Their actions... were actually a habit.
After all, it was an order from His Majesty, and it was personally given by the eunuch.
There was always a need to go through the motions.
They did not even feel that there was anything wrong with what they had done before. Now that Xiao Yun had pointed it out, they knew that their actions were indeed a little reckless.
Leng Feng quickly came over and said with a bitter face, "About that... Young Master Xiao, everyone knows about the relationship between our Xiao Leng family. You can't let me..."
"Pooh!"
Xiao Yun spat on him and said with a cold smile, "I have a good relationship with the Leng family, but what does that have to do with you? You, a junior, want to represent the Leng family? You think you are worthy? "
"I..." Leng Feng was about to go crazy. He hurriedly apologized and bowed. If it wasn't for the presence of an outsider, he would have knelt down!
This group of people naturally knew that Xiao Yun was trying to extort them!
According to the value he said, even if he sold them, they would not be able to afford it.
He didn't care if these things were real or fake. In any case, if Xiao Yun said they were real, then it was real!
In this aspect, who would suspect a Saint Xiao?
After all, Xiao Yun didn't agree to forgive them. The only compromise was that he didn't continue to smash his own things.
Xiao Huai'en had already stood outside.
Looking at the teapot that had been smashed, his heart ached. But thinking about it carefully, the teapot in the room... Didn't I buy it before? At that time, the house should have been replaced, so he directly bought a car. A car only cost four yuan...
Why did it become such a precious thing in Xiao Yun's mouth?
And that vase. It was a fake. It was a fake antique, but the handiwork was very poor. It could be considered as filling up the gap in the furniture. How did it become a treasure?
As for the book in the box... It was an ancient book, but it was the work of the ancestors of the Xiao family. No one would read it outside!
If the ancestors saw someone kneeling down for this book, they would be relieved.
Because he was afraid that His Majesty would be anxious, Xiao Yun did not torture them too much.
Of course, the matter of these two treasures still had to be counted on them!
At that time, how they would escape from this predicament would depend on their own luck.
When he arrived at the Imperial Palace, the first thing he said when he saw His Majesty was, "Your Majesty, the peasants have been wronged!"
His Majesty was stunned by his words. He asked curiously, "What injustice do you have?"
Xiao Yun immediately told His Majesty about the Imperial Guards rushing into his home and breaking his two supreme treasures.
This caused the corner of His Majesty's eyes to twitch violently.
"Your family has such a good thing? "
Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Your majesty, the Xiao family has been passed down for so many years. It seems that they have some connections in the martial arts world. It's just a few treasures, it's not a big deal. Besides, some treasures are only worth money if someone knows about them. These treasures are very rare. Although they are extremely precious, they are not appraised on the market. "
"Is that so..."
His Majesty touched his forehead.
He had a headache.
Because he suddenly realized that no matter which time he wanted to talk to Xiao Yun about something, he would fall into Xiao Yun's rhythm before he could say anything.
The grapes from before were the bedding, and now this antique was.
But what could he do?
They were in the right.
"Then do you think Zhen should compensate you?"
Xiao Yun said, feeling wronged, "How would I dare to ask His Majesty to compensate me? However, since there were two treasures missing in his home, he naturally felt depressed and sad. If he gets sick because of this, it's hard to say... Aiya, the peasant now feels that his chest is stuffy."
The corner of His Majesty's eyes twitched for a while, then he sighed and said," Alright then. For the things in my room, take away two of them if you like them. These things of mine are not any worse than those of yours. "
In fact, if what Xiao Yun said was true, then there really was nothing more valuable than those things. After all, His Majesty was actually quite thrifty in this aspect.
But who didn't know that those were all fake? Were all of these words of Xiao Yun spouting nonsense?
If it was true, he would smash it just like that. Then, he would smash his own character, and his reputation among the people.
Xiao Yun hurriedly nodded his head in agreement, and his gaze swept back and forth in the room.
His Majesty looked at him, and discovered that his gaze was always on the few artifacts that he liked. His heart tightened, and he somewhat regretted his generosity from before.
At the same time, in order to not let him speak immediately, His Majesty directly asked, "But speaking of which, Xiao Yun, do you still care about those items? You are now the richest man in the world, not to mention the entire Great Qin Country. You are the richest man in the world. "
His tone turned gloomy as he finished his words.
