Chapter 297: After all, it's the king's money
"That's the king's money after all......"
Ao Xue went to the nearest Daming Bank and confirmed that the six gold bills were genuine.
But when the teller of the bank asked if she wanted to open an account and make a deposit, Aoxue hesitated.
When she deceived the goods from Lin Na and left the ambassador's clothing firm, Ao Xue had already thought about it.
Although the six goods were deceived from Lin Na, they were produced by Dawang's factory in the final analysis.
The benefits that were originally given to employees at an approximate cost price were resold and eventually flowed to the Tessie market.
If these six pieces were sold in Taixi, the king's trading house would sell six pieces less, and lose at least five hundred silver bills.
Keeping the three hundred silver bills for himself is equivalent to stealing the profits of the factory and stealing the king's money.
Without the permission of the king, if you "borrow" it yourself, it is said to be stealing.
Even if you find a chance to return it in the future, it will at least be a crime of embezzlement.
Ao Xue hesitated, but in the end, she didn't have any deposit, and returned to the New Rome Tea House with cash.
In the huge house, turning back and forth a few times, Ao Xue's heart became more and more uneasy.
What the hell is going to do with the money?
You can do whatever you want, provided that you have the support of the king.
In the final analysis, I still depend on the authority of the king.
If he didn't have the authority of the king, he might have been able to get these things temporarily through deception and intimidation.
But those who have been deceived and intimidated, after understanding that they are just bluffing, will surely come to take revenge on themselves.
Without the authority of the king, even if he has the ability to make huge profits, he will not be able to truly enjoy those wealth.
He has just started to do things for the king, and the king's trust in himself must be very limited.
If you have your own careful thinking at this time, you can use the trust and authority of the king to make profits for yourself......
Once discovered by the king, he may immediately lose all of this, or even disappear directly.
I was really lucky, and I unexpectedly got the opportunity to get close to the king, but I can't be confused by this little profit.
Even if it's a relatively large profit...... I can't let myself bury the bright future of climbing into the king's bed because of this.
The most important thing now is to gain the king's trust as much as possible, and then gradually turn it into a favor.
If it is a personal maid like Chunxiang Niangniang, even if she swallows all the 10,000 pieces of goods, it is estimated that it will be fine.
The point is that after reaching that status, there is no need to embezzle property for the sake of fine clothes and food.
Even if you really want money, you can ask the king directly for it.
That would be absolutely safe whether you get it or not.
The question is, how can I be pampered?
The king doesn't seem to be interested in his body, and he doesn't need a slave girl like himself.
The maidservants around the king are much better than himself.
She is a maid, she was still a slave, and she was not raised at home since she was a child, so it is impossible for her to be a concubine.
Aoxue fell into a deep confusion and couldn't see where her future was.
"Can you just be an ordinary subordinate? Work for the king like an ordinary man? Work? ”
Desperate to sell his hue and flesh to the king, but the king has no interest in this, and the king values his abilities.
As a woman, she was supposed to be attached to a man, but now she has to do things on her own to make money.
Aoxue's outlook on life and values are trembling and distorted.
There is no point in one's own skin, and the only thing he can do for the king is what he is doing now.
So if you really do everything that the king has explained, can you get the opportunity to climb into the king's bed?
Is it possible to claim a great merit for oneself and then directly ask for the king's presence?
While the chances are certainly very slim, it seems to be the only way to go......
Aoxue feels that she has finally found her purpose in life.
In order to climb into the king's bed and do everything the king has explained.
After thinking about it for a long time, Aoxue finally decided to report to Haruka.
In Mengxian Castle, when the time came in the evening, An Xiaona and An Xiaofu followed Zhu Jingyuan back to the room.
Chunxiang also returned to her room, leaned on the chaise longue and flipped through the book boringly, when suddenly a maidservant came to report:
"Sister Chunxiang, that female worker named Aoxue came to you and said that she had something very important to tell."
Chunxiang frowned subconsciously when she heard this, and muttered with some doubts in her heart:
"What is this woman doing here? It's only been three hours since she left, can she get anything out of it? ”
However, this woman's work can't see the light, she can only connect directly with herself, and can't tell others.
So Haruka asked the servant to bring Aoxue in, and then let the others go.
Ao Xue told her about what she did in the afternoon.
It's rough, but it's all about it, and there's no cover-up.
Including defrauding six pieces of goods from Lin Na, going to the New Rome Tea House to find Aunt An and selling them, and getting six gold bills.
also talked about the fact that he got the right to use the New Rome Tea House, and the general direction of Aunt An's escape.
In the end, Ao Xue also said her guesses and thoughts:
"That old may have a channel with Tessie, or be part of it herself.
"But I think it's more important to find a way for them to get things off the island.
