[System] Former political enemies are all guilty of peach blossoms

When Mei Fu received the secret letter, Mu Yunmen was drafting the content of the salt prohibition law in his study.As the New Year's Eve is approaching, Mu Yunmen and more than [-] people from Mu Mansion have been living in Mei Mansion for some time.

In short, it is to start a short cohabitation life.

In the drafting stage of the ban on salt law, it was relatively closed. Except for the emperor and the chief minister who wanted to consult, Mei Fu and Mu Yunmen basically discussed and worked on it in person.

During the trip to Wu Kingdom a year ago, Mu Yunmen and Mei Fu had already seen the preciousness of Wu Yan, and it had already reached the same value as gold, which was somewhat rare.

Not to mention that the price of Wu salt is getting higher and higher, but all the pricing is decided by Wu Guo.It is absolutely impossible for the emperor to continue to sit and watch a king monopolize such a huge amount of fat and water.

First of all, the Yin Dynasty will prohibit Wu State from continuing to produce private salt, and only select a few experienced salt merchants to produce salt directly in the name of official salt, and the price will be adjusted by the central government. Among them, the king of Wu will benefit from the land rent of tens of millions of acres of salt fields , paid to him by the court.

But compared to the benefits he has benefited from Wu Yan for decades, it is like a drop in the bucket.

Mu Yunmen's thoughts were clear, and when he was writing like a pen, Mei Fu pushed the door in with a serious expression on his face.

"what happened?"

The yellow halo of the candle wick reflected on the jade-colored clothes of Mu Yunmen who was asking the question, bringing him a touch of warmth.But Mei Fu stood outside the dimly lit corridor, the light of the cold moon poured from the top of the man's head, casting a shadow on the uneven eyebrows.

"...Wu Wang may want to rebel."

Mei Fu closed the door and said softly.

Mu Yunmen's heart trembled. Although he had already guessed this possibility, he didn't expect it to happen so suddenly and so fast.

"Wu Guo is investigating the criminal officials' bureau overnight bloodbath, the case can't go on, it can be seen that... the clean official law has seized their lifeblood."

"Is there any reason for the imperial court to send criminals to Wu to investigate?"

Mu Yunmen frowned and asked, Mei Fu shook his head.

"The state of Wu was already in a state of blockade not long ago. No one can enter, and no one can come out from the state of Wu. Only the criminals who were murdered turned into cold corpses and were sent back to the court."

"But before, the troops stationed in Wu State still stayed on the border..."

Mu Yunmen thought of this, it was supposed to be the first deterrent to prevent King Wu from rebelling.

"If the king of Wu doesn't act first, the army can't use random reasons to attack, otherwise it will become an unrighteous army, and the court will lose to the king of Wu in terms of position."

Mei Fu disagreed, Mu Yunmen lowered his head and stared at his drafting, dazed.

"I can only see what Lian Ang found in the investigation, and take advantage of the situation."

Mei Fu sighed softly, and sat on the couch beside Mu Yunmen.

"It seems that this year can't be passed in peace."

The man originally planned to take Muyunmen, Qinghe, and Haoran to a newly discovered hot spring in Longji Mountain.

Children play with children's ,,,,,, can you please your lover, and when the love is strong and romantic, let's see if you can go smoothly?Looking at it now, the situation between the government and the opposition is extremely tense, and they have no choice but to distract themselves from other thoughts.

Not long after, the criminal officials' yamen's investigation of Lian's family was completed, and Tang Ping presented it to the emperor by mistake, which was a surprising result.

The censor doctor is responsible for supervising all officials, assessing prisons, and reviewing the accounting accounts of the imperial court and counties.

However, Lian An turned a blind eye to the officials who benefited him during his decades of being an official, and also made huge profits from them.

What's more, he often has many financial contacts with officials of Wu State. So far, Wu State's criminal officials have been bloodbathed overnight, and it is impossible to find out whether there is any corruption or bribery.

However, according to the accounting audit of the imperial court recorded by the criminal official Yacha Lian'ang, Wu's tax payment is much less than Wu's actual Wu salt income, almost only one-thousandth of the rate is paid to the imperial court.

Although the tax amount is still higher than that of other prefectures, the money actually collected in King Wu's pocket is almost comparable to that of the whole world.

