The gentleness of the mysterious evil prince

Chapter 277 Torturing Hearts
"Good morning, madam." Eunuch Liu responded politely. He, who had seen countless scenes, was a little nervous at this moment, and his hand holding the imperial decree trembled slightly, as if he was afraid of something, but he didn't even know why he was afraid.

He's just here to deliver an order, not to cause trouble, so what are you afraid of?
"Eunuch Liu, please read the imperial decree, finish the matter as soon as possible, so you can go back to the business sooner, right?"

"Ah... yes, yes." Eunuch Liu opened the imperial decree. Perhaps his old eyes were dizzy, or he was too nervous to read the words on the imperial decree clearly. He simply said bluntly: "The Holy Majesty promulgated A new law has been issued to collect [-]% more taxes from the people, and Mo Castle must pay [-]% more taxes like everyone else."

Eunuch Liu became even more nervous after finishing the imperial decree. His forehead was covered with cold sweat, so he wiped it with his sleeve. After wiping off the cold sweat on his forehead, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. Xuan, was immediately frightened by his two sharp eyes and looked away, afraid to talk to him, so he said to Qian Diewu: "Madam, accept the order."

Qian Diewu was very angry, and glared at Eunuch Liu viciously, but she also knew that this matter had nothing to do with him, so she accepted the imperial edict reluctantly, "The woman accepts the edict."

She didn't want to give the emperor the vain silver, but the imperial decree suppressed it, and she had to give it even if she didn't want to, otherwise the trouble would be even greater.

"Since the imperial decree has been delivered, I will go back and report to you, and please Da Furen act according to the decree as soon as possible."

"understood."

"Well, leave." Eunuch Liu never said a word to Jimo Wuxuan from the beginning to the end, but only told Qian Diewu that he left quickly after giving her the imperial edict, as if he was running for his life.

Qian Diewu pinched the imperial decree in her hand, and really wanted to tear it to pieces. As soon as Eunuch Liu left, she scolded angrily, "What, this is simply being a robber in disguise. If you can't ask for it yesterday, you will ask for it in the form of taxes today." Qian, calling him a robber is to give him face, and the robbers still have a little principle!"

This emperor has no common people in his heart, he is a fool.

Jimo Wuxuan was not that angry, he looked as expected, seeing Qian Diewu so angry, worried that she would hurt her body, so she hurried over to persuade her, "Don't be angry, it's not worth it if you get angry. If the Emperor wants to ask for money from Mo Castle, he will get it by all means, if he doesn’t get it today, he will use a new method tomorrow until he gets the money. So, don’t be angry about this matter.”

"I don't want to be angry, but I just can't help being angry. Wuxuan, how much is a [-]% tax increase to Mo Castle?"

"The previous tax was 300%, and Mo Castle had to pay more than [-] taels of tax every month. If it increased by [-]%, it would be more than doubled, about [-] million taels."

"What, more than 300 million taels. If you add the money that is given to the emperor for free every month, isn't it five or six million taels? Such a large amount can form a powerful army."

She really loves the money!

"To Mo Castle, five or six million taels is nothing, it's just the tip of the iceberg, so it's okay to give it to him."

Qian Diewu glared at Jimo Wuxuan displeasedly, put his hands on his hips, and reprimanded him angrily, "What is the tip of the iceberg? Do you think that Mo Castle's silver is like a waterfall, never ending? Even a waterfall will stop flowing." Time, not to mention your mere Mo Castle? How many people can live a happy and healthy life with five or six million taels, do you know? Although this 600% tax is a small matter for Mo Castle, it is For ordinary people, it is like Mount Tai is overwhelmed, many people will not be able to eat, and some will even starve to death, how many tragedies will happen again, do you know?"

Jimo Wuxuan originally thought that this kind of coaxing would make Qian Diewu happier, don't be so angry, who knows that it will backfire and make her even more angry. He listened to whatever he said, "Okay, okay, what you said makes sense, don't be angry, anger is not good for your body, be careful if you move your fetus."

"Humph."

"Still angry?"

"Yes, I'm very angry right now."

"Then I will burn this imperial decree to calm you down."

"Isn't it necessary to give the emperor five or six hundred taels after burning the imperial decree?"

"Die Wu, you don't have to worry about the money. Didn't you say that at the beginning? You can do business better if you spend some money on relationships, right? As for the affairs of the common people, you and I are not from the court. It's useless to think too much. "

Thinking of what she had said, Qian Diewu lowered her head and shoulders discouragedly, and said weakly: "I understand this too, but I just don't want to give away your hard-earned money, and every month I have to send them all, and the amount is astonishingly large, I..."

"Thousands of wealth are things outside the body, don't worry about it."

"Although money is not everything, but without money, nothing is impossible. The emperor is simply a bottomless pit. If this continues, Mo Castle will be hollowed out by him sooner or later. No, I absolutely cannot let him hollow out Mo Castle."