Xiao Yun was stunned and sighed.
He knew that this was the reason why His Majesty was so anxious to let him enter the Palace.
"Sigh, I'm afraid there will be a thief who will say bad things about the peasants in front of the king again. The peasants are rich? What kind of money can the peasants have? First, they don't have official positions, and second, they don't have any business. They eat at home, some of the things they like. They are all gifts from friends, the only ones that can be considered their own... It was the field that His Majesty had bestowed upon him, but it was also... After such a long time, he still did not fulfill his promise. Sigh. How can the peasants have money? "
"Humph!"
His Majesty rolled his eyes at him.
Wasn't this meant for him to hear?
"Zhen is talking about you, but you are blaming Zhen. Do you really think Zhen doesn't know?"
As he spoke, His Majesty directly threw the booklet in front of Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun bent over to pick it up and put it in front of his eyes to take a look.
At the same time, His Majesty also narrowed his eyes and looked at him.
He really wanted to see the panicked expression on Xiao Yun's face, and then he would be so scared that he would directly kneel in front of him... That kind of feeling would definitely be very good!
But who knew that Xiao Yun would directly sigh and then laugh coldly. He waved his hand to shake the pamphlet and said coldly, "Your Majesty, just this?"
"Hmph! It is clearly written on it, how much money did you use to scrape away the ointment of the people? If this continues, all the money in the world will belong to you! I have asked you before, what exactly do you want to do? "
Xiao Yun sighed helplessly once more.
As expected, the barrier of knowledge was even more terrifying than the gap between them.
"Your Majesty, the money recorded here is not a single cent of the peasants' money! The peasants have high morals and integrity. They are the only people in the entire Depository of Gold who do not have any money. They also do not have any income to speak of."
"Isn't this all your money? "
"This..." Xiao Yun smiled bitterly. "Your majesty, even if you think highly of the peasants, you want to give them all the money. Even if you say it with words, it is not easy to use it. This money belongs to the people of the world, the people cannot own it. Your Majesty, the same goes for you."
"Hm? What do you mean?"
His Majesty didn't quite understand, but he couldn't help but feel curious when he saw Xiao Yun's confident tone.
It seemed there must be something he didn't understand.
But... he wouldn't admit it if he didn't understand!
"Tell me in detail!"
His Majesty shouted coldly.
Xiao Yun looked around and found himself a seat to sit down.
Then he said, "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of money, in the eyes of those who do not understand, it was the grass civilian money that exchanged all the money of the people in the world into his hands. The people did not pay much. They only got some money, and then what? These large amounts of copper coins, gold, silver, and treasures were all stored in the grass people's pockets. But in reality, the truly profitable areas of the grasslanders were actually only the tools and medicinal herbs that the grasslanders sold. As for the gold coins that the commoners exchanged... will they never come to exchange for copper coins?"
" Hmm? "
His Majesty frowned.
He did not ask, because now that he asked, it seemed like he did not know anything.
Xiao Yun was also very self-aware and said directly, "Your Majesty, the gold notes are not goods, but a form of proof. A proof that the people put money in my place, they can take it away at any time. Just like your majesty put gold in the depository, does that mean gold belongs to the peasants? Of course not! Weren't they still His Majesty's? As long as His Majesty needs them, they can be taken away. Thus, although it seemed like the people had sent the money in, they had actually saved it. And the depository only protected them. If the peasants used the money on their own, if they used too much... Once all the commoners came to extort money, the peasants would not be able to take out their original money to count. Wouldn't the commoners just bite the peasants to death? "
Xiao Yun sighed and said, "That is why the civilians did not give the money to His Majesty. Because whether it was His Majesty or the officials, they did not give the money to His Majesty. That is why they did not hand the money over to His Majesty. The peasants asked if the gold and silver were in His Majesty's hands. If there was a disaster in the land, would His Majesty use the money to aid the disaster? If there is a war at the border, will His Majesty use them to fight? "
" Of course. "
His Majesty answered without thinking.
"See..." Xiao Yun helplessly scratched his head, then suddenly looked up and said seriously, "Only those who see them and do not use them on their own will have the right to look at them!"