It can be seen that King Wu has a financial income that exceeds the court's expectations every year. After Lian An's false bookkeeping, concealing the truth, and cultivating strength for 20 years!

If you have money, you can turn ghosts around.

Even though the King of Wu has no military power now, with a wave of his hand, as long as he has money, there are many mercenaries and bandits who volunteer for his use!

For Qi Li, Wu Wang and Lian An are no longer thorns in the side, but killers who lie dormant in front of your pillow at night and can seal their throats with a sword at any time!

"This rebellious minister who deceived the king, is there any law for the king?! I ordered that, except for the fifth son Lian Yu, who has made great contributions to Jufa Lianang, the three generations of the Lian family will be executed, and the family will be confiscated! All the officials below will carry out an investigation, and anyone who dares to obstruct my entry into the Wu Kingdom to arrest people and execute them will be bloodbathed by the Imperial Iron Armored Army!"

After reading the memorial, Qi Li was already furious.

He directly ordered Taiwei Wei Fuzhao to send someone to lead an elite light cavalry to accompany the criminals to the country of Wu to arrest people, and the Taiwei organized an army to wait for the king of Wu in Yijun. end!

"The minister takes orders!"

The upright Taiwei, who was born in the army when he was young, has been in the imperial court for almost ten years, and his hands and feet are very itchy. He can't wait to return to the front line of the battlefield and fight bloody battles, even if he smells the tension before the war. It is also a kind of familiarity.

"Mei Youcheng, Mu Zuocheng, complete the drafting of the salt restriction law as soon as possible. I want to cut off the way of Wu Wang Qibai, so as to prevent future troubles!"

Qi Li's long and narrow eyes turned to look at the two prime ministers, aggressive.

"The minister takes orders!"

After Mei Fu and Mu Yunmen listened, they handed over their hands and accepted the order.

In two more days, it will be New Year's Eve, and the second year of Shengyuan is approaching. Qi Li decided to hold a palace banquet in Huazhang Palace to entertain all the officials for their hard work over the past year.

It's just that, because of the official cleansing order and the ban on salt, the palace banquet must be a mediation to ease the atmosphere of killing.

At the palace banquet, except for the departed Taiwei and the unselected doctor Yu Shi, the left and right prime ministers became the focus of everyone's toast.

Mu Yunmen took another wine glass bowed cautiously close to his official, said "Happy New Year", and smiled softly.The official in front of him was a little taken aback, Prime Minister Mu...was he such a good-looking person before?

The dancing girl dances with a light gauze, the jewels and gold hairpins on the temples of the clouds emit a joyful halo under the snowy night, Mu Yunmen's eyes are a little dull, staring at the beautiful woman with red lips, rippling in the cups and toasts, which is more charming than the aroma of wine beauty.

The singing and dancing in Weiyang Palace is peaceful, but who would have thought that iron cavalry clanging and banners flying thousands of miles away?

The peace under the whitewash is after all a bubble of colorful streamers, which will collapse if poked.

Only the real hidden dangers can be completely eliminated...

"Which beauty is so engrossed, why not bring her into Mei's house tonight to enjoy the joy of fish and water?"

Mu Yunmen's gaze stayed on the dancing girl with slender waist and fine hands, while Mei Fu on the side lowered her voice and chuckled, but her tone was thickly threatening.

"You always don't believe me..."

Mu Yunmen has long been used to the old vinegar that Mei Fu broke all the year round, so he said helplessly.

——If you don’t really get someone, you should feel uneasy, right?

Mei Fu swears that he is not a prostitute, he must have a physical relationship to feel true love... It's just that the feeling of being rejected still cannot be eliminated.

Seeing that Mu Yunmen no longer cared about him, and his eyes were still on the singing and dancing performance, Mei Fu drank alone, resenting beside his lover.

Prime Minister You's face was cold and he drank the wine, while Prime Minister Zuo accepted the flattery with a gentle smile, which was also a bright sight in the palace banquet.

The wine was exhausted, and they returned home together in the carriage of Meifu.

When it was about to fall, the snow was rough, which made the wheels roll unsteadily.

Because Mu Yunmen's alcohol capacity was slightly low, and it was already late at night, his whole head was heavy, and he was drowsy as he swayed rhythmically in the carriage.

