Wei Qinglian looked at the woman in front of her carefully. She had never heard of a woman serving as a salt inspector in the imperial court, but the token was authentic.
Regardless of whether the woman in front of her is really the salt patrol censor, she has always disliked interacting with people in the court, but she is still a little wary of Murong Yingluo. This time the court sent someone to come, could it be that the private salt transported by the Cao Gang was out of date?
question.
Since the imperial court has sent people to investigate the illegal salt incident, precautions must be taken as soon as possible.
"There has never been a woman in the imperial court who held the post of Salt Patrol Censor. What is the identity of the girl? This will dispel Qinglian's worries.
"Master, my name is Yingluo. My father is the general Murong Xuan. My sister is the queen of the dynasty. She grew up in the military camp. Someone came here to report to the court that someone was selling private salt. As a minister, I naturally have to do it for you.
Your Majesty shares your concerns, I will come to Puyang to investigate first, and your Majesty will send someone to come later."
He cursed in his heart: "Oh! He's just a pathfinder."
"Then how did the adults know that Zhuyin was harmed by Qinghan?" They were just dragged here by Wei Moxuan, and the whole story must be clarified.
At this time, Wei Moxuan walked out of the crowd and said, "Sister, I saw through Miss Murong's identity early on, so I invited her into the house. Our Wei family is upright and we are not afraid of investigation at all."
Wei Qinglian bit her teeth fiercely, Wei Moxuan didn't understand anything, he was simply leading the wolf into the house.
"When Mo Xuan was helping Zhuyin tidy up her appearance, he found rags in one of her hands, which was the style that Qinghan usually liked. We also found blood-stained shoes in her room. Miss Murong's martial arts
Gao Qiang, so he asked Miss Murong to pretend to be Zhuyin."
Wei Qinglian looked at Wei Moxuan with resentful eyes. She was really confused! Since Xiao Zhuyin was dead, even though Wei Qinghan was at fault, his sister wanted to slap her unsatisfactory brother. Wei Qinghan was frightened and admitted,
Both are equally stupid!
There are people from the imperial court who cannot protect him. "Since Qinghan accidentally killed Zhuyin, let the government handle it."
Wei Qinglian reminded Wei Qinghan that he admitted that he harmed Xiao Zhuyin during the entanglement and knocked over the candlestick in panic. Everything was manslaughter. As long as he gave enough money, he could still save Wei Qinghan's life. She hoped that it was not too late to make amends.
"Since we are distinguished guests! It's inconvenient to live in Mo Xuan's courtyard. Why don't we move to the guest room from tomorrow so that we can check the account books more conveniently." Those account books had been tampered with and she couldn't tell anything.
Tomorrow is the day when Xiao Zhuyin is buried. Everyone disperses and goes back to their rooms to rest early.
Wei Qinglian led the people away, keeping an eye on Si Wushang out of the corner of her eye. She noticed early on that he had a different temperament. The imperial court would not send a yellow-haired girl to be a tour censor. This girl must be a fake.
Murong Yingluo's eyes fell on Wei Zhongkun. The bait had been laid, and she was waiting for the big fish Wei Zhongkun to take the bait.
"Mo Xuan! Come with me!" It is necessary for the two of them to have a serious talk.
Murong Yingluo casually looked through the account books sent by celebrity Wei Qinglian. She knew that these account books had been manipulated and there would be no problems.
"This Wei Qinglian clearly wants to distract us with fake account books."
Si Wushang flipped through the account book from beginning to end, "It's not without gains. We can see the pattern of their shipments and purchases. Those poisonous salts were mixed with private salts and shipped everywhere."
"In this case, if we check the Caobang's account books, we will know the whereabouts of the poisonous salt."
"How can it be that easy? The Caobang is only responsible for transporting it to various state capitals. As for how it is transported to the military camp, there should be a high-ranking person like General Murong, otherwise how could the salt be dropped without anyone noticing."
Yingluo's frown couldn't be his father. Yingluo was thinking of a person who had a close relationship with the ancient Wu Kingdom.