"As long as we find this way to cut off their passage out of the island, we can completely cut off the source of smuggling.
"Besides, although this old didn't tell me, there must be a secret room or something in that tea shop.
"Niangniang, you can arrange for someone to investigate carefully, you should find something."
Haruka was quite surprised when she heard it, but she didn't expect this woman to be so simple and rude, and she directly rushed to the other party's stronghold.
And this simple and crude plan is really quite effective, and it directly obtains a lot of information.
After listening to this, Haruka thought in her heart about how to respond to this Aoxue.
After struggling for a few seconds, Ao Xue reluctantly took out the six gold bills:
"And ...... This is...... I sold six of Linna's goods today and got the money back.
"I thought about it, although I cheated these goods from Linna, they were the goods of the factory in the final analysis.
"The money I get after selling it should be the king's money in the final analysis......"
Chunxiang immediately laughed when she heard this:
"If you can think of this, it means that the king is not wrong.
"It also means that you have brains, but it's still not enough.
"Do you remember why you were fined by the king?"
When Ao Xue heard the praise, her face immediately turned happy, and she was immediately confused when she heard it:
"I was fined because I acquired ...... Then resold welfare goods......"
Haruka smiled and said:
"And who did you resell to?"
Aoxuemeng's eyes widened:
"I ...... I sold it to Linna, and I got it back......"
Haruka went on to explain:
"That's right, since you have taken back what you resold and returned it directly, it is equivalent to taking the initiative to return the stolen goods, and the corresponding loss itself will be wiped out.
"According to the custom of His Highness, the severity of the punishment is determined by the damage caused.
"After you have returned the stolen goods, you do not need to continue to pay the fine of two hundred and fifty-five silver bills.
"The factory only needs to do basic punishment for your behavior itself, and the punishment level can be reduced according to the circumstances of voluntary surrender.
"The time for not being able to enjoy employee benefits, taking general exams and promotions can also be shortened from one year to three months.
"But after you got those stolen goods back, you immediately sold them again on your own initiative, isn't this equivalent to reselling welfare goods for the second time?
"The total price of this resale is 300 silver bills, and according to the original penalty standard, the fine of three times is 900 silver bills.
"According to the latest punishment standards under the treasurer of Lin University, a fine of ten times and dismissal will be imposed, plus three years of compulsory labor."
Aoxue felt like her brain was going to explode.
How many years is the salary of nine hundred silver bills?
Ten times the fine, how much is the annual salary of 3,000 silver bills?
The point is that there is also dismissal, and three years of forced labor, which is deathly.
Ao Xue felt unprecedented chagrin and remorse, and her body staggered and almost fell:
"No...... You can't ...... like that."
Chunxiang was very relieved to look at Aoxue's panicked appearance, but she didn't push her too much:
"Don't be so excited, I know you have a mission,
"According to the king's request, at a price of not less than fifty silver bills, to test the merchants of the smuggling channel.
"So I'm not going to punish you like that.
"I'm just trying to remind you that you have to find out who you are, that you really know who you really are.
"The way you do things in the future, and the perspective of thinking, should fit your own identity.
"Otherwise, you may do as much as you do wrong, and you don't know how you died in the end."
Ao Xue recovered from the huge panic, and after breathing a sigh of relief, she saluted Chunxiang very seriously:
"Please teach me ...... mother"
Haruka nodded lightly in satisfaction:
"You are now the person of the Great King, and you are actually an official employee of the Great Food Country, and you are no longer an ordinary citizen and worker.
"You can think of yourself as a plainclothes Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei found stolen things for the people, what should I do?"
Aoxue thought for a while:
"Should it be returned to the original owner?"
Haruka nodded:
"Yes, if you had thought so at the time, you wouldn't have done anything wrong, and you wouldn't have sold the stolen goods you got back."
Ao Xue changed her perspective, recalled what she did today, and had a new question:
"If I am Jinyiwei, can I use deception to get back the stolen goods in Lin Na's hands, is this a violation?"
Haruka immediately said:
"It's not a violation to be sure it's stolen goods, so you can only get the stolen goods back, and you can't just take extra things.
"If a thief only steals two dollars, you can't steal his whole family, let alone kill him.
"And the stolen goods should be handed over and registered as soon as possible, and it is up to your parent organization to decide what to do with them.
"Because a thief, a smuggler, the money and goods on his body are basically illegally gained.
"Most of them should be returned to the owner, as well as those whose interests have been violated by him.
"You dispose of the stolen goods yourself, whether it is for your own use or for sale, at least it is embezzlement and embezzlement."
Ao Xue nodded quite melancholy and solemnly:
"I see...... So, what should I do with the six gold bills I got back, and the right to use that house? ”
Haruka put the six gold bills on the table beside her:
"Let's talk about money first, as the proceeds of your first mission, you will be divided according to the rules set up for you by His Highness.
