Chapter 109 Is this something a human can do?
"I wonder why the high priest and the saint have come to see me?" Kang You asked.
"You also saw the sudden thunderbolt that day." Yang Jiuxiao opened his slightly narrowed eyes.
Kang You nodded.
"There is definitely something wrong with the Ninth Princess of Da Xia. The lightning came too strangely. If it weren't for the gods' protection, I would have died on the spot." Yang Jiuxiao mentioned what happened that day with a strong sense of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Although I saved my life, the saint lost her divine power and can no longer understand the will of God." Yang Jiuxiao sighed heavily.
Hearing this, Kang You's head buzzed.
It came true, and it matched what he heard last night.
Yang Jiuxiao looked at Kang You, whose face was pale, and thought that he was frightened by the fact that the saint had lost her divine power, so he didn't think too much about it.
He said with a serious face: "This matter is of great importance. If it is leaked, it may cause panic among the people. This matter must be reported to the emperor. Please make the decision."
Kang You was filled with shock and said tremblingly, "Indeed, this matter must be reported to the Emperor."
He decided to return to southern Xinjiang as soon as possible.
This matter must be told to the emperor in detail.
Yang Jiuxiao and Yin Yuehua had no idea that their secret had already been exposed. They agreed with Kang You's proposal and decided to set off back to Southern Xinjiang tomorrow.
Before leaving, Shen Liuzheng came holding Lu Li.
When Yang Jiuxiao saw Lu Li, his face looked very ugly.
"What a pity." Lu Li looked at Yang Jiuxiao with disappointment.
Lei Gong and Dian Mu said that they could not execute this guy privately, and they had to report the matter of his worship of the evil god to the Heavenly Dao and let the Heavenly Dao handle it.
Can we really deal with Tiandao's accuracy in striking people?
Lu Li was very worried.
Yang Jiuxiao was so angry that his beard was about to stand on end.
What the hell is this girl talking about as a pity? Isn’t it a pity that he wasn’t struck to death by lightning?
"Okay, no need to see me off, we're leaving." Yang Jiuxiao felt a headache if he looked at Lu Li for one more second, and planned to just leave.
They thought Shen Liuzheng and Lu Li were sent by Lu Yanshi to pick them up.
They didn't expect that Shen Liuzheng's words would make them drop their jaws in shock.
"Lord Kang, the accounts for the renovation of Zhiyang Palace have been compiled. How do you plan to pay?" Shen Liuzheng looked at them with a smile.
"Pay the money!" Lu Li stretched out his hand with great momentum.
Kang You's face flushed red.
"What money should I pay?" Yang Jiuxiao fainted that day and had no idea that Kang You had agreed to such humiliating terms.
"Lord Kang is the representative sent by your Southern Xinjiang. He won't want to default on his debt, right?" Shen Liuzheng raised his eyebrows and looked at them.
Kang You said hurriedly: "No, I will order someone to give you the silver now."
Yang Jiuxiao learned the whole story from Yin Yuehua and was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
Promising to pay money, doesn't that prove that he, as the high priest, was wrong?
"No compensation. It's not our fault. Why should we compensate?" Yang Jiuxiao flatly refused.
"Okay, no compensation. Then I will bring the Iron Cavalry and the Ninth Princess with you to Southern Xinjiang and ask the Dragon Emperor for it in person." Shen Liuzheng spoke slowly.
These words changed the expressions of everyone present.
Who doesn't know the famous name of Shen Liuzheng? She led thousands of troops and slaughtered them all in Beiyong.
If she takes action, Southern Xinjiang will be completely unprepared and might become the next Beiyong.
"There's no need to trouble General Shen to come and ask for it." Kang You immediately took the account book and planned to pay the money.
"Five hundred and eighty-six thousand seven hundred and thirty-two taels of silver?" Seeing this number, the veins on Kang You's forehead jumped.
Are they being slaughtered like fat pigs?
It's just a broken temple and a damaged piece of land. Is it worth spending so much money?
"There's nothing I can do. Things in our Great Xia are more expensive." Shen Liuzheng looked innocent.
"Look at this stone sculpture in the embassy. Although it looks ordinary, it was ordered by the emperor to be transported back from northwest Guangxi. It is very expensive." She strode over and picked up the stone sculpture with one hand.
She holds stone sculpture in her left hand and Lu glass in her right hand.
Everyone present took a deep breath.
Is this something a human can do?
This stone sculpture must weigh at least 400 kilograms!!!
"If you don't believe me, try holding it. This stone sculpture looks ordinary, but it's a rare and good thing that keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer." After saying that, she threw the stone sculpture at Kang You.
Kang You was horrified and subconsciously avoided it.
The stone sculpture fell to the ground and shattered.
Kang You's face turned even uglier.
"Oh, this stone sculpture is worth one hundred thousand taels of silver. Lord Kang, you didn't hold it properly and it broke." Shen Liuzheng said with great sorrow.
"How can you blame me for not catching it? Is this something a human can catch?" Kang You collapsed.
"You mean, I'm not a human?" Shen Liuzheng widened his eyes.
Kang You: ...
I was careless. This woman is a lunatic. There is no way to reason with a lunatic.
"You people in Da Xia should not go too far!" Yang Jiuxiao could no longer tolerate it.
Shen Liuzheng said nothing and lifted Lu Li up and pointed it at him.
This high priest is very strange, she may not be able to deal with him, so let the Ninth Princess take over.
Lu Li:?
Why did Concubine Shu suddenly start playing high-heeled basketball with her?
"Ninth Princess, he said that we were bullying others. Why don't we use thunder to strike him again and show him what real bullying means." Shen Liuzheng reminded in a low voice.
People present: !!!
They heard it all.
Isn't this a naked threat?
Thinking of the thunder that day, Yang Jiuxiao was also a little scared. He had used his life-saving magic weapon once, but it might not work the second time.
Lu Li was very excited at the moment, and only thought about dealing with Yang Jiuxiao and the others. For a moment, she did not realize how Concubine Shu knew that she was the one who caused the thunder that day.
Seeing Lu Li eager to try, Kang You had no choice but to agree: "No need! We'll pay for it."
Judging from the shameless behavior of the Daxia people, if the embassy is struck by lightning, it might be blamed on them. It would be better to pay the money and leave this damn place as soon as possible.
"Okay, I'll give you 600,000 taels of silver." Shen Liuzheng looked at him with a smile.
"Wasn't it 580,000? How did it suddenly become 600,000?" Kang You was mad.
"The stone sculpture costs one hundred thousand taels, and I gave you a discount so that the price could be rounded up. Since you don't want to pay, let's just settle for the actual price." As soon as Shen Liuzheng finished speaking, the palace maid behind him immediately handed over an abacus.
"One price, six hundred thousand. It's a deal!" Kang You felt that if he continued like this, he might not be able to return to southern Xinjiang alive and would be angered to death by them.
"Okay, I knew that Lord Kang is a man of his word and will not easily go back on his word." Shen Liuzheng gave a brilliant smile.
"A word is as good as gold!" Lu Li gave him a thumbs up and gave him a sweet smile.
Kang Yousheng had nothing to lose, so he ordered his men to count the silver he had brought with him. There was only 100,000 in cash, and he wrote an IOU for the rest, promising to return it within a month.
"Kang You, I will tell the emperor about this bill." Yang Jiuxiao stared at him angrily.
"Don't worry, High Priest. I will tell the Emperor everything exactly as it happened." Kang You responded with gritted teeth.
[Oh no, have the two become enemies? ]
【Fight, fight! 】
Lu Li was not afraid of making trouble when seeing the excitement.
