Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

815 kill him
Back in Wanchun Garden, as soon as Yan Mu entered the door, Xue Changfeng rushed in front of him bluffing.

"Old Qi, something serious happened. Gu Zian was taken away by Li Huai's men!"

The corner of Yan Mu's mouth twitched, "I know."

"Ah, you know?"

Yan Mu ignored him, bypassed him and walked into the hall, but saw that everyone was there.Mrs. Gu was crying, and Liu Yunxiang was comforting her.Feng Zheng's face was blue, as if he was holding back a burst of anger.

He walked over and sat down on the main seat, then looked at the mud on his boots.

"Old Qi, hurry up and say something, what should we do next?" Xue Changfeng chased after him and asked.

When he asked, everyone also looked over.

Liu Yunxiang got up first and poured a cup of tea, handed it to Yan Mu, and asked gently: "What does Li Huai mean?"

"He wants to hand over those account books to the imperial court." Yan Mu said.

"Absolutely not!" Feng Zheng shouted, "Master Yang will go all out and spare his life. Don't let his hard work go to waste!"

"Especially this will destroy Yanzhou." Mrs. Gu also said anxiously.

Liu Yunxiang frowned. She has felt the prosperity of Yanzhou, the righteousness of local officials in Yanzhou, and the simplicity of the people of Yanzhou. These days, she has felt it.Is such a good place really going to be destroyed?
"There is only one way now." Yan Mu said.

"What method?" Feng Zheng asked.

Yan Mu took another look at the mud on his boots, then raised his head and said, "Kill Li Huai."

As soon as these words came out, everyone else gasped.

His Majesty the Seventh Highness said to kill, and it was the imperial court official who killed him!
"Kill him." Yan Mu took a deep breath, "That's the only way to stop him!"

"But the guards in the government office are heavily guarded, so it's not easy to kill him." Liu Yunxiang quickly accepted the proposal, but killing Li Huai is also a problem.

"I'll go!" Feng Zheng stood up, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely kill him and dismember him!"

"I'll go too!" Zijin said.

"Don't make trouble." Feng Zheng frowned.

"Why am I making trouble, my kung fu is better than yours!"

"Speak up."

"you!"

The two quarreled again, Liu Yunxiang waved his hands to tell them to shut up first, and then looked at Yan Mu, "Since we want to do this, we must do it, otherwise we will have no chance."

Yan Mu nodded, "So I'll go too."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Are you going too?"

Yan Mu smiled with deep eyes, "I got a little dirty on his place, I have to return it to you."

Although Liu Yunxiang was worried, seeing that Yan Mu had already made up his mind, she had no choice but to tell her: "Be careful and careful, safety is the most important thing."

Yan Mu held Liu Yunxiang's hand, "Don't worry, I, Yan Mu, have never missed anyone I want to kill."

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Yan Mu asked Zijin and Xue Changfeng to protect Liu Yunxiang, and then he took Feng Zheng there.

Liu Yunxiang was so worried that he couldn't sit still.She asked Zijin to go up to the roof, paying attention to the direction of the government office to see if anything happened.

Zijin stood on the roof, wanting to look far away, looking at the night view of Yanzhou, he couldn't help but wow, "Girl, Shengjing is prosperous, but slaves don't need to go to Shengjing to see Yanzhou, the long street is full of lanterns, like a A fire dragon, the lights of thousands of families are like stars in the sky."

Liu Yunxiang sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard. The prosperity of Yanzhou was beyond expectations. She thought that the reason why Yan Mu killed Li Huai was to protect such Yanzhou.

"It would be great if all places in Dayong were like this." Zijin said again.

"Yes, I hope your words will come true one day."

It's just that nowadays, the imperial court is full of factional struggles, the local civil strife is constant, and the Southern Jin Dynasty is stalking outside. It is a very difficult task to spread the prosperity of Yanzhou throughout the entire Great Rong.

At this moment, she will feel that her shoulders are a little heavy.

Fortunately, before dawn, Yan Mu and Feng Zheng returned safely.

When they came back, it meant that Li Huai was dead.Seeing Feng Zheng's red eyes, Liu Yunxiang obviously cried. She didn't ask any questions, but told them to rest quickly.

Back in the inner room, Liu Yunxiang helped Yan Mu take off his coat, seeing blood on it, she hurriedly pulled him over to check.

"Li Huai's." Yan Mu said.

Liu Yunxiang looked around, and was relieved to see that Yan Mu was indeed not injured.She saw the account book that Yan Mu put aside again, picked up the top one and flipped through a few pages.

"Every page is a big hole."

"Yang He is really courageous."

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "Although these account books have been taken back, how should Yang He's case be settled? How should his life be saved? What should Yanzhou do in the future?"

Yan Mu pulled Liu Yunxiang and told her to lie down and rest, "Don't worry about these things."

"You have an idea?"

The corner of Yan Mu's mouth twitched, and he lay down beside Liu Yunxiang, "It's actually very simple."

"what?"

"Create false accounts and spend the 100 million taels on the account."

Liu Yunxiang's eyes widened, "You, you want to make false accounts too? You are fools when you are court officials, you..."

No, Yan Mu never does stupid things.Sure enough, at this moment, Yan Mu laughed aloud.

She wanted to ask, but Yan Mu hugged her and told her to go to bed quickly.

"You see that you have lost weight. When you return to Beijing, you must make up for it."

Liu Yunxiang leaned into Yan Mu's arms, and heaved a long sigh of relief. Now that Yan Mu had an idea, she didn't worry anymore.

"After the matter in Yanzhou is settled, I want to go to Yangzhou."

"About the brocade weaving workshop?"

"Ah."

"I'll accompany you."

"You still have to go back to Shengjing for business, don't worry, I won't go for too long."

The next day, Liu Yunxiang got up a little late, and when she came out after washing up, she saw Gao Yuanwai sitting in the hall, holding those account books and shaking his head vigorously.

"Your Highness, one million taels, it's too difficult to spend cleanly without leaving any traces."

Liu Yunxiang knew immediately after hearing the words, Yan Mu asked Gao Yuan to come in to make this fake account, he is a businessman, so he still has the ability to some extent.

"Who told you to leave no trace?" Yan Mu raised his eyebrows.

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

"Li Huai was the government office of Yanzhou seven years ago. During his three years in office, he undertook the project of building the palace, and used the extra [-]% tax to cover all the expenses required for the construction of the palace, right?"

Gao Yuanwai nodded, "That's right."

"I want you to spend the 100 million in the account, but leave a trace, and check the account of the palace."

"what?"

"That is to say, Li Huai did not make up enough silver taels to build the palace in those three years, leaving many holes, and Yang He was greedy for the 100 million taels to make up for these holes."

Hearing this, Gao Yuanwai immediately understood what Yan Mu meant, and immediately began to wipe off his cold sweat.

"Your Highness, you, you are pouring dirty water in front of the emperor!"

"Only in this way, the emperor will not allow people to investigate deeply. And Yang He is cleaning up the mess for the emperor. His loyalty can be learned from, and the emperor will naturally not kill Yang He again. As for this muddled account, anyway, Li Huai is dead. Just push it on him."

Gao Yuanwai gave a thumbs up in admiration, but his body trembled a little, probably frightened by Yan Mu's audacity.

"It's just that it's not easy to do this fake account well. It needs to leave traces, but don't be too deliberate." Gao Yuanwai smoothed his mustache, and had an idea, "There is one person... No, she must won't help."

"Who?"

Gao Yuanwai hesitated for a moment, and said: "My sister, the proprietress of Luoxia Silk and Satin Village, she is a master of accounting."
