Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 223 Finding Helpers

This is a kind of talent, a talent that outsiders cannot learn no matter how hard they try.

Rong Sheng nodded: "Yes, eight years ago, in the back mountain of Yanjiao. It happened to be the time when the Rong family had an accident."

The Rong family is not in Kyoto, but they are also a well-known salt merchant in the Yanjiao area.

Compared with the Ling family and the Wang family, the Rong family may not be as powerful, but it is powerful enough to influence the surrounding areas.

When the Rong family was around, they could still contain the Ling family and the Wang family, because the people of the Rong family were not so greedy and they knew the importance of salt to the people.

Therefore, the people of the Rong family would not do such a cruel thing.

In this situation, the Rong family dispersed part of the salt, which completely shattered the Ling family and the Wang family's plan to monopolize the salt, so the Ling family and the Wang family took action against the Rong family.

The Rong family suffered a tragic loss, so naturally, all of the Rong family's businesses fell into the hands of the Ling family.

The Ling family and the Wang family are closely connected, and the two families are even intermarried. This coming and going makes their relationship even more unshakable.

At that time, Shen Muyin never thought that he would be involved with the Ling family and the Wang family, so naturally he lost contact with Rong Sheng.

It was this time when Shen Muyin encountered this incident that he thought of Rong Sheng.

Thinking of this, Shen Muyin calmed down, looked at Rong Sheng with a smile, and did not interrupt him, allowing Rong Sheng to continue speaking.

"If there had been no Miss Shen back then, I'm afraid Rong Sheng would not be here now." Rong Sheng was very emotional.

"How have you been these years?" Shen Muyin asked with a smile.

"It's okay. Everything is developing in the direction I want." Rong Sheng was very frank.

Rong Sheng then paused for a moment and looked at Shen Muyin: "How did Miss Shen get involved with the Shen family?"

"I am a member of the Shen family, but compared to the people of the Shen family in Kyoto, I have always been exiled to Yanjiao and lived with my adoptive father." Shen Muyin was frank.

There is nothing to hide. After all, everyone in Kyoto knows that the eldest daughter of the Shen family has just returned not long ago and was not in Kyoto before.

And the only lady acknowledged by the Shen family is Shen Zhenzhen.

"Your adoptive father should be much better than the Shen family." Rong Sheng was very direct.

Shen Muyin smiled: "Yes, my adoptive parents are naturally the best parents in the world."

Rong Sheng nodded and looked at Shen Muyin seriously: "Miss Shen, you came to me today, but you want me to find evidence of the Ling and Wang families selling salt?"

Rong Sheng spoke directly and straightforwardly, without even trying to hide anything.

In this case, Shen Muyin was naturally generous and nodded: "Yes, this is my original intention. But the premise is that you cannot be implicated. I know you have your own ideas and purposes, so I must first ensure that you are safe."

"Over the years, I have been working hard in the Ling family, and naturally I have collected some evidence. But the Ling and Wang families are both extremely cautious people, and they have people behind the scenes, so they have been able to escape these things innocently many times over the years." Rong Sheng spoke quietly.

These statements are similar to what Shen Muyin speculated.

So in this situation, Shen Muyin was very calm and just waited patiently for Rong Sheng to finish speaking.

"The evidence in my hand is as solid as a mountain. Over the years, I have been a manager in the Ling family. So many accounts are handled by me. The Ling family has been hoarding salt in Kyoto for a long time, and I can tell you their location accurately, so Miss Shen can be caught red-handed. However, if Miss Shen does not have absolute power to intervene, I am afraid of backlash." Rong Sheng looked at Shen Muyin solemnly.

Shen Muyin lowered his head and took a sip of tea, very quiet.

"As a result of the backlash, the Ling family will naturally know that I did it, and then all my efforts over the years will be in vain, and I may even be implicated, not to mention revenge for the Ling family." Rong Sheng said bluntly, "I have been in the Ling family for many years, and my purpose is nothing more than this. Miss Shen should be very clear about this. After all, Miss Shen is one of the few people who knows about my affairs."

"Yeah." Shen Muyin responded lightly, and she continued to drink tea quietly with her head down.

Rong Sheng didn't mind and continued, "In addition, Miss Shen should be very clear that the people implicated are not just me, but also Miss Shen. I have always known the methods of the Ling family and the Wang family. They are cruel and ruthless."

If it weren't for cruelty, the Ling family and the Wang family wouldn't have come to this point.

They will not leave any room for their opponents.

Therefore, Rong Sheng said these words in the hope that Shen Muyin would think twice before acting, and not mobilize a large force based on just this little evidence.

Rong Sheng did not mean to threaten or intimidate anyone, but instead told Shen Muyin everything he was thinking and knew.

Then Rong Sheng didn't say anything, just looked at Shen Muyin calmly, and put the choice in front of Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin didn't look at Rong Sheng until she finished the tea in her hand. "Of course I know everything you said. But if you want to do this, you must be prepared."

"Please speak, Miss Shen." Rong Sheng was still polite.

"Shen Yan is deeply involved with the Ling family and the Wang family, but Shen Yan has never shown up. He should represent the people who control the Ling family and the Wang family. Am I right about this?" Shen Muyin asked Rong Sheng.

Rong Sheng nodded: "That's right. Shen Yan will never show up, everyone knows that, but in this case, there is really no evidence to prove it."

"Okay, then let me ask you again, in this situation, if I implicate Shen Yan and the Ling and Wang families, who do you think this person will abandon in the end?" Shen Muyin continued to ask.

This question stumped Rong Sheng, so he just looked at Shen Muyin passively without saying anything.

Shen Muyin didn't mind and continued to explain: "If I were that person, I would definitely abandon the Ling family and the Wang family. Because the people and things involved with Shen Yan are more complicated. He is not just a trader. If Shen Yan is thoroughly investigated, I am afraid that many disputes can be found. So in this case, as long as you have evidence, then the Ling family and the Wang family will definitely be finished. Both you and I can achieve our goals."

Shen Muyin put the teacup in his hand on the table, and looked at Rong Sheng with a more serious look.

Rong Sheng lowered his head and said quietly: "I can't refute what you said."

"So do you believe me?" Shen Muyin asked Rong Sheng.

Rong was born in Kyoto, so he naturally knew that the eldest daughter of the Shen family was involved with the Eastern Palace, and that the Eastern Palace was obviously on Shen Muyin's side.

But at that time, Rong Sheng did not expect that the eldest daughter of the Shen family was the one who saved him eight years ago.

So in this situation, Rong Sheng also knew that he had to trust Shen Muyin.

"I believe what Miss Shen says." Rong Sheng responded.

Shen Muyin nodded: "If you trust me, I will definitely protect you. Even if something goes wrong in the end, I will protect you and will not let you lose your life."
