1029. Chapter 1029 Yan Yan [15]
The old man didn't seem to expect that Ye Jiangxue would ask the price, and was stunned, because in his impression, strictly speaking, in his perception, the emperor who thought he would spend money to buy jewelry would not do it at all.
It is impossible to ask the price of sesame cakes. After all, there is a huge difference in value between sesame cakes and jewelry. Since ancient times, when emperors went out, they would of course take a fancy to something they liked. There was no need to ask about the price.
But it was a rare opportunity like this. The old man still quoted the price obediently, but he very maliciously raised the price a lot: "Twenty...twenty taels."
That voice sounded very guilty.
Unfortunately, if he had met an emperor who didn't care about worldly affairs, he would have bought it with a wave of his hand. But Ye Jiangxue is a money-loving and stingy owner, and he will save whatever he can.
She glanced at the old man and pointed with her white finger: "Don't fool me, your sesame cakes usually only sell for ten cents each. There are five in total here, which is only fifty cents. Do you know the crime of deceiving the emperor...
…”
The old man was startled and wanted to kneel down. He had only heard people say that Ye Jiangxue was a foolish king. He wanted to earn a vote, which could provide him with a month's worth of meals and save him the fatigue of selling sesame seed cakes. What he never expected was that,
Ye Jiangxue is so shrewd, and even if she can't care less about her face, her head is about to fall off because of her momentary greed.
"The grassroots people...the grassroots people deserve to die...please forgive me..." Ye Jiangxue blinked and looked at the silent old man. Although he was that old, he did have a lot of fat on his body. It seemed that he had eaten regularly.
That's great. It must be because she loves to enjoy happiness. She coughed lightly and raised her hand to stop the old man: "I want to forgive your sin...but..."
She paused deliberately. The old man knelt on the ground and kept shaking. He stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. His face was full of fear. He opened his lips and echoed: "Whatever your Majesty asks the common people to do, the common people will do it willingly!"
"
"Hmm... Okay, this is what you said, to distribute ten sesame seed cakes to the victims every day. Don't tell me that you don't know where the victims are. The victims who have recently poured into the imperial city can be seen everywhere." After Ye Jiangxue finished speaking,
Turning around and leaving, just when the old man thought he could get away with it, Ye Jiangxue suddenly paused: "There will be people supervising you, even though you can't see them, don't try to fool me!"
The old man's heart was lifted up again when he thought of being supervised by people who could neither see nor touch him in the future. His face was full of panic, and he secretly regretted his stupid decision in his heart. He regretted it as much as he did.
He reached out and grabbed the remaining pieces of sesame seed cakes, stuffed them into his mouth, and chewed them hard, leaving crumbs all over the floor.
Ye Jiangxue thought that she had finally dealt with the old man Cheng Yao who had been killed on the roadside, and quickly stepped forward to look for her tailor shop. Finally, she saw the only shop that had not been closed at the corner of the street not far away, and
I walked quickly and hurried to the stall, but I didn't see the owner of the stall. I was wondering where the person had gone. When I looked down, I found that it was a little girl bending down to close the stall.
The little girl saw that the rumored empress who had just knelt down stopped in front of her bed and stopped her movements in shock. Ye Jiangxue could only smile softly to comfort her, "Little sister, you have a gap here.
