He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

The salt policy in Liangjiang is the worst of the worst.

Shen Wan still remembered that year, just two months after she fell into the water and mistakenly thought that Xie Jingyin saved her, the old lady's natal nephew was promoted to Liangjiang Salt Administration.

After Xie Jingyin came to the throne in his previous life, he intended to transfer the old lady's nephew back to the capital. He declined for the first two years. Later, when the young master and the girl of the Wang family reached the age of getting married, they returned to the capital and worked as ministers in the Ministry of Household Affairs for only half a year. , when the Minister of the Ministry of Finance committed a crime and the position was vacated, he was naturally promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and he became famous for a while.

Shen Wan knew that Wang Yu was Xie Jingyin's man, but why did something happen suddenly?

Shen Wan asked curiously, "What happened to the Liangjiang Salt Administration?"

The secret guard glanced at Xie Jingyan before replying, "The imperial court distributes countless salt quotas every year. The Liangjiang Salt Administration misuses its authority and colludes with officials and businessmen to misappropriate all the salt quotas from the next year and the next and make huge profits from them."

Salt tax is an important source of the national treasury. If the emperor misappropriates salt for personal gain, he will not be lenient and will definitely be executed.

But nothing happened in the previous life, how could it be exposed in this life?

Shen Wan asked, "Who found out?"

Shen Wan asked about the secret guard.

But the secret guard couldn't answer this question, so he had to look at Xie Jingyan.

Shen Wan's eyes also followed the secret guard and fell on Xie Jingyan's face. Xie Jingyan said, "Your eldest cousin found out."

Shen Wan, "...???"

Did your eldest cousin find out?

How is this possible?

Shen Wan looked in disbelief, and Xie Jingyan said, "The Yun family is also in the salt tea business. Before your eldest cousin went to Meizhou, the account books of various states and counties were sent to Beijing. Your eldest cousin did an accounting and found the profits of the salt tea business in Liangjiang. It has dropped a lot. At the same price, the quantity of salt purchased this year has decreased by 20% compared with previous years, which has increased the cost. However, the price of salt in other stores has dropped. As a result, the Yun family's salt cannot be sold and they have to be forced to sell it. Follow the price reduction.”

Young Master Yun asked the steward of Liangjiang Shop to find out the reason, and then told Xie Jingyan about it. Xie Jingyan knew that Wang Yu was Shen Jing's cousin, and even asked Shen Jing for this matter.

If the person is recommended by Shen Jing, he will personally impeach him and convict him in the future, so that Shen Jing will not be implicated.

However, Wang Yu's appointment as Liangjiang salt administration had nothing to do with Shen Jing, so Xie Jingyan was not polite. In order not to alert the enemy, Xie Jingyan did not report it to the emperor. Instead, he approached the third master of the Tanguo Palace who was appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and asked the Ministry of Personnel to go to Liangjiang to arrange the transfer. , arrange for a trustworthy person to help him investigate the salt case.

It was also a coincidence that at that time, an official in Liangjiang died of a serious illness. There was a vacant position and an official needed to be transferred. Master Tang San sent the cousin of his wife's maiden sister-in-law. The relationship was a bit distant, but at least we were related. Therefore, it did not arouse any suspicion.

Unexpectedly, not long after being dispatched, conclusive evidence was obtained, and his ability to do things was beyond Xie Jingyan's expectations.

The people who were sent found the conclusive evidence and immediately sent their confidants to Beijing and handed it over to Master Tang San in person. After attending the palace banquet, Master Tang San returned to the Duke of Tan's Mansion. After receiving the evidence, he read it briefly and was sure that it could kill Liang Jiang. Yanzheng went to the palace to see the emperor with the evidence.

As for how angry the emperor would be when he saw the evidence, you can imagine it on your knees.

Xie Jingyan went to the study room, and Shen Wan continued to play with the parrots. Xie Jingyan agreed to Shen Wan's intention to continue raising parrots, but made a request that the parrots were not allowed to enter the house.

The man who made this request was gnashing his teeth. Originally, the parrot stayed well under the eaves, with iron chains tied to its feet, and would not enter the house at all. But now, he had to make a request to do it, because Shen Wan felt that Parrots can't run away, so they don't need to be tied up with chains...

Shen Wan played with the parrot with feathers for a while. When she felt sleepy, she washed her hands and went to bed.