Mei Fu was sitting next to Mu Yunmen, seeing him nodding and dozing off, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, her eyes doting on her.

"boom!"

In an instant, the roof of their carriage shook violently as if hit by a heavy object!

Mu Yunmen's shoulder slammed into the wall of the carriage, and the severe pain woke him up instantly.

"Ah! Help! Woo!"

The coachman outside the carriage let out a mournful cry for help, and with the last muffled cry, accompanied by the sound of a knife piercing into flesh, bright red blood slowly seeped into the cracks of the carriage...

"Crackling!"

In the next second, a blood-stained cold blade pierced from outside the carriage, directly brushed against Mei Fu's arm, and then slashed across!

Mei Fu flew over to Mu Yunmen and hid in the narrow carriage. He took out the hidden sword in the carriage, followed the direction of the cold blade, and stabbed back!

"Goooo!"

Fortunately, there was also a cry of pain from outside the car, and Mei Fu's hand felt pierced into something.

Don't miss out!

Mu Yunmen judged the location of the killer, took Mei Fu's hand and directly broke through the carriage door and turned over.

He turned his head and saw a man in black nailed to the wall by Mei Fu's backstabbing sword, not deep, but just at the waist.

"boom!"

Mei Fu and Mu Yunmen looked at each other, and without thinking, the two teamed up and overturned the carriage to the ground, completely suppressing the killer who couldn't get away.

The carriage crashed to the ground, accompanied by the killer's roar of anger, and the coachman, whose body was slashed and bloodstained, lay lying on the road, his face stained red by pools of blood.

"Come on!"

Mei Fu's only sword for self-defense pinned the killers, they are now unarmed and can only run wildly to hide their whereabouts.

Mu Yunmen glanced at the coachman, flashed a flash of heartache, and ran wildly with Mei Fu in Weiyang City at night!

Where they are now is in the north of the city from the imperial palace to the Meifu. There are many mansions and the road is wide and flat. They cannot hide, and they will clearly become the target.

Mei Fu and Mu Yunmen decided to run to the closer north gate of the city. There are guards there, and the killer will retreat if he sees it.

The assassin in black who was under the carriage couldn't break free, he rolled out a small whistle from under his tongue, pushed it to his lips and blew it out.

A few seconds later, three more black-clothed killers rushed towards the direction where Mei Fu and Mu Yunmen were escaping, holding cold blades in their hands.

"Hahaha!"

Mei Fu only knows a little self-defense martial arts, and Mu Yunmen is a frail scholar. The two of them rushed to the city gate in the darkness with all their strength, and they could see guards standing beside the torch in the distance, holding guns. .

But the killer behind him was getting closer and closer from a distance.

"Save us!"

Mu Yunmen yelled at the guards not far away. When the two soldiers guarding the gate were also drowsy, they didn't react for a while when the man called for help.

"How come...?"

The big man just yawned, put his hands on the handle of the knife, and looked in the direction of the cry for help. With a sound of "whoosh!", his body froze, and a gun had been pierced between his eyebrows.

"Who?!"

Another guard drew his knife swiftly and also became alert, but from the shadows, another man in black sprang out, strangling the neck of the unsuspecting man with his strong arms.

"Goo!"

Breathing and suffocating, the guard made a final struggle and swung the knife back, but the man in black easily dodged, the sleeve knife in his hand shook out, and he wiped his neck!

The two guards at the gate died before they had time to attract the attention of their companions on the city wall.

Mu Yunmen and Mei Fu stopped walking when they saw the strange shape of the city gate.

The three men in black at the back and the man in black under the door slowly surrounded them, their eyes were filled with scarlet red.

The two stood back to back, and could only helplessly watch the killers slowly approaching.

It seemed that someone wanted the two of them to die.

In front of Mu Yunmen, the man in black has slowly raised his sleeve arrow, aiming at his heart...

"Mei Fu..."

Mu Yunmen felt that his life was not long. Under the cold light of the sword tip, his fingers intertwined with the fingertips of the man behind him and tightened.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Seeing that there is no way to recover, Mu Yunmen closed his eyes and prepared to face death, but four arrows piercing the sky came from the darkness, piercing through the eyebrows of the killers one after another!

"...Why? Woo!!"

Mu Yunmen's face showed surprise, before he realized what was going on, he was caught in a black sack from a dark place and dragged away.
