Chaos Sage

Chapter 450 Piette wants to make peace ([-])
I followed Piette to Baohe Building. The owner of Baohe Building nodded and bowed to receive him outside the door. He deserved to be the number one. The money is a lot, and he booked all the big restaurants on the five floors of Baohe Building. When we reached the roof of Baohe Building, we saw a large table of wine and food placed on a round mahogany table, with all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, which opened Ye Xiaoyao's eyes.

After the two of them were seated, besides two beautiful maids pouring wine, only Piette and Ye Xiaoyao were left. Ye Xiaoyao smiled slightly and asked, "Is it true that my lord treats me so much today?" Let Dahl be flattered, I don't like to talk in secret, if you have anything to say, please ask your lord to say it clearly, okay?"

Piette chuckled and said, "There are no outsiders here. These two maidservants are servants of my family, and I will not go around with Dardo anymore. Yes, I really hated you when you testified against Yana. I lost 20 gold coins. But now I don’t blame you, you are also upholding the laws and regulations of the Diss Empire, which is the right thing to do, so after thinking about it, I don’t want to hold grudges against you anymore. It's just to let the two of us make peace, what do you think?"

Ye Xiaoyao smiled faintly. It seems that this old boy knows my identity as the Messenger of Light, otherwise such a big change would not have been possible. I guess he didn't want to be hostile to me in the open, but that's okay, it's more fun to play with a dark knife!

"Since Mr. Piette said so, if I still haggle over every detail with him, I will be ungentlemanly. Well, let's forget about this matter." Ye Xiaoyao said with a smile
When Piette was laughing happily, Ye Xiaoyao went on to say, "But my lord, although I won't make things difficult for you, but if your subordinates do something wrong and I catch them, I still have to take them for you." They did the surgery, and when the time comes, don't blame me."

Piette's face froze, then he chuckled and said, "Of course, if they do something wrong, they will of course be punished. Of course there is no doubt about it. Come on, let's have a drink first, and we can have a good chat." .”

Ye Xiaoyao picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Piette, and after drinking it all in one gulp, Ye Xiaoyao put down the wine glass, watched the maid pour the wine for himself, smiled slightly, and said, "My lord, there are no outsiders here, I would like to ask You have a few questions, please answer them truthfully."

"Of course, nephew, if you want to ask anything, please tell me, and I will answer what I know." Piette laughed
"My lord, I really don't understand. What's the use of you saying you're greedy for so much money?" Ye Xiaoyao asked with a smile
Piette's face changed slightly, and then he put on a smile again, and said, "Nephew, what are you talking about? When have I been greedy for money? You are really joking. This is all a misunderstanding of me by the outside world."

Ye Xiaoyao laughed loudly, and said, "My lord, this is your fault. Here are all your maids. I believe they all know your details. I don't have anyone here to testify. What else is there to be afraid of?" What? I just want to invite me to dinner today and have a heart-to-heart talk with you. You don’t have to be afraid. Besides, I think you know that my father also told me that your majesty knows that you are greedy for money, and also knows you You are as rich as a country, but you are also inseparable from you, and you are also very fond of you, if you don't have any strong handles to be caught by me, even if I want to bring you down, I can't do it, can I?"

Piette smiled faintly, and secretly said, "This Dahl is really powerful. He has analyzed the current situation so clearly just a few days after he entered the inner palace, and he has also captured His Majesty, as well as my thoughts and mentality. He is really a smart man. "

"What? Is Master Piette still unwilling to have a heart-to-heart talk with me, the North City Lord? If not, then let's end our conversation today." Ye Xiaoyao made a gesture to leave after finishing speaking.

"Hey!" Piette quickly called Ye Xiaoyao to stop, and said with a smile, "Nephew, since that's the case, I'll have a heart-to-heart talk with my nephew. Anyway, there's nothing wrong with making peace and telling the truth. In all these years, I have never spoken the truth to anyone.”

Ye Xiaoyao chuckled, sat down and said, "That's right."

"You kid really has a way, you can make me speak the truth, even your father and Shi Xin can't do it, but you have been in the inner hall for a few days, let me make peace with you, and you have to Tell you something from the bottom of my heart, I really deserve to be Angel's son." Piette said with a faint smile

"My lord, don't tell me your flattery. I am very disgusted with this kind of flattery. The reason why you suddenly changed your attitude towards me today is because you know that I have become the messenger of light." ?” Ye Xiaoyao laughed
Piette smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's smart enough. Indeed, I knew about it. I was taken aback at first, and I came to you immediately. After all, if you want to be hostile to you in the open, the Holy Court of Light will It won’t make me feel better. Even though we are enemies, I still hope that our two important enemies in the inner temple can be proper friends.” Piette laughed
"Haha... my lord, this is too serious for you. I don't have the good fortune to be your friend. I think it's better to be your enemy." Ye Xiaoyao laughed loudly.

