Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 229 We are more cunning than despicable hypocrites!
The envoys of Great Xia kept silent when they saw everyone, probably also realized that their proposal was very unrealistic.

He became somewhat annoyed, and suddenly rushed forward to grab a Hu merchant believer who came out of the temple.

"Avar, stop for me~!"

The captured Hu merchant believer wore a mask and a cloak, and was tightly wrapped, but he was lame on one leg and had an extremely thin body, which was very recognizable.

Probably as long as it is someone who knows him, the mask and cloak are not very useful, and it is easy to recognize him!

"How dare you come to this demon girl's gathering? Are you going to betray the king... If the king hadn't reused you back then, your family would never have prospered. Do you even want to betray the king?"

The Great Xia envoy grabbed the lame and thin Hu merchant believer and questioned him angrily.

The lame Hu Shangqing knew that he couldn't deny it, but he didn't panic. Instead, he lowered his voice and cursed: "You damn fool, do you want to kill me?!"

Da Xia's envoy was stunned by the scolding, but before he could say anything, the lame Hu businessman and his companions turned against the guest and dragged him to a remote place.

The Daxia warriors who followed may also know the Hu merchant named Avar, so they did not stop them, but followed behind to ensure the safety of the Daxia envoys.

After staying in a remote place, the lame Hu merchant and his companions took off their masks and cloaks, and explained to the Daxia envoy in a low voice: "You also said that if it weren't for the king's important use, my Avar family would not be able to prosper at all. I am as dear as a father, how could I betray the king?"

Daxia envoy said coldly: "Then why did you appear here?

As he said that, he groped around Avar with both hands, and found out ten hundred taels of denomination gold notes he had borrowed from the temple, and a loan contract: "How do you explain these? If you don't obey those two witches, How are they willing to lend money to you? Still at such a low interest rate!"

Avar grinned, instead of panicking, he nodded and admitted, saying: "Yes, if I don't obey them, how can they lend me money? Or at almost zero interest..."

The Daxia envoy couldn't help being taken aback, as if he understood what he meant.

Avar kept talking, and continued: "If I can't borrow this amount of money, how can I buy goods, and transport Daqin's gorgeous silk, exquisite porcelain, mellow fairy tea, crystal glass... Back to the West to make money? "

"I can't earn money, so how can I pay the king dividends and repay his kindness to me?"

The Great Xia envoy turned his worries into joy when he heard that, if the Hu merchants were like this Avar, they were just holding on to false ideas and taking advantage of Pasade's mother and daughter, it would indeed make sense.

But immediately, he frowned again, looked suspiciously at the smiling Avar, and said, "You are indeed a businessman, cunning guy, can I believe your words?"

Avar suddenly put away his smile and said solemnly: "You can call me a cunning businessman, but you shouldn't doubt my loyalty to the king!"

The Great Xia envoy curled his lips, and was not impressed by his righteous attitude: "You have two skins, what do you say, who knows your loyalty, and who it belongs to..."

He was too lazy to argue with this cunning businessman, instead, he looked at the loan contract and the ten brand-new hundred taels of gold notes in his hand, and said hesitantly: "Sly guy, you actually borrowed a lot of money!" 500 taels of gold tickets... Give the mission 300 taels as travel expenses, the king will not blame you."

Avar said without hesitation: "Of course... But, you'd better never let people know that I gave money to the Great Xia Mission, otherwise my family's caravan will lose the opportunity to make money in Great Qin forever! "

The Great Xia envoy was noncommittal, and tore the loan contract to pieces with a few swipes.

Then, he returned the two golden tickets to him, accepted the remaining three, and led the missionary warriors away.

Avar looked at the only two remaining golden tickets, and then at the back of them leaving, deep disgust and contempt flashed in his eyes.

This bright grab-like style is really exactly the same as that King of Daxia, it makes people hate it...

And his companions were even more aggrieved, and directed at the direction where the Great Xia envoy left, and directly released the humiliating skills: "he, tui~!"

But after venting their resentment, the companions looked sadly at each other helplessly.

"Now there are two hundred gold tickets left, what should I do?"

"Except for the expenses and management on the road, there is not much left."

"With this little money, you can still buy a fart of merchandise..."

……

Avar was also very helpless. After pondering for a while, he led his companions back to the temple again.

Pasade's mother and daughter were checking accounts with the golden-masked female guards, and they were not surprised at all when they saw the disciples of the Hu merchants leaving and returning with sad faces, and even took the initiative to say: "It was blackmailed by the mission Yet?"

