Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

At that moment, Nanny Ping quickly sent someone to that place to investigate secretly. The result she got almost made Nanny Ping break out in a cold sweat. Those common people said that it was Concubine Liu beside the prince who was bullying others by taking advantage of her power, and forced the land price to be lowered and then forced to be purchased. This was a serious crime!

She quickly told Yu Ziyin what had happened. "Your Majesty, you felt something was amiss at the time, but after checking, I found it was indeed true! Those people used your name to abuse their power and force people to lower the prices of their land and houses. If anyone refused to obey, they were severely threatened. If this matter gets to the capital, regardless of whether it's you who did it, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing for you!"

After hearing this, Yu Ziyin's face turned cold. "This matter needs to be dealt with quickly, otherwise, when the common people really go to the Jingzhao Prefecture in the capital to file a complaint, I'm afraid the Crown Prince will also be implicated."

Fortunately, this incident happened not long ago. In order to make themselves really involved in the affairs of these fields, those people couldn't wait to come to the door, so Yu Zinyin still had time to fight back.

Yu Ziyin thought about it, and asked Rong Mama beside her to go to the village to bribe a few people, and let those people persuade the young people in the village or the old people who can handle important affairs to come to the capital, but not to Jingzhao Prefecture, but to go directly to the Prince's Mansion to ask clearly. At the same time, tell them that there are many people, even if it is the Prince, he cannot beat them directly, otherwise it will spread a bad reputation. And if they find out that the Prince's concubine really did such a thing, then they have to make a big fuss in the Prince's Mansion to embarrass her, otherwise how can she bear this?

The young and old people in the village were indeed tempted by the instigation of those people.

But some were afraid and asked, "What if Concubine Liu refuses to acknowledge me?"

The person who was sent said, "Then let's report it to Jingzhao Prefecture! Even if Concubine Liu had the guts to kill ordinary people in the capital!"

A few people thought about it and agreed. Even if he was an ordinary slave, there had to be a reason to kill him. He could not be killed at will, otherwise he would be punished. What's more, that was under the emperor's feet, and there were many of them. How could Concubine Liu dare to kill him to silence him?

After figuring it out, they immediately packed their things and went to Beijing. They ran to the Prince's Mansion. Coincidentally, they met Shao Lian when he was on leave. But in fact, Yu Ziyin calculated their walking speed and knew roughly when they would arrive. She arranged for people to go and instigate them to go to Beijing and make trouble at the Prince's Mansion, so that they could just meet Shao Lian who was on leave.

If the outcome of this matter could be left to Shao Lian, the person behind it would certainly not be able to get away with it so easily. Yu Ziyin didn't absolutely need Shao Lian to settle the matter, but if the matter was handed over to Jingzhao Prefecture, she might fall into the hands of the person behind the scenes. If she handled it herself, she would probably be seen as biased. Even if both parties clarified the matter later, people with ulterior motives would speculate whether she had been involved in any scheme, which would be bad.

So she could just lay it out in front of Shao Lian and let him handle it. Who would dare to criticize the prince then? She could also save herself a lot of trouble.

Shao Lian watched as the housekeeper and Nanny Heping led a few ordinary people to him, still unaware of the situation, "What's going on?"

Those common people had never seen an official as high as the prince. In their place, the highest official was the county magistrate. Now that they had seen the prince, their courage had diminished a lot. However, some young men who were still resentful in their hearts showed fear when they saw the prince, but there was also anger on their faces.

After all, anyone would be furious. I was living a peaceful life farming in my own home, and the concubine of a high-ranking official, relying on her favor, came here to seize my land and bought it out at a very low price. This is simply ruining my life! It's unforgivable.

Fortunately, several elderly people held the young man back, otherwise he might have shouted.

Nanny Ping stepped forward and told Shao Lian the general situation. "Your Highness, these old men and young men are here to look for the Concubine. They say that Concubine Liu is taking advantage of her favor to forcefully buy the land from them at a lower price."

After hearing this, Shao Lian waved his hand and had the elders seated. "Please take a seat, gentlemen. I just learned about this matter, but I can't just listen to your side of the story. I will have Concubine Liu brought here now, and you will confront her in court. If it is true as you say, I promise you that I will never let her go, and your land and houses will be returned one by one."

"Yes, His Royal Highness is right. We are willing to confront Concubine Liu."

Several old gentlemen did not expect the prince to be so easy to talk to. The representative among them was a more prestigious elder in the local village. He had won the imperial examination when he was young and was considered educated. He was the first one to agree to come to the prince's house because he knew that the prince of Dashao, Shao Lian, had a good reputation and had never had a bad reputation. He was taught by the current emperor himself and was a good crown prince who was able to serve the people wholeheartedly.

That's why he dared to take the risk and bring a few old guys and a few younger ones of the same generation to the Prince's Mansion in the capital. Otherwise, if it were someone else, the elders would probably take people directly to the Jingzhao Mansion to file a complaint. After all, it was a matter of life and death, so they had no choice but to do so.

Shao Lian asked someone to make tea and bring up cakes for the people who had worked hard.

Yu Ziyin quickly brought Rong Mama to the hall. As soon as they arrived, Shao Lian asked her whether she had sent people to a certain village or place to oppress the local villagers and buy land and houses at low prices?

Yu Zinyin denied it on the spot.

"Nonsense! It's obviously you! They used your name, Concubine Liu, to come to us and force the price of land to be purchased. If we don't buy it, they will use your name to suppress us! Now that we have come to your door, you still dare to quibble here!" The young man, who could no longer hold his temper, immediately shouted angrily.

Shao Lian didn't say anything. After all, he had said before that the two sides should confront each other. If he spoke out to stop them, how could they confront each other?

Yu Ziyin remained calm. He turned to look at the young man and asked, "Young man, how are you going to prove that those people are mine? Okay, even if they really are mine, and I'm not stupid enough to force the price of land down or seize it, why should I use my own name? Am I not afraid that you will come to the capital like you are doing now?"

The young man choked.

One of the elders said, "Who knows what you're thinking? Maybe you think we're afraid of you and that we wouldn't dare to come to the capital to cause trouble, so you dare to do this to us under your own name. And we have your transaction certificate here!"

Yu Ziyin nodded, not refuting the other party's inaccuracy, and said, "Several old gentlemen and young men can claim that I did such a thing, but I also have a way to claim that I didn't do such a thing. Since neither of us can convince the other, then we should both produce evidence to prove it. Then we will know what is wrong!"

She did not say that these people were making false accusations, because she knew that these people had suffered from an undeserved disaster. The people behind the scenes wanted to use the anger of these people to bring her down and wanted to see her fight with these people. How vicious were their hearts?
