I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

"Your Majesty, Miss Wen Qingzhi has arrived at the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion."

The word "Miss Wen" gave Wen Qingzhi enough face. Everyone present looked at each other, thinking that Eunuch Dai was a favorite of the emperor. Even the concubines in the palace had to call him "Eunuch Dai" when they saw him, which showed his status.

How could he show such favor to a fool from the defeated Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion? Calling her "girl"?

While they were puzzled, Wen Qingzhi came in in a light-colored dress.

She was born beautiful, but at this moment her face was pale and her steps were unsteady, and she came in like a sick beauty.

As soon as I came in, someone sighed and said, why does Wen Qingzhi look like she is about to die?

When Wen Qingzhi heard this, she thought to herself that Chunyu had overdone her makeup today.

She was wearing plain clothes, with her long, not-so-black hair draped over her shoulders, the ends of her hair tangled and frizzy. If the people present didn't know her, they would probably mistake her for a beggar from somewhere.

"Your humble servant Wen Qingzhi greets His Majesty. Long live the Emperor."

She was repulsed by Feng Yunsu's kowtow, but she understood that one has to bow down under someone's roof.

"Flat body."

Feng Yunsu pretended to raise his hand to let her stand up, and then said, "I heard that you have a grievance, so I came here today to report it."

Ever since they decided to do this, and with the Yuan family's relatives repeatedly going to the Wen family's grain and oil shop to cause trouble, it became almost known to everyone.

From the moment her name appeared in the hall, everyone already knew why she came today.

The eyes in the hall gradually focused on the Yuan family father and son, and they could only sigh that the relationships in this world were so complicated.

"Yes, I have been wronged."

Wen Qingzhi did not stand up, but kowtowed heavily to Feng Yunsu.

There was a loud and powerful thud that shocked everyone present.

She lowered her head to the cold stone slab, then slowly raised it, her eyes bloodshot. "I, your humble servant, am suing the Yuan family and their relatives for abusing their power and bullying others. They have seized my family's property for years and embezzled countless amounts of money and property."

"What nonsense!"

Yuan Qing glared at Wen Qingzhi with gritted teeth. Ever since he learned that the Wen family shop no longer supplied grain and oil to their family, he knew that she would cause trouble.

That day they sent out people to chase after him, but none of them came back, so he knew that something bad was going to happen.

As it turns out, there really is such a thing!

"Here is the detailed list of your family's assets. Your Majesty, please review it."

She took out a booklet from her bosom and presented it with trembling hands. The moment she looked up, tears as big as beans fell down her cheeks and splashed on the ground, making small splashes of water.

Her pitiful appearance made the young officials present feel distressed.

If the emperor had not been there, someone would have stepped forward and lifted the person up, or even wanted to hold him in his arms and comfort him.

She began to explain, "Among them, there are seven grain and oil shops, all of which are produced by the Wen family's private property. I believe that Your Majesty and the others are aware of this. They are originally used to support the army and reduce the burden on Your Majesty."

"But, ever since my parents passed away, the Yuan family has used my marriage to them and my past mental retardation as an excuse to take over these shops. After the Yuan family took over, they didn't provide support to the army as before, but instead made them their private property, with all the profits going directly into the pockets of the Yuan family and their relatives!"

She suddenly raised her head, tears in her eyes, and glared fiercely at the Yuan family father and son, "We can forget about the past, but my engagement with the Yuan family ended long ago. Why are they still seizing my grain and oil?"

"Among them, his family members surnamed Fan were even worse. Because I refused to provide them with more food, they started a fight in my shop, injuring several employees. They even threatened to kill the employees in my shop if I didn't give them food!"

She cried so hard that her heart was broken, and Feng Junsu's scalp was numb. If he didn't know her character, he would have been deceived by her.

"Your Majesty and all the gentlemen, I beg you to give me justice!"

She lowered her head again and knocked her head against the stone slab. The "bang" sound scared Feng Yunsu so much that his hands trembled.

Does she really not feel pain?

Or is it just for the sake of the exercise, regardless of your own life?

