"How do you say this?" Wang Yuanyang frowned, not knowing what he meant.

"The matter of selling illegal salt involves too many officials in the court. If all the personnel and evidence are handed over to His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely be dissatisfied. After all, the levels involved are too wide. If His Majesty is informed, they will not be guilty. But it’s my sin.”

The tongue twister made Yao Shu immediately understand what he meant.

After all, if you want to maintain the balance of power, the current officials' powers need to resist each other, and the ministers headed by the prime minister and the ministers headed by the Minister of Rites are polar opposites.

They resist and restrict each other, which can lead to the stability of the regime.

If we tell your Majesty now that many ministers headed by the Minister of Rites are all related to selling illegal salt, it means telling your Majesty that they all need to be dismissed from office.

In order to get rid of such a situation, His Majesty will definitely take action to prevent them from continuing to investigate thoroughly. As a result, this case of illegal salt trafficking will reach a deadlock.

Therefore, they must find a key piece of evidence that will allow His Majesty to remove the other party from his official position without any embarrassment.

This person currently has no better goals, so Yang Tingcai has not replied.

He originally thought that if he continued to investigate this matter, he would definitely get the answer he wanted, but unexpectedly, Yao Shu suddenly appeared.

At first, he only thought that Yao Shu was colluding with the ministers, but when he paid attention and asked his informants to investigate Yao Shu, he discovered that she also had the same purpose as him.

The reason for refusing directly just now was to protect her safety.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clasp his fists in salute and nodded with admiration.

"I didn't expect that you two are really heroes among women, and you have never been timid in the face of such danger. I, Yang, apologize for my rude words just now. I hope Mrs. Shen doesn't mind."

Yao Shu didn't expect that he would suddenly mention what happened just now, and couldn't help but blush slightly: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about it so much. Since we are in the same boat now, naturally we won't care so much. But there is one thing. We need big brother’s help, we want to go to the dock where Mr. Li smuggles himself into Guanyan.”

I thought Yang Ting would agree directly, but he turned out to be embarrassed.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head slightly: "This matter is inappropriate."

Uncle Yao and Wang Yuanyang looked at each other, wondering why she suddenly became so serious.

"What you don't know is not as simple as you think. The pier is guarded by officials, and anyone entering or leaving will be checked by specialized personnel."

"There is an official handler at the dock, so how can he be allowed to smuggle official salt?" Wang Yuanyang slapped the table angrily, his face full of anger.

She has always fought against injustice, so she became indignant when she heard about this incident.

However, her anger did not change Yang Ting's perspective. Yang Ting slowly picked up the tea cup and poured herself a glass of water.

As if remembering a very scary scene, his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

"If someone makes trouble on the dock, those officials will directly kill these people. Their terror and cruelty are beyond your imagination. I can allow you to continue investigating the sale of illegal salt, but you must not go to the dock. If If something happens during your investigation, someone will protect you. But if something happens at the dock, no one will dare to save you."

"How dare these people have so much power and dare to abuse lynching?" Yao Shu couldn't help but frown, her eyes full of doubts.

Although I knew the people behind this were powerful, I didn't expect them to be so powerful.

"Yes, the cruelty of this group of people is such that anyone who hears it will be angry. But we don't know yet whether His Majesty knows about it. If even His Majesty is unwilling to take action, it means that these people are indeed powerful. "After Yang Ting finished speaking, he sighed again.

Then he looked at the sunlight outside the window, said softly that the time was up, and left in a hurry.

Wang Yuanyang still wanted to chase, but was stopped by Yao Shu directly: "Mrs. Wang, please don't be so anxious. You just heard what Detective Yang said. The other party is not easy to mess with. I wish we could catch up so rashly, it's very possible It will implicate Detective Yang. Why not discuss it carefully and decide how to deal with it in the future."

But at this moment, everyone has no idea at all.

Just when everyone was at a loss, things suddenly took a turn for the better.

When Fang went out to buy goods at the market, he was teased by a gangster. After the customs declaration, the officials arrested the gangster.

What a coincidence, this gangster is Mr. Li's subordinate.

When Mr. Li's groom went to bail the gangster, he happened to be seen by Yao Shu and Shen Bei.

Shen Bei didn't know who the man was, but he only knew that he had offended his wife. He was furious and was about to teach her a lesson, but was stopped by Yao Shu.

"Mom, how long has this been? You still have to take care of your face. Your daughter-in-law has been teased like this..." Shen Bei didn't know why Yao Shu stopped him. He suddenly became angry and couldn't help but retort loudly to her. .

Before she finished speaking, she was directly interrupted by Yao Shu. Instead of angrily scolding Shen Bei, she gently stretched out her hand and put it to her mouth, making a silencing gesture.

This appearance made Shen Bei's arrogance disappear immediately, and he felt in a daze that Yao Shu regarded him as a child.

"They dare to molest my daughter-in-law, and they will naturally be taught a lesson in the future, but now my mother has discovered something more important. Don't worry, my mother will definitely help you seek justice." Yao Shu said and immediately stepped forward.

The groom recognized Yao Shu just by looking at him: "Why are you everywhere?"

"You have teased our Shen family's daughter-in-law with your second-rate looks. Is it still unusual for me to come?" Yao Shu snorted coldly and turned to look at the county magistrate on the side.

"Your Excellency, the County Magistrate, such a bad thing happened under the emperor's feet. If word spreads, it will definitely make everyone think that there is a problem with the security of the capital. Doesn't the County Magistrate intend to give an explanation?" Yao Shu faced the official. He has always been a generous person, but he has never been so aggressive as he is now.

Shen Bei and Fang beside him couldn't help but look at each other, wondering what medicine was being sold in the gourd.

Fang Fang only thought that Yao Shu was trying to seek justice for himself. As soon as his face turned red, he immediately committed suicide and said to Shen Bei: "Don't let mother talk about these things anymore. If the county magistrate is angry and takes out his anger on mother, wouldn't it mean that she should be punished?" Mother, have you been wronged in vain?”

Shen Bei stopped her shoulder: "Don't worry, mother will naturally know what's going on."
