Chapter 56: A Brilliant Excuse
"Shut up! It's noisy! King Yi looked at the money shopkeeper with an impatient face and said coldly, "If the lady says that you are wrong, you will be wrong, this king listens to the lady, you have to listen even more, otherwise this king will kill you!" ”
King Yi's cold voice as cold as ice instantly extinguished the hope that the money shopkeeper had just burned, I thought that King Yi was stupid and could use him to suppress the princess's arrogance, but I didn't expect that this fool was actually out of his nostrils with his princess, it was really a mistake!
"The prince has spoken, what else do you have to say?" Xia Xue looked at Qian Zheng coldly, and her face sank like water.
"Princess, why are you so aggressive?" Qian Zheng saw that King Yi was unreliable, so he said angrily to Xia Xue.
"This concubine is aggressive? How is this concubine aggressive, this concubine is just checking the property in the name of her own palace, why is she aggressive, besides, you are now at the end of the crossbow, can this concubine be aggressive? ”
"Let Concubine Ben calculate, these three shops are the largest stores in the palace, and in the most prosperous area, according to normal circumstances, the monthly income is more than 30,000 taels, and this will be nearly two years, and there will be six or seven hundred thousand taels, right? According to the law of my Southern Dynasty, if you embezzle more than 1,000 taels, you will be punished with 50 rods, so if the property is confiscated, if it is hundreds of thousands of taels, it seems that your life is not enough to be punished! ”
Steward Xu's eyes opened, and the princess was a woman who was familiar with the laws of this dynasty!
Qian Zheng reprimanded angrily with red eyes, "Does the princess want the lives of our old guys? A few of us have worked hard for the palace for more than ten years, and there is no merit and hard work, and the princess has only been here for a few days, and she wants to punish us with the words of others, so as not to deceive people too much! ”
"We don't accept it, lord, lord, you must be the master for us!" The shopkeeper flicked his sleeves angrily, and his fat face trembled because of his emotion, like the big belly that sows swaying back and forth when she walked.
"If you don't give us an explanation today, we will poke this matter out, and see if everyone believes us or believes the words of an evil princess who has no virtue and no talent." Driven by anger, the loud voice of the shopkeeper Li was as deafening as the thunder before the storm, and even the subordinates who were hiding outside and eavesdropping were suppressed.
It's a pity that the object of their anger is not moving, and they don't take their threats and anger in their eyes at all.
It is said that the dog is in a hurry to jump off the wall, and a few scheming old guys, even if they are usually treacherous and cunning, when they meet a woman like Xia Xue who is more calm and ruthless than them, they have to jump off the wall for a while.
Although Xia Xue didn't move, King Yi was very cooperative, stood up at the beginning of the three of them's shouting, jumped to Xia Xue's side, glanced at the three of them and quickly lowered his head, and said as if he was very scared, "Lady, they are so fierce!" After the three of them shouted, King Yi finally said such a sentence.
After listening to King Yi's words, Xia Xue's eyes instantly darkened, just because you shocked Yi'er today, you don't want to leave King Yi's mansion completely.
She stretched out her hand and patted King Yi, who was a little trembling and tightly pulling her sleeve, and said softly, "Lord Wang, you said, if we find so many dogs in the palace to manage the store, will it scare the guests away?" ”
"Yes, yes! Lady, dogs will definitely scare away customers if they stay in the store, but lady, there are no dogs in our store? King Yi scratched his head, thought about it and said.
Xia Xue looked at such a lovely King Yi, smiled slightly, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in her heart, what a teachable child! Then he pulled King Yi to sit on the chair and comforted him gently, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!" ”
Steward Xu couldn't help but be surprised, and then relieved, this prince seemed to have become smarter, and knew how to follow the princess's words, which was quite a bit of a woman singing with her husband.
"You, you wicked woman! Don't think that becoming a princess is a step to the sky! If there were no hard-working people like us in the palace, a group of people would have starved to death a long time ago, do you think you can still have a lot of affection with your prince here, drink tea here, and have a bunch of people to serve? ”
"Concubine Ben didn't see how you worked hard and complained, but after seeing your face, she was very unhappy, if you don't want to work hard and complain, you can immediately roll up and leave!"
The three of them were stunned, looked at each other, and a trace of determination flashed in their eyes, anyway, they had a lot of money, enough for them to spend for the rest of their lives, and they originally had the intention of leaving, but now they have an excellent excuse, why not?
Although he was proud in his heart, he didn't show half of it on the surface, and the three of them were all angry, and the shopkeeper Tian said angrily with a fat face, "Does the princess really want to drive people away so ruthlessly?" ”
"Humph! We worked hard for the palace for more than ten years, but we were driven away when we were old, we don't blame the prince, and we are willing to share it for the prince, but for a princess like you, forgive us for not having such a broad mind! ”
"That's right, we just starve to death, and we won't die for this kind of person!" The three of you say a word to me, showing indignation, quite high-spirited, not bending their waists for five buckets of rice, the subordinates hiding outside all cheered for them secretly, and at the same time, the resentment towards Xia Xue deepened.
Since this woman came, all the expenses of the palace had to be approved by her, and everyone was already miserable, and now if these shopkeepers also left, and no one managed the store anymore, the expenses of the palace would inevitably be reduced, and they would have no money to "go well".
Xia Xue punished Liu Wu and his wife and punished Xiaocui at the beginning, but I have to say that the relatives are happy and the enemies are painful, because as Steward Xu said, not all of them are their own people! And after Xia Xue dealt with Liu Wu's family, the management of her subordinates was relatively strict, and it also cut off their way to make a fortune.
As the saying goes, people die for money, and birds die for food!
And he said, "Man shall not destroy heaven and earth for his own sake."
And Xia Xue is their common enemy for these people at the moment, for the sake of common interests, they have long left behind Xia Xue's methods when dealing with Liu Wu's family, regardless of their dignity, squeezed into the door, and stepped forward to persuade one after another.
Xia Xue looked at the people in front of her coldly, but she didn't mean to stop it, say it, say it hard, say everything in your heart, and let this concubine get to know you again!
Thinking of this, the corners of Xia Xue's mouth were slightly hooked, and a smile quietly climbed up to both sides of her red red lips, which looked even more sultry under the light of the early morning sun.
"Three shopkeepers, don't be angry! ……
