Chapter 1287 (1/2)

Kingdom of Kam, South Vietnam.

”Pavilion master, Cao Xingyu asks for a meeting outside.” Song Jiong walks into the study, looks at murongke, who is studying the nautical chart, and sighs in his heart. He is trying to find Lu Yaoyao again.

Ever since he knew that Lu Yaoyao was taken to sea by Ye Yiqing, murongke has been studying nautical charts almost every day, and has made people start to build ships at any cost.

If it wasn't for the trouble in South Vietnam, he would have left.

Murong Ke heard song Jiong's words, his eyes flashed a bit gloomy, he slowly put away the nautical chart, ”let him in.”

It has been half a year since he was in Nanyue. Murongke has been integrated into the merchants of this place. However, there are still some things that were not clear about that year, so he did not leave.

”Six princes.” Cao Xingyu came in flustered, ”six princes, I heard that the imperial court ordered to seal the port on this side of Nanyue?”

Murong Ke looked at Cao Xingyu, whose face was iron green. It was the first time that he saw such an expression on this crafty face. ”It's not that the port is closed, but the court wants to check the illegal salt. Cao's family doesn't do private salt business. Don't worry. You can go to sea soon.”

Cao Xingyu took a deep breath. For the past six months, he has been on guard against murongke. Although other merchants in South Vietnam have already trusted him, he still dares not let murongke know about him. Who knows whether the governor is worth trusting?

Now it seems that there is no way. If you don't choose to trust murongke once, several ships of his illegal salt will be detained. At that time, his loss will not only be a few ships of illegal salt, but also the whole Cao family.

”Six princes, do you think you can let the Cao family's boat come out first?” Cao Xingyu asked with a smile. Half a year ago, the former governor of South Vietnam was sentenced for his crime. Murong Ke became the new governor. He has been holding a wait-and-see attitude and letting others in the business firm bribe him. If he takes it, it will prove that the previous rumors are false.

There is news from Kyoto that the emperor sent six princes and little prince to South Vietnam to investigate the tax revenue and the cases of that year. Later, because the little prince was injured, he was killed. Then the empress's mother had an accident. Now the emperor has gone out on his own. It seems that he has given up the investigation of Nanyue. Now he has to seal the port to investigate the illegal salt. Who knows what's going on?

Can you believe this murongke?

Murong Ke looked at Cao Xingyu and said, ”Cao is in charge. Are you joking with me? There are so many ships in the port that even sun Jiasheng's can't get out. How can I let your Cao's ship go first? Don't worry, just check it regularly, just for a few days. ”

Sun Jiasheng is still the leader of Nanyue commercial banks. Cao Xingyu has always been operating behind his back. On the surface, sun Jiasheng's position is indeed higher than Cao Xingyu. However, only a few of them know who is the real speaker of Nanyue business.

”Six princes, why did the court suddenly check the illegal salt?” Cao Xingyu asked in a low voice.

Murong Ke looked at Cao Xingyu with a smile, ”Cao is in charge of the family. You are confused. It is often necessary to check the illegal salt. How could it suddenly happen?”

It was Cao Xingyu who bribed Li Jingyao. He was in charge of almost all the port. Naturally, no one went to inspect their Cao family's ships. In the past six months, Cao Xingyu used sun Jiasheng to test him. Murongke had been playing with him for so long. He was too lazy to keep pretending to be confused with Cao Xingyu.

Cao Xingyu's face was even more heavy. He knew that if he didn't speak to the sixth Prince completely this time, he was afraid that His several ships of illegal salt in the port will be exposed. At that time, as long as the sixth prince wants to deal with him, Cao's family will be killed at any time.

Selling illegal salt is a death penalty. What's more, the quantity of his illegal salt is amazing. It's not so easy to fool the past.

”Six princes, we wise people don't speak in secret. Please make an offer.” Cao Xingyu said in a low voice.

Murong Ke picked his eyebrows, ”Cao is in charge. What do you mean by this? What's the price for this

”Lord six, the cargo of those ships in the port is in a hurry to be given to others. If the cargo is delayed for too long, the loss of these ships will be immeasurable.” Cao Xingyu said in a low voice, but in his heart he regretted. How could he be so careless that he thought murongke would not seal up the port and board the ship.
