My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

[Ahhhh, this Wen Xin Hou is so hateful, even Zhou Pa Pi would feel ashamed of himself if he faced him! ]

[Not only did he secretly occupy more than 10,000 mu of good farmland from the imperial court, he also required the tenants who depended on the land in his hands to share 80% of the grain harvest from his land.]

System: [Isn’t this forcing the tenant to die? ]

[There’s more! ]

[The tenant, who only had 20% of his food left, had to work hard every day for his land, and was almost exhausted to death.]

[And this Zhou Paopi was still not satisfied, and he wanted the tenants, who were already on the brink of life and death, to sell themselves out of hunger and become slaves in his mansion.]

[This conscienceless bastard has the indentures of more than 3,000 people in his hands.]

Seeing this, Ye Shengxin was so angry that she was shaking all over and tears were about to come out.

She rubbed her eyes and said in a sharp voice:

[System, do you know what this indenture is? ]

The system glanced at the contents of the book and became furious.

[Ahhhhhh, this bastard actually made more than 3,000 households and their descendants become slaves of his mansion.]

[How shameless is he!]

The system was also upset.

[They are all living people, how can you treat them so harshly? ]

[The baby was born into a commoner family. His life was ordinary to begin with, and he became a slave who was exploited for the rest of his life from birth.]

[This Wenxin Hou likes slaves so much, why doesn't he become one himself! ]

Ye Xingxin also gritted his teeth, his expression gloomy:

[Yes, let him be a slave himself.]

[Doesn't he like to have slaves working the land non-stop? Then let him do it himself.]

[It would be best if I could live a hundred years and continue planting until I die! ]

[By the way, all those who exploit the common people in Wenxinhou Mansion should be treated like that old man! ]

Ye Shengxin's last two sentences left the court silent.

Her bad words later came true for all the masters in the Wenxin Marquis Mansion, and they were probably living a life worse than death.

The prince curled his lips.

In this way, the old lady in the Wenxinhou Mansion who wanted to live a long life no longer had to pray to the Buddha.

Isn’t it time to live a hundred years?

At the same time, at the Mansion of Marquis Wenxin.

Wen Xinhou's mother, who was lying on the bed catching up on her sleep, was suddenly awakened by a start.

She got out of bed and moved with more energy than ever before.

With a pounding heart, she ran to the bronze mirror in two or three steps.

The person inside did not look tired at all as if he had endured a night of torture. Instead, he looked radiant.

She clenched her fist in surprise, not knowing why.

I feel like I am back to my twenties, with endless energy.

If she goes to work in the fields, she can work for a whole day without a break.

"Could it be that the Buddha is blessing me because I made a golden body for Him?" the old lady muttered.

The more I think about it, the more likely it is.

She put on her clothes and called the maid, asking her to prepare incense and candles, as she was going to the small Buddhist temple to fulfill her wish to the Buddha.

Thank God for seeing her sincerity in worshiping Buddha for many years.

The old lady here prepared several sticks of incense and began to kowtow in front of the Buddha amid the smoke and fire.

In the court, the officials were as angry as Ye Shengxin because of Marquis Wenxin's actions.

As the censor, Xu Zhong was the first to stand up.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Please speak, my dear minister!" Emperor Jingming spoke while biting the words.

This old man, Marquis Wenxin, is unforgivable if it weren't for the crime of treason.

He did not dare to force the people to become slaves for generations, let alone squeeze their food supply.

His behavior is even more hateful than that of corrupt officials!

"I want to sue Marquis Wenxin for secretly occupying the court's good land, treating the people harshly, and forcing them into slavery. I ask Your Majesty to make a decision for the people."

As he spoke, he felt something in his body and knelt down crying.

Although no one knows where the book in Ye Shengxin's hand came from, it can accurately tell three secrets.

The three parties involved will not doubt its authenticity.

Then Prime Minister Shangguan and the old tutor also stood up one after another and put forward the same excuse.

With a breakthrough, Emperor Jingming could no longer hold back his anger.

He slammed his hand heavily on the imperial desk.

