If I want to run away from the outer chamber, I will criticize the prince madly and take me into the

Chapter 35 It turns out to be a Brahma flower

In order to prevent another accident, Cui Ying decided to stay at home for the next three days and not go anywhere.

It's just that things on Chu Yan's side are not going well.

Qingmu Town is not big, and there are not many people in the villages downriver, but these people seem to have been bribed by the Ma family, and they can't ask for anything useful at all.

Even if they conceal their identities now and make insinuations, they will not say a word.

Cheng Chong handed the water bag in his hand to Chu Yan and said: "If this continues, it seems that we won't be able to get any useful information. Master, why don't you go back first? Come and inquire?"

Chu Yan looked at the village not far away with deep eyes. From a small Yunzhou, he couldn't find any useful information. One can imagine how powerful the Ma family is in Yunzhou.

"No need."

He rejected Cheng Chong's suggestion. In addition to investigating the Ma family and the person behind the scenes, he also wanted to investigate the source of the letter. He could not leave so easily.

"Isn't that the child I met in the jade mine that day?"

At this moment, there was a loud noise not far away, and a child stood outside the crowd. It was the child they rescued in the jade mine that day.

He seemed to be aware of the two people's gaze. He just turned his head and glanced at them before running away in a hurry.

Cheng Chong stepped forward and stopped him: "Why are you running?"

The child struggled, but could not withstand Cheng Chong's strength. He pulled him to Chu Yan. The three of them found a secluded place. Chu Yan looked at the panic in his eyes and knew at a glance that he must understand something.

"What is your name."

Even if the man is just sitting on an ordinary stone, he can't hide his aura, especially the overwhelming pressure.

"No name."

He lowered his head and replied. Cheng Chong thought he was joking and scolded: "Answer well."

"No name means no name."

He turned his head away, and there was no trace of his appearance on his dirty little face.

"Then why do the people in the mine call you?"

Chengchong asked, and he whispered back: "They call me puppy."

He has neither father nor mother, and he grew up eating hundreds of meals. The old people said that people with cheap names are easy to make a living, so he got the name Puppy.

"You know about the jade mine."

Chu Yan crossed his legs and bent forward to meet the puppy's eyes. He used affirmative sentences. Facing him, the puppy couldn't help but swallowed. He was about to say that he didn't know, when he heard him Then he said: "You know Gu's identity."

"If I tell you, will Your Highness let me live?"

The puppy asked tentatively, but those people did not dare to say anything because they knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would leave Yunzhou one day, but the Ma family would not fall.

Anyway, many officials have come to Yunzhou over the years. After careful management, the Ma family can still stand firmly in Yunzhou. Even the prefect will protect him.

Of course the puppy knew what was going on, but if he told it, it would lead to death, and he didn't want to die.

"Do you know who is in front of you?"

Cheng Chong wanted to laugh a little. In this world, if His Highness the Crown Prince's orders didn't work, then Yunzhou would really be turned upside down.

"I know, yes, it's His Highness the Crown Prince."

The puppy lowered his head and heard the man in front of him say coldly: "Just tell me." "I'll keep you safe."

After receiving this promise, the puppy raised his eyes and looked at the two of them before telling the whole story about Qingmu Town.

There are not many people in Qingmu Town, and most of them are engaged in jade business. Because it borders Dongyi Country, the two countries also have trade exchanges. Over time, this relationship has become a stable cooperative relationship.

In fact, before the Ma family monopolized the entire Yunzhou business, everyone could also make a little money. However, since Ma Chaoyang used his connections to get the right to take charge of the imperial jade mine, everything has moved forward. Gone out of control.

The Ma family was rich and willing to spend money. In addition, Cui Yunliang was not an honest official. After going back and forth, a stable relationship of interest was formed between the two.

Cui Yunliang takes money from Ma Chaoyang. In contrast, he will not interfere too much in the Ma family's affairs in Yunzhou, and will also help Ma Chaoyang.

"So, did Ma Chaoyang collect the extra 20% of taxes in the name of the court?"

Cheng Chong asked after listening, and the puppy nodded: "Yes."

"In addition to the jade business in Yunzhou, the Ma family is also engaged in smuggling business. He has a botanical garden full of Salha flowers."

This is not a secret in Yunzhou. Everyone who works under Ma Chaoyang knows about it, but no one wants to tell Chu Yan and the others.

"What is the Bolo flower?"

Chu Yan asked in a deep voice, and the little dog thought about it for a while: "The shopkeeper of the medicine shop calls the rosemary flower the rosemary purple. After grinding it into powder and taking it, it will have a hallucinogenic effect. I don't know about the rest. "

"Also, Ma Chaoyang has a casino. Many people who lost money were forced to sign a contract of sale. If the money was not paid, those with wives and daughters were sold into flower houses, and those with sons became His slave."

After finishing speaking, he knelt down and said to Chu Yan: "Please, Your Highness, please save me and save the people of Yunzhou."

Listening to these words, Cheng Chong's always stern face was filled with anger. What does Ma Chaoyang's actions have to do with the bandits? And Cui Yunliang, who did nothing while eating the emperor's salary, is really sorry for what the court gave him. this official position.

"Chengchong, take him back."

Chu Yan stood up and gave instructions. Seeing that he was about to leave, Cheng Chong asked, "Does Your Highness want to do anything else?"

"Go and get something alone."

"Does Your Highness want to get Ma Chaoyang's account book? I know where it is. I will take Your Highness there."

The puppy walked to Chu Yan and said something.

Chu Yan looked at him and said after a while: "Cheng Chong, you and him go to get the account book, I have to go somewhere."

After that, he left without waiting for Chengchong to speak again.

He wanted to go to the botanical garden to have a look. The plantation of the Salha flower was strictly prohibited by the imperial court. Once someone was found planting it privately, it would be a death penalty. What was Ma Chaoyang doing growing so many Barra flowers?
Chu Yan couldn't help but think of the rosemary purple mentioned in the letter from the wet nurse when he first arrived in Dongyi Kingdom. But he didn't know until today that rosemary purple is the scientific name of the Brahma flower.

At night, Cheng Chong quietly entered the jade mine under the leadership of the puppy. The puppy said that Ma Chaoyang was very suspicious and valuables must be kept in the place he trusted most.

Yunzhou's mansion is too eye-catching, and he won't hide anything.

Under the jade mine, there was a dark room, which contained the account books they needed and Ma Chaoyang's business dealings over the years. With these two things, it was not a problem to find out who was behind the scenes.

"You just stay here and don't go anywhere. If I don't come out in an hour, you go to this place to find His Highness."

Cheng Chong told the puppy about the mansion and where Ying Dong was. If he failed to come out of the dark room, it meant that Ma Chaoyang had noticed them and there was no need to continue pretending.

The puppy nodded solemnly, and then gave a bag of things to Chengchong: "Here are the bald flowers that I stole from the botanical garden. Brother, take it."
