Chapter 147

In this regard, Yao Doudou has a different view.

"Even if I don't help the old boatman and let him pay 1,500 taels of silver for a small common man, this is not a way for others to live, rather than letting an insatiable villain like Ruan Zhong easily get cheap, it is better to teach him a lesson, as for the future, I will talk about it later."

Yao Doudou poured out the water from the teapot as he spoke, and cleaned the fat powder on his face one by one.

"Xi Niangzi, who are you?"

Without waiting for Lord Shangguan to finish speaking, Yao Doudou smiled slightly.

"Still don't pretend, anyway, I've already let King Zhao see through it. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves, but I want to see how much courage this King Zhao has. ”

Yao Doudou washed his face, and Lord Shangguan sighed lightly again.

Lord Shangguan and the adjutant walked out of Yao Doudou's west room, and the two chatted in the corridor for a while.

"What kind of charm do you say this Xi lady has, so that the kings of Jin, Wu and Zhao will never forget her."

When the adjutant said this, Lord Shangguan was also incompatible.

"If Xi Niangzi really has such charm, wouldn't the old man bring her back to Zhongzhou just to pinch the lifeblood of these three kings?"

The adjutant nodded slightly after listening to Lord Shangguan's words.

"I only hope that the country will not be obsessed with Xi Niangzi by then, otherwise Xi Niangzi will really become a disaster."

The adjutant's concern was not unreasonable, and the envoy shook his head helplessly after listening to the adjutant's words.

Soon it was the Dragon Boat Festival dragon boat rowing day, and King Zhao fulfilled his promise to have fun with the people and built a stand in front of Taiye Lake, which was lined up with seven dragon boats in a colorful manner.

At this time, countless people were surrounded on both sides of Taiye Lake, and everyone wanted to see what kind of difference this year's dragon boat race was, and what they were most looking forward to was the lottery link released by King Zhao.

After Ruan Zhong reported the dragon boat to King Zhao, he turned to the master of ceremonies and gave orders, and the dragon boat race officially began.

"Your Highness, I heard that the seven fleets of this competition are represented by the seven counties under the jurisdiction of Jizhou, but I don't know how you will reward the winning fleet."

Princess Zhao asked curiously while plucking the orange, but King Zhao's eyes always fell on the face of Yao Doudou, who sat down on the left.

"How else can it be rewarded, the winning team can give priority to the lottery, the tax of the red lottery will be halved, and the tax of the green lottery will be doubled."

As soon as King Zhao's words fell, Princess Zhao stuffed a petal of orange into her mouth.

"There are a few red sticks and a few green sticks in that bottle."

Princess Zhao said and stuffed another petal of orange for King Zhao, and King Zhao said it very strangely.

"Guess?"

Princess Zhao saw that King Zhao was so improper, so she patted him on the shoulder again.

"Dead ghost, you won't not let go of a red stick."

When King Zhao saw that Princess Zhao was making fun of it, he couldn't help but sit down again.

"How can this king be the kind of faint master who fools the people, there are red signs, but this king has made it a decision to let the people in your hometown receive this favor, you see how much this king loves you."

As he spoke, King Zhao pinched Princess Zhao's face with his hand again, and Princess Zhao grinned in pain.

Yao Doudou saw that the seven fleets were fighting bravely, and the people on both sides of the strait were also cheering for their hometown teams, thinking that the winning team would definitely be rewarded by King Zhao, so everyone would work so hard, if King Zhao could really sympathize with the suffering of the people, it would also be a wise lord.

Yao Doudou took a sip of the wine cup, not wanting a breeze to blow her veil, King Zhao looked at Yao Doudou's beautiful face under the veil, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva again.

"Your Highness, what is the origin of that celestial maiden, I see that your eyes are going to fall on someone else's body."

Princess Zhao asked a little angrily, and King Zhao didn't whisper a word don't be noisy.

"People are dust fairies, don't talk nonsense."

Princess Zhao saw that King Zhao cared so much about Yao Doudou, and instantly became jealous.

"Fairy, didn't you also call your concubine Fairy Ayaluo before, you men, always like the new and hate the old, and you can't wait to ...... when you see a beautiful woman."

Before Princess Zhao finished speaking, King Zhao stopped talking.

"How can you, a dusty woman, compare with a heavenly maiden."

King Zhao took a sip of the wine glass as he spoke, and Princess Zhao turned her head to the side, hating Yao Doudou in her heart.

The dragon boat race was soon over, and the winning team was Taicang County, whose representatives were full of hope that they would receive a reward from King Zhao, but when they walked up to the stands, they were greeted with a wooden box held by Ruan Zhong.

"Congratulations to all of you for winning your first chance to win the grand prize."

After Ruan Zhong finished speaking, he shook the wooden box a few more times, and the representative who was sweating profusely looked confused.

The representative at the head walked up to Ruan Zhong, and he reached into the wooden box.

When he took his hand out again, there was a five-step snake hanging from it.

"Ouch, my mother."

The representative shouted, then foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground.

Ruan Zhong shook his head slightly.

"If you are unlucky, you will touch a poisonous scorpion, and Taicang County's taxes will be doubled in the coming year."

After Ruan Zhong finished speaking, none of the officials present dared to squeak, and the representative of Taicang County also moved the poisoned person out.

"I'll rub it, why is this King Zhao so vicious."

Yao Doudou got up and went to the outside of the stands, the poisoned representative had already died of poisoning, for the death of the poisoned representative, the other representatives of Taicang County did not make the slightest sorrow and pity, but complained that the dead representative was too stinky, they obviously spent a lot of effort to win the first place, but they didn't want to usher in the reward instead, but thought that it would be to double the tax point punishment in the coming year, so that those representatives directly threw the poisoned representative outside, and let his body be exposed in public.

When Yao Doudou saw this, she was instantly furious, and when she turned around to question Yao and King Zhao, the adjutant grabbed her arm and told her not to do much.

Yao Doudou returned to his seat, and King Zhao raised his glass to drink again.

"Your Highness, the representative who just drew the lottery went out and died of poison, is this your benefit?"

Yao Doudou asked curiously, while King Zhao frowned.

"Ruan Zhong, what's going on, how can you draw a red and green lot, and you will die."

In response to King Zhao's questioning, Ruan Zhong turned around and smiled slightly.

"Back to His Royal Highness, this single lottery is boring, Your Majesty is not also to enliven the atmosphere, add a little excitement, you must know that the major event of drawing taxes in a county in the coming year can not be a little child's play, this lottery person is a great responsibility, related to the life and death of the people of a county, so His Majesty made his own decision to change the ordinary red and green lottery to life and death."
