Chapter 138: Selling Illicit Salt
At this time, she really wanted to pounce and block her aunt's rotten mouth.
King Kening's joke was a joke, but it made the three of them, including Emperor Yuanqing, lose their looks.
"Two... Two hundred taels? ”
"This ...... Isn't it... Is Xi'er's income for most of the year? Wen Qingyun said in surprise.
It's just such a one, but in this hall, there are four or five other ornaments scattered around, which is not a boudoir.
Although some of the decorations of the palace must have been there for a long time, it is not that a few people have never been to Yunxi Palace, and they have obviously not seen it before, and it is inevitable that they will be newly placed in these months.
"What's the matter, it's obviously not so high," Qin Yuanxi glared angrily at his aunt and grandmother who poured fuel on his fire,
"The price of this bottle is only worth a hundred taels, and it was given to me by my cousin before...... Other things are not priceless, Xi'er has such a wide network, and it is not impossible to collect some treasures at a low price. ”
In addition, on the side of the Fuguo Mansion, Qin Yuanxi still has a few cousins and cousins, and there are a lot of things to give, but in fact, they are not so valuable.
There was no such person left and right, and she hurriedly came up and casually prevaricated a few words.
This is still thanks to the fact that Qin Yuanxi's night pearl that was auctioned everywhere was not exposed, otherwise I am afraid that it will be really indefensible.
It's just that since Emperor Yuanqing is here, where will he be fooled.
After listening to this series of lies, she lost her patience anymore, and her face sank, "Okay! ”
"Xi'er, don't take us for fools, you should know the origin of your silver, and it's better to explain it as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid that my grandmother will be forced to dismiss all your caravans."
"Grandmother...... Qin Yuanxi opened his mouth in a hurry, touching Emperor Yuanqing's serious gaze, and finally deflated.
"Xi'er just broke the rules and secretly sold something with high profits, and didn't do anything other bad......"
"Tell me clearly, what kind of high-profit thing?"
Qin Yuanxi lowered his head and recalled for a moment, lowered his eyes, and whispered, "...... Salt was secretly sold for three or four months every year, and then Nianguan and Beidi Tataran did some border trade. ”
"Salt? Xi'er you! ”
The first person who caught fire in his heart was Wen Qingyun, who was almost out of proportion by the woman's explanation, "No matter how greedy you are for money, how can you meddle in salt?" You ......"
Salt is a high-interest and high-tax trade controlled by the government, and now most of it is regulated by the imperial merchants.
Selling salt without permission is a felony, and if these princes and princesses encounter them, it is enough to make the suspicious emperor murderous.
However, for Emperor Yuanqing, he was relieved to hear that it was only these two things.
Making money in private is making money, but fortunately, there are no particularly sensitive prohibited items, if so, I'm afraid I will be even more disappointed.
On his lips, Emperor Yuanqing's tone became more and more severe, "Secretly selling salt? You are well calculated, they are all high-priced products, I think you are losing money. ”
Qin Yuanxi knew the weight of salt, and after listening to this criticism, he hurriedly stepped forward to his grandmother's side.
"Grandmother, Xi'er was sold at the market price at the beginning, and it didn't sell much, and she just wanted to make more money......"
Wen Qingyun said bitterly, "Xi'er, if you don't have enough expenses, you can ask for more shops." ”
"What's not enough? Not enough to save so much silver in three years? Emperor Yuanqing sneered angrily,
"Originally, the operation of the shop was to let the royal family subsidize the expenses, and I don't look at whose daughter has such extravagance and waste?"
Seeing that her granddaughter was still quite aggrieved, she raised her hand again, "I don't feel that I am not a greedy lord of money, nor are Qi Chuan and Qingyun, how can I raise such a granddaughter who is greedy for money and stingy?" Not enough shops? It is also necessary to sell illegally in private. ”
In the end, the cold eyes had unconsciously moved to King Ning, and there was no questioning in it.
King Ning, who was smiling and watching the show, immediately blackened his face.
"What are you staring at? This is not my granddaughter, the boudoir that this king thinks he taught...... Grandchild...... The granddaughter is still knowledgeable, embroidering and painting all day long, well-behaved and sensible. ”
Okay, Qin Yuanxi stood aside and was trembling, so he didn't worry, but when his aunt and grandmother said half of it, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
My aunt still knows that my aunt is not good-natured......
Emperor Yuanqing retracted his gaze, "Tell me yourself, how can this punish you?" ”
Qin Yuanxi went to pull his grandmother's arm and whispered, "Xi'er won't do it in the future." ”
"Later? You think it is simple, in my opinion, first hand over all the 1,000 taels of silver, and then see the situation of your reflection for subsequent punishment. ”
This punishment really cost Qin Yuanxi's life.
That's all she has! She has saved up for three years, but it's only a thousand taels, if she loses a cent because of this, she might as well die.
Forcibly raising his courage, Qin Yuanxi began to play the emotional card again and lost his temper, "Don't, grandmother, that silver is only about four hundred taels of irregular income, and the rest is all the money from the shop, and it is the income of three and a half years." ”
"Really? Only four hundred taels? ”
"Hmm..."Qin Yuanxi nodded expectantly.
"This can't work, you may not have spent much before, so I will charge you eight hundred taels, and I will not pursue the remaining two hundred."
No matter how wrong he was, Qin Yuanxi still strongly opposed it in his heart, "No! Grandmother, you are making things difficult for Xi'er, you don't follow your own rules, don't say it, and now you know Xi'er's bad rules, and you have to deliberately collect cash. ”
Emperor Yuanqing was stunned when he heard this, and his face was displeased, "Xi'er, what did you say?" When did I break the rules? ”
Qin Yuanxi thought that it was time for him to speak, so he hurriedly explained, "Xi'er used the token to ask Tianwei for help at first, grandmother knew the rules of the token, and she still forced Sister Shuyu to tell Xi'er's purpose and secrets, isn't this a slap in the face?" ”
So what happened...... Emperor Yuanqing's puzzled gaze retracted, and he smiled dumbly in his heart.
"Nonsense, where did grandmother force Shuyu? Your face was suspicious in the morning, and grandmother asked King Ning to inquire about the news because she was curious, and she didn't ask Tianwei at all. ”
Emperor Yuanqing ordered King Ning to enter the palace at that time, so he hurriedly ordered to go down.
In the end, he got an unbelievable secret, but the time was short and he didn't understand it in too much detail, but Emperor Yuanqing became suspicious and pulled a few people to the door to ask for the crime.
Qin Yuanxi didn't believe it, and raised his eyes to look, "Auntie, grandmother? ”
"Yes, you don't know, I also have spy information on my hands."
Saying this, King Ning was obviously proud and playful, "So I'm telling you, your grandmother didn't violate that rule." ”
“……”
Suddenly, Qin Yuanxi was dumbfounded, and the whole person was stupid.
And this operation?
How......
How can this be!
"Grandmother! You're bullying the small, deliberately, it's not in accordance with the rules, how... How can you go about investigating......"
There were no righteous words for a while, Qin Yuanxi couldn't tell a reason, and he was so anxious that he wanted to cry in his heart.
