Ye Wange listened and replied, "Okay."

Qin Hua heard Ye Wange say she wanted to eat pastries, so she left the study and put away the memorials and went to the kitchen.

Ye Wange stood there, listening to the footsteps getting farther and farther away, and looked sideways as Qin Hua's back disappeared from the door of the study room and the outer room. She put down the book in her hand and walked to the bookshelf.

Ye Wange searched for the tomb map that Han Yue was thinking about. I don’t know if it was Ye Wange’s true feelings that moved God or Ye Wange’s skillfulness, so he picked up a book casually. The last time the tomb map of the tomb that Scutellaria was sandwiched in the book was found by Ye Wange.

Ye Wange was ecstatic with the tomb map, and looked carefully with the tomb map, engraved the picture in her mind.

Ye Wange looked at the tomb map until she could completely restore the tomb map in her mind that she folded the picture and stuffed it back into the book and put it back in the original place.

Ye Wange sat there calmly eating pastries waiting for Nangong Ao, but her face was unremitting, but her heart was magnificent. Thinking of Qin Hua's thoughtful expression as he had just cleaned up the memorial on the desk, what was written on it? Qin Hua was so afraid that she would see it.

Nangong Ao came back from Anfu Palace and saw Ye Wange sitting upright as usual when he entered the door.

Nangong Ao looked at Ye Wange and said, "I went to the Empress Dowager's place to discuss activities to celebrate the festival. Do the Queen have any good suggestions for the festival?"

Ye Wange replied, "Every year's festival, the royal family arranges a lot of luxurious activities. I believe that the first festival of the emperor ascended the throne should be frugal."

When Nangong Ao heard Ye Wange's words, he nodded in agreement. He saved the expenses of the festival as much as possible. The national treasury was empty. He finally used tricks to fill the emptiness of the national treasury. If he put those silver flowers on the pursuit of fun, it would make the people of Northern Tang feel disappointed.

Ye Wange looked at Nangong Ao and said, "Emperor, I just want the emperor to be a wise king. I can't afford to eat salt even if the people of the Northern Tang Dynasty celebrate a festival. However, we are in the palace, and drinking and having fun, which makes the people of the world feel disappointed."

Ye Wange's words made Nangong Ao frown, "Empress, where do you start if the people in the world can't afford salt?"

Seeing that Nangong Ao was interested in this topic, Ye Wange said, "Our servants in the palace were sad a few days ago, asking me for some bags of salt, saying that it was a lie in the salt in my hometown, and I wrote to my family that I couldn't afford to eat salt."

"What's the reason? My Northern Tang produces millions of tons of salt every year, and the annual output is enough for me to eat it for several years. Why can't I eat salt anymore?" said Nangong Ao.

Ye Wange replied, "I heard that the price of salt in the people has increased several times in recent years. The price of salt is several times more expensive than grain, and it is comparable to the price of rare materials such as gold, silver, copper and iron, so people cannot afford it."

Nangong Ao was shocked when he heard Ye Wange's statement, "Is this the queen true?"

Ye Wange looked at Nangong Ao’s disbelief and said, “If the emperor doesn’t believe me, you can check it out in person!”

Nangong Ao was shocked and looked at Ye Wange and said, "I have never seen any memorial bringing up this matter."

Ye Wange replied, "How many officials and ministers in the court are not the ones who are not whitewashing Daping."

Nangong Ao was half-believing and half-doubted after hearing Ye Wange's words. He didn't believe that the ministers in the court, such as Ye Wange, all of them were whitewashing the peace. There were treacherous ministers, but there were also loyal and kind ones. Why didn't anyone report this matter alone?

What Nangong Ao didn't expect was that it was not that the officials below did not report the matter, but that the way to report the matter was blocked.

Ye Wange shook out the strange phenomenon that the Northern Tang Dynasty, a big country that produces salt, but the people cannot afford to eat salt, in order to attract attention from Nangong Ao and make Nangong Ao decide to send someone to investigate the matter.

After Ye Wange threw this bombshell, Nangong Ao could imagine how much he was.

Nangong Ao did not dare to delay for a moment, and he really sent someone to investigate the matter. Nangong Ao sent supervisor Zhang Sheng to investigate the matter.

Zhang Sheng had just received this secret order, but he didn't know that the news had already been revealed.

Ye Wange, who returned to Funing Palace, was in a good mood. Looking at Su Xinwei sitting on the phoenix couch, Ye Wange took out a small ruler and found the pair of bracelets that had been repaired by the craftsman and said, "Look, this is the relic left to you by your father, right?"

Su Xinwei took the bracelet from Ye Wansing's singer, and tears fell down, "Yes." She responded vaguely.

"I've found it for you, please keep it in your hands!" Ye Wange said.

After Ye Wange finished speaking, seeing Su Xinwei open her mouth, Ye Wange immediately spoke first, "You keep it!

Don't say more if you thank you!

If you really want to thank me, live well!"

Su Xinwei nodded after hearing this, and reached out to wipe away the tears from her face.

Ye Wange asked Su Xinwei to go to bed earlier, but Ye Wange asked Xiaodie to prepare paper and ink.