"Half of it is your personal income, which is fifteen silver bills, but it will be used to offset your fine.
"Two hundred and fifty-five silver bills, after deducting fifteen silver bills, there are two hundred and forty silver bills left.
"What should have been offset in full, now only fifteen silver bills can be offset.
"How do you feel right now?"
Ao Xue said with a sad face:
"I feel regret, heartache, chagrin now, I want to die......"
Haruka smiled:
"It's right to feel heartbroken, and only by feeling sad can you remember the lesson of this time."
Ao Xue agreed with a sad face:
"I'll never forget ...... in my life"
Haruka nodded slightly:
"It stands to reason that the goods you sell are the same as the goods you have that you can sell.
"But, it stands to reason, I shouldn't allow you to replace the stolen goods you sold with what you have in hand.
"It's just...... You did a good job this time, and you found the clue so quickly, which can be regarded as a credit.
"The key is that you are honest enough to tell you the process of getting back the stolen goods and selling them, and hand over the three hundred silver bills.
"Instead of thinking that he would conceal these things and embezzle the money for the three hundred silver bills himself.
Such choices and actions should certainly be rewarded.
"So wait until tomorrow, I can try to ask Your Highness to treat the stolen goods you have sold as goods to be sold
"Treat four of the goods you have as stolen goods that you should return.
"If Your Highness agrees, you can offset the two and waive the fine you should pay.
"This is equivalent to the fact that you have recovered the stolen money of eighty-five silver bills from Linna, but you have not yet handed it over.
"In the future, just pay off the stolen money gradually.
"Of course, the premise is that His Highness allows this to be dealt with, and if His Highness does not allow it, then you have to continue to pay the fine."
Chunxiang slapped a stick and gave a sweet date, which should be said to be a carrot, but it was hung up, and it was not really given yet.
Ao Xue was so grateful that she almost knelt down, but she didn't really lie down when Chunxiang shouted again and again:
"Thank you, thank you, thank you......"
After calming down for a few seconds, Ao Xue couldn't help but ask:
"Mother, why wait until tomorrow? It's just getting late in the evening......"
Chunxiang subconsciously looked at the direction of Zhu Jingyuan's room:
"Because there is a girl in the family who has been taken in by His Royal Highness today, I won't bother at this time......"
Ao Xue was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously swallowed her saliva fiercely:
"I'm so envious......"
Chunxiang couldn't help frowning again when she heard this, and then immediately changed the topic and continued to explain the distribution of the money:
"According to His Highness's arrangement, 20% of the proceeds of smuggling are your activity funds.
"That's sixty silver bills, and they can now be issued directly to you.
"It's used to hire people, find out information, buy the necessary tools, etc.
"But the money is public money and must be strictly booked.
"You don't know much about reading yourself, I'll send a girl to help you.
"Helping you manage your money is also supervising you and reminding you not to do anything wrong."
Ao Xue was in a complicated mood and agreed seriously:
"Understood, thank you, Niangniang."
Haruka continued:
"Finally, there's the shop, you just get the right to use it, the name on the title deed, and it's still the original owner.
"The crime of the owner of the house is not clear, the main thing is to continue your mission, and it is not time to startle the snake.
"So the store will remain as it is for the time being, and you will be responsible for the management and use of it as a base for organizing channel activities.
"However, with the crimes of those smugglers, it is impossible to have the opportunity to keep such assets after being caught.
"So the final result of the house was confiscation, and now it will be managed according to the kingdom's assets.
"So when you use it, you must not destroy or resell the contents of it.
"It's your office, understandable?"
Ao Xue listened and said again and again:
"I understand, I understand, the workplace that the king has allowed me to use in order to complete my mission.
"That Aunt An and her channel, if you still want to receive the goods, will definitely come back there to contact me.
"Niangniang can ask His Highness, even if you find their traces, don't arrest them until you find out their smuggling methods.

"Let me find a way to gain their trust and figure out how they can get their goods out of the island."
Aoxue was very satisfied with this disposition.
It is impossible to get the ownership of the house directly.
Now that I have the permission to use it from Haruka, I can live in it with confidence and boldness.
I don't have to go back to my parents, two brothers, a sister, and a family of six people to huddle in that cramped two-room dormitory.
Mengxian is not a big city, and now I have a bicycle, and living in the store does not affect my work.
Haruka also nodded lightly and said:
"You're right, now it's all about finding a way for them to smuggle.
"You said that Aunt An was not caught, because we don't know how they got out.
"The officials of the Yamen and the people of the West Factory were ready to follow them, but they all suddenly lost them.
"Now it's up to them to see if they dare to contact you again."
