Flattery was a technical job. Lin Chujiu was unfamiliar with this, but her identity was unusual. With her identity as Princess Xiao, she tried to make up for all her shortcomings. As long as the emperor forgets about the people of Xiao Wangfu, kneeling and flattering was only a fart, compared to making her heart feel better.
But of course, once she feels better, she mustn't do less.
*Plop* The Emperor put down the letter in his hand on the table and said with a serious face: "Lin Chujiu, is what you said in this letter true?"
"This wangfei guaranteed with her head that what written in the letter is true." When Lin Chujiu saw the Emperor finally asked about the business, she was relieved.
Her legs hurt.
"Hmm… …you said that these unscrupulous merchants squeezed the people's hard-earned money. So why did the Minister of Justice said today, that you forced a merchant to spend huge sum of money to buy things from Xiao Wangfu?"
"Oh… is there such matter? Which shop did the Ministry of Justice say that our Xiao Wangfu forced to buy our things?" Lin Chujiu said with a surprise looked in the face. The Emperor knew that the other party was pretending, but he couldn't help but praise her inside his heart.
*Cough* The Emperor cleared his throat and said: "The Xingsheng Pawnshop, they said you forced the Xingsheng Pawnshop to issue 50,000 thousand silver tickets." This matter was related to his decree, which made the Emperor really dissatisfied.
How could Xiao Wangfu not have 200,000 silvers? Lin Chujiu deliberately caused trouble. Although it was the Zhang Family who was troubled, he also lost his face. People thought he treated Xiao Tianyao harshly.
"How could that be?" Lin Chujiu busily said with full of righteousness: "Huangshang, the Ministry of Justice must have been blinded by people, we didn't force anyone to buy our things. This wangfei estimated that my jewelry is worth 50,000 and then went to the Xingsheng Pawnshop. The manager of Xingsheng Pawnshop said that there is no need for them to take our things and just directly give us 50,000 silvers. This wangfei refused and firmly demanded fair and just transactions. If his majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the people present in the scene."
Obviously, they forced the other party to buy them, Lin Chujiu just take for granted the matter.
The Emperor secretly applauded, but he didn't show it on his face. He only said: "Is what you said is true?"
"All the sentences this wangfei said are true. If his majesty doesn't believe it, you can check the pawnshop and you will see my things. His majesty can also ask the eunuch or the other pawnshop to check if my jewelry is worth 50,000 silvers." Lin Chujiu came ready today. So before the Emperor could open his mouth, she said everything that should be said.
The eunuch who was present turned and faced the emperor. The Emperor took a glance at him and nodded his head: "Xiao Wangfei's words are true. If these things are false, the Xingsheng Pawnshop will be upset."
"Huangshang, the master behind the Xingsheng Pawnshop and Wansheng Grain store is from the same family. These people must have hated Xiao Wangfu because Wangye blocked them from raising the price of grain. This wangfei is asking his majesty to let us strictly investigate them." Lin Chujiu's words not only cleaned the charge on Xiao Tianyao but also paved him a way.
The price hike of grain has nothing to do with Xiao Tianyao, but the price of grain has fallen because of Xiao Tianyao's appearance.
The Emperor wanted their Xiao Wangfu to suffer. But they didn't shed blood, so both sides were not pleased.
"This wind can't last long. If what you said is true, this matter must be strictly handled." The Emperor was like an eagle, spreading its wings nonstop until it catches its prey. So Lin Chujiu didn't say much.
Lin Chujiu couldn't help but cursed after hearing those words, but she still said honestly: "Please give this wangfei a month, this wangfei will surely find out the matter and deal with the unscrupulous traders one by one."
Lin Chujjiu particularly heavily said her last sentence, to emphasize to the emperor that their Xiao Wangfu was determined.
They will take care of this matter, but it is up to them to decide how to deal with it.
"Well, Xiao Wangfei is worried about the country and the people and lessening zhen's worries. Zhen will support you." Lin Chujiu's words made the emperor very satisfied, so he didn't notice that he was controlled by Lin Chujiu. The Emperor completely forgot to pursue Lin Chujiu's refusal to accept the decree.
Lin Chujiu was afraid that the emperor would remember about it. So when she got the order, she immediately left and climbed up the carriage before she dared to rub her sore knee.
The emperor was simply crazy. He didn't let her up from beginning to end. He kept her kneeling, just to enjoy the feeling of being superior.
"Wangfei, what happened to your legs?" When Feicui and Zhenzhu and Pearl saw Lin Chujiu's painful expression, they hurriedly came forward to help her roll up her skirt, exposing her purple knee.
In summer, Lin Chujiu was wearing a little, so her knees can certainly not hold kneeling for a long time.
"Wangfei, you have been wronged." The two maids were so angry that their eyes reddened: "The emperor is too much. How could he bully a weak woman? If he has the ability, he should find Wangye and give him trouble instead."
"Poof…" Lin Chujiu couldn't help but laugh: "Your wangye left me in the capital to help him block the troubles. For the emperor to cause him trouble, the emperor should pass through me first."
Lin Chujiu didn't care much about it, she looked for an ointment and handed it to Feicui: "Help me rub it."
She had been in this situation many times. But this time, she didn't kneel for too long, her knees looked ugly, but it wasn't that painful… …
When Lin Chujiu left, Housekeeper Cao had been waiting at the gate. He stretched out his neck from time to time, waiting for Lin Chujiu's return. When Housekeeper Cao saw the carriage appeared, he hurriedly came forward and said with a smile: "Wangfei, you're back. This old slave was worried to death." If Lin Chujiu didn't come back, he will go to Lin Family to find Lin Furen.
"It's okay, you don't need to worry." Lin Chujiu comforted Housekeeper Cao and asked him to let someone find Su Cha. She needed Su Cha's help!
Well… … she can't do anything. She was purely a pretty princess in the mansion. She needed to call the people of Xiao Wangfu to be able to do something. So she needed to call Su Cha.
This situation sounds very strange. Thinking about Xiao Tianyao's arrangement, Lin Chujiu couldn't help but frown. She couldn't tell whether Xiao Tianyao trusted her or not.
He trusted her? Xiao Tianyao gave her the official seal of Xiao Wangfu, but she still had to find Housekeeper Cao to get the other key if she wanted to use it. Additionally, if she needed to move many people of Xiao Wangfu, Su Cha needed to show up first.
He doesn't trust her? But Xiao Tianyao told Housekeeper Cao and Su Cha, that no matter what happened, they should listen to her arrangement.
In Lin Chujiu's point of view, Xiao Tianyao's arrangement was unnecessary.
*Cough* Xiao Tianyao actually didn't do much. He only did this to prevent Lin Chujiu from running away. His intuition told him to do this. Xiao Tianyao felt that Lin Chujiu easily get uneasy. So he was afraid that when Lin Chujiu saw the situation was not good, she would run away alone.
For safety, Xiao Tianyao told Housekeeper Cao and Su Cha to stared at Lin Chujiu. But of course, in order not to let Lin Chujiu know this, Xiao Tianyao did it in a very low-key manner… …
