The prince slowly walked down from the top of the stairs, and according to the old practice, stood in front of Wen Dusk.

The third prince stood on one side, looking at this opponent who he hadn't seen for many years, and he hated it very much, but he didn't know that the Duanhuang Emperor was wise and lucky, and he was ready to be ruthless to him at any time.

Wen Tingyu and Yuan Rui walked side by side to the side of the prince, standing left and right.

Emperor Duan hummed, and slowly sat on the golden chair, and the eunuch Liu Ying said to the officials: "Something to play." ”

The officials looked at each other, and they did not dare to come out first.

Duwen Tingyu stepped out of everyone, "The minister has something to play." ”

The third prince looked curiously at what this stinky child could say.

Wen Tingyu said: "The ministers saw many slaves in Xiangshang City, and they were full of compassion in their hearts, and when the ministers sent people to inquire, they learned that these slaves were originally slaves whose slave status expired, and the deed of sale was torn up, and they could have become good citizens, but because of the dereliction of duty and greed for money in Shangrou City, these slaves wanted to turn back into slaves, and destroyed the slave status of the Sili Mansion, and they needed to give a minimum of fifty taels of silver, and those slaves could not afford it, and they couldn't eliminate the slave status, and they couldn't get the good people's paper, so they had to wander from Shangrou City to Xiangshang City and become a hired laborer. You may not be able to live as a good citizen for the rest of your life. The minister was sympathetic, and now he had to go back to Shangrou City, and he was concerned about this matter, so he was bent on finding out all kinds of secrets, and sure enough, he went to Sili Mansion yesterday for a visit, and the minions of Sili Mansion were all above the top, and they not only did not worship, but they threatened the minister, threatening the people behind Sili Mansion, who could throw the minister out of Shangrou City, not only threw the minister out of Shangrou City, but even the prince could also be thrown out of Shangrou City, and the minister was very frightened, but even if he was afraid, he never flinched from the heart of the slave to ask for his life. ”

The third prince didn't expect that he really had the courage to impeach himself, so he quickly turned his head and gave the rest of the people a look, asking them to think of countermeasures quickly.

I only heard Wen Tingyu say again: "The ministers are often closed in Xiangshang City, and they often have no clue about what is happening in Shangrou City, and the ministers don't know who is in charge behind the Sili Mansion in Shangrou City." Today, the minister impeached both the people of the Sili Mansion and the people behind the Sili Mansion, no matter who that person was. ”

This is a high-sounding statement, the behavior of the Sili Mansion is known to everyone over the years, but because the three princes are quite powerful in Shangrou City, everyone does not dare to offend, lest the three princes ascend to His Majesty's golden chair in the future, so everyone is afraid of the three princes, even if they know that the Sili Mansion is excessive, and they are very angry, but they are afraid of offending the three princes, so no one dares to say a word.

Several people looked at each other secretly, and the grass on the wall in their hearts began to shake again, and the nature of the rudder began to haunt them when they saw the wind.

"What do you Aiqing think of this?" Emperor Duan did not express his opinion, and he was very amused by the attitude of the other ministers.

Everyone didn't dare to speak, they didn't dare to offend the three princes, because they didn't know whether the three princes would be offended, and they didn't dare to offend the prince, and many people didn't dare to speak, and they were silent for a while.

Duanhuang sighed, "Don't speak?" ”

"Okay, don't speak. In the past, you sang the praises of Shangrou City one by one, but everyone talked and laughed, scrambling to be the first, why did everyone be dumbfounded when this kind of thing happened? ”

The third prince took the lead and said, "The son has a word. Erchen thought that although Sili Mansion was overbearing, it was also excusable. Originally, the Sili Mansion was not high, but it had to be divided into six divisions, and there were many slaves in Shangrou City, and it was really difficult for each of these people to remember the names of these slaves, and they always had time to neglect their duties, which was also understandable. The ministers thought that only by improving the level of the Si Lifu could they be grateful for His Majesty's kindness and everyone would be loyal to their duties. ”

"Joke!" Duanhuang said angrily: "How many people outside are still performing for a mouthful of food, how many people outside are selling themselves as slaves for a mouthful of food, and how many people outside have eaten a meal all their lives." You're actually asking for money for the Sili Mansion now! ”

Seeing that the three princes were scolded, everyone had a bottom in their hearts, and someone wanted to expose the fact that the three princes were covering the Sili Mansion to collect money, but they were stopped by General Fan.

Wen Tingyu stepped forward and replied to Emperor Duan: "There is evidence on the minister's side that the people of the Sili Mansion are floating in the matter and collecting money and greedy for money. ”

Duanhuang said: "Present it." ”

Wen Tingyu raised his hand respectfully and held the evidence high, and Eunuch Liu hurriedly stepped down, took the evidence, and presented it to Emperor Duan.

"Read - read to all people—"

"Yes."

Eunuch Liu read them one by one: "Liunu: formerly known as Meng Qi, the slave name is Liuhan, on October 18, the time for selling his body expired, he restored his free body, and went to Sili Mansion to destroy his slave status, but because he couldn't get fifty taels of bribes, he was turned away. ”

The third prince interrupted Eunuch Liu and said, "Your Majesty is wise, like this, the minister can also find a storyteller to make it up." Is this the proof? Even if the slave was here, the minister thought that he had been bought. ”

Duanhuang nodded: "Come on, pass on my iron order, go to Sili Mansion to get the slave book, I want to see if this person named Meng Qi is still recorded on the slave book now." ”

"Yes."

Duanhuang continued: "You read it again. ”

After half an hour like this, the Imperial Forest Army retrieved the slave book of Sili Mansion, presented it to Duanhuang Duanhuang to find a cup of tea, and then decided: "Meng Qi, sure enough, the name is on the slave book." Now three years have passed, his name is thrown on the slave register, he is no longer a slave, the deed of sale has been torn up, how does Si Lifu do things! ”

Seeing that Emperor Duan was furious, all the ministers knelt down.

Wen Tingyu said: "If you don't give money, you can't destroy the slave status, this is just one of the sins of the Sili Mansion." The most poisonous thing about Sili Mansion is that it is above the top and relies on power to make a fortune. ”

Duanhuang nodded: "You are right. ”

Duanhuang said, looked down at the third prince, and said, "Sili Mansion, you are going to withdraw your hand." ”
