Chapter 59 Working to Pay Off Debt
Xie Lingjiao is not very good at arithmetic.
But she doesn't like owing things to others.
Wei Ling asked someone to scare her, so she stepped on him and soiled his clothes, so it was even.
If that's it, it doesn't matter if she's gone.
But that jade pendant...
Xie Lingjiao was pretending to be worried, she wilted, and walked to the Yamen.
Wei Ling is still there.
Xie Lingjiao lost her angry attitude last time, sat down in the same position without any energy, and moved her lips, "Yupei...how do you want me to compensate?"
Ask this question.
The deep sorrow and resentment that enveloped Xie Lingjiao's heart finally opened up and began to show signs of dissipating.
"Miss Xie."
Wei Ling was not surprised by her sudden appearance.
He is still calm.
Made a pot of tea for Xie Lingjiao.
"Historical records state that thirty years ago, the Dalong Dynasty had high taxes, unstable borders, and constant corvee labor. It was not until His Majesty succeeded to the throne and worked hard to govern that we achieved the stability we have today."
I found it when I calmed down.
Not only does he look good, he also has a decent voice.
But, what does the Dalong Dynasty thirty years ago have to do with her?
She is only seventeen this year!
As if he could understand what she was saying, Wei Li slowly explained: "Taxes that are too high will result in civilians getting nothing after hard work. If they are unlucky, they may also be in debt."
Interracial conflicts and unstable borders.
It’s not just the people on the border who are at risk.
Weapons and food are needed to fight the war... If the national treasury has no money, it will naturally increase taxes.
Not to mention corvee labor.
Given the choice, most civilians would not want to be drafted into service.
"If we were under the rule of such a court, I think Miss Xie's family would not be peaceful."
Wei Ling's words were a statement rather than a rhetorical question.
He was sure that the Xie family would be in danger.
Xie Lingjiao raised her head and pursed her lips: "Then, why is there no peace in my family?"
Wei Ling: "The third young master Xie is very handsome. As his descendants, the descendants of the Xie family are all good-looking."
It means that their family members are good-looking.
This is the truth, Xie Lingjiao likes to hear it.
His face looks much better.
Her mood changes are easy to watch.
Wei Ling calmly took in her transformation in his eyes, with a hint of a smile that no one could detect.
He continued: "Only wise and responsible rulers can open up the Qingming era, and only then can Miss Xie and your family live a more stable life. If the ruler cannot do this, then who will suffer..."
Aren't they just ordinary people like them!
Xie Lingjiao understood a little bit.
"So?" What kind of prince do you want me to save?
Is he capable?
Xie Lingjiao has never met the prince, so she doesn't know whether he is smart or not. But she knows one thing, "It's not because he is a relative of yours that you lied to me to treat him, right?"
She looked wary.
Wei Ling smiled slightly.
In an instant.
The fish have sunk, the geese have fallen, and the moon that has not come out yet can’t be seen is hiding, so all flowers are shy...is this what you mean?
Xie Lingjiao, who had not had much appetite for the past two days, saw his face up close.
The appetite just came.
She felt like she could eat a cow now.
"Is there food? Give me some."
She's not picky about food either.
She eats anything delicious.
On the contrary, if she doesn't think it tastes good, she won't touch the ingredients no matter how expensive they are.
"Wait a moment."
People in Wei Ling are quick in their work.
The food was served quickly.
Xie Lingjiao picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, and asked Wei Ling not to stop: "Don't worry about me, you continue talking."
Wei Ling was born into a noble family, and the etiquette he was taught since childhood did not allow him to speak while eating.
But Xie Lingjiao clearly looked like she didn't want to hear it if she didn't want to hear it now or later.
"Ms. Xie." Wei Ling is not a rigid person.
Adapt on the spot.
He said: "I seem to have never told you that I want to ask you to help treat my... relatives."
The last two words are very faint. It was imitated by Xie Lingjiao.
Xie Lingjiao: Didn’t you say that?
She didn't bother to remember.
Swallowing what was in his mouth, he said nonsense: "Not a relative of yours? Are you so concerned about not being a relative?"
"You are not allowed to be honest and selfless?"
"You?" Xie Lingjiao didn't even raise her head, "It doesn't look like that."
It's not that Wei Ling is a bad person.
Apart from the poor subjective impression, Wei Ling gave Xie Lingjiao a good feeling.
He is a good man.
But he's not the kind who helps out just for the smallest things.
In other words, he does great things.
Even without the warning given by her fourth cousin, Xie Lingjiao didn't think he would let her save any ordinary person. Either a relative of his family, or someone who has a great influence on the entire human environment.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The prince has both.
It's not surprising that Wei Ling is so eager.
Mr. Xie Lingjiao does not remember the faults of villains, "I will first write down your threats to me in a small book, and you will have to compensate me later."
This is easy to handle.
Wei Ling agreed.
Xie Lingjiao: "And that jade pendant, how do you want me to compensate you?"
In fact, the jade pendant was not broken because she pulled it off.
That piece of jade is not that easy to break.
It's not that easy to fall out.
Wei Ling did everything himself.
While she was pulling him, Wei Li broke the jade pendant and framed it on Xie Lingjiao - this person was difficult to catch, so Wei Li asked her to enter the capital voluntarily.
The result was just as they found before.
This is a simple and easy-to-deceive woman.
I delivered it to my door today.
Seeing Xie Lingjiao jumping into the trap, Wei Li took action for the first time and brought her food, "Eat more."
"I'm not short of money, I don't need you to do much."
"As long as you come with me to the capital to see my cousin's illness, this matter will be wiped out."
Just take a look?
Don’t you want her to treat you?
Xie Lingjiao took out a small notebook and asked Wei Ling to write clearly.
Come up with some kind of work-for-debt contract.
However, she has only heard of such things as contracts, and she doesn't know how to deal with them.
Wei Ling: "If Miss Xie is worried, I can make a contract with you."
Xie Lingjiao was satisfied after getting the deed that could offset the arrears of 30,000 taels upon entering Beijing.
Even looking at Wei Lian feels quite pleasing to the eye.
He also took the initiative to ask: "You don't want me to treat you? If you don't write it down, I won't care!"
"That's another price."
Wei Ling has already used a trick to force her to go to Beijing.
Too much is not enough.
He was not prepared to defraud the little girl of the medical fee.
But, "Miss Xie must have learned about His Highness's injury from the notice at the city gate. I wonder how certain you are about His Highness's illness?"
"Ten points!"
Xie Lingjiao is very confident.
There is no disease in this world that she cannot cure!
Unless there was too little time, she would have been completely cold by the time she arrived.
This kind of thing cannot be saved.
I don’t have that strength right now.
"Then I'll bother you with this matter." Wei Li asked his subordinates to take out the gold that had been prepared in advance.
The success made Xie Lingjiao feel a lot better.
"Master."
The tall subordinate appears again.
Wei Ling: "She knows my identity...check Xie Qiongshu again and be more careful."
"Yes."
The order was given.
Subordinates execute quickly.
Wei Ling stood in the courtyard, looking at the direction Xie Lingjiao was going back.
"Xie family..."
"I hope I can..." cure His Highness.
