OMG! Tyrant's Pampered Baby Is a Valued Princess-Chapter 749: She Is Exactly Like the Heavenly Dao!
Uncle Chang became agitated, picking up his cane and waving it around haphazardly.
He drove away all the Xiu Luo Envoys standing beside him.
"This is the house the government allocated to me. The Prince specially allowed it. I didn’t take more than I deserved! You can scold me, but you cannot insult me. I did not take extra!"
He was emotionally stirred, speaking while unsteady on his feet.
Seeing him accidentally knock into a flower pot, the old man tilted and fell!
"Grandpa Chang!" Bai Zhi’er’s eyes widened, reaching out her small hand to help.
But she was actually a bit too far away.
In an instant, golden-pink threads sprang from her palm, directly supporting the old man’s back.
Almost at the same time, another gust of dark, bluish wind supported Uncle Chang’s waist.
Feng Fuce and Bai Zhi’er were both taken aback, looking at each other.
Bai Zhi’er immediately averted her gaze, a hint of guilt on her small face.
Feng Fuce, however, furrowed his cold brows tightly.
This time, he could be absolutely sure that the spell Bai Zhi’er used was exactly the same as the Heavenly Dao!
However, the little girl was thinking——
Oh no, would Brother Fu Ce discover she’s different from ordinary people?
By now, Lei Hu had already stepped forward and steadied Uncle Chang.
Bai Zhi’er snapped back, reprimanding, "Uncle Minister, who told you to come and make trouble? Don’t speak nonsense, this Princess doesn’t plan to arrest Grandpa Chang."
The Minister of Revenue was taken aback, quickly bowing and saying, "Your Highness, this person violated norms and rituals, he should be severely punished."
Bai Zhi’er tilted her head, blinking: "Who told you he violated the law?"
"This..." The Minister of Revenue faltered: "He received extra allowances and occupied ten acres of land, doesn’t that count?"
Bai Zhi’er took small steps, her tender face’s pink lips opening and closing.
"Hmph, from what I heard, Uncle Minister, you don’t fully understand the laws of Great Chu."
"The law states, if a retired soldier has no son or daughter, he can be allocated an extra two acres of land; if he has no wife or family, he may receive another two acres."
"The regulations also state that those who were disabled due to fighting for the court can receive another two acres of land."
The Minister of Revenue shivered all over.
He actually forgot this point.
"Then, shouldn’t he still not receive an extra fifty taels each year? How did this come about?" The Minister of Revenue’s face looked somewhat unpleasant.
Bai Zhi’er’s large eyes were filled with reproach.
She snorted coldly: "I really don’t understand how you became the Minister of Revenue. Great Chu’s money is entrusted to you, it really doesn’t reassure Zhi’er."
Bai Zhi’er put her hands on her hips, lecturing: "Uncle Minister, have you ever heard of the term ’all the heroes’?"
The little girl didn’t want to waste words, waving her small hand: "Brother Fu Ce, you tell him!"
Feng Fuce looked at the Minister of Revenue and coldly said: "The law stipulates that if more than five people in a household join the military, they can receive an extra twenty taels annually."
"But if upon returning home, only one person survives, the court will grant an additional subsidy of thirty taels each year."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Chang was already feeling extremely sorrowful.
He looked at the Minister of Revenue, his hands trembling: "My father, two brothers, and two younger brothers have all died on the battlefield." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"You say I took this money illicitly, but I’d rather you kill me. This is not money; it’s the blood they shed!"
The Minister of Revenue’s face was extremely unpleasant.
He stammered at Bai Zhi’er: "It was my offense, please punish me, Your Highness."
He was eager to achieve merit by seizing Prince Qing’s faults to please the Emperor, but he hadn’t expected it to backfire!