This question of whether to be happy or not sad, in the ears of Avar and his companions, seemed to have warmth, like a loving mother's care.

Avar and his companions blushed in unison, prostrated themselves in front of Pasade's mother and daughter, and lamented with their foreheads on the ground: "Two saints, yes, we were blackmailed, and we... yielded. It’s gone...we can still speak shamelessly, disrespect Ahura, disrespect the two saintesses, we are guilty..."

Queen Pasade's face was a bit ugly, and disgust appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Seeing this, the little girl, Anniewei, hurriedly took over the conversation, neither happy nor sad, and said: "When facing power, one should preserve oneself and cherish one's family in this way."

Then, he handed the two new loan contracts to Avardao: "Fill in the amount you need to borrow again."

In Avar's red eyes, tears finally fell uncontrollably.

The companions behind him wept even louder, like a wronged child, looking for an adult who can support him.

After a while, Avar controlled his emotions, took the loan contract with trembling hands, filled in the amount, signed his name and pressed his fingerprint.

The little girl, Anniewei, withdrew a loan contract, gave him three hundred taels of gold notes again, and waved her hand: "Go, tell all devout believers, when we are not rich and powerful enough, learn to endure, we are better than despicable people." Hypocrites are more cunning to save themselves and their families."

"Follow the teachings of the saint~!"

Avar and his companions bowed their heads piously and left the temple wiping their tears.

After Queen Pasade watched them leave, she immediately snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, businessmen are really cunning guys, I have already asked them to choose sides, yet they still dare to jump left and right, and they still have the face to come back Re-borrowing, hateful~!"

The little girl, Anniewei, glanced at the golden-masked female guards, and said quietly to the apse, "Why be too demanding, we are now under the power, so why not be humble and ask for perfection?"

Queen Pasode suddenly misfired: "..."

Heartbroken, girl!

In fact, they were manipulated by the people of Qin, and they had no room to resist at all. In fact, they were even worse than Hu merchant believers.

Queen Pasade was not in the mood to settle the accounts, anyway, it would be the same if she was more or less, so she immediately threw the work to the golden-masked female guards pretending to be female officials in the palace, and led her little girl, Annie, back to the apse to deal with errands.

However, when the mother and daughter entered the back hall, they did not find Qin Mo, Fu Su, and old Fan Zeng. There was no one in the hot spring pool or the resting bedroom.

"Where's your prince and prime minister?"

Queen Pasade asked the golden-masked female guard on duty in the apse.

The golden-masked female guard said casually: "Just now the eunuch Gongsun came to call and left through the back door."

Queen Pasade nodded, and didn't bother to ask what they were doing. She dragged her tired body with her little girl, Anniewe, and walked towards the bedroom.

"By the way, Eunuch Gongsun brought you food."

The golden-masked female guard picked up a lacquerware food box with several layers from her side, and handed it to the mother and daughter.

Queen Pasade was stunned, and asked later, "Who is the eunuch Gongsun?"

The golden-masked female guard patiently explained: "It's the elder Gongsun of the Prime Minister Qin's residence... The official position of the elder is the eunuch order."

Queen Pasade suddenly nodded: "So it's my husband's grandson~!"

Since the food was brought by her husband and grandson, she was not in a hurry to take a rest. She reached out to take the food box, sat down with Annie Wei by the hot spring pool, and opened it layer by layer with full expectation.

There are plenty of food in the food box. The top layer is fruit panna cotta, the bottom layer is a small cold dish platter, the bottom layer is steamed buns with mutton and scallion, the bottom layer is a large plate of chicken, and the bottom layer is a Cantonese-style dessert. soup……

Even the golden-masked female guard next to her couldn't help being a little greedy when she saw it!

Since Queen Pasade moved to live in this temple, it has been a long time since she had eaten the food of the Qin Mansion, and she couldn't wait to eat it now.

The little girl, Anniewei, said to the golden-masked female guard, "Let's eat something together, sister."

But the golden-masked female guard, who had a cold attitude just now, suddenly became respectful and said, "Don't dare."

Said, back away far away, not to disturb the mother and daughter eating.

Her posture stunned Aniwei, and Queen Pasade also stopped nibbling on the chicken's neck, and raised her head somewhat in astonishment.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

These female officials who were born in the palace have never been polite to them on weekdays, not to mention domineering, but also domineering.

