Tolando stood up with difficulty and looked at the people in front of him with a grim expression.
They couldn't come up with more than two million taels of silver at once, so what should they use to pay the compensation?
Bai Zifeng stepped forward and bowed to him, "Lord Tolandu! You can pay the tribute first, and then have the envoy deliver it when you return.
If we can't pay the money, the people of Dongsheng will laugh at the Northern Kingdom for breaking its promise, and the Northern Kingdom can't afford to lose face like that. Lord Tolando can't let the Northern Kingdom lose face."
Although Tolandu disliked the prince whom he had always looked down upon, his words were right and he could not break his promise to the people of Dongsheng.
Otherwise, His Majesty would be furious, and even if he died, it would bring shame to the family.
It was he who wanted to set up the gambling game, and it was he who wanted to make a bet with the Prince of Dongsheng, but he couldn't pay the money. Isn't it ridiculous?
He was the envoy this time, and he was the one who made all the things happen. There was no turning back.
After gritting his teeth, he finally adopted Bai Zifeng's suggestion and asked others to take out the gold, silver and treasures that they had paid as tribute to pay off the people's gambling silver first.
He will figure out what to do next.
Naituanzi looked at Bai Zifeng with appreciation, his eyebrows curved with a smile.
[Hahaha! This proton is quite interesting, helping Dongsheng to plunder the wealth of the northerners. The performance of the big white goose today was very successful, but it was a pity that I wasted a lot of spiritual power. ]
Li Sizu was a little jealous and looked at Bai Zifeng unwillingly. He held Chu Xiaoxiao's hand and asked her for praise: "Sister Xiaoxiao! Did I perform well?"
Without his identity as bait, the Northern envoy would not fall into the trap.
He is the one who deserves praise.
Without him, the people of Dongsheng would not have been able to earn this money. Sister Xiaoxiao should praise him.
The little girl looked back at him, reached into her small cloth bag, took out a large yellow pear, and stuffed it into his hand.
[I know, I know, you are great! Very powerful! I will reward you with a spiritual fruit. If there is such a thing in the future where you kill people without paying for their lives, we will cooperate again.]
Li Sizu: “…”
Woo woo woo! Sister Xiaoxiao was so good to him. She gave him such a big reward. He was so touched that he wanted to cry.
Spiritual fruit is a good thing that cannot be bought even with money.
He took back the eight apples given to him last time and gave them all to his father.
The emperor ate one himself, gave one to him, one to his mother, one to his sister, and left the rest alone, not daring to eat them casually.
Wait until you feel uncomfortable somewhere before eating it. Good things like this are hard to come by.
Unexpectedly, his sister Xiaoxiao gave him another gift today, not an apple, but a pear. He took it back and shared it with his father, mother and sister.
Chu Yimo bought 10,000 taels of silver and earned 50,000 taels in a blink of an eye. He felt that this money was too easy to make.
The emperor also felt that money was easy to make. He asked the young eunuch to invest 50,000 taels of silver, but he didn't expect to get a hot 250,000 taels in return.
Looking at the pile of glittering silver, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed and whispered to Eunuch Yuanbao beside him.
"Why did I only buy 50,000 taels? I should have bought 100,000 taels and made the northerners pawn their underwear as compensation."
Eunuch Yuanbao narrowed his eyes and smiled: "It's because the emperor is kind and can't bear to see the envoys from the Northern Kingdom lose all their wealth. In the final analysis, our Princess Lingxiao is really amazing. She can even train geese to fly into the sky. This old servant really admires her."
Speaking of Chu Xiaoxiao, the emperor laughed out loud: "Hahaha! You are right, Lingxiao is indeed amazing. Not only can the goose fly to the sky, but it can also bring me unexpected gains.
Go open my private storehouse and pick out some good things to reward Princess Lingxiao. Without her, the Northern Kingdom would not have contributed more than two million taels of silver to our Dongsheng.
Hahaha! My Lingxiao is a lucky star, specially here to assist me and the prince. Hahaha! I am really happy today!"
After paying the 2.5 million taels of silver, Tolando's face turned extremely pale. More than half of the tribute was gone, and the people who came with him would definitely not speak for him. He had no choice but to die to apologize.
Li Sizu was holding a pear in his hand and sitting on the high platform with Chu Xiaoxiao. The meaning was very clear: they would not leave until Tolando died.
They are the Black and White Impermanence who are taking lives.
The people of Dongsheng received the compensation silver and went to the streets in great joy, buying anything they wanted, whether it was food, drink, playthings or clothes, as long as they liked it, they would buy it without even asking the price.
Those who didn't get to take part in this gambling were all sighing and groaning. How come they didn't get a share of such easy-to-earn money?
Bai Zifeng stood beside Chu Xiaoxiao. He was also waiting, waiting to see Tolando die.
The deputy envoy of the Northern Kingdom delegation was at odds with Tolando, and he asked the secretary to write down every detail of what happened today.
I must report everything to His Majesty in detail when I return, and I must not be careless.
Who should take the responsibility for the sudden decrease in tribute? Of course, it was Tolando and his family.
If he doesn't take responsibility for the trouble he caused, who will?
If the amount of silver was less, they could still share it, but more than two million taels of silver, such a huge sum of money, they had no way of sharing it.
Tolando also knew that today was the day he would die. Without hesitation, he took out the dagger, knelt on the ground, faced north, and stabbed himself in the heart.
Li Sizu was afraid that Chu Xiaoxiao would have a nightmare after seeing this, so he covered her eyes with his hands.
Bai Zifeng's eyes gleamed with excitement. He looked at the two people in front of him who were younger than him with admiration and felt that they were so amazing.
Tolando had always been the person he wanted to kill, but he had never been able to do so. Unexpectedly, he was killed by the Crown Prince of Dongsheng and Princess Lingxiao.
It was really amazing, he admired her very much.
[Alas! Tolando is dead, it's time for us to leave. After working so hard for so long, we finally killed this abominable man.]
Chu Yimo reached out and picked up his sister, wanting to say goodbye to Li Sizu, but he insisted on sending Chu Xiaoxiao back.
When the big white goose saw that its owner was about to leave, it immediately stood up from the ground, shook its feathers, held its head high, and followed them quacking.
The people all knew that it was the goose that flew into the sky that brought them profits, and many people took grass and vegetables to feed it, but the big white goose just looked at them and did not eat them.
How could those things be as delicious as the spiritual herbs? It was a goose that ate spiritual herbs, not an ordinary goose, so it would not eat those ordinary things.
Before they got home, the emperor's reward arrived. The old lady and Ms. Yang, Ms. Yu, and Ms. Wang looked at the pile of things and were all surprised.
"What problem has Xiaoxiao solved for the emperor?" The old lady was a little confused. "Why did the emperor leave all his problems to Xiaoxiao?"
Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Impossible? Maybe Xiaoxiao did something to please the emperor."
Yu: "Isn't that helping the emperor solve the problem? Mother! Sister-in-law! Let's not guess anymore. We'll know when Xiaoxiao comes back."
Wang smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Don't worry, it's a reward from the Emperor, there's no point in worrying. Xiaoxiao is capable, we should be happy."
