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

This sour taste...

It's no different from kids fighting over toys.

Fu Yutang was amused. Looking at the two nervous people, he said seriously, "I don't care about him. I have decided not to be with him. Being with Ah Zhen and Ah Shang is the best in the world."

"Who would believe that!" Yan Zhen snorted coldly. Although she said she didn't believe it, there was an obvious smile on her face that she couldn't suppress.

Qi Shang was the same. Although he didn't say anything, there was a gleam of light in his eyes and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly.

After a long while, Yan Zhen put away the joy in her heart, tried to pretend that she was not very happy, and asked calmly: "When is Brother Tang going to interrogate the King of Xiang and others?"

"No rush. After all, he is a royal relative. It is not easy to torture him to extract a confession. Let's keep him like this for now and let him get used to life in prison."

Life in prison is much harder than in the Prince of Xiang's mansion. You have to do everything by yourself. Maybe the Prince of Xiang won't be able to bear it one day and confess voluntarily.

When Yan Zhen and Qi Shang heard this, they immediately understood Fu Yutang's plan and did not ask any more questions.

"What about Ah Shang? Did you have smooth sailing in Jingzhao Prefecture to retrieve the files?" Yan Zhen asked.

"It went smoothly, but..." Qi Shang smiled bitterly. Thinking of the missing children, the food in his mouth lost its sweetness and became tasteless.

Although Tang Ge loves to be lazy and slack off, he never misses a thing he should do, and that Zhang Xiaoshuai...

Qi Shang put down his chopsticks and sighed deeply. He really didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Fu Yutang said, "Speaking of Zhang Xiaoshuai, he is really amazing! If my working status is like lying flat on my back, then Zhang Xiaoshuai is paralyzed, and he is incontinent."

At least she, like a salted fish, would occasionally flutter her feet to remind everyone that she was still alive, but Zhang Xiaoshuai didn't move at all, like a dead puff.

It really makes her feel ashamed.

It's rare for a person to be so irresponsible.

Yan Zhen: “…”

understood.

but……

Everybody is eating!

Why use such a disgusting metaphor?

This time, Yan Zhen couldn't eat anymore.

The culprit was still clueless and greeted them warmly: "Why don't you guys eat anymore? There's so much food, it's enough for the three of us, don't be polite."

"...I'm full." Yan Zhen said unhappily.

Hearing this, Fu Yutang nodded, thinking that he was as full as she was because of Zhang Xiaoshuai's anger. She put down her chopsticks and waved to the yamen runner guarding the door to take away the bowl and chopsticks and make a pot of tea.

After rinsing his mouth and drinking two sips of tea, he got down to business. "I just looked through the case file and found a problem. Since Zhang Xiaoshuai was able to suppress the missing case for so long and prevent the victim from reporting the case to the Ministry of Justice without leaking any information, how did you find out the clues?"

"Speaking of all this, it's all thanks to Jiang Yueming."

When Fu Yutang asked, Qi Shang and Yan Zhen excitedly told her how meticulous Jiang Yueming was, and how when he was out investigating a case, he accidentally found a family with a strange look on their faces, and became suspicious. He then secretly investigated and found out that the family had lost their child, which led to this case and so on.

Fu Yutang listened to the two people's stories patiently without saying anything.

"It's probably because Jiang Yueming became a father this year, and he can empathize with the families who lost their children. After learning the news, he was furious and went to Jingzhao Prefecture to confront Zhang Xiaoshuai. However, Zhang Xiaoshuai refused to admit it. Jiang Yueming had no choice but to bring up our Ministry of Justice, saying that the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple would take over the missing cases and asked Zhang Xiaoshuai to cooperate fully. The result was..."