Just as he lay down, Dong'er came in from outside and said, "Princess, the emperor has summoned the prince to come into the palace."

No need to ask, this summons must be because of Shiohiki.

Shen Wan sat up and said, "You didn't say I was going too, right?"

Dong'er shook his head, "I didn't say..."

Just don't say it.

She just came back from the palace, but she didn't have the energy to make another trip.

Shen Wan yawned and lay back, turned over, faced inward, and quickly fell asleep.

She slept for a full hour before waking up. When she woke up, Yinshuang told her, "The prince sent people to investigate the salt case and made great achievements. The emperor rewarded the prince with a jade belt and the young master Dabiao." A piece of jade pendant, the young master is not in Kyoto, so the father-in-law Xiao Xizi sent it to the Yun family. "

Yin Shuang smiled broadly. Although the prince does not lack belts and the young master does not lack jade pendants, there is a big difference between what can be bought and what the emperor rewards. The prince is okay, he has many things from the emperor, but the young master does not. Wearing the jade pendant given by the emperor, no one dares to neglect anything when going out.

Seeing Yin Shuang smiling so hard that she couldn't even see her teeth, Shen Wan couldn't smile, and her head even hurt slightly.

For such great achievements, I will be given a jade belt...

It's not that Shen Wan dislikes the small reward. After all, Xie Jingyan just knocked the emperor's two big boxes of good things today. But once this belt is rewarded, all civil and military officials in the court will know about Xie Jingyan's meritorious service. How much will it bring to her and the Yun family? Trouble, the old lady will be furious if she knows that Xie Jingyan sent people to investigate her nephew, and then find trouble with her.

Forget about causing trouble for her. After all, she is Princess Ling and cannot be manipulated by the old lady at will. In addition, she is pregnant. If she doesn't want to talk to the old lady, the old lady will never even think of seeing her until the child is one month old. Shen Wan was afraid that the old lady would cause trouble for the Yun family and take her anger out on the Yun family.

Xie Jingyan and the Yun family made contributions to the court, but the emperor pushed them to the forefront with a little reward.

Shen Wan suspected that the emperor did it on purpose.

The eldest prince and Xie Jingyin were having a fierce fight. The emperor wanted to let Xie Jingyin know that it was Xie Jingyan who was trying to dismantle him. This would allow Xie Jingyin to free up his hands to target Xie Jingyan and help the eldest prince take a breather. Or should Xie Jingyan stand in the court. , also participated in the battle for the crown prince?

Intuition told Shen Wan that the latter was more likely.

But neither the eldest prince nor Xie Jingyin considered Xie Jingyan as a rival. Xie Jingyan's biological mother was a criminal concubine, and she didn't even know what crime she had committed. Could he directly participate in the fight for the legitimate heir?

Here Shen Wan is thinking about this, and over there in Pingyang Hou Mansion, the old lady is eating bird's nest soup. As she eats, her eyelids suddenly jump up.

She was feeling uneasy when a maid ran in and said anxiously, "Old madam, it's not good! Something happened to Mr. Ren Liangjiang Salt Administration's cousin!"

The old lady was putting down the bird's nest soup. When she heard this, she dropped the bird's nest bowl and hit it on the small table, which scared the maids and women in the room.

The old lady's heart was trembling as she asked, "What happened to my cousin?!"

The maid hurriedly replied, "My cousin has been accused of colluding with officials and businessmen to seek personal gain. The evidence is conclusive. The emperor has sent people to leave Beijing to arrest my cousin."

The old lady's face changed drastically, and she suddenly stood up. However, because she stood up too violently, she couldn't stand firmly and fell back down.

The old lady asked, "Who impeached?!"

The maid said, "It is said that Young Master Yun found out that Mr. Biao was colluding with officials and businessmen, and told Prince Ling about it. King Ling asked the third master of the Duke of Tan to use the opportunity of the official transfer to install his confidants to investigate the case..."

Master Yun? !

King Ling? !

The old lady's throat felt like blood.

His face was ashen, and his eyes were so cold that they were almost cannibalistic.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Send someone to invite Princess Ling!"

Mother Sun said, "It's getting late today, and Princess Ling is pregnant again. She will definitely not come back..."

This is the truth, but when the old lady is angry, these words will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire.

The old lady said coldly, "Let Madam Prince send someone to invite you!"
