main producer of salt, supplied 70% of the salt of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The salt tax paid to the imperial court every year is as high as 100,000 taels of silver.

This is already a huge tax for the imperial court, which has just ended the war and is depressed.

Originally, there were no loopholes, but a team of people from Mo Ning found someone selling salt and iron and other prohibited items outside Beijing.

He checked along the line, only to find that the amount was huge, and the inside story was amazing.

waited for Emperor Jianyuan to report, Emperor Jianyuan was furious and tried to investigate thoroughly.

He thought that starting from Cangzhou, a salt-producing land, he might be able to intercept and kill from the source.

Who knows that the water in Cangzhou is very deep, and the salt merchants have tasted the sweetness in the past, who is willing to cut the meat from themselves?

After a few rounds, Mo Ning suppressed most of them with thunder methods.

There was still a small group of salt merchants gathered together, and it seemed that he was not the eldest son of the emperor at all.

This is a bit subtle, if they don't have a very strong force behind them, Mo Ning doesn't believe it.

Mo Ning already had a personal choice in his heart, and sure enough, Li Rui found out Zhou Min's whereabouts.

In the Cangzhou case, he seized 1,000 tons of illicit salt and recovered more than 100,000 taels of silver for the imperial court.

According to Emperor Jianyuan's temper, once the Zhou family is involved, it seems that this case can be closed.

Mo Ning felt angry in his heart, so he simply stood up and walked back and forth in the room.

The atmosphere was a little depressing, and Li Rui and Yan Furong didn't dare to speak out.

And Lin Yan didn't know anything about it, although she didn't find Zhu Yuelan, she could be regarded as having done something today.

Whether Ding Canyang wants it or not, Lin Yan's affection, he must owe it.

Sure enough, what my uncle said was right.

Be thick-skinned and shameless, and there will always be something to gain.

Lin Yan was in a very good mood, so when she entered the courtyard, she still had a smile on her face.

When she caught up with King Ning's unhappiness, her smile was a little dazzling.

Mo Ning stood at the door and shouted: "Don't you go out with your brains!" ”

Not to mention that Lin Yan was dumbfounded, even Yan Furong and Li Rui were also a little confused by Mo Ning's sudden anger.

Prince Ning has always been cold, and rarely scolds and gets angry loudly.

Even when he heard Zhou Min's name just now, he was indifferent.

Lin Yan's scalp was a little tight, how could King Ning be a little different from the legend.

She hesitated and asked, "Lord Wang, it's me who scolds?" ”

Mo Ning regained his indifferent expression and spit out lightly: "Come in." ”

Lin Yan was even more sure that King Ning was a little perverted.

Yesterday, he coldly said that he was Mo Ning, as if he was afraid that others would not know him.

The speed at which the face changes today... Lin Yan thought about it carefully, and no one in the people she knew had this ability.

When Mo Ning saw that she had come in, her expression seemed to be out of shape, and she didn't know what to think again, so her face became even darker.

Yan Furong shouted boldly: "Bold! Seeing that King Ning still didn't kneel! ”

After speaking, he glanced at Mo Ning, but fortunately, the prince was still indifferent.

Lin Yan came back to her senses at this time, oops!

I almost forgot that the other party was the prince.

She was about to curtsy, when she suddenly remembered that she was dressed as a man.

Hurriedly learning the appearance of a folk man, he snorted at King Ning, and shouted in his mouth: "Ask King Ning for forgiveness!" ”

Mo Ning didn't know what to do with her for a while.

Where did you learn this, like a lower riba, not at all...... Graceful.

"Excuse me." Mo Ning glanced at Lin Yan on the ground, and suddenly lost his temper.

"I never raise people who eat white food here, don't wander around in the future. If you're in a hurry, I have a mission for you here. ”

Lin Yan's eyes widened, unable to believe her ears.

I just came to ask for a care, when did you say that you wanted to be his subordinate?

Who doesn't know that King Ning has been running errands day and night, and being his subordinate seems to be very hard.

The six-month period is not short, but it is not long.

She has been wasting more than a month on the road, and it is estimated that it will be a month when she returns.

At the moment, there is no clue about Zhu Yuelan, and I don't know if I want to find Ma Yue in the Year of the Monkey.

If King Ning is really a pervert, the task assigned to him is very unacceptable.

She, Lin Yan, really confessed in Cangzhou.

How can she have the time and ability to do things for King Ning?

Seeing Lin Yan's reluctant expression, Mo Ning was in an inexplicably good mood.

Although he didn't know what Lin Yan was doing in Cangzhou, he still heard about Xinguo Gong driving his son-in-law out of the house.

If the estimate is good, Lin Yan must be looking for witnesses to prove her innocence for the sake of her unsuccessful father.

Mo Ning squinted his eyes and thought for a long time.

In the past few days, most of the officials in Cangzhou have been dismissed by him, and it is time to find a new person to handle official business instead.

Most of them were promoted directly from local officials in Cangzhou, and a small number were recruited by him from Beijing.

The background of these people has been checked by him.

One of them, Shan Xiaojing, seems to be entrusted with the relationship between Lin Letong, the eldest son of the Duke of Xinguo.

Mo Ning's heart moved, and he said: "You and Shan Xiaojing are going to secretly visit the Chamber of Commerce in Cangzhou City." ”

Lin Yan didn't understand, and wanted to ask a few more questions, but Mo Ning had already turned around and entered the inner room.

This is to rest, Yan Furong hurriedly followed two steps and entered the house to wait.

Lin Yan was left in place, a little indignant.

Sure enough, King Ning is a pervert, saying that half of it will be left and half will be left.

She is not under her grandfather's work all the year round, where can she understand what King Ning means.

What is the secret visit? What kind of chamber of commerce is it? Where is the address? I don't know.

Li Rui on the side was a little sympathetic to Lin Yan, he had also honed it in this way at the beginning.

He was about to open his mouth to explain, Yan Furong walked out of the room, looked at the two of them, and said, "Guard Li, the prince has something to say to you." ”

Now Lin Yan is really being dried.
