Chapter 32 So Rich? It's Not Impossible

The young officials stared at Yuanruan anxiously.

Yuanruan:?

She smiled slightly and waved her hand, "Eye-ya-yeye".

Everyone almost fell down. Now is not the time to be cute!

At this moment, the curly-haired rich woman said, "This is my betrothal gift. Let me show you my sincerity."

After saying that, she boldly dragged over a huge box that she had brought with her and dumped out the contents of it. To everyone's surprise, there were no gold, silver, or jewelry inside, but piles of documents.

Just as everyone was wondering, the Assistant Minister of War was about to say with disdain that Daxia never uses the precious currency of Chu.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the voice in my heart:

System: [Ah Ruan! This rich woman is obsessed with love! These are actually the title deeds and specific map locations of the ore mines. How much would they cost if converted?]

What?!

It's such a dazzling good thing? !

The Minister of War staggered and almost fell down, his mouth almost drooling.

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue almost rushed over, but he suppressed his excitement and grabbed the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War's elbow: "If you can get over here, I will give the Ministry of War a raise."

The assistant minister of the Ministry of War rolled his eyes and said, "Get lost." If they really want to seize all the spoils, they will give them to the Ministry of War, and they will also need your share of the money.

Everyone else looked at the prince: Why not just pretend to be him? It's just taking in another concubine, it's not impossible.

Prince: ...

He was the crown prince, how could he look at him like that? The crown prince looked back at his father indignantly, but he didn't expect his father to look thoughtful as well. The crown prince almost laughed out of anger.

The prince spoke with a sense of crisis: "You seem to be quite shrewd when it comes to business, but I didn't expect you to be so foolish. Do you know who you sleep with at night? It's not me, but Murong's child who came to Daxia with you."

Yuanruan widened his eyes in surprise:

[It turns out that my nephew knows the truth. Wait, could it be that his previous series of operations were a deliberate setup? Is he trying to catch a turtle in a jar? ]

Everyone: ???

What kind of deliberate trap is this? Catching turtles in a jar?

Is there any mystery here?

The emperor, who had experienced some tragic events before, immediately began to examine Murong's facial features. It seemed that the other person did not have blue eyes, and his facial features did not resemble his.

At this time, the curly-haired woman frowned and said, "Impossible! His Royal Highness is well-read in poetry books, it is impossible for a barbarian who can't read a single word to pretend to be one."

After a pause, she said with some disappointment, "I thought you people from the Central Plains were well-read and knew better what a man should do and take responsibility for. I didn't expect that you were so ignorant and heartless."

System: [Ah Ruan, there is an old saying that people who are most negative are scholars. You can’t use academic qualifications as a filter.]

Yuanruan: [Hmm.]

People who read poetry: …

This is new to me. This is the first time I’ve heard that being well-educated can lead to discrimination.

Murong, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly and said righteously: "Your Highness, although I was born in the countryside, I have never had sex with your woman. If Your Highness does not believe me, I am willing to die to prove my point!"

Everyone was hesitant.

Yuan Ruan: [Alas, this death to prove one's integrity cannot be attributed to my nephew. There is no such thing as chastity among men.]

System: [No, there is a way! Just take off his shirt! ]

Crowd: !!!

What? Is there a way? Can a man also verify whether he is a virgin?

The prince knew that the system never spoke nonsense, so he gave the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice a look and then said, "We in Daxia treat people with kindness and justice, and we don't need you to die. The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice is a genius in judging cases, and he has a way to verify your identity."

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice was confused for a moment, but he quickly realized that the prince was asking him to use a "systematic" method to get ahead.

He shouted, "Your Highness, it's very simple, just take off his shirt!"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd burst into surprise:

"Can you tell if he's a virgin by taking off his shirt?"

"Daniu, can you take it off so I can see?"

"Get lost! What are you looking at? Are you looking at me to see if I've been to a brothel?"

System: [Hmm? That person actually said that. It seems that they really know about it! ]

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice felt more pleased when he heard the mysterious voice, and continued, "Take off your shirt, and I will test your virginity..."

System: [What! In ancient times, virginity could be verified? So advanced?]

Young officials: ...

They all glanced at the Minister of Justice in silence.

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice stumbled and changed the subject, "Of course I can't test your virginity."

Crowd: …

You're good at changing the subject.

As soon as these words came out, the common people were shocked:

"You can't verify a man's virginity? Then how can you tell that he has an affair with a girl?"

"That must be nonsense."

"Sir, you have to provide evidence."

