Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 215 Guiding the East Palace

It seemed that his loss of control only happened to Shen Muyin.

After a moment of silence, Dong Gong didn't say anything and changed the subject: "You want Xiao Jiu to leave?"

"Yes. Xiaojiu's disguise skills are the best in the world. I can borrow him to use and find evidence." Shen Muyin was very calm.

She and Shen Yan are now in a state of constant competition, trying to see who will take the initiative first.

Shen Muyin knew very well that Shen Yan had escaped in his previous life. The Eastern Palace also investigated the matter of this salt merchant in the previous life, but it was not as precise as it is now.

In this life, Shen Muyin still has to continue.

One reason was to cut off that man's left and right arms, and the other was that Shen Muyin wanted to know how Shen Yan managed to escape.

So, by following the clues, can we find the person behind Shen Yan?

Just like at the beginning, she sent Shen Zhenzhen to the Tianlao, betting that this person would save Shen Zhenzhen.

She won the bet, and she was only one step away from seeing this person's face.

Thinking of this, Shen Muyin was slightly depressed, but did not show his thoughts on his face.

"Those salt dealers you mentioned are indeed problematic." Donggong nodded, but did not delve into it. "After the salt is sold out, it will be gathered at the dock and sent away from the dock."

There is no waterway to Kyoto, so naturally you have to leave by land, then go to the pier and leave Kyoto.

"But how are you going to find evidence?" Dong Gong asked Shen Muyin, his eyes becoming much sharper.

Shen Muyin stopped joking and became serious, turning on the East Palace without any evasive look in his eyes.

In this situation, when there was a noise outside the Wenxiang Pavilion, Donggong looked calm, but there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Shen Muyin, on the contrary, seemed calm, and this calmness surprised Donggong a little, but on the surface, Donggong remained calm.

He watched Shen Muyin walk towards the window, and a carrier pigeon landed steadily in Shen Muyin's hands.

Shen Muyin took the note from the pigeon's mailbox and released the pigeon.

After Shen Muyin finished reading the contents of the note, he turned and looked towards the East Palace.

"You are really amazing." Donggong said bluntly.

"It's better to be prepared. But two days ago, people from the Shen family were watching me, and the carrier pigeon couldn't get in. But this carrier pigeon understands human nature and knows when it is safe and when it is not." Shen Muyin explained.

But she did not hesitate, and quickly continued: "But now, come to work."

"What are you going to do?" Dong Gong raised his eyebrows and remained calm.

"Qiao Sheng found out that when the city gates were strictly checked before, the salt merchants could not send the salt out, so they went out through the canals. Now I just need the East Palace to give the order to tighten the city gates. These people can't even use the canals, which will naturally lure the snake out of its hole." Shen Muyin finished his words calmly.

The canal was the last resort for them.

After cutting off the source, Shen Yan and the people from these two or three major families had no way to transport the salt out of Kyoto, so they naturally had to take risks.

Shen Yan must have an insider at the city gate. As long as someone moves, they will wait and catch the person easily.

Shen Muyin calmed down and said, "There is an insider at the city gate."

"Who is it?" Donggong asked.

The emperor's palace is deep in the East Palace, and he usually stays in the Xiangshan Villa. Sometimes, even if he is well-informed about the news in Kyoto, it is impossible to know everything.

After all, an imperial palace supports so many people, how could the Eastern Palace possibly know about everyone? If that were the case, the Eastern Palace would have to do nothing but study these people every day.

"Not sure." Shen Muyin was very calm, but did not hide it. "I suspect it was Shen Yan, but I have no evidence. But Shen Yan is definitely not the man behind the scenes. Now that all their escape routes have been cut off, this person will definitely be anxious. Shen Yan will definitely take the initiative to contact the insider, and we will catch him red-handed. These families will not be able to escape. As for the man behind the scenes, we bet that he is willing to protect himself and cannot be abandoned. If the bet is right, we will all be happy. If the bet is wrong, we will not lose anything. At least these families will be executed."

Shen Muyin's words were cruel and direct, and the look he gave Dong Gong was even more serious.

"If you force the other party into a desperate situation, he will eventually come out. It's just a matter of time." Shen Muyin continued slowly, "And Xiaojiu's disguise is nothing more than catching Shen Yan. I also want to know how Shen Yan is going to get away this time."

"Aren't you afraid of getting burned?" Dong Gong looked at Shen Muyin with interest. "Don't forget, you are still a member of the Shen family. If you want to punish your entire clan, you can't escape."

"Aren't you and I in the same boat?" Shen Muyin smiled, without showing any fear at all.

Donggong was so angry that he laughed, but he couldn't do anything about Shen Muyin.

However, the look in Donggong's eyes when he looked at Shen Muyin was filled with admiration and joy. It was a kind of doting, and even more of pride.

Shen Muyin did not continue to argue with Donggong about this issue and quickly changed the subject.

When she looked at the East Palace, her eyes seemed a little serious: "Is Princess Xuanhe going to get married?"

Dong Gong was stunned for a moment. He asked without thinking, "Who told you this? How come I don't know?"

No matter what, Xuan Sujin is the cousin of the Eastern Palace and a princess of the State of Yan.

How could the Eastern Palace not know that she was going to get married?

"My father and Prince Xuan have urged us several times, but the one who is not in a hurry is Su Jin. Su Jin is almost 17 now. She is a little older than you. They should get married. But my father has not announced this in the paddock. And I haven't heard any news recently."

Donggong did not hide anything and told Shen Muyin the whole story.

Shen Muyin lowered his brows, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Why are you asking about this suddenly?" Donggong couldn't help but be curious.

Knowing Shen Muyin, there is no reason for it. Shen Muyin would not be so bored as to care when Princess Xuanhe will get married.

Shen Muyin looked at Donggong steadily: "The prince consort came to the embroidery room to place an order for embroidering wedding gowns, but I refused."

"Why?" Qin Chuyan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Although Nangong Sheng does not hold an important position in the court, he is responsible for the revenue of Prince Xuan's Mansion and is not short of money. As long as it is related to Su Jin, Nangong Sheng has always been very generous. You can ask him for a good price. If Su Jin likes it, he will do anything for her."

Qin Chuyan explained it clearly.

This doesn't quite fit Shen Muyin's personality.

Shen Muyin loves money and is short of money. It is impossible for Shen Muyin to refuse such a big order.

What's more, it's a wedding dress, which naturally costs a lot of money.

That's why Qin Chuyan was curious. He just looked at Shen Muyin, waiting for Shen Muyin to give him an answer.
