Domineering space queen

Chapter 482
Shutong slapped the dark guard away, and stood in front of Duke Li with a smile on his face.

Looking at the smiling woman, Li Guogong felt cold in his heart, and he forced himself to be calm.

"You, what are you going to do?"

Shutong sneered, "I want a debt, do you dare not accept it?"

Of course Li Guogong didn't admit it, but right now he was at a disadvantage, the most powerful hidden guard was thrown out by her slap, lying on the ground not knowing whether he was alive or dead, he didn't dare to be too tough.

"No money!"

He didn't say that he would admit the debt, he just said that he had no money. After all, he was the hereditary prince of the country, and I believe that Princess Zhen wouldn't dare to do anything to him!

Shutong looked at it with a smile, "I have no money! Then use your things to pay the debt!"

He waved his hand at Mr. Qian, "How much money do they owe?"

Master Qian hurriedly said: "Duke Li has owed a total of 3806 million taels of silver to the treasury for several generations!"

"Oh, you brought someone to search the warehouse, and everything was sold at a discount!" Shutong thought to himself that this mansion is luxurious, and there may be good things!
Mr. Qian felt that things were going to make a big fuss today, but the Eldest Princess had spoken, so he was not afraid!
Arrange your men and prepare to do it.

Li Guogong's face was dark, "Stop it! Are you going to rob the house?"

Shutong curled her lips and said: "You can't say that, we just came to demand the debt with the IOU, so why don't you pay it back? If you don't have money, you can pay with your belongings!"

He turned his head and waved to the people watching the excitement outside the gate. That's right, the gate of the Duke's Mansion is open at this moment, and there are many people watching the excitement.

These are all Shutong's special invitations. Since they want to pay, it's not just a family or two.

This is the first shot to be fired, kill chickens to warn monkeys, let them know that they are afraid, maybe they will take the initiative to pay back the money later!
There are not only ordinary people at the gate, but also housekeepers and servants of other officials and eunuchs.

Hearing that the Minister of the Household Department invited Princess Zhen Guozhang to come to Li Guogong's mansion to ask for debts, everyone has an attitude of watching the fun!

I didn't expect that the princess of the town was so arrogant that she ruled Duke Li and even hurt someone!
Shutong spoke uprightly, "It's only natural to pay off debts since ancient times. Let's take a look! Their family won't pay back their debts, so shouldn't we use things as collateral!"

The people outside did not say a word, and the second master had already called the bandits to make a fuss, "It's really shameless to owe a debt and not pay it back. We country people know how to pay our debts, so why is this big family in the capital so shameless?" !"

"Shut up! Where did the yellow-mouthed kid come to my house to act wildly!"

The old lady figured out what was going on, angrily, and stepped forward leaning on a walking stick.

Relying on his age, he is not afraid of any town princess!
Fearing that she might make a mistake, the daughters-in-law hurriedly helped her.

The old lady scolded, "Quickly release the Duke!"

Seeing the old lady's wrinkled face and fierce eyes, Shutong smiled and said, "The old lady has also come out, that's just right, the masters are all here, let's talk about how to pay back the money!"

The old lady's face was trembling, and she hummed: "What debts? I don't know at all, but I would like to go to His Majesty to ask, is Your Majesty going to attack our honorable family?"

Princess Anshun took a step forward, "We're just here to ask for a bill, what are you talking about?"

When the female relatives saw Princess Anshun speak, their eyes froze. Why did these two come here? Didn't they have a falling out with the eldest princess?
"It turns out that the two princesses are coming here, and I am too far away to welcome you. Why don't we sit down in the back hall and talk slowly!" the Duke's wife said.

The old lady was more satisfied with her daughter-in-law's tone, but unfortunately the two princesses ignored her and looked at Shutong instead.

The straight-forward attitude made the women's family suspicious.

Shutong looked at the wives one by one, seeing that they were well dressed, he was more satisfied.

Squinting his eyes and smiling, he said, "There's no rush to reminisce about the past, let's talk about paying back the money first, 3806 million taels! Your Majesty is waiting for the money, so hurry up and pay back the money!"

The old lady said with a sullen face, "Let the Duke go first!"

Shutong waved his hand, and the bandit let go immediately.

When Li Guogong regained his freedom, he was immediately protected by his own soldiers.

He glared coldly at the Minister of the Household Department, "Master Qian, what is your intention today?"

Lord Qian looked serious, "I am here to assist the Eldest Princess in collecting debts, I hope the Duke will cooperate!"

Li Guogong's teeth were itchy, "If you have the ability, show me the imperial decree!"

However, Mr. Qian was not in a hurry, and he really took out a bright yellow imperial decree from his cuffs, and he was clever enough to go to His Majesty to ask for it.

"It's okay to ask for an imperial edict! To be honest, Your Majesty has explained to me before that the Duke is not an outsider, and it would hurt his face to ask for an account with the imperial edict. Unfortunately, if the Duke doesn't cooperate, then I can't do anything about it." !"

After finishing speaking, he coughed solemnly and unfolded the imperial decree, "The imperial decree has arrived! Lord Li accepts the decree!"

Everyone was stunned, there is really an imperial decree!
I have no choice but to kneel down to accept the order!
Mr. Qian eloquently read out the imperial decree, to the effect that the treasury is short of money, the emperor can't even eat, these ministers can't patronize him, it's time to pay back the money!

Let the household department cooperate with the princess of the town to keep accounts!

Master Qian received the imperial edict, with a sullen face, "The Duke of the country accepts the edict!"

Duke Li lowered his eyes to cover the hatred in his eyes.

"The minister accepts the order!"

"I've also read the imperial decree. Shall we discuss how to pay back the money?" Master Qian was doing business.

The people who watched the excitement at the door saw that he really took out the imperial decree, and the discussion became louder again.

Li Guogong gritted his teeth, "Please come into the room and discuss in detail!"

Lord Qian didn't say anything, but looked at Shutong instead.

At the moment, Shutong's eyes are staring at the old lady's forehead. She is wearing a swastika pattern to wipe her forehead, and a piece of green jadeite the size of a pigeon egg is sewn in the middle.

"Don't bother, just say it here, if you have money, pay it back directly, and we have to leave the house!"

The corners of Li Guogong's mouth twitched, and the excuse was still the same, "I am ashamed of Your Majesty! It's a pity that I have enough energy to spare, and I don't have much money to pay back!"

Mr. Qian knew that he would not be able to hand it over easily, "Oh, how much can the Duke repay this time?"

Since King Zhennan was suppressed, Li Guogong has not had an easy life. Now that Hengxuan has issued an imperial decree, he gritted his teeth and said, "Curry can barely scrape together 100 million taels of silver. I really can't do anything more!"

Hearing that he wanted to pay 100 million taels, the female relatives disagreed, but when the family members said it, they could only bleed with distress!

Mr. Qian didn't expect to ask for 100 million taels, and he was very happy.

He didn't expect to get all the money back at first, but Princess Zhen Guo was still there, so he naturally wanted to ask.

"Princess, look...!"

Shutong smiled brightly, "It doesn't matter if you don't have cash, there should be a lot of valuables in the warehouse, and the estimated value is the same!"

After finishing speaking, she slowly walked up to the old lady, "It's pretty expensive for the ladies to wear gold and silver jewelry, and it can be converted into taels of silver!"

Mrs. Li Guogong was furious, "This is my dowry!"

Shutong curled her lips and said, "You are married, so you are naturally a member of this family, so what's the point!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand to pick off the gem from Mrs. Tai's forehead, and weighed it in his hand.

"Master Qian, let's see how much this is worth?"
