The county magistrate is in trouble. The representative's mother was right; it's not safe here. Going back to our hometown is the best choice. But now, this wife won't listen to any advice, and this son is clueless too.
After what happened last time, he was disheartened and felt that he couldn't afford to offend anyone, so he decided to go back...
Going back to my hometown, at least there's a house and some land there, and I can earn some money by treating people.
He's not very capable, easily swayed, and has let his own mother down; that's all he can do.
Mo Bao had been living a terrible life lately. He felt that this was not a life fit for a human being. He wanted to go back to the old days when he could go drinking and gambling with his friends. Those were the good days.
"Mother, I want to follow you."
Seeing this, Mo Chen said nothing more.
My mother was right when she said that he was actually quite selfish; he only wanted to protect himself and let the others go if they wanted to.
Mo Chen wrote a divorce agreement, and the two of them signed and sealed it, after which they had no further relationship.
Mrs. Lin hurriedly took her son back home.
She thought she could get the clinic back, but when she got back she found out that the general was not a good person and was not Lin Hui at all. In the end, she did not get the clinic back and was even disliked by her family. The mother and son went to find Mo Chen, but Mo Chen had already left.
They had to find their own way to survive. Lin blamed her son for not studying hard and for only seeking pleasure.
Xiao Bao was annoyed that Lin Shi insisted on coming back instead of staying with her father.
Finally, they remembered the house and decided to report it to the authorities, hoping to get the house back from the bride's family. However, the bride's family did hand over the house, but they didn't get the house back from them.
The two were beaten by Lin's family and left in the alley...
Mo Chen, accompanied by his last servant, slowly made his way back to his hometown. Along the way, they encountered many disaster victims. He was clever; he pretended to be poor, eating only coarse grain cakes, and eventually, he stopped eating altogether, managing to return to his hometown. Of course, Lin Hui's men were also there to protect him; otherwise, they would have robbed him of everything long ago.
His family back home had heard about it long ago, and they found his actions utterly despicable, but they still allowed him to stay in the Mo family's house.
The Mo family has been a great help to the Mo family. Both Mo Yan's father and husband share the surname Mo. They heal the sick and save lives, and are respected by everyone.
Although Mo Chen is a scoundrel, he is still a member of their family.
So they ignored him.
He wanted to treat people's illnesses, but no one sought his help. He could only gather herbs to earn a few copper coins to spend, which made him look rather pitiful.
It's just that nobody sympathizes with them.
...
Lin and Xiaobao couldn't find any work, so they could only dig for wild vegetables outside, but at that time no one would give food to others.
With an increasing number of displaced people, coupled with the fact that the tyrant who occupied the county town was no good, the people were suffering terribly...
——
Mo Yan complained to the emperor, but to her surprise, the officials still protected each other.
Mo Yan, all alone and dressed in white, began to beat the Dengwen Drum.
They walked through a path of fire and rolled over a bed of nails before finally arriving before the emperor.
She left, having completed all the procedures.
Before all the civil and military officials, she filed a lawsuit against the county magistrate, the prefect, and other officials above the prefect level, as well as those who shared the same interests with them. A string of petitions and evidence were laid out before them all...
Did Mo Yan accuse him in front of the emperor?
No, she wants everyone to see this filthy world.
We must let those good officials, the Grand Tutor, and those upright officials who have the power to speak out see what the world is really like now.
Mo Yan looked at them and spoke, word by word.
At this moment, Mo Yan's white clothes were stained red, but she stood there without a trace of fear on her face.
She listed the crimes of these people and produced all the evidence.
"Please make the decision, Your Majesty."
The emperor was bewildered and very unhappy. What was wrong with those people above him? Who would try to make him happy?
He is the emperor, he is the greatest.
Why can't I let the person I like become an official?
"You're just a lowly village woman, what right do you have to sue the authorities?"
Everyone: "???"
Grand Tutor: "???"
Prime Minister: "???"
What's wrong with Your Majesty? Someone beat the drum to appeal, so you have to investigate properly. There are witnesses and physical evidence, aren't there?
"Your Majesty, I believe that a trial should begin to give this woman justice."
“Your Majesty, once the drum for petitioning is sounded, Your Majesty shall open the palace gates and hear this case in front of everyone.”
Upon hearing this, the emperor's expression changed, and he looked as if he were afraid of death. "That won't do. There are so many rebels now. What if they kill me if I leave the palace?"
Everyone: "..." How could this emperor be so cowardly?
There was no other way; this emperor was one of only two mentally challenged sons left by the late emperor, so the power struggle had to end with him being chosen.
He had many sons, but none of them were very capable. However, the court was full of old fogies who still strongly supported the emperor, even though he was incompetent and foolish.
Everyone clearly felt that Prince Yunchen of Nanchen should be the emperor, but in the end, it was only because the emperor was too old that...
The emperor didn't manage anything; he left it all to the prime minister, who had many subordinates, and officials protected each other.
Upon examining the evidence, the Prime Minister declared, "These are nothing but a pile of worthless paper; they cannot serve as evidence."
Mo Yan remained calm. "I have witnesses and physical evidence."
"It doesn't count."
Mo Yan could tell at a glance that this person didn't want to get involved.
"I thought the petition drum was your last shred of dignity, but I never expected you would abandon even that last bit of dignity."
