Chapter 445 Riding a Tiger and Being Difficult to Dismount
Ever since Zhou Chang had his "self-reflection" that day, he decided to lie down for a while.
The main reason is that too many things have happened recently, so it is best to keep a low profile for the time being.
Now there are two patients and an enemy in Prince Yi's mansion, and the mastermind behind the scenes has not been found. In addition, there has been no movement from Prince Duan in recent days, which made her wonder if she had misunderstood Prince Duan, who had a lame leg.
"Reminder: an additional 3% penalty will be imposed on late loan interest." The voice of the viewpoint system had prevented Zhou Chang from sleeping well last night, and at the same time, information was displayed in front of him.
[Level: Upper Nine-Three]
【Commission: -4,841,000 taels】
【Order: 27】
Anyway, the long string of numbers for "loan" was unclear, and it was obvious that the system was just urging her to work because it thought she had taken a few days off.
Zhou Chang wanted to play dead as usual, but when he thought about the ghost system that even chased him in his dreams last night, he felt depressed: "Didn't I just bring goods a few days ago and pay back part of the loan? Why is there still a late payment fee?"
The food and snacks brought back from the last tea party in the Imperial Garden were distributed to the servants in the mansion, and the utensils used were "taken away" to the plane the next night.
Otherwise, Zhou Chang would not be able to lie in peace in his mansion for five or six days.
"Thirty-six thousand taels of commission are not enough to pay the interest for the previous cycle." The Viewpoint System has never been at all humane.
Zhou Chang always felt that the system was cheating her, but she was a math idiot and couldn't ask Yuan Qi to help her with the math, so she just let it go: "Huh? Has the number of orders decreased? A lot, right?"
"Reduce it by half." If the viewpoint system could have a tone, it would definitely be one of disdain and sarcasm.
"It's better to reduce, it's better to reduce..." Zhou Chang smiled, "It seems that lying flat is not without benefits. I have already declared some orders impossible, but the customers have not canceled them actively. I don't know what they are waiting for."
The viewpoint system is silent, but displays the order in a scrolling manner.
Zhou Chang was dazzled, but he understood after a few glances: "What does this mean? Why were all the other orders cancelled, leaving only the decorations in the bedroom?"
“……” The viewpoint system played deaf and dumb.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I can't bear it any longer." Just at this moment, the skinny monkey came in with a bitter face and brought in tea.
Zhou Chang knew without even looking that the skinny guy must have panda eyes, but he still asked, "What's wrong?"
Skinny Monkey also helped Zhou Chang to complain: "Your Majesty, you said you were going to punish Xu Wei, but it turned out that you were punishing yourself. Xu Wei is still as energetic as a pig that has just been released from the pound. He will howl whenever he sees someone, but I haven't slept well for several nights."
The skinny monkey's residence was only separated from Guan Xuwei's place by a wall.
"How come he is still fine?" Zhou Chang was also disappointed.
"That's right..." The skinny monkey was also puzzled, "I have sent three shifts to guard, and my brothers are tired of listening to him, but the people he yells for are not tired. There is no day or night, and I can't stand it anymore."
"Give him water to drink and food to eat?" As for Xu Wei, Zhou Chang only wanted the result and didn't care about the process.
"Give it to me. Didn't the prince say that he only wants people to go crazy and not die? Then not eating and drinking water probably won't work. But he hasn't slept for these days, but he doesn't seem to go crazy." The skinny monkey's two dark circles under his eyes showed that he was seriously lacking in sleep.
Zhou Chang was confused: "Are you sure he didn't sleep?"
"Yes, otherwise I would have ended up like this." The skinny monkey pointed at the two dark circles under his eyes, "Gao only gives advice but is unwilling to take action, and the other two only take action but are not serious. Only I did it myself, but I was still worried, so I went to check from time to time. As a result, I found that Xu Wei is really not an ordinary person. He stares with two dead eyes day and night, but nothing happens. Your Majesty, could it be that your ideas are not working?"
"This..." Zhou Chang was not sure. She had heard that some people could sleep with their eyes open, and some could take short naps intermittently, but it was not such a coincidence that both of them happened to Xu Wei.
The skinny monkey was sleep deprived and was irritable from head to toe. "Your Majesty, I just came here to ask for your permission. Please allow me to do something. I'll add some odds and ends. If someone dies, it will be hard to explain. How about that?"
"What? What? Don't do anything reckless..." Zhou Chang glared at him and gave him a strong warning, "Before I think of a good way, you can't kill him. You can only scare him at most."
"Scare him? What if he accidentally scares her to death? That's not impossible..." The skinny monkey is now a fire extinguisher that can be ignited at any time. "As for how to scare him, I'll figure it out."
"Thump, thump, thump..." Zhou Chang was about to reject the proposal when he heard hurried footsteps outside.
Gao Yuan walked in quickly and reported: "Your Majesty, Xu Wei is not going to commit suicide. I am afraid something might happen, so I came to ask for your instructions."
"Is the person dead?" The skinny monkey's listless face came to life again.
Zhou Chang also stood up from behind the desk and walked out: "Want to commit suicide? But you didn't die?"
Gao Yuan nodded, "Yes, Xu Wei just hit his head against the table leg. Maybe he had no strength after days of hard work and just fainted. He has woken up now. But I am afraid that he will commit suicide again, so I came to ask the prince. After all, he is the head of the Imperial Hospital. If he died in our palace without knowing why, it would be difficult to explain anyway."
Zhou Chang began to hesitate in his heart: "Gao Yuan, how do you think he has been disciplined these days?"
Gao Yuan was indifferent: "I don't understand."
The skinny monkey understood: "Your Majesty, you are not planning to let that guy go just like that, right? Then wouldn't the food we have had for the past few days be wasted?"
"What else can we do if we don't let it go?" Zhou Chang couldn't think of a better solution.
Gao Yuan shook his head: "Your Majesty, if we just let him go, I'm afraid it won't end well."
The skinny monkey disagreed, "That's right. He didn't know what was going on in the first two days. I asked him every day, and he got the idea in the next few days. He started talking nonsense the day before yesterday, crying and begging for help. If we let him go like this, and then go to the imperial court to report him to the prince, what will the prince say?"
"Is it too late to back down? What else can we do?" Zhou Chang was at a loss. "I thought it was simple before. I didn't expect Xu Wei to be so difficult to deal with."
Gao Yuan and Shouhou shook their heads.
Zhou Chang didn't expect that he had gotten himself into a hot potato: "Forget it, since there is no other way, just bring the man here. I will give him a few words of warning and then let him go."
"Words are useless. Your Highness should get some actual evidence in your hand to prevent him from talking nonsense in the future." Gao Yuan reminded.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to tell Mr. Zhong about this matter, otherwise the responsibility of reminding him should have been on Zhong Yu.
