“Mmm, hurry ... sell my dowry to solve this urgent matter. I will redeem this money later.” Lin Chujiu said with a dignified look in the face, but Fecui and the other three maidservants knew that Lin Chujiu has long been wanting to get rid of her dowry. So now that there was an opportunity to deal with it, how will Lin Chujiu let it pass?
Besides, if she sold her dowry instead of using Xiao Wangfu’s money, the outsiders will think that Xiao Tianyao was clean and honest. He couldn’t take out 200,000 silvers.
Housekeeper Cao was not stupid. He understood Lin Chujiu’s intentions, but even if he understood, he was still reluctant to sell Lin Chujiu’s dowry. Housekeeper Cao wanted to persuade Lin Chujiu, but Feicui whispered to him: “Housekeeper Cao, just listen to wangfei. She must have reason to do this.”
After talking, two of Lin Chujiu’s maidservants volunteered to help Housekeeper Cao: “Wangfei, this slave will accompany Housekeeper Cao to check your dowry.”
“Go.” Lin Chujiu has nothing to worry about now that Feicui and Zhenzhu went together.
When the official, who brought the imperial decree, saw Xiao Wangfu’s people will check the dowry, instead of their Xiao Wangfu’s money, he was dumbfounded: “Xiao Wangfei, it’s just a fined, you don’t need to sell your dowry.” If the outsiders learn that the emperor ordered to fined Xiao Wangfu’s silver, which forced Xiao Wangfei to sell her dowry, what will they think of the emperor?
He was only a small official doing his job. Can he stop it?
“What do you mean I don’t need to sell my dowry?” Lin Chujiu looked at the Official with a puzzled look: “Didn’t you tell me to pay the 200,000 fines on the imperial edict?” If the other party dares to say to her not to pay, she will fight with them.
Doesn’t need to pay the fine, then doesn’t it mean they didn’t do anything wrong?
That’s right, what else is there to say!
“No, no, of course, you have to pay it. It’s a punishment for Xiao Wangye for inducing the merchants to increase the price of food and cause people to lose money.” The Official repeatedly emphasized Xiao Tianyao’s crime, but Lin Chujiu acted like she didn’t hear anything. She said: “Wangye didn’t induce those merchants to raise the price, everything that happened was just spontaneous behavior of those unscrupulous merchants. As for the 200,000 fines that are written in the imperial edict, we can only treat as a request.”
It was those businessmen who decided to increase the price, but the emperor didn’t ask them to spit out their profits. Instead, he used it to look for trouble for Xiao Tianyao. The emperor was simply shameless.
“Xiao Wangfei, the truth of this matter is now in front of you, regardless of what you say.” The Official was annoyed when he saw Lin Chujiu was hard to convince.
Why is it troublesome to send the imperial edict?
No wonder no palace official came forward to send out the imperial decree once they heard it was for Xiao Wangfu. If he didn’t step forward, this unlucky errand will not fall to his head.
“What Daren said is true, the truth is in front of us, no one can distort the truth after saying a few words.” Lin Chujiu followed along with this sentence, but then she added: “Wangye is in the front line. He is fighting to protect the East Country, while you only worry about this thing in the capital. Those merchants earned a lot more money compared to Wangye and his men, but you accuse him like he was working with those merchants. So what exactly does this have to do with Wangye? I don’t know how much those merchants earn this time. Are you sure a mere 200,000 silvers can make up to the loss of the people?”
“Xiao Wangfei, I don’t know what you talking about, this small official can’t understand.” The Official was sweating all over his head. At this time, he was still being arrogant.
Although it hasn’t been long since he entered the official dome, he has a clear understanding of people in the capital. He knew that Xiao Wangfei was a troublemaker, he doesn’t want to... ...
