But he became even more curious about Xiaobai's identity. He couldn't wait to get Xiaobai into his camp.
"Even you can't be found?" Taifu Liu's strength is not much worse than his. Prime Minister Ye can't help but be surprised that Taifu Liu can't find someone.
"Yeah. But the more powerful he is, won't he be able to give us greater help if he joins our camp in the future?" Taifu Liu had a perverted smile on his face.
"You're right. But I'm worried..." Facing a strong force, if they can't be pulled over, they will be their opposite, their opponent. Having a strong opponent is not a good thing.
"It doesn't matter how powerful he is. Even if we can't deal with him by then, if something happens to His Majesty, who will he help?" Taifu Liu didn't take Jiuli seriously at all. For him, Jiuli was just a chopping board.
It's just fish meat slaughtered by the previous person. It's nothing to be afraid of.
"What you are saying is that most of the palace is now owned by our people. It is impossible for that person to stay by His Majesty's side every day and find an opportunity to give His Majesty... But if it is used in this way, it will definitely be in the eyes of the people.
The words fell from his mouth," Prime Minister Ye suddenly felt enlightened. He was no longer so worried and afraid of Xiao Bai.
"Hmph. They are just common people. If you can't do it, kill them. They are selfish common people. They will obey whoever allows them to live a good life. As for the common people, there is no need to worry at all," Liu Taifu was full of emotions when he mentioned the common people.
Disdainful, for him the lives of the people are no different than a piece of grass.
Prime Minister Ye frowned and was silent for a few seconds and then nodded.
"That person will definitely come to you tomorrow to pay back the money. What are your plans?" Taifu Liu raised his eyebrows and looked at Prime Minister Ye in front of him.
"Huh! I don't have money. I won't pay back even if I have money. If he has the ability, just come here!" After thinking about what happened just now, Prime Minister Ye doesn't want to pay back the money anymore. The worst is that he will be scolded by the people. Wait until he sits down.
The position depends on who dares to scold him. The harsher the scolding is now, the worse it will be in the future.
Besides, he couldn't even count the money he owed. It was so much that it cost him at least half of the Prime Minister's house. How could the Prime Minister, who was used to living a good life, be willing to pay back the money~
The next day, the Prime Minister's Mansion closed the door tightly. There were a few more guards outside the door. Jiuli asked Xiaobai to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for money today. After all, there were too many people who owed money. How lazy to collect money.
As the saying goes, catch the thief first and catch the king. After Ye Cheng solved it, the others will pay back the money voluntarily.
"Master Bai, where are you going to collect money today?" As soon as Xiao Bai left the palace, people were already standing at the entrance of the palace. It was a dark crowd. I don't know how early they have been waiting here. They are all vying to be the best.
The first line of eating melons.
Especially if Xiaobai sees it, there may be more money. Whoever gives the money to them will be the boss.
"Prime Minister's Mansion, don't worry, everyone. We are all qualified people. It would be bad if we don't scare the Prime Minister." Xiaobai looked at everyone with a smile.
"Okay Master Bai." After Xiao Bai finished speaking, the people immediately became orderly. They lined up neatly and followed Xiao Bai.
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance, who was weak in body and mentally weak, was stepped on several times by the common people.
Early this morning, Jiuli canceled today's morning meeting due to physical discomfort. So Prime Minister Ye is at home at this time.
He got up early, gave orders to everyone, and then waited at home.
"It seems that there is no morning court today, and the Prime Minister took a late nap. It's so early in the morning and the door hasn't been opened yet." Xiaobai and his party had already arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion. They looked at the closed door and the eight people at the door.
the guard said.
"Hmph. I think Prime Minister Ye just doesn't want to open the door. In the past, there were only two gatekeepers. Today there are actually eight. Prime Minister Ye is not trying to be a swindler." The people had to say that Xiao Bai was really too kind.
He simply thought that Prime Minister Ye was sleeping in. If it were them, who would be able to sleep?
How could Xiaobai not know this? He just said that on purpose, and it worked really well. Immediately, some people scolded the guards and told them to open the door.
"Please inform the Prime Minister that we are here to collect the bill." Xiaobai walked up to the guard and said nicely.
In this scene, the people once again lamented that Xiaobai was too kind and polite.
"Okay. Wait a moment." The guard replied to Xiao Bai without changing his expression. Then someone came in.
Not long after, an old man came out. He was the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He opened the door and looked at Xiaobai with a smile.
"Sir, the Prime Minister has contracted the cold today. He is in bed recovering from his illness. It is not convenient to receive everyone. How about you come back another day." The housekeeper said what Prime Minister Ye had already told him.
"Wind-cold? It's true, Prime Minister. Even if you are in such bad health, your Majesty will be very worried if something happens. Why don't you let me go in and see the Prime Minister for your Majesty? This will save Your Majesty from worrying."
Bai looked at the housekeeper with a worried look.
"Thank you for your concern, sir. However, the prime minister is afraid of infecting everyone, so you should not go in to avoid being infected. The prime minister will feel guilty." The old housekeeper complained in his heart. This novice is really stupid. He believes this lie.
"Okay then. I won't go in then. But we are here to collect money today. The Prime Minister owes a total of 14.29 million taels of gold. The Prime Minister must have heard about this yesterday. He must have long ago
Are you ready? Please help the housekeeper take it out." Xiaobai took out the debt slip and read it out loud.
One thousand fourteen million two hundred and ninety thousand taels of gold! When this number came out, everyone gasped. This much money... this... this money... is too much.
"This... the Prime Minister was ill yesterday... so... I haven't prepared yet. How about you come back another day?" The housekeeper suddenly panicked. There was sweat on his head. Who is a good person to collect the bill and read it out so loudly?
Ah, it’s so ungrateful.
"It seems that the Prime Minister is too seriously ill, but today the people are still waiting to eat meat. The Prime Minister will not let the people have less meat to eat, right?" Xiaobai looked embarrassed. That expression was really too much.
It's heart-wrenching.
When the people heard that it was meat, it was okay, and they all panicked.
"The Prime Minister is not pretending to be ill because he didn't pay back the money. Why did he get sick today?" someone yelled.
"That's right. I saw the Prime Minister going to Xiangmanlou for dinner last night, and he fell ill today."
"Whoever catches wind and cold in the summer must be lying. Mr. Bai, don't be deceived by Prime Minister Ye."
In order for them to eat meat, the people now don't even care that the other party is the prime minister. It is the last word to eat meat. They all held their heads high and righteously cursed Prime Minister Ye. Together with everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
