"Back to my lord, now that I have been caught, I am being held in prison."

Hearing what Master said, Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. If Mao Liu fell into the hands of the imperial court, they wouldn't have to think of any strategies and could just hang themselves.

"Have you asked me clearly? Why on earth did he send the private salt dealer to the capital? Why is he so worried about his long life!"

The master felt helpless when talking about this matter, "According to Mao Liu's account, he went to the capital because the distance outside the customs in the northwest was too far, and the people there were so poor that private salt could not be sold at a high price, so he went to the capital."

After all, the living standards of the people in the capital are much better than those in the northwest and outside the customs.

"Short-sighted! You bastard!" Liu Yuan was furious after hearing this, "Just let people drag him down, beat him to death with sticks, and throw him into a mass grave to feed the dogs!"

Keeping it is also a scourge, it is better to deal with it early to save having to involve them later.

The master looked troubled and said, "Sir, Mao Liu cannot be killed yet."

Liu Yuan turned to look at the master, "Can't kill, why?"

"Mao Liu said that he has something against us. If we kill him, then..." Master hesitated and looked at Liu Yuan.

Who knew that Mao Liu had such a skill?

Liu Yuan closed his eyes, "That's all, lock him up first and wait until the storm has passed.

Inform the people below that there will be no more transactions in the near future, and those who have taken the goods before should also stop for a while."

"Yes, my lord is wise, and I am humble enough to give you orders now."

"Go ahead."

…

At this time, Si Yunlan had also received Si Ning.

"Cousin." Si Ning smiled and held his hand.

Si Yunlan was also very happy to see Si Ning, "Why did you want to come to Yinchuan to find me?"

Just as Si Ning was about to speak, Si Yunlan spoke first, "Don't say it's just to see me. I don't know that you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Si Ning smiled flatteringly, "There is indeed something wrong."

Since she came to Yinchuan under the pretext of seeing Si Yunlan, she would definitely not be able to do something under his nose without letting him discover it. She didn't think she had that ability.

So she didn't intend to hide it from him in the first place.

Si Yunlan took Si Ning into the inner hall of the backyard. After Si Yunlan sat down, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Si Ning, "Okay, let's talk about it. Why did you come all the way to Yinchuan?

My uncle said that you are here for the man named Li Su, is that not true?"

It has been two years since Si Yunlan was released to Yinchuan. Si Ning started chasing Li Su last year, so he didn't know how Si Ning stalked Li Su.

But he knew Li Su, who was a scheming person, and it was not something that a little girl like Si Ning could control.

"Hey? Why do you say that? I already told you that I don't like Li Su anymore. I came to Yinchuan this time for business." Si Ning frowned and said.

"Okay, then tell me about your business." Si Yunlan is only three years older than Si Ning. He often played with Si Ning when he was a child, and he didn't know what her temperament was.

Si Yunlan obviously didn't believe Si Ning's words. He didn't understand her yet. Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, what else could she do?

Si Ning was so angry at Si Yunlan's attitude, "I'm scared to death if I say it."

As he spoke, Si Ning whispered a few words into Si Yunlan's ear. Si Yunlan was careless at first. After listening, he looked at Si Ning seriously and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, is this still false?"

Si Ning was self-aware, but she did not think that she could investigate the troubles in the construction of fortifications on her own, so she naturally had to find an ally.

"The matter is of great importance at this time, so I should report it to Your Majesty."

The Yellow River passes through Yinchuan. Si Yunlan has been the county magistrate in Yinchuan for two years, so he naturally knows what the Yellow River dams mean to the people along the Yellow River.

Their county government also conducts daily patrols on the Yellow River embankment, especially during the critical periods of flood control and flood prevention.

If what Si Ning said is true, and someone embezzled the imperial court's construction funds and passed it off as inferior, then we must report it to His Majesty as soon as possible and stop the loss in time.

"The key is that there is no evidence." Si Ning curled her lips secretly. If there was evidence, she would not have to come to Yinchuan in person.

Si Yunlan: "Then how did you know?"

Si Ning heard him ask this and thought to herself that luckily she had already thought of a countermeasure on the way here.

"The last time I entered the palace, I overheard it on the way to the Qinzheng Hall to find the emperor's uncle."

Si Yunlan looked at Si Ning, "Then why didn't you tell His Majesty directly?"

"What if I heard wrong about such a big matter? I don't have any evidence, so I wanted to come to Yinchuan to investigate. It will also save my father and my mother-in-law. They always say that I am not doing business properly." Si Ningyi

said with a pout.

"You -" Si Yunlan shook his head helplessly, it was something she could do.

"This matter is of great importance. You must not act rashly. Lin Jingdan is leading people to build a dam outside Yinchuan. I will send people to investigate secretly." Si Yunlan said.

"Ah? Why? I want to go too." Si Ning didn't really intend to come to Yinchuan.

"Be obedient." Si Yunlan said seriously, "If things are really as you said, taking action rashly will only put yourself in a dangerous situation. If something happens to you, my uncle and aunt will go crazy.

"

Looking at Si Yunlan's serious look, Si Ning also knew that he would not agree to his involvement, "Okay, I understand."

After Si Ning finished speaking, a cunning light flashed in his eyes. Anyway, he could investigate in secret, as long as he didn't let him know.

Si Yunlan knew what she was thinking as soon as he saw her like this. That's all, he would just arrange for more people to watch her when the time comes.

"You must have had a hard time traveling all the way. I have already arranged a room for you.

Let Wu Ma take you there later. You have a good rest first, and I will take you out to a restaurant in the evening."

Si Ning: "Okay, then hurry up and arrange for someone to keep an eye on Lin Jingdan, and you must find evidence of corruption."

"Okay, I understand, you should have a good rest first."

Si Yunlan left the backyard and went to the Yamen. This matter was indeed of great importance. Someone had to be sent out to investigate as soon as possible.

This matter needs to be investigated as soon as possible, otherwise that little girl Si Ning will not know what trouble she will cause.

…

Lin Jingdan, who was supervising the dam construction in Yinchuan section, suddenly felt a chill on his back and felt that something was wrong.

"My lord, my lord——"

A man in green official uniform ran from a distance, "Sir, sir, it's not good!"

Lin Jingdan frowned when he heard this. When the man walked in, he scolded him and said, "I'm fine, sir. Why are you so frivolous?"