Ye Wange lights the candlelight and draws the tomb map on paper based on the memory in her mind.

Ye Wange worked hard all night to draw the picture. It was already midnight when she was lying on the phoenix couch. She was just squinting and dawned. Xiaodie urged Ye Wange to get up and said that the time for the concubines to come and pay their respects was almost here.

Ye Wange got up to wash, looked at the picture drawn on the table last night and had dried up. She picked up the picture and folded it into her sleeve.

After the concubine asked An to leave, Ye Wange waited for Cao Tianyue.

As soon as Cao Tianyue entered the room, Ye Wange took out the two pieces of stacked square paper from his sleeve and handed it to Cao Tianyue."

"What is this?" Cao Tianyue reached out and took it and asked.

Ye Wange replied, "This is a picture found from the relics left by Su Xinwei's father. I don't understand what it is. It's like a house. Follow this picture to search in the suburbs to see if there is such a place.

The other picture is the royal tomb map that I drew all night last night.”

Before Ye Wange finished speaking, Cao Tianyue asked excitedly, "I have found the tomb map, can I go in and find out what happened?"

Seeing Cao Tianyue so excited, Ye Wange said, "Don't be excited. Although he found the drawings, we still have to make a long-term plan to enter this tomb.

I handed this picture to you, just believe that you are not as restless as Concubine Yue, and I was excited for a moment and couldn't help but break into the cemetery."

Cao Tianyue also knew that before he found the craftsman to build the cemetery, it was even more difficult to enter the cemetery.

Ye Wange looked at Cao Tianyue and said, "No matter how detailed the drawings are, the craftsmen who have not built them are familiar with the terrain."

"I know, I'm trying my best to find the surviving craftsmen." Cao Tianyue replied.

Ye Wange, who had not been sleeping for almost a night, looked tired and said, "I have informed the emperor about the salt. I guess Shen Liang has also received news."

Cao Tianyue instantly understood the reason why Chen Liang asked the salt merchants to transport the salt away overnight.

"Chen Liang has already made any moves, and there is probably no movement recently." Cao Tianyue said.

Ye Wange smiled and said, "No, Chen Liang will make big moves immediately.

There is a shortage of salt in Nanzhao and the festival is about to celebrate again. Nanzhao will definitely buy it at a high price, and Chen Liang will definitely want to take the opportunity to make a fortune."

After hearing this, Cao Tianyue replied, "Does Chen Liang dare to take such a big danger?"

"If you have a point of profit, Chenliang dares to take risks, but now if you have a point of profit, Chenliang will definitely risk his head and even earn that white money into his pocket." Ye Wange said.

"Are we going to catch turtles in porcelain?" Cao Tianyue asked after hearing what Ye Wange meant.

"Of course." Ye Wange said with gloomy eyes.

The reason why Ye Wange exposed this matter to Nangong Ao was to let Nangong Ao send someone to investigate the matter. Then Chen Liang would definitely know the news in advance, stop the scattered transactions and turn into the underground for bulk transactions. Then Cao Tianyue could track down this clue, and then capture Chen Liang to show his presence, leaving Chen Liang unable to deny it.

Cao Tianyue also understood Ye Wange's intention. The number of scattered transactions was not large, and even if they were caught, they would not be guilty. Therefore, Ye Wange forced Chen Liang to stop the scattered transactions and interrupted the scattered method of conveying salt to Nan Zhao. Then Nan Zhao would be worried about the absence of salt before the festival, and would definitely send someone to contact Chen Liang for a large-scale salt transaction.

Ye Wange's plan was perfect, and if there were no accidents, Chen Liang would not be able to escape the invisible net she set up this time.

Cao Tianyue left with two drawings. Cao Tianyue carefully searched the suburbs according to the shape of the house on the drawings for a few days. As expected, hard work paid off. The house on the drawings was finally found by Cao Tianyue.

This house is located in a poor village in the suburbs. The village is called Gushui Village. The owner of this house is also named Gu, nicknamed Gu Heizi, and is a famous local village tyrant.

I heard that Gu Kuroko broke out in a business a few years ago, so I built this big mansion here.

Cao Tianyue also found out that caravans often come in and out of the Gu family's house, and it is unknown what the village people are doing.

Just the day before Su Xinwei was about to leave, Nangong Ao suddenly came to Funing Palace.

"Empress, the emperor is here." Xiao Yuanzi said panting.

Ye Wange was sitting there chatting with Su Xinwei. When she heard that Nangong Ao was coming, Su Xinwei immediately became anxious and looked at Ye Wange and said, "Empress, what should I do?"

Su Xinwei sat there and couldn't move, so she could only do something anxious. Ye Wange asked calmly, "Where have you been?"

Xiao Yuanzi replied, "I've entered the palace gate."

Ye Wange looked at Su Xinwei and said, "Su Xinwei, I'm sorry for you and hide under the phoenix couch."

Su Xinwei nodded, Xiao Yuanzi immediately picked up Su Xinwei and carried Su Xinwei to the ground beside the phoenix couch and put it down.

Su Xinwei climbed under the phoenix couch with difficulty, and Ye Wange went to the outdoor room to welcome Nangong Ao.
