I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

There was silence in the court, and everyone couldn't help but look at Jiang Yuan with wide eyes.

Impeach Ning Defa and everyone behind him?

Is this crazy?

Do you want to open your eyes and see how many people are standing behind you?

There are dozens of them. Let’s not talk about whether you can win or not. Even if you win, what can you do?

Everyone knows that the law does not punish the masses. It is impossible for Duanmu Yuanchen to punish dozens of officials at the same time just for Jiang Yuan, right?

After the initial worry, Duanmu Yuanchen had calmed down again.

Jiang Yuan dared to impeach him, which proved that Old Jiang had not accepted his fate. In that case, let's have a comparison. After all, since he met Old Jiang, he has never suffered any loss.

"Well, I understand. Ning Defa, first tell me why you want to impeach Jiang Yuan."

Ning Defa shook his head in grief, "Your Majesty! I want to impeach Jiang Yuan for deliberately torturing Ning Zhiyuan, the head of the Ning family!"

"Jiang Yuan is a cruel and ruthless boy. He took our patriarch away on the day of mourning. He then tortured a normal person for several days until he was no longer recognizable. Now, he is even more mentally ill!"

"When I arrived at the East Depot, Jiang Yuan actually deceived General Chen and extorted 50 million taels of silver from my Ning family. This man is guilty of a heinous crime. I cannot vent my anger without the death penalty. Your Majesty, please help me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, many officials behind Ning Defa spoke up in agreement.

"Your Majesty, please punish this man severely!"

Ning Defa finished speaking, and before Duanmu Yuanchen could speak, Jiang Yuan came directly to Ning Defa and said, "Ning Defa, you said I tortured Lord Ning, but that's not true. As everyone knows, Lord Ning went insane on the day of the Thought of Bitterness."

"Ning Defa, aren't you just throwing dirty water on me?"

"Nonsense! How could my master go crazy for no reason? You are clearly deliberately framing him! Your Majesty, please clear my master's name!"

Jiang Yuan tilted his head and sneered disdainfully: "Well then, may I ask, what evidence do you have to prove that Lord Ning was not crazy at the time?"

"Consul Chen and I can call the imperial physician to personally examine it. Are you doubting the imperial physician's medical skills?"

"Bullshit! The imperial physician was clearly threatened by you!" Ning De argued with red eyes.

Jiang Yuan sneered at Ning Defa and said, "Then I'd like to ask, do you have any evidence? Can you just touch your upper lip to your lower lip and say I threatened you?"

"If everyone is like you, wouldn't it mean that I just said it casually and you are deliberately trying to make things difficult for me today? Wouldn't I be able to punish you all?"

The scene fell silent again, and all the officials looked at Jiang Yuan in surprise.

I knew this guy was brave, but I didn't expect him to be so brave!

Almost half of the civil and military officials in the court stood against him, yet this kid still dared to be so stubborn.

If anything goes wrong, can you still keep your head?

Ning De's face flushed red, but he still glared at Jiang Yuan aggressively: "Do I need to say this? The entire court, civil and military officials, drank your so-called Pearl Jade White Jade Soup, so why did only my master have a problem?"

When this was mentioned, the officials' expressions all changed. Damn! After drinking that soup, I ran to the toilet countless times in three days. After returning home, I couldn't eat anything.

"Are you mentally ill? I really can't imagine how you can say such a thing!" Jiang Yuan scolded loudly, then waved his hand and pointed at the officials.

"Although the Pearl Jade White Jade Soup tastes bitter, it is truly a top-notch delicacy for cleansing the intestines and moistening the stomach. Don't forget, it wasn't just Lord Ning who drank this soup. It was also drunk by me, Consul General Chen, all the civil and military officials in the court, and even His Majesty. How could it be that your master was the one in trouble?"

"Have you ever reflected on your reasons? Have you worked hard to exercise over the years? Has your physical fitness improved?"

"You! You are making excuses!" Ning De said angrily.

Obviously, he was the initiator, but now the situation was getting more and more out of his control.

This made Ning Defa feel anxious.

"How am I making excuses? Can you explain it to me? Or do you think what you say is the truth and won't tolerate others telling you the truth?" Jiang Yuan said calmly.

After so long of fighting, Jiang Yuan has finally understood the opponent's strength.

There is no way he can compare with an old fox like Ning Zhiyuan, who only knows how to use his power to suppress others. But power is like a sharp sword that can hurt others, but if you are not careful, it can also hurt yourself.

Putting aside other things, as soon as something happened to the Ning family, Ning Defa stood up and everyone responded to his call. What would Duanmu Yuanchen, who was sitting on the throne, think?

Are they just decorations?

Jiang Yuan was sure that if Ning Zhiyuan was in charge of the situation, he would never behave like this. He would even show weakness to Jiang Yuan, wait for the opportunity, and then act.

But unfortunately, Ning Zhiyuan met Jiang Yuan, a guy who never plays by the rules.

If it were someone else, even if Ning Zhiyuan couldn't gain the advantage, he could definitely ensure that he would at most lose some face and would not suffer any major losses.

The reason can be summed up in one sentence: Ning Zhiyuan is shameless, but it depends on who he is compared with. He would never have thought that Jiang Yuan would dare to attack him in front of civil and military officials.

"Then how can you prove that what you said is true!" Ning Defa gasped, really pissed off by Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan immediately revealed a look of concern for a mentally retarded person: "Ning Defa, do I need to say this? The fact that so many of you, the accomplices behind you, are still standing behind you and cheering for you, doesn't that already prove that there is nothing wrong with my soup?"

Hearing this, Ning Defa couldn't help but shook his head. Damn, this question was really useless. He was really mad at Jiang Yuan and actually said such a thing.

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now! Let's talk about why you cheated my Ning family out of 50 million taels of silver!" Ning Defa's voice got louder again.

Jiang Yuan can make excuses for other things, but I want to see what else you can come up with on this one!

Jiang Yuan rubbed his eyes calmly and said, "I've already told you, this is the compensation that Lord Ning paid for breaking our treasures."

Ning Defa felt suffocated when he didn't come. Fifty million taels of silver are enough to rebuild an East Factory. How dare you say that!

"Master Jiang, don't think I don't know anything about porcelain. Your things are worth at most five hundred taels. I happen to have two pieces here that I brought back that day. I would like to ask Your Majesty and the others to carefully identify them and see if they are ordinary porcelain or, as Master Jiang said, rare treasures!"

"Okay, since that's the case, let me show it to you all." Duanmu Yuanchen said softly.

Ning Defa hurriedly handed the porcelain piece in his hand to the eunuchs on his left and right. After a while, when Duanmu Yuanchen saw the porcelain piece in his hand, he couldn't help shaking his head.

When it comes to scamming people out of money, it's you, Old Jiang. You actually dare to ask someone for 50 million taels of silver for such a piece of trash.

How dare you!
