Chapter 396 Criticism 4
"Le Yile?" Qiaoxiang glared at him viciously, and said with an angry face: "What you call Le Yile, is it just talking nonsense, disregarding right from wrong, and maliciously slandering..."

Before Qiaoxiang could finish speaking, the old man made a gesture and hurriedly interrupted her: "Wait, girl, when did I slander you maliciously?"

"You're just reckless, and you even earn a few copper coins by telling stories, so how can you know those secrets in the boudoir?" Huan'er also spoke at the right time, staring at him aggressively, and asked sharply.

"This..." The old man was at a loss for words when he was asked, he didn't know how to answer, he could only touch the tip of his nose guiltily, showing a silly smile that didn't know anything, trying to get away with it.

"Old man Bai, I know, you must have collected a lot of money..." Wei Zijin finally spoke, and asked in a deep voice, "Who made you say that?"

"Quickly say—" Qiaoxiang and Huan'er scolded in unison, and Kong Wu also looked at him imposingly.

The old man Bai was stared at by their group, unable to get away, sweating profusely, feeling something bad in his heart, but he dared not tell the truth, he hesitated and spoke vaguely for a while.

Seeing his vague words, Wei Zijin frowned displeasedly, and said coldly: "Although you are just a storyteller, you maliciously made up stories that would damage the reputation of court officials. The crime of offending the court officials will be thrown directly into prison!"

The old man Bai's face suddenly turned pale, his legs trembled constantly, he seemed to have been shocked by Wei Zijin's threat, and he was so frightened that he could not speak clearly.

Qiaoxiang and Huan'er also sneered, took Wei Zijin's words and continued to threaten him: "Don't seek short-term benefits, and lose your old life!"

"I...I don't want to die yet..." The old man Bai finally lost his legs, knelt down, and kowtowed to Wei Zijin and others, his body trembling: "Please do me a favor, please forgive me this time, don't let me die." Report to the government!"

"As long as you tell me who ordered you to arrange it like that, we may consider letting you go!" Wei Zijin said lightly, and had already issued an ultimatum to him.

The old man hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and told the truth.

"It's like this. A girl from a rich family found me and gave me a sum of money. She asked me to make up such a story, and told me that the more exaggerated the story, the better. I think she gave me a lot of money. accepted……"

When the old man Bai said this, he was kicked hard by Qiaoxiang.

"How dare you do such an unconscionable thing for money, it's really abominable..." Qiaoxiang kicked him, still feeling puzzled, and was about to kick him a second time, but was stopped by Kong Wu.

The old man Bai knew he was ashamed, and he didn't dare to refute, he hung his head and said nothing.

Wei Zijin had already heard some clues from the words of the old man Bai, and asked pleasantly: "You should remember what that girl from a rich family looks like?"

The old man Bai nodded, and told the girl's appearance in detail, which made Qiaoxiang furious again.

Because the girl from a wealthy family that the old man Bai described is clearly Wei Anhe's personal maid, Xiangyu!
No matter how courageous Xiangyu was, she would not dare to do this without permission. This must have been instigated by her master Wei Anhe!