…

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice was sweating coldly and wanted to slap himself. He should have known better than to speak so arrogantly and take the lead.

He stared at Yuan Ruan eagerly, feeling uneasy, and said perfunctorily: "As for the reason, this evidence..."

Yuan Ruan: [System, the Minister of Justice is still keeping us in suspense, can you tell me why? ]

System: [What kind of evidence is needed? In order to please the woman, Murong Ji often played some perverted whipping games with her. The woman's nails were painted with a layer of very special light purple nail polish. Normally, it looked like it had been washed off, but in the dark, light blue lines could be seen. If the Minister of Justice showed this, it would be ironclad evidence. I guess the Minister of Justice would not bother to explain.]

The young officials who were watching the excitement suddenly realized what was going on, and several of them couldn't help but look at the Vice Minister of Justice with jealousy: How can you be so lucky to be in the limelight!

The Minister of Justice was about to shed tears.

There is no disdain there, I just don't know!

With a grateful heart, he repeated the system's explanation in confusing words, and then had Murong Ji forcibly undressed.

Murong Ji, kneeling on the ground, took off his clothes calmly. Nothing could be seen in the sunlight. However, when the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice took him to a dark room, he could see purple scratches on his back in the darkness, which looked like scratches by human fingernails or whipping.

Everyone: Their pupils were dizzy. It was just as the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice said. It was a very fancy way of playing.

The curly-haired woman looked suspicious and walked over hesitantly, saying, "You, how could you have such a thing..."

Murong Ji burst into tears and said, "I really don't know. I am a savage who carries coal every day to make a living. But I was often driven away with whips. Maybe this is the scar from the injury I received at that time."

The curly-haired woman stared at him for two seconds and said, "You are lying."

Murong Ji was still pitiful, and angrily shouted to the prince: "Your Highness, I have never done it. But if Your Highness needs it, I can take it on."

The curly-haired woman didn't look at him, but bowed to the prince and said, "Your Highness, I, Zhou Niang, am not so stubborn as to let it go. If you can produce more evidence to prove that I was wrong, I will admit my mistake. If you can't, you have to give me an explanation!"

Crowd: This woman is quite straightforward.

System: [What a pity! The infatuated girl is still quite rational, but she has already fallen into the trap of this national restoration thief.]

Those who were originally just enjoying the show:!!!

Who, who are you talking about?

Restoration thief?

Wait, so this is what the system was talking about before, catching turtles in a jar? !

The young officials' eyes widened and some even rolled up their sleeves.

The emperor waved his hand backwards, and hundreds of palace guards hiding in the dark appeared and ambushed at all the entrances and exits.

The prince's expression froze, and he waved his hand and said, "Come here, take down this traitor who is trying to overthrow Daxia."

The curly-haired woman was stunned.

Murong Ji's face was obviously panicked for a moment, but he quickly stood in front of Zhou and saluted, saying, "Your Highness, I am just a wild man. I was lucky enough to be with you in transporting beehive coal to the Western Regions. I have no one around me and no money in my hands, so how could I be a traitor? Your Highness is kind-hearted, why do you have to accuse me and kill me just because of your children's love affair, and tarnish your reputation!"

The prince said, "How dare you make excuses?"

"I dare not make excuses." Murong Ji bowed again, "But Your Highness the Crown Prince has accused me without reason. If I admit my injustice today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, countless people will be forced to admit it."

Crowd: !!!

This guy is indeed a villain. He knows how to stir up public opinion at the critical moment.

Seeing that the nearby people were being agitated, the young officials became a little anxious.

Is there any other way to prove that Murong Ji was the one who slept with her?

Many officials secretly looked at Yuanruan, hoping that the mysterious voice would give them another reminder.

[Hey, can the semen DNA tester detect it? No, not even after so many days. ]

Semen DNA tester?

Could it be a divine weapon from the divine world?

Even divine tools can't do it, so there is no way to do it?

Hearing this, everyone's heart sank.

The prince's face darkened.

The emperor calmly glanced at everyone and finally his eyes fell on the prince: After all, he is a young man and too naive. He needs to be taught a little more.

Thinking of this, the emperor waved his hand, and the palace guards surrounding him either raised their shields, held long swords, or drew longbows, ready to rush out and capture the opponent.

The curly-haired woman was so alert that she suddenly said, "Quick! Run!"

"What?" Murong Ji narrowly collided head-on with the curly-haired woman.

"Ouch!" The curly-haired woman suddenly covered her stomach and bent over in pain.

【Ah! I remembered another way! 】

Everyone turned their heads in unison: !!!
