Chapter 173 Debt Collection(1/2)

King Xuan's army marched out at the same time, and it was a mighty journey. Why worry about safety on the road?

It didn't take long before we arrived in Xingzhou.

Xue Qingyin has not forgotten the order written by the Queen Mother.

This is not Xingzhou, this is clearly a treasure house containing 800,000 taels.

A full eight hundred thousand dollars.

As the carriage drove toward the city, Xue Qingyin asked King Xuan: "Who is Qian Zixu? Does Your Highness know?"

A strange look appeared on Prince Xuan's usually expressionless face.

"A... fool." He said.

Before King Xuan could explain in detail why this man was so confused, Fang Chengzhong's voice sounded from outside: "Your Highness, Yun Yizi wants to see you."

"Yun Yizi? He sounds like a Taoist priest." Xue Qingyin guessed.

"That's Qian Zixu." King Xuan said.

"Ah? So Qian Zixu is a Taoist priest?"

"Not only is he a Taoist priest, he is also a monk, with the name of Buddha helping the poor."

Xue Qingyin's head was filled with questions.

At this time, King Xuan raised the curtain of the carriage.

I saw an old man walking quickly from a distance, kneeling down in front of King Xuan's carriage and bowing down.

Then he shouted at the top of his lungs: "I heard that His Majesty King Xuan has come to Xingzhou, so I came here to greet you. Please stay at your humble abode and entertain me with some bean soup."

After the old man finished speaking, he carefully raised his head.

He has a dark face, his hair is tied up in a bun, and the cloth is roughly tied up.

He looks neither like a Taoist priest nor a monk, but like a farmer.

"He... doesn't look like he's rich." Xue Qingyin said hesitantly.

But she soon overturned this guess.

After all, in modern society, there are often ordinary charterers wearing cloth shoes, carrying plastic bags, and driving luxury cars to collect rent.

Don't judge people by their appearance.

"Your Highness, please rest at his home for two days before leaving." Xue Qingyin said.

"Yinyin, you don't want to go to his house."

No, it made her even more curious.

Xue Qingyin's eyes were sparkling, innocent yet firm. She looked at him and said, "Go."

King Xuan: "..." "Then go."

Xue Qingyin said: "That's 800,000 yuan worth of money."

"What money?"

Xue Qingyin showed him the Queen Mother's order.

King Xuan said coldly: "The Queen Mother's move is really difficult. How can you get money? She is not willing to empty her own treasury, but she also wants to express your gratitude."

Xue Qingyin shook her head: "I won't be grateful to her. If I get the money, it's all my own fault."

King Xuan was helpless and asked her: "Do you really want to ask for money?"

"Yeah." Xue Qingyin nodded.

"Then please stay a few more days, and I'll ask my father to write a warrant as well."

Xue Qingyin cried out in surprise: "He won't pay back the money he owes the emperor, right?"

"Yinyin, you are so smart."

"…………"

Xue Qingyin's face was written all over and shocked my whole family.

She found her voice and asked: "Then... how much money does he owe the emperor?"

"Three million strings."

"..."

"He has not been beheaded. He is really a great person."

"He once saved His Majesty's life and the Queen Mother's life. He also blocked the knife for the late Crown Prince and was poisoned for the late Grand Ancestor."

Xue Qingyin: "..."

The triathlon award should be awarded to him. He didn't die like this. What a shame.

"No wonder I can't get the money back." Xue Qingyin sighed and asked curiously: "Did His Majesty give him any extra rewards?"

"Since I have saved my life, I naturally want to reward you."

"Then the money will continue, right?"

"Um."

"Yinyin, do you want to stay there?" King Xuan had a smile on his lips.

"Go, why not go? You have to go and experience it first."

At this time, outside the carriage, the old farmer-looking Qian Zixu raised his head more carefully and asked the soldier on the side: "Why doesn't His Highness speak? Have I offended His Highness?"

King Xuan lowered his eyes and said, "Go and send a message and order him to prepare food."

"Yes." Fang Chengzhong responded and walked to Na Qian Zixu's side.

After Gan Zixu heard this, he got up, feeling quite happy, and led the team to his home.

Xingzhou is not a prosperous place, and the streets and markets do not have the prosperity of Beijing.

They walked forward, gradually getting further and further away, as if they were about to leave Xingzhou.

finally……

"We're here." A voice sounded outside the carriage.

Xue Qingyin couldn't wait to roll up the car curtain and look out.

We are actually halfway up the mountain.

There was a house built on the hillside, which was different from the usual mansions. It was dark and more like a bunker.

King Xuan helped Xue Qingyin get out of the carriage.

The soldiers naturally moved to both sides to make way for them.

Xue Qingyin walked closer and looked up.

Well, there's not even a plaque on the door.

When Qian Zixu saw them, he quickly knelt down to salute and kowtowed: "Greetings to His Highness King Xuan and Princess Xuan."

Then he got up, took out a bunch of keys from his waist, turned around and opened the door of the mansion in front of him.

There isn't anyone inside, right?

This idea suddenly came to Xue Qingyin's mind.

At this time, Qian Zixu bowed and made a gesture: "Your Highness, please go first."

King Xuan grabbed Xue Qingyin's hand and led her side by side through the door.

It also caused Na Gan Zixu to look at Xue Qingyin curiously.

I probably didn’t expect anyone to be able to walk side by side with King Xuan.

Waiting to enter the door...

There are no screens or rockeries inside.

There are no decorative items such as vases or ancient racks.

The large house seemed extremely empty.

But fortunately, there is not a single person in this house...

Several burly men, carrying knives at their waists, were dozing under the eaves.

Seeing King Xuan and his entourage come in, they were stunned. It took them a while to realize that someone was actually here.

"This is His Royal Highness Prince Xuan and Princess Xuan, why don't you bow quickly?" Qian Zixu said in a deep voice.

The big men immediately bowed obediently.

Qian Zixu quickly led them to the flower hall.

I didn't see anyone else on the road.
