When Qin Bei entered the Yangju Hall, Emperor Xia had already prepared the chessboard.
Obviously he wants to play chess with Qin Bei again.
"Father, my son came here in the middle of the night. He obviously has something serious to discuss. Why did you put the chessboard on the table again? I won't play."
Qin Bei was the only one who refused so decisively.
"You sit down, you sit down. Aren't you very good at everything you learn? Let me see how your chess skills are progressing."
Emperor Xia was not annoyed, but persuaded him.
Qin Bei:....
Having a father who loves to play chess is really not a good thing.
The game between the two on the chessboard soon began.
"You were completely absent-minded when you played this chess game. Tell me, what's going on at this late hour?"
Emperor Xia asked, pretending not to know anything.
When it came to business, Qin Bei's face became serious.
"Father, do you still remember the rules you once set? The royal family needs to pay 10% more for medicinal materials grown by common people. The difference will be filled by the national treasury?"
"Of course I remember this, and I performed it very well. Look at Daxia today, no one can come here without a word of praise, especially the lives of the people."
Emperor Xia said proudly.
"The people live and work in peace and contentment, and mortals don't have to worry about today or tomorrow all the time. There is hope in life. These are all correct, but do you know, Father, that the medicinal materials purchased from them every year are only purchased at 90% of the price? Meiqi
It’s called labor cost, and 10% will be deducted.”
Qin Bei felt angry when he thought of this.
There are reasons for people to complain, but the more reason is because these idiots embezzled money from the national treasury.
He needed the spiritual stone so much, but he didn't dare to embezzle it. This group of people actually went against the odds and committed the crime.
Qin Bei was jealous!
"No, if this was the case, it would have been exposed long ago."
Emperor Xia still pretended not to believe it.
"But these are all things I have heard with my own ears. They dare to do this in villages hundreds of miles away from the imperial city. What about the cities further away? What about the borders? What will be the situation in those places? It is hard for me to imagine.
Please Father, please investigate this matter thoroughly."
"really?"
"really!"
"Okay, I will ask someone to go to court tomorrow to thoroughly investigate this matter. If anyone is involved, I will not tolerate it!"
Seeing Emperor Xia's angry look, Qin Bei smiled.
"why are you laughing?"
"Oh~ No, I just thought of something funny."
"Yeah?"
"Of course, and Father, you lost."
While speaking, Qin Bei dropped a stone, and the white stone he held on the chessboard had already won.
"Oh~ the brat is pretty awesome. He's definitely made some progress."
Emperor Xia put down the chess pieces and praised.
"That's right, but my father's chess skills have declined a bit. I can see it even when the chess handicap is given. It's not detailed enough, so I'll pay attention next time."
Emperor Xia:...
"You brat! Don't I want you to feel the joy of winning and play chess with me more?"
"Tch~ I won't come. If you talk about playing chess now, you might get angry at some point. My body is too small to bear it."
"You haven't done anything bad, so what are you afraid of? Am I the kind of unreasonable person?"
Qin Bei:...
"What's your expression? Have you done something bad again?!"
Looking at Qin Bei's expression, Emperor Xia's heart tightened, feeling that something was wrong.
"Ha~ If it's nothing, please stop guessing, father. If you have other things to do, please leave first."
"You don't look like nothing is wrong. Forget it. For the sake of your report, I will forgive you even if you really made some mistakes. Remember to tell me earlier next time you encounter something like this.
."
Emperor Xia waved his hand and said.
Qin Bei stood up, bowed and prepared to leave.
But before leaving, Qin Bei said, "Next time, I won't come. It will be a waste of time. My father has already known about it, and I should have thought of it. Master Ying is yours. How could this happen?"
I'm hiding it from you."
"Wait a minute, how did you know?"
Emperor Xia frowned and asked.
"My father was not angry when he learned about this incident. He was obviously already angry. He agreed so readily. It seems that he has already started a secret investigation."
Qin Bei said calmly.
He saw the problem just now.
But it didn't matter to him.
No matter who says it, it's the same.
"Now that you know everything, I will ask you directly, haven't you thought about hiding this matter? If you investigate it yourself, the person you want to eliminate may not be able to escape."
Emperor Xia asked the question that concerned him most.
"Father, do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
Qin Bei asked.
"Is it true or false? Let's listen together."
"Simple, in fact, I am deeply aware of the suffering of mortals and do not want them to be exploited for another year."
"What about lies?"
"This is a lie."
Emperor Xia:???
"The truth is that I'm too lazy to do it myself. I've been very busy recently. Customers are coming one after another. Who has the time to care about this? If I have time to investigate secretly, I might as well go to Luofeng Tower to play more.
."
Qin Bei said calmly.
Emperor Xia:???
"Oh~ Is that so? You are indeed honest enough. Come here, bring me the magic whip that I have collected and reward my son with ten lashes."
Qin Bei:....
.......
Late at night, Bei Prince Mansion.
"My lord, what's wrong with you?"
Shang Wubai, who was accustomed to staying up at night, saw Qin Bei returning while wandering around the palace.
At this time, Qin Bei was a little embarrassed, and his walking posture was a little weird.
"It's okay! Listen carefully! You didn't see anything! Do you understand?"
Qin Bei stared at Shang Wubai and said.
"ah?"
"Ah what! Remember it for me! When I am free, I will take you to do something big! Just loot this smelly old man's private treasury!"
Qin Bei's teeth itched with hatred.
Emperor Xia can’t afford to play!
It was obviously the truth he told me.
As a result, after he finished speaking, he was still not happy.
This is the first time Qin Bei has been spanked in his life.
It's still hot now.
"Ah? Isn't this bad? This is a capital crime, implicating nine clans."
"Haha~ Implicate the nine tribes? Then just implicate the nine tribes, whatever you want!"
Qin Bei chuckled.
Implicate the nine tribes? Who dares to implicate his nine tribes in Daxia?
It won't work even if the saint comes.
"Okay, let's wait until I have time to talk about it."
After saying that, Qin Bei walked to his room.
Looking at Qin Bei's back, Shang Wubai kept shaking his head.
