After crossing over, I was favored by the villain

Chapter 90 The War of Public Opinion

Everyone's thoughts were diverted by Jin Yan's words, and they began to discuss Yin Wenxiang's affairs.

Master Xu was closer to him and knew more about the affairs of Yin Wenxiang's family. He exclaimed, "Previously, the Minister treated his colleagues with courtesy. Ever since his daughter eloped with the demon cultivator, he seemed to have changed his attitude and began to target Jiaolan and others everywhere. He even did a lot of small things behind the scenes. Minister Wen, shouldn't you give everyone an explanation for this matter?"

Yin Wenxiang sneered, "Why should I explain my family affairs to you? Discussions are necessary in the court, and it is normal to be emotional. If this matter can be related to today's incident, I can only say that you have a rich imagination."

Jin Yan was used to seeing this kind of people. She walked to Jiaolan's side with small steps. Feng Hanyun also slowly followed Jin Yan's steps. She leaned against Jiaolan's side casually, "Lanlan, there is no grudge between you and Minister Wen. Do you know his daughter? Do you know that his daughter eloped with your demon cultivator?"

Jiaolan was shocked and covered her face as she cooperated, "So that's how it is. Minister Wen hates us demon cultivators. It turns out that his precious daughter was taken away by a demon cultivator? With Minister Wen's personality, he would probably think that this is a failure in his brilliant life."

Jin Yan stared at Yin Wenxiang's back and said, "Well, it's obvious that after a while, Wenxiang will be able to retire and return to his hometown, retreat to the mountains and fields. He has served as an official in the court and fought for half his life, but his old age is not guaranteed. Can this be said to be the motive for Wenxiang to design all this?"

Jiaolan deliberately cooperated and said, "Who said it wasn't true? Maybe the Minister of Literature doesn't like us demon cultivators, and he also doesn't like you. The Dragon Ball is just an excuse. His real purpose is to kill us."

Jin Yan said inhumanely, "You can't slander the Minister Wen like this. Maybe the Minister Wen wanted to kill you before, but he was powerless, and he practiced in his later years just to deal with you."

The conversation between the two was neither too loud nor too quiet, and everyone present could hear it clearly, and began to discuss what they said.

"Minister Wen has been a soldier all his life. He has indeed dedicated his life to Jiyun Country. He is also the representative of the righteousness of Jiyun Country. There are at least 8,000 people who have passed through his hands. There has never been a single unjust, false or wrong case, and no decision has ever been overstepped."

"But the Minister of Literature had a son-in-law who was a demon cultivator. At that time, this matter caused a lot of uproar in the royal city. Many people in the folks spread that the Minister of Literature was colluding with the demon cultivators. The Minister of Literature at that time even took a leave of absence for a period of time."

"I remember that Minister Wen took a three-month leave of absence. When he returned to work, I no longer heard those rumors. Moreover, Minister Wen's temples turned gray after he returned to work."

"At that time, the king was still worried about the health of the Minister of Literature. He was even concerned about him and wanted him to continue to rest. However, the Minister of Literature dragged his seriously ill body and insisted on staying in the court, burying himself in the memorials. Did he start planning how to deal with the other demon cultivator at that time?"

"No one can bear to have such a failure in their brilliant life. It is understandable that Minister Wen did so."

Yin Wenxiang knelt in the main hall, listening to these people talking one after another, all of which were analysis and belittlement of him. These were the efforts he had been making after he was reinstated, and it was as if he had been stripped naked, displayed in front of everyone, and was being pointed at.

"Enough!" Yin Wenxiang stood up coldly, trying to control his emotions. He pointed at Jin Yan and said, "I have never met you before. Who are you? Why are you slandering me like this?"

Jin Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and chuckled, "My name is Jin Yan, and I am a disciple of Zitan Pavilion."

"I don't know him!" Yin Wenxiang flicked his sleeves and no longer looked at Jin Yan.

Jin Yan was not annoyed. She smiled and said, "You don't know me, but I know you, Yin Wenxiang. You have made great contributions and have risen to prominence. You have worked your way up from a small county magistrate to become Wenxiang today. You enjoy treatment above one person and below ten thousand people, and are loved by the people. You should have had a brilliant life."

"And you have failed the people and the king's expectations of you. Just because your daughter eloped with a demon cultivator, you believe that demon cultivators should not exist in the world. Every decision you make is against demon cultivators. Under your rule, no matter whether the incident was caused by demon cultivators or not, you will classify it as a demon cultivator falling into evil, with demonic energy entering their bodies and causing chaos in the world. In just over a decade, countless demon cultivators have died at your hands. You have never stopped killing demon cultivators, and your cultivation was taken from them. And you still say that you are working for the country and the people?"

"On what basis can you define a person as good or bad? And on what basis can you not tolerate demonic cultivators? Do you dare to say it in front of everyone?"

"You!" Yin Wenxiang was defeated in a verbal battle for the first time. What Jin Yan said was exactly what he had been doing for the past ten years. He could only be furious and shouted, "You are slandering me!"

"Oh, am I slandering you?" Jin Yan bowed to Ming Cheng who was sitting on the dragon throne. "Your Majesty, please reopen the cases that have been tried by the Minister of Literature. Everyone can be a witness to see if every case and every decision was made on the corpses of demon cultivators."

Everyone started discussing this. There was no need for Jin Yan to mention these things. Many people who had worked with Yin Wenxiang knew the outcome of the case. One or two times might have been just coincidences, but when everyone confronted each other, they actually analyzed that it was exactly the same as what Jin Yan said.

"At first, the Minister of Culture would go through the formalities, but later on, he became even more severe. As long as the case involved a demon cultivator, he would be severely tortured until the demon cultivator confessed."

"That's right. I once worked with Minister Wen on a case that didn't involve a demon cultivator, but Minister Wen dragged a demon cultivator into the case anyway. In the end, that demon cultivator died miserably, and his family members were also affected, with no trace left."

"There are many demon cultivators in my Northern Wilderness. What Minister Wen did is to drag the demon cultivators into an endless hell and give them the reputation of being pests."

Yin Wenxiang glanced at everyone coldly, "If this is the case, you are also my accomplices, and you have your hands stained with the blood of those demon cultivators. Why do you have to pretend to be magnanimous and support the demon cultivators?"

"You can't say the same thing. The Minister of Literature is above one person and below ten thousand people. If we don't obey, our fate will not be much better than those demon cultivators."

"Prime Minister Yin Wen, you must not make random accusations. You are the only one who did this. The law is long and wide, and everyone is watching what you did."

Yin Wenxiang sneered at these ministers who were trying their best to distance themselves from him. Their expressions were completely different from when they flattered him. He knew that he would not gain any advantage today, so he would not do anything stupid. However, before trying to leave, he must take Jin Yan's life and take away the dragon ball. At worst, he would give up this official uniform.

"It's all your fault! You ruined my business and took my treasure! Give me your life!"

As he spoke, Yin Wenxiang attacked instantly. Feng Hanyun had long seen that he was desperate and wanted to attack Jin Yan. When Yin Wenxiang rushed over, Feng Hanyun had already swung his sword. A burst of sword energy made everyone feel dizzy, and the moment they opened their eyes again, Yin Wenxiang's arm was separated from his body, and he let out a painful howl.
