Chapter 769 The White Moonlight of the Heroine of Revenge 7
Mu Qianxiao stood at the window, looking at the people downstairs scrambling to go to the military treasury to deposit their gold and silver, and sighed silently.
In the Central Plains, depositing money in a private bank did require some storage fees, but that was during the war.
In times of peace and prosperity, if private money houses wanted to attract customers, they had to pay some interest so that they could use the money to make money.
Unexpectedly, in Loulan, the military arsenal created by the saint cleverly combined the two.
Those people are scrambling to be among the top ten, in order to avoid storage fees and taxes, and they even forget to question.
There must be a master behind the Saint's actions, as well as her previous annexation of small countries.
And that person must not have been in Loulan for long, otherwise why didn't the saint make these decisions before?
-
"Not bad, not bad. Really good."
"The policy was able to be implemented so quickly thanks to the momentum generated among the public. Xiao Ai, you played a major role."
In the palace, the saint looked at the latest account book and was very satisfied.
"Thank you for the praise, Saint." Xiao Ai was very happy after completing the task assigned by the Saint.
So far, dozens of merchants have deposited silver and money in the military treasury, which is not a small amount.
What they need to do next is to use this money to generate more money, ensuring a continuous cash flow while also running their business.
"By the way, Saint, although no one in the streets has any suspicions, the Crown Prince of Hui State seems to have some doubts. He is sending people to inquire about the military advisor." Xiao Ai continued.
It was Yun Yi who personally led the troops to annex the surrounding small countries before, and it was also known to the people of Loulan that the saint appointed him as military advisor.
Mu Qianxiao realized that there was an expert behind the saint, and after a quick investigation he knew that the person was Yun Yi.
"Let the military advisor come to see me." The saint said after thinking for a while.
Xiao Ai took the order and went, and soon brought Yun Yi over.
"I have never concealed your identity as a Central Plains person. I believe Mu Qianxiao will find out soon. But do you want me to conceal your identity?" asked the saint.
"Thank you for your kindness, Saint, but it's not necessary." Yun Yi refused.
The Saint was a little puzzled. "You are from the Central Plains after all. If Loulan and Hui Kingdom go to war in the future, aren't you afraid that they will accuse you of treason? You will be safe in Loulan, but what about your family?"
The saint knew that people in the Central Plains attached great importance to family unity.
Some emperors would kill all nine generations of an entire clan in a fit of rage.
"My parents have been killed. I have no other family in the Central Plains, so naturally I am not afraid."
This was the first time Yun Yi mentioned his family affairs.
He was seriously injured when he fled to Luoxia Mountain, and it was obvious that he had encountered something extremely serious.
The Saint Lady looked at him with his eyes drooping, and he looked a little lonely. She felt a little sorry for him, but she continued to ask, "Who killed your parents?"
"Mu Qianxiao..."
"What?" Before Yun Yi could finish his words, the Saint Girl was shocked.
"Mu Qianxiao's aunt, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Hui Country." Yun Yi continued, shocked by the Saint's words, "So, by helping you now, I'm also helping myself. If one day Loulan can truly conquer the Central Plains and destroy Hui Country, it would be considered revenge for my family."
The saint understood that Yun Yi was working so hard to avenge the murder of his family.
"What if it fails?" the saint continued to ask.
"Failed?" Yun Yi smiled. "Well, it's fine. At least I tried my best and I've done my best for my parents."
The saint nodded, knowing the purpose of Yun Yi doing these things, and the cooperation between the two will become closer.
"Then Mu Qianxiao, I want to make him bleed a little more, what do you think?" The saint's eyes moved slightly, and she asked with a smile.
"Everything is arranged by the Saint."
As long as Mu Qianxiao doesn't die in Loulan, you can do whatever you want to him.
Mu Qianxiao disguised himself as a businessman who came to buy horses. In order to avoid suspicion, he naturally had to go and see the horses from the Western Regions.
The local horse dealer in Loulan took him to see his horse farm. The horses there had shiny black hair and were strong and sturdy. There were even several Arabian horses, and of course they were very expensive.
Mu Qianxiao immediately ordered twenty or thirty pieces of horse meat, paid a deposit, and agreed to hand over the goods in three days.
However, just as they were leaving the horse farm and preparing to return to the city, a group of robbers suddenly rushed out, stopped them with machetes, and demanded that they hand over the silver and money they had on them.
"Who are you? How dare you rob people on the road?" The servant drew his sword and wanted to knock the robbers down directly.
This is not an inn, so the robbers cannot drug them, and if they finish the fight quickly, no one will notice their whereabouts.
However, the next moment, the robber took a few steps back, with his fingers bent at his lips. After a whistle, a loud rustling sound was heard.
Looking closely, I saw silver-white snakes crawling towards me from all directions.
You could tell from the color of the snake that it was poisonous, and it was spitting out its tongue in a frightening way.
Even though Mu Qianxiao was used to seeing big storms and waves, he couldn't help but feel the most primitive fear at this moment.
The intrigues and back-and-forth games in the court at least would not directly cost one's life, but at this moment, if one was not careful, one would die immediately if bitten by the snake.
"No money? Don't be polite, little cuties."
The leading robber shouted, and suddenly a snake rushed forward and bit the horse's leg.
The horse howled violently and then quickly fell to the ground, throwing the rider off with it. The rider's eyes rolled back and blood started to form in his mouth. He died in an instant.
"I saw you didn't deposit the money in that damned military treasury. I've been following you all the way. Hurry up and take the money out, or that horse will be your fate."
A horse died in front of my eyes in an instant. Although it was not a human, the venom of this snake could still be imagined.
Mu Qianxiao didn't dare to delay any longer, but still bargained and asked, "If I pay you, will you let us go?"
"It's not up to you now."
Seeing that the former leader of the robbers was about to blow the whistle again, Mu Qianxiao hurriedly threw out the bag containing the money.
The robber weighed the bag and finally smiled with satisfaction when he saw the real gold and silver inside.
"That's better than not. If you had known better, why would you have forced me to poison a horse?"
The robbers blew their whistles, and the whistles were so melodious that the poisonous snakes turned around and retreated, gradually disappearing into the mountains and disappearing without a trace.
But these robbers did not leave immediately. Instead, they jumped up, grabbed Mu Qianxiao's shoulders and pulled him onto their horses.
"What are you going to do?"
"Don't even come here."
Seeing the robber leader reaching out and grabbing Mu Qianxiao's throat, the servants dared not move forward.
"I finally caught you for not storing your money in the military treasury. Of course I won't let you go easily."
"I heard everything you discussed at the stables. In three days, give me the money I earned from buying the horse to redeem him, or he won't be allowed to live."
After the robber finished speaking, he abducted Mu Qianxiao and quickly rode away on horseback.
Taking advantage of his familiarity with the terrain, he got rid of those servants in the blink of an eye.
