Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 196 Killing the chicken to make an example to the fox

After taming the snow fox, Mu Yunyao was very novel. Not only did she cook for the snow fox herself, but she also trimmed its nails and fur, as if treating it like a child.

King Yue received the news from Yangzhou City, and handed the letter to Mu Yunyao. His eyes glanced at the snow fox lying on her shoulder, and his eyebrows moved slightly: "Foxes are cunning, you are so defenseless against it. Aren't you afraid that it will take advantage of the chaos and attack you?"

Mu Yunyao raised the corners of her lips slightly, raised her arms, and the snow fox crawled along her arm from her shoulder to her palm: "Didn't the fourth master say that the snow foxes in western Guangdong are spiritual, and after being tamed, they are very protective of the master? I think it’s best to figure out what to do.”

Xuehu licked Mu Yunyao's fingertips flatteringly, wagging his tail and tried hard to wrap her around her wrist, his eyes were exceptionally agile.

King Yue was a little curious. He had seen others tame a snow fox, but he had never seen a tamed snow fox so close to its master: "What did you do?"

Mu Yunyao narrowed her eyes: "Does it count as killing chickens to scare the fox?" She didn't take Xuehu to cook for nothing these days. Although the animal is not smart enough, it has a keen intuition and knows how to choose the most beneficial for it. .

There was a smile in King Yue's eyes: "It's good if it is obedient." He caught several snow foxes and deliberately chose the one that looked the most spiritual. Although the smarter the snow fox is, the harder it is to tame, but he somehow felt that Mu Yunyao There is a way, and now it seems to be the right choice.

Mu Yunyao raised her hand and placed Xuehu on her shoulder, carefully reading the contents of the letter. Xuehu was extraordinarily well-behaved. Seeing her bowing her head, she couldn't help lowering her head and went over to join in the fun.

One person, one Xuehu, with crooked brows and upturned eyes, made King Yue couldn't help but take a few more glances. He felt as if a feather was falling gently from his heart. The touch was soft and itchy, making his heart tremble uncontrollably. .

"It seems that the effect of sending peonies is not bad." After Mu Yunyao finished speaking, seeing King Yue was still in a daze, thinking that he was thinking about something, so she couldn't help but wait quietly.

King Yue came back to his senses, lowered his eyes involuntarily, and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "In this way, our next plan will be much more secure."

"Well, fourth master, did you hear who was sent to check the salt tax this time?"

"If there are no accidents, it should be Li Yuanyi, Governor of Liangjiang."

"Surnamed Li?" Did the Li family appear too frequently?

King Yue nodded slightly: "Li Yuanyi is a side branch of the Li family, and the current eldest prince and concubine is from this branch. Seriously, the eldest prince should call Li Yuanyi a cousin."

Mu Yunyao couldn't help raising the corners of her lips, and secretly sighed in her heart, then the whole Jiangnan will be bustling: "The emperor sent someone to check the salt tax, of course he wants to rectify the salt administration, so that private salt sales are not allowed to go too far Rampant, but if we send all the Li family members to the south of the Yangtze River, it might not be effective, right?"

Jiangnan has become the world of the Li family, why don't they take the opportunity to win over the salt merchants and help the eldest prince develop his wings?

"Father is meticulous in thinking, and has always had his own set of rules and regulations. It is difficult for outsiders to guess, but right now, father should be somewhat dissatisfied with big brother."

Mu Yunyao quickly thought of the Caiyue Pavilion that had been seized recently. There were rumors that the eldest prince's people had been active in the court, hoping to help Caiyue Pavilion get the emperor's reward and recognition, but the result was not satisfactory.

"Does Fourth Master know what the governor of Liangjiang likes?"

King Yue was silent for a while, his eyes moved slightly, and a dark color flashed: "Beauty!"

Mu Yunyao couldn't help chuckling: "That's right, there is no man in the world who doesn't love beauty, and it's much easier to do if you like beauty. Can you lend me a period of time to train Miss Mingyin under Fourth Master?"

"Mingyin practiced assassination skills. If you want to use it to deal with Li Yuanyi, I'm afraid the effect will not be very good. I can find someone else to send it to you."

"No, I think Miss Mingyin is very good, and she has assassination skills, and she can also prevent Li Yuanyi from taking advantage of her by force." Gently stroking its back on your lap.

Seeing Mu Yunyao's insistence, King Yue didn't force it anymore, and his eyes fell on the squinting Xuehu: "Can you think of a name for it?"

"I haven't thought about it. What can fourth master teach me?"

"The snow fox is light in stature and gallops like flying on the snow. How about calling it Treading Snow?"

Mu Yunyao smiled brilliantly. I have to say that the name King Yue thought of really fits her heart. The eldest lady of the Su family raised a ferret named Baixue, and the fox she raised was named Taxue. , isn't it an extremely appropriate expression of her state of mind?

"Okay, thank you fourth master for giving me the name."

Not long after Mu Yunyao returned home, Cai Qing walked in: "My servant has seen Miss."

"But did the person you stared at move?"

"Miss Hui, the two stable women you asked to watch, one of them was caught in a fire at home last night, and he slept soundly at night, the house burned down, and he couldn't escape. My mother-in-law drank some wine when she came back from delivering the baby, slipped and slipped into the water and drowned."

Mu Yunyao nodded, motioning for the Jinlan purse on one side to pass over.

Cai Qing hastily declined: "Miss, this is impossible."

"Take it, the children from the Salesian Bureau have been used in this investigation. I have limited ability, and there is no way to bring them here to live, but they have worked hard, and the rewards they should have will not be less. Here, use these silver taels to buy some clothes for them."

Cai Qing hurriedly knelt down to thank her: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss."

"It's not necessary, it's just some silver. In the future, if they hear any useful information, they can send it to Jinxiu Garden. If it is useful, they will give them some money."

"Yes."

In the evening, Liuliang rushed back with the news of Qi Ming: "Master, Wu Minzhi and others are extremely careful. After proving Qi Ming's identity in every possible way, they are still on guard against him. Qi Ming didn't get any useful news, and only vaguely noticed it from others. After a while, a large number of official salt will leave the Xijiang River and pass through Jingling City."

Mu Yunyao's heart moved: "Seeing that the emperor is about to send people to check the salt tax, there should not be a large number of official salt sales at this time." Every time the salt tax check is coming, the salt merchants will reduce the sales of salt. Keep an eye on the time, and no one dares to tamper with the salt tax, which will increase the cost a lot more than usual.

"I just heard the news vaguely, but it may not be true."

"It's groundless, and it's what it's entrusted to. There will be no such news for no reason. Let Qi Ming be careful and don't rush to inquire. The more stable this time, the more confusing people will be. He is preparing for Yi Baoxuan. It should be a while, how are you preparing?"
