Chapter 539 This person actually dared to commit a crime
The system continued: [The Minister of Revenue attaches great importance to the country's agricultural grain. Ah Ruan, if you use this as a gamble, he will definitely compromise. If he compromises, how can the officials of the Ministry of Revenue not participate? If it really doesn't work, choose your eldest nephew and Cheng Weining. They will definitely be happy to play with you.]
Prince: ...
Cheng Weining: …
Yuan Ruan touched his chin: [That makes sense. Let me think about it. I need to find a better opportunity.]
System: [Yes! Anyway, there is still some time before the next round of farming, so there is no rush. Ah Ruan, do you still want to eat melons? ]
Yuan Ruan yawned: [Eat it. I guess we’ll leave the court after we finish eating three melons.]
System: [Let me see... Hey, there's a new guy over there, trembling and hiding behind the crowd, hahahaha... Still hiding, still hiding! Let's pick him.]
Yuan Ruan looked over as the system instructed, and indeed saw a person shrinking his head and trying to hide.
Yuan Ruan: [Hahahaha…I suddenly understand why the teacher likes to call the names of the students sitting in the back seat during class. This is him.]
The court officials almost laughed out loud: it was a bit tragic to be the last one to be chosen.
System: [Okay, let me see... Hey, there's a half-red, half-white melon on this person? Wow, how dare this person lie to you! ]
Eat melons: !!!
The court officials, who originally had funny or relaxed expressions, suddenly became serious.
Those who tried to hide shuddered all over and broke out in cold sweat.
Yuanruan was puzzled: [Ah? Are you lying to me? I haven't met any new people recently.] System: [Aruan, his family members didn't lie to you. He was making trouble on your territory. Waqu, he even cheated you out of your money!]
Money = gold = jade!
Yuanruan's expression suddenly became serious, and he rolled up his chubby sleeves: [What? This guy wants to cheat me of my jade, tell me now!]
Seeing Yuan Ruan was so anxious, the system made a long story short: [This man's father once saved the daughter of a minor noble family in the Western Regions and took her as a concubine. Recently, Liuli was sold to the Western Regions. Someone from the Western Regions came to do business and became a relative of this concubine. Then, in order to make huge profits, this family partnered to do the human trafficking business...]
Yuanruan felt something was wrong when she heard this. Wasn’t it about money? Why did it get to the point of human trafficking?
Yuan Ruan immediately added: [Wait a minute, Tong'er, did you say something wrong? How did you get to the topic of human trafficking?]
System: [Aruan, I am not wrong. This person's family, under the pretext of sponsoring national education, is engaged in human trafficking on the edge of your fiefdom, Aruan. Because they are using your name as a banner, many people dare not speak out. Aruan, once this matter is exposed, your reputation will be lowered, and it will definitely affect your business and your ability to make money! ]
The emperor's face darkened instantly.
The prince cast a cold gaze upon the man, wondering who he was and what connections he had in his family.
The official who was related to this man by marriage staggered and almost fell to his knees.
The courtiers in charge of maintaining public order were furious. They glared at him and muttered, "Damn it, the new guy is going to make a scene!"
Human population business?! And he's still using the title of the national teacher?!
This person is already seeking death!
…
Yuan Ruan felt his scalp tingling, and a surge of anger was burning in his chest: [I’m so angry! Tong’er, the focus now is not on making money, but on the fact that this guy is actually engaged in human trafficking! It’s a crime!]
