Stop acting, Your Majesty, the queen knows you're faking it

Chapter 456 You Can't Take It By Force, Right?

"50 taels?" Chi Xinian took the bank note, looked at the denomination on it, and couldn't help but smirk ironically, "You and your wife probably didn't hear what I just said, what I asked you for is you A fine of 500 taels owed to the Ministry of Penalties.

"The Ministry of Criminal Justice has given you this money for more than a year, and today, I am here to settle the account.

"What does the word liquidation mean, you two should know it well?"

"But, but we really have no money..." The Liu family and his wife looked at each other, and they both saw determination in each other's eyes.

At that time, they found their backer in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and exchanged favors for a chance to delay paying the fine, wasn't it just to save the money?

The Liu family could afford 500 taels of silver, but if it was taken out immediately, it would be very painful.

If they could, they would say nothing and would not pay the money.

It has been more than a year on the side of the Ministry of punishment, and the matter is about to turn over.At this time, Chi Xinian came to ask for the bill again, how could they cut their flesh so easily?
Both of them thought, if they take a gamble, they will bet on the empress to save face, so it is impossible to get entangled with the two ordinary people at the gate of the mansion!

As long as they burst into tears, cry out that they have no money to make a noise, and attract the attention of the neighbors around...then even if the queen has official documents, there will be nothing they can do about it!

After all, she is constrained by her status as a queen, so she can't do anything too outrageous.

If they don't budge, what can she do?
No way, grab it by force?
The Liu family and his wife had this idea in their hearts, and then, the couple joined hands and threw themselves at Chi Xinian's feet, shouting: "Empress, you really don't understand what 500 taels of silver means to us ordinary people!
"Take out 50 taels at a time, which is the limit of our family!
"Our husband and wife promise that we will pay back the fine slowly, but please be flexible and let our family live!
"We have already paid for the medical expenses of the injured, and the rest is just some fines for violating the curfew and smashing public property.

"This... the imperial court has always been lenient. These fines that do not affect other people's livelihood can always be collected slowly!"

The more the two talked, the louder their voices were, and at the same time, they described themselves more miserable.

In their mouth, they are just ordinary people who accidentally violated the ban.Although they did something wrong and hurt others, they also spent the medical money immediately, and reconciled with each other honestly and dutifully.

The rest that has not been paid is nothing but the penalty silver in the terms of the law.

The imperial court is lenient, and when calling for this part of the money, it has never forced people to death.If Chi Xinian must drive the whole family to death because of this little money today, then she is going against the original intention of the court and only caring about herself and ignoring others.

"You two can be eloquent." Chi Xinian couldn't help but sneer when he heard the people quietly peeping around talking about it, "When you say that, it seems like you won't let you go, let you take it easy With the opportunity to raise money, Ben Gong is a bad guy."

"How can your empress be a bad person? You are the heroine of our Dajing, and you have a reputation of benevolence and love for the people. The grass people admire you and want to cooperate with you to pay this fine, but this... this is not a shame. Well…"

Liu Quansheng smiled apologetically: "Don't worry, when Caomin's shop makes money, it will make up the fine money it owes as soon as possible!"

He has decided that Chi Xinian is too embarrassed to collect debts again.
