Chapter 26 Jiang Qinian Returns to Haicheng
"At the same time, I was given a new task, asking me to transport 20,000 kilograms of fine salt from Haicheng to Yue every year. This way, Yue will not be short of fine salt, and we don't have to spend a lot of money to buy fine salt from other countries. People and livestock will have enough to eat."
"But the salt management in Donglin Kingdom is extremely strict. Fine salt is the hardest to buy, and the supply and sale are limited every quarter."
"Although I know that our Yue Kingdom is a landlocked country with a small land area, a shortage of salt, and no technology to refine salt, if I can get 20,000 kilograms of fine salt back to my country, I will definitely become a great contributor to Yue Kingdom."
"But I don't have any money. How can I get 20,000 kilograms of fine salt? When I first received this task, I was completely dumbfounded."
When Mu Jifeng mentioned this again, he felt angry. He guessed that his father raised him up just to think about how to use him.
He is really pathetic!
Growing up, I had neither the love of my mother nor the care of my father.
Hearing this, Feng Wuhen narrowed his eyes, raised his eyebrows, sneered, and said, "Then how did you get the fine salt and transport it back to Yue?"
"I have to thank the corrupt officials in Haicheng, including Miss Jiang's father Jiang Qinian. I disguised myself as a businessman and bought a large amount of salt from them at a high price. Officials in Haicheng rushed to me to sell salt for their own interests, and sold it to me at a lower price than the other... Later, 20,000 kilograms of fine salt was bought for less than 10,000 taels of silver. After it was shipped back to Yue State, my father was very happy."
"Then how did you become a pirate later?" Jiang Yimo was very curious about this.
"Because I fell in love with the daughter of a high-ranking official, but her parents looked down on my status as a bastard. I thought that if I could get the money and bring more fine salt back to the country, I would be valued by the Emperor of Yue and be given a good position. Then I could marry the woman I liked. However, she was forced to marry by her parents."
Later, the Emperor of Donglin paid more attention to the economy of the fishermen along the coast, and the shipbuilding industry in Haicheng developed rapidly, so I thought of becoming a pirate, which would not only allow me to get money, but also fine salt. "
"People die for money, birds die for food. It took me less than half a year to organize a pirate team. In order to avoid attracting attention, I only became the third in command of the pirates, but all power was in my hands... You should all know what happened later."
After listening to what Mu Jifeng said, I have to admit that he is a very smart man, but it's a pity that he uses it in evil ways.
"Also, I want to ask you, how did you collude with that old woman Ruan Jinyi?"
Jiang Yimo suddenly remembered this and asked.
Jiang Yimo was certain that Mu Jifeng and Ruan Jinyi had something improper going on, otherwise, why would he let Ruan Jinyi appear in that cave to plant the divine butterfly flower.
"Hey! There are some things you don't understand, little girl. A man of my age, in the prime of life, without a woman, if I meet a woman who offers herself to bed, I won't..."
Having said that, Feng Wuhen immediately pressed Mu Jifeng's mute point.
Jiang Yimo immediately frowned in dissatisfaction, "Hey, Evil King, you are really going too far, I haven't even finished listening, and you pressed his mute point."
"You are a little girl, you can't pollute your ears by listening to such dirty words." Feng Wuhen replied.
Because he wanted the heart of the girl he loved to be always clean and not contaminated by those dirty things, but what he didn't know was that Jiang Yimo had already changed her core a long time ago, and it was a core that traveled through time from an open and highly developed era. In modern times, she has lived to the age of 28. Except that she is still a single, she can understand the things between men and women from watching movies. What's more, she is also a doctor and has a clearer understanding of the human body structure and needs.
I will have someone find a place to lock him up first. When I have all the evidence, I will send him to the imperial city and hand him over to the emperor for his fate. Momo, don't you still want to interrogate Ruan Bolin? Come on, I'll go with you."
As they were talking, they walked out of the cabin door and called two guards to take Mu Jifeng away. Then, Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen walked into the cabin where Ruan Bolin was imprisoned.
Ruan Bolin, who was in a dishevel, was sitting against the corner of a table. When he saw Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen walking towards him, he was frightened and quickly moved back to the corner of the cabin. He looked at the two of them with a defensive look on his face, and curled up into a ball.
"Ruan Bolin, there's something I forgot to ask you just now. Who found the Taoist priest who arranged a bad fate for me?" Jiang Yimo asked.
Ruan Bolin was relieved when he saw that Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen did not come in to beat him. As long as they did not beat him and asked him anything, he would tell the truth as long as he knew it.
"Yes, yes, it was my sister who asked me to look for it. It was my sister who asked me to teach the Taoist priest to make up the story of 'Born to bring down his mother, born to be a jinx, and the reincarnation of a man-eating plant'. It was also she who asked the servants to spread the story. Originally, people in Haicheng were not very good at believing in gods, so they were very afraid of hearing this rumor," Ruan Bolin answered with a trembling voice.
"Where is that Taoist priest now?"
Jiang Yimo searched the original owner's memory many times, but couldn't find anyone who had told her about the Taoist priest. Even the wet nurse didn't know who the Taoist priest was who framed the original owner.
It is said that when Ruan Jinyi asked the Taoist priest to perform a ritual, he deliberately sent the original owner's wet nurse to work in a farm in the countryside.
By the time she found out that rumors had spread about the original owner that she had a bad fate, Jiang Qinian had already thrown her into a small courtyard in the back mountain, leaving her to fend for herself.
The wet nurse didn't know who the Taoist priest was or what he looked like.
"He was a Taoist priest at Yuquan Temple. His Taoist name was Jinlun Daoist. Later, I heard that he violated the Taoist rules and was expelled from Yuquan Temple by his master. Three years ago, I heard that he joined the Hundred Ghosts Sect, and then he disappeared."
Ruan Bolin told Jiang Yimo everything he knew truthfully.
"Jinlun Taoist, right? Good! Very good! Ruan Bolin, seeing that you performed well tonight, I will let you go for now. Your Majesty, let's call it a day."
After Jiang Yimo finished speaking, she walked out of the cabin first, followed closely by Feng Wuhen.
Two days later, Jiang Qinian, the prefect of Haicheng who had sent the concubines to the imperial city, came back. After receiving Ruan Bolin's letter, he rushed back without stopping. He even didn't care about the selection of his second daughter, Jiang Yaqi.
When he came back, he saw his home burned by fire and felt a strong sense of sadness and pain in his heart.
He stared at the ruins silently, and the image of the house in its former good condition emerged in his mind, but it could not hide the tragic scene before him.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his heart. He gently stroked the charred ruins, feeling their coldness and hardness. Tears flashed in his eyes, but he tried hard not to let them fall.
He knew that all this had become a reality and could not be changed.
