The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

Su Jingning's carriage drove all the way into Shenwu Street and stopped in front of Fengting Tower.

She put on a white veiled hat and got off the carriage with Su Jingyi.

"She is in Fengting Tower Teahouse?" Su Jingyi asked puzzledly.

"Well, Senior Sister has been here recently."

Su Jingning nodded and walked in.

As soon as she entered, someone came to guide her. Su Jingning said something to him, and the servant took her and Su Jingyi to the third floor.

Su Jingyi raised his eyebrows and followed, the third floor. Those who can go to the third floor of Fengting Building must be extremely powerful and wealthy. The female devil is really rich.

"This is it."

The servant took them to a private room on the third floor called "Moshuge" and then left.

Su Jingning pushed the door open and went in.

There were several people sitting in the room. Ye Ling was leaning against a soft couch, holding a white jade wine pot in her hand, and enjoying the male musicians playing the guqin nearby. On the other side of her sat Yue Xun, who had a smile on his face.

Yue Xun was slightly startled when he saw someone coming in, then waved his hand to ask the musicians to stop.

"Senior Sister." Su Jingning took off the veil.

When Ye Ling saw that it was Su Jingning coming, he quickly put down the wine jug in his hand, stood up and rushed towards her, as if he didn't see Su Jingyi behind her.

"Why are you here, Xiao Qi? Are you missing your senior sister?" She was drunk and pinched Su Jingning's round face. A smell of alcohol hit her face.

Su Jingning leaned back slightly to avoid the smell of alcohol, leaned forward and dodged from her hand.

Then he pushed Su Jingyi forward and hid behind him.

"Senior sister, my fourth brother is looking for you!"

Ye Ling then glanced at Su Jingyi, his eyes were drunken and a little more charming: "Oh, the young master is looking for me?"

She reached out and lifted Su Jingyi's chin, and asked in a frivolous tone.

Su Jingyi looked at her charming eyes, his body stiffened, and he was a little stunned. It took him a while to come to his senses.

With a "smack", he slapped her hand away.

"I'll return the token to you, and the antidote!"

Ye Ling seemed to be more sober and stopped smiling.

"Antidote? What antidote? Did I poison you?" She tilted her head and looked at Su Jingyi with a teasing look in her eyes.

Su Jingyi just remembered that he had just taken the antidote given by Su Jingning.

"I'll return the token to you!" He still had a stern expression as he handed over the token.

Ye Ling glanced at him, then lowered his eyes to look at the token.

After a long time, he reached out and took it.

"Mr. Su Si, my poison can soothe bones and open up the meridians. It is extremely valuable. It would be a waste to use it on you." She sighed, seeming to feel a little regretful.

"Then I really have to thank Lord Ye. But please don't waste it on me again." Su Jingyi curled his lips and sneered.

Ye Ling didn't care and turned over and lay down on the couch again.

"The Luofuchun in Fengting Tower is quite good. Would you like to try it, Mr. Su?"

Su Jingyi glanced behind him and saw that Su Jingning and the owner of Fengting Tower had slipped away at some point. He didn't want to pay any attention to her and turned around to leave.

But when he saw the handsome musicians standing beside him, he suddenly felt unhappy. He paused, then turned around and sat down.

"Okay, I haven't tried the famous wine from Fengting Tower yet."

A smile flashed in Yue Xun's eyes, and he stood up and poured him a glass.

"It's inferior to what this valley owner brews, but it's still edible."

Qingzhuyuan

"Yuexun, does Fengting Tower have any business in Youzhou and Yaozhou in the southern border?" Su Jingning lowered his eyes and flipped through an account book of the southern border. Not seeing that Yaozhou was not included, he asked Yuexun.

"Yaozhou opened a branch building and two silver shops last year, but Youzhou is poor and has little business, so they only opened a small building this year. Why do you ask this, young lady?"

As Yue Xun spoke, she poured a bowl of sweet soup to drive away the cold from the ceramic cup on the stove and handed it to Su Jingning.

"It's autumn now, and the weather has become much colder. Miss, drink this to ward off the cold."

Su Jingning took the sweet soup and took a sip. He squinted his eyes in satisfaction. It was indeed the familiar taste.

"There are two silver shops in Yaozhou..." Su Jingning thought of what Lu Zhifan said. The official silver privately minted by the Shen family might have been listed through the silver shops in Yaozhou. Then the counterfeit silver on the market in Yaozhou must be the most.

The Shen family was cautious, and the counterfeit silver they made was almost impossible to find in the market of the Imperial Capital. Therefore, the only place where a large amount of counterfeit silver could be found was Yaozhou.

"An Xia hasn't come yet?" Su Jingning put down the account book in his hand, leaned towards the door and asked.

"Coming." Yue Xun looked towards the door.

Sure enough, a neat woman in dark blue casual clothes pushed the door open and came in.

"girl."

She bowed and saluted Su Jingning.

"Why are you late? Maybe something happened on the way."

Yue Xun asked her.

An Xia nodded: "On the way here, I met Prince Chen and Shen Feng, as well as Yu Xiao, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. They were in a hurry, which was a bit strange, so I followed them for a while, which delayed me for some time. However, Shen Feng was very cautious, so I followed him for a while and then they left me behind."

"Prince Chen has returned to the capital?" Su Jingning asked with a frown. Didn't he go to Anzhou to treat the flood?

"Well, he probably came back because he heard that the Queen Mother was assassinated. However, the Prince of Chen made contributions in flood relief in Anzhou this time, so he should be able to resume his post in a few days." An Xia said.

"In the past few months, I have been following Miss' instructions to investigate the clues of the Shen family's private minting of counterfeit silver in Laoshan. I found that there is almost no counterfeit silver from the Shen family in the Imperial Capital, but some traces can still be found in the prefectures and towns near the Imperial Capital. I followed the counterfeit silver and investigated for a month. Finally, I found that in addition to coming from Laoshan, some of the counterfeit silver came from Yaozhou in the southern border. The Shen family should have another place in Yaozhou to mint counterfeit silver."

An Xia took out two silver coins from the bag on her waist and handed them to Su Jingning. "These two are counterfeit silver coins. They are made by the Ministry of Revenue."

"If you don't look carefully, you can't tell the difference between these silver coins. But if you look closely, you can see that the silver coins from Laoshan are a few shades darker than the official silver. This is because the silver used in the official silver is produced in the southern border, and its texture is cleaner than that of the silver mines in Laoshan. The counterfeit silver from Yaozhou looks almost exactly like the official silver, but if you burn it, you can tell the difference. The counterfeit silver from Yaozhou will be darker than ordinary silver coins after burning. It should be because lead and tin were mixed into the silver when it was made."

Su Jingning looked at the silver coins and then looked at An Xia.

"They can allow so much counterfeit silver to flow into the market, yet they can control the flow of silver and money in the imperial capital... Is the person from the Shen family in the Ministry of Revenue the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?

An Xia nodded and frowned slightly: "I originally thought it would be the Minister of Revenue, but I checked his relationship with the Shen family and found that he had cut off contact with the Duke of Qing since the Wushao case. Only this Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has a close relationship with the Duke of Qing's son Shen Feng in private, but he is very cautious. I followed him several times, but was dumped every time, and there was no progress."

Su Jingning lowered his eyes and looked at his subordinates' account books, quickly searching for something.

Yaozhou, she remembered that Fengting Tower had silver exchange transactions with a silver shop in the four continents of You, Yao, Duo and Yi in the southern border.
