I really didn't want to be emperor

Five Taoism.

After Ye Jun and Fusangren left, several silhouettes appeared on the top of the mountain, looking at the scene in front of them, with a dazed look on their faces.

All this is completely different from what they expected.

One person opened his mouth and said: "Didn't the master say that the Fusang people and Xiaoyao King will lose out? It seems that things have changed and you must report it to the master immediately."

The voice fell.

Several people turned around quickly and left from the top of the mountain.

..........

Three days later.

Jiang Yuncheng.

Outside a mansion.

Several people in black got off their horses and walked quickly towards the mansion. They left from the Wudao Temple.

Entering the mansion, under the leadership of the housekeeper, a few people walked through the corridor and came under a pavilion.

"Farewell to the master." Everyone bowed and saluted, and said in unison.

Under the pavilion, beside the stone table, a figure was sitting, hearing the voice coming from behind, and never looked back, "I already know about the Five Taoist Temples. You go to Nanhu City and get Yun Han and the others back."

Everyone bowed and left.

For a time.

Under the pavilion, there were only two figures left, and the butler said solemnly: "Master, Xiaoyao King is more difficult to deal with than we thought."

"So what? This is Jiangnan. Since the Fusang people can't let him know, then we will do it ourselves."

The housekeeper shouted again: "Master, the Song family was severely injured by King Xiaoyao. Next, which family will be supported?"

"In Jiangnan, apart from the Song family, the Lu family has the most say in the officialdom, but the Gu family has the most troops. Who do you think is better to support?"

The steward said: "Master, based on observations over the years, the Lu family has great ambitions. On the surface, they don’t have much military strength, but they have cultivated many people in secret. It is the Gu family who holds heavy soldiers, but only to protect themselves, even if the master supports them, It’s hard to do anything, let alone the Gu family’s tendency to be loyal to the court."

"Okay, then the Lu family, send news to Lu Shiyong, let him come to Jiangyun City, and say I want to see him."

"Yes, sir, the minion will do it!" The butler bowed and retreated outside the pavilion.

At this time.

The man slowly stood up, looked at the lake in front of him, and muttered to himself: "Xiaoyao King, let us continue to play, I hope you don't let the old man down."

..............

South Lake City.

After returning to the city, Ye Junzongma returned to the governor's mansion and hurriedly sent people to find Cao Zhengchun.

After about a stick of incense time.

Cao Zhengchun rushed into the air, bowed and bowed, and said, "Farewell to the prince."

Ye Jun motioned for him to get up, "Zhengchun, in the past few days since this king has left, nothing major has happened in the city."

Cao Zhengchun said: "Back to the prince, Hua Yunhan who was imprisoned in the prison was rescued. It was the person who rescued Song Rentu before. His subordinates have fought against him. This person is very strong."

Ye Jun's expression was indifferent, not surprised at all, "Any other things? Girl Chen is still in the city?"

Cao Zhengchun was startled, "After the prince left, Miss Chen never appeared again."

Ye Jun nodded lightly, squinting his eyes, "Sure enough, this king was deceived by them from the beginning."

The doubt on Cao Zhengchun's face became more and more intense, and he said: "The prince means..."

Ye Jundao: "Zhengchun, send Jin Yiwei to arrest the salt gang spies in the city. In addition, find an old man who is familiar with Jiangnan."

Cao Zhengchun worshipped: "Subordinates will do it now."

this moment.

Ye Jun’s feelings were best described in those words. After playing with the eagle all his life, he was pecked by the eagle.

An hour passed in a blink of an eye.

Cao Zhengchun brought an old man to the Cishi Mansion, and the two appeared beside Ye Jun, after bowing and saluting.

Ye Jun knows that the old man's surname is Zhou, "Lao Zhou, sit down and talk."

Mr. Zhou sat in front of the stone case opposite Ye Jun, "The prince is looking for the Caomin, what's the matter?"

Ye Jun is straightforward, "This king wants to know everything about the salt gang, can Lao Zhou tell me a little bit."

Old Zhou said: "Back to the prince, the salt gang is not a secret, anyone in Jiangnan knows it."

Ye Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Old Zhou, this king wants to know some Jiangnan people don't know."

Old Zhou looked embarrassed and hesitated for a moment, "Master, this is a bit embarrassing for the old man. The people in Jiangnan don't know things, how can the old man know?"

"Zhou is older and should know some gossip. Even if it is a rumor, you should know it better than others. Just tell this king what you know."

Ye Jun spoke slowly, raising his head to give Cao Zhengchun a look, and the latter took out an ingot of gold and placed it in front of Old Zhou.

Elder Zhou quickly said: "The prince doesn't have to be like this. The old man is a dying man. It would be an honor for the old man to help the prince.

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "Lord, let's put it this way, the salt gang has existed since ancient times. Every generation of gang owners has sold illegal salt for profit. The original salt gang has been very good to the people of Lianghuai, many People are willing to join the Salt Gang to work for them."

"But until three years ago, the Salt Gang completely changed. They began to collude with the government to do evil and harm the people. Since the second half of last year, the situation has become more and more severe. The people are really miserable, no matter who is dissatisfied with the Salt Gang. , It will bring a murderous disaster."

"When did it start specifically?" Ye Jun looked at Mr. Zhou and asked.

Zhou Lao said again: "Last year approached the New Year’s Pass. At that time, there were rumors that the salt gang was destroyed by the Song family, and the new salt gang supported by the Song family had always been the ones who committed crimes. These words are okay for others, but the old man is definitely not Will believe it."

"Why?" Ye Jun asked.

Elder Zhou continued: "The people didn't understand the Salt Gang, but the old man knew very well in his heart that Chen Cangyun, the leader of the Salt Gang, was definitely not something Song Rentu could defeat."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "Chen Cangyun became the master of the salt gang ten years ago, and the methods were extremely old. At that time, the officials in Lianghuai didn't give him three points, and the Song family was completely in front of the salt gang. Not worth mentioning."

Ye Jundao: "Old Zhou, Chen Cangyun has a wife?"

Elder Zhou nodded, "Chen Cangyun is very affectionate. His wife is from Jiang Yuncheng's flower family, but she has been dead for many years."

Jiang Yuncheng, Huajia.

Hua Yunhan, Chen Yan.

Women are really big liars, this time I see where you can escape.

Ye Jun whispered in his heart, looking sideways at Cao Zhengchun, "Send the order to Xuancheng, let Guo Jia take Cangmu to Jiangyun City, and gather the soldiers and horses of Jinyiwei and Nanhu City to go to Jiangyun City with my king."

Hear the sound.

Cao Zhengchun turned and walked away quickly.

Ye Jun's eyes fell on Zhou Lao, "Lao Zhou, continue to speak, this king loves to listen."

Zhou Lao said: "Master, it is rumored that the salt gang has always been supported by the rich and powerful in Jinling, so the officials in Lianghuai are very jealous of him, but this is the news that came out ten years ago. The prince walked very close."

Ye Jun raised his eyebrows and said in astonishment: "There used to be a prince guarding Jiangnan, who knows who he is?"