He asked coldly, "Is Marquis Wenxin here?"

Eunuch Lin reminded: "Your Majesty, the servants of Wenxin Marquis's mansion asked for leave for Wenxin Marquis, and he did not come to the court today!"

Ye Xingxin regrets: [Didn’t you come? ]

She looked around, but indeed saw no one.

[What should I do? I can't wait any longer. I wonder if the emperor can take the three ministers who reported him to the marquis' mansion to try the case.]

[You should know that if this delay is extended for one more day, the three thousand tenants will suffer for one more day.]

[This old man, Wen Xin Hou, will enjoy one more day of happiness! ]

Everyone:...

You think this is too clear, don't you?

Emperor Jingming naturally did not want Marquis Wenxin to enjoy it any longer.

He made up an excuse and took many ministers to the mansion of Marquis Wenxin.

Ye Shengxin followed at the back, laughing all the way.

Just wait, old man. The emperor is coming to find you. Your retribution has come.

Emperor Jingming: ...

His retribution is not me, but you!

The Mansion of Marquis Wenxin.

Marquis Wenxin was now in severe pain all over his body.

With the help of the maids and servants, he struggled for a long time before he was able to keep his kneeling position.

This humiliating posture made him feel a little better.

He cursed and swore countless times in his heart at the person who had caused him to be like this.

It was at this time that the butler brought him food.

Wen Xinhou endured the severe pain and sweated as he asked casually:

"What is the old lady doing?"

Housekeeper: "The old lady has asked people to prepare incense and candles, and she has been worshipping the Buddha in the small Buddhist temple for a while."

Marquis Wenxin was touched and said, "I am sorry that my current condition has caused my mother trouble."

housekeeper:"……"

The butler opened his mouth, not knowing whether to tell the truth.

Tell our Lord not to be so self-indulgent.

Fortunately, he didn't need to worry about it any longer, as a servant came quickly to report that the emperor was coming towards the marquis's courtyard with civil and military officials.

Wen Xinhou was horrified: "What is the emperor doing here?"

He was uneasy.

Could it be that the Emperor discovered something?

No, no, he couldn't kneel down anymore. There was a risk of being exposed.

Marquis Wenxin hurriedly called for them to move his body again, but the maids and servants had not come in yet.

The angry Emperor Jingming and civil and military officials came in first.

Seeing his appearance, Emperor Jingming took a chair and sat down, and asked in a cold and indifferent voice:

"I came to the Marquis's residence, but Marquis Wenxin forgot the etiquette and refused to get out of bed to pay his respects?"

Marquis Wenxin: ...

Marquis Wenxin was about to cry.

Beads of sweat rolled down his face and neck.

Faced with the questioning, he pretended to be miserable, bowed his hands, and knelt deeply.

"Your Majesty, I am physically disabled and cannot kneel down to pay my respects. Please forgive me."

"Is it?"

Emperor Jingming's face showed no sign of happiness or anger, but he knew in his heart that he was probably closely related to Minister Wen.

However, he has no evidence for this matter yet, but——

We can control him by using the three ministers' reports!

When he heard that he was being reported, Marquis Wenxin cried and cried out that he was wronged.

With tears streaming down his face, he said: "Your Majesty, I took 80% of the rent without being forced to do so. I saved the lives of those tenants."

"They were refugees from the disaster area. I gave them a place to stay, and they gave me 80% of the rent out of gratitude."

"As for those who sold themselves into slavery, I definitely did not force them."

"If your majesty has any doubts, you can send someone to the local area to inquire."

He looked like he had no regrets, which for a moment made many ministers in the room feel shaken.

Perhaps Marquis Wenxin was really wronged.

【Let me in, let me see, I want to see what's going on inside! 】

Ye Xingxin held a low official position, and the room could not accommodate so many people, so only one third of them entered.

She was so anxious outside the house that she was jumping up and down, fearing that Marquis Wenxin would be able to avoid questioning by speaking smoothly.

[Ahhhh, why is my official position so low? Why can't I go in? ]

She is devastated!
