Yuchi Xi took the axe, put it on his shoulder, ran to the golden bed, and swung the axe down. Suddenly, a scream came from under the bed.
Yuchi Xi trembled with fear. Jing Huaian quickly stepped forward, grabbed her waist, and put her behind him while drawing his sword. "Who?! Get out!"
The person under the bed seemed to have heard the sound of the sword being drawn, and spoke tremblingly, "No, hero, spare my life!"
"I, I'm coming out, I'm coming out!"
A man crawled out from under the bed. He was pale and reached out to pull at his robe. "I, I'm a waiter, not a thief."
Yuchi Xi:!!!
You are scarier than a thief!
The city lord is not here, the city lord's wife was outside just now, and you were under the bed, you idiot!
Good job!
Jing Huaian's mouth twitched slightly, "Who asked you to come?"
"Yes, it's the City Lord's wife." The young man's cheeks flushed slightly. "She gave me a lot of money. The City Lord's wife said that the City Lord can't be full..."
"Stop, shut up!"
Jing Huaian shouted angrily, "Don't pollute my little princess's ears with your dirty words!"
Yuchi Xi:?
"Actually, I'd really like to hear it, but since you said it would pollute my ears, I'll just accept it."
I never expected that the city lord’s wife is so powerful!
Her husband took a concubine, and she called him "xiaogong", there's nothing wrong with that!
Everyone has their own way of doing things. This idea is definitely avant-garde.
"Oh." The waiter pouted in grievance, not daring to say anything. Seeing that they were silent, he asked hesitantly, "Um, please, can I leave now?"
"I was also frightened by the little princess's axe just now. I was afraid that the axe would fall on my head."
Jing Huaian sneered, "It's a bargain for you if I hit you on the head."
Waiter: ...
I didn't dare to say anything, this guy is very fierce!
Yuchi Xi burst out laughing, "Alright, go now!"
She doesn't make things difficult for anyone!
It's not easy for people to make a living.
The waiter knelt down and saluted with gratitude, "Thank you, Your Highness. I will take my leave now."
The waiter ran away in a hurry.
Yuchi Xi picked up the axe and continued to chop. Jing Huaian wanted to ask her if she needed help, but he saw her chopping the gold...
No, can this gold really be cut?
Where does the little princess get so much strength?
What he didn't know was that Yuchi Xi used spiritual power. The axe wrapped in spiritual power was no ordinary axe, it was the Niu Hulu Axe!
Today it will take back everything that belongs to it!
Every time Yuchi Xi swings the axe, he feels happy!
Seeing that there was nothing Jing Huaian could do to help, he took out a bag from his arms and began to help her pack the various gold decorations in the room.
Well, these are also the little princess’ favorites!
The two of them worked together and quickly packed up all the gold items in the room.
Yuchi Xi looked at the bags of gold with satisfaction. "Very good, everything is packed. Brother Jing, can you help me check what kind of money he embezzled before?"
"Which counties were these silver coins originally intended to be sent to? What were they intended for?"
Jing Huaian nodded, and he flew out. A moment later, he returned with a bundle of account books. He handed them to her, "Little Princess, they are all here."
Yuchi Xi: ...
so much?
Yuchi Xi untied the belt of the bundle of books, picked up the book on top and opened it. There were a lot of records in it, all about the surrounding counties, either for floods or for building bridges and roads. The court allocated funds many times, but he had never used them properly once.
Yuchi Xi narrowed his eyes and walked out with the bundle of account books. "Brother Jing, please help me get someone to exchange all this gold for small change!"
"Also, please call a carriage for me. I want to go to the nearby county town."
"Yes." Jing Huaian didn't ask any more questions. He arranged a carriage for her first, and then asked someone to exchange the gold. After the exchange, he packed all the silver and money in bags, rented a carriage, and waited here.
He knew that the little princess would come back to find him after looking around.
As for what the little princess was going to do with the money, he had a vague guess in his mind.
The groom took Yuchi Xi to the nearby county magistrate. He was very puzzled, "Young lady, why are you going to that county town? The roads there haven't been repaired yet. It rained heavily recently, and the roads are muddy and difficult to travel on. Even if you were to take a carriage, it would be bumpy and uncomfortable."
Yuchi Xi asked casually, "Isn't this road going to be repaired?"
"The city lord doesn't care? The imperial court doesn't care?"
The groom laughed at himself, "Why would the city lord care about our lives?"
"As for the imperial court, the mountains are high and the roads are long. Who can possibly understand the situation in this remote and poor country?"
"Even if they knew, they would probably still give up!"
"You won't care about us..."
The coachman lowered his voice as he spoke, "Young lady, we are about to reach a difficult road. Please be careful in the carriage."
Yuchi Xi responded and lifted the carriage curtain to look out. Because it had just rained, there were a lot of small puddles on the road. The bumpy gravel road looked extremely steep. When the carriage wheels rolled over it, Yuchi Xi's butt was shaken off the seat.
Fortunately, she was prepared and grabbed the window to steady herself.
This road is so difficult for a carriage to travel, how could a person walk...
Yuchi Xi's gaze fell on the muddy ground, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a little sorry for the people here.