It can even be said that they are treated as prisoners.

Just like just now, if you say a few more words, you will appear impatient!

Now the sudden change of attitude made the mother and daughter not used to it...

The mother and daughter looked at each other for a while, and suddenly looked at the rich food in front of them at the same time. The change in the female officer's attitude was obviously related to these food.

And these delicacies were brought by my husband and grandson...

At the beginning, when they followed Qin Mo home, when her husband Sun first saw them, he acted like a very respectful old servant.

Even Yu Ji and Yuan Man, Lu Zhi and Lu Xiaomei don't take their mother and daughter seriously, but their husband and grandson still take good care of them.

And their mother and daughter are used to it!

But now that I think about it carefully, the respect and care of my husband and grandson are very confusing...

Just like now, knowing that they are not good at eating out, whenever they have the opportunity, they specially send rich food, so... After the female officer saw the rich food, she didn't know where to go, and her attitude immediately made a 180-degree turn!
The mother and daughter were thinking wildly while tasting the delicious food. When they came back to their senses, the food box was already empty.

"Hiccup~!"

Queen Pasade covered her face with her sleeves and belched contentedly.

The little girl, Anniewei, also touched her belly, and said delicately, "I'm going to become fat."

Seeing that the mother and daughter were full, the golden-masked female guard presented a thick booklet and said, "You two ladies, the accounts have been checked, do you want to send them to Prime Minister Qin for review?"

Queen Pasade reached out to take the booklet and opened it, but after a few glances, she was suddenly taken aback, and suddenly raised her head and said, "What did you call us???"

The golden-masked female guard raised her hands, but remained silent.

Queen Pasade looked at her little girl, Annie, and wanted to ask if she had hallucinations, but Annie was also sluggish at this time, her pretty face was full of shock.

Obviously, she also had auditory hallucinations!
Queen Pasade shook her head fiercely, glanced at the golden-masked female guard, then forcibly focused her attention on the account book, and after reading it for a while, she said, "Leave 5000 taels of gold notes for lending to the envoys at any time." Blackmailing believers."

"The remaining gold notes, together with the loan contracts of the believers, and this account, send it to... Forget it, we will send it back in person, and we haven't been home for a long time!"

Queen Pasade wanted to explain the errands, and then went to rest with Anneve, but at the end of the conversation, she suddenly changed the subject and put on a look that she wanted to go home and have a look.

This is really pulling the banner, the attitude of the golden-masked female guard suddenly became more respectful, and hurriedly called a few companions, and restored the attire of the palace ladies.

Then, they drove the carriage to escort the mother and daughter out of the back door of the temple, and went straight to Xianyang City.

The carriage traveled all the way, quickly passed through the outer city, went straight into the inner city, and finally stopped in front of the gate of the villa.

The mother and daughter got out of the car wearing a large cloak, looking at the long-lost and familiar villa, they really had the illusion of going home.

Husband Sun went out to greet her warmly: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Queen, I have seen Her Royal Highness the Little Princess... Why did you two come back suddenly?"

Queen Pasade did not put on airs, and said reservedly: "After eating the delicious food you sent to the temple, I feel a little homesick."

Husband Sun smiled, and nodded while laughing: "I'm homesick, I'm homesick. The matter in the temple has come to an end. It doesn't matter if you stay at home for a while."

As he spoke, he turned sideways and welcomed the mother and daughter into the courtyard.

"Where is Prime Minister Qin?"

Seeing that the villa was too quiet, Queen Pasade asked her husband Sun, then took out the account book, pointed to the remaining gold notes and the loan contract brought in by the ladies behind her, and asked, "How to deal with these?"

Her husband, Sun, explained: "Prince Qin and the princes and princesses all went to play with His Majesty in micro-clothes, and I'm afraid they won't be able to come back until evening... However, Princess Huanan didn't go with her, and she is still dealing with the state affairs of Hexi. .”

Queen Pasade nodded, and together with her little daughter Annie, led the female officials in a familiar way to find Lu Zhi who buried his head in the copybook.

The female officials put down the large and small boxes and retreated respectfully.

Queen Pasade handed over the account to Lu Zhi, but did not withdraw with Anneve. The mother and daughter looked at the mountain of government affairs reports beside Lu Zhi, and their eyes were full of envy.

In comparison, their identities as mother and daughter have no gold at all, and Lu Zhi is the real queen who holds the power of a country.

This makes them who want to reproduce the glory of their ancestors have to envy them!