"Don't worry, it won't happen, the emperor's time is running out."

"You, how do you know?"

"It's not advisable to talk too much about this matter, lest walls have ears and misfortunes come out of your mouth. How about this, I'll take you out to relax today, so you don't have to think about money, okay?" The imperial decree was taken away, thrown on the table at will, and ignored, obviously still not paying attention to the money.

Maybe it's because he made too much money, so he doesn't feel bad at all, or maybe in his heart, there are some things that are more important than money.

After many times of persuasion and comfort from Jimo Wuxuan, Qian Diewu had to accept the reality even if she was unwilling to accept it. When she heard that he wanted to take her out to relax, she was very pleasantly surprised. I was afraid that I had heard it wrong, so I asked again, "What did you just say, say it again?"

He knew why she was surprised, so he held her face in his hands and said again, "I said I would take you out to relax, would you like to..."

Before Jimo Wuxuan could finish speaking, Qian Diewu interrupted him, and took his arm and walked out, "I am willing, I am willing, let's set off now, and have breakfast outside."

"Take your time, don't worry, I won't go to the accountant today, I will just accompany you."

"Really?"

"Well, business is not as important as you, is it?"

"Hee hee! I love to hear that, so who else should I take with me?"

"Do you want to take it?"

"Well..." Qian Diewu hesitated for a moment, then showed a flowery smile to Jimo Wuxuan, and said, "Why don't we just be the two of us, and treat it as a date."

"It's all up to you." Jimo Wuxuan said dotingly, as long as he can see the smiling face of his beloved, he is willing to spend no matter how much money he has.

Of course, things that are not brought with you in life and not taken away in death should be used as much as possible while you are alive. What is the use after death?

"Then let's go to the nearby inn to eat, the one opened by Mo Castle. If you don't mind, I want to go and see what Zhao Yuhua looks like now."

"Why do you suddenly want to see her?"

"It's nothing, it's just been too long, and I just want to see if she's doing well?" Qian Diewu smiled sinisterly and evilly, with resentment in her eyes, and she was still so angry with Zhao Yuhua until now.

This woman, I'm afraid she will never forgive her for the rest of her life.

To be exact, she would never forgive anyone who hurt her husband.

Jimo Wuxuan smiled disdainfully, said indifferently: "Just as long as you are happy."

"Don't just be happy for me. I hope you are happy too. If you don't want to see her, then I'm gone."

"It's okay, I have no feelings for this woman. Whether she lives or dies, whether she lives a good life or a bad life is none of my business." There is only one woman in his heart, and nothing else is important, let alone a woman who has hurt her before. his people.

Actually, that's not really any harm.

"Of course I know that you have no feelings for Zhao Yuhua. That's not what I'm asking. I just want to know, will you be unhappy when you see her? What I care about is your mood, not the life or death of others."

"When you are happy, I am happy."

"weak-minded."

"How can you say that you have no opinion? This is indeed what I say from the bottom of my heart. Seeing your smiling face is a happy thing for me."

"Okay, okay, stop being glib, let's go." Qian Diewu stopped the topic, and pulled Jimo Wuxuan to the door, but her mind was thinking of what he said just now, and her heart was sweet.

She loves to hear these words.

After leaving Mo Castle, Qiandiewu is like a happy bird, she feels something new when she sees everything, she looks around curiously, she is interested in everything, even people are no exception. Comparable to someone like Xiao Ke who came out of the mountains.

Jimo Wuxuan was not in the mood to go shopping, he was always in fear, afraid that Qiandiewu would accidentally fall or be hit by someone, after all, she is now a pregnant woman, it would be very serious if she was knocked down.

"Die Wu, slow down, watch people and the road carefully."

"I'm not a child, can't I even walk?" Qian Diewu didn't take it seriously, and wandered around as usual, saying hello if she saw someone she knew, "Grandma Wang, long time no see, how are you?" ?"

An old woman with gray hair was passing by with a vegetable basket. She heard a familiar voice and greeted her, so she stopped and took a closer look at the person in front of her. When she saw who it was, she was startled. , "This, this is not a butterfly... No, I should call you Da Furen now."

"Grandma Wang, you can still call me Die Wu as you did before. It's just a title like Mrs. Wang."

"Well, how can this work?"

"Why can't this work? Granny Wang, is your knee still hurting recently? How about I take you to Shennong Medical Village and let the doctor there show you?"

"Ah... this..." Granny Wang was so flattered that she trembled even talking to Qian Diewu, let alone anything else.

Now everyone knows that Qian Die Wu is not what it used to be, and she is even favored by Jimo Wuxuan, looking around the world, few people dare to provoke her.

"Grandma Wang, don't be polite to me. You were very kind to me and my mother before. I will never forget this kindness in my life. How about it, if your knee still hurts, then go to Mo Castle Come to me, and I'll do my best to help you."