That’s all…

Feng Yunsu took a deep breath. The more realistic her performance was, the better it would be for her.

Feng Yunsu pretended to open the booklet and take a look, but his face instantly turned dark.

There were only a few words written on it: I hope the emperor will cooperate.

Fortunately, she presented two books, one of which was an account book. After reading it, his face darkened instantly, and he threw it in front of everyone with a "slap".

"Yuan Qing, take a good look at yourself!"

He slammed his palm on the table, "Look at what you've done! When Marquis Wen was alive, he was compassionate to his soldiers and cared about Bei Ming, so he used all his money to support the family. What about you? After taking over the Wen family army, you haven't won many battles, but your food and fodder use has increased year by year."

"The food and fodder the palace sent you was never enough. Now this matter has been brought up again. If what's recorded above is true, then tell me where all the food and fodder I allocated to you went!"

Feng Yunsu understood the principle that there are no fish in clear water, but fish are fat in muddy water. He knew that the Yuan family was greedy and that they had taken over the Wen family's property.

I just didn't expect it to be so outrageous.

After all, in previous years, he always used the excuse that the Wen family had many veterans who needed to be looked after.

If the booklet that Wen Qingzhi handed over is real, then the Yuan family... deserves to die!

The amount recorded above is too huge. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that no matter how much the Yuan family and their relatives spend on eating and drinking, they would never spend such a large amount.

Yuan Qing walked forward tremblingly, picked up the booklet and flipped through it. After reading the ending, he almost fainted.

It really is killing me.

He had never thought that Wen Qingzhi would be stupid. Besides, she was the last one in the Marquis' Mansion, so naturally she would do things without any scruples.

Moreover, they had originally planned to wait for Wen Qingzhi to come in, squeeze out all the value from her, and then kill her casually.

No one cares about the life or death of a fool.

But unexpectedly, she...is not stupid anymore.

He regretted letting Sun get rid of Wen Qingzhi!

He regretted even more that he had not eliminated the trouble after the first confrontation, which now left him with such a huge disaster.

The accounts recorded above have all been checked, and he has no way to argue.

Anything said at this moment would seem deliberate.

fine……

The housekeeper in the mansion is a relative of his.

A hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes. He gripped the booklet tightly in his hand, his face showing difficulty. He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, regarding the records above, I have nothing to say."

No one knew what was written in the booklet, but when they heard him admit it so readily, they all hesitated.

"I wonder what's written on it? Why did General Yuan admit it? Did he really do it?"

Someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I, an old minister, would also like to watch it."

Then he looked at Yuan Qing and asked, "I wonder if General Yuan is willing to give in?"

Yuan Qing looked over, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.

He is the head of the procuratorate, Fang Qingbai.

This man was notoriously stubborn, like a mad dog that would bite at the first sign of meat. Once he bit you, it was difficult to break free, and even if you did, you would still lose a layer of skin.

Yuan Qing held the booklet in his hand, made a decision in a breath, and handed the booklet over.

"Master Fang, please take a look."

Fang Qingbai is just like his name, clean and honest, otherwise he would not have been able to sit in the position of the head of the procuratorate.

Fang Qingbai had just read half of the booklet when his face turned extremely dark.

He glanced at Yuan Qing and sneered, "General Yuan is indeed a soldier, and his family members are all big eaters. Just food and drink alone would cost five times the amount of money my family spends in a year."

Wen Qingzhi did not tamper with this account book because there was no need to do so.

Anyone who saw it would know that something was wrong.

After Fang Qingbai finished reading it, he asked Yuan Qing, "General Yuan, would you be willing for me to pass it on to others?"

Yuan Qing cursed Fang Qingbai in his heart, "I don't mind."

Fang Qingbai passed the booklet to the people from the Procuratorate. After reading it, they gasped and stepped forward, saying, "Your Majesty, we wish to report to General Yuan!"

Wen Qingzhi knelt at the back, watching these people stand up. She thought of what Zhang Ye had told her when she came here. She looked in the direction Zhang Ye had mentioned, and sure enough...

The people arranged by Feng Yunxiao are also in the procuratorate.
