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

"Master Fu?" The King of Xiang looked around in a pretentious manner and asked in confusion, "Where is he? Why can't I see him?"

Because you are blind.

Yan Zhen replied in his heart, "He is right beside me."

Fu Yutang also stood up at the right time, bowed to the King of Xiang and said, "Your Majesty, I am here."

"Ah, so you are Minister Fu." The King of Xiang looked at her in pretended surprise, "I thought you were a beggar from somewhere."

"Did Minister Fu go rolling in the mud? I know that you were not favored by Marquis Annan since you were a child. You grew up in the mountains with your biological mother, who was a maid. Your lack of education led to your rude behavior. But now you are an official appointed by the court. How can you still behave so frivolously?!"

I almost pointed at her nose and scolded her for being a hopeless case.

Fu Yutang laughed, not angry at all, and sighed, "I also want to be clean, but..."

He raised his hand and pointed at Shi Zhen and the others, and said quietly, "I got dirty because of cleaning up these shady rats. Please forgive me, Your Highness. However, I think Your Highness is sensible and tolerant, so he will not hold it against me, right?"

The King of Xiang snorted coldly and followed the direction she indicated. His eyes paused at Shi Zhen and the others. He was about to ask her to release them, but Fu Yutang would not give him the chance to speak. He spoke first, "Alas! It's really true. You said that these little mice did evil in secret, but they even pretended to be the servants of Jingzhao Prefecture and wanted to discredit the court. They are so sinister and their hearts deserve death!

People often say that animals resemble their owners. I think the owner who raised them is also a shady person! Only he could think of such a move to discredit the court and damage the reputation of Jingzhao Prefecture! It is simply unforgivable! I will never tolerate such a sinister villain going unpunished!

I am going to send them to the prison of the Ministry of Justice and interrogate them thoroughly. I will dig out their shady master and bring him to justice. I will clear the name of the court, bring justice to Jingzhao Prefecture, and bring peace to the capital! Your Majesty, what do you think?"

After Fu Yutang's indirect criticism, the King of Xiang's face suddenly turned dark, and he slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Fu Yutang, you!"

"I'm here." Fu Yutang looked at him with a smile and asked respectfully, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"

Prince Xiang stared at her intently, his chest rising and falling violently. If eyes could kill, the person in front of him would have died hundreds of times. After a long while, he retracted his gaze, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened them again, and said in a cold voice: "They are the guards of my mansion. There may be a misunderstanding. You hand them over to me and I will investigate..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw the person in front of him open his eyes wide and shouted in a voice that everyone could hear: "What! Are they really your men, the King of Xiang?!"

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Shi Zhen and others, with a look of deep emotion, "It turns out that you really didn't lie. You are really the chief steward of the Xiangwang Mansion!"

It is good to know.

Shi Zhen looked at her smugly. If she knew what was best for her, she should let him go.

Quite arrogant.

Fu Yutang raised his eyebrows, then his eyes darkened and he said calmly, "I'm sorry that I can't comply with your request. This group of people intends to kill an official of the imperial court. They are extremely evil and are serious criminals. I can't let them go."

"Killing an official appointed by the imperial court?" The King of Xiang narrowed his eyes and said with great displeasure: "Minister Fu, please stop slandering us! Who saw them committing the crime?"
