"Your Majesty, we have checked and found that it is not a salt-making technique at all. It is all fake and it is impossible to make salt. And what we have been tracking - there are no buyers at all for the goods sold outside Yelan. In fact, they are transported to the border by water! "

Before Shen Yan had time to figure out how Marquis Dingguo won the battle, another piece of bad news came to him.

He was so dizzy that he couldn't help but asked in a vicious voice: "You said you can't make salt, so what are you sending out?! Is it food?!"

After saying that, Shen Yan himself suddenly looked up as if he had discovered something.

The subordinates also gritted their teeth and nodded, "Your Majesty, the Habayashi Guards have escorted the Minister of Household Affairs to the palace. Our people discovered that the private house is not a place for making salt at all, but a place used by Yelan to store grain. ! She has been secretly purchasing grain from the people at high prices and sending it to the border."

"Food...food, impossible, how could she do it under my nose..." Shen Yan suddenly stopped talking and his eyes widened instantly.

During this period, Ye Lan had the only opportunity to have contact with the people under his nose...

It was Ye Lan who announced that he would subsidize every citizen whose grain was requisitioned by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

During that time, people kept coming in and out of Yejia.

Could it be that it was at that time that Yelan purchased grain from the people at a high price, and then pretended to be making salt, but in fact he was raising grain to transport to the border.

No wonder he found out about the illegal salt so easily.

Mingxiu plank road, dark Chencang.

If she were to transport food directly, he would definitely stop her.But if she is selling illegal salt, in order to leave solid evidence, she will definitely acquiesce to her behavior and allow her to transport it.

wrong……

Shen Yan suddenly thought that since Yelan had already prepared and used her personal wealth as a cover to deceive him, there was no need for her to agree to hand over her property.

Why would she come out?

Shen Yan's body became extremely stiff. What if the things she handed over were not valuable at all, and might even be a trap?

……

night home.

The victory of Marquis Dingguo caught Sanfang off guard, but the last straw that broke the camel's back was the news that Ye Hongbai was taken to the palace for trial.

This is completely different from what they expected.

Will the Marquis of Dingguo be defeated?

Where is Yelan being accused?

Why aren't there any?

Instead, something happened to Ye Hongbai!

With trembling hands, Ji pointed at the servant and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze? Go, go and find out what's going on!"

The servants looked at Ji's crazy look and quickly turned around and left without saying anything.

The land deed in Ye Weirou's hand was no longer fragrant, and she felt like it was stuck in her throat. She grabbed the hem of Ji's clothes and didn't understand why they were waiting for the victory song just now, but now they suddenly fell into the abyss.

"It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this...Mom, why did it become like this? What went wrong?"

What happened to Ye Hongbai made Ji panic, and she covered her face and cried.

Ye Xujie was still calm, but his face was pale now, and his fingers were tightly clasped on the armrests. "Don't be anxious. Just because you were brought into the palace by the Yulin Guards, it doesn't necessarily mean that something happened to your father. Don't panic." position!"

How could Ji's listen? Tears were streaming down her face.

"Where's the pass over there! Why did we suddenly win the battle? Weren't we already running out of food and grass? Who did this..." Ye Weirou stood up suddenly, her eyes full of anger, "I understand. Who else can this kind of thing have anything to do with? It must be Yelan, she is controlling all this! Damn it, why does she always have to go against me!"

At this time, at the end of the night in Fanghua Garden, Qingye made a pot of Pu'er given by Gong Yu and enjoyed the initial success.

Qingye and Yunzhu were spinning in circles excitedly.

Especially Yunzhu, his eyes were full of admiration for Ye Lan, "Girl, I really didn't expect that you secretly tricked Chen Cang and tricked Shen Yan and Sanfang!"

"What's wrong with this?" Pu'er was put into his mouth. Yelan felt bitter in his mouth, but he enjoyed the sweetness brought by the bitterness.

When Qingye came up, he beat Yelan on the shoulder. He already compared Yelan to a fairy in the sky. Otherwise, how could he be so good?

"Girl, I really admire you so much!"

Ye Lan smiled and waved his hand.

It is too easy to break their game.

Shen Yan wanted to discredit her family and get the assets in her hands.

In addition to coveting the money in her hands, Sanfang also wanted to inherit the title.

See all their purposes clearly and exploit them.

Shen Yan definitely didn't know that she had already planned to sell the shops in her hands long before he took action.

The huge property left behind by my mother is indeed a golden mountain.

But there will also be rats gnawing under the golden mountain. This group of people only know that the golden mountain is glamorous, but they don’t know that guarding it is even more difficult. Over the years, this so-called golden mountain has actually become complicated and cumbersome.

If these people wanted it, she would give it to them.

What will happen when they find out that the shop they got is not a golden mountain but a human-eating trap?

……

In the imperial study room, the emperor looked indifferently at Ye Hongbai, who was kneeling in front of him and shivering.

"Did nothing be found in the private residence?"

"Nothing suspicious has been found. The Criminal Department is now interrogating those guys. I don't know if there are any clues."

Ye Hongbai couldn't help but trembled when he heard the conversation between the emperor and General Yulinwei.

"Didn't you say that the private salt was shipped out? What happened?"

"Your Majesty, what the guy said is that the eldest daughter of the Ye family collected grain from the people at a high price and then transported it to the border by waterway. However, this matter has not been confirmed yet. I have sent people to investigate along the way, and there will be news soon."

The emperor nodded. In fact, after hearing this, the matter was almost completely clear. He looked at Ye Hongbai and his voice suddenly dropped, "Ye Aiqing, didn't you keep saying that the big girl is selling private salt? Why did it turn into Have you shipped food?"

"Chen...chen..." Ye Hongbai wanted to explain, but he didn't know how.

He had heard about Ye Lan selling illegal salt from Shen Yan, so he was so sure that Ye Lan was selling illegal salt, but he never thought that Shen Yan would also fail.

The emperor said casually: "Ye Aiqing, this is a fraud... Marquis Dingguo fought a victory for our Jingguo. He fought bravely on the front line to kill the enemy, but behind the scenes his daughter was misunderstood and sold private salt. I almost lost my head. You said that if this matter spreads, how will I face the loyal Marquis Dingguo? I don't care about any conflicts between you and your brother, but I shouldn't bring matters between brothers to an open fight. Do you understand?"

Ye Hongbai's psychological defense collapsed, and he kowtowed to the emperor several times, "Your Majesty is right, I understand."

"In this case, I won't criticize you too much, but the punishment must be given. You will not be the Minister of Household Affairs for the time being. Your official position will be demoted by one rank and your salary will be fined for three years." The emperor's eyebrows were lazy and he casually decided on Ye Hongbai's punishment. .

When Ye Hongbai heard this, he didn't know whether he was happy or desperate. He fell to the ground and looked at the emperor.

When he looked at the emperor's expression, there was no trace of anger.

He is moody and moody, just like Gong Yu, who is famous in the capital.

No, there should be some shadow of the emperor in Gong Yu.

No wonder...the emperor loves Gong Yu so much.

Ye Hongbai didn't know what he was thinking about, but now he felt that everything was over. If the emperor demoted him like this, his future would be hopeless.
