Chapter 462: Clouds bubbling up, can’t recognize (Part 1)

Raising the price of food, causing people to panic, beating, and smashing the food shop can be considered as a big crime . If she accepted this charge now, Xiao Tianyao won’t be able to wash clean his name .

Although this time the emperor didn’t severely punish Xiao Tianyao and only fined 200,000 silver . However, similar things may happen in the future . The people of Eastern Country will think that Xiao Tianyao is behind the scenes and used the war to make money .

Therefore, after the eunuch finished reading the imperial decree, Lin Chujiu knelt there motionless and had no intention of accepting the decree .

The official of the Ministry of Justice grabbed and pushed forward the decree in front of Lin Chujiu . Seeing Lin Chujiu not moving, he had to speak to remind her: “Xiao Wangfei, please accept the edict!”

“Accept the edict?” Lin Chujiu looked up and asked .

“Yes, please accept the edict Xiao Wangfei . ” The official of the Ministry of Justice respectfully said, but he was actually disdainful . It was only a fine of 200,000 silvers . With Xiao Wangye’s net worth, what is 200, 000 silvers to him?

Xiao Wangfei was a careless person .   She was far worse than him .

“No, I can’t take this . ” Lin Chujiu didn’t care what the official said, she just shook her head firmly, “I can recognize the fine, but I can’t recognize the accusations on behalf of Xiao Wangye . Wangye disappeared accidentally on the battlefield . He didn’t deliberately conceal his traces . It is not Wangye who sent news of his disappearance in the capital, which caused the price hike . So what does this have to do with Xiao Wangye?”

The official was quite glad to hear Lin Chujiu’s words: “Xiao Wangfei, tell the emperor these words . There’s no use in telling me this . ”

Having said that, he once again handed the imperial edict to Lin Chujiu . If it wasn’t because of the difference between men and women, the official would want to shove the imperial edict into Lin Chujiu’s arms: “Xiao Wangfei, you better take the imperial edict quickly . If you have the imperial edict, you can take it to the palace . ” He doesn’t care whether the accusation was true or not . He was only responsible for sending the edict and then went back to report to the emperor .

“I’m sorry, I can’t take this edict . ” Lin Chujiu put her hands behind her back and didn’t accept the imperial edict: “The crime listed in this edict is not committed by wangye . I can’t accept it . ”

“Xiao Wangfei, are you resisting the imperial edict?” After being refused repeatedly, the official couldn’t help but be angry .

Since he became an official of the Ministry of Justice, he can no longer count how many imperial edicts of rewards and punishment he had sent . But he had never seen someone like Lin Chujiu .

“Thunder and rain are all the king’s grace . Xiao Wangfei, you are wise . If you accept the imperial edict, this official will forget this event . Everything will pass . Otherwise, if this thing reached the emperor’s ears, you will be the one who will suffer . ” The official said half as advice and half as a threat .

Lin Chujiu’s refusal to accept the edict was certainly unsatisfactory, but this edict was not any better . However, if Lin Chujiu will accept the edict, it will be much better… …

“I can’t afford the hat of resisting on my head . I will send the fine on the imperial edict to the Ministry of Justice, but I can’t take the imperial edict . ” Lin Chujiu repeated the same sentence without getting bored .

Without waiting for the official to speak, Lin Chujiu turned her head to Housekeeper Cao and said: “Housekeeper Cao, go to my storeroom and clear out all the valuable things in my dowry . ”

“Wang, wangfei… …” Housekeeper Cao was dumbfounded: “You want to sell your dowry?” Xiao Wangfu was not poor . It was only 200,000 silvers . They can take out that amount with closed eyes . There is no need for Lin Chijiu to sell her dowry .