"Whether you are an enemy or a friend, this is all for the Holy Court of Light. At least now we are all important ministers of the Dis Empire. There is no harm in relaxing the relationship, right?" Piette said.
"Don't worry, although I am an emissary of light, I don't want the Holy Court of Light to intervene too much in the Diss Empire. I will not let them deal with you. Besides, I know that the Empire cannot do without you, the Minister of Internal Affairs. .” Ye Xiaoyao laughed
"Okay! I'm relieved now, come here, I'll toast you." Piette raised his glass and laughed

Ye Xiaoyao raised his glass again, and after drinking it all in one gulp, he asked, "My lord, you haven't answered my question yet."

"Hehe, actually, your question is easy to answer. I want to ask you, what do you think is the most important thing in the short decades of your life? Of course, the most important thing is to enjoy life. If you don't have money, how can you enjoy life? Why did you come to this banquet? Do you know that the banquet I invited you today cost me a hundred gold coins, which is a year's worth of gold coins for ordinary low-level officials." Piette sighed

"But do you feel that you are enjoying life? Yes, you do have a lot of money, but I know very well that you don't have the heart to be an emperor. Every day you flatter the emperor, manage your subordinates, intimidate the officials, and think of schemes all day long. My father and my father-in-law grabbed you, don't you feel tired?" Ye Xiaoyao asked with a smile
Piette smiled bitterly, and said, "How can you not be tired? Do you think it's so easy to be a woman? Do you think it's so easy to make money? But without money, what can you do? In this world, If you have a high level of cultivation, then you will gain respect and awe, your father is like this, or you are talented, just like your father-in-law Shi Xin, or you are wealthy and use money to stand at the top, Let the ministers curry favor with you, tell me, which one should I choose?"

"Indeed, you are no match for my father in terms of cultivation, and you are not as good as my father-in-law in terms of talent, so the only way left is to make money. But my lord, you have enough money now. You are also standing at the top of the Dis Empire, why do you still not earn enough?" Ye Xiaoyao asked
Piette took a sip of his wine and said with a smile, "Boy, you were born into a good family, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, you have money, and you have a reputation, and now you are the lord of the North City and one of His Majesty's favorites. What are you doing?" Can you understand my thoughts?"

"Hehe, my lord, please tell me something that I can understand." Ye Xiaoyao said with a smile
"This money is a good thing. It is useful at any time. In this world, you can ask anyone who can't live with money? Who doesn't like money? Pull out one and let me see. Let's talk about your North City, If you didn’t have my 20 at the beginning, and you later sold those magic crystals in the Hell Forest, why would you turn Beicheng into the bustling area of ​​the current imperial capital? Do you dare to say that you don’t love money?” Piette asked
Ye Xiaoyao said with a smile, "I really don't think too much money is too much, but a gentleman loves money and seeks it in the right way. He will not collect people's wealth and take bribes like you."

"Corruption and bribery? Haha... kid, or I say that you are not a deep-rooted man. In this continent, there is no way. If you have money, you are the way. Who cares how you earn it. If you make money, it is yours." As for how you got it, no one will care about you. Even if I have countless money, I still don't think too much, because it may not be at any time, it will be of great use, even if there is no such time, I will It can also be used to indulge life."

"Hehe, I don't agree with your theory. Anyway, I only know that a lot of your money is the blood and sweat of ordinary people, and even stained with other people's blood." Ye Xiaoyao shook his head and smiled.
"Dahl, let me tell you the truth today. There are many gangsters on this continent, but few honest officials. I don't want to be a gangster. Do you want to be an honest official? I don't rely on those gangsters. Do you think I can do it? Are you sitting on the post of Minister of the Interior? Let me tell you, if I have no money and no power, I will be thrown out by these people immediately, do you believe it or not?" Piette said
Ye Xiaoyao nodded and said, "I believe it, but my lord, you have lived a miserable life. You have no friends, no confidantes. Even if you fight alone without anyone to say a confidant, it is considered a Poor enough."

"Are you sympathizing with me?" Piette asked.
"No, I won't sympathize with poor people. Most poor people must have something to hate, so I won't sympathize with you. I just think your life is too pathetic. Then I will ask you another question, this time Arnold How much did you charge for the matter?" Ye Xiaoyao asked
"Why are you asking this? You want to trick me?" Piette asked vigilantly

Ye Xiaoyao laughed, and said, "There are no outsiders here, so what's the use of those who don't? If you don't want to tell me, forget it, just pretend I didn't ask."

"Oh, to tell you the truth, I'm not afraid. You really have no evidence, and you can't say anything about me. Besides, His Majesty still favors me a little more. Since you asked, I'll tell you. Arnold will honor me a little every month. , but I don’t know that he snatched all the money, and I only collected a few hundred thousand gold coins for helping him this time.” Piette said truthfully

"A little one hundred thousand gold coins? These one hundred thousand gold coins can make thousands of families live a happy life for a year. How much do you say? It seems that adults really don't treat money as money. But I still advise you, Return the money to Yano as soon as possible, you can't help him with this matter." Ye Xiaoyao laughed
