The regent's little Jiaojiao is so troublesome

Chapter 720 That's Not a Market Strike, It's a Closing
Emperor Chu turned his eyes slightly, and looked at Bai Yingying: "Princess Qin, did Master Lu admit his mistake?"

Bai Yingying pursed her lips tightly, and was thinking of how to argue, but she heard the Empress Dowager next to Emperor Chu say: "Princess Qin, it is the emperor who is asking you, you have to think clearly before answering, don't rely on the words of the child For your favor, dare to openly deceive the king."

Bai Yingying knew that she couldn't hide it today, so she stood up and bowed to Emperor Chu: "Your Majesty, Lord Lu did not admit his mistake, and the concubine is indeed Young Master Bai who cooperated with Lord Lu that day."

Emperor Chu asked: "So Jiulixiang is also your handwriting?"

Bai Yingying carefully considered her words before she said, "Jiulixiang was indeed created by my concubine."

"Bold Concubine Qin, dare to instigate merchants in Jinling to stop the market. It is a crime of conspiracy. Please the emperor punish Princess Qin to death."

The previous strike caused disturbances all over the city. Except for those who came back from the south, everyone in the temple felt the same way.

People in Jinling City also have eyes. Although Bai Yingying was cautious, everyone knew that Jiulixiang played an unusual role in it.

However, not everyone knows the owner of Jiulixiang behind the scenes.

Now that Bai Yingying's identity has been exposed, most of the people in the court are human beings, and they immediately think of the previous strike.

It seems that the strike at that time was probably not Qin Wangfei's handwriting at all. Only His Highness Qin Wang has such a neat and responsive wrist.

Bai Yingying knew that when things had developed to this point, it wasn't that she could deny the past because she didn't admit it.

After all, it is very simple to check this matter, just ask a few merchants at random.

Although she has a detached status in the eyes of merchants in Jinling City, it does not guarantee that everyone will keep this secret for her.

What's more, she can't just watch others make unnecessary sacrifices for her.

Bai Yingying rolled her eyeballs and smiled slightly: "Master Feng, you're being serious, but it's just for everyone to take a break from the market together. How can you talk about rebellion?"

"Take a break? You're talking nonsense!" Feng Qiu turned to Emperor Chu: "Your Majesty, don't be fooled by Princess Qin's eloquent tongue?"

Bai Yingying also turned to Emperor Chu: "Master Feng, according to what you mean, do you mean that the emperor has no eyes to distinguish right from wrong?"

Emperor Chu's expression turned cold immediately, and he glanced at Feng Qiuliang: "Feng Aiqing, step back first."

Feng Qiu had no choice but to give Bai Yingying a hard look, and then sat down angrily.

Emperor Chu: "Princess Qin, although strikes are not counted as treason, but the crime of disturbing the order of Jinling is enough."

Bai Yingying said calmly: "Your Majesty, it was not a strike, but a market closure. As for the reason for the closure, the Emperor can ask Mr. Lu to find out."

Emperor Chu immediately looked at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan was tongue-tied: "Your Majesty, my humble minister..."

He only said four words, and Bai Yingying interrupted him: "Your Majesty, if it is difficult for Mr. Lu to say it, it's okay for me to say it. At that time, Mr. Lu charged too much taxes to the merchants in Jinling City. Everyone just opens the door. When doing business, someone will come to collect taxes every now and then.

Everyone has no choice but to increase the price of commodities. However, the money in the hands of ordinary people is limited. After raising the prices of commodities, no one will come to buy them.

As long as the merchants open their doors to do business, they will lose money and face huge taxes. In this way, everyone can't do business and can only close their doors. "
