"The late emperor is dead, and I am his only remaining heir. The father's debt is repaid by the son. If you kill me, you can avenge the death of your mother!"
Lin Xu directly pulled out the silver hairpin from You Jiuli's head and handed it to her: "Come on, I'll give you this chance!"
Bai Ye's eyes were cold, ready to take action at any time.
Your Majesty is a great master, so there is no way this woman can harm Your Majesty.
But as long as she dares to take action, it proves that she has rebellious intentions.
Then he would definitely take action without hesitation.
Your Majesty, you are testing the other party with yourself.
You Jiuli looked at the young face in front of her, and there was a vague shadow of that person in his appearance.
Yes, that person is dead, and her revenge is destined to be unrequited.
But if he could kill his only heir, would that be revenge?
She stretched out her trembling little hand and slowly held the silver hairpin in her hand.
"Yes, that's it. Take it and stab it into my heart, and your mother's great revenge will be avenged!!"
Lin Xu was still holding the fire, and even took the initiative to open his chest and put his heart on the silver hairpin.
As long as Youjiuli exerts slight force, the silver hairpin can be inserted.
But she clearly hesitated.
"Why, are you afraid that if you kill me, you won't be able to get out of this palace, or are you afraid that others will be harmed?"
"Then I decree that even if you kill me, you will not be guilty, let alone involve others,"
"You have no joke, you can rest assured."
Lin Xu said lightly.
You Jiuli held on to the silver hairpin tightly, and finally threw it away, hitting her head heavily on the ground.
"Your Majesty was not born at that time. Even if a common woman has hatred, she cannot impose this hatred on innocent people."
"Your Majesty, please let the civilian daughter go!"
Lin Xu stood up and said coldly: "You have to think about it."
“If we don’t seize this opportunity, we may not have another chance in the future.”
"Or are you still afraid of my anger? Then I can issue an imperial edict and tell it to the world. Are you satisfied?"
"Your Majesty, what the civilian girl just said is true, and there is absolutely nothing against her will."
You Jiuli was almost lying on the ground, with a hint of determination in her trembling voice.
Lin Xu's expression softened: "Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"How do you think about what I said yesterday?"
You Jiuli's expression changed, wondering: "Your Majesty, it's not that civilian girls don't do it, it's that they simply can't do it."
"With 50,000 stone grains, let alone the Jiuli Chamber of Commerce, even the three major chambers of commerce in the Imperial City combined would be difficult to collect in half a month."
"So it's impossible?" Lin Xu said.
You Jiuli remained silent, it was indeed impossible.
Food is in short supply at all times.
If you buy food in large quantities, those people will definitely raise the price.
By then, even if the entire Jiuli Chamber of Commerce is sold, half of the silver may not be enough.
"That's all. Since you can't do it, I won't force you." Lin Xu shook his head.
"Seriously? Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." You Jiuli looked up with surprise on his face.
"Of course. Bai Ye, immediately send people to inspect the Jiuli Chamber of Commerce, and all relevant people will be put in jail and will be released after interrogation."
"And the kid in the prison, I buried him alive."
"If you dare to scold me, you are seeking death."
Lin Xu's words instantly frightened You Jiuli and turned pale. She quickly knelt down and almost cried: "Your Majesty, didn't you say you should let Jiuli Chamber of Commerce go?"
"If you fulfill my conditions, Jiuli Chamber of Commerce will be fine, but if you can't fulfill it now, what's the use of keeping you here?"
"Yesterday you dared to rush into Ningyuan Palace with weapons, and tomorrow you dare to hold a knife to my neck."
"Do you think I can keep you?"
You Jiuli looked at Lin Xu in disbelief.
Your Majesty is such a scoundrel today.
"Your Majesty, you want to force the daughter of the people to death. If this is the case, there is no need."
"As long as you say a word, the daughter of the people can die directly."
"But most of the Jiuli Chamber of Commerce are ordinary people. Some families rely on them to make money by working alone. They are really innocent people. I beg your Majesty to investigate clearly."
You Jiuli's voice was low, and her tone was obviously aggrieved.
If there was a way, how could she not do it.
The problem is that she really can't do it because she doesn't have enough money. She can still borrow money from a bank or even sell the entire Jiuli Chamber of Commerce.
But the main reason is that there is simply no place to buy it.
The flood in Jijun, Xishan has already spread throughout the world.
Whoever has food now doesn't hide it and wait to make a fortune later.
Lin Xu stared at her and immediately waved his hand.
A eunuch was carrying a tray with a bowl of rice on it.
The rice used was the brown rice he bought yesterday.
"Do you have any impression of this rice?" Lin Xu said calmly.
You Jiuli looked up and saw the rice made from brown rice. Her beautiful eyes moved slightly, and she nodded and said, "Of course I know."
"This is the special price rice sold by our Chamber of Commerce." As if she thought of something, her expression changed and she kowtowed quickly: "Your Majesty, the daughter of the people just wants to let more people eat. She has no intention of harming the people. Please investigate clearly. .”
The corners of Bai Ye's mouth twitched, what a good little girl, being forced into this state by His Majesty.
It is true that accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, and the sacred heart is unpredictable.
"Am I that scary in your eyes? Do you always punish people?" Lin Xu snorted coldly.
"No, it's not. It was a common girl who made a mistake with her words. I'm sorry for Your Majesty." You Jiuli's delicate body trembled, her face full of fear.
"Have you ever eaten this rice?" Lin Xu said lightly.
"Eat it, I've eaten it. To be honest, in the past month, all the women have been eating this special price rice. I only dare to sell it to ensure that it will not cause harm to the people."
"Yes, then you can eat again."
Youjiuli didn't dare to refuse, so she directly took the rice and ate it in big mouthfuls, completely ignoring etiquette.
I am afraid that I will be punished if I eat slowly.
I don't know if she ate too fast, but You Jiuli suddenly coughed violently, and her white face turned red.
"Are you that hungry?" Lin Xu rolled his eyes: "Come here, watch the tea!"
A eunuch brought a cup of tea and handed it over.
You Jiuli quickly took it and drank it.
With the help of water, she finally recovered and quickly ate a bowl of rice.
He even burped after eating, which looked a little cute.
Youjiuli realized that she had lost her bearings, and immediately blushed and knelt down, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the tea!"
"The meal is over, but it's not for free." Lin Xu smiled and said, "Tell me how you feel!"
Hearing the previous sentence, You Jiuli's heart tightened, and she almost kowtowed and begged for mercy again.
Fortunately, His Majesty did not play riddles this time and quickly explained the reason.
You Jiuli thought for a long time, with trouble on his face.
How can you feel about this brown rice.
The taste is dry, like swallowing a stone.
The only advantage is probably that I feel full.
"Your Majesty, please take care of your food!"
For a long time, You Jiuli reluctantly gave an explanation.
"Full?" Lin Xu's eyes showed worry: "Then do you know that this 'full' is what many disaster victims dream of."
You Jiuli opened her small mouth, not knowing what to say.
Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, raised her head suddenly, and said in surprise: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your guidance. The daughter of the people knows what to do."
