To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

Chapter 339: Just asking for wages?

Song Wang's arrival eased the deadlock between the two parties.

Xie Qian breathed a sigh of relief: "How come nephew Song has time to come to the Censorate?"

Kuai Wenshi clenched his fists.

He said dissatisfiedly: "They know each other, they must have come together to save the Marquis. They want to disrupt the laws of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and trample the Metropolitan Procuratorate under their feet, so that all criminal cases in the world will be decided by the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice."

"Shut up!" Jie Kai frowned and scolded.

Even a fool can see the clues. The Minister of Justice hasn't even opened his mouth to say what he's doing here, but the Right Censor-in-Chief has been throwing dirty water on him. Is he really resorting to lynching?

Even if the Marquis was arrested, he is still a man of noble status.

"But the Censorate is indeed busy today."

Song Wang said: "If we were just juniors, it would indeed be a cause of trouble, but Uncle Jie, have you ever thought that I am the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Lord Jiang is the Minister of the Dali Temple. We came here for only one purpose."

It has been a long time since the three divisions have faced each other.

Jie Kai waved his hand and asked the guards to leave. He said, "You mean, there are unjust, false and wrong cases in the Censorate, and you want to intervene, right? Well, I want to see who dares to pass orders here and use private punishment. Even I didn't know that I had alarmed the two adults at the same time."

Kuai Wenshi hurriedly said, "Sir, we can't let them go, otherwise where will the face of the Censorate be?"

"It's long gone!" Xie Qi's chest rose and fell, and he said angrily, "If I have failed in my duty, I will ask for dismissal."

In the prison, the jailer lost his sleepiness when he saw so many adults coming together. He had never seen so many living adults in his life. He nodded and bowed to open the door, then he remembered the suffocating scene inside.

He wanted to stop it, but he didn't dare to.

He scratched his hands and said fearfully, "Sir, what should I do?"

Kuai Wenshi slapped him, grabbed the jailer by the collar and said, "You useless bastard, you can't even stall for time, and you're the only one who can show your courtesy? Why don't you go and tell the prince about this!"

When he heard the adults calling him, he forced a smile.

"Hey! Here we come!"

Jie Kai was so frightened that his hands were shaking. He didn't even react when Jiang Jing and Song Wang broke into the prison. It was not until the Marquis was helped out and the smell of blood in his face sobered him up that he quickly knelt on the ground.

"My Lord, I deserve to die!"

Li Ningwan held his breath, straightened his back, and laughed: "I am not a marquis, I am a serious criminal in the Censorate. The Right Censor-in-Chief was really harsh and almost took my life. However, if I sign this, I am afraid it will really cost me my life."

The black and white words were stained with blood.

After reading the evidence, Jie Jian was terrified, because this was evidence of a confession obtained through torture! But he knew nothing about it. He hurriedly explained, "I have always respected you, Lord, and would never dare to do this. As soon as I received the report about you, I started investigating the matter, just to clear your name."

He looked tired, and it didn't look fake.

What's more, when Jiang Jing came, he did see him checking the information. This Left Censor-in-Chief had a good reputation and had handled many cases fairly and impartially.

Li Ningwan said: "I believe you, but how do you explain the injuries on your body?"

"I will definitely give you justice." Jie Qi looked aside and said, "Right Censor-in-Chief, did you give this order? You actually resorted to private punishment without permission. Do you still respect me?"

It turns out that he repeatedly obstructed Jiang Jing because he was afraid that the truth would be discovered.

He almost kicked Jiang Jing out. He was so stupid!

Kuai Wenshi shouted, "It's unfair. How dare I do that? Someone must not know the Marquis and think he is a serious criminal, so they used torture. When the truth comes out, I will rescue the person who made the decision without authorization and kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to confess my crime in the Marquis' Mansion."

Sudden.

The jailer ran in, knelt on the ground, glanced at Kuai Wenshi quietly, and said.

"Sir, it's bad. There are fifty or sixty people outside the door, trying to cause trouble. They insist... insist..."

Kuai Wenshi replied: "What do you want? Tell me now!"

The jailer said, "They are all victims. They say that the Marquis took human lives lightly, abducted women, withheld money, and beat many people to death. They insist that you execute the Marquis to relieve your hatred."

-

When we returned to the Marquis' Mansion, there were quite a few people standing in the yard.

The leader was Li Fenghe.

Jiusu stepped forward, "Uncle San, these are..."

"Ahem, it's like this. After I got the seal of power, I wanted to make some contributions, so I wanted to go to the shop to take a look (show off), but I didn't expect to find something big." Then, Li Fenghe looked at the forty or fifty people again, "This is the eldest lady of the Li family. Talk to her if you have anything to say."

They looked at each other, not knowing how to start.

Shop? Jiusu thought about it and decided to go to the shop according to the Queen's suggestion. She said, "What did my father do to make you all so angry that you bribed the people in the Censorate to beat my father half to death?"

There are countless shops under the marquis's mansion.

Most of them have been rented out or sold, and only these ten shops still belong to the Li Mansion. The Marquis Mansion is a Buddhist and doesn't like to get involved in things. Most of the people working in the shops are elderly, and it would be a lie to say that they have no feelings for them.

The shopkeeper of Yutong Shop stepped forward, bowed and said.

"Miss, we are all under the Marquis's command. How could we possibly harm the Marquis? We just want to get our wages back."

Jiusu asked: "Just asking for the wages back?"

The shopkeeper of Yutong Shop and the others all nodded, "Yes, we just want to get our wages back. If our family wasn't really broke and the shop assistants weren't complaining, we wouldn't ask for it if the Lord had done us a great favor."

Jiusu put away his umbrella and opened the door to the front hall.

"Boss, please come in and take shelter from the rain. Zitan, go get some clean towels, and Kou Shao, go prepare the ginger soup."

She invited Li Fenghe to sit in the main seat. Li Fenghe was flattered. For the first time, he discovered the joy of doing business. He clenched his hands nervously, thinking that whatever his niece said was right!

Jiusu bowed and said, "I would like to apologize to everyone first. We were indeed wrong in this matter."

Li Fenghe applauded, "Yes!"

"..."

I have to say that the dramatic and trouble-making Uncle San really livened up the atmosphere on the scene.

The shopkeeper of Yutong Shop waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, no, the Marquis may have been too busy and neglected it. We did not go to the government to report the Marquis. We only told the steward Wang in the Marquis's mansion. Steward Wang asked us to write down what happened and said that he asked the Marquis for money."

Jiusu's eyes flickered slightly, and he wrote down the name.

"My father was arrested and taken to the Censorate. They used lynching to force him to confess."

The shopkeeper of Yutong Shop drank the ginger soup and felt warm in his heart. When he heard that the Marquis was being tortured, he frowned guiltily, "We didn't report it to the authorities. Besides, we can just pay the overdue silver. There's no need to resort to lynching, right?"

Jiusu said coldly, "Because when the Metropolitan Procuratorate arrested my father, the charges were: taking human life lightly, bullying men and women, and other crimes."

Hearing this, they knelt down.

They all expressed their sincerity and their belief in the Marquis' character.

Mingheng hurried over. He walked up to the girl and steadied his breath. "The young master asked me to tell you that the 'victims' are kneeling at the gate of the Censorate, asking the censor to execute the Marquis."
