After taming the Snow Fox, Mu Yunyao felt a sense of novelty. Not only did she personally cook for the Snow Fox, she even trimmed its nails and fur, as if she was treating it like a child.
Yue Yang received the news from Yangzhou City and handed the letter to Mu Yunyao. His gaze swept across the snow fox on her shoulder and his brows slightly moved. "You're a cunning fox, aren't you afraid that it'll attack you while you're not on guard?"
Mu Yunyao slightly raised the corner of her mouth and raised her arm. The Snow Fox crawled from her shoulder to her palm, "Didn't Fourth Elder say that the Snow Fox in Western Guangdong has intelligence? I think it knows what's best. "
The Snow Fox licked Mu Yunyao's fingertips ingratiatingly as it wagged its tail, trying its best to wrap it around her wrist. Its eyes were exceptionally intelligent.
Yue Yang was a little curious. He had seen other people taming the Snow Fox before, but had never seen the tamed Snow Fox being so intimate with his master. "What did you do?"
Mu Yunyao narrowed her eyes, "Killing a chicken as an example to a fox doesn't count?" She did not bring the Snow Fox to cook for nothing these few days. Although the animal was not smart, it had a keen intuition and knew how to choose the most advantageous option for it.
Joy scattered from Titan's eyes as he replied, "As long as it is obedient." Although the Snow Fox was smarter and harder to tame, he had an inexplicable feeling that Mu Yunyao had a way, and it seemed like she had picked the right one.
Mu Yunyao raised her hand and put the Snow Fox on her shoulder as she carefully read the contents of the letter. The Snow Fox was exceptionally cute. Seeing her lower her head, she couldn't help but lower her head to join in the fun.
The man and snow fox had curved eyebrows and eyes that looked extremely similar, causing King Yue to look at them more than once. He felt as if feathers were gently floating down from his heart, touching him felt a slight itch, causing his heart to palpitate.
"Looks like giving her the peony was quite effective." Mu Yunyao saw that the King was still in a daze after she finished speaking. She thought that he was thinking about something, so she couldn't help but wait quietly at the side.
Yue Yang returned to his senses and involuntarily closed his eyes. The corners of his lips curled up: "This way, our next plan will be much more secure."
"Yes, did Master Four hear about the people who were sent down to check the salt tax?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the Governor of Two Rivers, Li Yuan."
"Surnamed Li?" Did the Li family members appear too frequently?
King Yue nodded slightly. "Li Yuan is a branch of the Li family, and the First Prince's consort is currently from this branch. In all seriousness, the First Prince should address Li Yuan as his cousin." Then the entire Jiangnan City will be bustling with noise and excitement, "The Emperor has sent people to check the salt tax, so it is natural that they want to clean up the salt policy and not let the private salt trade be too rampant. However, if they send all the Li Family members to Jiangnan, it would be useless, right?
"
Jiang Nan had become the domain of the Li family. Why wouldn't they take the opportunity to rein in the salt merchant and help the First Prince develop his wings?
"Imperial Father's thoughts and actions have always had their own rules and regulations. It is very difficult for outsiders to guess what he is thinking, but from the looks of it, Royal Father should be somewhat dissatisfied with Eldest Brother."
Mu Yunyao quickly thought of the recently sealed Rainbow Moon Pavilion. There was a rumor that the First Prince's men had been active in the imperial court, hoping to help the pavilion obtain the Emperor's bestowal and recognition. However, the results were not satisfactory.
"Master Four, do you know what the governor of Two Rivers likes?"
King Yue was silent for a moment before his eyes flashed with a dark glint: "Beauty!"
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but chuckle. "That's true, how can there be men that don't like beauties in this world? Being fond of beauties is much easier. Could Fourth Master's Miss Ming Yin lend it to me for a period of time?"
"There's no need. I think Miss Ming Yin is an excellent person. Furthermore, with her assassination skills, she can prevent Li Yuan from using force to take advantage of her." With the plan in Mu Yunyao's mind, she couldn't help but relax a lot. She placed the Snow Fox on her lap and gently stroked its back.
Seeing Mu Yunyao's determination, King Yue did not try to force it anymore. His gaze fell on the Snow Fox who was squinting her eyes, "Have you decided what to name it?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. Do you have any advice for me, Master Four?"
"Snow Fox's body is light, and she is dashing through the snow as if she were flying. How about I call it Treading on the Snow?"
Mu Yunyao's smile was brilliant. It had to be said that the name that the Shabai King thought of really fit her heart. The ferret that the young miss of the Su Family had raised was called White Snow, and the fox she had raised was called Treading the Snow, so wasn't that the perfect way to express her state of mind?
"Ok, thank you for the name."
Not long after Mu Yunyao returned home, Qing Cheng walked in, "Your servant greets Miss."
"But did the person you were watching make a move?"
In response to Miss, one of the two midwives you were watching suffered a fire at home last night, and slept soundly at night. The house was burnt and collapsed, and she was unable to escape, causing the entire family to lose their lives.
Mu Yunyao nodded and indicated for the Jinlan Pouch at the side to be handed over.
Caiqing quickly refused, "Miss, I can't accept this."
I have limited ability and am unable to bring all of them here to live, but with their help, the reward they deserve will not be small. Spring Day has also come, and with the help of these silver taels, I will help them buy some clothes.
"Thank you, young miss, for your great kindness."
"There's no need to be like this. It's just a few taels of silver. In the future, if they find out any useful information, they can send it to the embroidered garden. If it's useful, they will at least be rewarded."
"Yes." In the evening, Wu Min and her men came back with the same news, "Mistress, Wu Min and her men are extremely careful, even after confirming Qi Ming's identity, they are still wary of him. Qi Ming and her men did not get any useful information, and from other people's mouths, we can vaguely sense that after a period of time, there will be a large amount of official salt.
We will be passing through Tombal Mountain City via the Xijiang River. " Mu Yunyao's heart stirred, "Seeing that the Emperor is about to dispatch people to check the salt tax, there shouldn't be a large amount of official salt being sold right now." Every time the salt tax was to be verified, the salt merchants would always reduce the amount of salt sold. After all, this was the time to keep a close eye on the situation and no one dared to mess with the salt tax.
It's a lot more expensive than usual.
"I only vaguely heard some news, it might not be true." All that was left was for the wind to find. For no reason at all, there would not be news like this that would spread out, telling everyone to be careful and not rush to investigate. At this time, the more stable and stable he was, the more confused people would be because of this.
