Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 202 Secret Deployment

Shen Muyin did not hide anything from Butler Wang and made his thoughts clear.

Butler Wang now looked at Shen Muyin, as if he suddenly realized something.

"Miss, what do you suspect about Lord Nangong?" Butler Wang responded calmly, "This way I have a direction."

"I can't explain it. He's so perfect that I can't find any flaws." Shen Muyin said calmly.

It is for this reason that Shen Muyin wanted to explore it.

"I will do my best." Butler Wang nodded in agreement.

"But in this matter, your safety must be guaranteed. If there is any danger, then give up. I will think of other ways." Shen Muyin whispered.

"I know, don't worry." Butler Wang was very cautious.

After all, it involves Prince Xuan's Mansion, and Prince Xuan's Mansion is undoubtedly one of the two largest families in Yan State.

If there is any mistake, the person will lose his head and his entire family will be implicated.

So Butler Wang is clear about this principle.

Shen Muyin didn't say much. She absolutely trusted Butler Wang and knew that Butler Wang would do a good job.

In this situation, Shen Muyin didn't say anything. He leaned on the couch and closed his eyes to rest until Dong Jin came back.

"Miss, there is news." Dong Jin said directly.

Shen Muyin opened his eyes and looked at Dong Jin. Dong Jin did not hesitate: "The man in gray linen clothes went to various salt merchants in Kyoto. The oral instructions he brought were all from Shen Yan."

Dong Jin was still a little angry as he spoke: "This Shen Yan is really guilty. He knew that salt dealers were related to the people, but he still did such a thing!"

Dong Jin told Shen Muyin what he had discovered.

This servant used Shen Yan's token, otherwise why would these salt merchants obey his orders.

He was following Shen Yan's orders to ask all the salt dealers to make preparations. The guards at the city gates had been lax recently, so the salt should be sent out of Kyoto as soon as possible so that there would not be a grain of salt left in Kyoto.

And this man almost took over all the salt merchants in Kyoto.

By the time Dong Jin came back, he had almost left.

"There must be someone behind this bastard Shen Yan. He can't do anything to these salt merchants." Dong Jin understood immediately, "We can't miss a single person like him. Should I go back and report to His Highness?"

There is nothing wrong with Dong Jin's idea. With the intervention of the Eastern Palace, many things will become much easier.

But Shen Muyin didn’t think so.

"We can't look for the Eastern Palace." Shen Muyin said directly.

"Why?" Dong Jin looked puzzled. "With one order from His Highness, Shen Yan has nowhere to hide. If we catch him and let Lord Lu torture him, won't everything come out?"

"You think it's simple." Shen Muyin said calmly, "Shen Yan is always cautious. Believe it or not, if you do what you said, Shen Yan will not only be acquitted in the end, but you can also put a pot of blame on Donggong, and make the people behind Shen Yan more cautious, so it will be even more difficult for you to find him."

"Then what should we do? We can't just leave it like this..." Dong Jin was a little confused.

"This person must be hiding very deeply, and he will never let Shen Yan have any relationship with him. So if you really catch Shen Yan, Shen Yan cannot be released without guilt, then Shen Yan will be a discarded pawn. He will die before he can reveal who this person is. So our target now is not Shen Yan." Shen Muyin responded solemnly.

"The largest salt dealers in Yan State have all taken root in Kyoto. These people threaten the lifeline of Yan State, and when the East Palace intervened, it was too late and they could not take the initiative in salt. Therefore, the best strategy now is to disintegrate these families. If we can capture Shen Yan in this way, it will be a pleasant surprise. If we get the target wrong, then everything will be reversed." Shen Muyin explained.

Yes, even if Shen Yan can’t escape now, so what?

If these salt merchants escape and join hands with the people behind the scenes, I'm afraid they will become more aggressive.

In this situation, the common people were the ones who ended up in trouble, and then the Qin family was implicated, which made the situation out of control.

And that person, Shen Muyin thought, must be getting restless now, after all, he had failed many times.

Shen Muyin wanted to know even more, if his left and right arms were killed by him, this man would still be safe and sound when he was behind the scenes.

So in a sense, Shen Muyin was provoking the other party.

"Miss, now that you put it that way, I understand." Dong Jin couldn't help but give Shen Muyin a thumbs up.

Compared to other women, Shen Muyin seemed to be particularly good at planning and strategizing. And in this respect, Shen Muyin was very similar to His Highness.

It’s like Donggong now allows people to misunderstand him, but always does things in an orderly manner.

At this pace, everything the East Palace wants to do will eventually achieve its goal.

"Pretty smart." Shen Muyin smiled, and then she quickly calmed down, "Can you disguise yourself?"

"No one can beat Lao Jiu in disguise." Dong Jin did not hide it, "It's just that Lao Jiu's temper is a bit weird, and he only listens to the orders of His Highness. But if it's the eldest lady, I think Xiao Jiu will listen. I can go back to the East Palace to look for Lao Jiu."

Xiaojiu is naturally also a secret guard of the Eastern Palace. He is the ninth person brought back by the Eastern Palace, so he is called Xiaojiu.

The East Palace was too lazy to name them, so they either chose their own names or named them in order.

Dong Jin just happened to like the name Dong Jin, so he kept calling him that.

Xiaojiu's disguise skills are invincible in Yan State. As for how Donggong found Xiaojiu, no one knows.

Xiaojiu is a taciturn person who hardly says a word on weekdays. People who don’t know him think he is a mute.

In this situation, it is indeed difficult to call Xiaojiu.

"But, Miss, what are you going to do?" Dong Jin asked carefully.

"Detain Shen Yan's servant and have someone disguise himself as this servant, so that we can find evidence. Otherwise, just follow him. Even if you know what he does, you still won't have evidence." Shen Muyin said calmly.

Dong Jin suddenly realized: "It's a good idea. No one has ever used Lao Jiu's disguise to do such a thing. I will arrange this matter later and make sure it is done quietly. As for this dog slave, let those people in the East Palace interrogate him and they will find out the truth. Then Lao Jiu can replace his identity and it won't cause any trouble. And Shen Yan's token is in this person's hands, and he can serve as a witness later. Is this what you mean, Miss?" Dong Jin quickly connected the things together.

Shen Muyin nodded: "Very smart."

Dong Jin shook his head proudly.

Shen Muyin smiled at Dong Jin, glanced at the sky outside, and stood up: "We are going back."

Now that Shen Muyin is still a member of the Shen family, it is naturally impossible for him to move around outside too much to avoid giving the Shen family a reason to cause trouble for him.