"Gongyichu!"
The night was dark, the originally sparsely scattered dark stars in the sky had receded, and the dark clouds on the horizon had obscured the dim starlight.
The dark night was as dark as ink, dark clouds surged into the sky, the cold night wind blew, a bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, and the night rain suddenly came.
In the prison of Puyang Mansion, Wei Qinghan was imprisoned in a clean and tidy prison room. The most indispensable thing for the Wei family was money. Apart from the lack of freedom, there was no difference between him and the Wei Mansion.
Even if Wei Qinghan killed someone, she was still her biological sister after all. In order to settle the relationship between the Xiao family and the government, Wei Qinglian worked hard.
Listening to the thunder outside, she regretted that she couldn't escape from the prison without knowing martial arts. When she escaped, the first thing she did was to confront the dead girl who betrayed her!
The light was half dim, and I didn't realize that sleepiness was coming over me. The sound of hurried steps, masked by the thunder, was heading towards the cell. I heard someone approaching at the door.
Who will come in the middle of the night? "Who?"
"Squeak!" The door was pushed open, and Wei Zhongkun walked in wearing night clothes.
"It's my second uncle. Qinglian asked me to send you out of Puyang City overnight before your sentence is pronounced." He casually removed the scarf from his face.
Wei Qinghan looked at Wei Zhongkun with blank eyes. She was sitting on the right side of Wei Zhongkun. Looking at Wei Zhongkun's profile, she suddenly remembered that the man in black that night was his second uncle.
With a trembling voice, he said: "Second Uncle, it's very nice here. If I leave, I will be absconding in fear of crime and will be wanted."
Wei Zhongkun originally wanted to lure Wei Qinghan out, so that all traces could be washed away during the rainy night, and no one would notice him.
Listening to Wei Qinghan's tight voice full of fear, maybe he discovered the purpose of his visit, "Why are you afraid of me?"
"No, no! Second uncle, I'm just a little cold!"
He came to avenge his unborn child who was buried in her hands. Since she was so uncooperative, it would be more troublesome to take action here.
There was a ribbon hidden in his sleeve, and he held it in his hand. Wei Qinghan tensed up and stepped back. Seeing Wei Zhongkun's ferocious look, he asked, "Second...Second uncle, what are you going to do?"
"What to do? Of course I want to take your life and avenge my unborn child!"
"Qinghan doesn't understand, second uncle!" The silk ribbon was already wrapped around his neck.
Wei Qinghan's eyes widened, and her stiff body fell to the ground lifeless. Wei Zhongkun took off her belt and wrapped it around her neck. In order to avoid further trouble, he pretended to hang himself.
Suddenly, a cold female voice came from the door, "Wei Zhongkun! Let's talk?"
Murong Yingluo suddenly appeared in the cell, followed by Si Wushang and Yang Bupo.
Shaoqing, Yingluo negotiated terms with Wei Zhongkun and let him leave.
Murong Yingluo looked at Wei Qinghan's body lying on the ground and stretched out her hand to check her pulse to see if she could still be saved.
"She is already dead. If we could have rescued her before Wei Zhongkun took action, she would not have died.
"Luo'er, kill someone to pay for your life, and pay your debts for money. Wei Qinghan holds two lives in her hands."
"I'm afraid the Wei family is going to be in chaos again. This time it's the third young lady of the Wei family who died! How are we going to explain to Wei Moxuan?"
Wei Moxuan seems decadent, but he is very scheming. "We help him clear out the Wei family. Wei Moxuan is happy before it's too late. He will definitely cooperate with us. As for Wei Zhongkun, this clue completely unlocks the important evidence of selling poisonous salts."
, we must ensure his safety."
It's not that Yingluo couldn't see the current situation clearly. King Zheng allowed Wei Zhongkun to kill Wei Qinghan, which meant that he wanted to cut off the relationship between the Wei family and the Cao Gang. As long as the two gangs don't unite, there won't be much trouble.
What the Wei family really has to worry about is Wei Qinglian, who is probably already very worried at this time.
