After the villain was defeated, she still had power in the government

After a long silence, Feng Xingjun finally spoke up and asked, "In your opinion, Lord Rui, how should I deal with the Marquis of Annan?"

Rui Chengyin glanced at the calm Fu Yutang and felt annoyed. Why was he charging in the front while this guy just stood by and watched and enjoyed the results?

Pursing his lips, he lowered his head and said, "Master Fu, as the Minister of Justice, has the most experience in this kind of case. Why don't you tell me how to judge the Marquis of Annan?"

Oh my God!

Everyone knows that Fu Yutang is cruel and ruthless, but Rui Chengyin is no less cruel. He actually led the father and son to kill each other!

It seems that the feud between Qiangye and Ye is irreconcilable.

All the civil and military officials sighed in their hearts at the same time.

Feng Xingjun did not expect Rui Chengyin to play such a trick. Just as he was about to open his mouth to reject his request, he saw Fu Yutang stand up and said in a calm voice: "Since Rui Yushi said so, then I will briefly explain it. According to the laws of Daning, officials who accept bribes or give bribes will be executed. If the amount is less than 5,000 taels of silver, those who voluntarily surrender and repent of their mistakes will not be punished.

In simple terms, if an official accepts or gives bribes, not only the official himself but also his attendants and attendants will be killed. If the amount of bribes is less than 5,000 taels of silver, those who voluntarily surrender, repent and admit their mistakes with a good attitude will only be punished but not executed.

"The Marquis of Annan bribed 3,000 taels, which is not enough for the death penalty. Now it depends on his attitude of admitting his mistakes. If he truly repents, he can be treated leniently. If he refuses to admit his guilt, then his crime will be even more serious!"

Upon hearing Fu Yutang's words, Annan Hou immediately kowtowed to Feng Xingjun, "I admit my mistake. I shouldn't have bribed you. Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."

After a few times, the wound that was originally hidden under the official hat and was caused by last night's knock opened again, and a stream of blood slowly flowed down the forehead, looking very pitiful.

Rui Chengyin: “……!!”

Marquis Annan, I am truly sorry.

I am not targeting you on purpose. Everything I am doing now is completely out of necessity. I was forced to do it by your son Fu Yutang!

I'm really sorry.

A trace of pity flashed across Rui Chengyin's face. He looked away and subconsciously apologized in his heart. Only then did he suppress his guilt a little.

Feng Xingjun, who was sitting above, felt bad when he saw Marquis Annan's face covered in blood.

How did Marquis Annan make such a mess of such a simple matter that he almost lost his life in the end?

No matter how hard he tried to think, he still couldn't figure it out. Finally, he sighed imperceptibly and said in a deep voice, "Since the Marquis of Annan failed in his bribery attempt and has admitted his fault, and has a good attitude of admitting his mistake, then he should be punished by being confined to reflect on his mistakes for three months. What do you think, Censor Rui?"

Rui Chengyin had never thought of targeting Marquis Annan, so he naturally agreed when he heard this.

"Besides this, do you have any other important matters?" Feng Xingjun asked again.

"Your Majesty, I have something else to report."

You again?

Feng Xingjun looked at Rui Chengyin speechlessly, "Is there anything else, Imperial Censor Rui?"

Facing Feng Xingjun's unhappy look, Rui Chengyin cursed Fu Yutang, the culprit, in his heart and said with a stiff upper lip: "I want to impeach Jingzhao Yin Zhang Xiaoshuai for dereliction of duty!"

After these words were spoken, everyone in the hall had different expressions.

Among them, Zhang Xiaoshuai, who was standing at the back of the team, performed the most obviously.

His eyes widened slightly, his face full of disbelief. He never thought that Rui Chengyin would report him.

He thought he was a very smooth person and had no grudges or enmity with Rui Chengyin in the past or present. Why did Rui Chengyin suddenly turn his attention to him?
